d OSTA RICA COMPANY.
Advertisement in the " Times" of Saturday, October 2.
The Council feel it their duty.
,EXTRACTS at the same time, to give publicity
to the following
xtract of a Letter addressed by Don Felipe Molina, Minister Ple-
nipotentiary at the Court of St. James's, now at Washington, to
Edward Wallerstein, Esq., the Consul-General of Costa Rica, in
London. Dated New York, September 7th, 1852.
" I received yesterday a letter from Colonel Wright Warren, with
tt ie pamphlet published by the Costa Rica Company, and requesting
Tte to endeavour to have a Provisional Convention held with the
C barge d'Affaires of New Granada, in order that the Company
fight proceed with their undertaking without fhrther impediment.
" Before receiving the letter I had already been acting with this
Vi inv. Mr. Paredes, the new Grenadian Chargé d'Affaires, says,
Mit the Chiriqui Road Grant is absolutely null and void, because
thi; local authority of that Province had no power whatever to en-
t4 3r into a contract of that description ; that Moore, the person to
Vi 'horn the Concession was originally made, applied for a confirma-
tion of the Concession to the Authorities of Bogota, when he (Pa-
re des) was Miuister of the Interior there, and which was then de-
/4ed to him."

(By Order of the Council of Direction),
GEORGE MACONOCHIE, Secretary.

The Directors of the Chiriqui Road Company are fortunately en-
a bled to reply to the above by the following letter :
" To the Directors of the Chiriqui Road Company.
" Gentlemen,—l being the person referred to in the advertisement
or the Costa Rica Company, which appeared in the "Times" of Sa-
to rday I ist, and being at present in London, authorise you most de-
co dedly and distinctly to deny the whole statement so far as my ap-
PlYing to the New Granada Government for confirmation of the con-
es ssion of the grant now held by your Company.
" It would have been an absurdity to do so, for I was aware when
I 'procured the concession from the provincial authorities at David
(Me place of meeting of the Legislature of the Province of Chiriqui)
that such provincial authorities were carrying out the law of the
Congress at Bogota, passed the 3d June, 1848, which law authorised
the authorities at David to grant your concession without its being
necessary to have any confirmation or reference to the Supreme Go-
vern
enmce, I never ent. Never
whaving applied for a confirmation, as a conse-
qu refused. I make this statement in the most
unqualified manner
