The Republic of Gran Colombia lasted from 1819-1831 and encompassed the present day countries of Colombia, Ecuador, Panama, and Venezuela, and parts of northern Peru, western Guyana, and northwest Brazil. Simón Bolívar served as its first president from 1819-1830 from the capital in Bogotá. It dissolved in November of 1831 due to the political differences and tensions among the peoples of the different present day countries, which made up the republic.

Illingrot's decree, reaffirming the decree by the Congress of Gran Colombia, columns 1 and part of 2, is dated and signed: Dado en Guayaquil á 25 de octubre de 1822. Juan Illingrot--Pablo Merino secretario.
