Caracas, to the 20th of June, from which we translate the following items : — Venesucla ia quite agitated by the preparations of different parties for the next presidential election, particulars of which will be found in our correspon- dence, José Ruiz had been nominated, on the 1éth of June, bya numerous meeting of liberals of Caracas, a8 candidate for the Chief Magistraey of the republic. El Republicano thus speaks of this decision :—“ We congratulate the grand reunion ef liberals fof Cara- cas for so Judictows, just. and proper an election. It would be a great happiness to Venezuela, if # man so liberal, intelligent, just, esteemed, energetic and active as is Joré Ruiz, should be elected President at this moment, when reaction and dishonesty invade our country in every part.” El Republicano reproduces the address of Genera? Paez to the Verezuelan people, from St. Thomas, on the 13th of June, (this address has been already pub- Tikhed in the Herald.) and blimes, !a energetic terms, the condurt of the ex-President during the last two years. OUR VENEZVELAN CORRESPONDENCE. The Presidential Election in Venezuela—State of the Country—Names of the Candidates for the Presidency ~ The Poisoning of General Paez —The Creps, $e., $e. Disappointed again in my expectations of leaving, T have the pleasuze of once more addressing you. Since my last. nothing of peculiar interest has occurred, everything seeming quiet and tranquil, awaiting the developements of the nom!nations and Presidential election Whether the present quietude be that “grim repove of the whirlwind” of the British poet, awaiting “ite evening prey,” I cannot tell. Many ave the predictions which daily and hourly are given birth to, in anxious Venezuela, A revolution has taken place during the last year, which has convulsed the nation and shaken her to the very centre; her beuds of amity abroad have been weakened, her con denge at home gone. Another has been gone through in the political world. The old familiar sounds aud Dames of “oligarchy”? and “IIberai”’ belong to the past, and their chatm in lost, while the newer ones of “etvit” and “military,” have usurped their places. I do not mean to say that the obligarchists have become of the civil party, and the liberals of the military; they are ofa ct and different origin, and owe their forma- tion, I presume, to the belief that Jose Gregorio Mo- nagas, the brother of the President, would receive the nomination for the Presidency. He being a General of the army, and thove opposed to his brother think- ing there would be a military government formed in the event of his acne orgasined themselves isto an opposition party, 'ycleped ‘civil.’ Ly for reatut Monogas. aud, of course, in favor of hie brother regorio, tcok, or rather are given the name of “mili- tary.” Thus, then, wags the world along. Now, fearing they would really have @ military government, Gre- fozis Monagas, who, by the by, ls « mau of immensely talent than his brother, the President, has been withdrawn from the contest, and Guzman. the present Vice-President, substituted in bis stead. He isa tizan of Monagas, senier, and was pardoned by when condemned to be shot, by one of the last acts of the former administration, Gusman is a man of un- questionable tact and some talent; T would rather, however, vouch for the extent of the former, than the depth of the latter, He hiss run from small boginalnge to the second, and the prospect ot the first post in republic.

He is unquestionably the most distinguished Senator {im Congress, and though young, has both the capacity and verve to fill well the chair of the Presidency. Ka- ther a difficult post I should say is that of belmsman to a veasel that will not obey her tiller, and one, too, that in spite of the skilful guidance that endeavors to diroet her eourse, will still be the sport of the winds and waves of party policy, individual ambition, and paltry demagoguelam. | Well, there js in ail this a mo- ral, and a striking exampic; I might have called it » warning—to other and now happier republics—aud though I use tl 1, the singular was intended. will oply say ‘ Indocti discant, et ament meminisse periti.”” Many throughout the country imagine that Gen.
