After Genera’ Carrera, as chief of the Indian party, defeated General Morazan, he was not at all in favor of the ecclesiastical’ party em the contrary, he saw through the attempt of the clergy to make him their tocol, and re- fused to side with them—the consequence of whieh was, that he was not elected tothe Presidency in ‘the meantime, under the new government of Guatemala, ® eoptract for a Belgian Colon zation Company was torm- 04, which, the following year, was put into execution at ‘the settlement of San ‘Tow: As, under the constitution of Reigium the Jesuits, as well a6 all other societies, are tolerated, it was nataral ‘to suppose that some influential members of that boly ook an interest in the new colony, and consequently ‘with the first colonists there camo out two Jesuits, name- Sy—Father Wable and Father Genon. ‘This was in 18:3, and immediately on their arrival the first named ecclesi- astic was sent to Guatamela (where a Belgian Consulate ‘was already estab ished), and received from the govern- wen! the privilege of establishing a col the State. Be then returned to Belgium ana proceeded from thence to Rome, where he was commirs'oaed by the Genoral of the order to return fto Central America with a large party of the order. In the early part of 1845 this party, consisting of thir- ty in number, arrived at St. Thomas, and here they re- eeived a notice from the. government not to proceed further, because General Carrera and his purty (though net in power) were opposed to their admission {nto the Btate; they, therefore, returned immediately to Belgium; bat the Belgian government claimed from Carrera (who ‘again become the head of the government) the fulfiliuent @ the contract entered into and ratitied by the two na- tions. This Guatemala found itself obliged to accede to, #0 that, in 1850, the Jesuits were agsin allowed admiy- sion into the country. Ht was long before this perind (in 1815) that General Garrera received the order of Leopold from the King ot . ‘Thus it will be seen that the Jesuitical in- fiveucs complained of by J. 1. C. was not of Carrera’s own reeking, be having always exhibited a dislike to the interference of the clergy in’ politisal matters, and dis- couraged their attempix to ovtuin power, by every means ‘at bix command.

In the first place it is a mis‘ake when J, 1. ©. says “Carrera was taken up by the church, an Igaorant In joatherd, unable elther to read or write.’” dian Carrera’s csieer was briefly aa follows:—Ha became a soldier in the army of the tederal government, undec General Morasav, in this service he first learnt to beat The drum, io fire a musket, (which very often was done Dy lighted segars, fostead’ oi by locks,) and to ain! the Indians. Having eniisted in that pact of Guatemala, whichf{ separated, after @ certain time, from the fe- | deral government, and jcined the Stato interest, Carrera ‘was obliged to follow, and in this war he so distinguished Bimeelf by hij courage and ability, as woll as proved a good leader of the Indians, that he soon tobe their ‘Béhnowledged chief. This position ho successfully neld until be put an end to she war, and defeated Morazan. As to the abeurd story related ‘by J. L. C, about a le:ter Deing *‘ let down from the ceiling of one of the churches in an Indian village, said to be transmitted from heaven the Virgin Mary, proclaiming Carrera defender of the arch and deliverer of Guatemala,” I am inclined to Believe it hed as little influence on ‘Carrora as it has on mo oT any intelligent person. ‘We have only the right to view %im asa victorious soldier, who by merit worked himself up to the high position he holds, and who received from the govern- tent the rank of general-in-chief. and from his couatry fand no: from the Virgin) the tile of Defender of the Se, snd Deliverer of the State. " From'this period dates his high influence in p litical affaira, avd Correra, availing himself of this oppovtanity, Sollowed the example of Peter the Great, and made him- self practically acquainted, not only with various protes- sions in which bis countrymen were ignorant, but studied the most spproved modern appliences witoin his reach, at the tame timo not neglecting the fine arts and higher branches of knowledge. Instead of being an ignorant [a- @ixn goatherd, Carrera is a remarkable iovelligent man, whose general information is far above the average of edneated men. 1¥ is a fact that cannot be dented, that under Carrera Guatemala has advanced more than in al) the time since tke independence in 1824, or, ] may even sey, during the three centuries it was under the control of Ppain, ducing whiek period the then civinzed Jnaian relaxed tuto igno- vance and barbarism, J. L. C, is right when he says that “Goneral Morsran, the great liberal chief of the federal repualic of Contral America, was ecdeavoring to nuke Central Ameria ia fact, what it was in name—a ropubdlic—by adopting the Livingston code of I g the charen t1hes, making the solemnization of marriage by the magissrate 1, establishing trial by jury, and many other true rms.’ But J.

