Colombia.--We have received particular information with regard to the state of things in the republic of Colombia, which confirms the worst fears we could have entertained, of the effect of the animosities between Bolivar and the party of Santander. The liberator will be dictator in form, by means of the army, and of civil agents, instigated by himself to endeavor to invest him with absolute power. We cannot believe, however, that the military usurpation will be ultimately successful in a country throughout which the principles of government have been so long taught, and partly enjoyed.
