The Republic was established after the dissolvement of the
Republic of Colombia (Great Colombia) with seccession of
Ecuador (Quito, Guayaquil and Azuay) and Venezuela (with
Orinoco, Apure and Zulia) and was formed by the
departments of Boyaca, Cauca, Cundinamarca, Magdalena
and Istmo, all in the current Republic of Colombia (except
Istmo that is the current Panama). On November 1831 those
departments created the Republic of Nueva Granada, but nothing
was established about symbols. Old symbols were confirmed
provisory by the National Convention of 17 Dicember 1831. It is
not clear what flag was it: Restrepo believe that is the flag
with two cornucopias of Great Colombia. While new symbols were
discused some proposals were issued. On 9 May 1834, the
national flag was adopted and was used
until 26 November 1861, with the greatcolombian colors
in Veles arrangement. Merchant ensign has the eighpointed star in
white. In 1851 new civil war when conservative ans slavist
from Cauca and Antioquia, led by Manuel Ibánez, Julio
Arboleda and Eusebio Borrero, revolted against liberal
president José Hilario López trying to stop the process
of liberation of slaves and for some religious affairs.

Flagmaster quote similar (same?) proposal
dated 24 December 1833 from Alejandro Veles, but it
must be a mistake and the correct Veles proposal is the previous
one.
