LONDON, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1826. The French Papers arrived last night. They contain but very littlelntelligence. The following are extracts : [From the Etoik.] VIENNA, Ocr. C. The Emperte has addressed the following autograph letter to his fitghness Prince Metternich, Chancellor of the Household, of the :ow. and of the State:— ' " far ?Once 11Ietternich—As it is my pleasure that the Minis terial conferee's which have taken place up to this time, to my sa tisfaction, under the presidency of Count de Zichy, Minister of Iniste and of Conferences, shall continue without any alteration, I think it right to confide to you the Presidency, you being the old est Minister of State and Conferences consequently, in all the affairs which I shall send to be discussed at the conferences, or whenever the chief officers of my Court shall judge it necessary for the good of the public service to procure a conference for delibera tion; you shall summon the individuals whom I shall judge proper to came, or whom you or the Chiefs of the Court may think neces sary to be present fcr the object to be discussed; you shall put it so the poteribed forms for deliberation in the conferences, and shall on each occasion submit the result to my decision. " I nominate Counsellor de °away to be the referendary (or referee), and to hold the protocol. " I dome you to instruct the Chief Officers of the Court with this my. ambition. " Sgt. 29, 132 k" " FRAFTCI7." His Majesty has also addressed the following autograph letter to the (traid gournrave of Bohemia :- -' One Count Collowrat,—The distinguished skill which you Possess for business, a well as your attachment for my person, of which you have on all occasions given me proofs, have determined me to nominate you Minister of State and of (;onferences, and at the same time to confide to you the direction of the political section of try Council of State, as well as all matters relative to the personnel roPerty ) of my Council of State and of Conferences. • You are to enter as soon as passible upon your new function.. •• t'inina, Sept. 29, " FRANCIS." CORI' V, SEPT. 20. bettors from Zante, dated the 2d instant, state that it is very cer tain that Ibrahim Pacha was afraid to go and join the Capital) Packs. at Navarino, although that Admiral had written to him, in viting him to come and confer upon the subject of a combination tor a new campaign, and to receive a pelisse and sabre which the Grtind Signior has sent him. Ibrahim. on receiving the letter, i•sstead of going to Navarino, abandoned Ma* and went towards Tripolitta with lila army. It is known that he is blockaded there, although he made some very sanguinary sorties. Letters from Priem, dated the I I th of this month, announce that the Seraskiers on withdrawing from the camp . of Athena, had left the direction of the siege to Omer Pasha Caristmo, and was gone into the fortress of Negropont ; but that his object for taking this course ass not known. It is said that at a place called Mulki, mar 'Thebes, he has had a very worm engagement with Kariskall, and two other Greek Captairta, but without any decisive advantage on either ~stlrl: that according to orders he had received from Constantinople, he had attempted to penetrate into the Morea. by the Isthmus in Corinth, to relieve and reinforce Ibrahtni, but that he was not able JO succeed. If is added that Bekir-Aga, Governor of Prevesa, hay.ag returned from Missolonghl, went to pay the Serastier a • Alt. nr.d that the Governor appeared extremely uneasy, and asked him questions respecting news from the More.s, with an earnestness which proved diet neither Rekir-Aga nor the Seraskier kris, the rzsi situation of Ibrahim. It is a very old practice, among our Scottish neighbours, to trace almost every crime committed in their country to the Irish who have migrated into it. Their anxiety to trace tits origin of heinous criminals to the sister island was Eeter mare remarkably displayed than in the case of the AVlSeands, who perpetrated the recent murder at iVintan. However much the inclination of the Scots to throw such imputations off themselves may have tended in their eyes to depreciate beyond its due level the character of their Irish fellow-citizens, the