lonbis took place on Ne slss dsJ Of Novs.bss. A.
n ifbs srs. Executive Of the sspublis Of New Gro
nsds was General Domingo Csicsdo, - Vice Prssi.
dent. The nrst President was General Francisco
AZ Paula Santsnder.
The constitution now in force Is that Of the 10th
Its form Of government b the republican, popular
representative, elective, alternative, and RESPONSE
Bile. The powers are divided ints elective, legisls
tive executive, and judicial Its duties are 20 pro.
tses liberty, safety property, and the equality OF
Roman Catholic Apostolic religion, but all other
professions are tolerated.
In the establishment Of the government Of the
republic OF New Granada, there was no particular
prominent statesman as the leader but the follow
ing patriots have distinguished themselves, viz -
Nicente Azuero, Florentino Gonzales, and Mar
quez, doctors in law, and Generals Obendo, Lopez,
Caicedo, etc.
In IsiO, the party of the Isthmus opposed
to farther connection with the New Grana-
dian republic, comprising almost all the influential
and wealthy citizens of Panama, those who are
now connected with the conservative party, made an
unsuccessful movement Of separation; unsuccessful
because affairs we're not sufficiently matured for
permane nee. Now, however, they soon will be.
On the 22d inst, Gen. Herrera, the Governor
elect Of the province Of Panema, Of whose move
ments in the southern provinces your readers have
been recently apprised, arrived in our city He was
received with very great warmth, at some distance
from the city, and escorted into town by con-
siderable number ofprominent Panamenians. For
several years past he has been engaged and it was
much feared he weuld be longer needed, elsewhere.
The welcome Of the masses, on his arrival, plainly
shows that one very necessary point In the admini'
stration Of government is attained by his pre-
sence-the entire confidence of great portion of
the people. Herrera is man of fine personal ap-
psarance, with q military air and comma2ding,
diguifed mien, about forty eight years Of age. He
is Low residing with his brother inlaw, the British
Vice Consul, his domestic relations being of o
rather confused character, in consequence Of oer-
tain little q fair during his absence.
The General is said to hold the same opinion as
that set forth by the government at Bogota, that
too much freedom is granted to Americans 1t is
earnestly hoped that he will not act very fully upon
such basis, for any attempt to impose farther re-
stric;iops upon foreigners here, especially Ameri-
cans, will be seriously detrimental to the interests
oil the lsthmus. The whole demeanor of the Gene
raj is very prepessessing, and bears strong marks
of 6ne parts and careful cultivation. His fellow
citizens, many OF them, call him nluy formal, mug
poiitico, mug jMsto. May he dem monstrste his full
fho%ss &sSrs1a began hi. career in
Panama in the year 1922, lieutenant Of the First
Isthmus battalion. Hence he marched to Peru,
where he was promoted to be captain, and was in
the battles of Junin and Ayacucho under the orders
of General Simon Bolivar and Antonio Jose de Su-
ere. Subsequently he marched to the late Colom-
bia, where he was subject to great persecution for
his political opinions until, finally, he was confined
in the Castle of Puerto Cabello, in irons. After
wards in the battle of Palmira, where he distin-
guished himself, he was promoted to lieutenant
colonel; aud when Alzuro took possession of the
lsthuus, it was Herrera who drove him out; for
which service he was promoted to colonel, and
lately the Congress granted to the executive its
consent to promote him to the rank of general. He
was twice governor Of this province, twice repre-
sentative, once Senator in Congress, and once Sc
cretsry of War.
For some months past, he has been engaged in
suppressipg the rebellion, which you have currently
noticed in the provinces of Antiequia and Punoques
During the term since his appointment, SeHor
Manuel M Disz, Of this city, has acted as Cover
nor pro te,npore until September last, when he was
ESQ it generally understood by the foreigners)
regularly insugurated as Governor ae facto; but
Herrera seems still to have retained his official ca
pacity, ard has now displaced his substitute in the
gubernaterial chair.
II is reported here that garrison Of six hundred
soldiers is to be stationed here and that the police
force now organized united with said garrison, are
provided to enable the Governor to execute
promptly and with rgor all the stringent regula-
tons for the maintenance of gooi order the collec
ton Of taxes and the administr alton Of the govern
ment, which the government at Bogota seem TO con-
sder as having been neglected
The only other item Of governmental movement
which is potable at the present tne is the appoint
ment Of s. nor Mariana Arosemana as Minister
Plehipotentsry of this republic at Lima.
Among the changes which have recently taken
place in the business community of this city, are the
transfer OF Mr.. Edward Flint, recently in the
lloy Of the Pacific Mail Steamship Company at
Tabogs. 70 the post Of agent, for the management
Of the cfce ana the eonpsnys interest IN this city,
months past, and the return OF Captain Forbes TO
bis old place as general superintendent Of the COM
rsny's interest on the Pacific. Captain F. has a
oct OF friends, who cordially welcomed bis return
He Is admirably fitted for his position, and dis
charges bis duties 10 the entire satisfaction OF all
who do businest; nor are they oy any means
trifirg.
Death has a!so made a vacancy il the ranks Of

" strangers in a strange lard; !" and though the
lace OF him vto has gone TO rect may be supplied
among us, there are those who mourn him cat
home, fer whom there is no reparator, no supply
from the circles Of earth. On the 23d ult., Peter
l.. parsons, ESq, for some fifteen months past in
the employ CT the Pacific Mail Steamship Company
at this place and Tabogs, died very suddenly. He
had many very warm friends, for his gen srous a.tr
butes and noble parts called forth tie friendship Of
all who knew him. He was kindly aud skilfally
treated; but the messenger called, and there was
none to gainssy.
A company has left this city, within few days,
for the valley Of the Canca with the intention of
mining there. II they are Nof the right stripe"
they will do well, for there lie plenty Of ore there
Some twenty or thirty practical miners from Georgia
were here the other day. en- p1Ssunf for California

The steamer Mex owned 10 Acapulco, and by
parties here with her, was put ~" and filed
readily for san Francisco. She has been condemned
twice, " mistake rot, and is beyond doubt, un-

Such outrsges ss crOwding vessels entirely unsafe

common for tolerance here. These sfsirs, and the
