Its dates from Bogota, the capital of the republic, are to the-20th of May. The reform of the constitution had been defini- tively adopted by both houses. A disgraceful occurrence had taken place in the capitol, arising from the congregation in the Cham- ber of Representatives of a large number of the Ca- thedral Democratic Society, for the purpose of in- fluencing their vote on a petition to increase the duties on imported manufactured goods. The ses- sien, however, was finished with decorum, but some of the representatives were afterwards attacked in the street, and in the melee one man was killed by a stab in the shoulder. OR ISTHMUS CORRESPONDENCE. Isruuvs or Panama, June 17, 1853. The Isthmus—The Health of the Inhabitants—The Railroad and Probability of Settlement and Culti- vation. The advanced state of navigation has made the Isthmns of Panama a neighboring country. The lo- eation of this country, dividing the two seas and the Union from the land of bullion, the fertile nature of the soil, and the marks of civilization that already exist, have long since eloquently invited citizens of the States, Emigration continues immense, and the news for consecutive months corroborates the fact that the causes of disease, about which have been so many exaggerated reports, and which are common to all new countries throughout the world, are rapidly passing away. The ranches are being cultivated, exotic vegeta- bles are introduced, corn, potatoes, and tomatoes are annexed to the indigenous list, and the orange, lime, banana, and blooming maize, compose a part of the stock of fruits and flowers. The most beautiful birds in the world no longer sing alone to the native and wild beasts, but fly low over cultivated fields, and the sound of music attracts the ear of appreciating civilized man. The people are occupied in trading, raising cattle and hores, hunting animals, tugether with a large number of men engaged on the Panama Rail- road, running from Aspinwall to the city of Panama. This road is now in a very prosperous condition. It ‘was commenced a year or two since at Aspinwall, on the Atlantic side, and carried on in the direction of Panama city, on the Pacific coast. In addition to ,ose building the road inthis direction, the con- tractor, Mr. Story, has placed a force of men at Pan- | ama. who will construct the road towards Aspinwall until it meets and is finished. The work affords an | excellent opportunity for the laboring man to get pay | for uis labor, and will soon complete the least labor- ions and most pleasant route to California. I am in- formed the contractor pays the mea employed on the read with a liberality proportionate to the profits it wil! yield when completed. It isa fact too well estab- lished that Dow-e-daya the laboring men at home, from the slave to the freeman of the North, are gene- rally poorly paid for services; aud it is also true that when the pocr man has deducted from the amount of his earnings enough for his board, lodging, and medi- eai attendance—all of which are given on Mr. Story’s work, in addition to an amount of money more than | equal to what they would receive at home without them—I say it is too often the case that the laborer finds nothing left for other necessary expense. Health statistics of mouths past, Tirectly from physicians employed by the contractor, came under my notice recently, in which I find sickness no greater than, in my opinion, it would be in portions of our Western States. Having spent a portion of my life on the Isthmus, | T eee nothing to prevent increasing emigration for permauent living. The fine lands of the country Must again grow harvests which they appear to have produced in other times, the plough must wend along the sward, and religion and civilization make a wholesome sign. Cosmoro.iTz. AsPINWALL, June 17, 1853. Growth and Destiny of the Young City—The Rail- road Across the Isthmus—A Ball in Aspinwall | —New Journal—Demand for the New York HeRacp. I cannot permit the present steamers to leave with- out bearing the impress of affairs as they exist here in this emall but destined to be the largest and most flourishing city south of the American border. We are scarcely a year old, aud yet there aré erected nearly a hundred houses, and the busy clack of the hammer may be heard from one end of the city to the other. There are about two hundred and fifty Americans residing here, all of whom are pushing abead in those various channels of business so characteristic of the universal Yankee nation. Scarcely a year ago, and the only shelter for the officers and employes of the Panama Railroad con- sisted