FLORES-- ] AFFAIRS AT PANAMA. The El Dorado brings advices from Panama to the 1st, ‘nd Aspinwall and Chagres to the 8d inst. We are indebted to Mr. U. B. Ferrin, of Adams & Express. for Inte papers. ‘The Sierra Nevada, to sail soon, was at Aspinwall. The Dnited States arrived there on the 20th ult., at 11 A. M. f The mail steamer California, from San Francisco, had rrived at Panama. The Constitution and Tennessee, of phe same line, were hourly expected there, on the Ist inst. Assteamer was seen to enter Panama on the Ist instant, pupposed, as it is reported, to have been the Winfield Soott. It was not probably the W.S., as she did not cave Rio de Janciro till the 26th of February. Passenger trains now run on the Panama Railroad gularly as far as Buena Vista.to which point it was ppened on the 2d inst.,and Col. Geo, M. Totten, the Whief Kugineer, expects to have tho road opencd to reola on the 18th inst., leaving only twelve miles of river aavigation, The regular trains leave Aspinwall at G A, daily. Mail trains are run on the arrival of the mail ships, immediately on their arrival. Passengers leaving spinwail in the morning, arrive at Gorgona the same iy. Fare on cars, $5; from the end of railroad to Gor- igona, in boats, from $1 50 to $3 ; while by the old river ite, from two to four days were consumed, at an ex- pense pecuniarily of from ten to fifteen dollars. The road Jia in excellent order, and the cars are equal in comfort to on our Northern roads. The El Dorado was the first ship to discharge her passengers and cargo directly from the ship tothe wharf. She laid at the wharf while there, and received the treasure and passengers on boar lin the same way, with as much ease and security as could be ‘done at the wharf in New York, thus avoiding the dan- gerand inconvenience attending the landing in small boats at Cha, All the mail steamers now land at As- pinwall, and Chagres is being deserted very fast. Many houses are being removed from there to Aspinwall, and the latter place begins to assume the appearance of a busy and thriving city. THE CHOCO MINES. {From the Panama Star. March 30. There is at present in Panama a party of mn: the United States, who mre making preparations to ex- plore the gold mines of Choco. Thvy will start hence for Cali ip a few days, and we have no doubt, from tho ap- pearanceof the mon belonging to the party. that they will succeed, at any rate, in satisfying themselves as to the productiveness of the mines. ANOTHER MINISTER. The Rev. Mr. Bigham has been appointed Methodist Mission: at Panama, by the Georgian Convention in the United States. Mr. B igham arrived here a few days since, and will. we understand, commence his labors im- mediately. We wich him every success. GOVERNMENT ORDERS. We observe in the Cronica Oficial that orders have been issued by the Governor to the National Guarda, instruct- ing them to hold themselves in readiness to attend any sudden call that may be made upon them for service, in ease of any outbreak in the province. ‘This order appears te have been issued on aceount of the reports received here regarding the revolutionary movements of General Flores against Eouador. THE COUNTRY. On Sunday last. booted and spurred. and fully equipped with gun. powder horn, shot belt, brandy flasks, and all the other neceseary appendages. we sallied forth into the country, in company with a couple of friends, to breathe the refreshing air, and enjoy a'little recreation. Our course lay towards the mouth of the Rio Grande, which we reached in about half an hour's ride from the eity. On our way, we passed the house of the Lepers, ‘where there are, we understand, a number of colored Datives suffering from that dreadful disease, though we saw noneof them. This house is situated near the sea- shore. about a mile and a half from the city; and the neighborhood around is. of course, void of any human pettlement, At the mouth of the Rio Grande, there is a native settlement, and quite an extensive charcoal fa tory, which astonished us very much. There is also a ferry, established for the eonveyance of passengers across the river, who wish to proceed to Chorera. At this set- tlement we procured @ canoe and wended our way up the river, in quest of game, which is generally to be had here in great abundance, ‘The river is full of alligators ; and the sandbanks, as we pr ed along. were covered with these uncouth ammals, asking their brawny backs in the noonday sun; to see them, reminds a forcigner forcibly of the fact that he is really in a tropical climate; and the sight of these strange creatures brings back to one’s memory the thoughts of boyhood. when we used to read the wonder. ful stories. relatedby travellers, about alligators and cro- codiles. and trembl¢ with fear at the thought, ‘The distance from Panama to the Boca del Rio is not more than three miles ; and it is well worth tho while of those who have never visited the spot to take a trip there, ‘The seenery is really and the cool fresh breeze, from Spe ea, is deli freshing ; then there ii Mdimlaln to clamber up, from whose summit tho view is most anagnificent. The harbor, and its shipping—the boy—the numerous islands, and the noble old towers of Panama, with the beautifully inundating hills and val- leys of the surrounding country, form a charming pros- pect for the eye of a painter. ‘OTHER CHANNEL OF WIDE SPREAD COMMUNICATION. {From the Panama Echo. March 24.) ‘We are very much pleased to learn that the Pac fic ‘Bteata Navigation Company are making preparations to eonnect Sydney and Panama with a line of steamers. ‘The vessels will be put on in a very shert time. and as they will be of first clace. with comfortable ac- commodations and capable of rapid trips. there is no doubt but they will be well patrenized. This will be a fortunate undertaking of said company. and is happily projected now. When this line is under way, the Panama route will surely present the two best paths to the Ki Dorado, Emigrants, on arriving here, will then, in many §nstances, have scarce made up sheir minds which route ‘to take, and ovr city will be the arena of far greater com spotition. energetic and active rivalry. Her intercourse will in truth ‘be extended to the ends of the earth, aud all nations will contribute to her prosperity and her ptrength. LATEST FROM en ![From the same paper, March ° ‘A vessel tat arrived yesterday at this port, direct from ‘Tumaco, brings us ious news of tho state of the pro- ‘vince of the abovementioned name, and that of Barbacons. It is: that there has been a general rising. Without doubt, because some have been gathered with the appeal, that they should go from those provinces. to the invasion ‘of Rewador, by Gua.

