THE DARIEN SURVEY.

We have Panama papers to the 18th instant No spe-
cfc intelligence had been received the fate of Lieut.
STRAIN and his party up to that date, Mr. GIsBoRsE,
the English civil engineer, returned to Panama the
10th instant in the British steamship Virago from the
Gulf of San Miguel. .
The Panama Star of the l4th instant publishes CON-
muncaton, without signature but which is supposed
emanae from Mr. GIsBoRNE In it he states that he met
opposition from the Indians in his successful attempt
with his little party of five to the ishmus but
assisted by them and received the friendly treat
ment The remains of three of the four murdered men
of Capt Prevosts command have been found and buried
the other body remained undiscovered The Darien In
dans acknowledge the murder of these men, and apo
ogze for it by saying that they took them for Spanards
coming to conquer the country.
Mr. GIsBoRNE says that he has successfully completed
the surveys from the Pacific to the foot of the Cor
dilleras and his intention to proceed mme-
datey to Caledonia bay to connect these surveys with
those in progress on the Atlantic side. "s.t@..
In relation to Lieut. STRAIN the communication says
6 Lieut.. Strain and his party have not been heard Of
for more than forty days Mr. Osborne has succeeded
with the assistance of the Daren Indians in tracking
the boundary of the territory they claim There is rea-
to believe that Lieut. Strain mistoo the
for the river Savannah and attempted to reach the Paci
nc by cutting path along its banks but the distance
is over one hundred miles, and the Of the country
swampy and overgrown with very thick prickly under
wood it is very much to be feared that his party are in
great distress, if not beyond human relief Commander
Marshall, of her Majestys steamsloop Vrago has, at
the urgent request of Mr. Osborne, formed boating
expedition the river Chuqunaque ascertain the fate
Of this unfortunate party, and will be left u
tried to relieve their present awful position"
The Panama Star fears that the whole Of Strain )
party has been destroyed The U. S. ship Cyane was at
Aspnwa the Sh expecting to leave on that day for
Caledonia bay. On her arrival there further attempt
would be made to obtain information of the missing
