The earthquake of the 19tb and 20th ultimo had caused great damage to the edifices and buildings of many towns. ‘The government contributed twenty-five thousand dollars for the relief of those who were in a destitute condition. Thore have been many speculations as to the origin of the shock, or from whence it came. At first it was sup- posed to have had its pulsation from the volcano of igaico, ‘near Sonsonati; it was next attributed toa convulsion of of the once famous but long slumbering volcano of fire which desolated the old city of Guatemala; but from the disastrous effects produced in the vicinities of Solola ana Totinicapan on the frontier the origin is supposed to be somewhere in the republic of Mexico. Concerning the ditticulty between the governments of -Guatomula and Salvador I have nothing reliable or impor- tant to communicate. There is a rumor, however, that Presidont Carrera his dec'ared his intention to place Senor Duenas, who js now anexile in Guatemala, in the presi- dential chair of the republic of Salvador, and that he would give Senor uenus two thousand men for that pur- Peet Fea that he would first invade the department of ta SALVADOR. President Barrios is makin, great preparations for wi ‘Dut the impression is tuat he will wait for President Car- rera of Guatemala to fire the first gun, and that he will ‘then commence iv earnest. It is that G. Matthews, Esq., the British Minister Resident in Centrat America, would ofter his gervices ag mediator between the two Presidents of Sal- vador and Guatemala, and it is confidently hoped that his ‘Offer will be accepted, and that he may be able to settle this question, which, in reality, is only « personal quarrel ‘Between the Presidents of S«lvador and Guitemala. An examination took place at the University of Salva- dor on the 9th ultimo. One hundred and forty-five stu- dents were examined in the elementary +ciences and lan- guages, eixteon in medicine, aud tweaty-one in the prin- ciples of law. The following degrees were conlerred:-— Bachel.r of arts on tweuty Jour students; of medicine, two; of pharmacy, four; of iaw, cight; doctors of law, six. The report of the seccetary gives a very flattering exposition of the state and eihciency of that ingtitution of learning. HONDURAB. Seuor Vrancisco Montes, senator, in charge of the gov- @rnmett of Hondas, issiied a decree at Camayagua, the capital.on the 1ith ult., ordering the obsequics of the Vice President, Senor Victoriano Castellanos, to be per- formed on the 15th ult, and that the body of the de- ceased be embalmed in u zine collin, placed in a mahogany case, aud entombed in the chapel of the cathedral, and that a slab of black rnarbie be placed over bis remains, bearing the following iuecription in ietters of gold: “Honduras, grateful to the ;leasant memory of the iilus- trious Senor Don Vietoriano Castetlanos, Vice President of the republic, the mde of patrivtism and ciwic virtues, or this monument.

It ts evident that the Mexicans had a very respectable force om sbore, and for that reason the French concluded it would not be prudent to remain oa shore or in the port, and were compelled to leave for some other port, whe they could get fresh provisions and other supplies. During the bombardinent the Mexican flag wax shot down three times; but the moment it fell they hoisted a new fag taff. The Mexicans oonducted themselves with great bravery, and deserve credit for the gallant manuer in which they defended their forts and city, Acapuco, Jan. 17, 1863. I will herewith give you an account of what has hap- pened with the French squadron on the dyys of the 10th, ‘th and 12th inst. :— On the morning of the 8th came in sight the Palins, theGalatea, the Cornolie and the Diamantt. Soon after the latter advanced with a white'flag, making the follow- ing demands on the citizen Governor of the State, Diego Alvarez, as | have understood them:-— 1, That satisfaction should be given for and the official report made to the government by Gen, Ghilard!, in conuec- tion with the Bayonnaise, be retracted 2. That the fortifications be dismadtled outside, as they were nothing for sich naval batteries, as they were onl; Composed of two old iwenty.tour pounders mounted on ol marine carriages. $. That they should be permitted to take in water and coal and also provisions, Allof which was denied to them, although Mr. Van Brunt and others used their pest endeavors to got some concessions for them. Un the 9th their pretensions underwent some modifica- tion to the effect that the Admiral abandoned the point of exacting the dist tling of the fortifications, but in- sisted upon the others; aud the captain of the Diamond added the threat that in the space of two hours they would sweep all the fortifications clean. Although G oral Alvarez fully understood the disadvantages of our old artillery, badly mounted and of short reach, in com- parison with their modern pieces, he refused all of their exactions with much dignity, adding that if the French squadron entered the port he would fire upon it. The resolution was communicated to them at six o’clock P. M. ‘on the 9th. On the 10th, between eight and nine o’clock A. M., the French squadron entered—the Diamant towing the Galatie, and the Pallas the Corrodin. At nine o'clock A. M. exactly the forts Hornos, Cameron, Grifo and Canda- laria opened fire about the same time. ‘This last fort of the Candalaria had only