CENTRAL AMERICA, Revolutionary Schomes—Railroad and Other Enterprises—Agricuitural Reportse—General News. 2 PaNnaMA, Nov, 15, 1869. By the steamehip Guatemala, which arrived in this port on the morning of the 30th ult., we have later Gates trom the Central American republics, ‘he news is not of special interest, GUATEMALA, ‘The revolutionary leader Serapio Oruz continued to give the government some trouble in the Northern Gepartments adjoining Chiapas. He and his band of followers secrete themselves in the mountains and make occasional raids in the surrounding coun- try. One of the chiefs and four of the members of the band of desperadoes who committed some depre- ations in the port of San José and in the town cf Escutntla, in the latter part of September, were cap- tured in the capital and three of them were exe- outed on the 30th, These movements do not in any ‘Way endanger the peace of the country. There are but few persons connected with them, and they would be readily pat down but for the unfavoraple condition of the roads at this season. The Oficial Gazetie gives some interesting statis- ties of the business of this republic. The imports from 1859 to 1863, inclusive, amounted to $1,621,224, and from 1864 to 1863, inclusive, $1,794,061. The ex- ports during the same time were:—For the first torm, $7,145,614, and for the second, $9,184,429, An cifort is being made by some of the leading capitalists of Quaceimaia to establish a line of steam- ers between the ports of Central America and San Francisco, Cal. We doubt not it will be successiul, as very favorable contracts have already been secured with the government of Guatemala, and I be- Jieve with several of the other repubites, A very large commerce 18 Curried on with San Francisco, prinals pally by sailing vessels, and it 1s to get rid of this old and clumsy way of communication, as well as toaid in the more rapid develooment of the great resources of the country, that the line is proposed, BALVADOR. ‘The reports as to the indigo crop, the chief pro- @uct of this republic, continues very favorabie. The leading newspaper of the capital says the crop 18 twenty-tive per cent better than that of last year. ‘Nae reports from Acajulta, the most northern port of unis republic, show a great increase in the quan- tity of coifce aud sugar that 18 being raised im the country, ‘ihe value of the exports for the nine months ending September 30 amounted to $729,681. Of tis Bum coffee appears for £406,430; uscovado: gugar, $124,212; digo, $156,710; balsam, $33,678; cigurs, $13,236. Ol the three Pacific ports of the republic Acajulta is of the ieast importance. HONDURAS. There 1s nothing in the shape of general news from this republic, A correspondent writing.from Omoa, under date of September 29, with the object of re- moving any Unfavorable impressions thac may Lave spread abroud as to the progress that is beiug made in the building of the Honduras Railroad, says that he has just visited the scene of operations, and reporis irom his own observations as tollows:— ine forty-seven miles Of forest are cleared and ten miles of track graded, with the rails partially laid. ‘The luborers were becoming every day more dissat- ed, und more than 6u0 of the native “Carivs” had deft. ‘The rations supplied the laborers are insuill- cient and of very bad quality. ‘The agent in charge Of the works ts blamed for improper management. Instead of having 2,000 or more neu employed, as it should be, only twenty or thirty were at work woen Iwas there, besides a very limited compiement of engineers, carpenters ana blacksmiths.

Two or three years ago Costa Rica bore the repu- tation of being the best governed republic in Ventral America, and was only surpassed by that of Chile in the South. The inhabitants were happy, industri- ous and prosperous, and luternal striie, the curse of ail Spanish America, was forgotten within the limits of the little State. But of late matiers have somewhat changed, and murmurs and Whispers of contemplated revolutions _ are becoming quite common. Tne latest advices, to the 25th ult, say that some movement against the government was ieared, and that several afresis had been made, mustiy of officers belonging to the barracks in San José, the capital, The move- ment, it was believed, would not umount to mach; ‘Dut still business was affected by it, and those most interested in the prosperity of tue country were nop- ing that ail signs of trouble woula pass away beiore the opening 01 the coffee season, Which commences avout the first of the year. ‘The Costa Kica Ratiroad does not seem to be in a very prosperous condition, It 18 reported that a Special session of Congress has been called. some say %o discuss the railroxd project, as an extension of time has beea asked for by those to whom the char- ter was gives, due others think it is for ue pur- pose vi couiciring On the Presideut fuil powers to suspend ibe cunstiiuvion.

