ordered during the recent decline in quotations for

INTELLIGENCE PROM TIE MANDINao INDIANS
by the Crescent City we received very interest
ing letter from one of our Isthmus correspondence
giving an account of visit to the Mandingo Indian
country, in that section Of the world.
II is the ft,ra inccgn,ta of the lsthmus, and all
the efforts Of travellers TO penetrate into il have
hitherto proved futile. The only person ever known
to have visited the Interior of this portion of the
Isthmus, was one Lionel Wafer, surgeon, we be-
lieve, to the buccaneers who, under Morgan, sack
ed Old Panama in the 18th century. He was
detained prisoner by the Mandingans for con-
siderable time, and finally effected his escape His
journal, however, was lost we believe; at all events
but little more is now known than that he was
among them
The rart of the Isthmus they occupy, Is supposed
to be the narrowest from sea to sea. We refer to
the letter, by which it will be seen the party were
received most courteousy and Hospitality, but Pc
remptorily denied permission to cross This has
always been their mode of procedure; and UP to
the present time, neither Cancellation, force, sra-
tagem, any plan, has been of the least avail to
make them alter their determination to keep their
country to themselves.

These quotations exhibit an improvement In most OF
the securities named. Government stocks both reno
raj and state have been in demand for permane In
vestmen while the fancies have been inactive and DO
pressed In prices This is owing to the absence OF all
speculative feeling In the market and not TO the tight
ness OF money, as the market is abundantly supplied
with capital for all legitimate purposes There has
been great Improvement in this respect within the
past month"; and the rate Of interest now rules at tho
legal standard The receipts Of specie this port from
Europe, and from different parts Of our own country
have recently been large, and banks have on hand
as much as they wish to carry their own account
This influx Of specie has created confidence in the
public mind and strengthened the position of the
without having extended the movements Of these ipst
tutions to any extent With money abundant IL IL
strange that prices for stocks generally not advance
and that 20 little speculative feeling exists
