PANAMA. Nov. %, 1873.
The revolutionary storm in Panama seems for
the present to have blown over, and peace Is
established in the city and State
After the deleat OF the rebels by the government
forces in the interior OF the State General Correoso
took refuge on board the United States ship Beni-
cia, at anchor in the harbor. and finally took his
departure for Central America. So far President
Neira seemed to have everything his own way; but
the Constitutional Assembly, which he had called
together, turned out to be not obedient to mis-
wishes. He, however. signed the new constitu-
tion of the State, the chief reform in which
consisted in having reduced the Presidential term
from four years TO two. But in other matters, such
as continuing himself in ONCE, they were begin
ming to show an opinion differing from his own.
He determined on a coup d'etat to upset the whole
affair and begin de nouo For this purpose he went
In the night to the barracks with small guard
and persuaded the militia to obey his orders. His
first measure was to order sentries to be placed as

A general amnesty has been declared for all po-

Isthmus by the TACT that the banking house OF

The steamer Montio, carrying the American nag
and owned by Messrs. Schuber Brother, and
which has been for the last six years past doing
share in every state revolution, has been disposed
OF to the Costa Rica government for fair re-
muneration. The sale OF this vessel, taken in
nection with the latest warlike news rom that
Republic, leaves little doubt that she win be en-
ployed there as here, In carrying troops, &C., to
aid In the work about to be undertaken from the
side OF Costa Rica to regenerate Central America.