Nota few will accept the latter. Provious to adjourning the question of the legality of the present cuarter of the Panama Railroad came up and was discussed at Jengih. After mature deliberation the Assembly Gecided that the renewal of the charter and tne sale of the “reserves” by the general government, two years ago, were strictly legal and constitutional, and a vote was passed deciaring null and void the action of the Assembly of 1867 in protesting against the same, Of the nine States forming tie republic there are now only three which exhibit any opposition to the railroad, and their hostility ‘Will continue only so long as they are under the thumb of General Mosquera, for politics and not patriotism controla the acts of most of the leading men in these Spanish-American countries.

PERU. The Ministerial Urisis—New Cabinet—Popalur Discontent—The Peruvian Monitors~Boliv= fan Intelligence—Reported Revolution. Lua, Oct, 28, 1869, Although we have fortanately passed through the alarming period mentioned in the great Falb pro- phecy, and have escaped the dangers predicted by that illustrious man, we now are in the height of a political crisis that may result most unfavorably for the interests of the republic. The question of the loan offered by the French house of Dreyfus Brothers to the government has, us the readers of the HERALD have been already informed, been the subject of a very decided and serlous opposition on the part of the national capl- talists, who, naturally enough, are loath to allow a trausaction presenting such lucrative inducements to pass into the hands of foreiguers. Peruvians, by @ special act of Congress, have the preference in all negotiations referring to the disposal of guano, and as this Dreyfus business ts based upon the value of the deposits of that fertilizing agent, the Peruvian capitalists evidenuy have justice un their side, and so far have been successful in the numerous steps that have been taken in the law courts in the eifort to secure their rights and appropriate the speculation for themselves, But the President, having Figned the contract with Dreyfus, has been firm in upholding itand in resisting the attacks referred to, Aided by bis Minister of the Treasury he has brought upon him- self the disapprobation of the country and is the mark of general censure. A few days since the re- maining members of the Cabinet, with the exception of the President's brother, who 1s Minister of War, resigned their places, owing to the ineffectual resist- ance tiey were making to the Presidential desires and to the feeling of vexation with which they saw that m the Cabinet councils the voice of one man was considered wore weigity than the general opin- ion of three. These Ministers—of Foreign Affairs, Interior and of Justice—were allowed tu retire, and the President was put im the disagreeabie predica- ment of being unable to replace them, few public men desiring to serve in a government that was suc- ceeding in rendering itself generally unpoplar by SDnOKling the obnoxious loan. At last the Minister ot the ‘Ireasury was induced to make his tempory resiguation, This was done, and the President formed a new Cabinet. The personnel of this body 13 not particularly satisfactory, and with the exception of br. Dorado, named Minister of Foreign Affairs, and Colonel Secada, Minister ot the Interior, the remainder are men oi little or no public experience, It 1s feared that the President will stil continue to hold tue same position that brought about this Ministerial crisis, and if 80 there are grave reasons for fearing the most serious conse- quences. Revolutions are so dear to the Peruvian heart that the least provocation or pretext sullices to induce conspirators to mature their always exist- ing plans, and in a movement having for its object what is popularly supposed to be @ vindication of the legal right of Peruvians, there would be strong probability of its ultimate suc. cess. The Congress, which will assemble in July, 1870, will be undoubtedly hostile to Colonel Balta and his administration, and should any movement against the government be then in Drugregs the influence of Vongroos wit! ceriamly De exerted in its favor. Thai no such turn of ailairs wili occur is devoutiy to be prayed for, for tie repubiic tn its year and a half of peace and quiet has been progressing most satislactoriiy, and Colonel Balta, whatever nay be his faults, evinves tue most decided inc.ination to push on everything in relation to tmportant public works. ° The Peruvian monitors have been heard from at Bahia, where they were awaiting some repatrs to the transport Arago. These