HIGHLY INTERESTING INTELLIGENCE YROM THE TERRITORY OF CALIFORNIA. " SPECIAL DESPATOHES TO THE NEW YORK HERALD OFFICE. Sr. Lours, Aug. 26, 1847, Last night, Gen, Kearney, accompanied by Major Sword, Captains Cook and Turner, Lieut. Radford, and ‘© number of other gentlemen arrived from California, which place they left on the 18th of June, making the trip in the unprecedented short period of sixty-eight days. They came by the way of Fort Hall, and met with but little of incident on the way. Col, Fremont was of the party as far as Fort Leavenworth, and in ex pected in the city,to-day. He is under arrest. The snow in the California mountains was found very deep in places—from two to fifteen feet deep. A number of the bodies of those emigrants who perished last win- ter, were found and buried. Tho sufferings of this band of pioneers must have been dreadful. Of the whole number, one only survived, and he lived on the bodies of his companions for many days. It is moreover suspect- ed that this individual, Kingsburgh murdered = Mra. Donner, one of the party, for her fat. He almost con- essed as much. Gen. Kearney left Monterey on the 3lst of May, with an escort of 13 men of the Mormon Battalion ‘is com- mand, including Col. Fremont, and nineteen of the topo- graphical department, was afterwards swelled to sixty. Capt. Mason, ef the.First Dragoons, was left in com- d, as Governorand Commander in Chief. Gen. Kear- ney on tho eve of his departure, ordered Lt. Col. Burton to prooved by sea to Lower California, and take posser- sion of that country. Inthe harbor of Monterey were anchored ships of war Columbus, Congress, Portsmouth, Warren and Erie, Commodore Biddle was in command. Com. Shubrick, with the Independence and Cyane weve inthe Gulf blockading Guaymas and Mazatlan. A great number of Oregon emigrants were met on the road, numbering over one thousand wagoas. It was thought that some of them would be compelled to win- ter in the mountains. ARGUS, Monteréy, Cauivoania, June 1, 1847 ‘We find ourselves in astate and situation both strai and peculiar; we belong to no nation and are governed by no laws, We do not belong to Mexico, because Ungle Sam has taken us away from that nation; we do not be. long to the United States, simply because until there is some definite treaty between the two nations, Uncle Sam has no right to this country. As Vattel says, “a con- quered prople must, for the time being, be governed by the conqueror, by the laws he finds in existence, The United States government cannot allow us even a form of a code of laws. ‘Tis sald, afd some be- Heve the story, that Mexico had laws in California, but as they cannot be found, and the oldest resident have no remembrance of them, either in theoey or practice, we must live on us formerly, in lawless blessedness. We have, however, a fair supply of lawyers the present yee: and each one can produce the laws of his native Stat ‘and urge on the Aloaldetheir adoption as most applicable to the case in hand. In former days we sold and barter- ed without taking notes, and lent or borrowed hard dol- lars and gold ounces without having any suspicion that an obligation was of apy importance; we even paid and received such lent money without taking mo: 8 on our neighbor’s hovse or land; yet in our infancy, and can barely understand the real necessity of ‘both lender and cweipehed ager an ounce «ach toa lawyer to make thd bargain safe and good. We find by those who left home of late yeara,that wy ure all right smart behind the march of intellect and civilization of the other side of the Rocky Mountains. | am uo prophet, yet can imegine th t the code of which we are learning respect- ing debts, will increase the borrowers, and bave a sensi- ble diminution in the number of lenders or sellers. The town of Monterey is slowiy increasing, the inha- bitants are yet content to move on as fast us they safely can, whilst those of other pisces think as fast as they aay way can is best. ure falling in prices; pro- duce from the Ranchos rising ; for instance, a fanega (two bushels) of beans, in 1845, would be required to purchase anarobe, (26 paunds) of sugar; this year the case is reversed, making four to one in the Ranchero’s favor. All the young emigrants ot 1845, boldly and promptly took up arms to put down the Mexicans and Californians in the revolt of October, 1846, and saw Commodore Stockton and Col. Fremont conquerors throughout the territory. Anticipating that with the pay for their services, and for guns, powder, lead, mules, horses, wagons, harness, &e., they gave up to prosecute the war, they should re- turn tothe Sacramento with fumds to purchase lands and stock; they may be woefully disappointed. 