REPUBLIC OF COLOMBIA.

Extract 81 letter from CarttGgend, .Noreni-
Der 10. 1925
a. On the 2Sth utimo, his eXcellency Senior
GUAI, minister p!en'potenary from the republic
TO the Congress at Panama, arrive here, with his
lady, from the seat of 20, eminent, and on,the 9th
instant the honorable Mr.. ANDERSON, minister
plenipo,entiary from the United States, arrived
from New York, accompanied by his brother
The meeting of these two distinguished personages
was, have reason TO believe, very agreeable
circumstance 10 both; they not long in inter
changing visits; the best understanding has always
existed between Mir. Anderson and Senior Guai,
and there is no doubt but they were well pleased 10
meet at a moment when matters of great import
ance, to all the Americas, were under considera-
lion, If not on the eve OF full development. They
have been much together, and several entertain
ments have been given TO them; dinners by the In
tendante, by General Montila, and splendid one
to day by one of the British merchants 1t is con-
solng TO see the free nations Of the earth thus cor
dial and united. Feelings like these, with the
approaching Congress at Panama, will furnish an
emphatic commentary on the holy alliance!
The ship of mentioned in my last, as then
sgnalled in the olfng, proved 10 be the frigate
Chapman IRON Sweden, mounting forty-four guns,
with two hundred and ninety seven officers and
men. She was purchased or this government, but
has not yet changed her flag. The Boyaca cor
vette Of war arriv ed few days after the Chapman,
and on Friday the Protector, formerly the Fail
mouth sloop of war, mounting twcnty guns entered
this harbour from England She is also for this go
vernment, should she be wanted. a ship OF the
line for the Colombian service sailed two days be-
fore the Protector, and Others were on the way.
Three battaons, of infantry and Two squsdrons
of cavalry of the Colombian army from Peru have
arrived at Panama; more were to follow. 1t Is real
ly astonishing to the vigor and promptitude OF
action displayed by the infant republic; securing
independence and liberty at home and abroad, we
scarcely hear of the complete conquest of Peru by
the lberator when Learn that the conquerors are
again in Colombia and ready at moments notice,
to pass over from onerocean 20 another.
Senior Gual leaves this about the 18Th for Pana-
ma, and Mr.. Anderson about the same time 10 en-
bark on board the steamboat at Barracoa on the
18th. Alter many difficulties, this said steamboat
made her passage up the river in nearly eighty days
They hope now to 30 up in thirty days, as they
know the river better, and have surmounted some
difficulties that y ere in the way a new balanced
beam has also been sent from this for the boat
There is a large party going up in the steamboat,
consisting of senators, ambassadors, generals,
colonels chemists, miners, naturasts, and other
vans from Europe, merchants and merchants clerks,
OF which England furnishes few, with g ladies
fair and perhaps, not very fair, as this par OF
he Colombian climate is not very adorable to their
fair compilations. 1t would be cruel TO omit all
lice OF NJ. Castell the celebrated luggler, who has
Keen enrching himself here Tor the last month, and
who sleams it up the river, with the vieN OF
playing the same kind OF trick with the good people
OF the capital. From all tins you will perceive, that
must be difficult to please il he cannot mike
ont agreeable conversation even Tor fifty day.,
should this trip OF TIT boat last so long
