Can there be a greater absurdity than this? Of what use can a House of Representatives be under such circoms ances?

The Minister of the In‘erior had some correspondence with M.

The goveroment of Guatemala bas not, nor could have, the idea of impeding the Consulate General of Be gium in the exercise of its attributions, and they will admit ita intervention in the cases and forms prescribed in the treaty, aud by the geseral principles of intecaational elt. for the rest, Monsieur le Baron is not ig- wot of the particular consideration that the roment of Guatemala entertains towards his Ma y, the King of the Belgisns, and that in order fford ns far as possible a proof of such a considera- tion, the definitive resolution taken im regard to the affairs of Santo Tomas was postponed immediately after Teeeiving an indication on the subject from the Kiog’s goverpment. Itis also evident that every kind of con- siderstion bas been bed in regard to the comsany, and that even after the expiration of the term prefixed for the sanction of the decree of tue Chember, tue proposals which were expested to be mate on the par: of M. le Baron as well as on that of the commissioner of the com- pany, were waited for. Unfortunately, all thet has been dove np to the pre- sent time is to demand a portion of the territory wi hout apy compensation whatever, and then to make protests because no tribupal has been organized, and as-uretiy there Las been no reason why it should be organized. This, and the weil known incidents of this unfortunate affair, leave no hope of arranging it in a sttisfactory manner to sll, as the government of Guatemala wishsa; copsequently, free from all compromise, will proceed as it may think per, respecting always in every cave, rights legitimately acquired. have the honor to be, &c , P, DE AYCINENA.

I bad observed, while out against the Indians in 1861, that some indians we were pursuing disiy- peaved at or pear a ce: ta.n point at toe head of the valley, and although we examined every rook and bush in the vicinity, we were unable to obtain any clue to their hiding p'ace, On our setarn from tie expedition, the cave was mentioned to ms incidsn- ly, sud I as once concluded that it was toe secret baunt of the Indiana, I accordingly directed my at- tention to tie point. Alter having searched for three days, witbeut the slightest prospect of succes: at- tending our efforts, 1 resolved to adopt anot er plan; but accident or fortune accomplished what no plaa coud have done. Clambering among the mildewed and mossy rocks at tae base of the lofty cliff, L had become so dasty that it became necessary for mo to bathe. The idea of taking a shower bath struck my tun y, and I at once repatred to the fall, whi-b ex ceeds in heigtt the celebrated fall of the Himalaya; ordivarily, ove cannot approach nearer one hundred yarés ot the falling body of water, owiag to the spray or mist that hovers over and around te “csuldron;” but at this time there was a strong bieeze blowing up the valley, sweeping aside the mist that hitherto had prevented my nearer ap- proach, I was about civesting mysel( of my gar. meota, when a gust of wind, stronger than aur that bad preceded it, exposed t» my as orished and j»y- ful sight the long sought cave. My ablutions wera forgotten; I buriied back to my party, and made known the wonderfu) and fortunate disenvecy. Toe est of the day was devoted to the preparation of torches; and or the following morning, after a hasty breakfast, we commenced our exploration of the cave. We had no difficulty in entering it, although we weie thoroughly drenched by the sheet of wa'er, back of which, protected by shelving rocks, was an open space leading to the cave. I have not lan guage to describe the feeling of awe with which I ‘was st:ck upon entering the portals ef this grand and glowing structure, made by no mortal hands, all that I bad read of in boyish romance, all that @ vivid and erratic imagination had conceived of & eubterrapean world, was tawe and commonplace compared with this sublimely stapendoua worn of pasare. But to proceed:—With lighted torches we cautiously commenced our march, admiring the jant stalactites trat reflected in magnified ae the fignt from our torches. We had proceeded but a short distance when we observed what appeared to be a trail, worn in the rock. We at once decided to follow it. We bad followed it but a short distance, when, parsing throngh a hed of dust, we discovered Indion tracks, recently formed. We at first were startled at tais discovery, but after a little refloo- tion, we decided that insuch a plae tracks woald remain ajparently fresh for years; and then, after our feors bad subsided, we were eacouraged with bers idea that the tracks would facilitate our ex ,lo- ration. We were correct in our supposition, for had we not followed the trail made by the Indians, we wou'd { not bave been left in more than Egyptian darkness. But Ianticipate; ac-ordingly we foliowed on, cheered by the hope of soon cmenatg into the broad glare of dsy.

ITS CONNECTION WITH THE SAN JOAQUIN—THR TULE SWAMPS AND ADJACENT COUNTRY. Very little is known outside of its immediate neighborhood of the character and extent of Tulare Lake, and the swamps asd lakes in its vicinity. During the rainy seasov the water ot thease lakes over flows into the Joaquin, and a charter bas been granted by the legislature to open a caual between them, by which it is expected the Saa Joaquin will be made deeper and, perhaps, navigation opened a far as the head of the lake.

N, Carratho, artist, of his journey from Great Salt Laks to Los Angeles, tarong the Csjoa Pasas Muvppy River Camp, Sunpay, May 28, 1854 Atabout 3 o'clock P. M., the order was givea te fill up the water cans,as we were about to com- mence our juurney over the dreaded Jvraado, of sixty miles, without water or grass. immediately all hands were employea in suppiying themselves with water—every vessel that cut tain liquid being used for that teens, bottles, cans, kegs, &v. At 4 o'clock, having harm nessed up the horses, and saddied our mates, #6 were on ibe road, which led t»rough a iy and stony ravine. It was very beavy, and tried the mettle of our already weari animals. We travelled thas for eleven miles, ari <hen gradually ascended the table land on a barder avd better road: a cool north wind tempered tuc heat of the atmosphere, and we continued on: journey through this sterile country until micnight, when we halted and refresh- ed our animals with water from our reservoira. After a rest of three hours we resumed our jour- ney, and by 10 o'clock a. M., we hai cro: this dreaded desext, without any accident to our wagons or animals, We camped on a narrow stream 61 de- lictously cool water, about tweive to eighteen inches wie, which distmbutes itself above half a mile lower down in # meadow covered with luxuriant grasses, This camp ground is called by the Spaniards “ Las Vegas.” @ace more we had plenty of grasa for our fatigued an mals, and we determined to rest here for the day, During our jouraey we passed @ number of deserted wagons, chairs, tables, etc. Ae ox-train from Little Salt Lake had precedsd us about ten days; and it was not difficuls to fellow their trail, for in tie space of one hour I counted the putrid carcasses of pine*enyoxen aad horees— what a lesson to those who venture on such @ jour ney unadvisedly and uapreparet?
