COLOMBIA.

Extract of a letter, dated Bogota., May 15:—" 1 have received
yours of the 15th of February, announcing the failure of B. A.
tioldschmith and Co. and the fatal consequences of that event to the
credit of the Republic of Colombia, and have to mention to you, in
confidence, that 1 have had several conversations with the Minister
of Finance on that subject. I just now saw him again, respecting
the payment of the interest of the loans trade in London, as well by
Zeit as by B. A. Goldschtnidt and Co.R and be assured me that the
owns would be paid. Dlr. Hurled° had orders to pay the sante out
of the Peruvian Loan, if negotiated (as Peru owes money to Co.
!Gelb's), or from the funds still in the hands of Mr. Burtado.
Independently of this source, the Government authorised him to
I take steps in hoodoo, even at a considerable sacrifice, for the pay-
ment of the interest, in cue the loan for Peru could not be nego-
tiated, and that the funds already in his hands were insufficient for
I the purpose. By the accounts from London of the 15th of Febrn.
ary, the Government being informed that Peru could not negotiate
a loan, and that the funds which were in the hands of Mr. 11 urtado
had been left by Ilion at the disposal of Messrs. B. A. Goldschtuidt
and Co. and that in consequence thereof the Government c,,nnot
calculate on any of those aunts, has resolved to send immediately
300,000 dollars in speck, and as much Verities tobacco as can pod.
sibly be collected, to London, and to continue so to do, in order to
secure, at all events, the payments of the interests of the sari 3 loans,
for the two instahnents of which one will be due this year, and one
in the beginning of the next. That is to say, to send at last
2,000,000 of dollars for that purpose to London. This is the bun
And decided intention of Oovemittent.
" I have also to observe, that Congress in now diicusiiing a de-
cree, by which every person, agreeably to his fortuoe and circuit.
stances, will itninethately advance, as a patriotic contribution, (tem
1.000 to 2,000 donors, which sum sill be deducted from the contri-
butions which they will be liable to be called on to pay hereafter.
I believe that this will produce in a short time some millions of
dollars. This measure is the necessary consequence of the late
events in London, and its success will prove that the Colombian
people will assist the Government in fulfilling the payment of the
1 interest fur the loans obtained In London."

The state of our own manufactures seems to have hatlan
effect upon the rising establishments of other countne.
The extremely low prices at which manufactured goats
have been selling here have, in spite of the protecting
duties, freight, &c., driven the American cottons out of the
market. The manufactories in Rhode Island and other
places were, it is said, on the point of being abandoned,
from the inability of the owners to work them to ad..
vantage.
