AyrrorrTIIso OF CrNrR,L AMERIcA.-A correspond
emf of the Eypress. writes that Mr.. Stephens, Chargl
d. Atfaires from The United States 10 Central America
and Mr.. Cathcrwood, the proprietor OF several unri
vailed panoraimas. have recently made a visit TO Quiri
qua, where they discovered many interesting ancIen
relics. After prosecuting their researches III TINS place
il is their intention TO proceed 10 Quichc and then tc
Palcnquc, in the province of Chiapas, in Mexico.
The following are the discoveries made IN QnIrgna
Gone statue 10 feet high, lying upon the ground
One ditto 10! feet high, lying upon the ground, face
looking toward the heavens. One ditto 10 feet high
inclining similar to the stecplc or tower at Pisa. \ no
nument % feet high, perpendicular, in the form OF az
obelisk, full of hicroglyphics, with an human statue Gu
upon its top, and has some figures in lis hands. Ano
Their statue . feet high, representing a woman. one
other statue ~ feet high, representing on one SIDE 'i'
figure of a woman, on the other 4 man, IN good prcserv
alton Another, the head Of giant, d feet IN diameter
Two affairs most elegantly sculpturcd. One obelisk !;
feet in height. Four other monuments IN distinct
places, one of which is ola circular form, and upon
from the river. In the centre between these four mo
covered with hicroelyphics and inscriptions; meath the
stone is two human heads, covered nearly with vegeta'
ton, upon which the stone rests.
The above monuments are found about 3,oOO feet
from the river Montague. The time OF Mcssrs. Ca
thcrwood and Stephens being short, they were unable
to make more discoveries IN that place: but they are
satisfied that these monuments, Nc, can be removed
and conducted 10 the L. S. Of America, which IS then
intention, while those of rairEGue are so lar IN the 'iIte'
rior, it would be impossible 10 remove them. We also
learn that the human figures, and the ornaments thai
appear about them, are similar TO those OF fa!cnfne.-

shall cxpcc; from these distinguished, pc-seycrins and
