BOGOTA, DECEMBER 22.
OFFICE FOR FORRIGN t.FFAIRS.
• By the last Caraccas mail, a Note has been received
from M. Zea, dated Cheltenham, in England, in
which an indirect mention is made of the loan of two
million% sterling, reported generally to have been ne-
gociated by him in Paris.
In that Note former Notes are referred to, which
have never- reached this city, and for want of which
the Government is totally ignorant of the particulars
of the said loan. These particulars are absolutely ne-
cessary, to be able, with a knowledge of the advan-
tages or disadvantages offered by the negotiation itself
:to decide on for what has been already published, re-
garding the subject.of M. Zea's powers.
As the Executive is anxious to proceed in this very
delicate matter with the most scrupulous nicety, and
to conciliate; as far ai'po§sible, the interests of.all, it
has been resolved to submit it to the consideration of
.the next Congress, the same as has been done with
:the arrangement entered into in London, on the Ist of
August, 1820, with the British Creditors.
We confidently anticipate that the Legislative
13Qdy will decide this important business in a manner
the most satisfactory to all concerned, consolidating
and securing by a well digested law the growing
:credit. of Colombia in Europe.and* the United States.
Such a law would remove the uneasiness of some, and
prove to the world that our Government is ready
to make sacrifices for the sake of national hcinoer. -
Zea, in date of the 20th of September lasi; from
Cheltenham, in England, advises the Government of.
having remitted nine thousand .three hundred and
thirty-six Spanish doubloons by a corvette, which ar-
ritwed at La Guayra on the Sd Nnyember. -
The money and corvette are intended 'for the ser-
vice of the Republic, and pursuant to what is stated,
other remittances, ships, and warlike stores, are to
follow for the same end.
Under the embarrassing circumstances in which
the Executive has been placed by the financial opera-
tiOns of M. Zea, it.has been resolved to hike such
vessels as may be .fit for the service, and such warlike
suites as may be found wanted after being previously
suryeyed and' valued, and the money ordered to be
deposited in. the departmental treasury of eariccas,
until a definitive agreement can be made to the sa-
tifaction of chase concerned.
In this arrangement the Executive has had to re•
concile present circumsta,F.cespyith ananxious desire
to obviate such dittcultiesOsi might arise in any
future negotiation of a siniifir description. .
We again express our confidence, that the wisdom
of the Legislative Body, en a due consideration of
tLe various documents to -be presented .will decide
this Business in a manner agtteable and advantageous
on both sides.
