TRADE WITH COLOMBIA.

Sitt.—l have the honour to transmit to you; for
the information of the merchants and ship-owners
engaged in the trade of Colombia, an extract of IL
Decree, establishing Buenaventura into a free port.
—The future advantages to be derived by British
trade from an intercourse with this now insignificant
and miserable place, would be by an exchange, free
from all duties, of British manufactures for the pto-
duce of the. province (which abounds in mines of
oro corido, or gold-washings), and that of the rich
but distant vallies of Popayan and the Canca. This
produce would consist of sugar, cocoa, coffee, the
Pitoyo bark, and fine woods, but the return in these
articles must not, for some time, be considered
equal to anything like an extensive importation.—
The Bay of Buenaventura is exceedingly spacious
and secure ; the channel of entrance to it, however,
having only nine feet at low water, and 24 feet of
depth at high water, while the depth of water in
the bay runs from 27 to 50 feet.
Vessels visiting this port ought to be coppered,
as a protection against the Brows, or ship-worm,
common to this as to many other ports of the Pa-
cific.—l have the honour to be, &c.

the negotiations, and that he seems disposed to
listen to the proposals of the three Powers. Mer-
chants from Odessa announce, that according to ac-
counts from Constantinople of the 16th, the Porte
nad.accepted, or was to accept, the armistice.—

EXTRACT OE A PRIVATE LETTER FROM BARCELONA, OCT. 3.

" PARIS, OCT. 16.—A correspondent at Tarragona
writes to us—' The insurgents who return to Reus
successively deliver up their arms : 400 of them
came first; more arrived since.
" Father Punal had sent expresses in various di-
rections to those columns of the rebels whom he
believed inclined to submit. He assured them that
it was not the King who had arrived at Tarragona.
He begged them to defer their submission till a co-
lam!' of 15,000 men, which lie said he expected
from Tarragona, should have arrived. It is be-
lieved here, and the sanding of the expresses has not
been, without effect.

" Last night, however, it was reported the
Uranete, one of the chiefs of the rebels of the plain
of Tarragona, had sent his band to Rens, that be
would present himself to-day, and that Father Panel
was arrested. According to the reports which were
in circulation yesterday, the pacification'of the plain
of Tarragona was considered as greatly advanced.
"'The King went yesterday on foot from the
Episcopal Palace to the Cathedral, to hear Te Deuni
performed.
" It is evident that the faction is becoming more
peaceable in the plain of Tarragona. 'This morning,
at 10 o'clock, the artillery had received above 1,400
muskets. His Majesty has given an audience to the
Marquis de Campo Sagrado, with whom he had
above au hour's conversation, and every thing indi-
cates that it is the King's intention speedily to take
the measures necessary to re-establish peace in his
kingdom."
The Duke de San Carlos, Ambassador from
Spain, to the Court of France, has arrived at Paris.
The Court of Assizes at Paris passed sentence,
at one o'clock in the morning. Joseph Contra-
fatto was condemned, on the finding of the Jury, to
hard labour for life, to the pillory, and to be branded.
(From the ConstitutionneL)
MADRID, OCT. 7.—Every day we receive fresh
details respecting the rapid journey of his Majesty.
'On his arrival at Alginete, the populace shouted
" Death to the Corregidor ;" the King asked the
Cause of this cry, and was informed that the Corre-
gidor had been one of the national militia, that he
was a negro (a Spanish radical), and that he kept
several Royalists in prison. The King ordered the
curate of the village to take informations on the sub-
ject. The curate Justified the conduct of the people.
His Majesty then asked if there was a respect-
able civilian in the. town; and an advocate being
pointed out to him, he ordpred that he should im-
mediately fill the place of the Corregidor; that the
latter should be imprisoned, and that proceedings
should be commenced against him. This decision of
the King was extremely gratifying to the people,
who immediately shouted " Long live the King."
General Iranzo, Lieutenant of General Longa, the
Captain-General of the
_Province, having gone to
meet his Majesty, the King demanded whether the
city was tranquil ? and M. Iranzo having answered
him in the affirmative, his Majesty spoke to him of
the disturbances of the day preceding, in the course
of which seditious cries similar to those of Catalonia
were heard, adding, even, that white ribands were
worn in the hats in the same way as among the se-
ditious Catalonians. Iranzo satisfied the King by
assuring him that the people would be tranquil, and.
that proper measures had been taken for that pur-
pose. The municipality pledged itself to this effect.
Finally, before the entrance of his Majesty, orders
were issued, declaring severe penalties on all who,
during the King's entrance, should raise any other
cry than that of ;Jive to Roi; After the adoption of
these precautionary measures, the King entered
Valencia.

BARCELONA, OCT. 6.—The insurgents continue
to lay down their arms in that part of Ca-
talonia, which borders on
the other points towardi which the troops
from the interior are marching ; but they do not ap-
pear to pay much respect to the commands of the
King in the north of the province, at the blockade
of Gerona, or in the environs of Barcelona. On the
3d instant
a party of 15 'insurgents were at Molini-
de Rey, the principal stage from Barcelona on the
road to Madrid : there they levied a contribution,
and retired. Thisame day they quietly levied another
contribution at Badalona, two 'cages north of Bar-
celona. They have, however, abandoned the post
near the sea, and have gone towards the mountains;
but they have not gone far off, for yesterday a party of
14 presented themselves at St. Paul, a commune in
the environs of Mataro,and imposed a contribution.
The Governor of Mater° being informed of.the cir-
cumstance, sent a detachment in pursuit : an en-
gagement ensued, in which two of the insurgents
were killed, and six were taken. The others es.

caped.
These bands would not venture upon such at-
tempts if the inhabitants were allowed to carry arms,
or if those who were the secret instigators of those
disturbancei were not in dread of a speedy arrival of
a day of vengeance and retaliation.
It is believed that when his Majesty shall have
quitted Tarragona, the proceedings of the chiefs of
the insurrection will re-commence. The Secretary
of the Junta of Regency of Manresa has made his
submission, and has transmitted some extremely im-
portant documents. It is confidently repoi red that
the heads of religious houses have received orders
to repair to Tarragona, where the Bishops of the
Province have already arrived. It is said that the
