THE COLOMBIAN LOAN.

h •

Intelligence of a more satisfactory nature than has
hitherto been received has reached town, relating to the
Colombian Loan, by the Jamaica Packet, which arrived
this morning, and landed passengers. By this convey-
ance the Contractors have received letters fictm their,
agent at Bogota, dated the 19th ult. announcing,
that the Act of the Congress of Columbia, on the
subject of the Loan, had passed in the form in which
it was presented. Previous to this, Mr. JONES had
addressed a letter to the Vice-President, General SAN•
TANDER, as the Executive Power, stating that cer-
tain indirect rumours led him to fear that the Re-
solutions adopted by the Congress, relative to the
Loan, might pot satisfy the hopes of the persons inte-
rested. In answer to this letter, Mr. Junes received the
following communication from the Minister of Finance.

(COPY)—REPUBLIC OF COLOMBIA.
4' Office of Secretary of State, Bogota, July 13, 1833.
" To Mr. Joxis,

" His Excellency the Vice-President of the RepuLlic, acquaintcl
with the representation that you adtlres.ed to him on the 7th
of the present month, manifesting that certain indirect intelligence
leads you to fear that the determination adopted by the Congress'
relative to the affair of the loan of the 13th March, 1822, may not
satisfy the hopes of those interested, and stating to him hereupon
the observations that have occurred to you; he desires me to an-
swer, that the executive power will arrange this business to the
satisfaction of the contractors and with honour to theltepublie.

EXPRESSES FROM PARIS.

The French Papers of Sunday reached us last night,
and this morning we received those of Monday, with the
Filotc ofyesterday, as also a private letter from our Corre-
spondent, by express. In a preceding page we have given
a dispatch from GUILLEMINOT, relating to the often
told, and a, owl. true a tale" of the capture of Rim;
a triumph helwe which the fall of the Trocarlero and
St. Petri shrink into insignificance. It appears, that
the Duc d'Awoouwic has given up RIEGo, to what is
called the Civil Power, that is to the wilder mercies of
the Regency, who will gloat over his death with a fury
worthy the savages of New Zealand.
It will be a sirgular outrage on the laws of humanity
and nations, if an officer holding a commission, and
deriving his authority from the KING of SPAIN, whose
power de facto and dcjure has never been questioned by
any party, should be sacrificed by a body who have
usurped the name of a Regency, but who have been
disowned by the Ktwo himself. Hitherto the conduct
of the Duc d'ANcoutmaa has been judicious and mo-
derate, and we should be sorry to see it stained by such
a crime as the death of Iltrzo. St. Sebastian has capi-
tulated ; but as we are still without details, we are not
able to judge whether it was capable of longer resistance.
Tke Drapeau Blanc states, that 111 arsh3l Lau-norm
on his entrance into Pampeluna, caused 150 of the in-
habitants to be arrested.

The following is from our private Correspondent.
