Powles, professing to be an answer to my previous exposi tion, containing certain official correspondence between the late Mr. Zea and myself. together with various , notorious fists relating to the new OM ernment established in Colom bia in May ISM. The public will rektilly have noticed that the authors of quit letter, entirely overlooking the main point of the ques tion, or rather the only one relating to the Colombian Loan, have descended to &Weeded personalities by ne means con wetted with the cOntiet at my exposition. and confined themselves to a garbled quotation of facts disfigured, from which they draw inacourate conclusions. lem fully aware 'that to seek to answer such •a , production would be a fer f.onal degradation to myself, et logs of time, as well as au wadee trespass on the attention of the public. My princl pl.l and the character •I have ever held in society never al lowed tee to take isit' my pen unless to•state facts with cor llMness, propriety. and candour, particularly when my ob ject is do inform the British *little respecting operations of the !jibed importance to theinselvcs,iu which unfortunately EtahyTineocent persons are involved. --11'or this reason I do not hesitele now to speak plainly, al thetigh my communication is ezeliaively intended for the bens albYthe public, who,after what has passed,hotveevery right tb took for better information and more cattalo date on this subject than they have hitherto been furnished with. With this view only do I presume to otter the following observa tion& : Tile principal point relating to M. Zee's powers, by tiro tae of which the Loan was nesociated. granted, as they were, at Angostura, Dec. 24., iSISI. by General Bolivar, President ad interim, under the authority of a Congress seamed proeisionattyl, and pot elected, certainly Is not whe ther these powers were at that time legitimate and valid:— They emanated from the only regular Government then in the conatry. although Willy provisionally imaituted, yet in tlan best manner the circumstances of the war allowed; and if Mr. Ze. bad made qse of them in 1820, when be arrived here, or in part of IStl, that is, previously to its being Mown to Estelle with certainty, and with the evidence of iubliedoeummits, that a new, regalia% circled, and perma itt qovernment had been formed In Colombia, subsequent the entire liberation and hidorporetioil of New Granitchi, and that this nee Giosorement had (matted a new Conalltst. lion. chosen nem Childs. ditkorities, dad Magistrates, (Whoa* provieional powers had all been surrendered into the herds of the (•ongresa,) soy Loan Mr. Zea might have Ne gotiated at that time would doubtlessly have been valid, and received the sanction of the Congress. when they first assembled, or were duly infoereel thereof. The main and Indy question is, whether, Wet existing circumstances, the pewees so granted in 1819 would he valid in March, Ifte. when Me President and the Congress, both provi firma& and from which they emanated, had ceased to exist, by thiefermatitia of a new Gerernmeat is May, ISM, es the semi of weer/antes published in the European prints folly prove ; and when, in the meanwhile, a new Constitu tion had been enacted, the 38th Article of which expressly dstelares " that t:.a power to contract debts on the credit of the Repub:ic exclusleely belongs to lbw Congress." Dir. tinauelempora et conciliabis jure. With eonedence, therefore, do I now assert, that it is self erident, the powers alluded to were mall and invalid in Diarch 1922, and that all contracts made by virtue thereof, so Tate as the period lkst named, are irregular, of no value. sad saneot be binding in any respect whatever. No man At truth and reason can deny the invincible force of this truth ; because it is plain shit clear, tad founded on those striuelplets which tulle men in their intercourse with etch mikes. • Messrs. Herring. Graham, and Powles, either as a com pany or individually, had sent an Agent to Colombia to *akd contracts la their name, end this Agent had remained there, one or stare years. without entering itdo any, and in atm mean time it had been publicly made known. either by Zotiddo Iliewspipers. or Loudon letters, that the above corn- Palry of Werring.