1 ho, not; a year will tell; if it proves as I fear, may the right man bear the blame. For ten years California has been governed by many a chief and commander, rather too many at a time, making sad state of affairs. | fear we shail follow Sattel too closely. Gen. Kearney, Cols. Cook and Fremont, Capt. Tur- ner, of the army, Lieut Radiord, United States navy, are leaving here for the States. Commodores Biddle and Stockton are in this port, and also the “Portemouth,”’ ‘ Warren,” “Dale,” “Erie,” “Lexington.” The “Indepen dence,’ and ‘Cyane,” are off Mazstlan. Ports mouth,”’ in March or April, took possession of the Ame- rican ship “Admittance,” Captain Peterson, at Cape Sen Lucas, on suspicion of wanting to lands cargo of New Orleans cotton at San Blas, and for cqgmmunicating with the ery: Politioal affairs in California are quiet, may remain so. Santa Bannana, Upper Ci » i ware 1 ea i I dropped you a letter a few deyssince, butin thisland, not yet penetrated by opposition mails and cheap post offices, it is always safe to send duplicates, and a private bag being made up for New York directly via Rocky Mountains, I eagerly embrace the opportunity to give you and your five hundred thousand; readers an ides of things as they at present exist here, and my “private opinion” in regard to this famed “El Dorado of the West.” Everything is quiet here now. For the last three weeks, however, rumor has been continually following rumor to the effect that Gen. Bustamente, Gen. Flores, or Gen. Castro was marching through Lower Californiaand com- ing up here to dispossess “los Americanos,” the rascally invaders of the soil of California. Some of these stories have come with such an air of probability, that the com- mandants of militaty posts have held themselves in con- stant readiness foran attack, and the Congress, with Commodore Stockton, went to St. Thomas, near the coast of Lower California, where it was said some ammu- nition and military store had been landed, having been ¢ Gulf from Guaymas. ‘But quired on bis own soil about these times. Flores has, by Unis time, | doubt not, seen the “evil of his ways,” and the utter futility of any further attempt at rebeliion, and the last that was heard of poor Jose Castro was that he was in Sonora, sick and forsaken, endeavoring by some means to procure @ passage to California, there to rejoin his friends ana family. Castro, by the way, is one of the most respectable fellows in the country, and has been awrully belied in some instances. There is no man who would incite the Californians to arms quicker than he. The American military force in California is entirely too great to allow for # moment the idea of any insurrec- tion on the part of the Californians alone. Capt. ‘iompy kins i9 at Monterey with two companies of regulars, ‘Two companies of Col Stevenson's command are at San Francisco, under Majo: Hardie ; one at Sonoma, three companies at Sante Barbara, under Lieut. Col. H 8. Burton, while Col. Stevenson himself has just gone to the Pueblo de los Angelos, with two companies to relieve Col, Cook, who has 320 Mormon infantry troops, and eighty dragoons under his command. With there, and the force of the navy on the coast,we could muster from two to three thousand American troops in the country. Chere is not the slightest possible danger of any further difficulties springing from the Californians themselves. + It is @ mistaken ides, however, that a majority of them are favorably disposed towards the United States govern- ment. Muca as they detest Mexican rule here, they would prefer it at present to the American, and at the first entrance of & Mexican force into the country they would rise almost en musse, ond one desperate effort to expel us from thelr soil. We are at present existing under @ curiously mixed government. treaty of peace entered inte by Col. Fremont after the battle st the Pueblo, it was acceded to the Californians that they should not be required to take the oath of al- legiance to our government, at least during the war with Mexico. Although the Governor of California isan Amer- ioau, the country is governed by Mexican laws, and all the offices in the gift of the people filled with Mexican subjects. What we want here immediately is firm, per macent territorial governor and government. It bas hands 60 many times that it has been almost impossible to keep the run of it. First came Commo- dure Slout, who our flag at Monterey and San Francisco, was relieved by Commodore stock- ton, who, of course was Governor of (1 Soon after Col.