Bolisring that they the lives of some, if not all, of their number to the friendly oxertions of that gentleman, and dosi- rous to express their gratoful recollection of his kind- ness, they subscribed some $500, for the manufao- ture of a suitable piece of silver to commemorate the service, which they commissioned Mossrs. Tiffany, ‘Young & Ellis to execute. This has just beon oom- pie , and can now be soen at their splendid estab- ishment in Broadway. It is in the form of a punch bowl of ample capacity; and tho beauty of its de- sign, olegance and Appropriateness of its embellish- ments, and the artistic manner in which tho whole is executed, cannot fail to give much satisfaction to the donors, while they roflect the greatest crodit upon those who designed and manufacturod it. Tho design, it is but proper to state, is from the poncil of Mr. Bernhard Christ, the talonted draughtsman in the employmont of Messrs. Tiffany, Young and Ellis, assisted by Mr. ——, also in their service. DESORIPTION OF THE BOWL. It is clogant in form, and of great size, being seventeen inches in diamoter, and sixteen inches in height to top of cover. Tho lower portion repro- sents waves of tho soa, the border surrounding it being a massive rope cable. On ono side of the body of tho bowl is prosented a fine view of Chee taken from a point exhibiting the town on both sides of the river, the old f+rt, and the English steamer in the distance; while, in the foreground are seen the British boats, with the national flag at thoir sterns, bearing tho rescuod passengers out of the river. On the other side is an esoutcheon, su ported, on one hand, by the British Lion, on the other by the American Engle. Over all the flags of the two nations are thrown, bound together by wreaths of olive, while, surrounding the whole, branches of oak and laurel, embloms of strength and victory, crown the ornament of the shield. Upon the escutcheon is the following inscription: — PRESENTED TO GAPTAIN WILLIAM SYMONDS, Commanding the Royal Mail steamer Medway, by the following citizens of the United States, in token of their grateful remembrance of his generous assistance in ex- tricating them from a situation of great danger, at Chagres, in New Granada, on the 23d day of October, A.D, 1851, ¥.

Pwo sea monstors, with their scaly tails artistically intertwined, form cach handle ; and the cover, also heavily embellished with a surrounding wreath of oak and laurel, has Ree handle a massive anchor, entwined with a chain cable. ; The execution of the whole is magnificent, and as a beautiful triumph of art, it may well be a subject of just pride to the manufacturors. it is a subject of sorrowful averae to those who ordered this beautiful testimonial, that the kind- hearted officer for whom it was destined did not live to receive it. It will be remembered that Captain Symonds commanded the ill-fated steamer Ama- zon, which was burned at sea some weeks ago, and there is little reason to doubt that he perished with the many other victims of that sad calamity; but owing to the kind interest manifested by Mr. Robert Bunch, H. B. M. Vice Consul for this State, the donors have ascertained that Captain Symonds has left a wife and children, and to them this evidence of grateful recollection of the husband and father will be forwarded by the next Cunard stoamer—Mr. Bunch having kindly undertaken to procure a Trea- any, order for its admission in England, free of uty. We subjoin a copy of a letter written to Captain Symonds by those he aided, on their arrival here in November last, and also a letter to Mrs. Symonds, which will accompany the testimonial.

