General Carrera, President of Guatemala, left
the Capital with some forces on the It'll of March,
in order to direct the operations against the nsur
gents, who kept the country in state of continual
inquietude. Carrera determined to try pacific
means before he resorted to force. As in lucatan
ecclesiastical mediation resored to in order to
pacify the Indians. Accordingly, various priests
and curates left San Sebastian, Matasquescinntla,
Esquipuas, and other places on the mission otpeace
but in short time they returned without having
been able to effect anything by their exhortanons
''The union with the insurgents of the Indians
who inhabt the vicinity of Jalapa, who had always
been the most seditious in Yucatan, and VINO now

temporizng.
The people of the revolted districts are wan
dering about and suffering the greatest misery
Much injury has been caused to the commerce OF

seizure of foreign letters by the insurgents. In
Jatiapa Nita and at other points, there have been
encounters with the Indians, in which they fought

In this manner the States, without being deprived
of their sovereignty, will be more respected abroad
| Some disagreement existed between the States OF
| San Salvador and Guatemala on account of the
forces of the former having involuntarily invaded
the territories of the latter which happened in this
manner: 'Some parties of the insurgents pursued by
the troops of Guatemala fled into the territory of San
Salvador The Guatemalians were commanded by
a Colonel who twice entered San Salvador-once at
the hacienda of Matalapa, where the boundaries
are not very well defined, and another time by
crossing the frontier at the river La Paz, and pene
trated half league in pursuit of the rebels who
had encamped on the banks of the river, and made
incursions thence into Guatemala The explana-
tons given by that State in reply to the demands Of
San Salvador, ought to have convinced the latter
that there was no hostile intention on the part Of
Guatemala 1t is believed that there will be rup.

complicate the danger which menaces them on &C.
count of the war of castes."
