FROM CENTRAL AMERICA.

The Morning Journal, of June 6th has news
from Grey Town to the 9th of May, to the follow
ing effect.
The accounts Of the revolution in Nicaragua
have proved to be very much exaggerated Mr..
Manning, the British vice-consul, has not been i'm
prisoned; but it appears that General Munoz is
| endeavoring to prove that Mr.. Manning nstigated
the rising against him. An official account of what
| took place has been published at Leon, which pro-
badly is under the truth, and states that the rising
was Immediately put down, and public tranquility
restored. The Legislative Assembly, sitting at Nj
| caragua, passed about the same time vote of i'm
parchment against the Director and Minister and
these functionaries Immediately quilted Managua
for Leon. On this was founded the rumor that they
fled from General Munoz. But though General
Munoz has not, rumored, assumed the die
tatorshp, there is great fear of his Intentions and
| the country is in very uneasy state.
Don Francisco Castellon, the Minister sent by
Nicaragua to London to recover possession of this
port, has been recalled and is expected here by the

ness and inactivity. A vessel that was to have left
I've" IOTk early III Aprli, win CatOrnla emlgrants
| for this port, and another American vessel, the
Frances" an old trader between New York and
this port, both long overdue, and we cannot help
feeling some anxiety about the cause of their de-
tention
| Mr. Christie has received instructions from the
Home government to investigate the case Of all the
former grants Of land in the country which were
summarly set aside by Mr. Walker. The Messrs
Shepherds, formerly Of Jamaica, were the largest
holders Of grants, having, with third person, re-
ceived from the late King Robert grant of abou,
one-third of the whole country.
| The States of Nicaragua, Honduras, and San
Salvador, have sent agents to Guatemala, on the in
viiation of the United States minister there, to con-
! fer with him on the Mosquito question.

teIligence:
! bill has been introduced in Congress 10 remove
the capital Of the republic 10 Panama, the govern
ment fearing that the isthmus will wish TO make

IL seems the Granadians are little uneasy about
the United States obtaining permanent possession
of that part of the territory there are present
many citizens of the States congregated at Params

installed on the LIST April. The following compose
his ministry DR.. Tadua, Secretary of the Interior

quiet. The bill all udcd to above had passed the
second reading, and would probably, the third
