One of the Venezuelan gentlemen who arrived io the game veeael with Geceral Lopez, has sent us the foilowiag account of the condition of Venezucia:— The aspect of the country is at present very gloomy, for tbe revolution appears to be ove of color or of race. Taat tendency is, bowever, masked by the different factions that rise in the republic under the victors of Zamora and Falcon; and under theee names they baye committed, and are committing, all eorts of crimes, robveries, incendiar. ism, murders, rapes, &c.,50 that the government is al. realy co powerless against (hem that it temporizes with then), and leaves iteeif open to the cbarge of belog more a partican of theirs tan the protector of the people} who ced ib in power. Puerto Cabello a8 suffered from one of these factions, headed by the negro General Guebara, and sastained by the brothers Juan, Lermet, and Cadet Laroche and Colonel Domingo Diaz. It bas for the propagators of its infernal doctrines one Revert Syers, one Cornell, and otbers, ail men who, without any meritof their own, have succeeded io elevating themscives by incutcating to the negroes communism and iis kiadred theories.

However, I wae led from my prison under a strong guard, beaded by the City Mayor and Captain of the prison, and conveygd to the Captain of the Port, where I was delivered to personage and the secretary of the Governor of Cailao, and immediately embarked on board of the P.S.N. Company’s steamer Valparaiso, Captain Bloomfield, where I was detained as a prisomer by the aforesaid Captain of the Port, during the time that the steamer laid ip port before starting on hor voyage. ‘My first information of release was on Sunday morning, June 12, #bout two hours before I was ordered Wo leave my desolate place of wbode during the last two and-a balf years, and to verify the trial of Gil Bias; as I have before Stated, on this eventful day, like that famed personage, I had to pass through the same ceremony of being stripped and plundered by the prison officials. The little clothing that] bad was dragged from me by the banilits under va- rious pretences, and when I complained to the officials the only satisfaction that I received was to hear a general or- der given in my presence, that all who had any claims on me must éatiefy themselves on my person or property, as I was about leaving the prison that evening. The cor- persis were given precise and particular instructions not to interfere in any way. Thur was I put at the merciful disposal of the baudite; nevertheless, nothing further hap- pened me but the sacking aod stripping me of the few clothes that I bad, and thus, Gil Bias like, I was set adrift in rags. The day of my release end transmigration from my cell to the decks of Her Gritauic Majesty's mail steamer Val. garaico, I was neither allowed to speak to nor see any per- son, nor yot was I permitted to stop at say place betwesa my prison and the Captain of the Port’a boat, he accom. pavyipg me to the steamer acd delivering mg ticket to e puter of the ship, and remaining on voird until the teamer started, which was about veo mivutee after my arrival on bosrd.

At guch a terrible mo- ment It ig the sacred duty of the government to address iteelf to the nation, and to make tho nation hear the voice of ita dearest rights and interests, not only because it will thus assimilate pudiic opinion more aud mors in tae proper feeiing, bat because also the people will thus ap- preciate better the cause of the great sacrifices which they are making to combat their oppreeeore; and because, in fine, the government will thus eucceed in. making all the civilized nations of the earth see clearly what is the real a of this strife which so shamefully shakes the re- ublic. Pula to day faldiling this duty, the government has pothing to eay in reepect to its Sentiments on the political organi- zation of the country, because being itself an emanation of the constitution of 1857, and consiaering itecif also as the legitimate repreeenjative of the liberal principles therein incorporated, it follows naturally that its aspirations should be directed to thie, that all citizens, without Gistinction of clase, may enjoy whatever rights and guarantees are compatibie with the good order of socicty— that these may be made effective for the good adminiatra- ton of justice, thatall the authorities may faithfully fultl their duties and attributes, without ever exceeding tho bounds prescribed by the laws, and finally, that the States of the confederacy may uee their powers to administer freely their interests, a8 well as to promote everything conducive to their prosperity, so log as that is not op- poged to the general rights and interosts of the republic, But inasmuch as there princip!os, notwithstanding their baying been iucorporated, with more or loss minuteuess, in the different political codes which the country bas had ince ig independence, and finaily im the constitut@n of 1857, bave bo} been prectically carried into effect in the pation, and cannot be, eo long as, in its mode of social and administrative existence, the various elements of despot- ism, hypocnsy, immorality and disorder are maintained, the government beileves that without separating itself es: sentially from the constitutive principles it is its duiy to cecupy itself very teriourly in causing those elements to disappear, being well convinced already by its extended experiepce of what has occurred up to this time that so Jong as they exist there is no order or liberty possibis. To make, therefore, both order aad liberty elleotive, by giving unity to the sentiment of social reform, by means which way produce the solid and complete triamph of good principics, the government proposes the following measures:— In tne firet place, far the purpose of putting a detinite end to that ranguinary fratricidal war which ono portion. of the clergy hus been fomenting for ome time past, for the sake solely of coneerving the interests aad preroga- tivea which they Inherited from the colonial system, by tbe scandaious abuee of the influence given by the wealth which they own, and by the exercise of their sacred mi- histry, the gov epi Delicves it Indispensable to dis- urm at once this class of the elements which serve to sopport this gloomy rule.

