against this conduct, as throwing a fatal obstacle
in,the way of any inal arrangement. Such an
arrangement can only be effectually made by a
Russian Minister at Constantinople ; 1103 the
Emperor Alexander will certainly not send an
Ambassador to be exposed to new insults, and to
begin his mission of peace by remonstrances
against fresh acts of hostility.

DItITIIIII NUM]
It is creditable to the RepUblie of Colombia,
that, with the entire, asurance a, its indepen-
dence, has followed the expected recognition of
the just claims of its, creditors in this country ;
and the Loan made in England for the then
struggling Republic in its hour of peril, is now
confirmed by the Colombiao Congress, when this
great and rising Republic is beyond the reach
of all further hostility. The respectable Con-
tractors for this Loan have receiled a most
satisfactory letter from •theii agent at Bogota,
Mr. Jones, ;fated OW the 91.11 of August, which
will be found in our colunins : it _contains,
on the part of General tiautander,Ahe Vice-Presi-
dent of the Republic, a full and equitable recog-
nition of the loan, as contracted by Mr. Zee ; and it
now only remains for the contractors to prove
that the money was paid by them, for the use of
the Colombian Republic, to Mr. Zen's order, to
ensure the complete recognition. To this de-
sirable consummation we have long looked with
confident hope ; we did not imagine that great
Republic, with the illustrious Bolivar at its head,
would sully its character by disavowing the acts
of its authorised agent, or, after • benefiting in
its day of peril by the aid of its creditors
in England, plunder them after, with a total
want of principle, and deny its contract when
they had profited by it and needed no further
aid. But in truth they do want further assist-
ance, and that has probably tended to secure the
recognition of this loan. The Colombian Con-
gress, the American Papers state, adjourned on
the 7th of July, after ratifying this loan, and au-
thorizing a negociation for another of thirty mil,
lions of dollars, or more than seven millions ster-
ling. England is now the only market open to
the South American Agents for the completion of
such a measure ; and common policy, which pro- I
bably weighed ns strongly as any thing else with
the Congress, demanded, therefore, imperatively,
the recognition of the first loan. The contractors,
after hearing from Mr. Jones, lost no time, of
course, in communicating the gratifying intelli-
gence to the Stock Exchange, and the effect was
electric. Colombian Stock, which at the close of
the market on Thursday was at 59,, rose rapidly,
and, a little after twelve o'clock yesterday, was
so high as 63. The Republic of Colombia is now
free from all hostility whatever, and its indepen-
dence is assured. Accounts from Carthagena to
the 3d of August, state that the province of Gua-
timala had joined it ; thus increasing its vast extent
and influence. It is now by far the greatest of
the Southern Repubtics, and may yet vie with
even North America in power and resources. It
has wisely extended its aid to. liberate Peru,
which the presence of the Colotnbian forces, with
the energetic Bolivar, will soon accomplish. The
trade of these vast and rising republics is of
the first consequence to this country ; and in that
view the recognition of their independence, and
the appointment of Consuls was an act of impera-
tive necessity. The United States are seeking to
conciliate them by every measure in their power;
and France, despairing of measures of open force,
now that this Cabinet is aware of her intrigues, is
(it is said) about to imitate our example, and ap-
point Consuls also : but the enterprize and ca-
pital of our merchants, with only fair protection,
can always secure a preponderance of trade ; and
and these great Republics, every day rising in
civilization' and wealth,nd will affford an

