COLOMBIA.

The following is a translation of the note
presented by M. F. Zea, to the French
Minister for Foreign Affairs, and the Am.
bassadors and Ministers OF foreign affairs at
Paris:-
The undersigned envoy extraordinary
and minister plenipotentiary Of the repub.
lie of Colombia, to establish political and
commercial relations with the powers OF
Europe has the honor to address in pursu-
ance of the orders of bis government, to
his excellency the Minister for Foreign
Affairs, the follow ing communication.
The report of the struggle which A.
merica has just maintained against Spain
has resounded throughout the world. If it
be admitted that ignorance may still exist,
respecting its marvellous details, no doubt
can arise upon the immense results obtain.
ed by force of battle and victories OPP
pressed America, enslaved for three
centuries, has shaken off the yoke of the
mother country. Spain is no longer any
thing beyond the seas which wash the
shores o! the Peninsula.
=" In short, America has attained her
maj ority; the increase of her population,
the progress of intellect, a thousand new
wants which the mother country could not
supply, rendered the crisis inevitable
Spain depopulated, without a navy, with
out industry-could she have retained lon
ger under laws, an entire continent, sepa-
rated from her by the vast ocean !--Ihe
independence then has done nothing but
reestablish natural order, and has put a pc.
Rod to those infinite evils that such an i'll
matched connection necessarily produced.
"Spain. driven for ever from the shores
of America, has no means OF returning
there. Divided in its interior, destitute OF
influence without. deprived of the mines
OF Mexico and Peru, where could she
obtain soldiers for distant expeditions 2
How could she meet the expenses OF m
ments necessary to reconquer what she
has lost I?
"The ports, the barbors, and the forti-
fed, places, are in the power OF the Ame-
ricans; all the emblems Of European SUI
premacy have disappeared. The lions y
towers Of CASTLE have given place to the
colours Of independence and liberty. In
these vast countries, which were SO long
the source of Spanish greatness, and the
theatre OF foreign domination, there re.
mains nothing but the scattered bones of
the warriors who were sent to oppose them
selves to our destinies. On every hand
nascent States are forming founded upon
the same bases, equally favored by nature
poweffulin resources, confident in q future
which cannot deceive them. The climate
alone would protect them against rash in-
y%asions, if the tried courage of the inhabl-
tants did not offer the best Of all guaran-
tees.

The following remarks Of the editor OF
the Charleston Courier on short jackets
will, we think, very well apply to many
of our own citizens: /,
II study TO be brief" says Horace, 'and
become obscure" Thus did this laugh
ing satirist of antiquity, pass sentence in
advance on the short jackets OF modern
times, coupling them with the idea of OBJ
security. For in Rome, luxurious as she
was and inventive Of every graceful de-
c~oration of feature and person-in Greece
where the images OF the body and the
images of the mind were equally chaste
and classical, no man would dare to ap.
pear in public, in one of those econemI-
cal, indecent, curtailed apologies for a
coat, which are daily to be seen in the
streets of Charleston. Dress was deemed
OF such importance among the Romans,
that the period OF manhood was marked
by an investment with the toga. But we
moderns, especially in America are not
ire unless we can do as we please. who
cares what another man thinks OF bis dress!
Who cares particularly what a lady thinks!
II is our slaves to be observant OF appear
ances and regardtul of decorum. We, the
sovereign people, have a right to consult
ourselves in every thing, and nobody else.
This is certainly very true, and it is a pl'
ty that our fashions, for taste and h6srty
are aIvays the same-it is a great pity
that the peoply of antiquity had not adopt
| ed our costume. How venerable would
Priam have appeared, asking the body OF
Hector, it instead of a long flowing robe,
sweeping the earth in humility, and held
submissively over his head, to shield bis
sorrows and the %conqueror of his SON, ne
had worn a bingham jacket in the CO.
stune OF these days. Why did it not oc-
cur to the SCULPTOR Of antiquity, to throw
a graceful garment OF this kiad over her
cules and the Apollo Belvidera. Why
did not Canova thus array our own Wash
ington? Why indeed are the tc,tors IN
making tails TO the coats, which if they
could be got rid of, why er ma ternaana the
toll ors would 60 too! Until this desirable
result shall be obtained which we think
will occur very soon, we recommend short
jackets to be worn in the public streets, by
all gentlemen of fortune, taste, literary
reputation, professional character, courte-
Gus manners, and industrious habits: a
shortjacket being, in our opinion, conclu,
siue evidence of the possession of one or all
of these qualities.