NEWELL, New Yorx, April 11, 1852, My Dean Mapat—In the month of October last, a few Americans, (of whom I was one) returning from California, became greatly indebted at Chagres to Capt. William Symonds. for his generous exertions in rescuing them from a position of great peril, as the accompanying letter addressed to him in November last will explain. Desirous to testify our gratitude to him with something more enduring than mere words, upon our arrival in this city we directed the manufacture of the piece of silver Which accompanies this letter. hoping that he would accept it in earnest of our thankful remembrance of his friendly services. But Providence has willed that he should never know how gratefully we recollect his kindness, Ere this testi- monial was completed, and probably even before the letter above alluded to could reach him, a dread calamity had deprived you of a kind and excellent husband—us of a generous and noble hearted friend. Believe me, madam, we have sympathized with you deeply in this heavy sorrow you have been called upon to bear. Not one of us who did not feel the sincerest grief at learning the untimely end of our kind benefactor ; and, though we well know how vain are all earthly con- solations for such a loss, we hope that it ber: 4 prove a source of some satisfaction to you to knew that a few strangers in a far-eff land, whe were perhaps indebted to him for the preservation of their lives, and restoration te those they loved, bear grateful testimony to his poseeasion of those noble qualities which ever adorn the character of an English officer and gentleman.

Various pecpentlens were made as to tho timo, the loth, 6th, and 17th of Juno, being rospoctively recom- monded. int it was suggested that the lace iret be fixed, because by that selection the other question might be settled, inas- tnuch a4 the facilities of travel and distance would necessarily oxert an influonce on the decision. Many opinions were expressed. and argumonts urged for different localitios. Mr. Humphrey Marshall, of Kentusky, thon took the floor changed the current of debate by vo- hemently protesting for a re-enactment of the roso- lution passed by tho same caucus at tho boginning of tho scasion, and declaring that tho Compromise must be affirmed again before his support could bo given to any candidate. Tho ball being thus opon- ed, Mr. Walsh, of Baltimore, Mr. Outlaw, of North Carolina, Mr. Cabell, of Florida, and Mr. Gentry, of Tennossoo, followed, pretty much in tho same strain, tho last manifesting a becoming doference for the opinions of others, and the samo liborality of sentiment which has heretofore characterized his viows. Mr. Parkor of Indiana, a whig, who in a free soil district bravely vindicated the constitution- ality of the Fugitive Slave law, Mr. Sackott of Now York, Mr, Stovens of Ponnsylvania, and others addressed the moeting in a conciliatory spirit, stat- ing there was no disposition among tho whigs of the North to advocate sectional issuos, or to disturb the compromise measures. They had given tho strongest evidonce of thoir sincerity in this reapoot, during the present and last sessions. All they asked from the South was what they required of them at the outset, just and upright acquiescence. ‘This was the tomper of their remarks, and it is put forward as the sense of the Northern whigs, in both branches of Congress. A motion was thon made to rofer the time and place of holding the convention to a joint oom- mitteo; and while it was pending, ahother was intro- duced to lee sine die. At this stage of the pro- ceedings, Mr. Mangum asked leavo to offer some remarks. Ho said he felt it due to his own position to state, in view of rumors which had reached him, of the intention of gentlemen to introduco matters before the meeting, which, in his eatimation, wore wholly irrelevant, that he should decide any such propositions to be out of order. If the sentiments of the majority, under such circumstances, did not correspond with his own, he would readily relinquish the chair, Several of the Southorn members ox- pressed satisfaction at this declaration. It was then finally determined to adjourn until Tuesday week next. [Correspondence of the Expresa.] Wasuinaron, April 10, 1852. The whigs in caucus, numborin; about sixty Son- aters and Repro: tives, assembled in the Senate chamber last evening, and held on, as tho telograph will havo told you, till after 11 P. M., the meeting having been called at 7 o'clock. What was done during these four mortal hours wo outsiders can only guess at; but, as I heard one of the members remark, after coming out, there would be rich read- ings for the reporters, if they could only got at it. There was evidently much debate and much feeling; and yet nothing was done, nothing at all, beyond adjourning to meet again some ten days hence. __ The South, I am told, was very poorly represented in the caucus. Georgia was noi there, nor was Ala- bama, which has two good whig representatives in Congress. The Missouri Senator was not there. Tho Missiesippi whig Senator, Mr. Brooke, was not there. North Carolina, Tonnossee, Louisiana, and Ken- tucky, all whig States, were there ; and all these States, (but Kentucky, and sho in part,) through their members, so far as they spoke at all, spoke in the most earnest and solemn manner against an: nomination, or any action of tho whig party whic! should leave open the Compromise bills to ro-agita- tion under the protection or sanction of a whig ad- ministration. Mr. Gentry, of Tenn., is reported to have made a most touching and powerful appeal to his whig Northern friends, and not without effect. The North was represented in full ; all classes, all compositions, all shades. Hon. Thad. Stevens and Rey. Orrin