REPUBLIC OF GUATEMALA. - A gentleman
Just arrived in this country from Guatemala, has
handed us some numbers of the Official Gazette,
and besides given us some accounts OF the state OF
affairs in that country. The bloody war which had
been for some time raging is, as readers already
know, for the present at end. Gen. Mariana
Parades is President of the Republic. Mr. Hse,
Charge d Affares Of the United States, had been
received publicly with great ceremony. We I'M
derstand, also, that he has succeeding in making
treaty with Guatemala, and likewise with Mica

parties, the Servile, to which the new President
belongs; and it is represented that not long ago,
upon some unimportant question with the State OF
San Salvador, the Consul sent for man-of-war
and bIockaded the port of San Salvador-the vessel
going off after few days and leaving boat and
a few men to blockade the port.
The Government of Guatemala, being in want
of funds, determined to lay forced loan upon all
merchants in the country, and, as most of the busi-
ness men are Spaniards, the weightof the measure
fell naturally upon them. They made protest
but, being of no avail, they put themselves under
the protection of the French Consul, who undertook
their Defence and there has been fare-up in con-

OF The annual distribution of prizes of the
Philadelphia Art Union, took place in Philadelphia
on Monday evening, 18th inst The number OF sub
scribers was 1907, and the aggregate receipts $685.
Deductng from this commissions, the cost of the
elegent engraving of Ruth and Boaz, and other
expenses the sum of $24l7 33 was left to be distri-
bu,ed. This was proposed to he done by one GER
1fcate of $500, one of $50, two of 500, four of
$75, twenty-seven of $50, and five of $40. The

from any American gallery, painting of the
named value, the work of American artist,
consulting his own taste and judgment in the mat

picture is selected is required, to authorize the
payment of the sum named as the prize.
We do not observe in the list of prizes, any
drawn by citizens in the South. The institution is
rev, and its objects improperly understood; but it
is well calculated TO extend taste for the fine arts
and to afford more liberal encouragement to
artists, by promoting the sale of their works.

letters addressed to him, at his request, by the

auuitting Mr. Macready of all agency in, or ap-
ppval Of the imputed hostility to MIR. F.
Mr. Forrest was not satisfied, it seems, with the
disclaimer in the Courier and Enquirer, to which
we referred yesterday. In that disclaimer it was
said that it was declared purpose of Mr.. For
ssI publicly expressed, to drive Mr.. Macready
from the American stage. Mr.. Forrest, through
bis counsel Mr.. Sedgwick, pronounced this also to
be false and called upon the editors to state their

Inference" by which it was implied, in the Courier
article. that he might have been party to the dis
ubances of Monday evening. The editors imme-
lately and Internationally Withdrew both the
psertion and the inference.
The crowds that visited the Broadway theatre,
Tuesday evening when Forrest was playing,
allied him out, gave him long rounds of applause,
md heavy groans for Macready.
1t would have redounded much to Mr.. Forests

which, coming from him, would have been pow
