LIEUT.. STRAINS PARTY SAFE.-News has been
received at Panama that Lieut. Strains party
Or at least the most of them, are safe, haying
been found at the mouth Of the Sacramento
River, on the Pacific side, by H. B. Ms steamer
Virago. The Virago was daily expected at
Panama with the party on board The Panama
Star says Lieut. Strain and his men had been
forty nine days in getting from the Atlantic to
Point Yaysa, near the outlet of the Chucuna-
que River on the Paeife--that after being out
fifteen days from the Atlantic, their provisions
became entirely exhausted, after which they
had to subsist principally upon the nut of the
trupa, q species Of the palm. Lieut. Strain &C.
eompanied by two of his men, then set out in
search of provisions and boats, which he found
at the junction of the Savanna and Lara Rivers,
and obtaining the necessary supplies, FASTENED
back.
The nineteen men left by Lieut. Strain on
the Chucanaque, were mostly disabled from
sickness and debility. The sufferings of the
whole party must have been intense, especially
those of Lieut. S. and his two companions, who
in their weakened and nearly exhausted state,
had to cut their way for four weeks down the
banks Of the Ghucanaque River.
Lieut., Strain reports that the Indians habit
ing the route over which he travelled, always
fled on his approach, first setting fire to the
ranches or huts, destroying their canoes and
carrying off all stock and provisions. At one of
their settlements he found the remains Of no less
than five canoes.
The Indian murderers of the four men belong
ing to the Virago, it is said have been diseoy-
cred.
Much excitement exists at Aspinwal1 on &C.
count of the imposition of certain taxes on the

the Governor Of the Province, stating that he
should resist all attempts u recover the tax
to which the Governor replied that the tax
would be Immediately carried out.
So, collision may ere this have taken place
between Capt. Hollins and the Government au-
thorities.

revolutionary movements now going on in that
country, headed by Gen. Ramon Castillo and
Don Domingo Eelias.
From all we can gather from the papers, as
we'll as from private information, we are assured
that the party of General Castillo is every day
growing stronger. and that the rule of President