opinion which they seem in this respect to entertain of the Irish is apparently very much orroborated by the recent history of the 'West of Scotland. For several years almost every Judge who has been in that 4.u.;.stcr has taken care its his charges to atihnadvert in strong terms upon the increase of crime in the Wet d i Scotland; and it is a very singular fact that the emigra tion of Irish labourers to the West of Scotland has been exactl contemporaneous with these complaints. The num ber orthese emigrants has become a subject of general discontent in that quarter, and the Duke of HAMILTON has expressed himself concerning them in a manner which can scarcely be tolerated even in the premier Nobleman of Scotland. If the lower classes of the Irish are degraded in their manner of living, and debased in their morals, as they have hut too truly in many cases been represented, that degradation and debasement is not attributable to them as Irishmen, but to the unfortunate circumstances in which they arc placed; and, instead of considering what means may be used to prevent their emigration to more favoured countries, it would be much more advisable to consider what means may be used to render them comfortable at home, and thus to remove all temptation to emigrate. In this way, and only in this way, can we pre vent their emigration to Scotland. The sate of Ireland is in every respect unfortunate, and the only difficulty lies in devising the means of remedying it. The cause of the superiority of ScOtland in point of morality is clearly to be attributed to its superior means of education, and to this there exists at present in Ireland an almost insurmountable obstacle. It is of no use to talk vaguely of causes. No political dissertation can be of the slightest consequence which dots not lead to a palpable result. Since the Duke of Hantvrotr has traced the miseries of the Win of Scotland to the influx of Irish, let the Duke of HAMILTON show us the means of preventing that influx. It is a most serious, a most momentous question—it involves the interests of seven millions of Irishmen ; and the diseussions in the West of Scotland have shown that it equally involves the interests of every portion of the empire to which the dis tress of these seven millions of Irishmen may induce their surplus population to bend its course. If things go on as they are doing at present, we may soon see our poor-rates equal our rentals; for, as the Irish habituate themselves to live on what we should consider almost nothing, there can be no bounds to their increase, and no end to the swarms Which may be poured over every habitable spot of the British donainiins. CITY, THURSDAY EVENING. The Home Funds have been in a very inactive state to day, and Consols, which displayed such a disposition to advance, have not kept their ground. At the opening of the Market, the nominal quotation was 81fi, and some Bear movements sent them gradually down to 801, at which price they remained for a considerable time; shortly previous to the close of the Market, however, the specu lators for a fall made a decided movement, in order to bring down the quotation for the opening to-morrow, and the price at which the Market closed was 8011. Exchequer Bills, and India Bonds, are both on the advance, from -the circumstance of this species of security offering an oppor tunity of investment of capital until the meeting of Par ' meat, to which event the large capitalists, who are not speculators, look forward with some degree of anxiety in re spect to the effect which the tone assumed by his Majesty's Government may have on the Funds. The Foreign Stock Exchange has been rather flat, the excitement miller which it has laboured having subsided to something like a proper temperature. Mexican Bonds have varied upon the whole about one per cent., closing at 61/ to 65. The threatened report of a new Loan to be raised in Nris seems to have subsided, though it may have had the desired effect in preventing a further rise: So much for •the management of the Beera in this Stock. Colombian have been heavy at 364 . t0 37, without any ad ditional information bince yesterday, except what appears in the French Papers, which state that letters have been re ceived from Bogota, dated 