FROM COLOMBIA.
Letters from Carracas to the 2d inst. are received. Our minister, Mr. Anderson, was on the eve of departing from that place for Bogota, the capital of Colombia.
The letters communicate the interesting intelligence, that Mr. Tod, our charge d'affaires at Bogota, has prevailed on the government to modify their revenue laws, by abolishing the extra five per cent duty hitherto paid on imports from the U. States, more than was paid on imports from Europe.
The same letters assert, that the Colombian government has ratified the loan contracted in England by Mr. Zea.
