.COLOMBIA.

Bogota Papers to -till...loth of "Jump have, ar-•
%rived. It appears by official dispatches received from Lima,
that the Congress of Peru had adjourned, leaving Bo c.rvAn in
possession of full powers to act in the manner most likely to
-consolidate the independence 'of' the :country. SUCILE, the
Commander of the Colombian. force, • had forwarded to the
President, as a testimony of the attachment felt for him by the
army, five standards belonging to the oldest of those Spanish
regiments, which for 14 yeatS'im&borne arms against tire in-
dependence of Peru. Among them was the individual standard
with which Przaitho, 300 years before, 'had entered the capi-
tal of the Incas. Intelligence of the formation in England or a
Colombian Agricultural Association had arrived at .Bogota,
previous to which a decree had passed the Congress for the ap-
plicatioh of one million of doilars out of the last loan, for the
improvement and encouragement of agriculture throughout the
republic. We notice in these papers the establishment, for the
firat.time, of horse races at Bogota, after the English manner.
Thy names orColollel CAMPBELL, and of Mr. HENDERSON,

The 0-ace/a de Colombia of the 19th contains a

Among the official documents published'l)7 die
ColonabianGazette, there is a letter from the Governor of CU raqoa
to the Foreign Secretary of the Colombian Republic, announc-
ing the return to that island of Colonel de QUARTEL from his
mission to Bogota. The Governor states that he had informed
the Government of the Netherlands of the result of Colonel de
QUARTEIN negotiations, and that he hopes soon to have the
satisfaction of communicating-the definitive determination of his
Sovereign to enter into negotiations with Colombia. The laws
passed-by-the Colombian Congress, and published-in the official
journal, relate chiefly to local improvements, and a considerable
number have for their object the encouragement of education.
Some disorders have occurred in the province of Pasto, in the
interior—a province which was some time ago in a state of
revolt. After the reduction of the province, some of the insur-
gents fled to inaccessible points, and Agave since harassed the
neighbouring country by their derredutions. It appears, how-
ever, that the local authorities are possessed of sufficient means
for -the suppression of the banditti, and on that account the
Executive Power has recalled a decree by which the province
was placed under nwtial law.
