WASHINGTON, October %, 1861.
The state of affairs in New Granada, with
regard to the United States, is in q delicate
and interesting condition. Elevating the
flag of State sovereignty aud State rights,
General Mosquera threw the country into a
terrible revolution, and on the 18th of July
succeeded in entering the Capital through
the imbeciity of the chief commanders of
the constitutional army, and the absence of
confidence in them by the troops; but he has
not been able to extend his rule to even one
half of the territory or population of the
country, and there are now powerful odds
against him.
Letters from Bogots say that the Ameri
can legation there favored the obtaining of
information by General Mosquera relative
10 the strength and movements of his oppo-
rents, by which be was enabled at last to
attack Them with advantage; that in the
same manner our Minister, General Jones'
violating the orders Of General Briceno in the
Msgdalena River, had months before caused
the disaster to the expedition sent by Presi-
dent Ospina to the Atlantic States, under
the command of that chief General Jones
having caused a steamer to proceed down the
river by which the rebels were informed of
the position, strength and plan of attack of
the Government troops. These letters also
assert thaton the evening of the 10th of July,
when Mosquera most cruelty ordered the
murder of three citizens without trial, even
denying them all spiritual comforts General
Jones lent the United States flag at ball or
soiree, given in the house he occupied. It
known, too, that General Jones himself
hastened to recognize the self assumed gov
ernment of Mosquera, presenting to him the
appointments of United States Consul to
Panama and Aspinwall, and asking him the
exequaturs, which were Immediately given
In consequence of these proceedings Of
General Jones' Mosquera assumes to have
been formally recognized by the Govern
ment of the United States, and has therefore
attempted to abruptly terminate the lsbors
of the New Granada and United States Com
mission, organized nearly five months ago
for the examination aud settlement of claims
of American citizens. Through personal
animosity to Messrs. Hurtado and Pombo,
the former Commissioner and the latter
Charge d. flares of that republic, he first
attempted to divert the funds provided by
New Granada for the Commission, and next
to recall or supersede Mr.. Hurtado, notwith-
standing the Commission, by the terms of
the convention, is of Judicial character and
is placed in a position independent of politi-
cal interference by either of the Govern
ments joining in the arrangement.
General Jones is now on his way to the
United States, and his successor, Judge Bur-
ton, has probably, by this time, arrived in
Bogota. The above facts, though not de-
rived from Government channels, are relia,
bic, and it is known in diplomatic circles
that General Mosquera, by high, handed and
discourteous proceedings, has placed himself
in hostility to the English and French Lega.