a twelve pounder and another small piece, while our artillery were saved, although dismounted. The Lookout fort, called I. Alvarez, ovened fire likewise. But pretty nearly all the forts had no pieces Iarge enough to reachjthe squadron. Particularly the gung of the Grifo and the Hornos were silenced im- mediately, as the pieces wero dismounted by the enemy’s Projectiles, which came down on them in regular showers, or perhaps the carringes were too old already to stand the shock of firing. The fort Cameron, which is nearly down at the entry of the harbor, probably tired the most shots. The commandantie of it, Citizen Camilo Pracho, held out firing on the enemy until he had no guns left to oppose. The Candalaria also fired many shots. It appears that the Pallas was struck by a ball fired from the Cameron just above her water line, by which she must have been severely damaged. ‘the fort Candelaria, which had but ‘one gun, was observed by the United States ship Saranac, at anchor in a corner of the Tambuco, and the Americans had to admire the valor of our soldiers fighting there. as they only loft it with their small gun when all their amunition had given out. Our forts were mostly without parapets. The commander of the Candelaria was so much heated or fatigued that he took off bis cont, taking px under a shower of bombs and balis of great calibre. Great things these Frenchmen have done, When they observed that not a singlo soldier was left in the ferts—all situated near the water’s edge— théy jumped ashore to finish the guns left, which they really accomplished by either breaking or rolling them into the water. While thoy disembarked from their vessels they were protected by a heavy firing over the ground they moved to. They fired sixty-pound bomb- shells out of rifled cannon, All this occurred on the 10th. On the 11th and 12th only the Pallas continued shelling the fort Alvarez. When they ceused firing, the fort answered by a few ehots, but none of them reached the enemy, although these were the best of our guns. The Pallas continued to send us her bombs for three days—sixty pounders out of rifled cannon——and fired in all about thirteon hundred shots, until the evening of the 12th, when the whole squadron left in the direction of Manzanillo and Mazat- lan without obtaining anything of what they demanded. coe troops about eight or uine were killed; wounded ew. The city suffered a good deal, too, by the bombs that fell into it by accident. Several houses were set on tire, and others more or less injured. The honse of P. Ravarto & Co, (formerly the house of Azuyeta, Huarte & Co.,) burnt down almost one-half, causing a loss of merchan- dise, &c.,0f trom $20,000 'to $30,000, without counting the material of the house.

ACTION ON THE APPROPRIATION BILLS; a, a, de. Wasurycton, Feb. 2, 1963. REVIVAL OF RUMORS OF PEACH PROPOSITIONS FROM THY REBELS. ‘Thero are rumors hero to-day of indications that the rebels desire to treat for peace, and that they intend to avail themselves of the existing inactivity for such a pro- position, being prompted to such a course by apprehen. sions of Union victories m the Southwest. Whether or not these rumors are well founded wo cannot say; but they are confidently believed by those who profess to be well posted, PASSAGB OF THE NEGKO SOLDIERS BILL BY THE HOUSE. The bill to raise black soldiers and sailors for tho United States service waa modified in some important particulars before it passe the House to-day, The bor- der State members had given warning that recruiting officers for that purpose would be shot by the citizens if they should attempt to raise negro recruits in Kentucky and Tonnesses, and an amendment was adopted to re- ceive no Africans from loyal slave States and districts specified in the emaneipation proclamation, and prohibiting recruiting offices inthe border States. This will curtail materially the enlistinents of the character contemplated in the bill. The closing debate was mainly of a partisan cbar- acter. Mr. Stovens’ speech was very able, It was @ resume of all the arguments that ho and bis colleagues have brought against the opposition throughout the two last sessions. In reference to biack soldiers, he Said there would be three hundred thousand two years’ men out of service at the eud of June, and he judged that not fifty thousand white men could be raiscd to supply the deficiency by recruiting, and as conscription by force is out of the question we must call out the black men, He believed that a large number of the generals in our army were secessionist sympathivers,and those ot them who had threatened taresign if ‘0€5 are enlisted ought to be tried aud shot. His attack upon General McClellan, whom he accused of having disobeyed positive orders from General Scott, as well os (rom President Lincoln, was coldly received On the final vote several meinber® paired off, On the republican side Kellogg of Ilinols, Horton and Harrison of Ohio, Granger of Michigan, Thornas of Massachusetts, and one other republican, voted nay. Several members who had promised to vote nay came over at the last mo- ment, so that the relative majority was somewhat larger than was anticipated. TIE FINANCIAL MBASURES BEFORE THE SENATE. The Financo Committee of the Senate have commenced their eyamination of the tinancial measures presented. It is understood that they have authorized Mr. Sherman to report Mr. Chase’s bank