have adyices from the interior down to the 23d OF
June, by which we learn that an attempt was made
to assassnate President Carrera and the officers OF
his government The attempt failed, and there Is
every probability of another revolution breaking
out The inhabitants Of Guatemala are very bitter
against all foreigners, in consequence OF some ru-
mors that they were about aiding to overthrow the
government. General Loury of the Mosquito Ma
ton is dead, and rumor says he has been poisoned
1t is well known that threats have been made to do
it, in consequence Of his supporting the claims OF
the Central American government to the mosquito
territory in preference to those of Great Britain.
The American vessels in port are the Pelon, Bar

and the Boa de Orc, Dockendorf, to remain and run
as packet heteen this port and fzabai.

| American provisions low. Lumber Of all kinds is
still in good demand Yours, &c,
In addition to the above we note that the 4th Of

leans resident at Belize, and the American snip
masters then in port. All the shipping in the port
