Age, which took up her passengers &C., did not get
OF from Panama till the 10th inst, and WILL In con-
sequence, be behind time In reaching San Francisco.
Ny last gave you intelligence Of another revolution
and government capsize In Panama. Reinforcement
has met with no favor except among the few persons
directly concerned in it, but as they are supported
by the government troops their opponents
are afraid to say much. The foreign press
OF Panama, the only papers published here.
have come out very strongly In con-
demning so high-handed an outrage on the
liberties Of the people, and the star has pretty ably
refuted the argument brought forward by the
Secretary of State to show that necessity existed
for the change.

CARNATIONS issued turning captains into colonies,
cotonels into generals and generals into commanders

The cattle estates through the interior are nearly all
ruined and i Is very doubtful whether e within two

these political squabbles Is that the commerce Of
Panama, almost exclusively in the hands Of foreign