So we go. meantime there has been # continual interesting equab- ble; between the numerous commodores on the cvast, and Col Fremontand nis men retused to recognise Gen.

But there is o ly another side to t e picture. A t extent of country {in this latitude like this, contain- ng & supertice of 160.00(*square miles, must afford every variety of soll for agricultural purposes, t of the length ofall California, must be of a decided advant- age here on the Pacific. The whole coast is made of a rug- ged range of hills, between which are fine well watered id back of which are the most beautiful and extensive plains imaginable. The waters of the Sacra- mento, San Joachim, the Colorado, and their tributaries, water the soil; and their banks are lined with the rich verdure of the green grass, and, in the cultivated pas- tures, with flelds of waving grain. Near the coast, hun- dreds of thousands of cattle and horses are grazing upon the plains and tabl ds, while in the interior they are roving in their pative wildness, yet to be brought into subjection by civilized man. The soil of the plains is a rich vegetable loam, uncommonly productive; and, with labor and care may be made to yield as no soil in the United States can. le On the coast are several harbors of safety and capaci- ty. San Francisco, probably the finest in the world, is of sufficient size to contain the navies of the wnole globe riding safely at anchor jn it. The country north of it in the Sacramento yalley, is well adapted tograin andgraz- ing, and this must unquestionably be the great commer- cial depot of the country. Farther down in San Diego, equal in safety, but not in size, to San Francisco, while Monterey and Santa Barbara, and San Pedro, have mag- nificent bays, protected from winds at most seasous of the year.

Yours, New Mizroxo, August 36, 1847. The Valley of the Housatonic, You may be surprised to hear from me at this place. Thad heard the valley of the Housatonic so often spoken of as containing beautiful mountain scenery, that I'de- termined to spend a day or two in this region, which though little known, contains much scenery of wild and romantic beauty. You enter this valley by one of the best constructed railroads in the country, so! judge from the regular, uniform and agréeuble motion of the elegant care in which you travel. 1 have passed over many railroads, but over noae have Lever passed with inore ease an comfort. A trip upon it is positively. delightful. The New Yorker may reach this beautifui valleyin five hours by the way of Bridgeport, On returning from the springs, on a Northern or Western tour, the traveller may enter it by the way of Albany avd’ West Stook- bridge in about two hours, and this beautiful town in two wore, Then # fine hotel has been lately fitted up, with spacious and well furnished rooms, and in all ree aspects adapted to the comfort of the visiter. There is probably no house in this section of Counecticut, more conveniently inanaged or better couducted New Mil- ford is » village of bankers—scarcely surpassed for intel- ligence or a in the country. On approuching the town irom the south, you pacs through the limited, bus exovedingly beautiful, valley of @ small stream called the Still-river. This valley, which was evidently, in time long past, the bed of a con- siderable lake, presente somo interesting rural scen- ery, and contains several extensive and well culti- vated farms. At the point where the railroad comes upon the bank of the Housatonic, there fs = con- siderable tall in the river, and @ remarkable passage worn by the waters of the once lake and the river, through a mountain ridge nearly two hundred feet high, about forty feet wide, and in length from one to two hundred rods. A view of this passage, worn through a mass of rocks, will aloné, more than repay a jaunt from New York.

