COLOMBIA.

From their attentive correspondent
at La Guayra, the editors of the Anne
rican have received file of Caracas
papers TO the lst instant inclusive.
The advices from Bogota, the CAPT.
tai, are to the 10Th April. A treaty of
peace, friendship, navigation and COM
merce, had been concluded in Bogo,a
between the government Of Colombia
and that of Great Britain. Colonel
Hamilton was to proceed to England
forthwith, with a copy Of the treaty,
for the information of his government.
II is rumored that by this treaty, Bril-
fish vessels are TO be admitted into Co.
iombian Ports during six years, on the
same footing as those Of Colombia,
and on a principle Of reciprocity.
A law authorizing the establishment
of the Venezuelan Bank has passed
the Congress and received the sanction
Of the executive.
A bill was before the Congress for
granting one million Of dollars on loan
10 the agriculturalists of the republic.
A contract for navigating the lake Of
Maracaibo by steamboats,, had been
granted for twenty-one years.
The Gaceta de Colombia contains
decree enjoining the disbanding of the
regiments assembled in Guayaquil for
the service Of Peru, and 70, their pay
ment and return to their homes.
The Aurora de Apure of the 9Th
May, states that on the 4th of A pril
public dinner and bah were given in
Varinas, in celebration of the acknow-
Judgement Of Colombian independence
by Great Britain. The same paper
contains a circular from the intendant
of that department to its several poll
teal Judges, calling on them TO i'm
prove the roads Of their respective dis
tricts, all,dging the serious inconve-
nience to the public posts, from the
neglect Of this duty.
The Caracas Colombiano of the lst
Of June contains letter from y. Bid
die, ESQ. President Of the U. S. Bank,
addressed TO the Colombian minister
at Washington, giving his reasons for
declining a loan of two hundred thou
sand dollars to certain landholders at
Caracas.
A proposition has been for some
months before the municipality of Car
acas, preparatory to its transmission to
the Supreme Government, for con-
s,ructing an lion Rail Road between
Caracas and La Guayra. The projec-
tors of this great national improve
ment are Messrs. Herring, Graham and
Powles of London, whose proposals are
published at length. The projectors
stipulate for the exclusive possession
of the road for twenty-five years-at
the expiration Of which time the road
is TO be surrendered to the government
upon the payment Of one fourth of its
original cost.
"By a decree of his Excelleney the
Liberator, it is ordered, that until the
claims of the United Liberating Army
and of the National Marine be dis
charged, no applications for the pay
ment Of other debts shall be attended
to: but that on these claims being paid,
Others shall be admitted, in as much as
It's the earnest desire Of his Excellen-
cy to establish the public credit. With
this view, Board of Liquidation has
been formed in the capital, to which
all creditors are invited 10 address
themselves, with such documents as
are necessary to establish the nature
and priority Of their respective claims. :"
