Since my last there has been nothing of moment
to disturb the tranquility Of the public mind
The St. Marys is still kept in state of preparation
to resist and punish any outrage that the people Of
Ell Cenaga may be led to perpetrate, but it is to
be hoped her services in such capacity may not be
quired. Everything apparently wears a peaceful
aspect. Passengers meet with no interruptions in
making the transit, and the public mind seems to
have settled down to its usual every day quiet
Panama has been recently visited by three vessels
of war, two French and one English the former the
steamer Sornsier and frgate Embuscado the latter
the steam sloop Brisk, neither of which remained
long in port. The usual courtesies were extended to
them by Captain Bailey of this ship, and returned
by them. The authorities of Panama gave an en-
tertainment in honor of the Frenchmen, to which
invitations were also extended to the officers of this
ship but which were respectfully declined. An en-.
tertainment has recently been given in honor of
our Special Commissioner, Hon. Mr. Corwine, by his
old friends and admirers which was attended by the
officers of this ship, and at which the best feeling
was manifested. I think the selection of Mr.. C.
most judicous one for the settlement of this dii.
Guilty, as he appears not only to command the re-
spect of the natives but to be very popular with tho
foreign portion Of the population of Panama There
has but little tranpred in regard to the settlement
OF the matter but it is natural to suppose from the
steps which this government has taken since his ar
rival that they their in not having had su
Gent guard stationed at this terminus for the pro.
lection Of passengers, treasure, &C., heretofore by
their endeavors to make things more secure for the
future. There has recently arrived here from
the interior company OF troops, who are
to remain permanently. People appear to

Captain Bailey think, has acted throughout the
whole of this trying difficulty in firm and dgnifed
manner, and as becomes all those who have the
respendence with Governor Fabrya his tone was that
of man conscious of the strength of his position
and the justice of the cause in which he engaged
at the same time showing an evident wish to settle
everything peaceably and without resort to force.
There is one little circumstance connected with the
recent outrage that rcquiresa passing notice think
Among the passengers per the Illinois at that time,
were those of almost every nation. Even among the
killed, they were not all Americans but yet the 90
vernmen OF the United States appears to be the only
one which has deigned to notice that an unheard Of
crime has been committed on great highway of the
world, and that toe, by people who, should not a
would take occasion q less provocation to commit
o second barbarity.
Count holland, Consul of France. has been re-
cessor appointed to fill his place here. It is to be
hoped the Count will find the climate" of Bolivia
" conducive to health" and that he may long live to
enjoy the bounty of grateful government. 1t is

probably Col Gareda. understa and, is very popular
with the military. and that Governor Fabrya en-
joys the same distinguished regard from the nigger

to appear at Bogota, which he win be obliged to,

Business men in Panama complain bitterly of hard
times, which complaints are about as well founded
az those of business men in general There are no
sailing vessels in port at present excepting coasters

We bear little in regard to the rcdoubtabe Walker.

II is said that he is a Christian, and there il no.
doubt he viii have opportunity Of practising one
OF those greatest of Christian virtues patience. By
the way we have shipped a man who formerly be

His statements do not reflect the highest credit upon
some Of Walkers subordinates- Schlessinger in
particular.
sincerely hope we may soon be ordered home.
The climate is not the most healthy in the world in
the region Of Panama; although this ships company
has, thanks TO the indefatgable attention OF DIR.
Drayton, been almost exempt from the sickness
generally prevalent at this season of the year.
1 would mention q slight misprint OF names, or
rather name, Of an officer OF this ship, which
occurred in your issue Of the LIST of July" Pana
ma Correspondence. G. that Of Lieut.. Jouett,
spelled Janet in that paper-a trivial matter in
itself-bot "a all men do not know Mr.. Jouett l
think il due TO him to make this remark.
II is the intention Of Mr.. Corwine to leave by this
steamer. l think he has reason TO be satisfied with
the result Of his mission. More anon

Corwine, in not to leave here the steamer Of the
