skylso,oool.—The next is, the amount of supplies actually
takee to account by the Government shipped by the Contrac-
tors, Included in their item fbr Supplies, Charger and Orders of

a shameful deception to amalgamate all these together in one.
sum. It is high time that the public should see this account'
analyzed, and know what amount has been really accepted. It is.
an undoubted fact, that the ship Charles was sent bank tothis.
country,— and equally so that the ship Constantine (afterwards'
called the Congress,) if accepted at all, was accepted on terms of
anew arrangement. It is stated in the Baltimore Papers, that
she was-found so bad as to be .14 only asa guard-ship. It
is the bounden duty of the Contractors to give, as it is
of the Public to demand, a clear explanation, that they may
by investigation come to a probable estimate of these mis-
called Bonds. The real facts are entirely unknown to the
Public generally even now,—the more shame to those
who have kepi up the delusion. This sum of 354,500/. charged
to the 'Colombian GovernMent. as supplies, &c. &c., I hesitate
not to say will be found not to substantiate a claim to one-half,
I might safely say one-third, of it amount,. and 'tlitis the
whole claim on the Colombian Government, taking the
vort flattering view, will not exceed 400,0091. The sum here,
(if it be radii, Prtheonting.) is stated to be, .balance of prin-
cipal
about 172,0001.--ttn4 reserved of the principal for two
further dividends, 120,000L—making a gross total of 690,0001.,
ray 761,0004 to be divided, when adjusted, on the two millions
of Bonds. Let the public mark, and they will see, in the
.end, if this is not a flattering statement. If it is otherwise,.
let the Contractors prove it on oath.—Those who have flat-
tered thetnielves that either the timidity or the weals of the
Colombian Government could induce them to vnive all ob-
jections to this (as they call It, " scandalous transaction,")
have wilfully shut their eyes to reason : they would neither
hear nor read any thing of thertnith, whether put fbrward
by you, Mr. Editor, or conveyed in Mr. REVENOA% cautions
in his correspondence, or in the 'clear expose giyen in the
Pamphlet') intituled " Letters to the Contractors," and "This
Contractor unmasked." Perhaps all these
,will be looked
to now. They would hear nothing.. .theiymust listen now.—
The Government (after nine months' information and attention
to the subject, subsequent to Saw.rakarnil's Proclamation,)
say that they' are inflexibk; and the Bond-holders may depeptt
that they will find them so; the sooner, therefore, they call fbr
the 'accounts in detail, the sooner they will have some notion of
Xheir true situation, and the world will at length, when the
whole particulars are stated, see this transaction in its true
'colours. am, Sir, &c. &c.

Sept. 4, 1823. VERITAS.
P.S. It has heen said that already, even„last year, a great
part, nay even the whole, of Zea's 10 per Ce4,debentures,
amounting to 775,0001., had been admitted by the Government,
and a large part passed the Board of Liquidation. Of this
"Falsehood the following statement, from the Official Report of
the Board to slat Dec. 1822, is sufficient proof.,.The following.

'parties here, Jamaica creditors, and also credifora from 'the

THE MAnkrti.Reaxxci.--,AcCou'nts 'from Ma.
Arid through, Bayonne bring a Copy of the fol.
lowing Circular, adtriesseo by,the rebel Regency
to all the. Amhalsadors and diplomatic .Agents,
'4l the del3arttire of their President the Duke of
INFANTA DO, and their Foreign Minister. It is
as follows:
" Excellent Sir—The Regency of .the kingdom, desiring
that at the happy moment of the deliverance of the Klug our
august Sovereign, there may be near his Majesty a person of
high character to congratulate. him, and pay him homage in
the name of his Royal- Highness, their Serene Highnesses have
resolved that for this purpose the Duke of Infantado shall re-
pair to Andalusia, accompanied bir Saez, the Chief Mini:.
ster. In consequence of this determination, their Excellencies
have set out this morning according to the orders of theli Serene
Highnesses, of which I have the honout to inform yoUr Ex-
cellency-The Palace, Aug. 19, 1823."

An article dated Bayonne states—". That
1,200 Constitutional troops, coming from Estre-
'madura, had pushed forward a reconnoitring
party us far as Valmajado, five leagues from
Madrid, on the 20th of August. They afterwards
took the•road to Segovia. A strong French Co.
lumn' has gone from Toledo in pursuit of them,
but It seems not likely that it will be able to
overtake them. The French cavalry which pit*
at the Pardo bad returned to Madrid, and,that
place was immediately occupied by the column
of General ,Castel dos Rios; which makes it, pre-
sumed that there must necessarily be a secret
convention between that General and the Mar-
shal 'Duke of •Reggio it was even reported that
that General would very soon enter Madrid.",

withstanding the unhesitating tone in which Mr.
H. advances his pretensiohs, and the mass of testi-
monials and other documeptary evidence hp
which they are supported,,,we confess that we
are rather sceptical on Oa subject. We purpose,
however, to attend the 14ecture, ancl,to give a
rigid examination- to the practical development

promises of its projector, deServes to be encourag-