19th July (there are letters to theta:4i already in town), and from Carthagena of the 15th August, brought by the Eliza, Captain DE PnAnT, which arrived at Bordeaux on the 11th instant. Up to that period nothing had been done deciding the fate of PAEZ. BOLIVAR had pawed through Bogota, on his way to Car racas, on the itd of August, where his presence would, it was imagined, at once quiet all insurrection. These letters make no mention of any money as remittances to this coun try to pay the dividends. The French information is very barren indeed, for it does not even allude to the 400,000 dollars which were the companions of Dr. FoLey ; if they had been used for the set vices of the State, surely the fact must have transpired, and would have been alluded to. The Eliza sailed from Carthagena on the 20th August. Thestatement of Dr. Fog. EV—if, indeed, it be Dr. FOLEY'S— has occasioned a good deal of comment to-day ; and it must be admitted that it is about as incongruous an announce ment as ever emanated from a Minister of Finance, which would appear to be the office, real or imaginary, with which he came invested to this country. The reason assigned by the Doctor's friends for his turning his back upon himself, as Lord CASTLEREAGH would have had it, is, that being charged to borrow 4,000,000 of dollars, he expected to have found the way paved before his arrival, so that he might at once have by his fiat put them in his pocket, and have marched with them back to Bogota. Such, however, not being the case, he turnaround and says—" I would have taken your money if I could ; but, as you won't let me, I will at least give you this important information—CJ lombia cannot meet her engagements:" as if it was re quired that any M.D. should come from another world to fulniinate such a truth in the heart of the city of London ! How Dr. Fol.': v expected to have found the way paved does not appev; it may be with gold,- or perhaps with silver. Such things, however, no longer exist—at least in the City. That it may have been suggested, as a feasible means of paying the dividends, to get a large capitalist or capitalists to advance a rum of money on the credit of the Government Funds becoming available this month, is very possible; and if acceded to, it would have been no more than has been done in other instances. The main fact, however, of M. HeRTADO'S statement, as to money coin ing to England, is borne out by Dr. FOLEY ; for lie came with such a convoy to Carthagena: and die operation of the taxes becoming payable in October no doubt afforded the authority on which the Government calculated on re mitting 1,000,000 dollars in December. It is true the sum of which the Doctor speaks is only half the amount con templated by M. Huarano's despatches. but it did not follow but that another 200,000 might soon be available. As to the mere surmise of the sum in question being required for the payment of troops, it is hardly worth notice. In respect to the Bogota Mint containing but 300,000 dollars on the tat of July, that also it very possible; what it contained the day after the Doctor left he of course cannot tell, and what has been its receipts and payments since he is in equal ignorance of. M. HURTADO'S state ment lns at least the authority of his Government as to expected funds ; and the mere assertion of Dr. FoLey, of what was the state of finance on the 4th of July, proves nothing ea to its present condition. Dr. FOLF.Y is doubt less an honourable and well-intentioned gentleman, but the published statement, at least, leaves him open to the , '"!•4.k r THE BRITISH PRESS. chirp of inconsistency. Nothing is asked for M. Hua- TAD° more that may be claimed for Dr. Fot. ay ; and let Time, the reveller of even greater mysteries than this, determine the question between them. Chilian, Greek, and Spanish, are at last quotations. In Shares the Del Monies are at 20 to 30, and Brazilian at 13 to 14 premium. The Colonial Market still continues heavy, it being im possible to effect any sales of magnitude in Sugars, without a fall. Transactions of a smaller nature fully realize last prices. Rums alone show a firm and improving Market. .1 • k -4 .4" •) , 4 • A 5 le-, I a Ap • • -tom Gt - t - 11 ••• 4c , ••• • E • MOVE M E.NTB..

