IMPORTANT NEWS FROM COLOMBIA:
ARRIVAL OF M. DE BRESSON AT BOGOTA.

We have received only late this day Letters and Papers
from Bogota, to the sth of May, and shall give trans-
lations successively of some of their most interesting con-
tents : but in the interim the public may rely on the
following facts.

- •

The Treaty of Tarqui, or Jerin, was confirmed by
General LAMAR:, President of the Peruvian Republic,
and faithfully put by him into execution. The remnant
of that Peruvian army which was under his orders when
he invaded Colombia, and then amounted. to 8,400
men, reduced by its losses to only 2,400, had evacuated
on the 15th March the territory of the Republic, and re-
passed the Macara.

A Colonel JOSE PRIETO, Peruvian Commandant at
Guyaquil, had alone refused to obey the orders of Ge-
neral LA ictit, and instead of evacuating that city had re-
quested a delay of 55 days, that he might receive instruc-
tions from. Lima. We shall give his correspondence on a
future day. It was supposed that one of his objects was
to gain time for the getting stoat the frigate Probe,
which was careening in the port—but it was altogether
an individual act, and not considered by General Suc lit
as an intentional breach of the treaty of General LAMAR.
His orders to Gen. FLORES therefore prescribed him not
to consider hostilities as generally renewed, but to proceed
with his forces to occupy Guyaquil, according to the treaty,
ofJerin. Gen. FLoitzs was therefore moving on Guyaquil,l
in which there were not more than 400 men, and General
ELLINOOT, after driving in some of the enemy's posts
with loss to them, had fixed his head-quarters at Sapatal
on the 20th of March. Guyaquil was therefore, in all
probability, re-occupied a few days subsequently.
General Homy Au was on his return to Bogota, and,
on the 3d of May, was already daily expected, to attend
to the general affairs of the State, and receive Monsieur de
B RESSO iv, who had arrived there as Commissioner to form
a Treaty of Peace, and who. addressed the following
speech to the Council of Ministers. The Archbishop and
great Officers of the State having assembled to receive
him in the palace of Government, M. de Basssox spoke
as follows :

MR. PRESIDENT, AND GENTLEMEN OF THE COUM
CIL OF GOVERNMENT,

" The August Sovereign who has sent me here feels
a deep interest for the South American cause : the spec-
tacle now presented by France is the most brilliant proof
of this fact. His views, which embrace all that concerns
the well-being of the Kingdom which be governs with so
much wisdom, extend far beyond its own pieciacts.
Colombia cannot for a moment doubt the sentiments of
France, and of her King. Her wishes are for its tran-
quillity, its prosperity, the development of its imasnis

resources ; and for the establishment and consolidation of
strong and liberal institutions.

" GENTLEMEN-

" At the same time that I congratulate myself in
commencing a friendly and personal intercotirse with
statesmen, whose names appear with honour in every page
of the Colombian history, I Ratter myself with the hope
that the late events in the South will contribute to shorten
the absence of the illustrious CH tE F, under whom so many
glorious actions have taken place during twenty years,+
and whose name—permit me to add—is so highly honoured
among us. It is not alone that intrepidity and prompti-
tude in his undertakings, that penetration and constancy
—qualities indicative of a great General --that we ad-
mire : we applaud also in him those virtues and political
talents, which offer the fairest safeguard to the country
whose destinies, independence, and internal order—the
first foundations of liberty—are confided to his protection.
GENTLEMIV

