Cuaenss, Feb. 17, 1849. ‘The steamer Crescent City arrived at this port on the Lith, ufter a short and delightful passage of ntne days, all on board in good health and gpirita. ‘The Fa'c+n arrived on the same day, having satled five days before us, ouly touching at Havana on her passage down. Immediately on our arrival, a committee of 1x, previously appo:nted at a meet- ig held by the passengers, were sent on shore to procure canoes tor the conveyance ot the baggage belonging to our passengers to Gorgona. This was done for the purpose of having union and to pre- vent competition among ourselves; also to prevent amposition being practiced upon us by the sharks enchore. Aad here let me advise all persons land- ing here, to act together, for in union there is Strength. Appoint a committ-e ia whom you can repore confidence, abide by their decisions, id you will get along far better than when all parties or persons act for themselves. Our committee mude an agreement with a Mr. Kamosto convey the baggage belonging to the puerengers, (305 in number.) to Gorgona, for the Tound enm of $960—distauce 45 miles. Tais was a verbal wgreement, made in the presence of all the committee und the first officer of the Cres- cent city, The next morning, atier our committe had left tor Gorgona, Ramos re- fusea to fulfil his engagement~declared to those left behind that he hid made oo such agree- ment wih our comantt-e; but thatif we could noduce # written bargain to that effect, beariag pis Signature, why he would abide by it. Tnas Our passengers Were throwu npon the teader mer cies of this man.

He re- ports thatthe U. S. swre ship Lexington sailed from Sen Francisco for Valpiraieo about the Lat of December, and it was uuderstood that she had on bourd over $500,000 worth of California gold. At Valparaiso, the larger poruon of the gold would be shipped on board the British steamer te Paaa- ms, thence across the lethmusio New York—the Lulance was to be sent areund the Horn.

CUBA AND CENTRAL AMERICA, Oar dates from Havana are two days luter thaa previous ones, Nothing of interest ia them, Aecounts to the 10th February, trom Sam Salva- @or nud Gaatemala, had been received at Havana. The following paragraph, which 18 somewhat inte- resting, epyears in the Gacefa of Salvador, of the sth December :—A charge daffures from North Amenca arrived lately in the city of Guatemala. Iisa pity he hae arrived at thie particular mo- ment, when the conntry 1 60 distracted with civil disseveione a6 to be almost in @ state of anarchy. Itis to be regretted that his commission did not extend to the other States of Central America, as it would be much to the advantage of both couatries, and San Salvador would be the first to eater into arrangements on various points of matnal interest. England has fixed her attention oa the fathmus, aud, in these latter days, hay more elearly than | ever shown, in her disputes with Nicaragas, her jlans for taking poseession of the principx! ports, where that plan, so important to ail maritime na- tions, of joining the two oceans, 18 most fea- sible; but the policy employed by rer agents has been of such a nature that, far from meeting with favor among the citizens of the country, ithas created a feeling of doube and jealousy toward their operations, which increases every day; aud whilst Eagland can by ‘orce alone obtain the advantages requisite for carrying out her projects, the North American Union can, on the score of triendahip and her good ¢ffices, obtain all the advantag~e required to carry outa plan £o replete with advantages to bot’ con- tinents. Such is the present feeling among the governments of Honduras, Nicaragua and Sal- vador, which States are situated in the centre of the republic, and are the ones most immediately terested mm these territorial questions. Costa Rica has sent an agent to Eogland, Nicaragua has cent another, and we are yet to know the re- sult of these missions, and every Am»rican go- vernment ought to watch them closely, as the cause is one in which they are all interested. The Gareta of Salvador likewise publishes the tollowing official notier :—** The steamships torm- ing the line between Pannma and San Franciveo, on the Pacific, are to go free of toanage dues (18 far as this goverument is coucerned) for tive yeare, provided that they touzh at some port in the Union, either that of La Libertad or Acajutla, and they are to be received with all that atteution which the flag they carry merits.” In Nicaragua, as also in Costa Rica, the utmost quiet prevailed interesting to Califorvia Emigrants.