The following following is a copy of a letter addressed by Admi ral Tombazi to M. Eynard:— HYDRA, AVG. 22. FlR,—Your noble solicitude in all that concerns Greece, my country, and the generous sentiments which have trade your name dear to all the Wends of humanity. Induce me to confide to the Swiss, and partieulatly to the city of Geneva, my only son, who is but a youth, deprived of a mother, not able, by reason or existing circumstances, to enjoy the benefits of a private education, still lees of a public one, often abandoned for whole months together by his father, who has ditties to fulfil glen more sacred than those of a parent, and needs • he philanthropic protection and paternal cares of the Philhellene' of Geneva. I know, Sir, how much you love us ; and how much you desire our progress in civilization. It is this Intimate persuasion I have of your benevolent inten tions which has made me take the liberty of sending to you my dear son, Nicholas Toenbazi. and to recommend him with the fullest confidence to the enlightened direction of your celebrated city. Our military occupations have not yet permitted us to form schools for youth, and yet it i s u pon that alone that Greece can found her hopes of becoming one day worthy of the protection which is now extended to her by the pithanthropiats of civilized Europe. I am a sailor, Sir, and my desire is that my son may be one also ; and for that purpose I could wish him to be acquainted with the theoretical knowledge which navigation requires; so that lie may be able to serve his country more efficaciously :hen his father can do. Moreover, my wish is, that he should learn French and Eng lish. as being the two language* most known throughout the world, without, however, neglecting the ancient Greek language, which ought to be the bads of his education. I wish him also to study history and geography; and especially I wish him never to forget that he belongs altogether to his country. Thomaso Petrint has very willingly undertaken the charge of accompanying my son, and to deliver him into your paternal hands. I lutes *Wen him a little money, only to pay the expenses of his voyage. Al To the necessary creases for his maintenance, you *lll nave the goodneile na ndvancit o them with that woolly which oar present eircuitances Andretlequielte, by drawing upon M. Prtscopius Caritz at Trieste. May you be waling, /Mr, as well as the generous enes of Geneva, to serve as guides to his youth, and protectors of his weakness. May your wile, as all totothers, deign sometimes to east a maternal eye upon my son ; and, finally, may you be willing to believe that ns; gratitude for yoar kindness shall expire only with my life. Iha the honour to be, TOMPIAZI. The original of this letter is its French. At the bottom of it were some lines written its modern Greek by Aliaulis,, who whaled to recommend the son of .his companion in arms. This letter has been ccnimunicated to the Greek Committee of Geneva. They have nominated a commis. atou of three members, M. Fabre Bertrand, M. Dumont, and M. Cheneviere, to superintend the education of Nicho las Tombazi at Geneva, and to fulfil towards this interest. ing young man the wishes of his virtuous father. Nicholas Tombazi will come directly to Geneva, as soon as the time for quarantine at Ancona is terminated. 7.1 LETTER THE NINTH, raom THE CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD OF STAMPS, TO THE RIGHT HON. T. WALLACE. Sts—When your Reports on the Stamp Department first made their appearance, you were every where repre sented as meriting the best thanks of the country for the very-zealous and minute scrutiny with which you had pur sued your inquiries. The Daily Journals applauded— naturally enough—the manifest disregard which you tes tified for the superiors of office. They commended the apparent sternness with which you applied the probe, without caring who was the sufferer. It was ascribed to that inexorable justice which abates nothing of its rigour' from respect to the high official situation of the parties it has to deal with. This was a disposition to be cherished in public men ; and the labours of yourself and your col leagues were extolled accordinely. That, in the absence of all counter evidence, you should obtain this high credit was a thing of course. But a repu tation so entirely undeserved was not likely to last. Your motives have been since developed, and the praises which followed you are at an end. I had drawn the public attention in my earlier Letters, to the fact of your having published your fourteenth Re port, while the Appendis was kept back, which contained the Evidence on which it was founded. This fact having got abroad, it was felt necessary to hasten its appearance with all possible speed. It has accordingly beets brought out ; and I shall now proceed to examine whether it is such as the Commissioners of Revenue Inquiry, on the sanction of the oath they had taken, faithfully to discharge the trust reposed in them, were justified in lay* on the table of The House of Commons, with their warranty, that "his Majesty and both Houses of Parliament" might safety pro..' coed to judgment upon the evidence contained in it. It was the infamy which attached to the charge of being accessary to a fraud of high amount on the Revenue, as a Director of the County Fire-office, which you so labori ously endeavoured to fix upon me, that made me to resolve not to wait for your Appendix, but to proceed at once to clear my character before the public from an imputation calculated to destroy me utterly in its estimation, to make me hide my face in the society of honourable men, and to take from meal! sympathy, in the event of that ruin falling upon me, which was meditated from the very commence ment of your inquiry. I have already shown the spirit in which your Inquiry has been conducted, but had I had access when I wrote my Mind letter