unjortunate vessels are expected here in the course of the year, and after their eventfal Journey the oiticers' and crew will be giad to reach home and rest. Tue corvetie pon, sent from here to meet them aud to thwart any plan that Colonel Prado might have enteriained towards their capture, was in Kio at last advices, and Colonel Prady haa returued to Valparaiso. Having these two monitors here the Peruvian fleet can show four first class iron-clads— two built in England and the two referred to— together with a formidable ram, constructed here by Mr. Gerrit T, Backus, an intelligent American engineer in the service of this government. Besides these there are several very excelent wooden frigates and sloops, and foreign naval oficers have frequently informed your correspondent that the navy of Vera 18 @ credit to the republic, both as regards the vessels and the discipline observed. This marine has been formed with an eye tv any Peale diMcuity with Chile or to any further trou- jie with Spain, since for the home requirements three ships would amply suflice. Nothing of particular or general interest has oc- curred since the date of my last communtcation except the poiitical events already referred to. Business 1s looking up aller the prostrauion it sul- fered during tue iall excitement. A large number of ships are at the Northeru or Gnauape Islands loading for the United States and Europe, the con- signing Companies being anxious to nave a sull- ctent stock of guano in store to guarantee the debt of tae government and w shield themselves against the Droyfus contract, which, by its terms, puts aa ead to their privileges in from two to three years. Frou Boilvia we dave vague inteiligence of arevo- lution recentiy declared agamst Melgarejo and headed by somo one called Morales. ‘iis move- ment will probably be extinguisned by Meigarejo with the sane rapidity and success that has always attended his efforts. Mr. A. D. Piper, an American citizen, has obtained irom the government of Bolivia ® most important grant of lauds in the neighborhood of the falla of the Madeira, for the purpose of colonizing with foreign immigrants, ‘The particulars of the concession have not yet come to hand, but will be transmitted to the HBKALD by the next steamer from here, ‘The mixed commission for deciding all pending claims between tue United States and Peru, now sit Ung in Lima, has taken a recess for a week 1n order to give the agents of the two governments time to Tully master the papers presented for their consider- ation and decision. The government here 1s aaxious that the matter be concluded ag rapidly ag possibie, and that this only bar to perfect good feeling en Peru and the United states be finally re- moved, Mr. F, R.

Financial MeasureeThe End of the Arancas nian War--General News. VALPARAISO, Oct, 17, 1869, During the past week Congress has been more than ordinarily uninteresting in its proceedings, Since the great meeting of the diferent liberal clabs and the adoption of a prugramme to be strictly foi- lowed in the elections of 1870 no interest has been shown in political movements, and the conservative party, united with the Church interests, begin to perceive the inutility of making any vigorous ro- sistance to their mere strongly organized opponents, The Minister of the Treasury is exhausting every expedient in order to improve the condition of the national exchequer, that important establishment bemg in a lamentably depleted state; and his last idea was to propose the passage of @ bill by which the President would be authorized to enter tuto public or private con- tracts for working such of tie guano deposits belonging to the State as have noi previousiy been worked. The provisions of this pill declare that the President may let out the deposits for a term not less than five years, and that the quantity to be extracted during that period must be at icast 100,000 tons, ata price of four hard doliara per ion of 1,000 Kilogrammes, The bill will im all proba- bility receive the sanction of Congress; and tho guano referred to consists of the celebrated mojil- lones deposits, made famous by the Jong disputed ownership of Chile and Boitvia and gnally divided botudiiier the Chilean and Talcabuano Raliway 1s ati discussion. ‘The republic, according to the desired arr: ‘angement, is to issue bonds for this fenes, at a fair Derceeenee pledging the road and ts Carnings a6 guaran! For a long time it has been a favorite biper in this country to construct a mixed land and sub- marine telegraph between Sip gore oF Valvaraiso and Panama, and M. Rivero lofré, the Chilean Con- sul at Callao, has made a