From 1847 may be dated the present potitisal state ef Gaatewala (which (s very distinct ‘rom Central America.) ve shown how Carrera’s ioflaeree commenced his nomination as general-in- shiet, after the federal wor ; is was not considered » legitimate goverameat the other Central American States, and by the foreiga wers, Correra made a acloma desiaraion before the resentatives ot the whole, nation declaring Guatemala free and independent of the federal government, aud im this position she was acknowledged by all forvign Powers, The document contsining the p | programme of oes ‘was first submitted to all the other repa ies and foreign Powers, for the purpose of beiog app oved of. It set forth clearly the prinsiples adopted by Gaste- wala, and proved why ail efforts made to constitute » federal republic on the plan of Moraven had been unsae- ceeaful. Guatemala taereiore aynmed a conatitatin for itself, by means of which pationality, peace, progross in egriculture, industry and commerce ela be secured, a4 Well a8 the benefit of direct relations witn all foreign Powers, To this programme Carrera has faithfully adhered, and sander it Guatemala has steadily progressed, and the peo are 50 well satisfied with it and the mode ta which 4 conducted the grvernment, that thoy have gamed bim tor life the General President of the republic, Why it is that Carrera, ‘“‘the President Emperor, at the head of the ecclesiastical, military or Jesn\?-monar- ehical party of Ceatral Amerioa,”” as J. LC. calla him, dces not put am end to the civil war by making hicself « King or Emperor, 10 which, as J. L. C. says, he ta eu ed by all foreign agents, even the sympathy of United States guvernment itvelf—or why does ho t adopt the the federal repabiic, of which the President of Honduras, General Cabanas, the favorite of she immortal Morazan, as J. L, C, calls him, is the head— fo , aud that then they were divited into @ mum- ber of nat it ia said, as as twent different — Y en "helt own laws and customs, the topographical situation of the Iothnvun of Central America, without roads and sul means of communication, with large uninhabited tracts of land lying between the settled portions, wasa great ob- stacle to centralization, . One of Carrera’s first acts was to provide means for the education of the ineluding the Indians, who had almost relapsed into barbarism. To this and no other, he made use of the Jesuits, and it must be admi:- ted that no class of persons are more successful in their 1 body. y of the order, from its foundation, will clearly rove this fast. ‘This is the full extent of “ecclesiastical Fadiuenee” in the State, and the only reason Carreca has availed himyelf of it, or permits it to be felt. We think, therefore, that it is clear that even if Car. rera, either alone, or with the assistance of Euro- nations or ec:lesiastical influence, wished, as J. L. Ermaye, ‘to assume, with other titles) all: the other at- tributes of royalty,” he never could succeed, and would soon find himself divested of all the power ho at present holds, We sgain call attention to tte consequence of turbidio’s attempt to form an gmptre in Mexteo, and to the still more recent attempt of Santa Anna, who, with all hia tittes, hag been obliged to yield to the spirit of republicaniam—the fire of which ounce lighted fa the bo- soms of free men can never be extinguished, though it may for a time smoulder or grow faint, In wy next shall continue the subject, and analyze what J."L. C, calls the “foreign influence” in Guatemala, and the political state of the other republics of Central America. A. VON BULOW. LETTER NO. III. For the last twelve years, during which period I have ebiefly resided in Central America, where I have had an opportunity of becoming personally acquainted with many of the leading men of all parties I can positively state the iden of changing the form of government from reputlican to monarehical or any other system has never been entertained, and that the people, though enjoying but in small degree the advantagos ¢f repuolican insti- tutiors, Lave nevertheless