GUATEMALA.

In the schooner Planet, which arrived at Boston

Commissioners from GuatImala to propose the
Union Of that important province with the United
States.
They are 1t. Col. RafsaI Castillo. Col. Manuel

The three Commissioners are to proceed 10
Washington in few days.
Although we do not conceive it practicable for
Guatimsa and the United States 10 form one uris
ldiction, we think the proposition made by the peo-
pie of that province very high compliment to our
Igovernment--as high one perhaps as it would be
possible Tor it to re Give. The offer Of people oil
different origin, oil different language, and of diff
erent habits and who are separated from us by g
wide extent Of land and water-their offer to unite
their fate with ours, to become one with us, to sub

which we may justly be proud. Phil. OAK
