We extract the following account OF affairs in
Central and South America from the correspond
ence OF the New York Trtbune:-
COLOMBIA.
Quiet tRsstoTed-FtnancIaI DimcuItIoa-
Depression OF TrRds-Fsar Of n New
Revolution.
PANAMA, Aug 3.-Quiet has been completely
restored throughout the State The steamer
Moptilo sailed hence on the evening Of the LIST
inst. Tor Iona, where she will take General
Ponce and the troops under his command on
board, and convey them to Chiriqui to suojugate
that department. aud carry out the same pro-
gramme enacted in the other departments OF the
interior.
10th instant with General Ponce aud his forces,
provided no opposition is met with from the
Chiricanos, which l think is hardly to be ex-
pected now. The Provisional Government found
great difficulty to raise the money to pay the
owners OF the Montijo the amount OF her charter
money, the latter very properly refusing to credit
the newly constituted authorities. The expenses
already incurred by the Government in the last
revolution are very heavy, and there is natu-
rally no money in the. eXchequer. The loans
and advances made by the merchants have
been inadequate to meet the extraordinary ex-
penses incurred by the late revolution. 1t
was fully three days before enough money
could be raised to pay for the chartering OF the
steamer, and the authorities we're at last CON-
PEELED to tall back upon the time-honored GUS
tom OF borrowing from the merchants, In the
present instance almost all the leading houses
have paid their taxes IN advance up to next
December. What new dodge will be devised to
get money when more is wanted, is not yet
apparent; but it will be difficult to obtain 1t
uiles3 refuge is taken to forced loans, the last
but almost eiectual resort to fill an empty
treasury. We already beginning to reap
some of the fruits Of revolutions; business is
stagnated and lfeless, all commercial transac-
tions with the interior are nearly suspended
confidence is shaken, and merchants and busi-
ness men are loudly complaining OF the injury
done by the last revolution.
PANAMA, Aug. Ave are, it seems, to have
more trouble. News reached here to-day from
the interior that General Ponce ard General
Meza have had a quarrel and the latter 1mpri-
sone1. The nature of their quarrel, whether
personal or from political motives, has not yet
become sufficiently known; but there is every
reason to believe that Meza will overthrow
Ponce and set up a government of his own.
General Correoso one of the political pests of
Panama, will hold on to the militia, as l in
formed you yesterday, and will not permit
General Ponce to disband them. No doubt
Corr eoso and Meza will join together, and in
that case we shall have plenty of trouble and
TO predict that this Isthmus will not long
remain quiet. The men who headed and
successfully carried out the last revolution
are men of influence. and are no re-
specters of the laws-and it would be folly to
suppose that they ill favor any peaceful means,
i'll carrying out their schemes OF personal ag-
grandZement In the meantime the foreigners
are the real sufferers; they have the largest in
terests here, and they are the first to suffer the
bad effects brought anout by revolutions and
political unquiet. 1t is rumored that the con-
derivatives in the interior are preparing 10 effect
n acounter-revoIution and arms and ammunition
are being secretly conveyed thither, so you may
rest assured that there is yet trouble in store
for u.s. Why don't the United States Govern
ment put an end to these oft-recurrlng troubles!
They tend to embarrass the transit, endanger
LIE and property-and jeopardiZe the Interests
of ali parties both native and foreign. 1t is GER
tain that under the present order OF things we
shall never have peace.
