A Vight Defeas of the Conservatives Near Guarare—An Amusing Order—Taxes Doubled on Business Men—Scizures from Foreiguers—Financial Trouble with the Australian Service. PANAMA, Oct. 28, 1868, The military expedition mentioned in my last as having started for Ohiriqui bas already gained an important victory on the way. The expedition left here on the night of the 19th, under command of the President, General Correoso, On the 20th it called at the Department of Los Santos, and there found that on the 16th the conservative party pronounced against the government and placed Ildefonso Mon- teza in charge as Prefect of the Department and Daniel Velarde as Commaner-in-Chief of the forces, which numbered upwards of one hundred men. Correoso ascertained at Guararé that these People intended marching on Panama and cap- turing it as soon as news would reach them that the expeditton had left here for Chiriqul. He at once therefore landed his men and marched on La Villa, the headquarters of the enemy, where he gave them battle and defeuted them, completely routing the entire force. Correoso’s loss co wounded, lowing:— Killed—Eduardo Bricefio, Juan José Colunje-Juan de Dios Tristan, Pedro Iglesia, Menlo Collado, Fran- cisco Rodriquez and three others, names unknown. Wounded—José ©, Obaldia and Santos Mogonuza. The brecch-loading rifles which were seized here in the store of P. A. Memio & Co., belonging to a New York house, proved very useful to the Correoso men and did good service, After the fight the Presi- dent embarked bis troops at Guararé and proceeded to Sona, where he wiil visit Santiago, the capital of Vevajuas, and then start for Chiriqul, so that Wwe shall hear Zotniig more of him for some dayé. If the conservatives ve} resistance tn Chir. tu the fight will no doub? be a despérate on%, as the fate of the contending parties will then be definitely settled, aud they are preity equally matcied, [tis tite however, thaf the Chiricanos will run after he first fre, though their friends here feet confideat in their success.

We trust the Governor wii see the folly of the notice, and not only have it at once rescinded, bat at the same time Pe the strictest instructions to sentinels in no case fire on passers by unless when they commit some outrage. thein be arrested and examined if there exists any necessity for it; but in the uname of humanity don’t shoot unoffending citizens down in the streets like dogs for committing no offence be- youd that of being deaf or not speaking Spanish, or not even knowing what password to give in reply to the sentry’s “Allo / Qutén vive??? Several foreigoers live in the neighborhood of the barracks, and must ne- cessarily pass there to reach their homes, and should any disagreeabie accident happen to them, it is more than likely @ still more disagreeable accident may take sed before the matter gets finally adjusted; so the firing, if necessary, at tne discretion of a sleepy soldier had better be postponed for the present, A decree has been issued ordering that a large amount of the paper money of the State be at once ut in circulation, the saine to be receivabie by tae ‘reagury for certain debts due the State, The com- mercial taxes have been ordered to be doubled. As this money 1s required solely for the ty of carry+ ing on internal and eternal civil war la the State, it looked upon as ievying & war tax on foreigne: they are not disposed to pay it; but, as the cons are without definite instructions on this point, all 4 can done, I suppose, is to pay and protest. It comes rather hard on our foreign merchants to have their business broken up uy tuese political feuds and forced to pay double taxes at the same time. The railroad company, in order to save their laborers from being recruited into the army, are obliged to board and lodge them on their remises, at au expense of about © mouth, sides which the inen are kept constantly dodging from their work to get out of the way of the soldiers, who are looking out for them. At one time it was feared the transit would be closed for want of laborers, a3 evea those brougit by the company from tue neighboring republics wader contract have not beea respected, and tere is no power here to protect them, The Consul for Costa Riea and Salvador, Mr. Gregorio Miro, @ native of Panama, lias been severely rapped over the knuckles by the newspapers here for allowing citizens of the countries he represen’s to be forced Into the army here and taken to fight in Chiriqul without protesting against the pro- ceeding. A couple of boats belonging to British subjects were forcibly seized by order of the President as a military necessity and taken oif ia the expedition, against which the British Consul has made a most ene! protest in his own name, whic wili proba- bly draw forth a scolding from John Bull. The authorities havi in vain tried by bribery and threats to seducegthe commander of the Colombian vease! anchored tn the bay—tho Boil to take ro with the provisional government le] it What called the legitimate party in Chiriqu!, but fearin, the captain might take sides with theo iegitinnsts conservative party and being unable themselves to seize the ship, finally addresged a note to the United States, British aud French Consuls here, requests them to ve her seized by the foreign vessel: of war tn the harbor if sho attempted t6 leave her Qnchornge. It is needless to say no attention tas been paid to such nonsense, as the Consuls consider that these foreign vesseis are here simply to protect foreign interests and not vo act either as a ‘ce guard for the State or lend their ald tu keep- Ing the balance of power in the hands of one or the other political factions which are perpetually dis- turbing the country, it looks as if the Australian line via Panama was drawing to a close, or rather as if the present com- pany had run the jength of its tether. Several thou. sand pounds steritng of draiig drawn by the agent here on the company in London have been return protested. The compauy owes here probably in all not less than £15,000 and about £60,000 to the Royat Mail Company.

