Arrival of the North Star.

over one million in treasure — success of the revolution in New Grenada



New York, Aug. 23.
--The steamer North Star has arrived from Aspinwall in safety, with $1,176,000 in treasure, from California.

On her outward passage the North Star discovered the British war-steamer Driver ashore on Miragoane roof, and offered to tow her off, but found she had bliged, and that nearly everything had been taken out of her. Her crew occupied tents on shore.

The North Star passed the steamer Northern on the 18th, and the Champion on the 22d.

A boat from ‘"Driver"’ boarded the Northern Star on her return trip and reported that the U. S. Corvette Richmond passed there on the 18th.

Advices from New Grenada state that Gen. Mosquera had taken Bogota and routed the Government forces and proclaimed himself provisional President of New Grenada.--Generals Espina, Pocada, Paris, and various officials, were taken prisoners. The President and Cabinet had fled.
