The Ameri? can riflemen say that they do not concur in the petition to council by the captains of tho English, Irish and Scotch teams for permission for them to shoot at the same time with tho Elcho Shield compe? tition, and that they will not compete in that match. The council has not yet acted on the application of the three captains. London, July 20.?Tho Daily Telegraph says Russia has officially announced her intention of' withdrawing her proposal for tho continuance of the Brussels con? ference. A few gentlomen, while breakfasting with Mr. Graham, a former member of Parliament, opened a subscription with ?25,000, to build up a Young Men's Christian Association hore. The captains of the British, Irish and Scotch eights, in n letter to tho council, express the hope that the various sugges? tions for the match will lead not only to a oontest botwoen tho toams of tho United States and the United Kingdom here? after, but will insure an annual competi? tion at Wimbledon for tho championship of the world.

TelogrraDhic?American News. New Yobk, July 18.?Tho United States steamer Powhattan, from Panama, the 8th, brings the following news: Tho trouble between the Stato of Panama and tho Federal Government has been set? tled. A treaty of peace was concluded between the Federal and Stato Commis? sioners on the 2d inst. In consequence of this agreement, Gen. Camaga was libe? rated from prison and reinstated as chief of tho national forces on the Atlantic. Tho battalions stationed in Panama were to bo rcliovod by othor forces from Bo? gota, and tho Stato Government took upon itself to protect the transit until such time as tho othor troops from Bo? gota arrived. Dr. Pablo Arosemend has been declared elected President of the State of Panama for the next constitu? tional term. The State has thrown its vote for Dr. Menes for President of Colombia. A dreadful riot took placo at San Miguel Salvador. A great deal of discontent bad boon excited against tho Government by its refusal to allow a pastoral of the Bishop of Salvador, written in a tone, hostile to tho laws, to bo read in tho churohes hero. Thoro had also been considerable hostilo fooling among tho lowor olasBes, owing to some regulations requiring dealers to use a.new markot Slace. Whilo matters wore in this con ition, a priest named Palacios preached a violent sermon against tho constituted authorities on Sunday, tho 20th ult. That evening, the mob rose, attacked the jail and liberated 200 prisoners. They then proceeded to assault tho small garri? son and took tho curate!, killed Generals Espinoz and Castro, out the former to pieoes and throw tho j pieces at each othor, split tho skull of General Castro and threw him over a wall, whore ho was pioked up by his mother and died in three days. The garrison were nearly all assassinated and many honorable citi? zens killed. After this, the fanatio mob ? sot fire to some sixteen houses with kero? sene^ ? Before the town was entirely de? stroyed, it fortunately happened that the British ahip Fantomo was at Lannion, ?where she landed her marines, which allowed, the garrison thero, united with- some troops from Amopala in Honduras, to march to the 'relief of San 1 Miguel'an d~ put down tho mob. The curate Palacios, at last accounts, was arrested, with others that bad participated in the outbreak, and a good many of the inferior rioters bad eon shot by order of President Gonza? les, who had arrived with troops. "With tho houses destroyed and pillaged, the damage is estimated at $1,000,UOU, and commercial failures ore looked for in consequence. Tho country has been de? clared in a state of siege, and President Gonzalos is taking measuros to establish order and bring the perpetrators of this disgraceful outbreak to condign punish? ment. The Dlarlo, official organ of the State, and all tho public prints, abound in indignation against tho priests who were tho instigators of this savage and sanguinary affair. The Cepilutar Vicar, , for tho edict published by his order, and I Joso Manuel Palacios, ex-Canoniga of tho Cathedral of San Salvador, and the mu? nicipality of this city, asked to have tho I said Palacios removed, but tho Curia Ec I clcsiastia paid no attention to the peti? tion. Ho was continually sowing hatred between tho lower and well-to-do classes, nnd the result has just been described. Ono curious and incredible discovory was made after tho murderous affair was over, and that was that on the persons of some of the doad rebels wero found pass? ports, which read, when translated: "Peter, open to the bearer tho gates of Heaven, who has diod for religion. Signed, George, Bishop of San Salvador, and scaled with tho seal of the Bishopric of San Salvador." Baltimore, July 19.? The suits insti? tuted in tho Courts of Common Pleas, on Friday last, by tho Governor of Mary? land, the Stato Comptroller and the State Treasurer, respectively, composing the Board of Public Works, against the Bal? timore American, for libel, the damages claimed being $25,000 in each case, are likely to become adjudicated. In ruling the cases, to-day, Reverdy Johnson ten? dered his professional services to tho proprietors of tho American, which, hav? ing been accepted, Mr. Johnson's ap? pearance was entered in each case as their attorney. In his letter volunteer? ing his services, Mr. Johnsen says: "My motivo for making this offer was this, that from the ground on which I under? stood tho suits have been brought, I thought that the public interest was con? cerned, and that the freedom and useful? ness of the public press were involved. This being my impression, I cannot agree to receive any pecuniary compen? sation. Owing to tho high official and equally high social character and repu? tation of tho plaintiffs, there can bo no likelihood of compromise or settlement short of a decision of a legal tribunal; the official conduct of these gentlemen being involved on tho one part in these cases, and the extent of the right and liberty of tho press to criticise and charge corruption to public officers on the other." Tho suits have already at? tracted attention throughout the State, both parties being represented by the ablest counsel in Maryland. New Yoke, July 20.?The Portugese brig Fado, from Oporto for Halifax, was totally wrecked, July 10, on Sable Island, ninety miles South-east of Nova Scotia.