Un¥'t this innovation bo realized and tho provisions prowulged, the government proposes to enact, without Gelv.y, those mowsures which It may deem’ right to mrcke efleolive the primary guarantees of the citizens, and Yo eradicate tho errors and abuses which are opposed to the free circulation of the public wealth, Jn reepart to having justice wlministored gratuitously, the covbiitutioa of 1467 has established that principle as a fondumental precept; but that thal precept may pro- duce the geo effects proposed by tho Legisiature, it is lndispousabiy aa the paywmgmig of thq salaries : product of ent for the a OY , be- erity aud growth of the if on exigency of the clyill- of! the magistrates, judges and employds of the judi- ciary may be pus made.

To co this, it believes it te svflicient to observe faithfully the treaties con- tracted with such pations ana the general principlos of national and inter national law, abd, above ali, to abandow forever, as tt bus done up to this time, that evasive and dilatory system whicb, to the grave locs of the pation, bas been frequently pursued in the manage ment of sfisire of that kiud ; attending with ail deepatch to reclamation presented, and deciding the question without delay. duly im yi of the circametances of the case, according to tho principles of ritht, Justice and mutual conveulence, which form the solid busis of relations of fmendship between the civilized peoples of the world, The government also believes that it will be very de- siruble to Ox clearly, by a general law, couformably with the rules and practices 10 other countrics, tho intervention which foreign consuls snd vice consuls may make in the republic in regard to matters of their owa countrymen reepectively, a& in their relations witb the anthorities, thos avoiding the repetition of questions waich have arisen more than once on that point, In regard to the appointment of legations in foreign countries with which we hold friendly relations, the go- verpment believes that the present condition of such reia- tions with said countries is very far from requiring a resi- dent minister tn each of them, and ite opinion ig that for the present such resident mivisters should be limited to two—ono in the United States of america, aud the other in Europe—the latter fixing his residence In Paris or Lon- don, from whence ke would be able to proceed in case of necessity to the point which mibgt-be designated for bim. In the othor capitals of Europe and Amorics, £0 Jorg a8 no matter occurs whi¢h by ita gravity demands the presence of a Minisier ‘Pienipotontinry, it will suflice to bave Consuls General with the character of Chargés d’ Affaire. These en. ‘accordingiio the new law, whiah oveht to be published, must be born in the republic. Concerning the National Treesary, the opinion of the goveroment ia that there should be very radical refoems ipstinted—not alone to establieh a. system of imporws which may nos be an obstacle to tho developemant of proeperity, and which may destroy the grave errors that the coionial rule le!t us—but to pata definitive end 0 tho bankruptcy that bas been jotroduced in ail branches of tho public administration, nudabove all, to create great interests that are identified with eoctal reform, by aiding efiicaciously in the liberal and progressive course of the nation, In the frst place, there ought to be abolished forever the acabeles, the counier registers, und any general im- posts that’ are imposed in the interior of the Tepubdlic vpon the movement of wealth per fons, and the means of traasport which carry both, because such imposta.aro in every polatof view at Variance with the prosparity of the repodlic. In the Some way, even Without all. its fatal consaquentes, tho tax upon the transfer of zoal estate ought % be entirely abolished. ‘The tax of three per cent upor gold and ailver extract- ed from the mines, and that of one real per marco, aro inopocis really vinjuat and odious in their foundatioa, be. Gauge they do not fall voon the profits of the miners, bu, upon the raw product of the mines, which most frequent- ly represents only & smal! pertof the Capital which is employed im these works before