[MORNING HERALD.]
f t gives us much pleasure to perceive Oa,
there is every prospect of Mr. Zea's Loan being
acknowledged by the Colombian RepUblic.—
In another part of our Paper is a letter addressed
to the house of Messrs. Powles and Co. of Free-
man's.court, Coruhill, the Contractors for that
Loan, by the gentleman they sent to Bogota.—
We were always of opinion that this Loan would
he recognised ; on the ground that it was
the interest of that Governme n
ter
recognise
it ; inasmuch, as if for a year or two they
paid the interest, they could then com-
mand the English money market. We have
often asserted, that any. Power, whether
a friend or an enemy, or let,him profess what re-
ligion he may, might borrow almost any sum of
money he pleased. from the people of this court-
try, if for a period of years he had only regularly
paid the interest of previous loans. The Dey of
Algiers, or the 'African Kings who deal in slaves,
could command the Ltndon Foreign, Stock Ex-
change to a large amount, provided they bad
for ten years preceding paid interest regularly
on loans which they had contracted. But
if a nation, however bound, to us . by an-
dent tics, could propose no plausible,security,
or a nation in. the welfare of which we were ever
so much interested, were to falter. in the regular
payment of ,int,erest.for money, borrowed, away
would go the faith of our monied Imo. They
would lend no more money, even though the de.
*traction Of the nation wanting it were to be, the
consequeuce, and that nation were our best, nay,
even our only ally. .We are much pleased the
this loan has ended in this way,
,so far. It
merely to the extent of two millions, the interes
on which was only I to,oow. a. year, which could
be of little coosequence to the Republic of Co-
lombia. Should they continue to meet the payment
ofthe interest fin* two or three years, our opinion
Is that they.inaygetinto the pockets of our money
,
lenders the next time, to the amount of
four millions, and in process of, years become our
debtors to the amount of 20 or 30 millions, or
even more. Should Colombia eventually carry
the thing too far, and, like France and Austria,
at one period of their history,, cease to pay in.
terest, thee, like those powers, they must rub
the debt off their Great Book and begin again ;
for this, individual would. be suffererp. While
foreign loans are proceeding, they di, no, harm, ;
on the contrary, they benefit England 'in

her manufactures. For as we have not gold'
and silver mines wherewith to compass these
loans to foreigners, we are of necessity obliged to
send our goods, which before they can be sent
must be manufactured—and here arises employ-
ment for a great number of people. England
seems to be inu fair way of becoming the world's
annuitants—or, in other words, she is, by means
of the loan system, gradually rendering all nations
her tributaries. The Romans did the same thing
by direct taxation, we do it by indirect taxation.
The difference to foreign nations, however, is
this, that in the case of the Romans, they kept
armies in the territories of their tributaries to en-
force the payment of the taxes
,; but in our case,
these foreign nations can throw oft the payment
of the interest whenever they please. As soon
as the time arrives when these nations cannot or
will not pay us such interest, then it will be a
curious circumstance to ascertain in what manner
individual loss will affect the State generally.—
Bot such a case it is impossible for us to reason
upon ;it has never yet occurred—at least at any
period of time of which we have a record.

TALLEYRAND AND THE DUKE D'ENGHIEN.

