The town settling give us no reason to alter the
opinion expressed at Doncaster. Two or three parties,
whose deficits are, fortunately, not very heavy, were not
forthcoming, but, in the main, it was decidedly good.
The betting was on too limited a scale to call for any
observations.

SOUTH AMERICA

PROCLAMATION ISSUED BY GENERAL MOS-
QUEIRA. PRESIDENT OF THE RZPUBLIO
OF NUEVA GRANADA, AT BOGOTA, JULY
2. 1846. •

Granadians,—When I entered on the exercise of the

supreme power t-) which I was called by the voice of the
people and votes of the Congress, I found the republic
threatened with disturbances in the south. I took the
oath required by the constitutio,, and I engaged to dis-
charge my duties faithfully, to be guided by the la‘ss,
and to do all the good in my power for the nation. It
has been my constant endeavour to avoid all revolution-
cry contagicn, and, preserving the strictest n•utralitv
in regard to the dissensions prevailing in -the Equador,
to refute by my acts the accusation of being favour the
to the policy of the then existing Government in the
Eqnador.
It, however, our relations with that republic becemp
so complicated as to renler it necessary to apply to
Congress for permission to go to.war in ease they should
not do us justice, I adopted that line of conduct which
had prescribed for myst-lf so soon as I ascertained the
tendency of that regulation, and the nature of the risks
we had to. meet.

The appointment I made of an able and prudent ge-
neral to the command of the first division gave them
to understand that it was not the love of martial glOry
which actuated ma, and the result has corresponded
with my expectation. The present administration of
the Equader, anitnat. d by the most patriotic sentiments,
have investigated and discussed any disputed points with
an interest truly American. Through the medium of a
public functionary and the general commanding in the
south the utmost cordiality prevails at preser.t iu the re
lations between the Columbian states, and peace has
been firmly re established ; both Goverrmeuts have
signified their _ prompt approbation of the conditions
agreed to, in the true spirit of that 'desire to promote the
friendship and union which serves as a basis for interna-
tional communication.

Granadia%s—Peace is serured to us; we have given a
noble proof of our wish to preserve it amongst kindred
nations. I entreat you to t.,rego and forget all grounds
of complaint. Let us, by our conduct and setting the
-xample, effect a complete reconciliation with our bre-
thren of the Equador, so that all doubts may be diAsi-
pated from amongst them of the discontented beim
enabled to occasion disorders under favour of our arms.
This sentiment has operated powerfully on my 'Lied,
and induced me to accept the olive branch of peace held
out on our frontiers by the Envoy of the Equador. It
ought, likewise, to have due weight with you in eradi-
cating all antipathies and sympathies for one or other of
those who were once our fellow-countrymen.
Citizens—The public order is maintained and peace
secured. I call on you to assist me in the important
work of national improvement which I commenced im-
mediately on my assuming the supreme power of the
nation. You all know my administrative programme
in this respect; and I rely on your effective co-operation
in opening channels for the exportation of our produce,
and the exploration of our mines. Steam navigation
will soon be seen on our coasts, and shortly after ex-
tended to the Magdelena. To these improvements the
immigration of useful labour will so ,n follow, when the
national prosprity will he the best guarantee for the
preservation of order and of our independence.
The rights of p-operty shall be respected, and your
personal liberty shall not be viola'ed. Such are the du-
ties of theGosernment and its officials.

The tribunals and magistrates execute the laws
rightly, and we have nothing to wish for i❑ this capital
but that those laws should be made perfect and their
working simplified.

The Zeal which the National Congress displayed in
the session of 1846, with that I shall employ to bring
to completion the useful works I have referred to, will
insure the perfect organisation of civil and criminal
processes in the course of next year.
The important reforms made in the revenue depart-
ments, agreeably to the laws passed on that subject,
have commanded, together with the public works, my
immediate attention, and called to my assistance the
most intelligent of our compatriots, and which was so
necessary to promote the measures I had undertaken
under the sanction, and with the aid of your represen-
tatives.

Fellow-citizens--If at another time I led you, by order
of the then Government, to victory, I now call on you
to march with united energy to a more solid glory, to a
civic victory; that the reconciliation begun by the adtni
nistration of 1841 may be consolidated, that no one may
talk of past troubles, and that all Granadians may hoist
but one standard.

Ir. our fatherland there might not to exist two parties,
one of the conquerors and another of the conquered ;
such have been my sentiments ever since I took charge
of the executive powers, and such should be yours, in
order to furnish proofs of your civilisation. In govern-
ment affairs there should be no dissensions, since the
duties we nave all to perform arc prescribed by the
11ws. and whocver ntre.rupts to injure the working of bur
constitution c.ennot be a, good cit.z,n.
Should think that in the course of my administra-
tion I should not be guided by principles the most expe-
dient and necessary, you can discuss the question through
the much-appreciated liberty of the press, which is duly
respected, and which I am bound to respect. Those
who wish to address any observations to the Government
direct, may rely that they shall be fully considered and
duly investigated, to ascertain if they are just and rea-
sonable. Those gentlemen who have been selected and
appointed to the political and financial de pat tments of
the state, profess the same identical principles set forth
in my messages addressed to the Legislative body; they
are, however, at libery to resign whenever their opinions
do net coincide with those entertained by the Govern-
ment. Should the opposition in the Cortes constitute a
large r majority than that which now supports me, it shall
share in the Government with me, for such is the prac-
tice made perfect by the aspicious representative system
on which our constitution is founded ; by the same rule
I shall continue to nominate and appoint those who exe-
cute the orders of the Executive Government. •

Citizens—Arnwd in defence of your country, you are
distinguished for your love of \order and of liberty ; and
I congratulate you on your having fuifitled the duties
the constitution and the laws impose on you. On a
former occasion I had to appreciate your courage and
your privations. You were my companions on many a
dreary day, but now you are the guardians of your
country's prescribed rights. You have acquired the most
enviable glory, that of citizen soldiers ! . _

On such a solemn occasion as the present, when I
address you in consequence of the public peace being
secured, I consider the present a favourable opp Ttunity
on public gr, unds, to exercise the more agreeable duty
with which the constitution has invested the Executive
Power, that of granting an amnesty to several Gra-
nadians, who, having deserted their duty, offended the
laws. I hope and trust that they will return repentant
to their respective homes, and become as good citizens as
the immense majority of their countrymen.

" Granadiansl I s-aiute you, and repeat the assurance
of being your friend and fellow citizen.
