TH E NO 5562. Important from New Granada, Nicaragua, and Guatemala—Arrival of Government Despatcher—New Commercial Treaties, G&e., Ke. The brig Marian Gage, Capt. Read, from Belize, Honduras, whence she eailed on the 5th inst., and the schooner Enterprise, Capt. Chapman, from San Juan, or Grey Town, Nicaragua, whence she sailed about the 26th ult , arrived at this port yes- terday morning. Among the passengers in the Marian Gage, we notice the neme of the Hon. Elijah Hise, the late American Charge d’Ajfaves to Central America. "There was also among the passengers a bearer of despatches, en route to England, with important despatches for the Bntish government. We learn that he proceeded immediately to Boston, to take passage in the steamer that leaves that city to-day for Liverpool. We learn, verbally, from Capt. Chapman, of the Enterprise, that the New Granadians and Indians were fighting in the interior, and that produce was scarce. Our correspondence from Guatemala is full and highly interesting. It is annexed: OVR GUATEMALEAN CORRESVONDENCE. Guatemata, June 26, 1819. migration to California—The Route to the ific through Nicaragua—Important Treaties Made by Mr. Hise, the American Minister, §c. The recent settlement of the Oregon question, the newly acquired territories of California and New Mexico, on the Pacific ocean, and the dis- covery of their immense mineral wealth, have at- tracted the most profound attention of the whole civilized world, and led to a flood of emigration of countless thousands, unparalleled in the histery of mankind, from every part of the globe, to these possessions, so valuable and important, not only on account of their mineral wealth, but for their fa- vorable geographical position, for a lucrative commerce Bk China, For ae Aue! promise to become rich, in an agricultural point of view. | These regions will shortly be inhabited by mil- lions of American citizens, doing a vast_commer- cial business with the Atlantic cities. The qu tion then naturally arises, by what route shall this commerce be cartied en?” Within the limits of the present territory of the United States is im- possttle; by Cape Horn is objectionable, on account of the immense Saence to be traversed to reach zhe favored land; by Panama—no, for it is already found to be impracticable. [The Panama route, by the recent survéy, has been found to be wholly racticable.—Ep. Tirrap } By Tehuantepeque, few have ever believed that a practicable com- munication ceuld be made, by which a heavy commerce could be dene. Mountains intervene at both the latter places, which form insurmount- able obstacles, not to be overcome by human eflort. But another, the last, and by no means the least. important, is the route from the mouth of the river San Juan, Nicaragua, on the Atlantic side, to the fine port of. Realejo, on the Pacific—indeed, the only practicable pas- gage in the whole extent on the continent ; by this route none of the objections present themselves that are found in the others above alluded to. The ave- rage depth of the river San Juaa is sufficient for first class ships, with an excellent harbor on the Atlantic, three or four obstruction only are to be found between the harbor and Lake Nicaragua, which may easily be removedor avoided, by cAnal- ing around them. The Jake is untathomable and emits its immense body of surpius water into the At- Jantic by the riverSan Juan—in continuing the route to the Lake Managua, is found a large body of water winding its way to the great Lake Nicaragua; one obstruction only exists in this part of the passage, which may be overcome by canaling round it, as is proposed on the river San Juan; the rest of the passage from Lake Managua to Kealejo, 18 4 per- feet AMG where a large ship canal may ! at a legs cost than some parts of the Erie Canal, New York, of equal distance. A few months ago, the oat of Nicaragua desjatched a minster to London, with ample pow- ers to contract with Europeans, or in other words arter away the exclusive right of making a ca- pee English, which resulted in a coatract ing made with an English company, through their agent Mr. Wheelwnght of London,and which was forwarded with all due diligence to Nicaragua for ratificatien by the government; but, thanks to, D. J. Brown, the agent of a company of citizens ef New York, who must have been better intormed than many of his countrymen and who secured the exclusive privilege of the roate for 40 years from the government, by contract, which was immediately Tatified by the legislature. a : The Hon.

