CENTRAL AMERICA.

We have before US Honduras papers 10 the l4th
ut, which enable US to give more definite account
OF the recent connections In Central America than
has before reached US. Gen. Morazan who as will
be remembered, was formerly President of the Re-
public being the avorite Of the aristocratc or
sentative party If such party can be said to exist in
Spanish America and was driven from il by Carrera,
the barbarous Indian who has for some years been
the dictator Of Guatemala, returned on the middle OF
February last with an army OF nearly 1000 men He
proessed that one of his principal objects to Of
fer his sword to government IN reyengng the insults
of the English at Honduras. HIS landing was effect
ed at La Union whence he readily advanced into the
interior to San Miguel where he paused for some
time to organize his troops Meanwhile disturbances
broke out in Santa Ana in the Province of st. Sal
vador, which eventually tended to Morazan's advan-
tage, and were probably influenced by his in
trigues
Carrera, at Guatemala, his seat of government,
made such exertions he could to march against
the rebels and invaders; he levied forced contribu-
ons to the amount Of 900 dollars for the support
of 5000 troops, but his movements did not eyince
that energy which has formerly accompanied them.
The people OF Guatemala are represented as taking
very little interest in the result
On the 18th Of March, Carrera marched towards
ST. Salvador with about 1000 men, no accounts hav-
ing been till then received for time of the state
OF the rebellion. On that day however intelligence
arrived that MoraZan had re-embarked at La Union
and sailed farther north to Acajutla, which port is
only about ~ miles from the city Of Guatemala. lie
did not re Lain here however, but put to sea again
on the l4th Of March. His destination was not
known and he has not since been heard from
Although the insurrecton in Morazans favor
among the troops in st. Salvador was still in full
force, Carrera, probably anticipating attack by
Morazan on his capital returned to the city dssa-
tsfed," but for some reason not explained, af-
ter disbanded his troops This is our latest intei-
gence coming down to the I'd Of April. Although our
information from this quarter the city Of Guatemala
would take the tone Of Carreras partisans it is mo-
where stated that Morazan was discouraged or had
withdrawn. Indeed there appears reason why he
should do So as il does not appear that he had met
W it'll any reverses
Morazan himself disavowed all desire to revolu-
tionize the country. He declares in his proclama-
ton that his coming has other object than offering
himself to the government jointly with his compan-
ions in that they may be employed in the de-
fence the nation againae attempts Of the Mosquitoes
There is high degree of philanthropy in this enter
prise, if we take the declaration in its most obvious
sense. Should it prove successful we trust some of
Morazans generals may be induced to attempt it in
more Northern latitude.
Our readers will remember that General MoraZan
and General Carrera are constantly alluded to in
Mr.. Stephens's book of travels in Central America.
When MIR. s. left that country, Morazan was in
exile.
