Mr. Morse, the special Commissioner to Bogota, left bere by the Briiish steamer of the 24th of December, for Carthagena. He adopted that mode of conveyance asthe most expeditious, instead of going to Carthagena in the Oyane, which might baye beep much retarded in ber pas. eage by the northers at this season. Mr. Morse paid a short visit to Papama, and visited the independence ard the island of Taboga. It is to be sincerely boped that bis mission will prove satisfactory. He has got a shrew« an- tagonist to dea! with im Senor Lino de Pombo, the Seore tary of State for Foreign Ailairs, who, together with the Vice President, 1 entirely in the hands ofa Panama clique of Senators and Representatives, headed by Don Justo Arosemena, who are bitterly opposed to American interests on the isthmus. My privato letters irom Bogo- ta mfiorm me that these gentlemen are influencing tho go- vernment inevery way against our Minister, Mr. Bow- lin, whoee despatches to the government relative to the questions at issue offend by their plain common sense language, and tell truths the Granadians do not like to lieun to. Itis even reported that the Panama clique urges on the government to dismiss Mr. B., but it ie S>arcely to be supposed that they will listen to such a suggestion. ‘The Inst mail brought the exequatur of A. B, Corwine, Esq, our Coneul here, Some persons imagined that this would have been refused, on account of bis report made to our government on the Panama massacre, but I never for a moment imagined that the executive at Bogota would have ventured on such a stp, which could not but be regarded as offentive by the United States government. The same mai! also brought the decision of the Execu- tive Counci! relative to a claim made by the Pacific Mai! Steamship Company for the return of $122,236 75, paid under protest as capitation tax between January, 1950, ‘and December, 1863, and the enforcing of which a decroe of the Supreme Court decided to be illegal. According to this precious document, ‘‘the annulling of @ provincial law by the Supreme Court is only meant to stop its fur. ther epforcement, without otherwise giving right to in demnity.”’ You will find the whoi — treated fully in the Star and Herald of the Ist. It must be borne in mind thasall this money was under protest, and that the invariable cry of the aut \sies bere, when the compsay spoke cf resisting tho payment, was, ‘Ob, pay ‘under protest, and then you can recover the money again if the tax is illegal.” As for ever seeing the moncy again, I believe it mig! e ‘thrown into deepest valley Lieut.

Ae an ex- ample, I may state that, according to t ‘com: meria! contribetiocn’’ paid in Pacama, the loreigners pay #1,20 a month and the natives $150. If the tonnage tax ‘Was colicoted it would amount to about $30,000 a year, all paid by foreigners, and the United States mail tax Would amovat, socording to Gen, Mosquera’s estimate, to $117,986, for which, it be remembered, New Grana Ga does absolutely nothing, and is not at a single cent’s expense.
