THE SLAVE TRADE.-washington, Aug. 23--The
administration is arranging measures for the more
efficient prohibition of the foreign slave trade. The
squadron on the coast of Africa is to be largely IN
creased, and to consist. of the United States war steam
ers Mystic, Sumpter, San Jacinto and Mohecan-also
the sloop-of-w war Constellation, as the flag ship of the
squadron, with the sloops-ofwar Portsmouth. Marion,
and Vincennes. In addition to this increase on the
African coast, the United States war-steamer Crusa-

lished a list in detail of all the messages sent over the
Atlantic Cable during the few weeks it was in work
ing order. The list fills seven columns, which that
journal foots up as follows: 1859 words, and 23,22l

DARIEN CANAL RoUTE.-It is understood that q
party for the exploration of a ship canal route across
the Isthmus of DaAeu, is about to organize, chiefly
from officers and men to be detached from the Gulf
Squadron. 1t will be remembered that Lieut.. Strain
led a similar expedition a few years ago, and nearly
lost the lives of himself and all his party, by getting
lost IL the almost impenetrable jungles Of that tropi-
cal region.
Tho purpose of the new expedition is to test more
thoroughly the accuracy of their statements. Gis-
borne, Cullen and Surgeon Caldwell, of the United
States Navy, insist that there exists a depression or
gap in the Cordineras through which the work of
cutting a ship canal would be comparatively easy.
They declare further, that they actually crossed it
to a point from which they could discover the ocean
upon the side of the Isthmus opposite to that from
which they started. The new expedition is expected
to proceed on board the Prebke, sloop-ofwar. to the
eastern terminus of the proposed route. Every one
who accompanied Strain expedition is to be of the
party.

LONDON, August 4-Paris correspondence of the
London Star mentions a rumor of the Rothschilds
retiring from business. If the rumor prove true,
not only Baron James, but both the sons, Gustave
and Alphonse, would also withdraw from business,
the accounts of the house in Paris be closed, and in
short, it would exist no longer after the month of
December. The deplorable state in which, Nathaniel
Rothscbilds still remains-who, in the flower of his
age aud strength, has been suddenly struck with
paralysis-and the uncertainty of financial opera
tons, in the present unsettled state of Europe, have
decided Baron James to take this step, so it is said.