Fowler, who bolted the previous whig caucus at the opening of Cangress, when the Com- Paauee resolutions were passed, were there. - jovernor Seward, and Mr. Senator Wade, of Ohio, representing one extreme, were thore; and the Northern friends of Mr. Fillmore were also there. Men, with no seeming affinities, were in the same room for some hours ; and, naturally enough, four hours were consumed and nothing was done, The only practical point of discussion involved was (but that led to many other matters) this question,—‘* Shall the time and place be fixed to- night, or shall the caucus adjourn to some other night ?” immediate action was resisted by the South generally, and by Mr. Fillmore’s Northern friends, but that immediate action was insisted upon by the other le. The names of the candidates, however, I am assured, were never mentioned, and their principles or policy in no manner directly connected with their names. This must have been remarkable in the midst of so much warm discus- sion, but the fact shows temperance and forbear ance on all sides. The adjournment over to another night was, how- ever, I presume, but to take time to reflect, te con- suit, to deliberate. All agree in having a whig na- tional convention, and on the duty to fix the time and place. The only real question is, ‘Shall the fight that is coming, and seems inevitable, take place in an open public national convention, or be avoided, if possible, by some concert of action among the whig members of Congress here?’ The South- ern whigs, almost in mass, say they cannot join the Northern free soilers in putting down Mr. Fillmore and Mr. Webster, and their national principles of administration, without some public assurance that their suocessors will sustain those principles. This many of them think they ought ta TAY ere, or, if not here, then in the National Convention it is in- disponsable for their existence at home that such an assurance should be had. Such Northern men, how- ever, as Thaddeus Stevens, Gov. Seward, and Mr. Fowler make no concealment of their views, that such an assurance would be death to them. What can be done amid such conflicting interests, it is not for me to say. How what will be done at the next caucus, which is, fixing the time and place, is to be done, I cannot foresee ; but I apprehend such a rupture on the part of the South as will show us all that the whig purty is practically rent in a sectional twain. Some Southern whigs will yet cling to Northern whigs, and some Northern whigs will yet cling to Southern whigs, but both the minorities will be utterly power- less, and overthrown in what seems to be the rising sectional storm. I may be gloomy in my visions, but I see no land ahead. y The_ practical difficulty arises from the attempt in New England to demolish Mr. Webster, because of his 6th of March speech—and in New York, from the attempt to demolish Mr. Fillmore because he did not veto the Fugitive Slave law. General Scott is the instrument used to do it—not, I am assured, with his sanction or consont; nay, in spite of it, per- hape-and yet such is the naked, tangible, irrosis- tible fact. “Theorise as men please, this is the Eng- lish of all this action. This is what it means—no more—no less. New England is to be asked to sa- crifice Mr. Webstor, and has put Mr. Fillmore upon the altar of the abolition Moloch. If Mr. Webster had made no 6th of March speech, and Mr. Fillmore had vetoed the Fugitive Slave laws, no man can doubt that both would have been Pde tae 10 popular both at Christiana and Syracuse. The South is asked to look and see this sacrifice go on. When New England immolates the illustrious Web- ster, and New York her once favorite, and hitherto invincible son—the gallant whig States of Ken- tucky, North Carolina, Tennessce, and Indiana are veted to send their delegates to Philadelphia to look on, and assist at the sacrifice. Can it be done? We shall see. - 7 I trust that in speaking ef Gen. Scott as the in- strument, though the unwilling instrument, of this immelation of Webster, Fillmore, Clay, too, | may add, and their national principles of administration. no disrespect is implied of that august name. i have too long followed his towering plume in war, and weven for him too many civic wreaths in peace to speak of him with disrespect. Every line I write, ves me pain, in his present position. Never be- is was bis mouth sealed, when his country was in sectional peril! Never before could mortal man, much more politician’s art, hush his lofty voice, or ralyze his mighty arm. I would not write letters, i were he; 1 would make no pledge. I would put nothing on paper, beyond the illustrious deeds of an immortal history. Ne true whig asksit, or expects it of him. But what free, frank men do expect of him—nay, do demand of him—is, that if he be a can- didate, it be so signified by those who make him so, --that every Whig soldier, who goes into action un- der him feels that he serves under a general, whose victory is to ensure to his country, to no section of it, and least of all to the disunion section of the North. Age is coming over the illustrious general. Death will not always spare him whom bullet has hit. The victor of many battle fields can be no victor over the grave. We who carry muskets in this coming fight may go from Vera Cruz to Mexico under him alone with confidence—with all the con- fidence of the followers of Hernando Cortez—but suppose he fall at the Garita, suppose some accident of age, or fortune, supersede the victor there, and sendover him an advancing general (as has been done), we can serve with confidence under no succes- sor. We know nothing of the men about him, with him, of him now. His political staf’ wears a livery that affrights us off.
