NEW YORK, Nov. 16.

GUATAMA LA.---T he Boston Palladium states
that a gentleman in that city, who left Truxillo on
the 7th of September last, corroborates the in-
telligence which we published a few days ago
relative to a civil war in Guatemala. fie says
that a massacre of all the Whites had taken place
at Leon, amounting to 110 men, women, and chil-
dren ; and that the communication with the inte-
rior and Truxillo was cut off. The cause of these
unhappy commotions was supposed to arise from
the ambition of a few Creoles, who were desirous
to crush the Government and place every indivi-
dual on an equality as relates to property. An
indiscriminate plunder of all property of the
Whites took place. Affairs were of a most dismal
aspect, and business of all kinds was at a staistr.
General Olvear, the Buenos Ayres Minister at,
Washington, having been 'appointed to the com-
mand of the army of that Republic destined to act.
against the Royalists in Peru, has left this coun-
try. His Secretary, Colonel Yricarte, who is to
command the Engineers, has accompanied the
General.
The accounts received from Havannah reach
down to the 3d ult. They give the details of
fresh atrocities committed by the pirates, not-
withstanding several of them had been captured
by British, American, and other cruisers.
Extract of a letter dated flavannah, Octo-
ber 30, 1824 :—" I am sorry to say that
the pirates have again appeared on this side
of Cuba. The Laura Ann of New York,
last from Monte Video, has been taken, and
all hands, except one, hung—the vessel burnt
between this and Mantanzas. The person who
escaped says a brig and a schooner were also
taken—the people all murdered. If piracy is to
be suppressed, measures must be taken more effi•
cient than any yet adopted by our Government."
The person alluded to in the above effected
his escape by swimming on shore while the vessel
was in flames.

Nov EMBER. s.—Morris Birkbeck has been
