From Central America.

Le Francois .4me,icdna has advice from
GUATEMALA. They declare the invasion of Chi
apas and Locomatzeco, by Gen Carera, never
had any existence fact. President Carers,
issueda decree ia the 2lst, declaring the Re
public of GiIatamala, independent and sovereign
and announcing that the Chambers would soon
be summoned To deliberate on the plan of the
Constitution which the government would lay
before them. This decree is proceeded by a
manifesto addressed to the nation, in which Ca
rera explains his views and motives. He wish
es 10 define especially the position of the Re-
public, with reference to the adjoining States.
The Central American Confederation has been
for eight years in fact, dissolved. 1t has been
found impracticable, either to re establish CT
construct it anew. This condition has placed
Guatamala in an anomalous candltion, which
has been harmful to her political and CONNER
cal relations, and put it out of her power to pro-
vide herself with constitution The step now
taken by Carera has been resolved ON. 1t is de-
clared, however, in the decree, that the distinct
independece of Guatemala, shall be nc barto
reorganization of the Central American Con-
federation, when such reorganization may be-
come racticable.-BuF Express.

They also agree that the troors which left for
1.-THE interior amounted to 5000 or 10000 men,
and that they were marching in two divisions
upon Jalapa.
| From Vera Cruz to Jalapa there are reads,
and on both there are strategetcal POINTS Of
great interest. One goes by the way of Oriza-
ba-the other by the National Bridge, Encero
&c. This last is the mere common route, and
is supposed to be enc chosen by the principal
American force. BY letters which have reach
ed us by the packet, we know that the Nation
al Bridge (Which is ten leagues frcm Vera CruzJ
and which is considered the key ofthis road,
was guarded by Gen. Vega with 1000 men, in
clndng. however but little artillery and we
further Learn that at the latest date Gen. Santa
Anna was at Encero, eight leagues beyond the
National Bridge. 1t is therefore evident that
on the last mentioned route the principal resist
ance has been organized, and that it is intended
to make stand both at the National Bridge, &
at Cerro Gordo- where Santa Anna is said 10
be fortifying himself.
As it respects the number of men said TO be
with Santa Anna, it does not appear impYoba-
bile when il is considered he took with him TO
Mexico, two brieades belonging TO the amy
of the north, which (army) he left at San Luis.
The above is all the news we can commune
cate, for although mention has been made ola
pronunciamento at Jalapa or Puebla in favor Of
the Americans, neither The letters nor passen-
gers say anything concerning it, except as
vague rumor current at Vera Cruz. f~-.4

BY the Bark Child Harold, Capt. Rich, ten
days from Havana, we have papers from that
city to the 18th inst. containing adviccs to the
9th, inclusive, brought by the British Steamer
Tay. From the Diario de la Marina of the
18th, we translate the following letters, which
are evidently from Mexican sources.
"VERA Cruz, April Git is reported to day
that Santa Anna is at Encero II miles beyond

the purpose of communicating with the Gem

days, fears were entertained for her safety, and
Mr.. r. II. Ridley was sent in search Of her,
with the launch Paul Jones with forr men from
the Warren. Mr.. Ridley returned after an alb
sepce of l6 days, having crused up the San Jo-
sqrin and the Sacramento, nothing was heard
from them and the conclusion is that the launch
was lost in the bay.
1t has seldom been our lot to record 50 melan-
choly an accident. We are personally acouain-
ted with Mr.. IIug:nnen. He was a remarka-
bly, steady, talented and amiabe yourg mar,
and promised fair to be an ornament to his pro-
fession. Those who are acquainted with the
Messrs. Monlgomerys speak the hio hest terms
them. They were the sons of Capt John B. of
Montgomery of The U. S. sloop-of-war Ports

in the Bay of San francisco, and has establish
ed for himself among the people of the northern
district, reputation that docs honor TO our
