" And for the fulfilment of what shall be contracted, agreed, and stipulated, by his Excellency, the said Minister Plenipoten tiary, Francisco Antonio Zsa, relating to the said Loan, I pro mise and bind myself, as President of the Republic of Colombia, specially authorised by the.

" Gemini a'—'The Proclamation issued by theVice-President of the Republic of Colombia, dated Bogota, the Ist June, to which you have drawn my attention, has not reached me through any authorised channel; but Isee no reasoq to doubt its authen ticity. I attribute this Proclamation, in fact, to very earnest representations which I have urged upon the Government on the necessity of preventing, in future, its powers from being ap plied to purposes not within their due scope, and sub-delegated to other persons not contemplated by the Government. a In reference to the Loan negotiated with you at Paris, in March last, I can only refer you to the power deposited in your bands, signed by the Executive Authority, most complete in Its form and tenor, and which has never been revoked In the slightest degree. directly or indirectly. " Ln unbolt with the power itself, the instructions with whisk I ant furnished specially direct me to raise a Leen in Europe whenever it should be practicable, and on conditions which have not been exceeded in my engagement with you. " No advice has yet reached me of my dispabeites which an nounced the Contract for the Loan baying arrived as Bogota. " Having in no respect exceeded the powers granted to me by the Government of Colombia, I have only to add, that the Government will be found faithful in all respects to the-engage- Ments I have entered into in its behalf. 4, I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, " Your most obedient bumble servants (Signed) " P.

' The French Papers of Sunday contain the most contradictory accounts from the Spanish frontier.— They agree on one point, that an important engage ment had taken.place between the Constitutionalists and the Insurgents, but the result is very differently stated. The Quotidienne and the other French Ultra Journals represent the Insurgents as victorious ; the evidence, however, inclines towards a very contrary decision. The following details, from the Journal de Paris, given in a letter dated Bayonne, October 15, seem upon the whole the most consistent : " A traveller, just arrived from Iran, announces as certain that a decisive affair took place on the 6th inst. at Castelfollit, between General Mina and Baron D'Eroles. The Insurgents, it is said, have lost 2000 men as prisoners; the , amount of the killed and wounded is not mentioned, but it appears to be very considerable. This news was brought by express to Pampeluna, and published by the Authorities there. There were illuminations on the occasion. " We expect every moment fresh details on the affair which took place at Berasuain. According to the account of the Spanish muleteers who came by that road, the Insurgents left 400 dead on the field of battle, and 200 prisoners were conveyed to Pam peluna. The greatest disorder was in their ranks, and they took refuge in Irati. It is asserted that a serious attack will soon be made on this fortress. It is added, that Zaldivar was completely beaten and his band entirely dispersed between Villa Martin and Monta lano, in the province of Xeres, by two companies of the Regiment of St. Jago and the Local National Guard. Pie had 20 men killed and 27 wounded ; and -except himself and a dozen followers, all the rest of his troop surrendered at discretion." The same Paper contains the following paragraph: " The rumours in circulation yesterday on 'Change , respecting tie defeat of the Army of the Faith appear to be confirmed this day. The Regency of Urgel has been forced to take refuge, as it is said, in France— and the troops which escorted it have been pursued sword in hand up to our frontiers. In a few days we shall probably have exact details of these oc. currences." Accounts (min Puycerda announce, that a move ment of insubordination had broken out in the troop of the Rcyalist Chief, Moszx ANTON, at the moment whets he was evacuating that place. His men re fused to be taken to Urgel, fearing lest they should be shut up within the fort of that town. After a day or two spent in indecision, they seem to have ob tained their object, and to have been marched back to Puycerda. The following are extracts: - PARIS, OCTOBER 10. The Madrid Journals of the 7th have arrived, and contain the following information : " The King has sent 32,000 real: veillon to the Municipality, to dry the tears of the unhappy rela tives of those who sacrificed their lives for their counayl with so much glory on that fortunate and memorable day, July 7.