Mr. Samuel Vaughan, Treleach, will shear the Elms, and fur-
ther Particulars may he known, by application to H. llowell, P. q.
S.)licitor, Carmarthen; IL K N. Lee, Esq. Lincaln's-104.11c144;

will observe in this upright proceeding, the principles
and good policy of the Colombian Government: the
former, especially, must perceive that we act with sin-
cerity and good intentions, in the steps we have taken
to incline his Most Christian Majesty in favour of the
Republic, and that we do not attribute to the French
Government the suspicious and treacherous conduct
displayed hy those persons who arrived here in the fri-
gate Tarn, and whose voyage seems to have had lot
its object, a visit to the country merely to pry into the
state of our affairs.
The tranquillity enjoyed by the Republic has enabled
the Executive to make arrangements for the extension
of the new method of instruction in the first rudiments
of learning, for increasing the number of scholan,
establishing new professorships, and reforming some
colleges which still languished under the antient colonial
system of education, and the horrors of the war. The
progress of public education must necessarily be slow,
whilst the funds of the colleges continue so small as
they are at present ; and pet haps we might mistrust
the benefit of the establishments that have been founded,
did we not observe the youth of the country eager to
learn, arid the teachers devoting themselves to public
instruction, without any other incentive than their own
zeal, and resp: ct for their characters. I hope that in the
course of this Session, dorm will be found for digesting
a general plan of study, the want o. which is every day
more sensibly felt.
The project of laws for the political and judicial ad-
ministration of departments,which were laid before the
Executive at the close of the last Session, will be re-
turned to you, with such objections thereto as seem to
me expedient. I will not assert that such objections
ill render these important laws perfect, but your in-
telligenc-, and the time that will be afforded you for
glen dcliberate d.scussion, inspire me with a confidence

I may state to you, that in generial no unfavotirable
change has occurred in the progress and regulaiity of
the constitutional regime. The Authorities daily ie.
spect our institutions were and more; and the citiz-ns
enjoy the free privilege of demanding the falilracot of
the laws. It would indeed he a phenomenon in poli-
tics, if an infant societylikesour's could active at its
height of prosperity, without obstacles and slight oscil.
lations. Colombia has still to experience the effects of
the wanderings of ignorance, and the incessant intrigues
of our enemies ; although it is true, that neither can
impede her advance to that point at which she must
one day arrive. The disturbances in Pastry, 'which, from
the nature of the country; and the character of the peo-
ple, threatened to be of long duration, have subsided;
and the Government has visited them with as much in-
dulgence as was compatible with public security. The
activity and vigilance which suffocated .his germ of
disunion, will do the same on all "ccasinns where de-
luded persons suffer themselves to he-seduced iiito the
commission of disorders. The people desire to live in
peace under protection of the laws, and whilst they
themselves take charge of the public tranquillity, and
support our institutions, the Republic will enjoy inter•
nal quiet, and the standing army will have fewer duties
to discharge.
Our internal commerce requires some regulations, in
order to suppress the abuses committed by nor sailers,
and to protect navigation ; and our commere, carried
on with the coasts inhabited by wandering tribes, re.
quires some special laws, in order to spare the Executive
those embarrassments which it has experienced in this
particular of !ate years. I require from Congress a law
denying letters rf citizenship to individuals of any na.
lion with whom the Republic may be at war. This is
a law to be found in the code of a nation that may be
truly called free, and any demonstration of its necessity
appears to me superfluous.
The exhaustion of the national treasury will continue
to be sensibly felt whilst the payment of arrears falls on
the annuli revenue; and the system continues to pre-
vail of not fixing the public expenses, and providing
correspondent funds for meeting them. To these causes
of fiscal embarrassment may be ad led at presant, the
Inecessity we have been under of increasing the standing
army, with a view of opposing a vigorous tes;stance rn
the hostile undertakings of Spain. I cannot give you
an accurate. idea of the improvement that has been
made in the Treasury department, in virtue of the laws
issued in the last Session, owing to the short period
that has elapsed since their publication. The Execu-
tive has given that tone and impulse that were so es.
isentially wanted in the general administration. The
'Custom-houses and Treasuries of I)epartmen 5, always
consulting however the strictest economy, I hope that,
in the course of the present Legislature, you will digest
a systematic arrangement of the tithe rents, a reform in
the law of direct contribution, and such other objects as
the Executive will point out to you in virtue of the pri-
vilege it derives from the Constitution to that eff_ct.
The various and unpleasant questions that were agi-
tated regarding the loan of March, 1622, have been set
at rest in a manner satisfactory to the parties and ho-
nourable to the Republic. For this purpose the Exe-
cutive had recourse to the powers granted by yru i r the
act of the Ist of July, 1829, and the result shall be in
due time laid before you. The Congress must be highly
gratified its learning that our conduct in this transaction
bas met with the general approbation of those respect-
able persons in foreign countries, who were best able to
.appreciate the difficulties which enveloped it.
I shall, likewise, give you a most circumstantial ac-
'count of the mode and the terms on which the loan de-
creed on the 30th of June of last year, hits been raised.
To those who are acquainted with the histories of other
nations, the conditions of this loan have appeared
highly favourable. The Executive has observed that its
agents have confined themselves to the in.trucians
they received on leaving the capital: their opera.ions
have been conducted under the eye and direcoon Of
the Colombian Minister in London, and the cat..luto
this public functionary has obtained the applau.e of .11
who have observed him narrowly. It has beet a source
of great satisfaction to the Executive, that the new
Loan was not negociated until the question of the old
one had been satisfactorily disposed of; and the conse-
quence was, that the former was contracted un...:er tl e
most favourable circumstances, which, by having been
taken advantage of at the moment, saved us from the
burthensome conditions to which we must, ctherwi,e,
have submitted. You will examine the d: cuments
which will be presented to you with accuracy and dis-
cretion,and you will receive all the necessary informa-
tion thereon from the Secretary of the Treasury, since
iu this examination are comprised the imere,ts o: ow
constituents, the honour r.f the Government, and the

It is essential to the public prosperity and nati )nal

funding the national debt. Every year that passes ac-
cumulates fresh embarrassments in this particular for
the succeeding ones. The debt embraces rations

necessary that a classification of those periods be made,
as well as provision for the punctual payment of the