proposal to this govern- ment on the ioilowing vasis:—The government lends its protection to the undertaking, giving the com- jany iree use of all the public lands it may require jor building parposes, and conceding an annual subsidy, for the term of ten years, of 26,900; but if four years after the opening of the to the’ public telegraphic communication between Panama and the United States shail not have been eflected all pecuniary assistance will cease on the partof the government. Six years are given for the completion of the ling, although itis hoped that two will besufiicient, ‘he importance of the under- taking and the very moderate verims proposed by the Company lead ‘us to believe that Congress will approve of the scheme, and ine line once laid down to Panama it is probable ihat it would be found advantageous to extend it to New York, At all events our dates would ouly be nine days old from the United States aud Europe, whereas now they are nearly twenty. The Araucanian Indians, about whom 60 much has been spoken and written, aud whose valor and perseverance in resistiag invasion have been the theme even of poets, have at last concluded that thew lances are not equivaicut to tie finproved firearms used by the Chi- lean troops, and in consequence a deputaion from the tribes, and composed of the principal chiefs, bas made its appearance in Santiago, accom- panied by thelr missionary, Father Leoneiti, to Whom, indeed, belongs a iarge portion of the honor of she reconciliation, In tue imterview they held with the President, Qutlahueque, tie chief of the Caciques, opened the proceedings py stating that he had come to ask pardon for past offences, and that he desired in future to live im peace and frieadship with the goverament. ‘Me President iu reply said that althoughshe was littie desirous of making peace with tie revel fadians, he had, at the solicita- Mon of the military commandants on the fronuier, resolved to accept the propositions now submitted tohim, but he wished them to understand very ciearly that if they recommenced thelr dep- edauong he should order tie war to e carried on until they were all elsner subdued or exicrminated, The other Caciques spoke in & friendly stran, and sigulied their desire thata treaty should be drawn up by which they could prove their good faith toward the government, aud orders were accordingly given. ‘Lhe terms wili be made very severe, the indians being obliged to give up their arms and horses and to deiiver up to the government the sous of their principal chicis, who Wil be retained as hostages and educated at the public expense in Santiago. ‘The Savages o1 Baster Island appear to be on the high road to civilization.

It will be remembered that Eogiand had been engaged in war with France or some other con- tinental Power, with slignt intermissions, for more than thirty years prior to 1815, and that peace was restored by the surrender of Napoleon I. during the month of June of that year, For a long series of years & suspension of specie currency had continued and paper had uniformly taken its place in all busi- ness transactions. The peace of 1815 found England with no currency but bank paper. It entered into all transactions, and gold was left tree to be controiled by trade and exchanges with the Continent. In many striking par- ticulara the condition of England at that time was similar to our condition at the ciose of our war, and particularly in this, that both had a@lopted paper and given over gold to be exported, A general compiaint was wade that bank paper had depreciated and that is was owing to a redundant paper currency. Here is a very important fact that should not be ignored at this time, because what lollows should be received as a lesson, and we will see that bank curreacy had not depreciated, and tuai, ike our own coined paper, 1 bad secured tiie pabile confidence. Peace on the Content was July established in 1816, and the people of Eagiaud were eved from the great drum of gold to the Continent thay had coatinued for many years turough the agency of the government, wno used it to pay Croops and sudsidize Muropean nations. ‘rhs drata ended With the withdrawal of Bnglish trovps, aud & mosé prominent and interesting occar- rence took place in tae action of the excuauges. No sooner Was the deuand tor gold to be sent to the Continent stopped than its effect was visivie in ail parts of the Kingdom. Coufidence was establisue., hot 1a the solveucy of the banks, but in the abilily aad meunaiion of the English navion to maintain eauce, ‘The effect of this confidence was to induce all the people wio had been hoarding gold for a