Humboldt may also be advantag: consulted, as well as the distinguished geographer Mitchel. Now that oe spent object is attained, so far as it can be effected by your able minister—except to insure its ratification by the government o! Ni- caragua—a tew pa Temarks may not be unin- teresting in relation to the difhoulites that were encountered during the important ation. The whole Biitish influence, under the able man- egement of the English C. G., F. Chatfield, was brought to bear at every step to defeat the object of your muister, and if possible secure the right tohis own country; notwithstanding, Mr. Hise, in his usual unassuming republican character, dis- playing a diplomatic tact and talent rarely dis- played in the seeking of a great object, deteated the enemy. Mr. Hise has won for himself, among us, considerable esteem, and acquired quite a re- putation for possessing much talent. sce .The political state of this little republic is discouraging in the extreme. A revelution which broke out nearly two years ago, and which led to the expulsion of President R. Carrera, in August 1848, still continues and increase: in horror daily. Robbing and murdering is the order ef ‘the day among nine-teaths of the people: The ex President is returning, and will no doubt secure the Presidency ; his object 13 to put an end to the anarchy, and restore peace aa prosperity to this unhappy country. Within the city the government 1s making forced loans, at the came ot the bayenet, whilst the robbers are stealing the goods, to a great extent, on their way from Ysabal to this city. Since writing the above, I have had an opportu- tunity of conversing with El Senor Silva, the Minister from Nicaragua, who admitted the cor- rectuees of the information I have given in relation to the treaty between himself pie Mr. Hise, the American Minster. D.U.L. Gvaremata, July 23, 1849. The Great Oceanic Canal to the Pacific—Treaty of Commerce with the United States—The Designs of the English—Movements of the Insurgents— American Despatches Stolen, §c., $c. In my last I informed you that a very important treaty had just been signed between your minister, the Ion. E. Hise,and the Charge de Affaires for Ni- caragua, in which the right of makiag the great oceanic canal 1s secured to the United States—since which a commercial treaty has also been signed by the two ministers. The treaty alluded to in my last with Honduras, has been signed by Mr Hise and the minister from Honduras. The intention of the English government has already leaked out in regard to the great oceanic communication— could they have secured the privilege of makiug it —which was to make the Lake Nicaragua a great naval station, and, in the event of a war with the United States, from this intended naval station cut up the commerce of the United St ‘0 the north and to the south on both sides of the continent, 93 might be convenient. Such is the reasoning of the British agents in this couatry, and, taking it in connection with the fact of England having ever used her best endeavors to secure strong | naval points in all parts of the world, furnishes strong circumstantial evidence of her intentions. Will your government attach as much importance to the subject of a Nicaragua canal as that of Eng- land? It is doubtful—the Seaty may be pocketed by the President of the United States, an ever lost to his country, unless you, the true sentinels of | public liberty, demand its forthcoming at the next session of Congress, I understand, from good au- thority, Mr. Hise will leave this capital on the 25th inst. for the United States—to be escorted by a strong body of soldiers to the frontiers. Since the date of my last, the exiled Gen. R. Carrera has succeeded in subduing the department of the Altos—ail his acts in that department le- gies by ihe goverment. and the decree in which he was exiled resemded ; on the other hand, the government of San Salvador has been openly ac- cused by this government of aiding and abetting the mountaineers in revolution. Goods to the | amount of between 200 and 300 bales, on their way from Yzaval to this city, have been robbed by the | insurgents in the short space of afew weeks, with- cut the government being able to aflord the least protection—such is the awful state of society in | this country—the result must be a total destruction | of the race, and an opening for a better tamily of | mankind. A short time since a large party of insur- es entered the Antigua Guatemala, headed by eon Rymundo, plundered the town, and assassi- | nated several persons. Among the houses plun- dered was that of Dr. Weyms, United States Con- sul, to the amount of nearly three thousand dollars. The French Consul is using his best endeavors to have brought before the French Asseibly the obnoxious conduct of the English Consul to him- self and his predecessors, with « view to bring | about the English Consul’s recall by his govern- | ment. The American well as the French des- | jatches, for some time pat: have all been stolen, | there is great reason to believe at Belise, and the Eng ish Consul here is strongly a # being the instigator of the erime. the attention of that body to the important subject, and recommended the securing of all the routes across the continent without delay. This gentle- man I absolutely know nothing about, neither do I know anything of his standing aad reputation as a Statesman in his own country; but must acknowl. edge that the Minister displayed a thorough and sagacious knowledge of his country’s interests in | this particular,and no doubt entertained well found- | ed fears that the best route across this continent might fall into the power of Europeans, What the late gevernment of Mr. Polk done towards | pode nthe invaluable point to the American | people? What has the present government done | on the same subject ? are grave questions to be put by American citizens.

I may safely reply, i think net. Look to passing events in the Brivish.

O. Loomis, Esq., —— Morgan, Esq.,and Henry Wood, Esq. A long line of carriages accompanied the party, ard every window was filled with the fair ladies of Pittsburgh, who waived their adieus as the President passed along. The cavalcade halted nine miles from the city, at a tavern rejoicing in a sign, which reads “Nine Miles Inn; Mrs, Backhouse ;” and here @ number of the sovereigns bad assembled, with their wives and daugh- ters, and paid their respects to the President and Governor, At the county line the corte was met by the Beaver Committee, and conducted to Economy, where the party was hospitably entertained by the Harmony Sceiety, After dinner, the elders of the Society es- corted the President to their silk manufactory, and, upon leaving, presented both him and Gov. Johnsten with magnilicent vest patterns of velvet, of their own manufacture, It may not be uninteresting to give a brief description ot the Harmony Society, it being, we believe, the only socialist community in this country, It was originally composed ofGermans, who, under the leadership of G. Tapp, emigrated to this State, for the purpose joy- ing thelr peculiar religious views in freedom. ‘Chey first settled Harmony seven miles from their present location; but in consequence of their high location in the mountains, their crops entirely failed, and they were reduced to extreme want. in this condition the adopted son of Rapp proseeded to Pittsburgh and en- deavored to obtain some assistance tor the Soclety. His | first application was to their agent, who refused point blank, A benevolent individual, however, loaned them the necessary funds to purchase supplies, and they were thus temporarily extricated from their difficulties. The following spring they removed from Harmony, and eventually settled in their present location, “Econo. my,” half way between Pittsburgh and Beaver. Dur- ing their distress a distinctive feature in their Society was adopted; they agreed from thenceforth to avow celibacy; husbands and wives, from that period, agreed things that bad been.

