 Extract of a letter from gentleman in

 Bahia, to his brother in Providence,

 dated

 seBAmEA, 3d March, 1850.

 The only news we have, is the assas- sination, on Sunday evening, of the Pre- sident of the Province. He was shot by some man mounted on a horse, and received into his back and liver, two ba,ls and three slugs. EEediedm fifteen minutes after. The assassin made his escape. It is not known from what cause this horrid murder took place; but as we are perfectly quiet, and no appearance of disturbance, have reason to suppose some private pique was the cause. and nothing political. The Pre- sideat was to have retired from office in a few days, as a new one from Rio de Jaaeiro is immediately expected.

 Venezuela is nation constituted be- fore Colombia was thought of. < z x x We wish to owe nothing but to our selves; we will not depend on Bolivar nor any body else; we will appoint our public 1ctionaries and depose them in conformity with the laws, if they mis- behave. No presidencies for life, no Bo- iiviaa constitutions, no ambitious views, noeonsplring projects. Wewill reduce the contributions to the most necessary level. There shall be no excessive sa- laries, no tyrants. The mighty from this day forward shall be under control, easy removable without more revolu- tions. Our Congress is going to meet at Venezaela-now it is time to think exclusively on supporting 1t. If we had reason hitherto to complain of the Gov ernmeat, to condemn it's hostile proceed ings, the case is different when the Gov erame It will be our own, elected by our free will and in our own territory. Let us beware therefore. sviTF hat was praise worthyin government which misraled and oppressed us when it was not ours nor in our interest, would be criminal in q government being our own, appoint ed by our will and composed of persons more deserving our confidence. It is ourdaty now tosupportit at all hazards. There is no more ground now to attack it. If we have not chosen more con- spicuous persons, ours is the fault, we caa blame only ourselves. If carried away by the popular applause of the last days and by the momentary exhibi- tions of it, which we so much cherish. we prefer fashion to usefulness; if we appoint, to represent ,ls, not men fitted for that arduous duty, but such as have lately most distinguished themselves by 5 tthsleiIopinioas, and if we waive the other qualities indispensably required; if we give up wisdom, profit and the patriot ism of years, for mere caprice or un- founded suspicious, evils of another de scription await us, evils at present ire mediable. Ne must repeat, it is the duty of every patriot to defend, support. respect our Venezuelean Government. and to make itcreditablc. 1t is in our
