SION that Nj. buchanan would direct new in

Gen. M"squera had introduced IA bill in the
New Granadan Scnaie. to send one thou . aud meu
under the federal Authority 10 the Isthmus, TO
protect the transit and commercial interests
there against the vicious population that has
gathered in the suburbs Of Panamn. He has ad-
vocated tins measure for several years in Cor.
gross, and had his advice been followed some
years sihce the Pannma riot would never hase
occurred. lie has always held that a police force

a sufficient protection TO the great interests that
cross the l'thmus. His proposition was supper
ted ny tho Conservative patty. but opposed ny
the liberals on the ground that it was re estat,
fishing the old system of forced emil -tments.
Should il be- adopted the Isthnus of Panama ard
the trade of that city would be- safe against I .

Election were to be held in the present month
for President and members If the Nicaragua
Congress. The old teuds between the legitimi-i
and democratic pariie, were beginning 10 show
Themselves, and ii was suppose would be as
strong as ever. The prospects for the coming.
elections were in favor Of the legitimate party
but even among the democrats no sympathy YVES
entertained for Walker.
The struggle over the transit route Is ms g reut
as ever here. There are now at least four cIul
mants in The field. Commodore Wand. hilt. AS
repre- sentative of the old Accessory Transit
Company; Garrison. under the lGvas-Wnlker
grnn:; Webster as holder of the new grunt from
Costa Rlca aud Nlcara qua jointly, backed by Mr..
Grinn"Il. and Il new one in the person Of the
British Consul in Nicaragua, Mr.. Manning. The
first three are urging our government 10 su stain
them. and MI. Manning has appealed to Lord
Palmerstnn.
Webster has gone back to Nicaragua to stir
up matters there. Before leaving here be c allied
upon Lord Napier to ind .ce him to cnnn,e'lancr
and lend his sanction to his (Web.tcr's) grant.
But Napier told hun he would have nothing 10 do
with it; HAT the American interests in that route
weIe greater than all the others put t~ngethe,, and
he had no doubt the American government would
do what was right and proper in the ense. Mr..
Buchanan will act with ereat circumspect 90 in
this queslion.-N. \. Heraid.