DisTRESsING DeTaits or THE Suir Fever in Canapa.—A_ short time since a fine intelligent English lad, about 14 years of age, was brought by an inhabitant of this city to the Secretary of the Board of Heulth, accompanied by seven brothers and sisters, He said his name was Hall, that he lett his father, whose name was Robinson Hall, and his mother, sick of the ship fever, at the quarantine hospital at Grosse Isle; that his father bad supplied bim with £5 to enable him with his little charge to reach an uncie who resides in Picker- ing, near Toronto, He «dded that every farthing was expended, and he did not know how to get on to his place of destination. If this had been ail the difficulty the poor boy had to encounter, it was soon surmounted by the euwifrant agent here immediately granting a free é for the whole of them; unfortunately the contagion of the fever was lurking iu the veins of all but one of their family, and the next day displayed itself by taking down three out of the eight, who were immediately sent to the hospital here. On arriving at Toronto the lad himself, ‘and three others, were attacked with the same disease, and only one reached the abode of the uncle. One of the three left in Kingston is dead, and a second it is believed eannot survive; the third will be forwarded to the uncle #0 soon as he 18 able to go; the cases of the three in Toronto are sald to be very doubtful. ‘The parents were respectable people, and had with them about £50 in money, with which they intended occupying some land which the unele had engaged for them near hiv own residence. Out of a famity of ten, only one has reached the place to which they were all looking asto the abode of competence and happiness. {Since writing the above we have heard from the medi- cal officer at Grosge Isle, who has most kindly attended to the application. The mother is dead, and the jather in in a very low and doubtful state. ‘The secretary of the hoard says that the heartrending scenes of wretchedness and misery which he has been called to behold hever would be believed, and cannot be duscribed; widows wringing their hands in despair for the loss of their husbanus, and mon for the loss ef their wives, Above # hundred orphans totally destitute and friendiess, of all ages, are now in the orphan shed bere, and thirty or forty widows who know not where to go, or what to do; getting employment is out of the question, because, however much they may be wanted us servants, “such is the fear of contagion that no family wil admit thein to it.—Kingston (C. W.) Chronicle, 25h ult A Mrs. Mary E. Parker, who, it is said, bas a husband and child residing in this city, committed sutcide at suffalo, on the morning of Sunday last. She was about 25 years of age, and it is said that the coroner's inquest showed nothing which should associate her e wit any dishonor, but that of suicide in astate of mental de- rangement.

IMPORTANT WAR MEETING OP THE COUNCIL OF GENERALS, CONVOKED WY SANTA ANNA. ce of Pr 3 PE ety more oer gryy the New. Orleans Patria.) capital to th of whieh the following is a summary:— ‘The Counril of Generals, convoked by Santa Anns, were of opinion that General Scott should be attacked in his positious; but Santa Anna said that it would be better to dis; h a di ion, composed of ten thousand ‘men, to tak: between Perote and Puebla, for the purpose of in' ary oy dood trains and convoys that were marebing toward the latter place, and thus to get porses- sion of resources which the Americans expected; and further, he advised that another, division of equal Pciriget (ten thousand men) tuke up @ position between Puebla and the city of Mexico, the remainder of their forees to remain and cover the capital. Santa Anna's plan was adopted. At the present moment (the n= ning of August.) there {s in the city of Mexico a force of 95,000 men.and as that under General Scott does not ex- ceed 12,000, of whom a certain number are invalids, through ill health, it is improbable, from the rumors which are ineiroulation, that the latter will quit Puebla until he bas received considerable reinforcements, “This,” says the Patria’s correspondent, “ is the current belief in the capital, although here it is announced that General Seott took up his line of march on the 7th inst, “it appease certain that General Taylor will com- mence his hon San Luis Potosi. at the end of the present m aithough, from positive information re- ceived he: ‘ill find himself obliged to await the arrival of ‘able reinforcements, since the Mexi- can forces now watching his movements have lately been\auch Increased. ‘ “ There i¢.a general opinion at the capital that Santa Anna is in ee with the Cabinet at Washing- ton, and tht he isiaisposed to make peace on any pre- text whatevpr; but, to the present time, nothing positive thereon is Intest mom the majoritys rather then toa pacific arrangement, in the pro- sent circumstances. It is almost taken for preuted that Gen, Scott and Mr. Trist have a mutual understanding, secretly, with Santa Anns. “Thave say, that it has been represented to the United Sfafes Government.that it {6 highly necessary to reinforce point, since it is feared, and not without reason, that onefine day, when such an event is least thought of, will bea int rising, and the whole of the A here will be butchered. In Vera Cri 28 well, they are not without similar fears.” M. 8. THE RETURN OF GEN. PAREDES. The New Orleans Patria, of the 26th ult.. has a long article on affairs in Mexico, in reference te the return of Paredes, ae refer to the dialogue held between Paredes and the Vera Crazan merehant, (already pub- lished in the N. ¥.

