Owing to the light winds prevalent at
Panama, and south of it TO the line, also
north to Mazatlan, three or four months of
the year, much delay is caused even when
sailing vessels reach the isthmuS by which
communications may be sent, and that is
only when vessel of the squadron is sent
for the purpose. As have mentioned to
you in former letter, the most direct route
to California from Panama is via Callao or
Valparaiso, there being no commerce with
that place, and the coast north Of it. There
is established private line of packets,
monthly, from Panama to Payta and Cal
lao, in Peru; the English government have
two steamers, the Corn'Oram and Sdla-
manda, carrying two Paixhah 68'S and
two AZ FOUNDER carrona DIES each, which
come monthly for the mail, and there are
two on the Atlantic side for Jamalca-they
have depot for coal on u small island in
the bay of Panama, for which they pay
$500 yearly. Our whale ships coming
