ROAD TO CALIFORNIA.

VALUABLE APPROXIMATIONS TO EMIGRANTs TO
THE FARTHEsT WEsT.-rhe following letter
from Gen. Arbua !, is in reply 10 note ad
dressed TO him by the Editor of this paper, in
regard to .ne proposed route to California up
the Canadian. The information contained in
the letter, will be found of the utmost impor-
lance. Gen. Arbuckle has been stationed on
this frontier for nearly 30 years, great por-
ton of that time at Fort Gibson, and is there
fore, able to speak, in great measure, from
personal knowledge, and actual observation.
He has travelled over at least two thirds of the
ground several times. 1t will be seen that
the Gen. gives the decided preference TO the
south side of the river, and his reasons for SO
doing, will be obvious to every one who will
put himself to the trouble to look at the situa-
ton of the country, as laid down on the maps.
The letter is so full of information, suitable
for the emigrant, and indeed the whole Amer
lean public, that it is unnecessary for us to
make further remarks, but will add, that, ema-
mating as it does from so high source, it is
entitled TO the fullest consideration and credit.
We request the papers in this State and else
where, to copy it:

FROM HAvANA.-Our dates from Havana By

rio de la Marina has news from Guatemala, the
dates however, not being given. little flare
up between the French Consul and the new
Government OfGuatemala had been amicably
arranged, so far as the Consul could do it.
The British Consu-Gen. had also had "a diff
iculty with the anne Government, but an apol-
ogy YVES made, with which, OH the 9Th of Sep
TENDER, the Consul declared himself satisfied.
The Governments of Guate maa and Salvador
appear to be out of tune with each other. Saliva
dordesires the re-estabishment of the confeder-
acy OF Central America, land recently sent a di-
plOmatic agent to Guatemala, to negotiate for
it; as sole remedy for the evils of the country.
This agent shortly withdrew, satisfied that he
could effect nothing. Salvador has now ac-
knowled the independence of Los Altos, against
which the Government of Guatemala is making
war A commission from Los Altos to Sal
vador has been duly acknowledged, with
congratulations upon the appearance ola broth
er State, deprived for many years back of its
most sacred rights.
The editors of the Diario have the Bole tin
of Puerto Rico of the 25th ult. The Boletin
confirms the entrance of the forces of Paez in
10 Maracaibo, and says that in Cara bobo Gui-
ria, and Apure, various parties of consideration
had pronounced in favor of Paez, and were op-
Grating against Monagas. but without any
great results for the want of arms and ammu-
milton.
A passenger who had arrived at Puerto
Rico in fourteen days from LA Guayra. reports
that the situation of Venezuela is rpuch more
deplorable than any can imagine; that to Judge
of it truly you must be in the country and see
the evils which affiict it, The partisans OF
Paez. far from being disheartened, INDUCED
sanguine hopes of success, but the supporters
of Monagas were just as little dismayed, be-
cause they have the control of the principal
resources ofthe country. While both parties
were thus bent on each others determination
it was quite possible that they would succeed
in destroying the country.-N. o. Pic. 18Th