When so material and peblic a change' Wass place, • the powers this delegated must be renewed ; otherwiseihey cannot be valid, particularly after so long a lapse of time. The virtue of an ordinary power of attorney etsksesYrom the moment the party who granted it dies ; and fee dee holder to make use of it, after this event is known to Late taken place; is, I believe, by the laws- of this and every other country, a criminal assumption. this point the Contractors have not and cannot answer.— Beth in law and equity powers only last as long as the per son or authority who conferred them lasts. The eentrary is the case, when powers continue hi force unaffected by any regal Interruption. Then, in ordinary cases, that their sir tute.easy cease, a specie' revocation is meessary; and even C.is Mr. Zea had received in time, as is proved by his own setrigen declarsticias to that effect. Messes. Herring, Unlearn. and Powles must have also heap fully aware of this fact. Here let me ask those mo nied men who supported and joined them is the original contract, as well as those persons who subsequently bought the stick, whether, at the time they were laying out their ospasyy. , they supposed that tne special powers held forth and used for the eoatract emanated from a government,then really tit existence, or one that had ceased to exist for up sestsW ea year? In the Bonds, the term "by virtue of special powers'? is inserted ; but the date Is carefully orititted, which 'naturally would not have been the case heck the -powers alluded to been new sad valid ones.— Of *is distinction the Contractors themselves must have beet sensible ; but they probably believed that by realising What they considered the advantageous terms of the *vitals ; by 4aet4sing eulngiutos on the Government of Colombia end its President; by forming a strong party here in their favour ; by holding out the threat of a a .crifice of honour end credit—they would wrest from a young and distant Go /erne, rut a sanction to their contract, notwithstanding it eras irregular, opposed to the new Constitution, and unjus tifiSble in every sense. .* Among the many proofs that the Contractors themselves were aware of the new order of things in Colombia, the quetatton in the very Bonds of the new Tariff of Import end Export Duties. sanctioned by the New Congress on the 26th September, litil, that is, subsequent to the formation of the Constitution. is the must evident; nay, these very duties are therein mortgaged to the payment of capital and interest of the lean. Why did net the Contractors rather stipulate for the Tariff of Import and Export Duties as established at Angostura i Their answer to ibis query must of itself lu yrditate the powers they were using in March. 1029 ,• the ohj.e.tion being the same, that is, it was no longer &force ; --wed their knowledge of this feet, by the very quotation of the new Tariff Iti their Bonds, th-y formerly confess. Yet 09 this vial point they now observe the most profound silence. as well in their cemmuuications to the public, as at the meeting of the Bond-holders hetd on the Ilth of last .1 unitary. It is this evident invalidity of Mr. Zee's powers, and the undue use madeof them, that must and will render that Gen tleman's Loan oull and of no effect. The Congress of Co lombia, with all the accompanying facts before them, never min sanction such a contract; because it is in direct s iota- Son of the Constitutioti tney themselves have formed and published to the world; because neither the contract, nor the appropriations of the money emanating from it, have been authorised by any power emanating from the existing Government. I feet confident that in so doing the present bond-holders will themselves readily acknowledge it acts tight, when all the facts are before them. in this eouipli cated affair. I feel satisfied the Congress and the Government of Colombia aid act with strict end impartial justice; but they will not be brow-beaten or admit of any collusion. The whole must come before the Pcb:ic of Engtand and of Co. Nimbi& in its naked form ; and the sooner thereat bond-hol ders look to their own interests the better : they have the 'Gleam declarations of Cie Col , .intbian Executive already be fore them i the bases of t hese declarations cannot be over turned. 'lle Congrese for the present cannot alter the Con stitution they have Clif. et ed ; and if, in the due course of time prescribed by law, they should think proper to make any violation, this can never have a retrospective effect; particularly es regards past operations undertaken in ci trate opposition to the known and express provisions of the same. . This sn46Jeetfljs *IWO tarried furtliii: expected. On some future obeasiou I shall lay before the public other observationeboth with regard , to.Ml,Zes's de bentures, which were the real origin and the ohlrohjict of the Loan, as well as regarding the terms of the contract fur the Loan, with some othbr particulars. .•. To conclude—l must assert, Ist, That I have never re ceived any sum of money from Messrs. Herring, Graham, and Fowles, either as Commissioners from the English cre ditors of tee Colombian Government, or as Keats irote the said Government, or as contractors fur the Loft. No order or receipt hes been given by meander any of those respects. 2d, That I applied end much less urged on any oc casion for the payment from Mr. Zea of any sum on account of any Loan. The Government at Angostura furnished Mr. Zea with a considerable sum of money, part of which Mr. 'Lea placed la the hands of Mr. Drool, a merchant in London. Besides. Mr. 'Lea, in February or March 19.21, received from a mer chant of the United States. thee in London, as I understood, the sum of 30,0001. on account of the Colombian Govern ment. I request you will have the goodness to insert in your va luable paper the above statement for the information of tie public.

