II is exceedingly painful that owing to sabstsnna
mistakes and in consequence OF unjust prejudces,
disturbance Of 70 grave nature should have risea
the old aud constant friendly relations between two
publics of the New Word, very disproportonats, b
true in actual power, but called by their ogaphck
position by the nature Of their political institutions
and BY the progress Of philosophical and humane hes
to march tgether toward smiling future. The Gov.
eminent of New Granada expects, nevertheless froa
the wisdom and high social portion Of the Presdsss
of the United States that upon q new and calm eranr
nation of the facts he will give TO his cotemporsns
and to poster ~ the noble example oil reetfylngs 10
decisions in the deporable affair forming the sues
of this note with the regard due TO reason sod N
principles Of honesty which and have been q 4

distinguished consideration. the Honorable Messn
