Whereas it has come to the knowledge of the Republic of Colombia, that certain individuals resident in Europe assume to themselves the title of agents of the said Republic, and, under that imposture, contract obligations in its name, which in some measure compromise the honour and public faith of the State; in order that such persons as are not informed of the defective autho rity with which the before-mentioned agents have acted, or are acting, and being - desirous to prevent the recurrence of such scan t? .lous abuses, and to save from all kind of embarrassment those who without due intimation might be imposed upon to the pre judice of the interests of the Republic, and also of their own, the Governing Council, having deliberated, has resolved to de clare, and it is hereby declared as follows: I.

TORFICI.I In consequence of the Colombian Document which appeared in the Papers this mottling, a general panic took place in the Colombian Bonds, and the result was a fall of 4 per cent. in the above Stock; neverth,less, it is thought as certain, by the first Brokers on 'Change, who have been to examine the Colombian Contt act, at Messrs. Pueerts', that it is a bortnfide good one, and the signature is undoubtedly that of Ihravait. It is also aster tattled that the Colombian Document must have been published t. re the abor. Government knew of the Loan being con tractcd for In London ; al:d it is still further imagined, that the whole is a maw:turn: to deixeciate the Colombian Stock, of which it 11, supposed that in a day or two great advantage will Uc taken by persons who will buy it up. Very little business has been done in the market up to this hour; and all foreign securities are rather heavy.

The panic still continues in Colombian Bonds, and they have fallen to 91; and New Spanish Bonds are also dull, at 74, for the end of the Month. A set of desperate speculators are taking advantage of the present panic in Cotombidu Securities, and are selling in small quantities, with considerable publicity, while they are secretly purchasing larger quantities, at the reduced prices they have occasioned.

On the 18th, the KING, so far from being ill, as has been confidently reported, was well enough to transact business with NI.VILLEte, and afterwards to entertain at dinner I k e Duchess of BERRI. The VICAR-GENE RAL of Poitiers has contradicted the report of General BERTON having refused the aids of religion on the day of his execution : he states that he died as a Christian, and instead of treating the Ecclesiastics with indifference, shewed himself grateful for their attentions. He adds, that just before his ascending the scaffold, he became so feeble, and so pallid, that be could scarcely be recognized. These Papers con tain a report that General MINA had completely touted the forces of Baron d'EaoLLEs, who had taken refuge at Ax, in France,. with a very small number Officers of his Staff.

