COLOMBIAN LOAN.

The Contractors of this Loan having received
many inquiries on the subject of the intelligence re-
ceived by them from Bogota, by the last Jamaica
Mail, as to the ratification of this Contract by the
Congress of Colombia, have thought it i ight to
publish a copy of the notice which they sent on Thurs-
day morning last to the Foreign Stock Exchange,
which has only partially appeared in the Newspapers.
" By the Jamaica Mail, the Contractors of the Colombian
Loan, have received Letters from their Agent, Mr. Jones, from
Bogota, to the 19th of May.
" Mr. Jones arrived in that city the 41st of April, and found
the Congress of Colombia sitting. A Committee had been ap-
pointed by the Government for the purpose of receiving the
accounts and document of which M. nes was the bearer,
and making a report to the Congress thereon. With thin Com-
mittee Mr. Jones had held two meetings, via.--on the 13th and
17th of May, and he entertains no doubt that the recognition of
the Contract for the Loan, by the Congress of Colombia, would
be the result."
" Mr. Jones incloses a copy of the message of the Vite-
President to the Congress, the translation of which has already

appeared." -
The whole tenor of Mr. Jones's communication is of the
most satisfactory nature, and such as to leave no doubt as to the
honourable intentions of the Colombian Government, or as to
the decision to be expected from the Congress. Mr. Jones
states, that the whole of the Ministers had, by unanimous
consent, decided on the recognition of Mr. Zea's power to raise
the Loan ;" that he found on his arrival the most iniquitous
means had been used to produce the most injurious and un-
founded impressions as to Mr. Zeas financial operations in
Europe: that these had rapidly disappeared on the prsuction of
his papers, and the explanatioes he was enabled to afford : and
that all the doubt which has apparently been cast over this trans-
action, has proceeded from the non-arrival of Mr. Zea's dis-
patches to the Goveinment, assisted by endeavours of the
most fraudulent nature to misrepresent its real character.

The very-pompous manner in which the Courier,
on Saturday, announced the meditated retreat of the
French from all the points they occupy in the Pepin:
sula behind the Ebro, and the confidence with which
the intelligence was declared to be authentic, has in-
volved that Journal in a controversy with the New
Pines, which insinuated that the authentic intelli-
gence of the Courier was written with a view to af-
fect the Funds. Such an imputation on the Courier,
above all other Journals, was not to be borne, and
the Editor repels it with indignation.
In the Suers of yesterday, we gave an unqualified
contradiction to the " authentic intelligence" of the Cou-
rier, and we again repeat that the French Government
has no intention of withdrawing its armies behind the
Ebro, whatever it may be compelled to do in case of
reverses. The Courier last night returns to the subject,
and boasts much of the fidelity of its intelligence, but
gives no facts in support of its statements of Satur-
day, though in denying the imputation of its having
inserted it for stock-jobbing purposes, it does not af-
ford that Edaircissement which, in a point of so much
importance is desirable, and which we know it could
give as to the source whence it derived the intelligence
Some of our contemporaries, deceived by the va-
pouring of the Courier, and the ostentatious manner
in which it announced that the French Armies were
about to withdraw from Madrid and Cadiz, ventured
to assert that Ministers had received the intelligence;
and, indeed, it was evident that the Courier wished
it to be understood as derived from that source, which
we know it was not. How it was obtained is a ques-
tion which we shall not afford the clue we possess to
unravel, though we can assure our Readers that there
is a little curious secret history connected with it.

This forenoon we received a Hamburgh Mail, with
Papers to the 23d inst. and a Dutch Mail, with Pa-
pers four days later ; but they possess little interest.
The first paragraph, we are happy to find, will allay
the uneasiness so long and so feelingly expresied by
the Morning Chronicle, respecting the movements of
the Austrian army. The following are extracts :

VIENNA, JULY is.

left the kingdom of the Two Sicilies in the spring,
