PANAMA, Sept. Is, 1850.
In my last letter. September /, stated that politi
cal matters were apparently quiet, but that be-
lieved party were busily NJ work endeavoring TO
get up new revolution to overthrow the present
government, which has been In existence about one
year. There is now public evidence that such was
the case. For week past much fear and excite
ment have existed throughout the city, and no one
would be surprised to see revolution break out at
any moment, though all who feel an interest in the
welfare OF the country ferveuy pray that such cal
amity may be averted. The present government is
anti acknowledgement to General Mosquera,
now in Punishment IN Peru, but whose name has
been brought forward as candidate for the Presi-
dency Of the republic during the coming term-and
this State at the late elections went in favor OF Gene
raj Salgar. M0squera's opponent. The object Of the
anticipated revolution seems to be to overthrow
the present government declare the late elections
illegal and void, hold new elections and carry the
State In favor OF MOsquera President COrreos0 and

received here that negotiations had again been
opened by the government at BogOta With that OF
the United States for the cutting OF canal across
this Isthinus. The terms proposed are In some re-
not 50 M 20 ts W as nose
more agreeable. The news is well received here as
the declining prosperity OF the isthmus needs some
grand enterprise OF the kind TO revive it, and the
government Of the United states is more in favor
here than any other. 1t Is also stated that Rear
Admiral Davis, of the United States Navy has been
appointed to conduct the necessary Surveys, and