This forenoon we received intelligence from Bay onne to the 14th instant, one day later than our ar rivals of yesterday. They contain some further details of the movements of the Constitutional and Insurgent forces, but deny that MINA had gained a victory over the rebels at Berga, as had been reported. The accounts from Madrid are to the Bth. They state that the report of Colonel TABUENCA and other Offi cers, taken prisoners by the Royalists, haling been infamously shot by them, excited extreme indigna tion in the Capital ; groups of people assembled in the streets and wished to wreak their fury on the state prisoners in confinement there. " Death to the Serviles," cried some—" Let us kill them in the pri sons," exclaimed others, " since the Judges will not 'do justice !" A group of 100 persons, among whom some Communeros were observed, collected at the Puerta del Sol about eight in the evening, threaten ing to go to the state prison, while another more considerable body was hovering about. • The Autho rities, how ever, doubled the guard, and ordered the Commanding Officer to repel force by force. Patrols were ordered to disperse the groups, which they did, and tranquillity was restored. This was on the sth. On the . 6 di the Municipality issued a Proclamation, which had a very good effect. It called upon the true friends of liberty to be on their guard against perfidious intrigues tending to mislead some ardent and inconsiderate Patriots to the commis ion of ex cesses which would sully their noble c ;use. The Espectador of the 6th says, that the; e is reason to doubt the truth of the murder of Taßorsg.t aad the other Officers, as letters of a very recent date from Babastro do not mention it. General TORRIJOS, and not VILLACAMPA, is to SOC. ceeJ ESPINOSA. The Spanish Government had received very ener getic complaints from the Prov inces, especially Biscay, Navarre, Arragon, and Catalonia, respecting the ex cesses committed by the troops, which often treat the inhabitants as enemies. The Mini,ter of War has sent a circular letter to the Militat y Commanders, couched in stiong terms, to make them responsible for the excesses committed by their soldiers towards his Majesty's peaceable subjects. The Editor of the Journal, the Indicador, has been publicly attacked, and seriously wounded, by an Ac tor of the name of CA§ANovA, - whom he had offended by an article of theatrical criticism. General Vives, who is aprointed Governor of the Havannah, will have both the civil and military authority. The Government had determined to send the late Political Chief, SAN MARTIN, into exile to Majorca, to withdraw him from the fury of his implacable enemies ; but he has been arrested, and sent to the State prison. It is reported that the arrest of the Late Ministers is resolved on by the Martilleros, and that they may not escape from the capital, they are strictly watched, especially Messrs. MARTINEZ DE LA ROSA and PASIBLEY. The late news from the provinces of Catalonia, &c. have given great satisfaction, and dispelled the alarms that were before felt. Dutch Papers, to the 19th inst. reached us this forenoon, but their contents are of little importance. Accounts..from Batavia, to the 18th May, state, that the Government of the Dutch East India territories has resolved on a new issue of the paper currency to the amount of a million of India florins. The ac counts from the settlements in the island of Borneo were perfectly satisfactory. The cholera mot b:,s had not shewn itself at Pontiaank and Sambas since Ja nuary. The Governor-General had received an au-. tograph letter from his Majesty, expressing, in the most flattering terms, his satisfaction with the bravery of the land and naval force in the expedition against Palembang. A letter from Verona'says, that the Crown Prince of Austria, Prince Leopold of Naples, and the Arch duchess his consort, and the Duke of Calabria, are expected in that city.' An article from Turin, of the 10th October, states, that recent letters from the Morea say that the situa tion of the Greeks becomes daily worse, and that in a single action, near Napoli di Romania, they bad left 5,000 men in the field of battle. A Leeward Islands Mail has arrived with letters from St. Thomas's• to the ISth of September. The only topic of the least interest in them relates to the state of affairs on the Spanish Main, where General MORALES ) lately reported to have been killed, is de scribed as again in action, and planning a new ex pedition against the Columbian territory. After his defeat on the 11th of August, in the neighbourhood' of iir' formed _ , . - - 1 1 .05‘7 , t1r' . , - . , , . .., supposed, racoa, of trite 31st of August,seceiied at St. Thomas's, distinctly state that the views of the Spanish Com mander were directed against that place, and NI great amount of property deposited there for the traffic of the interior, belonging to foreign merchants, caused some apprehensions for the result to be entertained. There esisted, however, according to the best opinions, no ground for serious alarm, Maracaibo being thought l secure against attacks more formidable than that meditated by MORALES. BotivA it's return to Cit twos from the south was anxiously looked for, to whose personal energy it was believed Columbia must be indebted for the exclusion of the last rem nant of the Spanish forces. The Bridge-street Association had' yesterday a tri umph, if the convict ion of an individual whom they have steadily pursued for a course of two years can be called one. It is, however, a triumph which no honest man will envy them. We are no advocates for the licentiousness of the Press ; but think both the hazard and the penalties already sufficient, without their being aggravated by a conspiracy which pos sesses the means of ruining any individual on whom they fasten. Flow far the Bridge-street Association may have succeeded in doing this with the Book seller, DOLBY, who was yesterday convicted of libel, we know not : the proceedings against him, we un derstand, have been most artfully conducted, and the expenses enormous; and that his wife was even hurried to a premature grave, in consequence of the way in which her husband was harassed and persecuted by this misnamed Constitutional Association ;—a Society which has been well de scribeJ by the writer of an article in-the Investiga tor, on Licentious Productions in high life, " whose teal object was to support a particular set of men and measmes, by prosecuting all who should give too I. , ,reat license to their tongues or their pens, in conamming them, sshilst full impunity was al , lowed to those in like •manner offending for their support—an innovation destructive of the very insti tutions it professed religiously to support."

