Panama correspondence says: A British
frigate appeared off Carthagena on the 9th
: of February, and the Captain addressed
note to the President, insisting that the
British Consul should receive the mails be-
fore they were sent to the local postoffice.

past offences in respect to the matter. The

proposition. A war steamer in the service
of Mosquera came into the port in the
meanwhile, and was seiz d by the English

threats of taking other measures in the
event of noncompliance, and the President
fearing bOmbardment, succumbed and
apologized, promising to do better in the
future.