Avarchy—Cundinamarca=Cauca and Tolima at War~Telegraphic Enterprise, PANAMA, Oct, 28, 1868, By way of Buenaventura late dates have been ro- ceived from the capital of the republic. The news is very unsatisfactory, Judging from the tone of the Teading journals of Bogotd, La Republica says the State of Cundinamarca is in complete anarchy, the State and national authorities being ail at logger heads, and thinks that open civil war is preferable to the existing state of affairs, La Paz says:—The State of Oundinamarca ts in a condition of semi- anarchy, which anywhere else might be called anar- chy complete.’ It paints the country in a terrible condition, La Prensa takes a similar view of affairs and i—“Every one fears that war will be the result of ail these dimcuities.” ‘These ae eae to different political parties and ans the belief that a revolution 1s inevitable at before long the republic will again find it- involved in 4 civil war. It is reported that the wae of Tolima its about to be tnvaded by e expe. ition from the State of Cauca; and if 80, this will undoubtedly be the commencement of the civil war, because Antioquia is bound to take part with Tolima, and the general government will thus unavoidably be drawn into the trouble, The electric telegraph im Antioqnia has heen finished from Manizales to Cartago, making perfect the communication between Cartago and Medellin, and it 1s now only necessary to conclude the line from Ibague to Cartago to have telegraphia com- munication from Bogota to Medeliin through the four States of Cundinamarca, Tolima, Cauca and Anti- oquia—a distance of 318 miles, The construction of the line costs $106,000, of which the State of Anti- oquia has paid $30,000 and the general government $70,000, The halt savage population of the country through which the line runs are constantly destroy- ing. i causing an Lumense outlay to keep it in jer.

Owing to the scarcity of money business was exceedingly dull, and as a correspondent writes to the Star and Herald the few who are fortunate enough to have any in their possession keep a secure hold of it, and whatever little business is transacted is on credit only, even to the selling of bills of exchange on Europe. News from the provinces tells us alsg the Same story, and that commerce at present is quite at a siandstill, However, we may believe that this will not last beyond the end of the month, when, it is ex- pected, the new Bank of Ecuador wiil commence its operations with an entire change of currency. ‘Thea trade must be brisker and more stable, A new contract has been arranged between the government of Ecuador and the Pacific steam Navi- gation Company, in which the subsidy Is somewhat Jess than formerly and a limit put on the passenger trafic between the poris of Ecuador and Callao. ‘The Pacific Steam Navigation Company, throrgh their general manager, have made a handsome do- nation for the relief of the sufeiers by the late eartiquakes tn Ecuador, and have offered to convey, free of freight, in any of their steamers on the coust, packakes so desiIned for the same purpose.