to this Appendix, which you hare published within these few days, and which is now lying before me, it would have enabletl me to expose, with an effect still more striking, the proofs of deliberate combination against me, which your Report betrays, and the determination evinced in every page of it to put me out of the pale and protection of justice. It will appear in the course of these letters with what surprise I was struck, and how indignantly my mind was affected, by the avowal made by Mr. Sykes—and to which you emphatically call the attention of Parliament and of the Treasury—of his reason for carefully concealing from me, as Chairman of the Board, frauds which had been charged against the County Fire Office by some anony mous informer, and upon which inquiries had been for some time going on in Edinburgh, under a correspondence between himself and Mr. Bremner. " In consequence," rays your Report, " of the Chairman of the Board of Stamps being also a Director of the County Fire Office, Air. Sykes represents that he had felts difficulty in communicating with him in the first instance on the subject of a charge against this Company, nor did the Chairman receive any intimation of the imputed fraud front the Commissioner to whom the suspicion had been originally imparted. By the evidence of Air. Sykes it ap pears that be was apprehensive that the object of the inquiry would be defeated by Mr. Bedgwick being put in possession of the facts on which the charge was founded, before the necessary steps had been taken to establish the case. This impression, founded to an avowed distrust of the conduct of the head of the depart ment," ices_ _ It mast be clear to every one, that whoever read this, whether in Parliament or out of it, would naturally be led to infer that my official character, with which Mr. Sykes, as Solicitor of the Board, was well acquainted, must have been, previota/y, such as to warrant all the privacy with Which he had thus-deemed it necessary to proceed. grery one would conclude that there were, no doubt, good rea sons on the part of Mr. Sykes for holding it unsafe to let any hint of what was going forward transpire in my pre sence. It was meant that the public should so conclude; and you designedly arrest attention to it, that they may not fail to do so. No sooner did I procure a copy of the Appendix, than I immediately turned to the evidence of Mr. Sykes, that 1 might see whether he had set forth any ground for the foul imputation which his language so plainly conveyed; when, to my utter astonishment, after reading his examination over and over again, before I could credit my senses, I found that he had uttered no such words, that the whole was a fabrication of your own, and that you have actually taken a part of the garbled examination of one of the Clerks of the Solicitor (Mr. Mawe), in reference to one of the Comptroller's Clerks (Mr. Deans); and with a design, and for a purpose, which cannot fail to be seen, you have deliberately recorded it as the language in which Mr. Sykes, as Solicitor of Stamps, testified his opinion before the public of my character as Chairman of the Board!! But I must put it down iu detail, or the fact will not ob• tain belief. Mr. Sykes, in the course of his examination as to the first intelligence he received with regard to the alleged fraud on the Revenue by the County Fire Office,—which alleged fraud, by the way, it has been proved, was un founded, and originated in a most scandalous conspiracy,— states as follows: Having considered the subject for some days, I went into the Board Room, there being p resen t 31r. Hallam, main Montagu, and 31r. Addington. 1 stated that I had received this paper, with Which 1 believed they were acquainted, and that I thought of writing to Ni. Bremner to get information. I wrote on the 224 of May ; a week after that it was mentioned by Captain Montagu and 3lr. Addington to the Chairmen, who thought that though be was con nected with this office, he ought not to be kept in the dark about it. The Chairman then came out to me with a great deal of good tem per, and asked me what was going on ? I said there was a very awkward charge against Mr. Barber Beaumont. for having with. drawn large sumo from this office when the policies were subsisting. I said, ' You may think it strange I have not mentioned this to you, but understanding that you were intimate with Mr. Barber Beau mont, and n Director of that office, I did not feel myself at liberty to mention it.' He said, Mr. Barber Bentunout was not a particular friend of Ids, and that lie would follow up the inquiry, and that the best way would be to wait till the time for a fresh return of duties, and then to examire into t. Ido not think I mentioned at that time that I had written to Ni. Bremner, which I had done three or four days before ; that was on the Friday evening ; it was too late then to get at the book in the Comptroller's office and he said the next morning we would look over that book, and examine into the alleged disparity between that office and others. I (hid not seehhu the neat clay; we did not happen to be in the office at the same time; I had no farther conversation with him till the Tuesday following. On the Tuesday i received a letter from Mr. Bremner, disclosing the information he had obtained ; I took the letter into the Board'; the Chairman was extremely angry to think I should send to Bcoth.nd to make it.quitiez on this subject t he said, the proper way would have been to have gone to the office, and asked for the books; I said, • We may differ perhaps a livid upon that. lilt had been found out, on the books coming before you, pibbably that is the way which would be adapted; but if a person comes and gives information, putting it in a strong way that fraud has been committed, the first thing is to ascertain whether fraud has' been committed or not;' that was all that passed.