The Memoirs of the Duke of Rovioo (Genera,
Savory), formerly Minister of Police under Buonaparte, the
publication of which has for some time been looked forward to
with greet interest in France, have at last issued from the press.
The person who had most reason to dread the appearance of
this work was Talleyrand. It has been said that he waited on
Louis XVIII., and begged of him to interfere to prevent the
publication. His Majesty sent for Savary, and asked to see
his manuscript, which having carefully perused, he returned
to the author, with the observation that he saw, no reason for
withholding the statements from the public. The Quotidienne
or 'Wednesday gives a long extract from this extraordinary
work, which disproves the imputations cast on himself and
Buonaparte respecting the death of the Duke of Enghien, and
leaves, by implication, the odium on Talleyrand. The circum.
stance which induced Buonaparte to order a party of troops to
Ettenheim to arrest the Duke, is stated to be the supposition that
he had been in Peril, arid engaged in the plot with Georges,
Cadoudel, and others. One of the conspirators had stated
in his examination, that a person to whom the greatest re-
spect was shown often appeared among them. The Duke of
Enghien was believed to be this mysterii,us personage, and the
object of his arrest is stated to have been to ascertain that fact
by bringing bins to Paris, and confronting him with the persons
who had been examined. It turned out at last that the person
to whom so much respect was paid was Pichegru. Savary had
nothing to do with the expedition to Ettenheim. He had just
returned from a mission in Nor Mandy, when the Prince was
brought to Paris. Buonaparte sent for him to Malmaison, and
matte him the bearer of a letter to Murat, who was the Gover-
nor of Paris. Talleyrand, the Minister for Foreign Affuirs,
was just leaving sltirat's hotel as Savary entered. Muritt,after
reading the letter, told Savary to hold himself in readiness for
orders, which would be transmitted. He did in fact receive or.
ders to repair at ten o'clock that night with a brigade of infan-
try to Vincennes. It was not until he arrived at this destina-
tion that his orders had any relation to the Duke d'Eng.
hien. The Members of the Military Commission had assem-
bled in the great hall of the Palace. The doors were open,
and any one who pleased might have entered. The Prince
was in the , presence of the Commission when Savory arrived,
and was speaking warmly to his Judges. When pressed fur
an explanation respecting his intentions, he said, "I had
proposed to the English Government to take service in ids
'army, and was answered that it could not be given me, but that
I ought to stop on the Rhine, where I would soon have a part
to perform, and I did stop there. I have nothingmore to say."
When the proceedings were concluded, the hall , was eleerzd,
and the Commissioners continued in deliberation, after which
the sentence was pronounced. The officer. who commanded the
infantry of Savory's Legion then informed him that he was
required to furnish a piquet for the execution of the sentence.
The piquet was accordingly supplied, end the reason the
fosse of the castle was selected for the sanguinary transac-
tion was, that there was the least chance of any other per-
son than the victim being wounded. After the execution
Savary proceeded to Paris, Near the barrier, he met M. Real,
on his way to Vincennen and in his costume of Councillor of
State. Savary asked him where he was going ? He replied,
that he bad received orders to 'go to 'Vincennes to interrogate
the Duke d'Engliien. Savary told the Councillor of State what
had happened, and they were mutually astonished. The cir-
cumstance of meeting T all eyra n d at Murat's now struck
Savary very forcibly, and excited his suspicion of sonic in.
tripe. He hastened to Melmailon, to inform the First Con-
sul of what had taken place. Buonaparte could not con-
ceive it possible that trial and condemnation could have
taken place before the arrival of M. Real. He observed that
Real was ordered to examine the Duke on a point which it was
important to deer up, and concluded by saying—" Here is a
crime which leads to nothing, and tends only to render me
odious." Thus the great object in seizing the Duke d'Enghien,
to ascertain whether tie was the mysterious personage who had
appeared in Paris, was disappointed. Savary says that he was
not to have been put upon trial until he was recognised upon
being confronted with the parties implicated in the conspiracy;
but it was not until after the execution that Picliegra was dis-
covered to be the person alluded to by the witnesses. Real also
had a conference on the subject at Malmaison, and to hint
Buonaparte exoreesell regret at the event, and indignation at the
conduct of '1 alfeyranti. Nevertheless, it was thougnt prudent to
keep secret the circumstances of this extriterdinury case. • The
sentence of the Military Commission was inserted in the 'Me-
niteur, without any explanation. Whether this was done from
pride, or that it sir_ild not appear to Europe at the moment a
e.,:w war was about to commence, that the genes of discord
existed in the country, Savary does not pretend to determine.
Buonaparte, however, long bore all the odium of the trans-
action.

The Hamburg Correspondenten of. the 17th
instant, says—" The day before yesterday, (be-
ing the birth-day of his Royal Highness the Crown
Prince of PRUSSIA), his Excellency, the Prussian
Minister, Count GROTE, Grand Master of the
Wardrobe to the King, gave a splendid enter-
tainment to a large party of distinction in the
great dining saloon of his hotel, in this city. The
company included the Members of the Corps
Diplontatique,-.severat of the Senate, and others
of the first respectability in Hamburgh. The
object was to do honour to the day, and to cele-
brate by anticipation the marriage of his Royal
Highness with the Princess Ermit, of Bavaria.
The, first toast at table given by his Excellency,
amid the sound of kettle-drums and trumpets,
was " His Majesty the King of Panssik ;" then
followed " The Illustrious Betrothed," both
which toasts were. drank with enthusiastic shouts
of applauee, thus offering a convincing proof of
the sentiments of devotion and
.veneration with
which the august House of Brandenburg iS re-
garded inthe ancient city of Hamhtirgh. The
exterior of the Ambassador's Hotel, was brilliant-
ly illuminated, and two transparencies admirably
executed, one in allusion to the Sovereign of
Prussia, (the Spread Eagle, &c.) and the other
