the Hon. Isacc Morse, who was appointed Com
missioner on the part of the United States to ar.
range the settlement of the difficulty with the New
Gransdian authorities, growing out of the dread
full riots at Panama, has thus far failed in his

slightest prospect that any satisfactory arrange
ment can be effected, unless the most decided
measures are taken on the part of the United

1t will be remembered that our former Commits.

In his mission. and that one of his recommends
