Baltimore March 1--we are Informed tina,
one ofthe mail drivers who had been arrested
on suspicion of being concerned in the late mail
robbery, has confessed the crime, and also the
whole arrangements by which the robbery was
committed. 1t appears that four persons were
concerned, two drivers and two Others. On
the day of the robbery, the drivers and one of
the accomplices sat on the front If the stage,
the mail bag being under their feet. They IN.
locked the portmanteau, cut open the letter
bag, and as the stage proceeded, they dropped
on the road such letters as they supposed of
value. The fourth accomplice being on horse
back behind the stage, took up the dropped
letters and put them into bag provided for
the purpose. When approaching house
where the stage stopped, the portmapteau was
locked, and all things appeared secure. The
whole transaction took place between Phila-
delphia and Newport.
The Philadelphia Press says:-"There is no
longer any doubt but the persons who lately
robbed The U. States mail, are in custody"
We take pleasure in publishing the subioin-
ed communication relative TO the successful sur
gcal operation of Dr. Goninger. whose talents
in his profession, qualify him SO eminently to
become useful 10 the human family
SURGICAL OPERATION.
Having seen surgical operations detailed in
newspapers, | will briAy relate one have lately
witnessed on the eye.
A Mrs. Bretz, aged about 80 years, from
Berks county, having been blind for several
years, few weeks since called upon DR.. John
w. Gloninger, of Lebanon, to have :he opera
ton Of cataract performed, who, she was in
formed, had repeatedly performed it success
fully, even on some very aged persons. II was
performed according to Sir William Adams
mode, the result of which must not only be ve-
ry gratifying to her and her friends, but also
has been to all those who have witnessed her
restoration to sight. She can now discover OBJ
jec,s nearly as well as she did previously to her
becoming blind, and will shortly, as her sight
is daily improving, be able to attend as usual
to the duties of her family. NJ

SLAVE TRADE.

By the following, copied from our lilies oil
Nassau papers, Of the 4th inst. received by the
schr Leo, Captain ClaXton, it will be seen that
the Slave trade is getting more precarlous eve
ny day, in consequence Of the vigilance OF the
English and French cruizers:-
"The French frigate Antigone, while cruzlng
lately on the South Side of Cuba, captured the
French brig Hypolite with SLAVES from the
coast of Africa, and despatched her under the
charge Of Lieut. Gilbert for Martinique-On
the Tin ult the Hypolite was wrecked at Maya
guiana, soon after which the wreck was fallen in
with by the sloops Lively, and Diana, which
took on board the Slaves, Lieut.. Gilbert and
the crew, who were landed at Nassau.
"About fortnight ago, His Majesty's schr
Union, Lieut. Lowe, while cruizing on the coast
of Cuba, gave chase TO Spanish brigantIne,
which in order to avoid pursuit, ran on shore
near Manatee, and on being boarded proved TO
be- The Maiico, from the coast of Africa, with
slaves. The Spaniards had previously landed
200 of the slaves, and escaped with them into
the woods The vessel was then got ailoat
with upwards Of ITO slaves, on board, carried
to Havana, and delivered over to the Mixed
Commission there We are informed that the
Spaniards, in forcing The poor Africans to
leave the vessel, had cut and wounded several
of them, and others IN being forclbly carried
on shore had been drowned.
By vesselfom the nelghborhood OF Rag
ged Island, we learn that H. NJ. brig Ferret,
aptain Hobson had lately captured on the
North side of Cuba, a Spanish schooner from
the coast of Africa, with about Fifty Slaves on
! board, mostly in wretched sickly state

PAN ANA.

In 1861. the British Prime Minister, the Ia
NOUS Pitt, Earl Of Chatham, intended TO add
Panama to the catalogue of British conquest.
He sent for general officer, and alter explain
ing the Object, asked him what force in men
and ships would be needed The General re-
piled, shall not want great number oil dis
ciplined troops; give me three or tour regi-
ments, with instructions to the middle ana
southern provinces to supply me with lew
men accustomed to bush fighting, and about
Two thousand negroes to work IN the neat Oh
the day. Give me powers to form an alliance,
and a Droms, Of protection in religion and COM
merce, and | will answer for the success, not
only against Panama, but for resignation OF
all Spanish America, in all matters which may
be deemed beneficial to GreaI Britain. "Get
Yourself in readiness" said Mr.. Pitt, "your
commission shall be made out immediately
But George the Sd, who took delight in acting
contrary to the maxims and conduct of his
grand father and 10 the advice Of his great min
lister William Pitt, defeated the intention. This
very important spot on the globe, remains In
the hands ofits right owners. President Ad-
ans knows its importance and would have been

A letter to the editors of the Baltimore Anne.
rican, from correspondent at Bogota, under
date Of the 2eth January, says:
"We have learned by letters that statement
injurious TO the reputation Of your Charge DAT.
fairs, Col. WATTS, has been circulated in some
of your public papers. We are, however, en-.
tirely ignorant Of the nature OF the statement,
further than that it alludes 10 the circumstance
which happened at this place in October last,
which grew out OF an apparent misunderstand
ing between him and young Englishman, but
which was instantly settled in a manner the
most satisfactory and honorable to the Colonel
The circumstance of republican representa-
tive insisting on, and obtaining precedence on
public occasions, was in itself sufficient to ex-
cite hostile feeling in those who have been
accustomed to lord it over the diplomatic crea-
tion-anG have little doubt, could the cause be
traced to its origin, this conjecture would not
be far out Of the way However, whatever un-
easiness false or nigh colored statement Of
the facts, may have occasioned his friends in
the United States, here at least, his conduct in
the affair, as we'll as his general conduct, has
exalted him even in the estimation of his enc
mics No diplomatist at this place stands on
higher ground with the government, nor in
greater repute with the people, than Colonel
Watts. He is ardent and indefatisable in his
duty-and strictly vigiant in every thing con-
nected with the interest Of his countrymen.-
No ad, antages in commercial matters which
are assiduously sought for by Britain, but
what are carefully watched, and if obtained
by that power, are Immediately coded to his
representation. l am therefore happy to have
it in my power, from occular knowledge of
all the facts in the case above alluded 10,
and from knowledge Of the man, to as
sure his friends at home, that Colonel WATTS
is incapable of compromising his own, or his
country's dignity and honor.
Mr.. Anderson, your minister, arrived here
few days ago in delicate health. He is fast
recovering, and is held in the highest estima-
ton by the cabinet. His brother has also been
i'll with ague and fever, bu, is now out Of his
room. This is tribute almost every person
has 10 pay this city and singular climate"
