On the formation of the government in newly independent Colombia.

"The unconnected and partial manner in which the State Papers received from Colombia have been published in the daily prints of this metropolis, during the late session of parliament, suggested the idea of presenting the following ones in a collective shape, as the best means to establish and explain the motives of the long delay in the meeting of the Colombian Congress, an incident that has occasioned some uneasiness and regret; and also to mark the progress made in the consolidation of the government" (Preface). Scarce.
