PANAMA.

FROM THE PANAMA GAZETTE OF JUNE 19.
Mr. Mac Gregor, his Britannic Majesty's Consul in
this port, gave, on the 2d instant, a splendid entertain-
ment, at which assisted the Gover nor-Intend 4nt, General
Carreno, el Juez Politico, the Alcaldcs, Members of the
Municipality, the Canons, Military Commandant., and
the Chiefs of the Government Departments, several
Military Officers, and many Merchants, Colombians,
and foreigners. In so numerous an assembly, gee
magnificence of the entertainment was acccmpanied
by the most complete satisfaction; and we shall ever
remember that union which in England and Colombia
mingle vows of the closest friendship. There were
thousand toasts, but we shall only give those we were
able to collect at the moment, for the music and the
pleasure we enjoyed, scarcely allowed us time lor
reflection.
The Cmtsur..—" A friend to Colombia ; because the friend of ra-
tional and constitutional liberty, his Britannic Majesty George IV."
" The Libertador, the Iriustrious President of Colombia, and
Supreme Chief of Peru, General Bolivar, whose glorious deeds will
be immortalized in the records of fame."
" The President of the United States of America."
" His Britannic Majesty's Ministers—the Friends of Freedom,
of Independence, of Commerce, and of Prosperity to the whole
world." •
" The Vice-President, General Santander, and the Congress of
Colombia."
General CARRENCI then gave the following toasts :
To thegeoerous and heroic British _ -
stances of affliction to America, co-operated
accompll,hment of our wishes, not only wiih
with their blood, which they shed iu Colombia.

The Earl of LIVERPOOL returned to town last night,
hour Windsor, whither he had gone in the morning to
lay before the KIND an account of the deliberations of
the Cabinet Council which met at the Foreign Office
on Thursday. The Cabinet met again, by adjournment,
this .day, at one o'cl‘)ck. All the Members of the former
• Meeting were present. To them Lord Lisrearoor.
communicated the result of his conference with his
MAJZIIIT, and the Council were deliberating thereon

when this. Paper went to press.
The LORD CIIANCILLOR is still in the country; and
. the general opinion now is, that there will be no Dissolu-
tion of Parliament at present.

We stop the Press to announce the complete failure
of the second part of M. Da VILLZLL'a plan for the
conversion of the Five per Cent. Stock into reduced
411 per Cents.

Intelligence arrived this day, by Express, from Paris
intimating that an annuity only to the amount of a

million and a half of trades, bad bein so converted, or
60,0001. sterling-, on which no further comment is neces-
sary. It is added, however, that the French Minister
might, by exerting himself,have effected a more extensive
conversion ; but that he was indifferent to the result,
as he is enabled, by the immediate supply of Thirty
Millions of Francs from St. Domingo, at once to pay
off, at or ender par, so much of the capital of the Fives
as that sum will,effect ; the consequence of which, added
to the ordinary operation of the Sinking Fund, will
evidently be such a rise in French Stock, as will un-
doubtedly enable him to obtain better terms for a reduc-
tion cf the interest of the National Debt, than if his
original plan had succeeded.

We copy the following article from the I imes, which,
we presume, is authentic—and the more so from the con-
duct t) etein attributed to an eminent House, bring in
perfect consonance with the high character and un-
shaken integrity of the honourable men who compose
that firm. We need hardly inform our Readers that
the House of Messrs. ROTHSCHILD is alluded to, and
that evtry member of that powerful establishment
would, if we had no direct testimony of the fact, spurn
with indignation, an offer of individual gain at the ex-
pense of that reputation for good faith and consistency
which they have attained all over Europe, but which
would be in manifest jeopardy if they were for one nu,-
ment to lend their countenance to a pilpable robbery,
which the miserable Cabinet of Madrid is, by these in-
sidious means, attempting to perpetrate on the much-
injured creditors who lent their money on the once in-
•iolable faith of the Spanish Nation.

0 We have muck pleasure in expressing, on authentic informa-
tion, our belief that all hopes of raising money here on the part of
Spain, however favourable the terms, without the acknowledgment
of the Constitutional debt, have been quite extinguished. So re-
cently as the visit of several eminent capitalists to this city, a propo:
anion was made to them by the Spanish Government for al:lmin's
tering to the necessities of FZIDINAND by a loan, giving them a carte
blanche as to terms, except that no notice was to be taken of the
bonds of the Cortes. There was no act of submission, no degrada-
tion even in providing the security for the repayment of this debt,
which FIRDIXAND would not have acquiesced In, could this dilliculty
only have been surmounted. Collectors might have been appointed
for his whole revenue, such as it is, under the immediate controul
of the contractors, and the wealth of the clergy, had they insisted
on it, might have been made in a great degree responsible for the
money advanced.

" The Gentlemen alluded to, however, remain Arm. Their
stake in the securities of other Governments was too large to allow
them to sanction, by any act of theirs, and from any motives of ulte-
rior benefit, a breach of public faith. They therefore transmitted
to the Minister of his Catholic Majesty a declaration, signed by
every member of the firm, that under any circumstances, and what-
ever inducements were held out, they would never advance money
to Spain, unless a recognition of the bonds of the Cortes formed
one of the conditions of the contract. It was thought right, once
for all, and in this direct and peremptory manner, to pledge every
partner to refuse, both now and hereafter, to become a party to an
act of injustice, and to secure themselves born the insult of any
more such proposition. from the most degraded creature that ever
bore the name of King in Eut opu."

Notwithstanding the repulse conveyed in the above
intelligence, rumours are very- prevalent that the nego-
tiation of a Spanish Loan will still be attempted, and
the following are the particulars :

" The Agent who negociattd the Contract is said to be M. Tas.
atY DX 51/CUMIN
" The Contract is made by three French houses.
" The amount 20 Millions of Pounds Sterling.
" The price 60 per cent. Dividend 6 per cent--10 per cent. to
be paid down.
" The remainder in 24 equal Monthly Payments.
" The Contractor to retain two years' Dividend.
" To redeem GUE1111111.1)%1 Loan.
" To pay the Debt due from Spain to France.
" One-half subscribed for by Spanish Houses at Bayonne.
" The other by French Houses.
.116
" No recognition whatever of the Cortes Bonds:

And is it even come to this, that our character as an

intelligent nation has, by the insane speculations by
which the people of this country have recently been
almost suffocated, reached such a pitch of degradation,
in the eyes of foreigners, that a Frenchman shall ven-
ture to appear on our Stock Exchange, and propose
Spanish Loan, avowedly for the benefit of France, the
prime condition of which is to defraud the innocent
Stockholder of Spanish Securities already existing ?
Are the English people supposed to be such amazing

ulls as to be the butt of every impudent projector
in Europe, who may want to rase money for any
the most nefarious purposes ?—They are not :—and
we will venture to tell the Contractors, if they are

• t .
serious, that they will not hnd one Stockbroker—no,
not one, who wid either sell or buy the Securities
which they would on those terms wish to palm on the
Capitalists of this country.

We have received Mexican Papers from the 22d of
May to the Bth of June inclusive. They are chiefly
filled with extracts from foreign journals, and scarcely
furnish a single paragraph of any interest on domestic
affairs. The Paper of the 5.h of June contains the
following advertisement, said to be distributed over the
streets-in the neighbourhood of the Augustin convent
" The Father Sacristan of the Imperial Convent of St.
Augustin requests the inhabitants to ornament their
doors and balconies, and to illuminate the street through
which is to pass the procession of the Holy S]crament
next Sunday.*

The French Papers of Wednesday and Thursday
have reached us. They are extremely uninteresting.—
The Quotidknae abounds in brilliant ideas on English
affairs. Its last discovery is, " In England the feudal
system rules the Funds, and the laws of WILLIAM the
CONQULROI4 and his recollections, are still in force by
the side of the Navigation Act." The following is an
extract :

" The Academy of Medicine, in its Sitting of the 6th of Sep-
tember, received kom the Minister of the Interior a conunnni-
c ation of great importance, u it points out a grievous defect in me-
d icinal e4ucation. Dr. Dariste, who has long practised medicine
in the Antilles, bas had occasion to remark, that deaths by poison

possessed of proper knowledge ' and at his instigation, Messrs.
Orifals, Caventon, and Pelletier have addressed to the
Minister of the Interior a letter, in which, after stating what they
have learned from Dr. Dariste, they say that France cantiot supply
the wants of the colonies, because it posses es so few turn versed in
toxicology and forensic medicine. The only thing that can be dune
at present would be to found a special school of legal toxicology,
in which some pupils, from whom previous know!. dge should be
required, might study for two or three years. to be afterwards
employed in the colonies, or attached to the royal tribuillis in the
departments. Two professors and a preparer would suffice for
this school, and a dozen pupils might be admitted annually. The
Academy has not come to any decision.

We have received Barbadoes Papers to the lilt% ult.
The Paper of the 2d contains an account of the laying
of the foundation stale of a building for the reception,
maintenance, and education of poor female children.
The Bishop attended the ceremony, and implored a
blessing on the under taking. The sane paper presents
us with a poetical addiess to the Right Rev. Prelate„in
which the author, who is a planter, has hailed the ap-
pointment of an episcopal mission " as ensuring the ex-
tinction of heathenism in that portion of the Ameri-
can hemispheie."
In the paper of the 9th we find the draught of a Bill
to carry into effect the recommendations of Govern-
ment for the amelioration of the condition of the slaves.
Would such a Bill as this ever have been proposed,
had the British Parliament still allowed fresh " human
cargoes" a free importation to the " milder shor.:"
of Baibadoes ?

In a preceding page vac have given a view of the
present situation and prospect of Buenos Ayres. Nothing but the
comparative feebleness of this province, as a naval and military
Power, could, we suppose, have induced the Emperor of BRAZIL to
act so precipitately as be has done, in sending a fleet to menace
Buenos Ayres, and to assert his claim to the Banda Oriental by
force of arms. If, however, the Federative Union of the several
Republics in South America is formed, Brazil will not have the
Provinces of Rio de la Plata alone to contend with, but the
victorious troops of BOLIVAR, the Mexicans, the Peruvians, Ace. will
unite against her. The latter the EXPRROR has already provoked
by seizing on the province of Chiquitos, inhabited by a numerous
and warlike nation of Indians, in Upper Peru. Th- other intelli-
gence from South America will be found interestiug.