Before I advert to the examination of Mr. Mawe, it may be necessary, in the way o f ex pl ana ti on , t o intr oduce the following extract from the evidence of Mr. Deans, the Clerk in the Comptrol!er's Office, who had been specially sent by the Board to investigate the books of the County Fire Office, with directions to trace out the frauds charged against it, if any had been committed. On his return it did not appear to me that his inquiry had been full enough, and he was directed by the Board to renew it ; to this circumstance.it is that the following extract from his evidence refers:— but, in the dieladeelf Mr. Beassiont, they tlid not hel ha je ll e d pradneing odors, I them returned to Senteract Hoe*.

It is these Reports, in which you have thus perverted the truth, and falsified the facts,—and this too, so glaringly, that they, in a manner, turn Kings evidence against their own injustice,—that you have deliberately caused to be pre. Rented to the Throne, as the ground upon which his Ma jesty may be conscientiously secommentled to remove me from office ! IVith respect to the Evidence entertained in this Anpen. dix—and upon which you have conducted your inquiry throughout—it is in direct variance with all the rules of reason, and subversive of all the principles of justice.

Detachments or recruits arrived in town yesterday morning, from Coventry, and received orders to embark this morning on board • steam-vessel in the River, for Gravesend, on route to join their re spective corps and depots at Chatham and Canterbury. Several detachments arrived in town on Wednesday from Chat. ham, and immediately proceeded on their march for Bristol, on route to join their respective corps and depots in Ireland. THE LEATBERHEAD MURDERS. On Wednesday evening a man, named Armstrong, was brought over in custody by Hewett, the chief officer of Maryiebone Office, to Anion-Hall. It appeared that this maa had been examined before Mr. Grif. fiche, the Magistrate, thammomin,g, and the depositions taken an the occasion were transmitted to t alon-Hall, by which it seemed that the man in custody Lad admitted, that in a conversation he had had with a Gipsy named Hayward, near Esher, in Surrey, previous to the murders at Leatherliead, the latter had disclosed to him that it was his intention to rob an old man in the neighbourhood of Esher of his pony and cart. When Armstrong heard of th e mur ders, and where they were committed, the above conversation occur red to his mind, and he began to tell some of his pot companions, at a public house in the parish of itlarylebone, that he knew well who the murderer was, in consequence of which information was given to an officer, and he was forthwith taken before Mr. Grif tth, who took down his depositions. Mr. Caldwell, on penis ' ing them, questioned .%rinstrong, and, from his answers, it was evi dent that lie could throw no light on the subject of the mordent. The conversation respecting the robbery the (Jim was to commit, took place near Father, and the Gipsy. it :sof eared. said the premise, of the old 01101 wry close to that place. Now Esher is eight "rnine miles from Fetcham : besides, the unfortunate old man who h a d been murdered wu bedridden ifor the lan three years previous to his death, and was not possessed of eitbegiwyse se =Liar ermay years ; therefore, If there waa bathe story told by Arm strong, which was a my improbable hoe, It was clear that he mis understood the Gipsy, who designed to make the scene of his de predations within a abort distance of Esher. Mr. CALDWELI., having heard the itatement of Armstrong, ob. served that them was nothing in it that tended to throw the slight. est suspicion of the murder on the party be alleged having bad the above conversation with.