great num- ber of years to bring it out from its hiding places und deposit it in the very banxs wiose paper had been Condemaued as depreciazed. ‘Lhe following te timony was taken betore committee of Pariia- ments n the latter ead of the year 1816 and in the begianing of 1817 we jad @ circuation of col ior some montis that had been hoarded duraig the war. It cost the country banks of Somerset at that period neariy £100 to transmit the surplus quantity of coin to London, of wich four-fitcas in vaiue con- sisted of gold. We could not get rid of it im te country. Our customers preferred our notes.” Mr Harman testified “that ib was a inonent of tran- Y, and the people secined imdigerent avout av Instead of comiays to the bank for goid brought their gold to Uie bank. Tats contuaued until 1817, when France required gold. As soon as oe Was talked of the ude turned aud gold rose in rice. e In July, 1817, the foreign exchanges Vacs tad un favorabie, as siated by Alexander Baring:—"it appears by the report of the br Minster that the French mint received in sixteen montis 128,00,,000f. in specie; of this sum more than three- 4 fourths was drawn frou England.’ These quota- tions are mace to show that tie banks of Engiend did not resume specie payments by a contracuon of their issues, but they were compelled (0 increase their issues to the parties who deposited with ihe banks more specie than tue banks wisied to hold, ‘This resumpuon ta 1816 gives positive evidence that tue dijierenee between the price of gold and paper did not originate ia the abundance and depreciation of paper, but Was solely owing to the demand fur specie for slipment, and as scon as that demand ceased gold became a drug aud remained so until the demand from the Continent again drew it away from England. The people of wngiand preicrred paper and forced the gold upon the banks to ebtaia paper in exchange. > How will our contraction theory account for this state of things in Lnglaud from i516 to 1817? Here Was @ resumption of specie payments without con- tractiou, aud again A suspension without any addt- bank Issues. Neituer of these great causes Appears to have operated, and wily did they not ope- raie? Because gold Was Hot needed for foreign exchange for more tian twelve months, and was thereiore a drug. As soon as gold Was required for exchange by siipmeat the demand raised its price 80 much that 1t was taken irom the banks and sent to the Continent, Here, then, we have ja these most clear and conciusive facts ali the proof that any rea. sonavie person will require that the price of gold is controlied by Ute foreign demand, aud not by we value of good sound paper. Contraction was not needed, because there was no forcign cemand for gold, Gold came as it weurt, upoa the current of trade. The law of supply aud demand influenced its price and its movernents. The tleration and reiteration of facts and arguments in these letters is the result of a desire of the writer to cause truth to prevail in time to arrest any disas- trons legiviation. We shall refer to the action of Pariiament on the subject of suspension in @ future letter, AS soon ns We ioc] tua Lue people are satis- fied that our comed paper has not deprectated, but between ine two, and by the clever operations of the Baron deja Kiviere, Who distioguisued Linself in connection with them.

Havana, Nov. 18, itt: Doubiless this revortis as near correct as com- manding officers are in the habit of giving concern- ing operations in the field, but still the evidences are plenty that it 1s far from giving @ correct view of the situation. The insurgeats in the Cinco Villas are variously estimated at from 5,000 to 15,000 men. It 18 true they are separated into small parties, but ent writes that much indignation was felt agoug he foretga residents because Vaimesada had to stant @ passport to an Englishman, named King, to 0 to Jamaica, without entering into @ bond of 5,000 for his good behavior abroad. The British Consw) has satisiied the commodore at Port Royal id Mr. King has protested, claiming damages. ‘The cholera was sill making great ravages ainong the Spanish troops, particularly at Gevilla and Aser- radero, Tue white forces are being withdrawn and & lot of unfortunate black soldiers are being despatched to take their places. The volunteer organizations of Havana recently cast lots to decide which one shou'd first proceed to the feild. ‘The Second, under command of General Jujan Zulueth, was the fortunate one. It goes to the Vuelto Abajo to relieve the troops there who are lo be sent to the battle feld. It wiil garrison the towns and villages, protecting estates.