—These are the King's own words. " General Martinez Saint Martin, ex-political Chief of Madrid, after having received an order to repair to the island of Majorca, was arrested at Madrid on the 4th, and closely confined (au secret) in the town prison. According to the depositions of the Officers' arrested at the time, he is said to be compromised in the affair of July 7. It is added that several eminent persons, among whom are Members of the two last Ministries, are also arrested as accomplices. The matter is too serious to allow of conjectures in place of fact, it seems more prudent to wait." DARMSTADT, OCTOBER,IS. Counsellor Hoffman, who has undertaken with the most praiseworthy and disinterested zeal to serve the cause of the Cheeks, has just left this town to go to Marseilles. He intends to superintend there a new, • expedition, and the embarkation dr a corps of young German warriors, well armed and equipped„wka are ( about to repair to 'Pelciponnesni. They tali!: with them two pieces of artillery. During the absence of Connsellornoffman his office remains open, at Darmstadt, to receive the coatribu• tions of individuals for the Greeks. The number of young people who have presented themselves to ram as volunteers already exceeds 10,000, but the rules as to the admission of individuals are very strict, :ad require, over and above the physical qualities requi site for Military service, satisfactory attestations as 10 morality and good conduct. Several persons, with whom they had not reason to be satisfied, have been already dismissed from the corps. The money sub. scriptions received by Mr. Hoffman amount, at this moment, to 30,000 florins. CORFU. sErnaisEtt Letters from Hydra that (# the wretched fugi ' tives from Cyprus, who have just arrived here; give the most deplorable picture of the horrors which are committed there. They think that Cyprus will ex• perience the fate of the Island of Scio." FRANKFORT, OCTOBER it. Austrian and .Spinish securities are still on the rise, the demand continues on our Exchange. Jewish houses have made immense fortunes. In general it has been observed, that the Israelitish houses have constantly speculated for a rise, while many Chris tian houses labour in the contrary direction. How ever, it is thought natural here that the Spanish Go vernment has latterly preferred, for the negociation of the last Loan, Bankers at Paris, whose constitu tional opinions are known, tole house otherwise very respectable, which does not offer similar guarantees•; the Cortes would, perhaps, have also seen with some uneasiness, a part of the public fortune, or at least a great influence :on national credit, granted to the Banking-house of the Holy Alliance. This forenoon we received a German Mail, with' , Papers to the 15th inst. An article from Bucharest, dated the 21st of September, says, that Lord STRANG FORD, who had passed through that city on his way to Vienna, was much surprised to find Turkish troops still in Wallachia, and that he remonstrated with KIAJA Batt on the subject. It is added, however, that preparations were making for evacuating the Principalities. The following are the only articles worth extracting: BERLIN, OCTOBER 10. On the Ist of this month, the Professors of the fa culty of Evangelical Divinity, and a certain number of Clergymen of both the Lutheran and Reformed Churches, met in a Synod at Breslau, as Representa tives of the whole Protestant Clergy of Silistria, in order to compare the doctrines of the two Churches, and by this means remove the obstacles that oppose . their union. SWITZERLAND, OCTOBER 12. The King of Prussia arrived on the 6th at Lau sanne, but observed the strictest incognito. He de clined to receive the Deputations of the Government, as he had also declined to do at Basle and Soleure ; he admitted only General Laharpe. A Deputation from Berne, which had also net been received when the King passed through part of that Canton, followed the King to Neuchtal, _where they were admitted to pay their respects. The King crossed the Simplon on the sth, to go to Italy, having first visited some of the environs of Lausanne. The report that Switzer land would send an Embassy to the Congress, does not appear to be confirmed. Vilna, Oct. 7.—ffictotll4iss 83 15-16—Bank Stock 880 3.5. Oct. 8.-1 83 15.16—Bank Stock 878 2-3. At a late hour this forenoon we received a Ham burgh Mail. An article from Frankfort mentions a report that the Hanoverian Government, following the example of the States of the new world as well as the old, has raised a loan of two millions of florins. A good deal of business appears to be doing at the Leipsic fair, though there are few Greek merchants there: a considerable quantity of wool has been ex ported to this country. The book trade is indifferent. I i These Papers contain an account of the proceed ings of the Storthing at Christiana, but they are of little interest. The King of SWEDEN announced that his son would return by the end of the month, and that in a few days he should make a communication relative to him which ,would be' agreeable to the Storthing. _ _ Ilaanolbasi % Oer. 15.—Exchange on London, 36 10e. 37 I}.

