The Panama Herald of the Sd inst, has the follow
ing in reference to this NATTER
Our readers will not be surprised to learn that Mr.
Bown the U. S. Minister, and Mr. Morse, the Special
Commissioner, jointly deputed to lay before the Ex
ecutive of Bogo the proposition of the United States
Government, relative to the 18th of April have been
unsuccessful that negotiations have been suspended
and that all further action in the matter rests
with Mr.. Buchanan and his Cabinet at Washington.
Not only has the demand of the United States Coy
ernment been refused, but according to private
advices the refusal has been so nsutngly conveyed
that there remaus but one of two courses for the
United States to adopt, namely, either to submit to
be insulted and brow-beaten by New Granada, and
quietly to withdraw her claim to adopt that princi-
pile of "self-preservation of which the new Presi-
dents inaugural spoke, and take by force the indem-
mites and guarantees that have been denied to her de-
mandS for redress.
Mr.. Morse, it is stated, left Bogota on the sth of
this month"; but did not arrive at Carthagena in time
to meet the British steamer tor Aspinwal. Mr.. Bow.
ln we understand, will leave the capital so as to
reach here in May or June.
There remains nothing now but to await intelli-
gence from the United States as to how the matter
will be looked upon by the new President and his
Cabinet.
