by the Government of Colombia, in consequence of the-
insurrection in Venezuela, I beg you will be pleased to
make the same known, in the usual manner, for the idol,ms
motion of the Merchants ; and also, that I some time since
directed the senior Officer to windward to pay every at-
tention to the protection of the persons and properties of
the British Merchants resident in the said Province. —I
have the honour to he, Sir,
" Your most obedient humble servant,

" The Department of Venezuela being de facto out of
the pale of the Constitutional obedience to the Executiv*
Power of the Republic, the Government is not responsible'
for the security of the persons or 'properties of foreigners
residing in it, or who might go into it during the present

crisis."

Application having
.been made to the undersigned for
information on the subject of the expected remittances from

M. Hurtado desires to lay before the public the .following
statement of facts
Having received advices from his Government that
million of dollars were about to be shipped at Carthage*
ing,. on Saturday last, called upon
for the payment of the dividends, and Mr. Hendricks bar:
Twickenham, and requested to be allowed to effect
of the insurance, the undersigned, on coming to Ps" of

SS, Portland-place, Oct. 12.
We shall only offer one remark. We conceive
that it was M. HURTADO'S bounden duty, on receipt
of advices from his Government, that this sum in
their anxiety
dollars was about to be shipped, to give immediate And
public notice of such information ; the honour of his
Government was at stake, and he ought to have has-
tened to redeem it from the imputations, and charge
of insolvency, which it laboured under. This course
was also due to the holders of the Securities of his
Government here, who should have been relieved from
announcement of 50 important a ciTCUOlstanea, which
would have prevented many from selling their Bonds
thrown with the least possible delay, by,a public
under ignorance of it : and it was no less due to M•
HURTADO'S own character, which would thus hoe
been saved from the imputations and insinuations
out against it, in consequence of his having
neither publicly announced the fact, nor sacredlY kept
it in his own bo.som.
