BY the fas, sailing Schooner Medal, Captain
SMITH, ia 10 days from Kingston, Jamaica, we
have received regular files OF papers to the Goth
August.
Panama Gazettes to the 2s,h July, were receiv-
ed at Kingston. by which it appears, that suspi-
cons being entertained with regard TO the tranquil
ity OF the Republic, in consequence OF the opera
tons of the enemy in Cuba, the internal disturbance
of the Isthmus, and the existence of suspicious
characters therein, the Assembly was cow oked at
Panama on the Sd July, to discuss on the necessa-
ry measures to be adopted for the defence of the
Republic the result of which was subsequently,
promulgated by Proclamation. These suspicious
of alarm having subsidized, another Proclamation
issued on the 25th ut to that effect, and by
which it appears that the military command, re-
ferred to in the former one, ceased in the ex ercise
of its Extraordinary functions.
The Fiscal or Attorney Generals opinion Of
these reports is given, which appear to be as fol-
| low
Tha, an Assembly could not be convoked on
more equivoca and unfounded information, stating,
IN support of which, that every one is aware that
the forces in Cuba were not only insufficient to at
tack Colombia, but that they were incapable to
protect the very Island itself
| That the Spanish squadron that was ploughing
the coast of Colombia had no troops of disembark
alton, and that their very sailors were novlces in
the art of navigation.
Iha, in the Havana they were compelled to bur-
then the inhabitants with heavy taxes to defay the
ordinary expences
That they neither had transports nor means to
carry a That they were compelled to sta-
ton three divisions OF men, of 5000 EACH in Cuba,
Havanna, and Peurto Principe, to d eiend the at
tacks OF Colombia, which they dreaded and, tina,
however barbarous the SPanards may be, it is in
consistent with human reason to suppose that they
could embark in such gross errors, when they con-
sder the power the former possess in the Isihmus,
the Inconvenience of the winter, their lost hope
In the Pacific, and, above all the decided deter
minaton of the Patriots TO DIE OR BE FREE
(,Rorir o. ser H6res.)
The Fiscui admits the possibility of the exis,enc
OF disloyal Cocmbians, but be denies the existence
of any in the Isthmus.
In referring to the disturbance in the interior, he
observes, that its inhabitants are always ready to
sacrifice themselves for the public cause, and will
ever sustain their Constitution, their laws, and
their honour, against those who dare TO impute
such infamy to them is alluded to in the frs,
Proclamation respecting the interior insubordina-
| ton.
BY the Harlequin we learn that the Congress
had broken up at Panama on the 23d July, to re-
assemble in the City of Mexico. the American
! Minister, Mr. Anderson, died on his way TO Pana-
ma. In consequence OF some suspicious created
by false runours OF intended instruction at Pa
mama, several respectable individuals had been ar
rested and imprisoned, and Martial Law proclaim
ed and continued for five days.-It having, on
| investigation, been found that the rumou.s were
unf"unded, the parties liberated and every
thing was quiet by the last received from
| Panama at Chasres.
| CUBA.-The Public Advertiser Of the 2Ist Au-
| gust, says: -
We have just seen letter from Cuba, of which
the follow ing is extract:
| The Colombian Cruizer which is on this Coast =,
has attacked Rsrtinee. The Captain with few
men landed and carried the place with it's garrison
OF four soldiers and corporal. The Captain
wrote from on board to Srdana, the Governor OF
Princpi, but am not acquainted with the contents
| OF the answer. The Coast is deserted by the
principal persons, women and slaves The Gov
eminent had given orders, that in case of the dis
embarkation of Colombian troops, the Captains OF
districts, with the men who might be able to col
lect together should impede their progress and
that the principal persons upon all the properties
should order the cattle hogs and other stock under
their charge, to the neehborhood OF the city of
P'incpi-a wise measure !! In fine, my friend,
neither Ferdinand nor any other Bourbon has to
reign in Cuba: 1t shall be free because it has been
decreed IN Heaven. Bait. +. Ga=.
