THE ANSWER.

" The commissioners of the president of Colombia, ap- I
pointed to receive and treat with tt,isit of his Excellent's- t
Unser:al Morino, or any others acting- on the behalf of
the Spanish Uoverntnent, have had the honor to receive •
the official note of this date, which your Excellencies ,
have thought proper to address to them, proposing in
the first instance, that the Spanish Constitution shall be •
adopted and sworn to in Colombia, anil that ir. con-
fortuity therewith deputies shouhl he sent to the Cortes;
and secondly that in the case of the Constitntion tieing I
thus adopted and sworn to, the present chiefs of Colom-
bia should retain the command of the tree provinces, sub-
ordinately to the Commander-in-Chief, or in direct sub-
ordination of the mother country. The sacrifices conse-
crated by Colomliia to her Wier:y and independence
'luring te.s years of combats; the Only which has VII-
erred her arms; the determination of her sons pro- I
'Bounced long since in the most explicit and solemn '
•
term. and but just repeated by the president in his cone-'
i snonications with Generals !Ilorillo and Latorre, gave us'
a right to hope, that your Excellency 'comb! hare ',pared
iNi the pails of lieq ring pru,,,oritiunsfior oar subjecti,,o to.
or dependance us Spain, wader any title or jam. what-
soever. It appears that your Excellency had forgotten
the subject of our contest when von dictated the note to
which we reply. The defenders of justice and of liberty,
j far front being flattered by the offers of an unlimited
command, consider themselves outraged in bring thus;
(confounded with those base souls who prefer oppression
, and power to tlie sublime glory of being the lit lir t)4 re
of their eonatry.
There is no Colombian, or impartial person, wtio can
erceive any advantage to lie derived he Colimiliia from
her servitude. The Spanish constitution presents her
no advantages. But even granting that code to be our
calculated fur her happiness, Colombia having felt her
on n strength and power, will not owe to another the
`blessings she has procured for herself, and whirl, she
ran angnirn! in proportion to her wants or interests.—
, In renewing to your Excellencies the sentiments of the
I people, whose government we represent. we make hold
1 issisforen youvt bee we wee notanthertsed Ito ronsoalmate
the miseries of Colombia hy re-antdrting her to Spain,
but to promote and sustain her internals ;ad rights, by
making her
.free, sovereign, and indepetideet. If the
mission of yonr Excellencies has any relatiilr Via. these
objects, we will proceed with pleasure to hear yen tinder
the firm and irrevocable asstuanee, that we ie,ll answer
to no proposition n Web is opposed to this principle, or
which may tend to dishonour us, by degrading Colom-
bia from the rank to which her glorious efforts have
raised her.

I held on Tueday last at Ittitilin, of the Nobility, Gen-
try, Clergy, and others of the county of Denbigh, for
the;purpose of voting an address to his Majesty.
Weiare not able to give the particulars ; but we an-
derittand that the Address was moved by Sir Foster
Cunliffe, Bart., and seconded by Sir IV. W. IVyun,
But. No opposition was made to the Address,
whigh, we learn, expresses a hope on the part i
of the addressers, that a stop should be put to. those ,
proceedings which have created so much dissatisfac- 1
I lion throughout the empire.

with regard to the attendance of professional indivi-

place ill the Mansion House, on the 19114 of February ; ,
her Mikity, in order to obviate these inconveniences, i
has sanctioned the postponement of it until the Ist day
of MOO ; and signified her intention of being pre-
sent
oa that day. I