of two or three miserable dwellings, hardly enough to protect them from the pelting rains so characteristic of this country. Now handsome stores, dwellings, &c., raise their heads as monuments of Yankee industry and enterprise. The weather for the last week has been truly de- lightful, although this is called the rainy season; and did we not know we were living ou the Isthmus, we might challenge any climate ia the world to equal it; but then it will be difficult to wipe out the stain already thrown upon it, and I tarn from a discussion in this letter of the unjust stigma on its fair fame and | credit. The roads from Craces to Panama are in a bad state, and the Governor of the Proviave of Panama visited Aspinwall a few days since to obtain from the Rail- road Company laborers te repair them; but he was unable to accomplish his Mg oe in consequence of the | scarcity of men now on the Isthmus. The railroad is ing rapidly, the fine weather of late having effected much towards its steady march to the old of Panama. A few evenings ago @ ball was given at the hotel of J. Jaramillo, in honor of the advent of the Governor to our thriving city, and there were as- sembled the ton of the place to participate in the joyful festivities ofthe evening. The evening was pas- singly beautiful, and all were agog to pay their re- spects to our valued friend. As we entered the room, which was hung with three chandaliers, diffusing a meow light all around, we observed the national flag of New Granada, festooned With blue and white’ ribbons, while in the centre the national coat of arms stood ont in bold relie/, and every Spaniard appeared t) feel entire satisfaction in his country’s emblem. The Governor, who is a fine locking fellow, fair, fat and forty, was the special object of interest among the fair sex. At nine o'clock the dance began, and such an incengruous medley I never saw. The dark eyed daughter of Spain, the negro and the malatto from Jamaica, the pative of the country, and the white man of the North, were all mingled in the mazy figwres of the national fandango. The dance begyars description; none save those who have participated in such like sports, can imagine the in- congruity of the scene. At 11 o'clock we were sum- moned to supper, and partook of a sumptuous repast which reflected great credit on our worthy host, Senor Jaramilia, which over, the ladies were escorted to ‘the ball room, while the gents remained behind, of- fering free libations to the god Bacchus} while song and sentiment concladed the evening's entertainment, and al) left for their homes feeling happy with ‘‘all the world aud the rest of mankind.” Tauppose you are aware we are to have a semi- weekly paper published here, by F. E. Poster, for- merly editor of the Panama Echo. Already much progress has been made in the matter, and next steamer will bear to you the first number of this vir- gin sheet. Many of off citizens are leaving here for the World's Fair, to remain a few weeks in the North, amid the busy dia of the great metropolis of the West. May health and happiness attend them. More anon. P. 8.—For the last two steamers we have scarcely bed Heratps enough to get the news. All are anxious for the Hurap, and, in fact, it is the only paper inquired after. Will you please send a few more by each steamer, and oblige, AN OLp Svunscarasr. Later from Venezuela. The Panameno has dates from Caracas to the 21st May. The republic of Venezuela was then suffering from internal commotion. On the 12th May the Executive power directed ‘the Governors of the provinces to remove all om lation of seditious pamphlets, and to use all their power to preserve peace, order and public tran- quillity. The President afterwards, on the evening of the same day, went to the Council of State soliciting ex- traordinary powers, as he judged the republic in a state of armed commotion ; and he was authorized by that body to call into service five thousand militia, to negotiate a loan of half a million of dollars, to issue orders of summons or arrest, and to exercise those faculties for the term of ninety days. By virtue of these powers were arrested for interrogation Messrs. Ramon Landa and Ramon Alcaldo Pina, the first the author of an opposition writing entitled “El Bachaquero,” and the other, the owner of the press in which that periodical and others of like character were published. Notwithstanding the alarming rumors in circula- tion the capital was tranquil. The opposition press had disappeared. A lithographed writing was in circulation, menacing the members of the govern- ment. The ministry had taken serious measures