VS.. the PeoPie-Death OF N1aiespin, the

BY the British brig Elizabeth Porter, Captain
Albee, which arrived at this por. last evening,
we have received news from Honduras to the I'd
of December.
Our correspondent, stationed at Bellies, far .
nishes with the intelligence that there has been
serious outbreak and attempted rebellion in the
State of San Salvador, which at one time threat
ened to revo.utionize the whole of Central Ameri-
ca. This outburst OF popular feeling was produc-
ed by the impositons of some of those who, under
the cloak of religion, have taken upon themselves
the privilege oftyranzing over and robbng the
poorer and defenceless portion of the inhabitants,
whenever an occasion offered itself. Fortunately
the rising storm was crushed at an early hour,
and quiet was restored by the death of the hypo-
critic, who, while protesting the creed Of Chris
tan, performed the deeds Of demon.
1t appears that Malespn, who, for some time
has been hiding in Honduras, suddenly made his
appearance in the State of San Salvador, at the
head of large body of men, with the intention
of revolutionizing the State, assisting Bishop
Viteri in his plans Of opposition to the general
himself at the head of the Government.
Two years only have elapsed since Viteri ex-
communicated Malespn, and cursed, by bell,
book and candle, all that should aid or abet him.
The Bishop, however, got himself into trouble a
short time ago, with the authorities of San Saliva
dor, for assisting in some revolutionary move
ments, and was, in consequence, confined to his
house under guard.
Malespin, by some means or other, opened a
communication with him, and, by way of reel.
PROBATION, the bishop had taken off the ban of
accommodation. and received him back again
into the church.
On his route to the city of San Salvador, Males
pin commenced levying contributions on the
people going to the fairs of San Miguel, or in other
words robbing them.
The authorities OF that department, having been
preparing for his reception, sent out body of
troops. battle ensued, in which the revolu.
tionists were defeated with great loss and Males
pin fell, fighting with the ferocity ola tiger.
The death OF this desperate man, will, it is
thought, prove blessing to the people of the
Central American States, as he has, without ex-
ception, been by far the greatest enemy to the
peace and prosperity of the country. He emily
sought his own and his followers ACKNOWLEDGMENT,
and was perfectly reckless to the results of his
numerous attempted revolutions.
In Belize there was no news worth recording.
The schooner Victoria, owned by the firm of
A. Mathe & Co., was lost on the morning of the
25th ult on Glover's Reef. The passengers and
crew arrived safe at Honduras on the following
Sunday, but the vessel would probably be total
loss.
The trial of Adolphus Frederick Connell, r. A.
and Henry Symons, charged with murder, was
to commence on the 4h inst.
There was advance in tie price of provi-
sons after the receipt of the news by the bark
John X. Gardner. Lumber was in good demand
and rather scarce. No pitch pine in the mar
ket.
There were no American vessels in port. The
brig Monserrate, Gray, was loading at Deep
River, for New York and the Matilda, Jenkins,
was daily looked for from Nassau, where she had
been undergoing repairs.
We arc indebted to the kindness of the editor of
the Belize Obssrver and Gazette, for extending the
use Of his news-boat to our correspondent, in
order that he might overtake the brig Elizabeth,
which had already gone to sea when the above
information was received
