cisco to Panama, has been freely commented upon
in this city and in Philadelphia, in both Of which
places Captain Marks, who commanded her, is well
known, and the opinion is universal that it could

part. We think the same, and feel confident that
when all the particulars received of the casu-
ally, it will be found that be is blameless. We
shall soon receive additional intelligence Of the
