The 'miii.ds of all were e?:a»- pejated hy thin parage acts of the governor, MoQtev-enle, and the comraanding officer, guo- P ola. The affair, of Aragua, above all, filled eve rv bs>artwith\ihedleepest indignation against the army of the Royalists. Pnosoja bad entered, as 9. friend, with the troops of tbe Spanish. Government, the Httle town of Aragua, and the townsfolk wishing to Jet* in cetebratioiPof his entrance. He order- ed public rejoicings, awl after a religious prso- cefiionj- th-; indi*penfiab1e prelude to .every fet* in N«w Granada, he ordered a reviewof his troops to take place. The- inhabitants swarmed, and,, completely reafsured of the fritndly deportajegt of the Spanish, rushecj to accept SaqsQla.'s iavitation. AU'went on per- \ fecily well at first, avnd the people, filled with gratitude beoause its good government wag not doing^any injury, cried,.with enthusiasm: '•L^ng live Ferdinand VII.!—Long live S^u- 'solaf' —• —~•—— v ' ; '—— -•-•\-»• The latter replied by, charming and graciona sm'.les, and then gave on order to his soldiers to eurroand the place, and cat off the ears of &H-p*esent. without distinction of sex or age, iSeTeraT large Wlrets ~war»- hroaghtr^Metr were filled with the ears cut off, and sent to the governor, Monteverde. ,The governor saw, in this original present from his commander- in chief, a pledge of his fidelity to the good royaliet cauBe. Monteverde wrote as much to Suosola, who, pnehanted by tbe approbation of his superior, cut off many mwse ears, and made i cocfiades of them. The example found ithita- tors in tbe army, and the soldiers would hence^ forth wear no cockades but those made with ears. It became a fashion, and wherever tbe Spanish array passed, the inhabitants' ears were cut off to ornament the soldiers' ehakos. This moriBtrous aot served the projects of Bolivar by exasperating the Americans against the Spanish Grovernment. The talking of Ca- racas was the consequence. At a little dis- tance from the plain where the chief of the In* dependents was encamped, some days before (be taking of Caracas, was a hillock, of doable celebrity, on account of a spring of warm wat- ter, and of the miracles performed by a cele- brated virgin, ; whom-they,entitled the Virgin of the Hot Water.

Joly20,1801. \. \• , v- — \'TIS AMIEAOLS!\ A PASSAGE IN THE LIFE OF BOLIVAR. . When Bolivar at the head of a few patriots, raised the standard of independence in New Granada, the unfortunate Spanish colonies were already stricken to the heart by the nu- merous abuses of a deplorable Government. The arbitrary spirit of the kings of Spain^ ;their insatiate and impolitio cupidity—their narrow-minded spirit, of necessity made of one of the richest countries, from its extraordinary fertility and mineralogical treasures, the most wretched spot in the New World. It would be difficult to conceive to what an extent the kings of Spain, who bad succeeded one another since the discovery of America, labored to ruin their possessions fieyond the sea. After the peace of Badajos, France alone was permitted to have consuls, or agents, in Spanish America; and, even then, all they did was carefully Watched by the double police of the civil and religious authorities. In consid- eration of all the privileges accorded to the Church during the three last centuries, Bolivar thought that the most formidable army against tbe independence of New Granada would be that of the priests and monks, if it declared itself against the insurrection. He therefore begged the clergy to remain in a nemtral posi tion during tbe events about to take place, and they consented. The price of this neutrality WXB, that Bolivar promised to preserve intact all the priviliges of the Cbureb, if he triumph ed; and, in fact, the heads of the clergy took their seats in the Congress, and were acknowl- edged as most efficient in all civil and even military employments; they were paid in pre- ference to all other citizens j and the Catholic religion was acknowledged to the exclusion of every other form of faith. The circumstance we are about to relate oc- curred in the (jotameDcemeat of 1823, Bolivar, at the head of am army of four or nvethout»ad the this Madonna had extended far beyond %m In fact, a king of Spain being ill, came like a poor commoner to the Virgin d'Jlqua Caliente, and sent her a magnificent golden crownunut of gratitude for his restoration to health. Thi» gift gave occasion to a solemn ceremony, when the crown was placed on the head of tn» Vir- gin of Miraoles, whose renown was mach aug- mented by such an event. -* Nevertheless, nothing had changed in oatnp of Bolivar since the arrival'of tbe Inde- pendents near Caracas, The Liberator of Col luBJbia, as waa usual with them, had jast settled the pay due to his troops (who were crying out for food and clothing), by reading them, a frerh proclamation. It was thus -that for a length of time, in consequence of the difficul- ties of bis position, he acquitted his debts to- ward tbe brave volunteers who composed his army. A singular army it was. Those sol- diers who possessed a uniform complete, form- ed a select corps and marched in the front ranks; the. Soldiers who had shoes, trowsers and hats, bat no coats, formed a very respectable body after the first-named, and marched in the second rank ; those who had shoes and trow* sers, bat no hats or coats, composed the third rank; those with trowsers. but possessing no other article of uniform, marched in the fourth rank; in short, the more unfortunate and light- ly Clad still were lost sight of in the crowd of the last ranks. Bolivar had just finished edit- ing beforehand a last proclamation—-which was to liquidate the pay of the next month, when it should be due—when they came and told him that a stranger wished to speak to bimu : This stranger was Juan Rodrigues Ceballos Jardines d'Alfandiga, Grand Vicar of the Archbishop of Caracas. Bolivar's countenance became thoughtful; he felt that tbe Archbishop of Caracas would not derange his Grand Vicar to bring, him good tidings. » The Father Don Juan Rodrigues Ceballos Jardines d'Alfandiga was a stout man of about ; forty, «f a narrow mind, having received a j very incomplete Mucatioa. He had riset j rapidly to the post which he ocflupi#d> thanks j to his jovial temper and conciliating hMMr, j and thanks, too, to his rotundity'of figure, J i (L. J