Our readers, they say, will doubtless remember that after the battle of Bueua Vista, there was published in Mexico an act of oblivion for ail political offences, without any exception whatever. Our attention was at- tracted by thi nd at the time we mentioned that Pa- redes might avail himself of it, and return to his un- grateful country again, to take up arms in her defence; but we did not think be would have ventured to enter by any of the ports which were guarded by the Ameri- can forces, whep Mr. Polk had contributed 80 essentially to his fallin August, 1846, *** For our part, we do no tbelieve that England will give aid openly to General Paredes,; or any other Mexican chief, for it Great Britain were disposed to aid them in their conflict before this, the effects of the supine malice of John Bull would have been apparent. General Paredes, without fearing the imminent risks which he ran, de- termined to make his voyage in an English steamer, for doubtless he is well persunded that that is the nation which the United States respects most, notwithstanding the continued bravurcs of some papers. Our respected ico correspondent insinuates, that General Paredes bas always had preat influence in the Northern States, and on different oocasions it has been shown that these States know how to properly appre- ciate bis valor and patriotism. The honor of Paredes is not doubtful, as Santa Anna's is; in the latter even his intimate friends do not confide. Thus it will not be strange, if the atx ‘States who formed rf coalition to op- one peace, take advantage of the only opport»nit; whlch remains to them to carry their determination into © ect. *** Im case Paredes does not arrive in time to prevent Scott's entry into Mexico, it is probable that he will go towarda the state of Guadalajara, of which he is a native, and which forms one of those leagued to- gether against peace, and there gather from it and the Teighboriag ‘States @ more respectable and better dis- d force than Santa Anna now has at his disposition. Fr'Gen. Scott has entered Mexico and madea peace with Santa Anna, or the government formed and ruled by him, Paredes will then hasten to a an army and attack the invaded enpital, at the head of an entirely indepen- dent Reig soe will contend against the Americ and the Mexican frien Santa Anne and peace. There is omly one hope of salvation le t tothe Americans, and here some papers have hintod that it is t in which they trust; itisthat Sante Anna may continue to bo the dasdly enemy of Paredes, and that he may auc. ceod in getting possession of his person and shut him up Jn ® prison, or, coward-like, assassinate him ashe did Mejia, lythis latter ease the consequences would be almost. aa Paredes haviog many friends, and expecially the clergy, there would arise an avenging party in Mexico, inst which both the Americans and Janta Anna would have to contend. The La Patria then goes on to speak of the new position of the State of Honduras, and says that it is very natural to suppose that whatever forces go from Guatemala to aseist the Mexieans will join the war party, and thus this will be another source of annoyance and danger to the American forces when once they are in the capital. INTERCEPTED CORRESPONDENCE. [From the New Orleans Picsfme, Aug. 25.] We have before us the Boletin de las Noticias of the 6th and 8th of August. This, it will be recollected isa little Mexican paper published at Jalaps. Inthe num. ber of the 6th we find, under the head of ‘ Intercept Correspondence.” what purports to be “part of a private correspondence from the Cabinet at Washington to Gen. Scott.” We cannot believe the letter to genuine, though hitherto we have not detected the Mexicans in alming off pretended letters from the Government at Washiugton for genuine ones. ‘The reader will bear in mind that it has undergone two translations, and with- out further ado we annex it as it purports to been given in the Republicano, No. 173—the date is omit- ted :-— Our position has become difiloult, and the discount suffered on the drafts drawn against the comminsary ge- neral of the armies, at New Orleans, renders our situa- tion still more critical, as Idare not risk to exchange these drafts against others on Washington.

How can we hope to venture upon further en- gagements in new enlivtments of volunteers? Besides, general, the men whose term has expired have been much dissatisfied, and it is communicated like electric gas to the new recruits, and the information received at this Department is anything but flattering. Will the States raise the ten thousand men you demand? I doubt it much, and I fear that you will remain in the centre of Mexico, which you rerresent as densely populated and formidable, in & state of inactivity, which has also been very unexpectedly the fate of Gen.

