It was known the other day that the _ ady in question would exhibit her performances at he Hippodrome, aud crowds ef the lious of Paria f both sexes were eesembled to witness her per- mance. She appeared as usual, radiant and fear. mouated on an Arab charger, gift of the a of Damascus, her costume firmore dazzling han that of the ladies of the Hippodrome, aguiuast thom she condesceaded to try her taleat. She med tu accept of the least advantage, but tarted in the steeplechase, sbering the chance ith her professionui competitors. The race was t, the first course decided!y in fevor of our fair ountess, the second left no doubt of her triumph ; hen, alas! just at the conclusion of the third, the rabian, unaccustomed to run ina circle like that in which he was contiued, apparently grew giddy id. fell, throwing the lady right over the datus- rades into the arms of a spectator more terrified han henored by the distinction.

I have received your letter of last month, ex- pressing your approbation of my public political conduct, and especially of my efforts in Congress, to setile questions, which have long tated the country end disturbed its peace. Happily, gentle- men, those questions are now, I trust, disposed of, and better enact open upon the country.

The interests of the different parts of the couatry though various, are not opposite; flowing indeed in divers channels, but all contributing to swell the great tide of national prosperity. Under the operation of the constitution, we have new been for sixty years, free and happy; civil and religious liberty have stood firm and unshaken ; popular edu- cation has received a new impulee anda wider spread; and mora! and religious instruction has been characteristic of our age ; agriculture, com- merce and manufactures, have been stea: en- coursged and sustained; and under tbe bless- ing of Providence, general competency and sa- tisfactory means of living, have everywhere rewarded the efforts of labor and industry ; and in the meantime, gentlemen, the country has attained to euch a degree of honor and renown, that every patriotic man, in addition to his own individual means of enjoyment, derives a positive pleasure from participating in the reputatioa of his country, Of what other CE upon earth can this be said of eo mueh truth 7 ho, then, would un ‘ine this Union? Who would raise his hand against this constitution? Who would scoff at those poli- tical and social blessings, which Providence has never before seen fit to vouchsafe, in such abun- dance, te any community of men? Self-love, our hopes for the future, national pride, and gratitude to God, all conspire to prompt us to embraco these wn- stitutions of our native land with all the affections of our hearts, and to defend them with all the strength of our bands.

The moral coercion exercised by power, and the threats held out by certain electioneering ageats, have enervated the public spirit and kept away the citi- zens from the assemblies. It having become kaown that the voters of the towns of Los Altos did not wish to vote against their consciences, a captain of the guard of the President left for those parts, ac- companied by two soldiers, armed with linces and carbines, to frighten off the votera and secure a forced vote to enable General Monegis to hand over the command of the republic to his brother. The sons of the President have been going over the different parishes of this city during the elec- tion days, and taking men te vote for the electora who must nomunate the uacle to sucoved the fa- ther. The soldiers of the garrison have voted with different names in different parishes; some of them have been caught in the act, and others have suc- ceeded in performing their servile task. The as- sembly of “Catedral” sent one of those soldiers to prison for having offered to vote under another man’s name. t. Pacheco recognized another who was going up to vote in like manner, and made him desist from his criminal purpose. There have been many such 8.

Give him a welcome for what he has been, and give him your sympathy for what he is. He has left Venezuela, but not forever; and I will venture the assertion that another year will see him recalled. He is a nodle old man—one of “ nature’s noble- men.”’ Well and valiantly did he fight for the in- dependence of his country; and when it was gain- ed, he might have been seen resting calmly, Cincinatus-like, im the retirement of his hacienda, in Aragua, little dreaming that he would ever be called again to battle. But his sword and hia lance bung on his wall; and as the tocsin of Caracas tolled the alarm, his children brought him his armor—he buckled it on; and the old dictator, “the hero of a hundred battles,"” was ready fo the fight. Icare not what may be the political opinions of the man—ulira and ambitious they may be, and such J always thought them—but there are, thank heaven, feelings in us all that will sym pathise with a noble deed and a generous action. ’Twas a glorious sight to see that old civilian warrior, his head silvered with more than sixty winters, rush eager to the fight, with the blood of youth renewed, mantling to his brow. His views may have been wrong—his actions, politically seen, doubly so. But who thinks now of the political creed of those who battled for the liberties of Ame- rica? For the moment, his enemies may cry out against him; butthe kaliedoseope will sgt May his fortunes, too!

Mon: and his cruel persecu- tions in the face of these demonstrations of the most free and happy people onearth? They are utterly worthless; General Monagas, far from SEAR. as he has desired, his great antagonist, has only exalted him. In our last number of this paper we stated what opinion the Americans entertain of General José Antonio Paez. We now add that his expatriation has been providential, and that the days which he is parsing in a foreign land are, per- hapef the greatest of his life. [n fact, General Paer must never have experienced emotions more consoling then when he was greeted by the authorities and the airy of the most powerful nation in the world, in the bighly honorable man nerin which he has been received.

