BOGOTA.

The Bogota Constitutionnel of the 23d of November
contains the account of the presentation of the Envoys
from the United States, Great Britain, and Mexico, to the
President Bolivar. The following was the Address of
Colonel Campbell, the British Minister, with the reply of
the President :

" Sir—lt is with a high feeling of pride and satisfac-
tion that, in the execution of my public duty, I have to
congratulate your Excellency on your return to your na-
native country—to that country to which your Excellency
has rendered such great and eminent services, and wherein
the name of your Excellency stands deservedly synony-
mous with that of Liberator and Father of your country.
" I must, however, regret, that the high honour of con-
gratulating your Excellency on your arrival has not fallen
to a person of higher diplomatic character than myself ;
such would have been the case, had not the health of Mr.
Cockburn, the gentleman accredited by the King, my
master, as Envoy Extraordinary, and Minister Plenipoten-
tiary to the Government of Colombia, obliged him to re-
turn from Carthagena.
" The warm interest which my Government has ever
evinced in the welfare of Colombia, and its high apprecia-
tion, in common with every Englishman, of the public
conduct and great achievements of your Excellency, will
have caused it deeply to lament the dissensions which have
lately so unhappily prevailed in some parts of Colombia :
but, Sir, I trust that these evils are only momentary, and
that the presence of your Excellency, followed as it is, by
the love and high respect borne toward your Excellency
by all classes in this country, and the unbounded confi-
dence which all good Colombians must feel in the mea-
sures emanating from your Excellency, dictated as they
ever have been by the purest patriotism and warmest inte-
rest in the welfare of your country, will soon bestow in-
ternal tranquillity, re-establish public credit, and be the
harbinger of the return of national prosperity.

" Allow me, Sir, to express my delight at seeing your
Excellency in the Presidential Chair, and my hopes that
the administration of your Excellency may be as perma-
nently beneficial to your country as your fondest wishes
could desire.

I have the honour to present to your Excellency a
letter from his Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for
Foreign Affairs, which was intrusted to Mr. Cockburn
to deliver, but which honour, from the illness of that gentle-
man, has now devolved upon me."
To which his Excellency replied--" That from no other
agent could he have received with more pleasure this con-
gratulation, in the name of his Britannic Majesty, than
from the person who was one of those that carried into ef-
fect the solemn act which sealed the friendship now exist-
ing between the Republic of Colombia and Great Britain.
His Britannic Majesty had been pleased, in addition, to
confer the particular distinction upon him of presenting
him with his Majesty's picture, which he should preserve
as a proof of his esteem, as a testimony of the generous
friendship he dispenses to Colombia, and as the likeness of
a Sovereign who, after having persevered in his resistance
to the despotism of the Usurper of Europe, presents him-
self as the protector of the liberties of that quarter of the
world : and he should say of Mr. Canning, that he was
worthy of such a sovereign, and that lie should always
have to remember the share he had in the determination of
the British Cabinet towards America. He begged Col.
Campbell to make known to the British Government the
profound feelings of admiration he entertained for the great
Monarch and the great people who employed the omnipo-
tence of their arms in the promotion of freedom."
Col. Watts, Charge d'Affaires from the United States
of North America, was then presented to his-Excellency,
when he pronounced the following speech :
"As the representative of the United States of Ame-
rica, I congratulate your Excellency on your return from
Peru to the Capital of Colombia. I have witnessed the
joy and the gratitude of the Colombians in seeing your
Excellency once more among them. Enjoying the bles-
sings of freedom, they are not insensible to the sufferings
nor to the sacrifices of their deliverers. They offer their
tears and their joy for your pains and your triumphs. The
names of Bolivar, of Washington, and of Columbus, will
ba inscribed in the imperishable records of American
history. The deliverance of your country was the de-
sign of your youth when you were studying in Europe,
but you have accomplished more. The battle of Lex-
ington, in the North, begae—the field of Ayacucho, in
the South, finished the revolution. From the Carri-
bean sea to the distant shores of the Pacific, you have
broken the chains of despotism,and given freedom and peace
to three nations, and have acquired a just title to the admira-
tion of the sons of Colombia, Peru, asd Bolivia. It be-
longs to them to chew themselves worthy of so valuable a
gift—the rank of free men. To the natives, bent under the
yoke and dragging on a life of captivity and dishonour since
the days of the conquest, you have given liberty. They
now breathe the air of heaven, and are allowed to look on
the light of day. Among the distinguished trophies of
the arms of Colombia, we behold in this capital the royal
standard of Pizarro, and the diadem of the last of the
Incas, sent hither by the youthful and intrepid Sucre, from
the ancient city of Manco Capac. I was wrong in declaring
that the field of Ayacucho terminated the revolution. You
had still awaiting you the siege of Callao, the last retreat
of despotism.—Though deprived of every succour, the
infatuated Rodil continued faithful to his master—pesti-
lence and hunger attacked his garrison ; the old man and the
youth, the mother and the infant, perished together. Rodil
looked on the desolation, feared, capitulated, and Peru was
free. Suffering humanity raised herself from the dust, and
saluted you, her Deliverer. Such virtues, such a man, de-
serve all the lore of my country. I have the honour to
express to your Excellency, that the most perfect good faith
subsists between the United States and Colombia. It is
the desire of my Government to strengthen these relations,
by sending Ministers to the confederate Congress of the
American Republics—a Congress which owes its exist-
ence to your Excellency—a Congress whose object is to
promote Constitutional principles—to enhance the dignity
and happiness of man.—The Minister of the United States
resident in this capital, who has so greatly contributed to
the friendly relations of the two countries, and who re-
ceived the additional proof of the honour and confidence of
his Government, by being nominated one of the Plenipo-
tentiaries in the Congress of the American States, died
at Carthagena, on his way to Panama. By the death of
that Envoy, whom we this day deplore, the United States
have lost a distinguished and faithful servant, and the Ge-
neral Congress an auxiliary, as able as he was zealous. I
conclude, by offering to your Excellency, the congratula-
tions of my Government and of my country."
To this the Liberator replied—
" I receive with the greatest pleasure the congratula-
tions which you, Sir, as Charge d'Affaires of the United
States, have addressed to me in the name of the Govern-
ment, and of the Nation, to which you belong. These are
so much the more satisfactory, insomuch that the United
States of America were the first who sent a Plenipotentiary
to Colombia—insomuch, as they have given, and still give,
an example to the Nations—they who have combined the
utmost sum of social happiness to the power which good
order and civil liberty bestow. The United States, the
children of England, were the first to point out to us
the path that led to independence, and this land,
which has the glory of having
.been first discovered
by' the great Columbus, places its happiness in irni-

wing the examples of glory, of liberty, and of virtue, 1
which it receives from the United States. Colombia
appreciates them, as the most salutary lessons of ad-
vice. I must here express my personal gratitude for the
invaluable gift which has been presented to me by the
august family of Washington, in the portrait of that most
holy of men. That inestimable present I shall ever pre-
serve near my heart, to teach me lessons of moderation and
patriotism. I beg of you, Sir, to be the organ of my sen-
timents to the Government of your happy nation, to ex-
press the desire of Colombia to cultivate with it relations
of the strictest and most sincere friendship, and the admi-
ration and respect which are felt personally towards your
Illustrious President,
whose opinions respecting the Ame-
rican Congress give it a solemnity which it had no right
to hope."
When his Excellency had finished, the Diplomatists
present remained some time in conversation with hini, and
then retired, amidst the immense crowd, which was pre-
sent at the introduction.
