SECRETARY—JOIIII Orrok, Esq. The Republic of Co/Ombirt Offers great inducement to emi gratiori. With .a soil capable of yielding almost every species of natural production, it possesses a variety of climate, adapted, according to the elevation of the respective districts from the sea, to the cultivation of the fruits both of tropical and Euro pean counties, and to the several varieties of the human consti tution. Colombia extends, on the Atlantic shore, from the mouth of the Orinoco to the Isthmus of Panama; and on the Pacific, iron i Guayaquil to the same Isthmus : the country is. intersected by innumerable rivers and streams. - The Republic, is now in the fifteenth year of its independence. Its entire ter ritory is free from the presence of any foreign force or authority. British consuls reside at the capital, and at the principal ports, and a treaty of commerce is now in progress between the Re public and the British Government. The Government of Co lombia is desirous of promoting the emigration to its territory of useful persons, capable of drawing forth the natural re sources of the country. A law of Congress was passed on the 11th of June, 1823, investing the Government with authority to dispose of lands, and grant privileges for this purpose. Under the sanction of this law, two grants have been made, of specific quantities of land, in different districts of Colombia, of which this Association has become possessed, - amounting to upwards' of a million of English acres. Two-thirds of this quantity have been ceded free, and the remainder at a price little more than nominal. These grants (one or other of them) contain the following privileges in favour of all settlers who may prOceed to occupy • these lands :• viz.—Exemp tion, during- ten years, from military service, except re quired for lOcal defence. Exemption from duties of all cloth ing imported for the use of the settlers.—(Agricultural imple ments are by law exempt from duty.) Exemption, in one grant for six years, and in the other for ten years, from direct contributions and ecclesiastical tithes. Exemption from export duties, of the produce raised by the settlers for six years. Settlers not to be in any way molested on account of their religious belief. * For the purpose of bringing these lands into, a productive state, and rendering them of value to the association, it will proceed to take measures for establishing settlers thereon. It will'dispose of the lands in small quanti ties, either at a fixed price or at an annual rent, to agricul turalists,' whii may be - - disposed to occupi them, affording to 'such persons the following advantages, viz :- The providing for them, in the most' conomical manner, a passage to. Colombia.-- appointing agents to rec e ive th e m the r e on their landing, to furnish them' with all necessary information as to their proceed-, ings, and to conduct them to the place of their location—en suring an adequate supply of provisions for their use—and, in cases where it may be necessary, making such advances of mo ney as may be deemed prudent. As security for the repayment" of these advances, together with interest thereon, the association . will hold the title deeds of theland,with a right °filen on the stock growing crops, until the amount thereof, together with the pus-- chase-money of the land, or arrears of rent, (as the case may re-. quire) shall be paid off. Competent persons are at present en gaged, in Colombia, in selecting and measuring oil the lands, and several mechanics have been sent out, to commence the erection of tenements on such parts as may be selected. In structions have been given that, in making the selection, regard be had chiefly to the salubrity of the situation, the productive ness of the soil, the suitableness of the climate to the - European constitution, and the facility of communication with the sea. Advices have been recently received of these instructions hav ing been carried into effect in respect to a considerable portion of the land, and of its having been taking possession of on be half of the ASsociation. The Association will adopt, as an in variable rule, the ascertaining in all cases, with the utmost at tainable exactness, the healthiness of every spot whereon settle ments may be proposed to be formeci a and the compatibility of the situation with the health of the Europeans.-j- The lands which are at present selected, and under examination, may be approached by water communication, within two days' journey. Colombia produces, at present, cocoa, coffee, cotton, indigo, sugar, rice, maize, tobacco, wheat, and. European grains; but such is tire want - of hands- for eultivation, that, although wheat may be grown in abundance on the high lands, the city of Caracas imports annually, at . considerable ex pence, upwards of 40,000 barrels at' flour from the United States,. for its own consumption. The leading inducements to this undertaking appear to- be shortly these—as regards the emigrants--the obtaining, on very easy terms, land-of the most valuable desCription, and endowed with peculiar privileges, within a six weeks' voyage from Europe ; the being tar nished with adequate assistance to enable them to bring the land into a productive state ; and the certainty of markets for the produce they may raise—and as regards the Association__ the obtaining- a remuneration for the land, in the shape either of rent or of purchase-money, with the reasonable prospect of its continually improving in value—anti interest on all advances made to the settlers. This Association does not.purpose, how ever, to limit its undertakings to the matter, of colonization.