sufficiently proved its advan- tage to desire no other. The chief source of national politfeal difference has arisen on the question of federal or independent government. Those who advosated the firat were headed by Morazan, and called themselves the liberal or ecclesiastical party: but after his death and the ruceets of Guatemala, In making {telf Independant, the federalists took the name of democrats, whilst the others are known as the republican party, These two political parties in Nicaragua have been at war for the last two years, and the democrats nave lat- Terly called in the aid of foreignecs by proalses of grants of Iands and other privileges; the republican party have the moral support of the foreign government in the de. fence of their legitimate rights. J. L. C. informs us that Mr. J. H, Whecler, the United States Minister, assured the Jatter party (the republican) of the sympathy and sinoere friendship of his goverament, and alludirg to the prosent struggle (which accordiog to J, L. C.is to decide whether Central America bocomes a monarcy or remains 4 republic) he (Mr. Wheeler) is re- ported io have said, As a nation we have encountered the same dark days of tribulation and trial. We have to maintain the same principles of liberty with ceaseless vigilance,” and this is considered proof of his sympathy with the monarchiel party, which party we have shown has vo existence except in the imagivation of J. L. C. Before concluding it is necessary to notice J. 1. 0.8 version of the death of Morazan in 1842, although, writing from the very place where he was shot, ha might have obtained more correct information. I admit that bis death was a barbarism of civil war such as the Costa Rica people have never been guiliy of since, but I cannot go to far'as J. C., m_ cniing “the death of this great patriot downright murder, for which Costa Rica hos the unrnviable eredit and which gave Carrera the ascendancy in Gantemala, since which be hes been general y aided by European agents,” The facts of the case are ximply these: after Morazan left Guatemala in 1889, having boen defeated by Carrara, he returned in 1842 to Central America, aud entering Corta Rica with a few troops, sought 0 lore that State, then in opposition to the tdera! government, agsin and to jein him in making war on ¢ Costa Rica also apperled to arms, and the that Mcrszan was taken prisoner; orders we try him by martial law for the crime of invading tho re- public, and the extreme penalty for such an offence was (with ‘too great Severity) intlieted. It may be possible that had Corta Rica aided Morazan aguinst Carrera, tha latter would have been defe bus that the death of Morazan gave Carrera the ascendency in Guatemals is not a correct conclusion, ‘A.

(rom El Nicaragueure.} In an Fnglith work, publiched in London, in 1850, calied “The Goepel in Central America,” there 1s recorded a sirgular tact. This work is the only reliable aathority on this country. ‘The author, Frederick Crowe, was au exunplary preacher of the Gospel, of the Baptist persua- sion, and he has recorded so many facts that the work has been suppressed by the British governvent. He stetes that there exists among the Indians an old tradi- tionary propheey, that they would be delivered from op- presticn and cruelty by ‘The Gray-eyed Man,” Mr. Crowe, ina pote, acds this prophetic remark:— ‘We would remind those who are disposed to attach any importance to the progpostic that gray eyes are common to theentire Anglo-axon race; and that the fulfilment of this prophecy may be reserved to our trans-Atlantic deseendants, (the Yankees.) who are now, even, taking a hvely interest in Central America,”” (see Crowe's Centrai Amecica, Page 148.) ‘this tradition is well known to many resident now in Nicaregua to exist among the Indians, and is religious ly believed by them, It bas been narrated by many to us. If _we were dispossd to believe that the race of propheis 14 no} die with Isaiah and Jeremiah, (and why ebould they?) we would sey that this trauitionary nrophecy bas been fulfilled to the letter. ‘The Gray-eyed Maw” cme.
