Letters were received yes...
Letters were reccived yesterday from Carthagena, dated the 22d of May. General SOURLETTE had arrived there to take upon himself the office of Intendant of the Depart- ment of the Magdalena. The report, therefore, of his having been appointed on a mission to this country is un- true. Letters from the PaESIDENT himself had been re- ceived at Carthagena, dated subsequently to the treachery of the troops in Callao, in which, with his characteristic ardour, he still augurs favourably of his ultimata pros)ects in Peru.. He had witten for fresh suipplies of troops, axrms, and amnmunition, to furnish which great exertions -were making at Carthagena, and a frigate so freighted w. as to sail immediately for Chagres. The communications from Bogota, the capital of Colombia, to the coast, were like; Iy to be reudered more xpeditiQus, it having been discov.ered Bbr2e . .A that the river Meta, which falls into the Apure, was n&- vigable to within a. few miles of that city. Coramercial prospects were improving, at Carthagena, in consequence of the known solicitude of the Government at Bogota to protect and favour the merchants, particularly those of Great Britain.
