Observation-Disclosures OF CnHed otd%es ote0UeTS
In my last communication informed you of q re-
port current here, upon the authority of Mr.. Duff
field, British subject, that the Cass Herran treaty
had been ratified by the Congress Of New Granada.
The British mail steamer reached Aspinwau on the
18th ult., with mails from Bogota Of later date
than the departure of Mr.. Duf6eld. The treaty has
not been ratified. Ospina the President, has issued
a strong argument, published in pamphlet form,
advocating its ratification and his friends say the
argument will have the desired effect. Infu-
entail men, however, who are we'll advised
and competent to form an opinion, say
the treaty will meet the sanction of Congress
Q,len sabe? The future only can develope the re-
suit. New Granada like the Central American
States, has learned diplomacy from old Spain, and
he who would venture an opinion upon any future
action of the government must be wiser man than
the boy who can name his immediate progenitOr.
