IMPORTANT MOVEMENT IN REGARD TO THE 18TH
MUS TRANSIT LINE.-The Washington correspondent
of the New York Daily Times, in letter dated 10th
inst, has the following important information He
says:
The President has caused to be submitted to the
Government of New Grenada a formal proposition
for the cession to the United states OF municipal con-
troll over the Panama Railroad route the cities OF AS
pinwall and Panama and strip OF the territory
through which the road runs sufficiently wide to in
sure the protection of the route from future violence
The precise form Of the proposed cesslon has not
trapspired The desired object may be secured either
nv m absolute cesson of sovereignty and territorial
domain. by A lease of the territory to the United
States perpietuay or for term of years, with the
right to exercise ndisputed municipal control over it,
or by a simple treaty stipulation that the United
states shall have the right to station military force
upon the Isthmus sufficient to preserve order and
protect the transit route. II is mistake to suppose
that either of these propositions conflict with the
Clayton Bulwer treaty, which applies to political aud
not to eographcal Central America, and therefore
has no reference to New Grenada.
From such information as | can gather, | am salts
fed that the Presidents proposition is not for an abb
soue cessiOn of sovereignty and territorial DOMINION
upon the Ishmus but for treaty concession TO us
Of perfect municipal power there, with such rcstrlc
tons upon the power of the Federal Government Of
New Granada with reference to the Transit route as
shall give to us i'll fact, with respect thereto, Tree
exercise of all the powers OF sovereignty tor the pro
lection and ueVeOpmenl OF American INTERESTS Will
out yielding Us the actual sovereignty by name. In
short we are have the substance Of the thing with
out the name
An arrangement of this sort would save the pride
of New Granada which rerOlts at the idea Of parting
with territory however valueless to herself while it
would also obriate much of the objection in the Uni
ted States to the acquisition of territorial sovereignty
detached from the great body OF our possessions.
There is reason to believe that the proposed arrange
ment will be cOnsnmmaicd. In return for the con-
cessious to the United States to pay New Ora
NADIA sum Of money to be agreed upon, from which
the Just claims Of American citizens to indemnity for
losses by the Panama riots Of April last will be paid
The contemplated treaty will doubtless be here for
consideration by the President and Senate Within
few weeks at latest.

LETTER FROM MIR. ENERETF.--A q lUlc meeting Oi

ter from Hon. Edward Everett WAS read:
Boston, I'd Nov, lsjG.- Drur Sir: 7 am much
obliged to the Committee of the Historical Society
OF PENNSYLVANIA for card of invitation To their din
ner on the Sh inst. The foundation Of Pennsylvania
dates from that day in the year lG>2 1t was most
important year in American history. Our MaSSachu
sets writers carry back to it the beginning OF the
struggle between the patriots and the preroGative
men, which pursued, in peace and in war, til 1t
ended in provisional treaty Of peace between Great
Britain and the Independent States Of America. just
4 century after PENIS landing. In the same year LA
Sale descended the Mississippi, claimed possession
for France OF the mighty region drained by it, and
gave it the name Of Louisiana. The founding Of "a
free colony for all mankind.' on the banks Of the
Delaware upon the principle lberty Of conscience
and civil freedom, belongs TO the same grand order
ofpr0vdcntia events the till consequences OF which,
both TO the new world and the old, are as yet but I'M
perfectly unprecedented.
deeply regret that it is not in my power to accept
the kind invitation Of the Society to join their lestY
ties, and remain, dear sir, with great regard,
Very truly yours .,.,
