Buenos Ayres is still in a very pitiable condition. Lavalle
and his party are completely hemmed in by the armies of Santa Fig and the Montoneros. The quarrel with the French commander is made up, and the vessels that had been seized are restored.
Colombia, by the last advices, is comparatively speaking quiet. The machinations of Santander have been effectually put down. He has been sent to Porto Cabello, to his old enemy Paez. Mr. Miller, an Englishman who had been charged at Carthagena with alloying gold, and condemned to death in consequence,has been pardoned by Bolivar, at the instance of Mr. Wall the British consul.
