day) arrived on Tuesday morning at the foreign Office; in.
Downing-street, with the ratification of the Treaty between this
country and the Republic of Colombia. Down to the 13th
article of this treaty, each article stipulates for the same points,,
and in exactly the same order -as the treaty concluded with the
United Provinces of La Plata already before the 'ptrblic. The
14th, with the additional one, we subjoin, apprising our readers,,
that being a translation from the Spanish, they are not-, of
course, exactly conformable to the.original.
" Art. 14. And inasmuch as it is convenient and necessary to
facilitate to the utmost a mutual good understanding between
the two Contracting Parties, and to remove, beforehand, every
kind of difficulty, and that other Articles may be proposed and
added to the present Treaty, which, for the want of time and
the pressure of circumstances, cannot now be drawn up with the
proper precision, it has been agreed, and is hereby agreed, on
the part of both Powers, that they shall mutually endeavour,
with the least possible delay, to treat and agree upon the articles
that may be found wanting in this Treaty, and , which may be
judged mutually advantageous ; and such articles, when t'ley
are agreed upon and duly ratified, shall form part of the present
Treaty of Alliance, Commerce, and Navigation.
Art: 15. The present Treaty of Alliance, Commerce, and
Nav,igation, shall be ratified by the President or Vice-Presi-
dent, entrusted with the Executive Power of the Republic of
Colombia, with the consent and approbation of the Congress of
the same, and by his Majesty the King of the United King.
dom of Oreat Britain and Ireland, and the ratification shall be
exchanged in. London within six months from the present day,
or Sooner if possible. .
" In testimony of which, the respective Plenipotentiaries have
mutually, signed, and sealed these presents.