The Slave Case—The Particulars of the Abduc- tion—The Cuba Expedition— Amusements. The writ of habeas corpus, in the case of George Martin, arrested on a writ to recover the services of a runaway negro, who was kidnapped from Chester county, Pa., was disposed of on Saturday, by Judge Legrand, who dismissed the case, it being proven that he passed fora free man in Penn- sylvama. It appears that about eight years ago the slave Albert ran away from Mrs. Hays, ot Cecil county, Md., and that officer McCreary, of Elk- ton, bought him ‘on the wing”—that is to say, he paid his mistress a certam sum of money, on condition that the slave should be his if he caught him. He tracked him out at Westchester, some time since, and has been watching his opportunity to kidnap him and carry him back to Maryland. On last Wednesday night, the dwelling of the negro was broken open, and he was serzed whilst in bed with his wife and child, and carried off Neither his wife nor any of his friends knew that he was | a runaway slave, consequently a number ot gentle- men, including Mr. Martin, followed him on to Baltimore to inquire into the case. Finding that the negro admitted himeelf to be a runaway slave, Mr. Martin started off for the purpose of endeavor- ing to raise the money to buy his freedom, when he was arrested on a suit for debt for the services of the negro whist 1m his employ, and though he offered good security, was committed to jail. Ha- ving been discharged, he has recommenced his ef- forts to obtain sufficient funds to purchase the free- dom of the slave, whose exemlary conduct has secured him many friends in Westchester. # | The U. 8.

The whig convention assembled last night, to nominate a candidate for Congress for the third Congreseional district, comprising the first fifteen wards of the city. On the second ballot, Major John R. Kenley was nominated, he having re- ceived 42 votes, and Col. Piskell 32. Major Ken- ley isa clever fellow, and was very popalar with the Baltimore volunteers, with whom he served throughout the Mexican war, butas a public speak- er he is rather of the Mayor Stansbury order. ‘The number of deaths in Baltimore during tne past week are reported at 139, full one half of which ure children under 5 years of age. : Robinson& Eldred’s cireus company make their entrance in Baltimore to-morrow, and on the 17th ptember June, Titus & Co. visit us with their ed cireus and menagerie.

On the whole, it was well cast. Tedesco looks and acts the character of Norma well, and sings, iu parts, to our ad- miration, Her forte lies not, however, in artistic exe- cution, but in popular display. Caranti Viti manages exceedingly well with Adalgisa, although the part is not suited to her voice. It evinces an amiable dispo- sition in her to consent to perform it. Her yoice ia strictly a beautiful soprano, while Tedesce’s is mesza- soprano, which induces them often to invert their mo~ ferent to pick flaws in thia ey knew more, ar Arnoldi sustained Pollione pretty well.— ‘erbaps he exaggerated a little near the begin- ning. The opening solos are very diffoult. for artist, and much moro when the artist is not in voice. It is @ pity that so many of our operas were composed for Kubini alone, to give him a chance to dia- play the powers of his own organ, which ranges ex- cvedingly high, and makes it difficult for most tenort ef the day towalk in the same footsteps. Novelli's Performance of Orovess was, lke everything olse of ia, at least in singing, beautifully done, No ranting, or trickery, or straining for effect, or mawkish display of sentiment ; all is calmness, consciousness of power, dignity of feeling, and unassuming display of the true beauties of the art. Blangy, said the ladies all about, is a sweet creature; that is true; and Durand isa fine dancer, and the ballet goesoff well. To-morrow night we are to have that true effusion of soul, “Lucia,” personae ted by our only Ameriean public songress, Biscnociantf, Aside from the fact that she is native born, she well deserve noouragement of an American audience. The house could not contain all that came to heat “Norma; let“ Lucia” be equally attractive, Nino's Ganven.—Last evening there was another Grand demonstration of numbers and respectability at this highly popular theatre, As we beheld the ccean of countenances which was before and around us, we asked ourselves this question:—Where do all the people come from? But certain it is that there anust be some attraction, for night atter night there is a complete rush. Now there is no fancy in this—no millinery of diction—no strained conclusion— no gin- gerbread ornament—it is the truth without any alloy whatever; and if Niblo’s be a fuir criterion whereby to judge, we should unhesitatingly say that New York ie in & most prosperous condition, and that its citizens are in a cheerful and bappy mood. In the dress circle We noticed many elegantly attired ladies. The peril- ous, but graceful achievements of the Ravels, on the tight-rope, were again enthusiasticaily applauded, while the extraordinary evolutions of Leon Wavelli, on the fame ground of action, drew down a storm of cheering. ‘The divertisement of the“ Venctian Carnival” follow- ed, in which Marzetti, in his surprising and extraordi- nary stilt dance and drunken scene, drew down the imous cheers of an audience who were amazed in bebolding his matehless fétes.