against the lithographer and the authors and circu- lators of the publication. It had also circulated a sheet threatening with reprisals the party hostile to the administration. A letter to the Philadelphia North American dated June 14, says:— tue adfecent province: ted Hit tro dupont i ae on the part of the people in favor revol Intelligence from Cuba. OUR HAVANA CORRESPONDENCE. * Havana, June 18, 1853. More of the Legal Farce mm Cuba—Landing of Slaves—Seizure of American Journals. The following is a literal translation of a govern- ment notice which has been published in the Diarto de la Marina of this city every day since the 8th inst.:— * eae ae re Andiencia Pretorial—Second Court of Justice—Advocate’s office belonging to Don Jose Sorva.—By decree of the Royal Second Court of Justice of this Royal Audiencia Pretorial in the rocess formed to investigate the circumstances at- nding the disembarkation of 700 Bozal negroes at Ortigosa, jurisdiction of Bahia-honda, it is command- “ed that within the term of eight days, the master and crew of the schooner Casualidad, which on the 18th of December manned that vessel, and Don Rafael Avela, the overseer of the estate Sierra, shall pre- sent themselves at this superior office, for which pur- pose the said parties are called through the press, to enable them to clear up a certain act of justice pend- ing in said process. Havana, June 7, 1853. (Signed) Joss Sorva.” Any body reading the foregoing would, from the wording of the notice, naturally enough conclude that the 700 negroes referred to as having been landed at Ortigosa, had been brought to this island in the little schooner Casualidad; but, upon second thonght, it would strike any sensible person, how on earth it could be possible to bring 700 negroes all the way from Africa to this island in a schooner? No such thing; those negroes never were brought to Ortigosa in the Casualidad, and the foregoing government noticé is nothing more nor less-than an audacious attempt to hoodwink and deceive honest peoplr into a belief that the Captain-General is in earnest in his intentions to put au end to the slave trade, which he pretends is to be done by publishing ridiculous notices like the foregoing, inviting the guilty ones to present themselves within so many days at the pub- lic jail, to hear their sentences pronounced; an idea as little likely to be complied with, on the part of the slave traders, as it was intended it should be by the Spanish official who issued the decree. The schooner Casualidad, lately the Cora, has been‘a very successful slaver. Not long ago she landed a cargo of nearly 300 negroes at or near Sagua le Grande; the disembarkation of the slaves having been safely effected, time also was given by the authorities for the materials, stores, Kc.,to be removed, and then it was she was’ seized by them, when, doubtless, much merit was made of the cir- cumstance that this useless vessel—for the owners abandoned her as worthless, too bad even to risk another expedition to the coast—had been captured in consequence of the stringent orders he, (General Canedo,) had issued to put down the illicit traffic. The landing of the 700 slaves at Ortigosa, referred to in the foregoing announcement, took place upon a much more recent occasion, and all the circum- stances attending their disembarkation were fally reported to you at the time, so that the shallow dodge attempted in the government notice publish- ed in the Diario dela Marina every day since the Sth instant is clearly oe it being intended to hoodwink and deceive those who may not be ac- customed to Spanish trickery. The following is a synopsis of this case :—A short time ago a large bark, formerly the American vessel Parodi, arrivea at Ortigosa with 700 slaves from Africa, consigned to_the house of General Canedo’s moet intimate friend, Don Joaquino Gomez. Of these 700 Don N. Bustamente bought 189, and took them to his estate, near Guanahay. Over 200 were mrchased for the account of her Majesty Queen ‘hristina, by her agent here, his Excellency Don Antonio Parejo, who, accompanied by & large party ot armed men, in person proceeded with his, or hers—as you like—newly purchased ne- groes, to a potrero near San Antonio, where the ne- groes were to be placed for the time being for the purpose of becoming acclimated. But it is scarcely worth while now again to enter into all the particu- lars of an affair already passe, when there are so pond new casses of the same kind to engage our at- nuion. I confirm in toto the detailed accounts of the recent disembarkations of slaves, effected with the full knowledge. consent