" 10 ALL TO WOOM TMf$E 1111013171 MAY COMIC castmo,

The national honour requiring the most punctual payment
of the debts occasioned by the Independent wai, which happily
is approaching its termination, and it being convenient to em-
brace the first moments of tranquillity to reanimate agriculture,
and the operation of the mines, and at once to open the inex-
haustible fountain of public wealth in a country so extraordina-
rily favoured by Nature, it is determined, in order to attend to
such important objects, to raise a Loan in Europe, of the sum
of from two to five millions of pounds sterling; using for that
purpose the special authority and powers with which the Con-
gress has vested me.
0 To carry this into practice with the requisite fornialities, I
have appointed, and by the present full, authentic, and legal,
powers do confer on his Excellency the Vice-President of the
Republic, Francisco Antonio Zea, the appointment of Envoy
Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary, to proceed to Eu-
rope and establish our political and commercial relations, autho-
rising him with full and due powers to negotiate and contract
the said Loan, for the sum which he may judge convenient, pro-
vided it does not exceed five millions of pounds sterling, stipu-
lating the terms and conditions which to him may appear best ;
and applying for the liquidation of the principal and interest thereof
the most productive branches of the Public Revenue ; and, if
necessary, hypothecating lands, mine', and other property of the
State.

" And for the fulfilment of what shall be contracted, agreed,
and stipulated, by his Excellency, the said Minister Plenipoten-
tiary, Francisco Antonio Zsa, relating to the said Loan, I pro-
mise and bind myself, as President of the Republic of Colombia,
specially authorised by the. Supreme National Congress.
" In faith whereof, I give these present; sealed with the
Provisional Seal of the State, at St. Thomas of Angostura, this
twenty-fourth day of December, onselscsosind sight hundred and
nineteen. (Signed) " SIbION BOLIVAR.

ii Be4font, October ft.

" Gemini a'—'The Proclamation issued by theVice-President
of the Republic of Colombia, dated Bogota, the Ist June, to
which you have drawn my attention, has not reached me through
any authorised channel; but Isee no reasoq to doubt its authen-
ticity. I attribute this Proclamation, in fact, to very earnest
representations which I have urged upon the Government on
the necessity of preventing, in future, its powers from being ap-
plied to purposes not within their due scope, and sub-delegated
to other persons not contemplated by the Government.
a In reference to the Loan negotiated with you at Paris, in
March last, I can only refer you to the power deposited in your
bands, signed by the Executive Authority, most complete in Its
form and tenor, and which has never been revoked In the slightest
degree. directly or indirectly.
" Ln unbolt with the power itself, the instructions with whisk
I ant furnished specially direct me to raise a Leen in Europe
whenever it should be practicable, and on conditions which have
not been exceeded in my engagement with you.
" No advice has yet reached me of my dispabeites which an-
nounced the Contract for the Loan baying arrived as Bogota.
" Having in no respect exceeded the powers granted to me
by the Government of Colombia, I have only to add, that the
Government will be found faithful in all respects to the-engage-
Ments I have entered into in its behalf.
4, I have the honour to be, Gentlemen,
" Your most obedient bumble servants

The French Papers of Sunday contain the most

contradictory accounts from the Spanish frontier.—
They agree on one point, that an important engage-
ment had taken.place between the Constitutionalists
and the Insurgents, but the result is very differently
stated. The Quotidienne and the other French Ultra
Journals represent the Insurgents as victorious ; the
evidence, however, inclines towards a very contrary
decision. The following details, from the Journal de
Paris, given in a letter dated Bayonne, October 15,
seem upon the whole the most consistent :
" A traveller, just arrived from Iran, announces
as certain that a decisive affair took place on the 6th
inst. at Castelfollit, between General Mina and Baron
D'Eroles. The Insurgents, it is said, have lost 2000
men as prisoners; the , amount of the killed and
wounded is not mentioned, but it appears to be very
considerable. This news was brought by express to
Pampeluna, and published by the Authorities there.
There were illuminations on the occasion.

" We expect every moment fresh details on the
affair which took place at Berasuain. According to
the account of the Spanish muleteers who came by
that road, the Insurgents left 400 dead on the field
of battle, and 200 prisoners were conveyed to Pam-
peluna. The greatest disorder was in their ranks, and
they took refuge in Irati. It is asserted that a serious
attack will soon be made on this fortress. It is added,
that Zaldivar was completely beaten and his band
entirely dispersed between Villa Martin and Monta-
lano, in the province of Xeres, by two companies of
the Regiment of St. Jago and the Local National
Guard. Pie had 20 men killed and 27 wounded ; and
-except himself and a dozen followers, all the rest of
his troop surrendered at discretion."
The same Paper contains the following paragraph:
" The rumours in circulation yesterday on 'Change,
respecting tie defeat of the Army of the Faith appear
to be confirmed this day. The Regency of Urgel has
been forced to take refuge, as it is said, in France—
and the troops which escorted it have been pursued
sword in hand up to our frontiers. In a few days
we shall probably have exact details of these oc.
currences."

Accounts (min Puycerda announce, that a move-
ment of insubordination had broken out in the troop
of the Rcyalist Chief, Moszx ANTON, at the moment
whets he was evacuating that place. His men re-
fused to be taken to Urgel, fearing lest they should
be shut up within the fort of that town. After a day
or two spent in indecision, they seem to have ob-
tained their object, and to have been marched back
to Puycerda. The following are extracts:
