PANAMA MISSION.

The following is brief abstract of the Docu.
ments relating to the Panama Mission, COM
municated with the late message of the
President on the subject.
1.-THE Introductory paper in the series, is a
communication from Mr.. Clay to the House
of Representatives, stating that conferences
were held during the last spring with the
ministers of Colombia and Mexico, in which
they verbally communicated the wishes of
their respective Governments that the Unted
States should be represented at the proposed
Congress. 1t was distinctly stated by them
that the United States was not expected. to
change her present neutral policy, nor was it
desired that her share in the deliberations Of
the Congress should have any reference to
the prosecution of the existing war with
Spain. The President subsequently, informed
the ministers that if these preliminary restric-
tons, and the nature of the powers to be Civ
en- to the Diplomatic Agents, could be adjust
ed between the Governments to be represent
ed at the Congress, bis opinion would be fa-
vorable to the appointment of Ministers on the
part of the United States.
/" The LIST Document contains an extract Of
letter from MIR. Adams, in May, 1923, then
Secretary Of State, to Mr.. Anderson, our Min
lister TO Colombia, in which very able view
is taken of the relations between the United
States and the independent South American
States, and the course pursued by this Gov
eminent in acknowledging their independence
without any design of interfering with our
neutral position toward Spain.
"The Cd Document is formal and official
invitation from Mr.. Zalazar, minister of CO.
lombia, on the part Of his Goyernment TO the
United states, to join in the Congress Of Pa
mama, detailing the objects Of the proposed
meeting, and the part the United States
were expected to take in it; all of which is
set forth in the Message of the President that
has heretofore been published, and from, which
il is seen that this country would in no way

TUESDAY. MARCH o.
After suspension Of some days, the House
OF Representatives resumed the discussion of
MIR. Nc DUTIES propositions for amending the
Constitution Of the United States. such.
however, is the apathy evinced by the great
body OF the members, that the House is Literal.
ly deserted as soon as the Resolutions are
read, and an orator takes the floor. There
was no time during the discussion this day,
that hundred members were to be seen in
their seats; and when the Committee rose,
there were but l03 within the walls, many OF
whom were called in by the Sergeant
after the question had been once put aud ii
was ascertained that quorum had not voted.
II is known and acknowledged that every
effort to amend the Constitution, at the pres
ent time, must result in defeat. The proba-
bility is, the present week will put AN end 10
the affair.