and connivance of the au- thorities at San Juan de los Remedios, Bailen, Mariel, District of Cienfuegos, Ensenada de Cochi- nos, Rio Zaza Trinidad, and near Sagua. Many veseels are daily expected to arrive from the coast of Africa, and notwithstanding that the Spanish jhe gs have, according to the reports in the ondon T'imes, completely succeeded in blinding the English minister at Madrid into a belief that they and General Canedo ere in earnest in wishing to put down the horrible traffic in Cuba, it has néver been carried on to such an extent as it is at this present moment. The crews of the slaving vessels walk about the streets of Havana with their pockets full of gold, and openly boast of their having dodged the English cruisers, whilst the captains and mates are con- siderately accommodated with passages to Spain on board Her Majesty's steamers. Of the 1,160 landed from the Lady Suffolk nearly 800 were purchased by the owner of the estate Santa Barbara, in the district of Villa Clara, where they are now to be found. Per eae City I shall write more fully. In the meantime, I remain, &. P. S—The mails per Empire City had barely reached the Post Office here, and some few of the letters and newspapers had been delivered, when an aid de camp of General Canedo arrived with an or- der from his Excellency to deliver the bags of news- papers to the aid de camp, who conveyed them in a carriage to the Political Secretary's office, where =, now are. ‘ou must not be opiate that these people should display such a want of courtesy towards our free and enlightened press; they treat their own—that is to say, the papers from Spain—with just as little con- sideration; and if Mr. Lorenzo del Busto sets’ apart one side of his office as a receptacle of the forbidden- to-be-read American journals, I know where there is another room in this city almost filled to the ceiling with Clamor Publicos, La Orden, and other Mad- rid and Spanish newspapers, whose political opinions might lead astray these ever-faithful; and so they also are forbidden in common with the other filtbusteros of the North. The letters are cut with a sharp instrument, in order to ascertain if any slips from pewspapers were enlosed in them. The mer- chants were mortified in the extreme to receive their letters hacked and cut in such an unaccountable manner. Havana, Jane 22, 1953. The Arrest of a Wealthy Slave Trader—An Old and Exploded Game. There is a tremendous panic among the slave- traders. Julian Zalneta, their recognised chief, was arrested yesterday morning, and is at this moment taking his coffee in the castle of the Cabana. This is precisely the same game which was played by General Canedo a few weeks ago, when, after An- tonio Capo had comfortably effected the landing of about eleven hundred slaves near Cardenas, Messra, Suagnavar and the other owners of that expedition were arrested and confined fora few days in their own houses at Matanzas, and then set at liberty, re- ceiving back, as a sort of compensation for the little inconvenience they may have been put to by being compelled to stay at home for a short time, the throe handred slaves which had been seized by order of General Canedo, but which were now commanded by His Excellency to be retarned to their original own- qr, under the nameof emancipados—a description of pervitade a thousand timés worse than any slavery. _ Of course you are well aware that the natives of ‘Cuba bave long since set their hearts against the fn- troduction of more slaves from Africa, and that the promotion of the diabolical traffic is altogether con- fined to the actual traders, who are generally a set of low Spaniards, principally from the province of Cata- Inna, and the neédy officials who are sent out frovm | Spain to better their ruined fortunes. These few worthless wretches have the business entirely in their own hands. It appears that the numerous cargoes which re- cently have been landad on this island, especially in ; the case of the notorious Lady Suffolk, have been | effected under circumstances so glaringly audacious | as to have completely disgusted the proper thinking | portion of this community, who clamorously have | expressed their opinion as to the scandalous conni- | vance of the government in all these transacticns; and this is the true reason why Zulueta has been | arrested. People naturally enough inqaire of each | other how it can be possible that the enormous num- | ber of «leven hundred slaves could be landed, and | marched through the island, without attracting the notice of the local authorities, who, it is well known, swarm in every