" It is not for me to speak here of my personal feelings :
suffer me only to hope that I shall find in your Excellen-
cies a disposition to cultivate friendly relations, cone-
spondent with that which I bring."
We hope that the French and British negociators at
Constantinople a ill not forget to set off against any in-
demnity claims of Russia, the greater debt Russia owes
Turkey, and which she ought never to baoish from her
recollections. What would have become of Russia if Sultan
MA II 31011 D, taking advantage of her distress, when NA PO-
LEO Tr was crossing the Niemen ,had broken the Treaty of the
Pruth, the seal of which was scarcely dry ? or had even
made hostile demonstrations to obtain relief from some of

its onerous conditions ? The Russian Moldavian army
would, at all events, have been detained in the Provinces.
There would then have been no army to interrupt the
second line of communication through Minsk, to
check the Austrians, take the Tke de-Pont of Beresina,
and oblige the French retiring from Moscow to force the
Beresina, under the difficult and disastrous circumstances
of that operation. The service rendered Russia by the
generous forbearance and inviolable good faith of the
present Sultan amounts to the preservation of the Russian
Empire in Europe. If ever a political transaction com-
manded personal as well as State gratitude, the conduct
of MAII XOU to on that occasion has founded one of the
strongest claims on record in history.

We have a communication from our Correspondent who
sent us the article on the State of Parties, approving the
general view we have taken of the utility of public men
keeping connected together, upon the principle--ident
sentire de republicd, and of the advantage such associa-
tions may produce, by acting as a sound check on venal
political profligacy—but his objection is to the re-con-
struction of a Whig or Tory party, upon the principle
that the Ministry must be composed exclusively of one or
the other. That now there is no sine gud non impediment
to an union of liberal men of both parties, and however',
desirable that further union might be, new party-bonds
would again render it indispensable that one and all, or
none of the same party, should be employed. He agrees
that new combinations might, by new cfrcumstances, be-
come expedient ; but that the term Whig and Tory should
never be revived, as they have died, according to some, a'
violent, but, as he thinks, a natural death ; and that their
resuscitation could only impede the progress of good Go-
vernment, by limiting its means of formation. Whig and
Tory appellations he is confident would rekindle extin-
guished animosities, and the people would regard both as
factions seeking their own personal aggrandisement.

In this view of the inexpediency of reviving these ob-
solete party-terms—and indeed the party obligatioFs,
such as-they lately existed—we need hardly say that we
quite concur with our Correspondent.
The French man this morning brought us the fol-
lowing article of intelligence :

LEGHORN, 3m 0.

Several Beall& bosses hays made purchases to a coosidmable
meant thromgh their agents. as It is reported they have cootracted
for the supply of provisions for the English fleet is the Mediterra-
man. which is said to be animated to 52 ships of war. MI the
Wish ships that were at Maks have sailed for the Bkck Seaood
k is reported that Ave more an expected from Gibraltar.

The Journal of Frwshfort states, that they have
known for several days put that the French Ministry cannot
maintain their Around; that the Yaw has decided to form another;
and that an illustrious person who is near the throne has proved to
the Km. the neerasity. It is added, that Prince POLIAXAC Is to
Asna the new Administration.

The Duke of York packet has arrived, with a Mail
from Halifax : sailed the 25th of June; and by which
Halifax Papers have been received at the North and
South American Coffee House to that date. The follow-
ing are extracts :
Pima, Jess I7.—A ship bad been drifting i• the lee near
the Magdalen Wanda all the winter. The inhabitant. boarded her
on the lee, phradered her of all her sail. and rigging, stems, sad
part of the cargo. The word" Quebec" was seen oa her stern.—.
The alternate showers and son this spring have dons numb geed
to the crops, which premise most luxuriantly.
In Nova tkotli. In Canada, the progress of vegetation and the
prospects of a good harvest are said to exceed those of many put
years. In Barbardoes, we regret. it is the reverse; and, "if rain
a withheld" there much longer, there will he no food for man or
bout.

A most distressing account has been received of a shipwreck on
the island of Anticosti. Various descriptions of property have'
been found, and will doubtless lead to the discovery of the name of 11
the vessel. Her pasesegers and crews after reaching the shore,
were driven by hunger to feed upon the dead bodies of some of
their companions, until the severity of the climate and deprived=
11
of fire terminated their Inferior.
Prince Edward Island Papers to the 17th of Jane have been re-
Weed, but they are:void of interest. Elegy-four emigrants bad
arrived from the isle of Skye in a ship from Cape Baton.
