Hs - states : At;the time the excitement broke out, I was rep:tiling the trite() :States barque "'Anita." The 4orkmen were receiving $3 per day, and lived' km board the vessel.

It is much more uncom fortable than the 4imate of Brazil st the warm- , esti setison of the Year; and everything was lit-', eritll4parched up after a drought which bad thcfn Continued for near three months, aud which had lfiremontbs more to run to-the rainy season. 1 .He then pes on to state where the gold is foandl—how it is gathered—the extent of its depUlsit—whl: are the chief miners—the number of persons employed, and a number of other particulars. In another letter, the Capt. says : Something should be done here at once for the , establishment of peace and good order in the country. All law,, both civil and military, is at an end. Among the mines, and indeed in I most parts of the country out of the Tillages, • no authority but that of the strongesti, exists ; and outrages of the most disgraceful nature are constantly occurring, and the offenders go un punished. There are now about twenty-five vesselS in this port, and I believe there is not , lenelefl them tlmt,has a crew to go to sea. During the whole year that I was collector of this port, there was not a gun mounted for • commanding the entrance of the port, and there was net a United States man of• war in the harbor. We were exacting a "military contri butiptihof mar Iltithrtrity i " and we possessed not the slightest nab f ai meszugof preventing vessels from leaving in de indeed.. the threat' to do sol!was made more than once during Mgt' time. ~ For months past there has -seldom been_ more than one Merchant vessel at Monterey at I a time,-and frpquently none at all; and still 1 that iii 'the general place of resort on the coast ' ' ! for men of war.! At this time, such is the state lof affairs,hereithat at least.,zoe armed vessel ought; to be eo stantlrin port. The letters are too long for our space—but we present their most important points. An inforniant of the Globe, giving some informs-1 tion touching-the route to California by they Istlimns, says : • 1 Aftergetting away from Chagres, which can not be left too soon—the mosquitoes are neither II numerous nor troublesome. There' are scorpi- l ods, however, that keep one in constant bodily,; fear, though they do not often sting ; and now and then a centipede shows himself; to the great ,dis comfort of the traveller. It is better to disembark at Gorgona than at! Cruces, in the:dry season, and vice versa. - The ; country over which the road passes is not nearl so uneven from Gorgona, and is dry in the dry season, but almost impassible in the wet. Three years ago there -was a pretty good tavern at Panama—good for the country.,—; wherethe charze was two dollars' per diem. Four ;dollars is an exorbitantly high price— worse ;than London, or Paris, or Havana, or Nev; Orleans—all dear places.
