Extract of a letter from Carthagena, dated the
9th of April :—" An extraordinary courier has just
arrived from Rio de la Hache, bringing the import-
ant news of the acknowledgment 'by the United
States of the Independence of the Republic bf Colcim-
bia. Our Governor-Oeneral, Montillo, means to
proclaim this intelligence untie people to-morrow by
the firing of cannon, icc. The American squadron
in the Pacific Ocean, consisting of the Franklin, 74. a
frigate, brig, and schooner, are going to call at Pa-
nama the latter end of May or beginning of June.
The recognition by.the United States of the Repub-1
lie of Colombia, will have an important effect, in the
present state of affairs in Mexico, more especially as
the Spanish Cortes have recently declared the Treaty
between General O'Donoju and the Mexican Chief
fturbide, null and void. It is highly probable that
the views of Iturbide and his party will be entirely
changed, and that Mexico and Guatemala will fol-
, low the same political course as the Republic of
;Colombia."