CRANNON AND WITS. This was an action for various libels published by Mrs Cbannon against Lady Ogilby. The plaintiffs' case was conducted by Mr. IiCARLIMT and Mr. GURNEY; and the defendants' by the SOLICITOR URNERAL and Mr. BARNZWALL. The trial of this cause lasted nearly the whole day. The alleged libels consisted of anonymous letters sent to Lady Paxton, Lady Des Anges. La ly Nollekins, and Mrs Lewrs Des Anges, respectively, reflecting in terms most scandalous to the reputation and character of Lady Ogilby. It was alleged that the defendant, Mn. Chan non, was the authoress of these letters. It was suggested as the occasion of these attacks upon the character of Lady Ogilhy, that she had declined introducing Mrs. Channon to Court in the month of May, 1821, and omitted to invite her to one of her parties in the month of June, in the same year. The ladies and their husbaods had precious to this transaction been on terms of mutual visiting intimacy. The slights above-mentioned were sup posed to have generated in Mrs. Channun's mind a vin dictive tieing of hatred towards Lady Ogilby, felting itself in an intention to blast the repotrion of her Ladyship in the estimation of her coins mon friends and acquaintance, by means of cir culating anonymous letters, imputing to her Ladyship such conduct as disqualified her from a4sociating whit persons of her own sex who had any regard for virtue or their own reputation. The four anonymous letters w hich wete the ground-work of the action, professed to be a friendly caution to the several ladies to whom they were addressed, against "a woman named Lady Ogilby, who had for several years been in the ,back ground. froth a very good cause, hot had lately got into notice. A per son who had been in the habit of associating with time most diseusting creatures, and that her only fear was of being found out; that her policy was (as time writer un derstood) to attack people's characters, both married and, single, tor fear of being known herself; that it was ne cessary to caution respectable families into which she had obtruded herself against her society ; that the conduct of her horrid sister and of herself could not escape notice, from the lewd way in which they bad conducted them- selves towards men in company, and in their artenmp.s to ape the manners of women of fashion." These letteri were signed " A Friend of Morality," and were respect ively addressed to, awl received by the ladies strafe mentioned.

Mfrs. Mr. A Ilf..er, a schoolmaster of Sussex, who bail taught Channon writing, sixteen years since, deposed to 'the same effect ; but his testimony was founded merely from baviog seen her signature to a note of hand, and a letter of her writing, within time last two years. Sir Francis Desanger spoke to the fact of his wife having received one of the letters in question; but he 'stated his positive belief that none of the letters were , written by Mrs. Channon, being of opinion that they acre not of her character of hand writing. It appeared that the defendant's attorney had obtained a Judge's or der far the production of the letters before trial, in order that they might be seen by such witnesses as were in tended to be subporned on behalf of the defendant. The plaintiffs attorney had obeyed the order, but the kit oesses did not appear to inspect the letters. Ile substantial defence set up was, that the letters in qaestion were not of the hand writing of Mrs. Chanson; and that, in fact, she knew nothing of them. A great number of witnesses of respectability, who were visiting acquaintances of Mrs. Chanson, and who were acquainted with her hand writing, from having re ceived occasional notes from her, during the last two or three years, expressed their positive opinion that the let ters in question were not her band writing. Sir It. Steele, who has hcen acquainted with Mrs. Chan non for five years, and ha's a pretty frequent correspond ence with her daring that time, and was perfectly ac quainted with her character of hand writing, was quite pusitive upon this subject. No relative of the fancily, or early acquaintance was called, to give testimony upon this point, awl although her brother wsi in Court, he was not called. , r Mr. SI antarr addressed the Jury, with his usual abi lity, in reply, The Loan CIIIEF JUSTICS summed up the case ; and the— J ury found their vermila for the de!hnda , COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Fan. 20. int: CRIM.