— The formation of roads in Colombia is an object of the highest importance; and in some particular situations, where a considerable traffic is carried on within a limited distance, there is reason to believe that capital might be very adVan tageously applied-to this purpose, on obtaining from the Go vernment of Colombia the cession of the right of levying tolls and other privileges for a given term of years. For the granting such privileges, the Government is especially authorized by law of CongreSs. The only Means of conveyance, at- present used in Colombia, are mules, and the backs of men and women. A survey of the road, from La Guayra to the city of Caracas (a distance of 14 miles), ha been made by a-very skilful En glish engineer, from which it appears, that the construction of a Rail-road is practicable there, and as far as can at present be judged, might be profitably - undertaken. A- negociation has at present been opened with the Colombian government, for granting such privileges -as to the levying of tolls, rates of car riages, &c. fbr a specified term of years, as might render a closer consideration of time undertaking desirable; and without going into unnecessary detail on this point, it is sufficient to state that the Association will possess the power of engaging in the for mation of roads, the establishment of steam navigation on the rivers, and generally in any undertakings or investment in Colombia, where, after a diligent and careful examination of the circumstances, it shall appear to the Directors that the capi tal of the Association maybe advantageously e mployed, and more especially su c h as s h a ll appear to have a mani fest tendency to improve the value of the land secured by the Association, or to assist. the pursuits of the settlers. — The Association will also possess the power to purchase other lands in Colombia, and to advance money on the naort gage of lands in that country; and generally to adopt such • By the Act of Congress of the 22d of August, 1821, en titled, " Law respecting the mode of taking cognizance of and proceedings in causes of the faith," it is enacted that " proceed gs take place with R oman Catholici born in Co lombia, children and w i t h t h ose who, hav i ng come n shall ai o d n i ly their f r om other countries, have caused their names to be inscribed on the parish registers of the Catholics ; but not with foreigners who May conic to establish themselves in a temporary or per mament manner, neither with their deScendants, whom it shall not be lawful in any way to molest on account of their creed, although they shall be bound to respect the Roman Catholic worship and religion."- " At the height of 4,000 feet above the level of the sea, the ttiroughnn the year, leguminous pl ants, wheat, and other pro ofclimate becomes mild, vegetation co nt i nues un i nterrupte d ductions ternpsrate regions, are abund ant and of the best qua. lify otht o us insects and serpents are rarely met with ; and the human frame acknowledges the grateful salubrity of a tem perature,titted alike for en joyment and labour."—(Colon el Hall's Maracaibo and Cath 4.

The capital is one million three hundred thousand pounds sterling, divided into: 13,000 shares, of 1001. each, of which 3,000 shares are reserved to be appropriated, under such regulations as the directors may think .proper, to parties in Colombia, who may be desirous to take an tattiest in the association, or to parties with whom the direc tors may negociate for engagements in Colombia.

Eurrott—l have not the honour of con. curring.with you in many opinions you feel, it your duty to gi ve to the Public, yet, in the present very rbtrulas state of the tholic Question, you will give me leavoplai, what I have no hesitation in saying, that you speak the sentiments of the great majority of the people of Ireland, when you write as follows in your Paper of this date:-.-- " We do uot.know how these oppoAite measures will he re r ceived in Ireland, but we know, that if the 40s:freeholders - Of England were to be told, that because it is necessary that a cer tain law should be niade, having the advancement of a small portion of their body for its object, that they, the larger body, must yield up the right of voting, they would not be very well ,satisfied.with.the conduct of those who should propose kt.t. )14 so far from .either measure effecting conciliation and giving tranquillity, we should be surprised if it did not breed tumults and riots, and cause all the dreadful consequences of popular commotions." Now, Sir, it is somewhat- singular to 'see your Paper thus pleading the cause of the, poor people of Ireland against the aspirings of the most popular leaders—at least -those meo.Who. were once thought the most popular. I distinctly and unequi vocally agree with you. that the present measure of Emancipa- don, its brought into the louse of Commons by Sir FRANCIS BURDET T, and sanctioned by .some public,men of Ireland, is so far from being calculated to effect conciliation and peace, that its natural' effect must be, as it ought to be, national distatisAction and discontent: I make the assertion with a perfect knowledge of the state of public feeling in Ireland at this moment, so far its it regards the Abolition of the 40s. freeholder and the Govern ment endowment of the Catholic Clergy. It is quite true that Mr . LYTTLET9IT dOes not mean' to disfranchise the present pos 7 sessor . ; but he will not suffer the child to enjoy the privilege of .the father. This is not, and should not be, the labour of any Englishman, and particularly one like Mr. LYTTLETON, pos sessing great talents, and, I sincerely believe, a direct and honest mind; burhe is deceived by misrepresentatiOn—by ex-parte eci. hence; and therefore I am most anxious to excuse him. I flatter myself, I enjoy the fullest confidence of my country— Why should I not ? These, then, are my sentiments, and I shall feel much obliged if you give them circulation in your very influ - . ential Paper. I have the honour to remain Your very humble servant; JOHN LAWLESS.

