FROM CENTRAI Ann soUTu AMERICA

The Ariel with the California mail and $50, 225
in specie, arrived at New York on Tuesd ay morn
ing. Her California advices are mainly anticipa-
ted by the pony express.
Among the passengers by the Ariel are ]. NJ.
Dow, Esq, commander of the steamer Guatemala,
and Thomas F. Meagher, Esq, agent of the con-
templated overland route through Cbriqui.
The news of Walkers fate had been received at
Panama, by way of Havana and New York. and
created some excitement
| NEGRO INSTRUCTION AT PANAMA.
The negro instruction at Panama seems to be
over The people felt safe while the place was &C.
cupied by the English and American troops, though
| there was much talk about foreign influence. The
Star says:
yesterday morning, the Sth instant, about ten
O'Clock, the British and American forces were en-
| parked on board their respective ships, the Clio
and st. Mary's, at the request of the Intendente,
having held joint possession of the city since the
morning of the 10Th ultimo. During the stay of
these troops shore the residents of the city, both
native and foreign, have felt degree OF security
which could not otherwise have been guaranteed to
them, and considerable, trust needless, alarm is
| felt by many people at their withdrawal. The
British Consul still retains his guard from the Clio
in case of necessity; and we presume the command
| ers of both vessels will again render prompt and
willing aid, should the lives property of their
| countrymen be endangered
| ''The good conduct and order maintained among
the forces whilst shore is highly creditable both
| to the officers and men, and shows disposition on
their part to avoid any trouble with the native pop
ulation, deserving of great commendaton."
| The American and English troops have since re.
turned to their respective vessels.
Captain Porter. of the United States sloop ofwar
| st. Mary's has received from gentlemen of Pana-
ma letter of thanks for his protection over Pana-
during the recent troubles. In his letter of re-
| ply he says:
| "lt affords me much pleasure to notice, gentle
| fhak, ha,.
men under my command. Upon them all the bur
den OF duty falls and it is not often that honest
Jack gets his due share of praise, but can truly
say that If all the officers and sailors in the United
States naval service were composed of such men
as have the good fortune to command the Ameri-
can citizens would have occasion to fear in the
| hour OF need, and of such men the government and
citizens of the United States should feel proud
| twill always afford me pleasure to have it in nv
power to be the means of protecting the lives and
| property OF my countrymen, whenever in ieo-
pardy.''
Blanco and Corresoso, leaders of the revolt, have
been arrested but their fate is as yet undecided.
Up to the sailing of the Ariel, further devel-
| opments. The following is given by the Star as
the cause of the troubles and the probable result
:" The evil has been originally created by driving
number OF the laboring classes from their homes
TO seek shelter IN the woods, in order to avoid be-
ing forced into the army. The fact nay be denied
but it cannot be reuted, because the proof is too
| seltevident and every one knows it, although it
may some OF the authorities to acknowledge
it. In addition to this forced enlistment these PEG
| pie have now before them the dread of being ar
rested revoutionsts, whether innocent or guilty
! should they make their appearance near the CITY,
and they are consequently still hiding themselves
| from the vengeance of the authorities, whom they
now look upon as their prosecutors. * *
| Many well disposed men who are now hiding in the
woods to avoid serving in the army, through fear
OF being arrested on suspicion, will, in another
week of suffering and desperation turn out the bit
terest enemies of the government"
N official bulletin, dated Manizales, Goth Aug,
1860, gives an account of battle between Generals
Posada and Mosquera in which the latter de-
feated, retreatng in good order, Posada lost only
eight dead and ten wounded, whilst Mosquera is
reported to have lost one hundred and twenty
eight dead, and it is supposed many more who had
not yet been found. Mosquera had upwards of
8 900 after the battle and five pieces of artil-
lerv; whilst the government forces only numbered
l6S6, badly armed. The morning after the engage
ment Mosquera hoisted a flag OF truce, and finally
an armistice was agreed upon. Mosquera agrees to
suspend hostities against the general government;
to revoke his decree of the separation of the State
of Cauca from the Confeder alton; to grant a gene
raj pardon to all persons compromised in the pGti-
cal movements.
In the event of this convention not being approx
ed of by the general government, the hostile forces
were to have twenty days of rest before again

There was not much change in the affairs of New

General was not exactly defeated, but nearly so, at
Manizales. truce followed, and certain terms
were proposed by Mosquera a basis of settle
ment, which, it is said, have been rejected BY the
Government, which is in possession of all the ports
| of Cauca Mosquera's State. But though the revo-
luton seems nearly at end, it is supposed that
intrgues at the capital and variety of party in.
terests will tend to protract the war. Panama was
quiet at the sailing of the Ariel and the British and
| United States naval forces had been withdrawn;
yet there was considerable uneasness and rumors
that the negroes contemplated another attack kept
| the people in state of great anxiety.
| The United States claims against Peru are no
| further advanced than they were at previous ad-
vices Our Callao correspondent hints that little
| firmness would settle them very quickly. Presi-
dent Castillo paid visit to the Lancaster which is
at Calao, and received with all the honors due
to his position There is considerable dssatisfac-
| ton among the officers and men of the American
squadron, the alleged cause of which is the fact
that they are paid in base money of Peru and Be-
livia, the real value of which is less than repre-
sented.
