M. 11URTADO, the Colombian Minister, has notified
to the bondholders that the cause of the non-payment
of the dividends due on the bonds has been the disho-
nouring of the bills, drawn under an agreement with
the Peruvian Government, which is largely indebted o
Colombia, on the Peruvian agents in London; thee
agents not having been able to raise the loan which they
%vete empowered to negociate. Of this event, and of
the failute of B. A. GOLDSCHMIDT, the Government of
Colombia (he say%) could not be informed in time to
remit the requisite funds direct from that country. He
concludes by stating, by the first opportunity that shall
offer, he hopes to receive dispatches acquainting him
with the measures which the Government have deter-
mined upon in contrivience; and, being confident that
its measures will be directed by the most perfect good
faith, and an earnest desire to relieve the anxiety of the
bondholders, he has every hope that the communica-
tion he will shortly have in his power to make, will be,
in all repects, sayisfactory.
