COLOMBIA.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sift,—Permit me to •add a few remarks to those
you very judiciously made the other day respecting the
Colombian Loan, in answer to an article in the
Mornin Herald of the 18th ultirtio
The circumstances Which have prevented the punctual
payment by Colombia of the Dividends of the Loans,
are too public and notorious to require fresh explana-
tion.
.It was not upon the raising of a new Loan, that
the Colombian Government calculated at all to pay
the dividends on the 15th of July; but they had made
other .arraiigements for that purpose, which have been
rendered unavailable by events that could not be fore-
seen. Mr. Hnrtado has explained this in an adver-
tisenient inserted. in several Newspapers, about the
middle of last Month, and the efforts of the Colombian
Government and Congress, have completely justified
the promises made by the Minister of the good faith of
his .Goyernment.

• The long and expensive war which Colombia has
sustained for the last 14 years, and which has:ulti-
mately insured the independence of the whole con-
fluent of America, could not be carried on without
Other resources but those of the country, which was,
now in the possession of the Spaniards, then in that
of patriots, alternately, and of course the more
exhausted of means on that account. In those times
contracts were made to furnish provisions and arms,
,and the parties who undertook to .supply them took
care
.to charge for them such terms as would
compensate for the risk they ran, and for the time they
were aware they had to wait for the payment. How-
ever 49 soon as the Loan was effected in London, the
first care of the Colombian Government, was to pay to
their foreign Creditors, not only the total amount of
their demands, but also the interest of 5,6, 7,8, 16,
and as much as 12 per cent. interest for the time elapsed.
And if it is considered that the real debt of
,Colombia has been converted into the Loan of 1824 ;
that out of the same funds have been defrayed the
expences of the war in Peru, which opulent country
has acknowledged a debt of more than four
millions of dollars to Colombia ; if we further
consider that Colombia contains the' richest mines of
gold in the world ; that her territory. is one of the most
fertile and best situated of all the American continent ;
that on the approaching Congress at Panama, the
Representatives olCalombia will not fail to obtain an
indemnity froM the sister republic, for the enormous
expences they have defrayed to support the common
cause, while the other estates were groaning in the chains
of their oppressors : if, on the other hand, we Contem-
plate without prejudice the active measures which
the Legislative body and the Government are taking
in order to remedy the present einbarrassment,'we may
say with some foundation, that We hope the Editor of
the Morning Herald is much mistaken in- his prog-
nostication, 'that the dividends will not he paid for ten
or perhaps twenty years to come.
The situation of the Bondholders is certainly a very
lamentable one ; but if we take into consideration the
fatal events that have taken place for the last ten
months, and the impossibility in which the Colombian
Government was, either of farseeing them, Or of avert-
ing their consequences, and keeping in mind the good
faith evinced in all their previous transactions, which
have been confirmed by public decrees, we shall see
less reason to complain, and much more to hope, that
the day is not far distant, when the Colombian Bond-
holders shall be satisfied, and that the credit of the
New American States, in general, will be placed again
in as favourable a footing as it has been,
I 'am, Sir,
Your obedient servant, •
London, Aug. 2I). A FRIEND TO COLOMBIA.
