Highly Interesting from America. © COSTA RICA ARMING THE TRANSIT ROUTE. State of Affairs in Nicaragua—Intestine Divisions Renewed. AFFAIRS IN GUATEMALA AND SAN SALVADOR, mo *o., ao. By the way of Panama we have received full files of ovr Costa Rica papers to the 10th ultimo, from whish we * make the following copious and interesiing extracts:— NICARAGUA. ‘The Cos'a Rican papers state that the re-organization of Nicaragua is progre wing satisfactorily. ‘The Cronica de Uosta Rica says-— Gen. Canas will remain in Nicaragas as commander.in- ‘hie! of ihe Coste Rican forces, which will hold Fort San (Carlos, Castillo, Veijo, the steamers, and the banks of ihe river to the harbor of San Juan, where Col. Cauty is Blatioved wiih his division, unlil the complete re erganiza fion of the government of Nicaragua Gen. Capas will also act as Minister-Pien} of Costa Rica, for the friendly and local arrangements all pending questions between the two ocountrjes, and any others that it may be Proper to sctile between the alued governments. Dates of 17tb uit. from Rivas inform us that Gen. Jose ‘Maria Canas had proceeded on a tour of military inspection Of the stations and forts on the river San Juan, intending fo go as far as San Juan del Norte. Brigadier General Bouilia bad been appointed to the ©ommaad of the Department of Rivas, and Don E. Castillo as Governor of the same. General Barrios, Minister Irom San Salvador, is an- mounced, as having arrived at Leon. ‘The government had prohibited, by decree of the 2lst of ‘March, the exportation of cereals and provisions of all Kinds (except for the other States of Central America), @hrough any other port than Realejo The scarcity caused ‘by the war had obliged the government to take this step. Another decree of the 27th of March direots the Council Of State to prepare a project for a constitution, to be after- ‘wards submitted to Congress. The Boletin of Leon complains bitterly that when so many of its brethren from other States are figbting for the @alvation of Nicaragua there should be Nicaraguans who romain inactive, hiding cowardly, and flying to the moun- tains, in order not to serve or labor in defence of their honor and their country. In the Boletin of the 18th of April there is a convocation of ® patriotic junta by President Rivas for the election of the officers of the government eight days after the expul. sion of the filibusters, according to the convention of the 12th of September. Tate advices received at San Jose from General Canss tate that the principal leaders of Nicaragua were resolved upon @ true reconciliation, and that Generals Jeraz, Mar- timer, Chamorro and others bad gone to Leon.

The government of Costa Rica, in view of the impor tant position of Oartilio Viejo me the key of the interooeantc fransit route by the San Joan river, had determined to (put It ln @ good Condition fer defence, apd to open ® Bew road to it directly from San José. This is a mos! impor- tant feature, as any amount of force can now be trans. Ported from the capital to that stronghold of the river in the short space of trom five to six days. The country in its vicinity was to be cleared and improved and several ew plantations opened. ‘The Cromica of Costa Rica says:— The ment, instead of resting from ite labors, con- Uinues$with great activity to increase its already great ar- veral cannon and ® number of muskets and other war materials have been lately received, and it is ‘#000 to bave accumulated ent military sappiies to beable to count om any occasion upon ten thousand men, perfectly armed with Minie rifies. Many of the Walker deserters were finding profitable employments, More thana hundred had obtained situa- tions on estates and in workshops and private houses. Many had commuted the offer of a free passage, tendered them by the government, for a small sum of money, and those that had not yet found work were receiving twenty cents a day from the authorities for their support. The Oronica says:— ‘These mes probably willsoon acquire property through their labor in the midst of thore they came to conquer, but who bave conquered them, and who have been received with unexampled generous hospitality. Many still infest the streets through laziness. We think the police, if they remain in this way, should indicate to them the place whore they can be useful. A number of them found work at the palace hall, where they assisied not a little, drank ‘and earned their dimes. Those that had wished to depart received assistance for their journey. In political affairs there was nothing new. As soon as the government had concluded certain measures,of great importamce, Congress would be called together for their ratification. The papers do not state what these measures were. Itis the intention of the g: vernment, so soon as the medals can be prepared, to present a commemorative deoorstion to every officer and soldier who bas been en. gaged in the ariuous struggle that has brought about so honorable a termination to the war. The Chilian brig of war Ancud had arrived at Punta Arenas (Pacific coast), bringing his excellency Senor Don Francisce Solano Astaburuaga, charge d’affaires from the Republic of Chile, together with Senor D. Ruperto Vergera Secretary of Legation, to Costa Rica. The new minister and sec’ etary were received by President Mora on the 8th of June, The Cronica says :— Op the 30th ult, the Chilian bark David Thomas sailed for Valparaiso, with a cargo of the crude sugar of the country, from the plantation of President Mora. We have 8 maintained that this is a branch of industry that On board the of Gen. Canas, and the latter of the merc! agricultur'st, Senor Ferrandez, whose death was generally Jamented at the time, when be wat eng! in Opening a mew road to the Pacific. Costa Rican mn are fre quently sent to Guatemala, the United States and Europe for educition, and we are glad to see that Chile has been elected for these young travellers to acquire that know lodge they capnoi yet receive in their poor, small, and backward fatherland. As we have announced several days since, the San José, formerly the Nicaraguan schooner-of-war Granada, on leay- ing the porto San Juan del Sur for Realejo with sixty Gua- temalan troops and sundry munitions of war, encountered a very heavy northwester which drove her ashore, where she became a total wreck; but neither lives nor munitions of war were lost. Several of the Glibuster deserters bad formed a negro minstrel company at San José,and had received permis: sion from the Preeident to use the National theatre for three performances. The Weekly Album says:— We have ourselves derived s) much pleasure from wit nesidng these performances both ia Europe and in the United Rates, that we feel we shou'd be doing an injustice to tbe minstrels wore we to refrain from recommending to all those who are fond of enjoying « hearty laugh and a few hours’ Pleasing me Prodi by the oooaaton thns offered, to good they are doing in the cause of hemeatty to these almost aeetivute, wanderers. With that excellent feeling which does credit to them in their almost des‘itute condition, we observe they Propose to give the full benefit of their services to their companions in distress; and we earnestly trust so noble a trait in thetr character will insure for them the patronage of the generous people of this community, and a bum; towards relieving the necessities of so many repentant fel- low. creatures, whose wants are now so prominently before our eyes. ‘The maritime and commercial report of Punta Arenas bas been very favorable during the month of May. One bundred and five thousand quiatals of coffee have been ex- ported, the price of which has been about $11 50 per quin. tal; several vessels being obliged to leave, unable to pro- cure @ cargo, although there are still about eight thousand quintals in the interior which are already sold. Several thousand hides have also been exported at 22c: per Ib., besides a large quantity of pear! shells, wood, &c. ‘The heavy rains have lately interfered with the expiora- tion of the line of railroad from Punta Arenas to San José. General Canas remained in Nicaragua as Commander {n- Chief of the Costa Rican forces and Plenipotentiary, and ‘was endeavoring to settle amicably the difficulties pending between the two countries. ‘The Album bas the following announcement :— Shortly will appear the whole diplomatic of G. H Wheeler, iste United States Charge d’Atfaire to | Nicaragua, communicated by one of the “b’hoys”’ who lit up Granada. OFFICIAL REPORT OF GEN. MORA ON THE WAR IN NICARAGUA.
