Squadron Claims of the admiral on the Erecu-

Danen Canal Scheme.
The Cyane came from leeward few days ago
bringing us the agreeable intelligence of Lieut
Strains party having made its appearance on the
shores of the Pacific We hope the news Is correct.
We have in harbor French squadron-the Yph;-
genie, Rear Admiral Viscount DuIuesne; brig
Orestes and another; with three steamers Chimere,
Ardent, and Acheron-making six altogether.
Two claims have been set by the Viscount-one
on our authorities for sailor of the Orestes,
wounded by native on shore at night on the Esd
February, first day Of the carnival another on
the general government in Bogota, for spoliations
or damages on French merchant in Panama.
Both subjects must come under the decision of
the executive of New Granada.
In the meanwhile the Rear Admiral is gone to
Puerto Sares, on Darien, and to Aspinwall, on a
tour Of promenade, and Business, too, suppose.
The Commissioner from Mexico and Envoy to
the republics of New Granada Ecuador, and We

Mexico, Mr.. yillareal the messenger of Gen.
Santa Anna, native of this place; and by him it is
to be supposed orders will be received for The sale
Of the furniture the Mexican chief left locked in his
private residence at Turbaco When he left this
for Vera Cruz on the 10Th of March, 1858, his policy
avowedly hostile to the United States and even
his proclamation Of the first of April partook highly
of those sentiments. No wonder, then, that he
kept his eye Turbaco, in Of his being driven
back again by the Yankees, as he used to denomi-
nate the North Americans but rs he appears to
have changed wisely those feelings, having con-
cluded treaty with your government, and may COM
mand certain handsome round sum of rafting
dollars. am afraid we shall not have the pleasure
of holding him in our limits, and of enjoying the
pleasure of his company. He gave us life with the
money be brought before, although there is like
ihood, should he return for the second time, he will
be well greeted and received by all classes.
The Darien canal is matter OF no weight or i'm.
portance to us, notwithstanding the subject had
attracted the attention of three respectable
tions. Their vessels have left Puerto Escoses and
we have here the English schooner Scorpion and
brig Espiege, which formed part of the contin-

locality through which the cut was to be made from
sea to sea.
The cooperation, as far as learn, consisted Of,
first, in hundred soldiers of New Granada fifty
chained working men, q schooner transport, the
Niooasa, Mr.. Codazze, Civil Engineer to the service
Of this republic.
This contingent returned on the 23d March, with
out doing anything or finding the celebrated pass.
The French sent the Chimere and the Orestes;
the English the steamer Devastation, schooner
Scorpion and brig Espiegle; the Americans the
Cyane.
DR.. Edward Cullen, the author of the project, had
very strong alterations with Lionel Osborne, the
English Civil Engineer, and went from Puerto
Escoses to Navy Bay in the Cyane, abandoning the
scheme.
We always considered this as an afare de Bourse,
brought forward by Sir Charles Fox to the notice
OF Lord Clarendon, through whom the three nations
were put in motion to disturb the Indians in Daren
the new Tower of Babel whose builders have been
scattered.
Yesterday. Sunday, the French, English and
American crews were left to come on shore. After