COLOMBIAN LOAN. TO THE EDITOR OF THE BRITISH PRESS. St a—The observations made in the Courier of last even ing respecting the state of Colombia, and its inability to pay the dividend due to this country, have naturally caused great sensation ; ani as they require some further informa tion and explanation, in order that the public may not be deceived, I take the liberty of putting a few questions to the author of the said article, or to Dr. Foley himself:— First, Can he show a power vested in him to raise the Loan spokes of ? and if he can, by whom is this power given ? Secondly, Was the money alluded to as having been sent down to Carthagena, given under his particular charge, and the authority for its disposal vested in him ? or did he merely take his passage in the same champan which conveyed it ? Thirdly, Does he know from olficialautbority that the money was to be detained for the payment of the troops, or to be remitted to this e,untry ? I am led to put these quettions, simple as they may tip. pear, for several reasons:— First, Because it appears to me that the article in question gives Dr. Foley a consequence in the secrets of the affairs of the GOVIaI. ment of Colombia which some persons doubt. Secondly, If he really has the power to raise a Loan, and wishes that the public should fairly know the fact, ought he not to give more information thereon 1 for it appears strange that in the aicetu de Colombia of the 2d July ft is officially amounted that Senor Santos 3lichelena is appointed Consul General to England, and was invested with full powers to arrange the financial concerns of hie Government with their creditors in this country," and which ap pointment has been made known to the BMW' public. Thirdly, It appears no lees curious that Dr. Foley could be emu powered, when the Vice President and his Ministers can have no authority to grant such power, unless it it first deemed by the House of Representatives, and confirmed by the Senate, as was the case in previous Loans. Fourthly, Unless he was intrusted with the disposal of the mss. ney alluded to. how can he undertake to assert that it will not be sent to this country ? Coupltng these circumstances with the evia dent intention of the article in question, it appears to me tube no. thing more not less than a stock jobbing trick, to serve particular parties ; or that Dr. Foley's name has been improperly mule ttttw of. It is also very singular that the very man who It is eta is sent to this country to borrow money for the Government shoull be the one to say, "Do not lend more, for you never will be • " But this, of mune, must be palliated (or the cloven feet discovered), and therefore Dr. Foley, as an honpurabbl mkb, not deceive his couutrymen— certain ly very honourable and pasiss:" worthy! Bat suppose, Sir, that It should so turn out that Dr. Foley has no such power—that Dr. Foley has no authority for stating that the money will not be forthcoming—that Dr. Foley is dist: pleased with the Government—where then will remain the Aitinda-, tint for the article in question, or the honour of the parties whe caused its insertion ? for there are Enan_y who do trot be l ieve slat the statement was presented by the Doctor to the Editor of the- Coarier. As, however, Dr. Foley's name has been made public, it becomes public property, in as tar as regards the subjects Waded te, until it is by him confirmed or contradicted. ' I will, therefore, take the liberty of raking bbn the fol• lowing additional questions : First, When he quitted Carthagena for Bogota some time hal year, for the purpose of making good his claims, did he am:coatis° the extent of his wishes ? Secondly, When he quitted Bogota for this country, wee he upon-. terms of perfeescordialtrty with the Executive ? the n T i c h. o o e s n u e e s r ird additional cannotwquestions help appearance t l a d y : k b e i ng c t o n h f s j a r a d nt tthheele r u i n n t i P s a am monioua nature, than the production of a man who has been hennaed with powers to act for a government in matters of so much consequence; nor Ins strange that such Government would grant a power for financial *ix. rations ro a Medidal man and a soldier, _when they hod co • recently appointed ono of the mentheB.M' their own Con gress, fully competent, by. commerittal knowledge, to regu late all such matters, and when their acciedited Minister in this country has received despatchei, announcing that fact, of a subsequent date to Dr. Foley's admitted departure from Bogota. .