reaching the ore, For this reason, and because really those tmposte are in open ccntradictic n to the protection which. in the present state ‘of the rept iblic should be given by the government to that clesw of industry, tho present administration believes that they should ba 86 reformed that epeculators in min- ing oper’ tions should not bave to pay any tax until they begin te, recetye profits from them, and with that object there ‘should bo adopted as a fixed and iuvariabio basis the pit in of taxing only the dividcnds or shares of profits that e re made. ‘Wi th regardto forsign Bol ed todo whatever be! rameroe the government Is re- ga to is in advancing the do- cnt of that elemensot wealth and prosperity {n the Tey ublic, whether ia simplifying the requirements of the ©x isting laws or in altering their present rates of taxation. Ore of the mossurea which it designs and proposes to 9 clate is to establish on the coasts of tho Gulf and the ‘vache certain ports of deposit, with the power of re- © whenever it suils thoee inte. ia all countries where there aro exporting mercher Tested, a8 18 practised porte of that kind. Tke different laws which up to thie time have been ed upon tue classification of revenues, to designate tucae which belong to the States and the general govern- ment, bave the defect of uct placing that separation upon a certain Lasia, and this has given rise to queetions and auroyances which ought to be avoided between the con trai authority and those of the States. For these reasone, end for the purpoge of fixing upon a principle of justice and convenlense the perfec: separation of tna revenue of ihe States and that of the cevtral governmont, the go- vernment believes that there should be adopted ag an invariable bare tne data that ali dir i8 upon persons, properties, eetablishmen's trade and induetry, profeesions, &s., belong to tke Siates, and the indirect imporis to the generat govern ment. The fundamental reason for this separation cannot bo more clear and perceptible, because it is founded on principle that the supreme government alone wa‘ches the expenses rod obligations of the nation, and, therefore, has the right o| cvilectiog imposts which fall upeo all fis inhabitants generally, while the costs and ob- bgations of the States only weigh upon thelr respective tories. Besides that :eason there are many others rs ‘al convenience, which, doubiless, every one who examines the question Will comprehend for himasif, And it in alao casy wo comprehend that, by adopting this idea, » States wl!l really kee themeelyes free from the power central government in the matter of resourcos, ‘b is the basia of liberty in allthe oiner branches of in internal administr By adopting this system 9 Will be no Obligition on the part of the State to con. tribute ite revenues towards the expenses of the general government, One of the greatest evils which the treasury of the ne tion puffers in consequence of the laws of tho Span. government during the colonial régime, and of the disorder with which jt has been iotteriy rbused, is that multitude of persionere of the civil and military branches who live upon the treasury. The point to which this evil is pro- grersing, and the pernicious consequeaces which it is pro- ducing al every step require a prompt romody, and thero 1 D6 nO other remedy shan to capitalise at poe o which, whether iil or well acquired, oxvnot be ig- ed £0 lopg as they have been deciared conformable to ue Jawa and by the competent authorities. Tho govers. ni¢nt therefore proposes to proceed without dolay not ovly to the capitalization of the duca of such pensioners gexist in the civil and military brancues, but also of re of the employés who may be fupernumer aries in consequence of thé new regulatious which may be tnade in the offices of both branches, and even of the rights of thoge who have been appointed previous to the new regu Pernumerary officiais whose righia aut expectations form. ed those giflicuitics.

These d ficulties principally consist in the want of immediate aod lucraiive occupation for the’new coicuista, in the little security afforded in the rural districts, on our roads and in our very towns.
