CURRACOA PAPERS.

We have Curracoa papers to the 31st of January inclusive. Their contents, for the most part, are not interesting as the news from the Colombian Republic has mostly been anticipated. Accounts from the Liberator, Bolivar, at Lima, are to the 25th of September. They had been much confusion among the patriots, and a revolution in the government; but Bolivar had done much to allay the turbulence of faction, and it was confidently believed he would restore good order and harmony. The royalists were yet in some force in the interior, though there were rumors of some partial success against them, which if true, it would compel Canterac to follow the example of Morales. The Peruvian Congress has confided the salvation of its republic to the Liberator, with all the unlimited faculties which must necessarily be exercised, in order to fulfil this important and glorious trust. The Liberator on presenting himself in the hall of congress, amidst millions of acclamations of joy, confidence and gratitude, pledged himself to make the greatest efforts to realize the wishes of his heart and congress. This body assigned him 50,000 dollars salary during his continuance in Peru; decreeing at the same time the payment thereof in preference to every other claim but the magnanimous Bolivar modestly refused this provision, stating that he was sufficiently provided for by the salary granted him by the laws of Colombia. A splendid banquet was given in honor of him on the same day by the government.
