The defeat of Cabaiias, and his being driven out ef Hondurss by Carrera, caused a sensation of profound wegret—for though these San Salvador people are neu- twals, their rympatuy is with the enlightened par‘y of Morazan, whose legitimate suscessor is Cabaiias. This muccess caused great rejoicings in the city of Guatemals which, however, were turned to lamentations when the maecess of the democratic par'y, aud their aid througo General Walker, in Nisaragas, was announced, So great @ pauic did it create that President Carrera caused ditches to be aug and barriondes to be buiit on the two principal roads leading into the city. The inhabitants Began to bury their valuables, and the United States Micistec—Mr. Marling—was run down with applications of persons who wan‘el to take refuge iu his house. It ‘took a tortcight for the excitement to subside, when peo- ple began to think that the terrible Yankees were one | *housand wiles off.

Now, in my judgment, New Granada is by far the best populated, and possesses natural advantages superior ty any of the Spanish-American republics.

Ip these gigantic ridges of wide-spreading mouatsins one weer the wisdom of the all-ruling Providence.

Most cf our readers are aware of the ciroumstances which induced the visit of the Cyane, but as thee may porribly be misrepresented elsewhere, we deem it essen- tial to state them as we believe ihey ac‘ually ooourrea. Ou the 9th of November last, the Superintendent of Po- luce baring received information that « black man, acting 38 cook on board the American atine Loango, thea lying in tuis port, bad declared himsetf a slave, and, oem Ae usage from the captain, nad offered to the hoa:men who had obtained aceess to him, asum of money for Lis deliverance, that officer repaired te the Creasory fa order to ascertain the name of the alleged s‘ave, to enable him to spply for @ writ of habeas oorpus to remove the ran from the vessel.

The discussion arriving at auch a climax, we a not surprised to learp that his Excellency felt it inoum- bent on bim to Ceciine any farther aitempt to moluify the valiant commander. We oelieve, however, that previous to his ceparture, Captain Fairtax addressed a despatch to his Fxcellency, inteuced no doubt to be explanatory of: the epicit in whieh he took his departure from An‘ , but which we nnderstand was anything but conciliatory. It is @ singular feature in this affair thet Mr. Higinbo~ tham, the commercia} agent to the United States, aid not’ acknowledge and express his disssttsfastion ith the explavatory despateh which the Governor addressed ta him, immediately after the occurrence complained of; his Exceliency wes, therefore, no doubt, left under the impression that the matter was sal ly ex. plained until the sucden advent of the Qyane dis- e'led the illusion. Nor does it a] that Captain. Fairfax was acquainted with such ex tion till after) i bis arrival bere, when, witha inflamed by & purtis] statement of the facts of the case, and the noisy ¢ullitions of some half.cozen American sympa- thizers iv Sr. Johu’s, we do not wonder that he ward - Possesseo ct that coolness of jacgment which might other- wise bave rendered him amenable to reason, and caused him to pay & me [ftt'e regara to statements maie on oath by gentlemen of high reepectabuity, even although such testimony was sowewhat at variance with the story in-~ vented by the mate of the Loapgo, who, {t might be pre- sumed, was naturally axxious to excuse himself in the eyes of his captain }t ia to be beped that this ridiewlous quarrel will ba suffered to rest where it at present is; but if not, and mischiet houid ensue, parties in this island 1 res gret at Laving—we are willing to betieve untbinking'y— while the American commander was in the island, striven: their text to fomen’ a dispute. which had its origin fa a baseless idea of privileges, which can never, o ms{:teatly with fer bigher and holier claims, be for a siagle moment tolerated. . The Kingston Morning Journal, after publishing the dove, saysi— We are requested to state, upon reliable authorit shat the (/uoemetion: reonived Teor select calle the Register, respecting the orders said to ve issued to the Queen’s pilot with reference to the Cyane, is incorrect, and that Mr. Fox waa not at any time forbidden to taka that veesel out of port. The ‘act, too, of the Medes hav- ing been werped into the position aa described by our ontemporary, had nothing whatever—we are also as- ured by the best authoriiy—to do with the relative situ- etion of the Cyane. The Jamaica Standard, commenting upon the case, faye In the case of the Loango, there is literally not a pre- text for complaint against the British authorities, nor the remotest jastificstion for the apgentiemanly pugna~ city of Commander Fairfax. His conduct is precisely what we designated it in our former article. It waa that, , of @ bully, who conceived that the threatening sapect 01 his carropades would frighten the British authorities inta humble apology, to bia own personal exaltation. It is ta be hoped that this dieourtesy of Commander Fairfax will not be forgotten by British men of-war, and that wherr the Cyane, under ‘he command of this ‘valiant Bobedil, does condescend on future occasion to salute the Bri- tish fa, & befitting silence on the part of oar ships will mark the contempt in which his conduct is held py every officer in our service, MOVEMENTS OF BRITISH WAR SHIPS.