Gtmonatx—Holloway, an itinerant poulterer, who occasionally vends game, appeared yesterday before the sitting Alderman, Sir R. C. GLYN, accomTianied by Mr. Haammt, his Solicitor, to support an information, under the statute iSth George 111. cap. 75, exhibited by him against a prisoner in the Fleet, named Hetherington, fir unlawfully purchasing game of him, the informer. Holloway is in the habit of hawking game about, and for that purpose obtained admission into the Fleet prison; be nu doubt thought he had got a good customer in the defendant, who, to judge from the amount of the penal ties claimed (viz. 701) must have been a large purchaser. He, however, refused to pay ; there was no such thing me suing him for such a debt, and the poulterer, taking HI-vantage of the clause in the Act, allowing the seller to infirm against the buyer, or vice versa,ldi t this informa tion, in the hope of reimbnrsing himself for his game out of his share of the penalty. Mr. HARMER was ab•iut to prove his case, when Mr. HUMPRIMES, the Solicitor, took an objection in limine. The defendant, he said, was not in a situation to attend and plead. The law imposed upon no man to do an impossibility, and he objected, that in the compelled absence of the defendant, the Magistrate had no jurisdic tion. It was in this case as in that of an indictment; to reale the Court toproceed, the defendant must be brought op by habeas corpus; in his absence the proceeding would be ex parte. Mr. HARMER was obliged to concede to this law, bat complaint I that this course was most ungracious, as Mr. H. had by letter given him to understand that he should appear fur the defendant. The Magistrate left the two solicitors to settle the ques tion as to graciousness, and dismissed the information as not within his jurisdiction. TERRIFIC ACCIDENT AT GLASGOW. (PRoSt A CORRESPONDENT OP THE EDINBURGH STAR.) GLASGOW, tiONDIY, FEB. 16.4. P.M.—This morning, at half-past right, the corner building of Saltmarket an Prince's•s•reet, known by the name of Gibson's Land, became a heap of ruins. Its great height, beihg five stories, besides garrets, made the repeated crashes timid. fully load. The gap ,extends from the Lorth side. of the i'estetorfreaseoliniem a il i ig the corner of Prime's-street, foots that corner west to thap staircase which rune up the inside of the buildi ng . T he whole line of nuns may lie tibmil 'AI or 80 feet, and p er . gems an immense mass. So frail hay been Os • nature or theistailding, that/I:timely two stones can be seen banded together ; and the wooden part is equally far gore. i n the crashes, which were two, closely succeeding each other, the stones went against the building on the op polite corner, which is also very high. This bath'. inn.. It a xm e r frows, is very much inkired, and the wall nest to Gibson's Laud, looks as if it had been exposed to the tire of small cannon shot, and in some places very large Wiles have been made in it. The shock given to this land was so great, that the chim. nits on its south aide gave way, and the stones pen, 'rated 'the roof below. The inmates considered it pc dent to rimove their furniture from this huildime.— Prince's-street is completely tilled with ruins, whid, cannot be less than 20 feet deep in souse places. Th e part of the building, which gave nay a fete years age; and which was afterwards repaired, although closets the present disaster, remains to appearance firm enough. it is not known that any lives have been lost. Several have been reported. One unman was, after great exertion and danger, dog from the ruins. Ahudt twelve o'clock. she w.ts beard slitting for assistance, and about two sho was extricated. sh e was encased in the ruins ; and het hand was visible. Site was much exhausted, and called for water, whieli was repeatedly given her. The usual sanctity of the del was completely set aside. Carts and uarrows were going in every direction; sad tradesmen were busily eas e l tyed. It is fortunate that the accid ent was expected. If it had been otherwise, the.consrquen. ces might have been very bad.
