eS summary of the message of President Lo
PEE to the Congress of New Granada from

The conduct of the neighboring republics, in
regard to Ecuador and the invasions of Flores,
is next touched upon and a hope expressed that
the points in disputes between Peru and New
Grenada MAY be satisfactory adjusted.
The boundary between Costa Rica and this
republic is under consideration by the Ministers
of both nations at Washington; and should the
just claims of New Grenada not be admitted,
steps will be taken to enforce them.
The alocutiOn OF the Pope, relative to the
dispute with New Grenada, is alluded to, for
the purpose of calling attention to the errors
and false differences it contains The Popes

This important question has engaged the
consideration of the President and his Ministers,
and he has examined it in every possible bear
ing; TO devise a method of meeting it without
burthening the industry Or resources of the
country.
The only possible way he can propose for
remedying this evil is to give 2,000O,OOO fan
egades of the state land (terras balodias) to
the creditors which he conceives can be done
without any loss to the country.
The agent of the creditors, in Bogota, is said
by the President, to be favorable to this plan,
and has obtained data to transmit to England
to forward its consumation.
The question of the internal revenue of the
nation is then discussed. A new arrangement
of the postal system is recommended