Havana, Oct, 31, 1868, On the 29th the Captain General received a de- spatch from General Prim as Secretary of War in the provisional government of Spain directing him to recognize the existing government and to imaugu- rate at once such reforms as had been edopted in Spain. He was also informed that, by the mall steamer which was to leave Oadiz on the 80th he would receive full and complete instructions. As soon as the despatch was received the Captain Gen- eral made the most energetic efforts to keep tt secret, but without auccess. Its reception is, however, not generally known. Up to this hour—ten o’clock A. M.—nothing has been done, nor has the despatch been made public, ‘The course of General Lersundi tn holding aloof from the new government is sorely criticised by ail parties, and such is the state of feeling here that should no change take place ere long he may be de- posed with a celerity of which he little dreams. It is claimed that he is striving to embitter the Spaniards and native residents against each other to prevent any unity of action, and is avoiding any farther re- cognition of events in Spain, in the interest of Isa- bella and in hopes that a favorable turn may be made in her bebalf. Numerous arrests are betng made for no other crime, as far as can be ascertained, than supporting Prim and the other leaders of the revolution in Spain, Some of these are imprisoned and others are ordered to retarn to Spain at once. Among the latter is Colonel Modet, of the engineers, who took a prom!- nent part in the Junta which called on the Captain General on the 25th asking him to recognize the new government, &c., as stated in my despatch of the 27th, The following named persons have been ar- rested and are now confined in Morro Castle, viz.:— Rafael Lanza, Bollido Luna and a@ notary public named Reguieyra. Don José de Armas y Céspedes, formerly one of the editors of the Siglo and now of the Matanzas Aurora, 1s here, and has been ordered to leave the capital by firat steamer for Porto Rico, The first mentioned prisoner ts incommunicated, but o others are allowed to see their friends, Among those reported arresied 1s Nestor Ponce de Leon, a prominent young lawyer of retired habits, on suspicion of being one of the originators of a committee of Cubans that went by last New York steamer to represent to Mr. Seward the precarious situation of adairs resulting from the action of Gene- ral Lersundt, A deputation of twenty free negroes, of bad char- ter, residing in the suburbs of the town and engaging in thievery and pillage, recently called on the Cap- tain General and were admitted to th rape a They stated that the rumors of a rising of the blacks being contemplated were entirely faise; that there never was less danger of it than now; that they were ready to support him in case of need, and, if armed iy With siicks, Would Qght for him to the death, The General professed himself much pleased and said they behaved better than the whites, There is a statement generally current that the Captain General is desirous of leaving the island and ing to the United States; sath even proj al to fixe the Morro Castle for New York to-day, but was dissauded by his immediate subordinates, who sug- gested that he could with propriety ouly take a war vessel for Spain if he desired to leave. ‘The distrust of the future is at present very great throughout the province, so much 60 that planters aad other large capitalists are sending their surpins nds tothe United States for investinent, and ex. change on that country has become more valuable as the natural result, In the city trade ts ata complete Standsill, each and all waiting the tarn of events, The funds of the Spanish Bank stand at a discount of from two to tl per cent.

Havana, Oct, 31, 1868, In view of the recent change in the character of the Spanish governinent and the ever-existing inter- est felt by every American in this island, whose ultl- mate destiny, as all such believe, it is to form an in- tegral part of the great republic, a few considera- tons in reference to its immediate future may not be uninteresting. Cuba may well be styled the brightest jewel in the Spanish crown. Its contributions to the government amount to $36,000,000 yearly. Of this sum at least $10,000,000 is net, pald into the Spanish treasury and for its sole use and behoof. Of the balance, by far the greater portion is paid to Spanish ofelals, civil and military, the yearly expenditures under the heads of law and equity, public works, education, &c., being comparatively insignificant, Under o form of government resting upon bayousts, this con- dition of affairs may continue for an indefinite period; under one bassed upon the will of the people, with free press, free religion and liberty of association, it must end very soon, In consideration of this he need be no prophet who shall foretell a speedy sepa- ration between Cuba and the mother country, or such @ change in their relations that the province Will be valueless, Proximity to the United States and their very exten- sive intercourse with that Power have taught the Cubans the advantage of #eif-government—the ben- efits to be derived from regulating their own affairs, They desire independence either as @ State in the Union or a3 a separate nationality. Priar to the late civil war the former doubtless would have been pre- ferred, but now tho question of eerey, has changed ail this and the great raas# would bitterly oppose it. Peaceful annexation is in the very distant future, With the foregoing facts before us, it may be safe! set down that Ouba will be a de; pedriee of tui Spanish crown for po longer perlod than fen years, ‘The value of the isiand to the Spanish government’ 1s set dows at $100,000,000, There tay ve in reality no r this esilmate, but it has come to be gem ‘erally accepted as correct, With the euormous exactions drawn from this eople, the uncertain tenure with which Spain hold he island, the a gfgat saving which must oceur fro’ a withdralval of the army dnd navy and the reguiat« ing their affairs by the people, the idea of purcbasin their Independence frou the mother SHEr, att vice mentioned has suggested itself, and its advail- Rages may be seen at a glance. it would be a matier of saving to the Cubans, aly lowing that Spain will retain possession of the province for five or six years, ag in that time more than that amount would be exacted from them over and above what would be seaaeed for the expenses of self-government, while on the other hand, spain, in the moment of her greatest _ would ve sum qaite as great a4 unger the most favorable cumatances shé cag ever expect from the tslan: and that extending through a series area The money could be easi here, and with its nient would follow perfect peace and content among all c and a revival of trade, now trated, Whigh Would be Of incalculable benefit le.
