the weather pervnitted. It was boisterous as to ren-
der the bar impassable.
We extract the following from the Jamaica Times
of March 23 :--
"ST. JUAN DE NICARAGUA —Her Majesty's steams.r
Vixen, Commander Ryder. arrived on Tuesday morning,
in six days from St. Juan, and brings intelligence of the
termination of the late difficulties with the Central
American Government. The last advises described the
expedition as proceeding onwards to Grenada, under a
flag of truce, to demand of the Government of the State
of Nicaragua the surrender of the prisoners and an
apology for the insult offered to the Mosquitian flag.
The expedition reached Grenada in safety, and matters
were speedily arranged by the delivering up of the pri-
soners, and by an ample apology to the effect demanded.
The loss to our troops has been two killed, two drowned,
and thirteen wounded. The loss of the Central Ame-
ricans was more serious—twelve dead were buried by our
men, and several found wounded afterwards died.
"FURTHER DISSENSIONS IN HAYTI.—The arrival of
a vessel from Aux Cayes, on Sunday last, brings intelli-
gence of an outbreak in that town on Wednesday, the
Bth inst. It appears that the object of that outbreak
was to get rid of the commandant of the place, for which
purpose a large body of people from the surrounding
country entered the town, demanding the General to be
given up to them, and that a General Telemaehe
should be his successor. It appearing to him that he
alone was obnoxious to the invaders, he very prudently
effected his escape, and retreated to Port-au-Prince.
From the impunity which followed to the actors is this
affair, it is very generally supposed that the President
was at the bottom of this movement, to get rid of an
officer not suited to his purposes."
The following is a list of the passengers by this
arrival
Mr. Mile, from Porto Rico. Mr. Back, Lieut.
tenant Birtles, 31 West India Regiment, Mrs. Birtles,
and Mr. Wilkins, from Demerara. Mr. Wilson, Mr.
