The Colombian government promptly rejected these proposals and in reply demanded "arbitration of the whole question of Panama or a direct proposition on the part of the United States to give Colombia compensation for all the moral, physical, and financial losses which she sustained as a result of the separation of Panama."
One night we were lying at anchor, close to a dry sandbank to this day I am not sure where it was off the Colombian coast or thereabouts. We were to start digging the next morning, and all hands had turned in early, expecting a hard day with the shovels.
The denial by this Government of the Colombian propositions did not, however, imply the admission of a belligerent status on the part of the insurgents. The Colombian Government has expressed its willingness to negotiate conventions for the adjustment by arbitration of claims by foreign citizens arising out of the destruction of the city of Aspinwall by the insurrectionary forces.
Governor Garcia immediately embarked for Cuba with the remaining Spanish civil and military authorities. Rule of Toussaint l'Ouverture. Exodus of whites. Capture of Santo Domingo by French. War with negroes. Government of Ferrand. Incursion of Dessalines. Insurrection of Sanchez Ramirez. Reestablishment of Spanish rule. Proclamation of Colombian State of Spanish Haiti. Conquest by Haiti.
I have been speaking hitherto of Colombian Odontoglossums, which are reckoned among the hardiest of their class. Along with them, in the same temperature, grow the cool Masdevallias, which probably are the most difficult of all to transport.

That letter is dated August 21, 1829, and in it Bolivar suggests the election of another president. Moore accuses Harrison of insulting the Colombian government. The author is indebted to Dr.
Dig up the old papers, Scraggsy, and I'll doctor 'em up to fit the Maggie II. As for our armament, we'll dismount the guns and stow 'em away in the hold until we get down on the Colombian coast, and while we're lying in Panama repairing the holes where my shots went through her, and puttin' new planks in her decks where the old plankin' has been scored by shrapnel, those paraqueets will think we're as peaceful as chipmunks.
He then ran to haul up the Colombian colors, and having done so, cried out through the speaking trumpet, "Lower your boat down this moment, and let your captain come on board with his papers."

It does not appear that the Government made any real effort to secure ratification. Immediately after the adjournment of the Congress a revolution broke out in Panama.
