A very respectable foreigner al Bogota writes
under dale Of Sept 28!h,-"l am afraid the
party against the government is very numerous
and increasing throughout the country. A
measure recently adopted by the Executive
against the advice OF Council, for stopping the
paymen, ofdividends on the home debt, for the
purpose OF appropristing them exclusively to
the payment Of dividends on British loans, is
very unpopular.
