      C HIBIQUI ROAD COMPANY . —Notice . — The Directors of the Chiriqui Eoad Company have the satisfaction to state to their shareholders and the public , that , in reference to the right and title of territory through which the road is to run , and of which they never had , and never could have the slightest doubt , a file of the Official Gazette of New Granada , extending from the 1 st of January to the 3 rd of August last has come to this country by the last West Indian Mail , ( the ' se Gazettes may be seen at Lloyd's Merchants' Room , ) which sets the disputed point completely at rest . These Gazettes , throughout the period mentioned , abound with official orders and decrees , civil , military , financial ,-and commercial , in reference to that portion of New Granada in which tho Veraguas , Chiriqui , and Bocas del Toro , are situate . In these we find returns of all descriptions , local and Customs revenues and expenditure , ordered by the Supreme Government , and furnished by the local authorities and proper officers of these provinces and districts , adverting to years that are past . Especially we find the returns from the Custom-house of Bocas del Toro ( see Gazette , July 17 , ) for 1840-1841 , the year wherein the Costa Rica advocates have told us that the New Granadian Government had no establishments or authority of any kind there . But still more decisive are the contents of the Gazette of April 6 , which , in a Supplement , gives us the official census of the population of the Republic of New Granada for 1851 . It is dated Bogota , January 20 , 1852 . In this census , which shows the total population to be 2 , 243 , 730 , we find discriminated every province , canton , district , parish , and hamlet , with the population of each , the number of electors , and the number and the names of the senators and representatives _ appropriated for each province , and now representing these in the Legislature assembled at , and which holds its sittings in , Bogota . From this curious and important document , the Directors place before their shareholders and the public the following account of the population , & c , of Veraguas and of the Province of Chiriqui . formerly part of Veraguas , and the western portion thereof : — Population . Senator . Representative . Electors . Province Chiriqui , 17 , 279 1 1 16 Designated and divided thus : — Canton of Alonje ^ District — David ..... 4625 Alanje 3149 Bocachica , A . - - - - 104 Boqueron .... 845 Bugaba , A 331 Caldera , A - - - - 137 Dolega 1506 Gualaca ----- 1351 Remedios- .... 1584 San Felix 515 Sail Lorenzo .... 1777 San Pablo .... 730 . 16 , 654 Bocas del Toro ... 547 Boca del Draco ... 78 San Miguel .... 625 Total .... 17 , 279 The name of the Senator is Antonio Valores ; the Representative , Nicolas Lopez . The number of deputies sent to the Provincial Legislature is 11 . Besides this , the Directors can state from official authority that the Vice-President of the Republic of New Granadn has largo estates in tho Bocas del Toro ; that his wife is a native oi' that district , and their family and connexions highly respectable . When not on duty elsewhere , the Vice-President and his family reside at David . Next let us look at the province of Veraguas : — Population . Senator . Representative . Electors .