BURDETT, for Emancipation. of the CathOlics, was not calcu lated to effect conciliation ; weynerely 'doubted, and still do, doubt the assertion ; and when coupled with Mr. TON'S Bill, our doubti are indeed renioved—because_we aie. sure it cannot conciliate, and begin to doubt whethei not promote discord.] EAST INDIA HOUSE.

Sir p..FORBES did not mean to offer any opposition to' the rnOthiti,' but heMO,st strongly condemned the resolutien - .of the' " Court Of. *Directors, by which the Company's ships were sent 7 • out separately, ..instead of two of. them; as was formerly -the.. case, being dispatched togetlir. In - this instance; theltent was alloWed to sail with the right wing of the 331 Regiment on board. The Scaleby Castle, which should have 4eem heir consort, carried the left wing of that regiment. They ought,in his opinion, to have sailed together, for the purpose of Est/sling' • each other In mid Of any accident. • If they had been in -cctrir pany;not. only.ivOuld every life on board the Kent have been savF.4, biat it was , very probable that the fire might have been extinguished: He would not say that it Was the Ei4•,4eil - objece of the resoltition to which he had alluded to prevent ships trona • assisting 4ach,other;. but such certainty was its virtual The history. of that resolution, was this the CotiipAny 4 s ships, the Britannia; on her return froni China; was near '1)&4 wrecked in the Straits of Sunda; another of their ship*, the WinchiLsea, eathe.to her assistance, and rescued her from her perilous situation. On the arrival of the Winchilsea in this country', 'Captain Moffatt appliedto be allowed demurrage for the delay which his exertions to save. the:Britannia had. occa sioned. , The sum demanded, about 300/. or 4001. was refused ; and he then insisted on the'Ctimpany's paying hint safra 4,, ' e.Yee brought an action against them, and recovered 4,0001. or 3,000:. which they had to pay, and its Much more for costs of ; suit. 11 this fell on. the Court of Directors, he would not care ; but it Proprietors-on &tithe Court of ProprietOrson their' Honourable Masters. In consequence of the justice so done to the owneis of the I.Vin • chilsea, the Court of Directors came to a resolution, OW-no two ships should be dispatched together on any future occasion. They determined to dispatch the ships singly, and thus to prevent any claim for demurrage or salvagd.Afterinitaneing one or two cases in which this practice had been .productive of very bad effects, the Hon. Baronet adverted to ,the .cause. of the fire on board the Kent, and strongly condemned the Condliet'ef the olfic'etr 'who had.taken a candle into the hold of the vessel, especially as spirits were stowed in it. 'With respect toile number of per sons on board the Kent, he said he had been informed that they amounted to upwards of 700, and Were' most' itiativeniently crowded together. - • The. Ron. HUGH LtsnsAY denied that the Kent wa4 incon veniently crowded. The officer second in 'command oe the 33d' Regiment had informed him, that during the time he-hatt•been in itis Majesty's service, he. never saw such good accommoda tion as he found on board of the Kent. The DEPUTY CHATRIVI.I . I4I adduced the authority of Sir A. Christie, the inspector of His -Majesty's troops at Chatham, to .prove that the,Accommodation on board the Kent.was exellent. Instead of there - being upwards of 700 persons" nn board, there were only 619, including the crew. Helhen defended the system of dispatching ships singly, and argued that there. was .no more risk in dispatching them in that manner than there would - be if two were sent out together. As a proof of this he observed,. that if he wished to effect a policy at Lloyd's, they would not abate a shilling premium because two ships were i dispatched together. Hebegged leave to state to the Court a circii.nstance which was not generally known; but which was connected with the conduct of a body of Jun who were pas sengers-on hoard which rendered such essential assistance to the' Kent. - It did them so Much credit and honour, that he should be.sorry if it were hidden amongst the records of the Court._ The Court was anxious to manifeSt ,its liberality. to indivi duals who had conducted themselves so - , well; but there was one description of persons in a more elevated situatipn..of)ife, whom the Court could not reward by a grant of .inoncv.. lie alluded to the substantialclass of miners, who werec:,bin. pas sengers. The Court was Lt a loss how to prove the 'sense th, y en tertained of the conduct of those individuals. ' It was ho. lly agreed that a sum of money. should be placed in the hands of their agents in town, to purchase additional comforts and con veniences for them when the brig was going - to The ac knowledgment of this grant was made in the handsonil st term.; to, the Court of Directors; but at the same tine those itativi, duals expressed to the Court their hope, as they were most jibe.: rally and abundantly provided with necessaries by the Alining Association who were sending , them, out, that thellirectcrs would be satisfied if they assigned the sum of: money* inttlndetl for : their Use to an hospital, situated in some town, in' Cornwall, from. which they had come.—(Bear !)—This was not, generally known, but he thoughtit ought rot to be. concealed.
