We learn from one of the passengers that at Pa
mama, passengers escorted to and from the rail-
road depot by the officers and crew OF the United
States sloopof.war St. Mary. AT the same time, to
guard against any attack from the natives the boats
Of the sloopof all manned, and their gurs,
together with those Of the sloop were shotted, and
brought to bear upon the town. Orders were given
10 the officers in command to fire upon the natives
should they make any hostile demonstrations. The
passengers were not landed until the train was ready
to start and then they were put on the care at once
and sent off. On this side, passengers were allowed
70 return to the shore after going board the George
Law.

CENTRAL AMERICA.

We are Informed that the rumor that Charles Nor
gan had arrived at San Juan del Norte on one OF the
steamer from the United States is incorrect, the party
representing the Morgan interest being Mr. Birdsal
sent out to act agent of the Steamship Company un.
der the new c0ntract-but at last advces Mr.. Scott
had refused to give up his Punta Arenas.
Kinney ia said TO have but thirtyfve men in Grey
town, and TO have offered the new agent, Mr.. Bird
call, his support in acting for the Transit Company
Kinney still retains his position at San Juan, no one
knows, but many wonder how.
The statement that the ports ct both extremties Of
the Nicaragua route were blockaded Is premature
the blockade not yet being established-but the ar
rival of the vessels to accomplish it daily ex
pected-aAd it was presumed that no vessels would
be permitted to land passengers or convey them up
the river.
At the time French came down the river, some
eighty who had left Walker bis officers at diff
ferent times and some of whom were in the Schles-
destitute condon. The citizens of that place raised
a subscription and sent away between thirty and forty
Of them in a sailing vessel for the United States.

BOGoTA AND CARTHAGENA.

From Carthagena we have the intelligence that the
National Congress of New.Granada passed, on the
2sth of March, decree declaring free the port Of
Carthagena. The decree reads somewhat az follows:
ARTICLE I. From the lst day of September next,
the port Of Cathagena, on the Atlantic coast, will pc
perfectly free for the commerce Of Importation In
consequence the boats that enter said por as well as
the merchandise that is introduced into it, will be sub
iect to no class of fiscal duties.
ART. ii. The freedom of the above mentioned port
will only comprise the walled part Of the District Of
Csithsgena. tAspinwall Courier, Maya.

BOLIVIA,

Our last advices from this republic are by way Of
Valparaiso 1t appears that the state of peace which
this unfortunate country has for some time enjoyed,
was but preparatory to another revolution luton the
President. and upset the Government Of General
Cordoba The plot was fortunately discovered, and
seven of the principal conspirators arrested, tried
found guilty, and sentenced to DEATH. They, however
refused to denounce their accomplices. At length
Young officer in one of the regiments that had entered
into the plan of the revoutionsts, gave such nforma
ton as led to the arrest of of the chief officers Of
the Cove rnment connected with the war department
this led to other arrests and the discovery of widely
spread revolutionary plots throughout the entire re-.
public. Considering that the Government Of General
Cordoba has not only granted an amnesty to all po-
htca offenders, but has ako given Santa Cruz per-
mission to visit the country and restored bis pension
the conduct of the revoutionsts appears basey un.
grateful. -,
