The Panama Chronicle says-That the
amounts of contributions" assess d are illegal,
we are certain: that they can be Iaid Is impos-
sibe. That commercial body, which has sus-
tanned fTghtful losses through the disastrous
civil wars which have occurred, should now be
called upon to Increase their impoSts TO tue
State In consequence of such wars, Is something
monstrous that 1T almost forblds calmness in
cCndemning it. The amount assessed per

is 5000, which is equal to so cents per year for
each inhabitant of The city, paupers incuded
and other houses are taxed IN similar proper
tions. That such taxes can be submitted TO is
impossibe-that they can be paid is impossible
also. The abolition of custom houses was in
;epded as a boon to the merchants for which
the State received and now enjoys more tnan
an equivalent. Such concession would become
a curse If 1t be followed by the monstrous ex-
actions now sought.
MosoUERA AGAIN.
A proclamation has been issued by ex Presi-
oepi MotqueTa, dated at Lima, Dec. o, 1868, In
which the General alludes to the element of

MORE TROOPS FOR THE IsTHMUs.
The Panama Star and Herald has the follow.
ipg:-On the 4th inst. one hundred and hfty
national troops. under command OF Colonel
FoTeIa, arrived at Asptnwall from CarthRgena,
per steamer Conway, en- route for Panama AL
though we have no official announcement of
what these troops are sent to the Isthmus for,
their mission seems very clear, and in con-
nCctiOn herewith, we can now discover the
true m ission of Senior Pradilla The fact that
General Mosquera desires to return to this
country and TO again place himself at the head
q the Government is manifest, as well from
his own published circulars as from the fact
that he is brought forward as a candidate
for the Presidency by considerable por.
| That he has many supporters in Panama is
| also evident, ana IL Is probable II he were to
land here that he would carry the State against
| Salgar This fact has created considerable un-
easlness in the capital, and there can be no
| doubt that the main object of Senior Pradillo's
mission was to ascertain the public sentiment
| h, re in reference thereto. For length of time
| b. fore his coming here the troops just arrived
| were in readiness In BArranquilla to embark
| for the Isthmus when the necessity arose for
| their presence here. senor Pradllla must nave
thought that time arrived wnen he left A pin-
| wall, for we find the force shipped here by the
| return of the steamer which conveyed him to
Carthagena.
AFFAIRS AT BoaoTA.
| Dates from Bogota to the 18th December give
| very gloomy description of affairs. The city
presents the appearance of a battlefield, with
soldiers running through the streets night and
day. General Mosquera ard General S ,lgar
| have been brought forward as Candidates for
the lllh of December, says that senior Ignacio
| Gutierrez Vergara, President of the State OF
| CundinBmRrca, has been condemned by the
| Legislative Assemble TO eight years in the
| changing and deprived of all right to ever
| The 18th of December says that the Assembly
| had afterwards granted him pardon, which
| the conserv vatives looked upon an insult, and
insist hat Senor Gutierrez Will not accept 1t.
AFFAIR IN CHILL.

The crops in the southern part of Chill
ale not likely to turn out favorably. The
prospects are better in the North. The

was felt at Coqutmbo, which extended north
