COLOMBIAN LOAN.

The CONTRACTORS of this LOAN having re-
ceived many enquiries on the subject of the intelligence receiv-
ed by them from Bogota, by the last Jamaica Mail, as to the
ratihcation of this Contract by the Congress of Colombia, have
thought it right to publish a copy of the notice which they sent
on Thursday morning last to the Foreign Stock Exchange, and
which has only partially appeared in the newspapers.:—
" By the Jamaica Mai , the Contractors of the Colombian
Loan have received letters from their Agent, Mr. JONES, from
Bogota, to the 19th May.
" Mr Jones arrived in that city the 21st of April, and found
the Congress of Colombia sitting. A Committee had been ap.
pointed by the Government for the purpose of receiving the
accounts and documents of which Mr. Jones was the bearer,
and making a report to the Congress thereon : with this Com-
mittee Mr. Jones had held two meetings, viz.—on the 13th and
17th of May ; and he entertained no doubt that the recognition
of the contract for the loan, by the Congress of Colombia,
would be the result.
" Mr. Jones incloses a copy of the Message of the Vice.
President to the Congress, the translation of which has al-
ready appeared."
The whole tenor of Mr. Jorers's communication is of the
most satisfactory nature, and such as to leave no doubt as to the
honourable intentions of the Colombian Government, or as to
the decision to be expected from the Congress. Mr. JONES
states that the whole of the Ministers had " by unanimous con.
sent decided on the recognition of Mr. ZEA's power to raise
the Loan :" that he found on his arrival that the most iniqui-
tous means had been used to produce the most injurious and
unfounded impressions as toMr. ZEA'S financial operations in
Europe ; that these had rapidly disappeared on the produe.
tion of his papers, and the explanations he was enabled' to
afford, and that all the doubt which has apparently been cast
over this transaction, has proceeded from die non.arrival of
Mr. ZEA'S dispatches to the Government, assisted by endea-
vours of the must fradulent nature, to misrepresent its real
character.

JESTY'S marine excursion ; but we believe that
the very unfavourable state of the weather, toge.
ther with some slight remains of indisposition,
has induced his MAJESTY to lay .aside all thoughts
of it for the present season.--(Morning Herald).