SanTiaGO DE CuBa, Noy. 15, 1860. Yesterday were publiched 1m the journals here two oficial despatches, descriptive of a like number of additional victories, One of these was by the *Reus’? regiment, under command of Colonel Corenado, It numbered 200 men, and met 1,090 insurgents, strongly posted at Juragusca, The fight jasted for an hour, when the usual “bayonet charge” caused the usual “complete dispersiou” of the rebels, They were ouly saved from complete annihilation by the roughness of the ground, which favored their escape and enabled them to carry off their aead and wounded; 80 their losses could not be ascertained, Among the cusual ties of the Spaniards was a severe bruise by the colonel, who was brought into town yesterday and carried to the hospital in a litter. The other victory was at Santa Rita, under Cafizal, and was of like character. So complete was the dispersion of the Insurgeats that their killed and wounded could not be found, The original paucity of troops and the great losses from sickness prevent Valmaseda carrying out the policy he originally intended, and the campaign will be by no meaus as effective as was promised. The Count has, either purposely or otherwise, not beea fairly weated by the government, some of the troops promised him having beea diverted to other points, among them the battalion which bears his name, and which have been sent to the Cinco Villas. The sick aud wounded continue to crowd into the hospital, perticulariy from the ‘Aserradero” neigh- borhood, where the troops have suffered more or jess, Captain Jerez, of the engineers, wounded in Cauto Abajo during Major Izquierao'’s expedition, died on Thursday, after severe suffertag, ‘The case of Mr. King, @ British subject, refused a & passport to go to Jamaica witout giving a $5,000 boud for his good behavior, presents no new fea- tures; ne still remains here under large expense, cling €xists among foreigners here from t that a passport was readily granted to an Ainerican who desired to go to the United States but recently.

His Opinion of Affairs in Haytl—Salnave’s Government Never More Firmly Seated= His Sentiments Toward the Unitcd States. WASHINGTON, Nov. 22, 1869. The arrival in this city and the reception by the President of a minister clothed with full powers from the sister republic of Hayt! begins a new era in the diplomatic relations between the United States aud the neighboring Powers on the American Continent, This evening your correspondent called upon the new Minister at hu ome. The gentleman had just finished bis dinner, which was sent from a restau- rant near by. #8 secretary, Mr. Marcelon, a young gentleman of about twenty-five years, of clear, olive complexion, was also in the room busily poring over aud «diving into the mysteries of the English language. General Tate advanced as your correspondent entered, and, having acquittea himself with all the grace of a courtier in a prelimi nary flourish by way of salutation, put out a huge armchair as a suggestion to be seated. General fate is a gentleman of color—dark mulatto, but with Caucasian features, an agreeable expression of coun- tenance and brighteye. He supports a beard cropped short, and presents @ liberal growth of hair, inclm- ing to curliness at the extremities, In figure he is tall, erect and well proportioned, and in years 1s jess than forty. In conversation he 1s ready and fluent, and thouga Prencn is his vernacular he speaas our language grammatically and with a pure ent. the Minister began his conversation by allndi lus very gratilyiug recepuon by the President to-day. He was much toucned by the sympatuy ex} Jor his race and for the welfare of ins government. CORRESYONDENT—What was the condition of Hayts when you left for the United States?

CoRRESVONDENT—It would be desirable for thts government to take a deeper interest in the alfairs of her sister republics, 0 you not think so? MINISTER—1 do, indeed. In our iorms of govern- ment and in wany other respects we have an indentity of interest. It 18 @ fact much to be regret- ted that some plan could not be devised to form & union of some kind, participated in by all the American republics, to prevent any excroachment from the monarchies of the Old World. Had the re- beliion in the United States succeeded it would have proved fatal to every republic on this hemisphere. ‘The South would have had a monarchy. CO would wave establisied her empire upon a ilrm basis in Mexico aud would have extended its limits yearly. The Spanisn American republics would again have their society.
