CIRCULAR.

TINE UNDERSIGNED proposes TO publish a
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 1hylor came into power, and being DESTROYS to
obtain the aid and cooperation Of the Wing party,
he would respectfully state the reasons which, in
his estimation, make il desirable and necessary
that such paper should be established at the seat
Of Government.
I. The number Of those who use the German Ian.
guage their medium Of intercourse is upwards of
Three Millions, and this number is constantly in
crcasing by immigration.
2. The name Of Democrats being the appellation
Of the liberal or popular party of Germany, 20
which all the immigrants before their emigration
belonged they do, OF course range themselves with
the party bearing that appellaton in this country,
as soon as they are able 10 exercise the elective
franchise; and the more so, the country teens
with Democratic papers in the German language,
whose particular object and anxiety il is TO this
interpolation 10 the best advantage.
3. Although there are few Wing papers in the
country, they bear principally local character,
and, relying for their support local patron
age than on their subscription lists, they do gene
rally stand fall with the success or defeat OF the
Wing party in their particular section.
T. The Germans, however, being intelligent
and reading people, accessible 10 sound argu-
ment, and paper conducted with uprightncss, and
speaking the pls;. truth will be able by degrees
To overcome preJudiccs, correct errors and misap.
prehensions, and by lite own direct influence, az
well as by lite influence upon the local Wing pa
pers, now in existence, will, il is hoped, produce
the desired effect and gain the rejecting and think
ing, that IL the influential, portion Of the German
citizens, over 10 the Wing ranks.
s. The undersigned il we'll aware that he has
many and serious obstacles 10 overcome, but rely.
ing upon the power Of truth and the cooperation
Of the Wing party, on account Of the intrinsic
merits Of his enterprise does not fear TO be charged
with entertaining too sanguine hopes, if he antci
patcs a satisfactory result.

FROM PANAMA.

The steamer Empire City arrived at New York
on Saturday, from Chagres, whence she sailed the
5th instant.
No later intelligence from California is brought
by this arrival, as the Sarah Sands and Isthmus had
not yet arrived at Panama. but were daily expected.
Peace and quiet seems to have been completely re-
stored at Panama. there having been no further out
break at the time of the sailing Of the Empire City.
The steamship Tennessee, with $50 passengers,
left Panama on the 30th ultimo for San Francisco.
Two other vessels, the British barque Sarah, with
220 passengers on board and the California, were
expected to sail the lst or I'd instant 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 of passage were
higher than formerly.
Several Americans had died in Panama their
names were not ascertained. The place is reported
comparatively healthy.
About $1,000, in gold dust and coin, was stolen
from Capt. Bowman while crossing the Isthmus,
on his way home from California, by the negro in
charge of the mule to which the trunk containing
gold was lashed. Part Of the gold was recovered.
Another gentleman, belonging to the same party
with Captain Bowman, was robbed Of $4,000, the
half which he succeeded in recovering.