Some solicitude is felt about the fate of the detach- ment which this officer commands, on its route to Gen. Scott's camp. Patria, the Spanish paper of New Orleans, publishes a report that the train had been sur- rounded, ‘and Major Lally compelled to surrender. We attach no importance to the statements of a jour- ual which ‘ican in spirit, and has recevtly circula- ted more than one extravagant misrepresentation u thewar. The train, however, is one of the smallest which has gone up; and we shall await its fate with some anxiety. We have seen the last letter from Major Lally, written from the bridge twenty-four miles from Vera Cruz, near Paso Ovajas,on the lith August. He states that they were attacked on the day before by the Mexicans, who were posted on # hill covering the road ; and our troops carried St at once, by charging up with voltigeurs. The continued to fire upon our proops from the chapparal, attacking along the whole train; but they were repuised, after a fight which lasted about an hour, He had two officers (Captain J. H. Calwell, of the voltigeurs, and Captain Arthur C, Cumminggs, of the 11th) wourlded se- verely, though hopes are entertained of their recovery. One man was mortally wounded. and eight others wounded, most of them severely. The Major had sent back to Colonel Wilson, to request bim to send up three ambulances, with an escort to take them back. Ho also requested reinforcements to be sent him, which he hoped would overtake him at the National Bridge. The attack of the guerillas was made on the front, the centre, and rear; but our troops were prepared at all points, our force in rear being nearly as large as in front, & guard in the centre of the of two companies, and flankers all slong the tratn.

Aug, 25 } The demonstration of one of the States of Central Amerioa, referred to by us yesterday, is « serious move, which demands the prmrt ‘and judicious action of our government. Sincethe failure of Mr. Stephens’ embasey, who, unfortunately, arrived in the country in the midst of the flerce and sanguiuary revolution between the cen- traliste and the federalista, and the insurrection ofCarrera against both parties, and could not, therefore, determine to which power he should present his credentials, we | , have had no diplomatic intercourse with the states of Central America. This has been error, an unwise omission on our part. The government of these States, for the last eight or ten yenrs. considering the bad ex- ample set them by their nearest noighbor, has exhibited extraordinary stability and efficiency. Currera, though & young, unlettered, inexperienced, wild Indian, has, in an incredibly short tim ved himself for the judi clous and successful administration of the undisguised dictatorship which he wields over theses States, He is truly a wondertul man, whose career seems more like the wild creation of a poet or romancer, than the sober reality of A few them ago he was a wild Indian, as untame: d bloodthirsty us the cougar which lurks in his native forests. Possessed of great agility, persona! strength, fortitude, courage, and perseverance, @ soon became a prominent leader of the small bands of Indian robbers which infest the couutry. Aroused by a Seep Personal injury inflicted by one of the officers of the liberalists, and by a knowledge of the wronga and oppression exercised over the aboriginal race by the foreigners and their descendants, Carrera was enabled to assemble around his banner of “green leaver”’ a large force of [udians, who, armed with a few old ir primeval bows and arrows, and the terrible 8 long sharp knife, kept the whole country in scontinual state of alarm’ Takin; disputes between the centralists and federaliste, he fell indiscriminately upon both parties. In vain the whites attacked and defeated him in every direction. His for- titude, perseverance and resources were inexbaustible Weunded more than nine times, driven to the moun- tains and forests, and hunted like a wild beast, he would still maintain himself, and as soon as his enemies return- ed to the towns, would reappear at the head of « large force and march immediately upon the large city of Guatemala, He succeeded at last in capturing this town, occupied it with his wild and naked Indians, and so ter- rifled the inhabitants that they agreed to consent to any terms to get rid of him. His terms were the payment of the small sum of $14,000, which would be a fortune to him- self and his poor Indian followers.§For himself personally, he demanded a few segats, und a full laced cocked hat, and general’s uniform. These terms were joyously ac- ceded to, and Carrera retired to his native jungle. But here he did not remain quiet. A cunning and desizn- ing priest, who perceived his good qualities and the uses to which they could be applied, prompted him to take advantage of the disordered condition of the country and to assume the government himself, He adopted the suggestion, marched his Indian rabble again into Gua- temala, defeated Morazan and bi \d succeeded in putting down all opposition, Dictator of the States of Central America. But the greatest of all his vietories was that which he achieved over his savage passions and ignorance. He em- ply ized tutors to teach him to read and write, and the rudiments of education, and in « very short