I take the liberty to write you the followiag lines, which—if they can find any room ia your valuable paper—will be very useful to the directors of steam navigation upon the river Oronoco. 1 do not know the directors of this enterprise, but I rely on you to make known to them the opinion I le that were presented to | have formed on the connexion which existe be- | Johm tween the gold mines recently discovered in this country, with the interests of these directors.

The sending out of the above mentioned sample, how- ever, has been delay ed for some time back, in order that the United States might have the start in this undertaking; for the clutches of John Bull are ob- jects of no small fear here, as it is by no means un- certain that he would not, before long, seek to be- come master of beth rivers and country. It would, | moreover, be a matter of considerable inconveni- ence to the North Americans, masters as they al- ready are of the navigation of the Oronoco, to have such unpleasant feliow-workmeaas the whose earnest desire has loug since been to poesession of the Oronoco; its colonies in the long time ules ba for back, yielded them nothing. see, too, the immense tract of country of which they would Become masters in South Ameries, were they orly in this river, which, by means of Xs branches, holds umme diate communication wita two of the greatest end most industrious repubbica, viz: Venezuela and New Granada.

Tournament at the H jenot Springs, Va. | ¥rem the Richmoud Whig, Seps. 28. We enjoyed, on Thursday, an excursion to the Huguenot Springs, on the occasion of the tourme- » Where we saw so much to interest us im the sports of the day, that we deent it net inappropriate to give the readers of the Whig a brief sketch of on ee edings. The day was exceedingly sultry, and a Septens- ber sun which poured its rays fiercely on the field of action, would have proved overpowering to the knights, but for the agreeable shade afforded by the fine trees, that surrounded the hotel buildings in every direction. By 12 o'clock, large numbers of the fair ladies of the neighboring counties had assembled on the spot, and, together with some charming guests of the hotel, preseated a bright arrey of beauty and grace. The knights now ap- peared in costume, mounted on fine chargers, under the commend of James M. Morson. Esq; chief marshal, whose appearance, we may be. permitted to say, on a magnuiticent horse of the true Arabian breed, attracted very general attea- tion. Mr. Morson was attended by the following aesistant marshals, whose fine bearing was alee generally remerked:—Dr. Wood, Richard Gilliam, and John F. Lay, of Goochland, Dr. Ball, and J. D. Lyle, of Chesterfield. Having been drawn up n line, in front of the hotel, the visiters being con- gregated together upon the portico above, they re- ceived the ‘towing very happily conceived and appropriate charge from Mr. Jno. RK. Thompeea, the wident of the day, who delivered it with much grace and animation:— Sin Knignts:—When the great phil hical statesman of England, in lamenting the fate ef Maria Antoinette, declared that “the age ef chivalry had gece forever,” he gave utterance te 8 sentiment that is but purtially true. Chivalry, as an institution of pokes belongs, indeed, to the an and it is well it should be so. The plumes ave faded, and the armor has rusted, that oace tossed ard glistened on the stalworth person of the gallant knight-erraut, and we all recollect, as among the earliest reading of our boyhood, the whimsical picture of the Don and his squire, Boing forth in quest of adventure, and challenging opporers to mortal combat. The satire was, per- hops,-well deserved; but, Sir Knights, the age of chivalry, in one sense, has not gone. [ts spirit still survives in the breaste of our youas mea. They are not called upon to do any of the ridicu- lous things that Cervantes satirized, but, in nobler and more essential qualities of | jivalrie excel- lence, they ere knights still. And i not well that in this age of cold utilitarianis merce is king, we should keep | spirit of this forgotten instituti | aside, now and then, frou | daily avecations, to contend in manly pastimes for | the smiles of the fair? Here, too, upon the soil of | Virginia, which is not yet given up wholly to the spirit of trade, should we not strive to preserve the better elements of chivalry, while its follies are consigned to forgetfulness? You are assembled to-day, Sir Knights, for one of the manly sports ef the field. Kecollect what it was that constituted the perfect knight of the days of ehivairy. Re collect that he was to be sans peur et sans reproche. Recollect that he scornéd an unfair advaniage ver an adversary as he would flying from field. Recollect that gentleness and courtesy softened, and lent a crowning grace to the sternee qualities of his nature. Recollect, too, that, of ald his characteristica, devotion to the fair was the most prominent and enduring. But, Sir Kaights, ou need no such charge as this. I see in your nightly beering, and proud port, that you are sealy for the contest before you in the true spirit of chivalry, and assuredly you are animated by the consciousness that your feats wiil be aa bright eyes, and your applauses giv hands as ever watched the progress ot or waved a kerchief to the fortunate victor. Y will each forth with the hope of wining © smile from your ladyelove. In the name of t bright beings that surround me, I bid you to the eld.