direction of it? Viras, the captain of the Lady Suffolk, erecta knew, was allowed to remain in this city unmolested several days, and was then considerately accommo- dated with a passage to Cadiz on board her Catholic Majesty's steamer Ysabel la Catolica. he clamors of the People here, but above all, the threatening tone assumed in the London Times of the 25th and 3lst May. following so soon upon the recent warnings in the New York Henatp, is really the cause which has induced Canedo to arret the chief of the slave-traders and owner the Li Suftolk, Julian Zulueta. But I ll point out that this step was not taken by his cellency General Canedo until after the arrival of the an mail per Empire City, on the 19th inst., notwithstanding that long previously, all the circumstances connected with the arrival and disembarkation of slaves from the Lady Suffolk and the other vessels was as notorious as the sun at noon day, and was, and is still, the common topic of conversation at every place of public resort in this city. Inthe meantime, until the public indignation is appeased, Mr. Zulueta has very comfortable lodgings in the airy and cool castle of the Cabana, (Tacon’s Palace, [the jail.) was not good enough for such a respectable indvidual, besides he is very rich,) where he has his servante,and every luxury he may Sy Seas allowed. He is under no restraint whatever, being permitted to promenade, whenever he thinks proper, the whole length of that vast fort. His intimate friends, Forcade, Sama, Baris, &e., &c., visit him at all hours, and, as I have known it to be the Peactive in similar cases, where plenty of money has been at command, I would not at all be surprised were I to encounter any evening after dark Mr. Za- lueta, the riod prisoner, taking his drive through the streets of Havana ! ~ News from the West Indies, The arrival of the steamsbip Merlin, Captain C:onan, at this port, on Thursday night, put us in possession of our files from Bermuda, Jamaica, and Demarara.

Let us take for ia- stance the article of railroad iron, as showing, first, one of the causes of increase in our imports, aud, secondly, the extent of our immediate liabilities. Ia the month ending June 25, 1852, the imports of this commodity amounted to $136,375, whereas in the same moath of the present year the imports were $804 283—an increase in one article of commerce, within the limits of a single month, of $667,0¢8. Without indulging in +pecalations or theories as to the effect such extended purchases have upon our monied resources, let us recapitulate the recent operations of the Ohio and Mississippi Railroad Oom pany as illustrative of an argument. This company have iu the process of con: truction a road through the fartile dia tricts between Cincinnati and St Louis, a distance of 335 wiler. The bends of the company have for their ludemnity the combined wealth of each distriet which it tra- yerres, and, thus fortified, finds ready sale in foreign markete, With their official bonds, due at a long period henee, the company purchased their irom in Lendon, amounting in the agscregate to $2,000,000, on the most sdvantageous terms; and it would be por- tentous of awaziog ignorance of our national char- acteristics and integrity to assert that, in the long in- terim to exist between the date of purchase and the ma. turity of their bonds their revenue could vot be shaped to meet the exigency. Itis an uncisguisadle fact that each rew thoroughfare developes new sources of wealth. Our country is not to be impoverished by the purchases of railroad fron, evea though our import account shows an annual increase of five hundred per cent. The movement in foreign dry goods also shows a large inerease over the previous year; and the same may be said in regard to every other leading item ef commerce’ but our markets are not unususlly plethoric Our im- ports of certain merchar dire must st all times be com” wensurste with the influx of consumers, and it is there- fore palpable that so long as the inerea:e in our foreign trade is confined to necessary and useful articles of con- sumption, £0 long will our country be free from direful consequences. Our exports, theugh not ephemerally rapid, show a tteady ard healtby increase; and as the country becomes more déeveleped, and its internal resources more culti- vated, the wide margin that now exists between our im- ports and exports will gradually diminish, until it finds its Jevelin inferior insignificance, ‘The Tream ser of the United States Mint, Philadelphia, has furrisbed the annexed exhibit of operations in that institution during the month of June, 1853:— U.