time sup- plied himself with the necessary knowledge to conduct the ordinary duties of government. He is said now to bea good scholar and an excellent ruler. Though, at times, the natural ferocity of the Indian will leak out, and prompt him to deeds of violence and blood, be is reputed to be by nomeans habicually cruel, domineering orgelf-wilied, Altogether he is one of the most remarkable men which this continent bas ever produced, and should the States of Central America be induced to intermeddle inthe contest between Mexico and the United States, he will, no doubt, play « conspicuous part in the stirring events of the future history of this war. Our government, we repeat, has been remies in fail. tl t advantage of the States. Their commeretai importance, as well as their political position, makes it proper that such intercourse should be kept ‘up. This territory includes the best ports on the Pacific and the Gulf of Mexico. Its pro- ducts are valuable, and its foreign trade considerable. England, always desirous of securing a foothold on this continent, has @ colony on the Gulf of Mexico, extend- ing some hundreds of miles,and embracing the best por- tion of the coast, where mahogany and logwood grow in great luxugance, and where there are sevoral fine porta. Belize is @ prosperous town, tied by English and mulattoes, and governed ‘by a Governor appointed by the ‘Queen of England, and a Council, partly sogaeere and pee lected. The object of England in obtaining the lo: ‘ip of land along the Bay of Honduras, was to render the people of the interior States bg res upon English favor for ports and markets for their produce intended for expor- tation, Where is no doubt that thi Trangement bas been so far successful as to give the English great influ- ence inthe affairs of the people of the interior States. How far this influence has been, can or will be used to our prejudice, it is not possible to say, but we think if English policy has been carried out in Honduras, with th me vigor of hostility to our institutions which ‘# all its designs und arrangements in reference to this continent, it will net be difficult to trace this move- ment of the State of Honduras to its true source and cause To oppose these intrigues of the English, to du- tect and frustrate these designs against our couutry, it behooves our government speedily to repair the fault and supply the omission which we have but just now discovered, and send a Seere agent to the States of Guatemala, with full authority to treat with such gov- ernment or governments as exist de facto in that large and important territory. % PROCLAMATION. The President of the State of Honduras to the Central Americans Compatriots ! Fortune now rules the destinies of Mexi- co, and menaces her sons with desolation and extermi- nation. The North Americans have destroyed the inter- esting population of Vera Cruz—have possessed them- selves of their effects, and are now marching upgn the Capital. We cannot yet know what other o: ities will afflict the nation. ‘They are our brethren ; their dangers are ours, and theirfate awaits us. We should net maintain neutrality, if we can in any manner aid them in thelr honorable struggle, ‘The entire world should know that the Hondurenos are rey to fulfil their duties, of whatever nature they may be. I will sustain in the State an honorable peace, at all hazards; but I will not do it with the sacrifice of Hon- durenian honor, for a disgraced people are fit but to bear chains, and to suffer with humility the threatw and the injuries which the stronger impose. 1 address myself to-day to the governments of the re- public, making these observations in order that, if it shall be deemed expedient, we may, if it is possible, af- ford aid, or at least manifest our favorable disposition to their cause and to liberty. Divisions and internal feuds have ruined our Mexican brothers, Eight millions of inhabitants, of whom that nation is composed, have been unable to defend them- selves against a handful of men, who have seized upon theit territory and their property, and annulled their rights.

Some symp- toms of the moral force doctrine, which, mutatu nominc, plain men persevere in calling mob violence, have bee already manifested there. The Dundalk paper states that the canvass of Mr. MeCullogh has been interrupted by the most intemperate means, so that the Rev. Dr. Cayne, parish priest of the district, by public letters feels called upon to reprobate the course pursued, and in reference to its instigators, writes, desoribing them as mercenary placemen, who tarnish the Irish character, and profane religion ; and again, as reckless and charac- torless individuals, whom decent people avoid as walk- ing nuisances, and shun as moral plugues In Cork city, Mr. Fagan, proprietor of the Cork Southern Re- porter, stands forward on Repeal principles; pledged independence of any British ministry, an advocate for the union of the Repeal parties, by both sections of which he is supported.

With respect to the result of the elections gen- erally, the Observer states that it in caloulated that the liberal party will obtain an accession of no less thas eighty seals in the coming elections, an increase that will give to the government of Lord John « good work- ing majority in the new Parliament.
