UNITED STATES Consul IsSuLTED.--Tlie Ports
mouth (va) Pilot has perused letter dated
"United States Steamer Vixen, Punta Palma, jan
uary 4th, 1850" from which we make the following
extract:
"From what hear, understand that our consul
has been repeatedly insulted by the governor and
populace, even III his own house; and it i deemed
necessary by Captain Ward that an American man
ofwar should be stationed at this place for the de-
fence of the dignity and rights Of our country. It
is said that on one occasion the governor went to
the American consul's house, and, after searching
ii from top to bottom insulted his wife in the most
aggravated manner; and they also followed him to
his country seat, and with drawn sword demanded
that he should immediately leave the country Such
the reports here and give them for what they
are worth.''

TRAVELLERS TO CALFoRSIA.-There arc now
running permanently the following first class
steamers between New York and Chagres viz:
the Empire City and Crescent City Of Howard and
erts' line, the Cherokee and Philadelphia Of How
land and Aspinwall's line. The whole Of which are
all substantial and fast steamers, and commanded
by men Of we'll known ability.
The price OF passage by the Howard line II 9 65
in the steerage, and $50 TO Sl25 in the cabins.
The Storage includes mattresses on board. The
prices by the Roberts line arc, statc-room berth,
800; standee berth, 800; steerage,. 5O-also in
line, after saloon, SIPS; forward saloon, 500;
lower cabin, $50. The price by the Law line is
lower than by the others because these steamers do
not go direct.
passengers six cubic feet Of baggage, without
charge. Freight is taken 20 extent ut seventy
cents per foot but the difficulty in getting II across
the sthmus is very great The cost IL about % Cts
per ID.
The passage across Is made in two or three days.
at a cost Of about S25, by the steamer Orus or by
canoes TO Gorgona or Cruces, and thence ON foot,
or by mules and horses, to Panama, at which place,
the Tribune says, by hiring room person can
live for about 81 or 8 5 per week by boarding at
restaurant On the Pacific the following steamers
running, and the balance are TO be there soon.
The Oregon, Panama, California, Tennessee, Uni
corn and Carolina, Of Rowland Aspinwall's line;
Sarah Sands and New Orleans, Of Howard 4 Sons
line; Columbus and Isthmus, of NJ. ID. Roberto
line; added to these there are two moro to be
sent round the Horn TO Join Howard 4 Sons line.
The prices on the Pacific are the same in all the
above steamers; first cabin, $500; second cabin or
Storage, $50. Passengers are allowed ten cubic
feet OF baggage. Freight in the Howard line is
taken at 81 per foot and probably in the others at
the same price.
The Aspinwsll steamers arc full on the Pacific
side up 10 May. The Howard steamers are also
full TO May, and IL is doubtful If u steam passage
could be obtained from Panama until after April.
We believe that sailing vessels running between
Panama and San Francisco, and passage can be
obtained ut from $50 10 5000
The steamship Crescent City is advertised to sail
from New York for Chagres Thursday, 2lst
instant.
Those who prefer a voyage around the Horn can
find Mt any time fast and substantial vessels at this
port about 70 sail for San Francisco. The time OF
the voyage ranges from five 10 six months, and the
price is 100 TO $500, according to the accommo-
dations. Freight is taken at Csc. zoe. per foot.
There are some ffty-two vessels Of all sizes, in
GLIDING two steamers, up at this port for California
We notice that all the vessels engaged in the
Chine trade, as soon as they arrive here are imme-
diatcly put up for California, and from thence
probably TO China and the East rndics.

while coming to that port on Thursday night, dis
covered the illfated steamboat Rhode Island, float
ing at sea. The Globe says:
son boarding her, they found that though she
had q considerable quantity Of water in the hold,
yet there was no danger Of her sinking for few
days. None of the passengers were on board, so
that it is supposed they were taken from the wreck
by somevessel that was passing. The master of the
smack cut the shrouds which held one Of the masts,
when II was forced up with great violence by the
water in the hold and jerked into the sea- carrying
the master with it, who was with difficulty saved

COOP News FROM FLORIDA. There is a very

close of the Indian difficulties in Florida. The
principal chiefs have acceded to the terms of the
Government and agreed to emigrate. We see no
reason to doubt that they sincere, and will get
ready to depart Immediately. The troops are SO
disposed as TO secure their compliance, were they
disposed to resist further; and their interest is
plainly consulted, by going at once, that we appre-
bend no further obstacles of importance. The
speedy relief of Florida from this troublesome pop
ulation, and the Government from source Of ex-
pense and embarrassment, will soon be accom-
