Efforts are making by the Government of Guatemala
to induce American capitalists to combine for the forma-
tion of a new line of steamers, the project having two
distinct objects:—First, the establishment of steam com-
munication all along the coast of Central America, in
connexion with the Panama and San Francisco steamers.
Second, the opening of a new inter-oceanic route
through Guatemala, for which purpose it is required:—
A. That the port of San Jose, on the Pacific, should
be made a repulse station for those steamers.
B. The establishment of a small steamer plying be-
tween Izabel and Belize, on the Atlantic, which vessel
would navigate the beautiful fresh water lake called
Golro Dulce, and the river Dulce, so graphically de-
scribed by Stephens in his travels, and she would next
enter the sea in the Bay of Honduras.
C. The establishment of a large steamer between
Belize and New York, or Charleston, calling at
Havannah.
The following particulars respecting the ports and
towns of Central America, on the Pacific side, come to
the point, and will assist in forming a correct estimation
of the project under consideration:—
San Jots, in the republic of Guatemala, is connected
by carriage roads with the following towns :—Escuimla,
sugar growing place, forty-five miles distant; Amatitlan
seventy-two miles, and Antigua, sixty-three miles, co-
chineal growing place; and the city of Guatemala capital
of the republic, ninety miles distant, The country's
exports are cochineal, provisions, coarse woollen manu-
factures, &c. &c., for a value of nearly two millions.
Acajatla, in the state of Salvador, leads to the towns
of Sonsanate, eighteen miles distant; Aguachapan,
forty-eight miles; Santa Anna, sixty-six miles, and
other large towns. The district is very well populated,
and yields indigo, cattle, tobacco, sugar, balsam, provi-
sions, &c., &c.
La Libertad, also in Salvador, is the entrance to the
city of Salvador, capital of the state, distance forty-two
mites. The district is rich in agricultural productions.
La Union, in the same state, leads to San Miguel,
forty-two miles, a town of some importance on account
of its commerce, mines, and agriculture; indigo, sugar,
cotton, tobacco, bullion, and ores are exported there-
from. Ls Union, or Tigre Islands, in its vici-
nity, is the outlet of Tegucigalpa, the principal
town of Honduran, and the centre of a rich mineral dis-
trict. The exports of Salvador can be estimated at
more than a million and a half of dollars, and those of
Honduras at about one million.
Realejo, in the state of Nicaragua, at nine miles dis-
tance from Chenandegte and thirty-eight miles from
Leon, capital of the state. Nicaragua exports maho-
gany, dyewood, cotton, indigo, provisions, &c., for more
than a million i)llars.
Punta Arena., in the republic of Costa Rica, is
seventy-two miles distant from San Jot& the capital,
and is connected with that city and all the other towns
by an excellent road. Costa Rica exports coffee, pro-
visions, timber, hides, &c. for nearly a million and a
half of dollars.

The Committee of Spanish American Bondholders
have received the following communication from Mr.
Lord, their agent at La Guayra, relative to the Vene-
zuelan Debt. Owing to the ill health of Mr. Lord, that
gentleman has been compelled to resign, and the bond-
holders are thus deprived of the services of an indefati-
gable and valuable agent. In respect to the Debt of
Ecuador, the committee have also received advices from
Mr. Mocatta, which confirm the accounts previously
received of the failure of the Flores expedition :
" La Guayra, 9th Au, 1852.
" Since my lines of the lith ul* I have been favoured
with the committee's letters of the Ist and 16th idem,
the latter enclosing printed copies of three letters that
had passed between Messrs. Frederick Huth and Co.
and the provisional agency. lam looking forward with
deep interest to the result of the proceedings at the
public meeting of the bondholders, convened for the 20th
ult., and of the interview with her Majesty's principal
Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, which will ne-
cessarily follow. At the same time, I am under
the necessity of making known to the committee
that lam prevented by the ill state of my health from
longer continuing this harrassing negotiation, and that
I have been compelled to hand it over to my friends,
Messrs. Boulton, Dallett, and Co., who will do whatever
may be requisite, and who will continue their services,
as agents of the committee, unless the committee shouldrcel
prefer to make some other arrangement. I need
add that, so long as I may be able to do so, I
in
willgive
Messrs. Boulton, Dallett, and Co., every assistance
my power. sy