Mr. SOMNER, the K t nes Chaplain. The Princess AUGUSTA attended Divine Service at the New Parish Church yesterday. The Rev. J. GOSSETT preached an excellent Charity Sermon for the benefit of the children of the National School here, and took his text from the 18th chapter of St. MattheW, and the 14th verse-4 , Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in Heaven that one of these little ones should perish.* This morning, about ten o'clock, the Princess AUGUSTA left her residence at Frogmore, in her tra velling carriage and four, for the King's Palace at Kensington, on a visit to the Duchess of KENT and the Piincess SoPnin. Her Royal Highness is ex pected to return to Frogmore this evening. His MAJESTY, since his residence at the Cottage at Windsor, enjoys the sports of the field whenever the weather per mits. His MAJESTY rides on a strong pony, which enables him to shoot without dismounting. In the event of his MAJESTY'S honouring the LORD MAyou, as is confidently expected, the Light Horse Volunteers, under the command of Colonel BOSAN (WET, will meet his MAJESTY at Temple-bar, and form the Guard of Honour to Guildhall. The Royal Artillery Company will be drawn up in two lines to the entrance of Guildhall, that Company holding similar tights to the Archers of Scotland. The Duke of YORK had a capital day's sport at Claeveley, on Saturday last. His Royal Highness killed and bagged 82 head of game, viz.-56 phea sants, 22 hares, three partridges, and one rabbit, and was out only four hours. His Royal Highness is now with a shooting party at Euston, the seat of the Duke of GRAFTON. By the Will of the late Marquis of LONDONDERRY, which has not yet been proved, he bequeaths to the Marchioness, for her life, the uncontrouled possession of the houses and furniture in St. James's-square and at Foot's Cray, together with all her Ladyship's jewels, and the very valuable diamonds which were presented to the Noble Marquis by the Sovereigns and Princes of foreign States during his various missions. Lord LONDONDERRY'S own jewels are estimated to be worth £40,000 at least. We hear with surprise and astonishment, that it is the present intention of Ministers to defer the meeting of Parliament until February; unless some unexpected occurrence should in the meantime occasion a change in their determination.—Morning Chronicle. Lord LIVERPOOL and the CHANCELLOR of the Ex- CHEQUER have determined to submit to Parliament, as one of their first measures of Finance, a plan for converting the 'old Four per Cent. Annuities into Three and a Half per Cent. The result of a similar operation with respect to the Fives last year, occasions this experiment.—lbid. PRUSSIAN FORM or PRAYER.—An addition made to the Prayers for National Holydays in the Court Church, and the Cathedral of Berlin, contains the following passage:—" Bless and protect, in a pecu liar manner, the Holy Alliance, and the Monaichs ! who formed it, in order that they may govern their people, and mat' them happy in the faith of Tacit and Thy Son, the SAVIOUR of the world. Cause their holy work to succeed for the glory of Thy name, and the assurance of the general welfare: to the end that Peace, order, and justice, may reign everywhere; and that our most remote posterity may with gratitude' partake of Thy benedictions and benefits.' EXTRACT OF ANOTHER LETTER, DATED OCT. 11. " Touching the seizure of Mr. Bowring, you must know that it is generally believed among his numerous friends here, that the Government employed one of their villainous tricks to entrap him, by sending some letters to his lodgings, written in the spirit of what they call sedition. It is well worthy of them, and if I can come at the truth you shall have it, depend upon it." DQUI.OGNE.SUMMER, OCT. 11. "An order came down from Paris this morning for the further imprisonment of Mr. I3ewring here nu secret, and apprising him that he is to prepare forthwith for his trial. The charge against him is. for being the bearer of letters which have a treason.; able tendency. A fiiend of mine, who has seen one of tie songs which were found in Mr. Bow•ring's pos session, says that it was addressed to the soldiery, and that it is of a very violent character. Mr. Rowring admits this, but he says that this, as well as the other songs which were found amongst his papers, were laid upon his table by some enemy of his,who wished to ensnare him. I hope this may appear on his trial, for really his. case has a bad aspect in the eye of the French laws of treason! "It is not known yet when the ttial is to come on. The tardiness of Crown proceedings in this country will probably defer it for a month, if not six weeks. It is supposed that it will take place at Boulogne, where Mr. Bowring is, but it is perhaps more pro bable that it will be removed to Paris." The Duke and Duchess of BEDFORD and family A rrived yesterday afternoon at their house in St.James's square, from their seat, Woburn Abbey, Bedfordshire. The Marquis and Marchioness of CHOLMONDEL EY. Lady Cu A RLOTTE Ssymoun: and her infant son, have arrived in town from his Lordship's seat, Cholmon deley Castle, Cheshire. A Clergyman, in Devonshire, when about to read the Marriage Act to his congregation, addresed them thus:—" I shall preach no sermon this morning as you will see ; but will read what shall tire both you and me !" Mr. ROBERT Gotyn LAY, late a respectable farmer of Deptford Farm,Wilts, celebratqf for his Reform Ack dresses to the labourers of Wily,and for his endeavours to effect a Reform in Canada,where he was imprisoned, is now reduced to the necessity of breaking stones on the highway, and of receiving parochial asigance from the parish of Wily. The Caledonian Canal will be opened from sea to sea early next week. A rather severe shock of an earthquake was felt in Port Spain, Trinidad, about five minutes before nine o'clock, on the morning of the 4th ult. Between six and ten o'clock on Sunday night, during the temporary absence of the family, some villains entered the house of Messrs. B. and W. LEE, gold, engine, and watch-case turners, King -street, Clerken well, and carried off gold and silver filings and cut tings to a considerable amount; they likewise at tempted to force the iron safe, which contained a large sum in money, besides several thousand pounds worth of gold and silver watches, chains, and other articles of plate. Some articles of very considerable value were overlooked in the desk.
