tered very severe gale. She brings 800 passen-
gers and $500, 900 in gold

Chagres The Brother Jonathan sailed from
Kingston eight hours ahead of the Illinois.
The California news possesses little interest
Considerable excitement prevailed with regard
to the election. Business was brisk, and ac-
counts from the mining districts continued ia
vorable. The weather was fine, and the crops
in promising condition. The state of society
had somewhat improved, owing to the efforts Of
the Vigilance committees, and the more prompt
action of the civil authorities. Prices of pro-
duce have undergone no material change
though the large supplies tended to depress
rates.

Courier & Enquirer the following letter from Mr..
Heiss:
WASHINGTON, Sept II, 1851.
To the Editors Of the Courier & Enquirer:
Your Washington correspondent under date
of the 10th instant says:
1.-THE owners of the Pampero begin to betray
great uneasness lest that vessel may be cap
tured; and, indeed l think they have good
cause for alarm, as | do not see how she is to
escape the vigilance of those on the lookout
for her Major Heiss, formerly of the Union,
one of the owners of that boat, is also proprie-
tor Of the New Orleans Delta, the print that
had so large share in misleading the minds of
indiscreet and unwary youths. Certainly where
the guilty parties are discovered they should
be called to a most rigid account"
This appears TO have been written for the
purpose Of placing upon my shoulders part Of
the responsibility attached to the late disas-
trous Cuban expedition.
You will please state that / am not one Of
the owners of the Pampero, nor have | been
interested in any way>fn getting up said expe-
dition. Neither have l advised used any
means whatever to "mislead the minds of in
discreet or unwary youths, by inducing or en-
couraging them to join" in that unfortunate
adventure. JOHN 2. HESS.