echeme, and that it is intended it shall be acted upon’ before they bring forward the jain finance bill. It is believed that the committee will strike out the legal tender note and bond clanse from the House bill. It is said that a letter has be n addresred to the committee by Mr. Chase, stating that the adoption of the banking bill will avoid the necessity of the further issue of legal tender notes. Mr. Sherman's Finance bill, as reported to-day from the Committee on Finance, 18 amended in several particulars, It proseribes that the capital stock of any banking asso- ciation under the act shall be, instead of $50,000, not leas than $100,000, in all cities whore population fa ten thou- sand persons, Tho entire circulation of notes under this act shall be $300,000,000, instead of $200,000,000, $150,000,000 of which shall be apportioned to the asso. ciation, not only tn the States, but in the District of Columbia and in the Torritories, according to the repre- sentative population, and the remainder apportioned aecording to the resources and business of the several States and Torritories. These ass ciations are Pequired to pay to the Comptroller of the Currency, eemi-annually, one per cent of their circulation. INCREASE OY THE FEDERAL REVENUE. The Committee of Ways and Means are now engaged in considering how tho revenuo can be increased, Somo suppose additional taxes may be plaged on luxuries in order to decrease the duty on paper. GENERAL BUTLER'S MOVEMENTS. Althongh it has not been positively anmounced, there is good reagon for stating that Geu. Butler bas not and probably will wot accept the command of the Union forces in Louisiana and Toxas tondered to bim by the President. It is now uncertain to what command he will be assigned. Goveral Butler had a lengthy interview yesterday with Hon. Caleb Cushing. A general discussion of public af- fairs and polities cnsved, and the diaputants parted with assurances of a mutual good understanding and expres- sions of warm personal regard. EMANCIPATION IN MISSOURI, The amendment to the Missouri Emancipation bill, as reported by Senator Fiarris from the Judiciary Com- mitteo, consists of a substitution of twelve for eighteen months, as a limit to the time allowed for the adoption of an emancipation act, a prohibition of pay for any slave introduced into the State subsequently to the passage of this act, and an increvee of $15,000,000 to $20,000,000 appropriation, at an average of $400 instead of $200 for each slave. RECRUITING NEGRO SOLDIERS. As negroes are adruy bere, ihe example of Governor Andrew is to be follawed, and a battaiion or rogiment of blacks is to be raised from among the contrabands, and Sent to some point at the South. SOMETHING STARTLING TO ARMY OFFICERS, General Lane, of Kansas, gave notice of a bill which will produce consternation among shoulder straps. He will propose it to-morrow. Senator Wilson, Chairman of the Committee on Military Affairs. is disposed to tolerate no longer what he calls “ drones and fancy generale” He says there is no law authorizing the appointment or the contirmation of about & hundred major and brigadier gonerals, and General Lane's bill will direct a stoppage of their pay.

Mr. Witson, (rep.) of Iowa, said that it was regarded ad @ measure of more than ordinary interost was evident from the earnestness with which it was pressed by ite friends and opposed by ita enomies, He argued thai the government to those hold to service or labor superior to the claim of any poreen whatsoever. When the pational lifo was in perit the nution might call into its employment every person caymble of bearing arms and not owing allegiance to any foreign government. The lie of the republic was more valuable than the rights of the most cherished citizen, and \nfinitoly more valuable than those claimed by slaveholders. The power to employ colored persons oF slaves for military purposes was ample, LHe proceeded to show that the use ef them was urged by General Washington binselt, Madivon and other prominent public men, and that at” this time the policy was expedient. It was proposed by this bill to say to the blacks, a8 Jackson said to them at > leaps in 1814, that their services had been too long overiooked. He referred to the speeebes of Mr. Cox and others as cab culated to produce diememberment, and said they wore Wot echoes of the Richmond papers. If such geutlemen bad Inbered half as much to present an unbroken front to the enemy as they bid to produce distrust in the vdmninistration, we might look for peace before the next auniversary of Amorican Independence. He had yet to learn that loyal people objected to aay means to snp. pres rebellion, compel obedience to the constitution and laws, and save the Cuion, uot with New Eogland, but with all its territory prererved, Mr Cox, (opp.) of Ohio, briefly replied to a portion of Mr. Wileon’s remarks.

In this he did not believe they would succeed. If colored persons were employed as soldiers servile war would not result, because they would be under severe military discipline. Buteven if servile war should result, it would be preferable to tho war which the rebels were now cruelly and mercilessly waging ogainat the country. He concluded by referring to documents, showing the good military results which may bo expected from such auxiliaries. He moved the Previous question, which was seconded, and the iain question was ordered to be put.