' t here are within the Path many large preserves f or game, and pheasant. in abundance. The KING has a few times indalged himself with his pony and his gun, Mid has on these occasions proved himself an ad 'aiiratile shot. As we stated on a former occasion, his MAJESTY never intended going to Brighton earlier than the first week in November, although he will.retittii tb Carlton House to-morrow. A few days ego-a paragraph appeared in some of the papea, stating in substance that the Coronation Committee were about to exercise their powers in favour of 1 second invitation to the KING, to dine at Guildhalls Very much to the regret of some of the Committee, this statement is not the fact. It is true the Committee met on Friday 41 to consider of the best mode to be adopted to express the congratula tion and respect of the Court of onylion Council to his Nieuwe upon his Coronation, and to consider whether any proceeding should he takers .by the Com. mittee, or Report made prior to Lord •Mayor's Day.' There were 17 or 18 Members present, and Sir JAMES SHAW was unanimously called to the Chair. Mr. FA YELL, without asking what propo,ition was to be made, stated, that in his opinion the Cinnmitter were not competent to take any steps whatever, a s their powers ceased after the invitation had been given to his Majesty, and could not be revived until the King should be graciously pleased to announce his intention. of conferring the. distinguished honour on his faithful subjects in the City. As icon as that should happen, the Committee would have full autho rity to act, and he for one should prove his zeal and loyalty by using every effort to contribute to the en thusiastic reception of his Majesty. Mr. DIXON thought that no opportunity ought to be lost of manifesting the warmth of the City's at tachment to the Royal Person, and suggested that a Sub-Committee might be appointed, whose business it would be to ascertain what the intention of his Ma jesty was with respect to the spleedid favour they had in expectation. • Mr. Huttoostat condemned ley proposition that bad the appearance of want of tpenness. With re gard to. the expected honoues OA man could appre ciate more highly a visit from the Sovereign than he; but the City of London'had gone as far as they could go consistently with their dignity. His Nlajest) had visited Ireland, and Scotland, and Hanover, since his Coronation, and was pleased to excuse himself frcm doing a simper honour to the Corporation of London. Flow, then, could the invitation be repeated ? Alderman WAITHMAN observed, that it was quite conclusive from the Journals, That the Committee had no such power as some Gentlemen supposed, and that the dignity of the Corporation was, he hoped, inca pable of being diminished. In the midst of the discussion, Alderman HivoArz entered the Committee Room, and having said that he understood the Committee wished for his presence, stated, without hesi cation, the measures he had thought proper to adopt on the subject of the invitation given to his Majesty. As Mr. Peel had been appointed to the situation he now held subsequently to the invita tion, and could not be supposed to be in possession of the fact, he (Alderman Heygate) considered it due to that Gentleman, to inclose to him the Resolutions of the Court of Common Council upon the subject, and to request the Secretary would ascertain whether his Majesty intended to confer the hoped-for honour on the City. He trusted that he should not be 'con sidered as having exceeded his duty in sending a pri vate communication to the Secretary upon the ques tion on which all were so anxious, and declared that he had nothing in view but the honour and interests of his fellow-citizens. The answer to his letter was to the effect, that his Majesty had given no commands upon the subject. He (Alderman Ileygate) com pletely agreed with those Gentlemen who were of opinion that the City of London could proceed no fur ther in this matter; and there was nothing strong enough to induce him to compromise the dignity of the Corporation. Alderman WAITHSIAN made every allowance for the zeal of a worthy Alderman just about to fill a very high and responsible situation, but repeated that the Court of Common Council alone had the power to act. After some further discussion, it was deter mined that the Committee had no power whatever. Indeed, so firmly convinced were all the Members before they separated of that fact, that they agreed to maintain a resolute silence on the subject of their proceedings. TAB ARMY.
