By the annexed paragraph from Belize (Hon-

that war has broken out between the States of San
Salvador and Honduras, in Central America:
Our advices from the interior confidently assert
that the long-threatened hostites between the
States of San Salvador and Honduras have CON-
menced. Guatemala has supplied the former with
loan of arms and ammunition, and it is even said
that Gen. Cabrera is raising troops to aid them.

OUR MINISTER TO LONDON.


The Union Of yesterdays issue furnishes the
following paragraph, which may, we presume, be
deemed and taken to be official:
i" We understand that Mr.. McLANE's reception
in England, public as well as private, has been
most gratifying to him and complimentary to our
Government and PRESIDENT; for if,r all, in
spite Of our own democracy, the statesmen OF
England choose to regard our Minister rather as
an ambassador, representing the person of the
sovereign. Mr. McLANE's reception by the QUEEN
herself is said to have been most gracious, and
accompanied with unusual expressions Of respect
for our Government and Chief Magistrate. A
letter from intelligent Englishman says that
American things are looking better, and the people
are recovering from the senseless clamor which
the fanaticsm of politics had created in regard to
American AFFAIRS
We do not mean ourselves TO cavil at the terms
Of this paragraph, conveying intelligence which is
in itself very acceptable. But how will the I'm
terrified Democracy" relish the doctrine that the
