TIVE UNDERSIGNED proposos TO publish n
Il political Weekly paper in the German Ian
guage, in the City Of Washington in support Of the
principles by which the Administration of Gene-
raj fdyior came into power, and being desirous TO
obtain the aid and cooperation of the Whig party,
he would respectfully state the reasons which, in
his estimation, make il desirable and necessary
that such paper should be established at the
of Government
/. The number Of thosc who use the German Ian
guage their medium of intercourse is upwards of
Three Millions, and this number is constantly in
crcasing by immigration.

franchise; and the moro so, az the country teens

whose particular object and anxiety it is TO this
Interpretation to the best advantage.
3. Although there arc few Wing papers in the
country, they bear principally LOCAL character,
and relying for their support more on local patron
age than their subscription lists, they do gene

and reading people, accessible 20 sound srgu-

speaking the plain truth, will be able, by degrees,

Latest from the Isthmus.

The steamship Empire City, Captain Wilson, ar
rived at New York on the 18th from Chagres,
whence she sailed on the 9Th inst No later intel
igence from California is brought by this arrival.
Peace and quiet seem TO have been completely re-
stored at Panama, there having been no further
outbreak at the time of the sailing of the Empire
City, although it had been ascertained that few
disaffected political asprants (Grenadians) had
used the most strenuous efforts to array the blacks
against tLe whites, spirit of uneasiness and dis
quielude prevails there among the better class of
Grenadians, as well as among the Americans, lest
the few designing Grenadians may succeed in in
ducing the blacks TO attack the whites.
Commodore MeCauley has promised, at the re-
quest of Mr.. Corwine, on behalf of the resident
Americans at Panama, to dispatch a ship-of-war to
that port. The government of Grenada are wholly
unable to put down any outbreak that may occur
between the natives and the white population.
Several Americans had died in Panama their
names were not ascertained. The place is reported
comparatively healthy.
About 1000, in gold dust and coin, was stolen
from Captain Bowman while crossing the 18th.
mus, on his way home from California, by the ne.
gro in charge of the mule TO which the trunk con.
tanning the gold was dashed. Part of the gold was
recovered.
Another gentleman, belonging TO the same party
with Captain Bowman, was robbed of $40 600, the
half of which he ,ucceeded in recovering.
Up TO the 3lst ult., the steamship Isthmus which
had been daily expected at Panama, had not ar
rived. The New World and West Point were
supposed to be lying at quarantine at Valparaiso
Nothing had been heard of them previous to thu
| sailing of the Empire City.
The steamship Tennessee, Capt. Cole, with 45(
passengers, left Panama on the Both ult for Sar
Francisco. The other vessels, the British bari
Sarah, with 22O passengers on board, and the Cal
forna, Capt Budd, were expected to sail on the Is
| or the ID inst.
The three vessels have in all about one thousand
| passengers, bound for California. In consequence,
of the limited number of vessels in port the rates
passage were higher than formerly.
