For months past. following an instruction

TREATY WITH NEW GRANADA.
Correspondence Mad
Public by the Senate

The Senate, In executive session, has
made public the correspondence submitted
by President Polk in 1S47 in relation to the
treaty. of 1916 between the United States
and New Granada NOW the republic of Co
lombia). It is stated that these papers
have never been published They consist
of protocols between Benjamin A Bidlack,
charge of the United States at Bogota, and
Manuel M Mallarino, secretary of foreign
affairs for New Granada. There Is a re-
port by the latter official pointing out the
advantage Of the treaty to the United
States In view of the attitude Of Great
Britain, which,, he declares, unveils
preconceived and long meditated intention
of grasping the most valuable mercantile
spots Of America, putting the competition
of the United States out of the question
and debating her will as law in all mat
tiers concerning the consumption of foreign
commodities"
In a communication to Secretary of State
Buchanan Mr.. Bidlack discusses the con-
troll of the iSthmuS, in which he says that
Secretary Mallarino had said that if New
Granada 'ceded to the United States the
right of way across the isthmus he pre-
sumed the United States would guaranty
to New Granada the isthmus or at least
as much of 1t as was required for the con-
struction of a canal or a railroad upon the
most favorable route.
Mr.. Bidlack, n i>tranSmitting a draft of
the treaty to- Secretary Buchanan, had the
following to say regarding the transit
across the istilmus:
with regard to the right of transit and
free passage cover the isthmus, which ap-
peared to me to be becoming of more and
more Importance every day, l have only to
remark thatDI have procured the largest
liberty and tile very best terms that could
be obtained.

consuming to- guaranty ha inf
seemed to me. upon reflection, that in order
to preserve the rights and privileges thus
coded 1t would be,,both the policy, the in
terest and the dltey of the United States

ance is carefully avoideN"
