be hoped that this Government and the inhabitants
Of Belize will afford them every aid and facility 10
their power, and that success may attend their ei
forts. There is no doubt that II once fairly settled,
these people will by their enterprise and example
show the inhabitants of British Honduras that there
are other meansof obtaining a livelihood beyond
those Of mahogany emitting and even thus confer
benefit To the country.
The Waterman Of June 90, has the following
from Guatemala:
By 1.-THE Guatemala Gazette Of the 9th inst we
perceive that a very large convoy had arrived at
that city by way Of Chiquimula and Jatiapa, with
dry goods. They took this road in preference to
the old one, as provisions were more abundant for
the troops ard muleteers and the pasturage was
better for the beasts This is the largest quantity
Of goods that has been received at enc time since
the roads had become 30 insecure-itwss composed
Of 1905 mules, carrying upward Of 1000 packages
Of goods, and 100000 ia cash. belonging to differ
ent merchants, who were to invest !. in the pur-
chase Of oochineA 1t is calculated that the freight
alone amounts to upward Of $4,000.
Mons Cosnier, commander OF the French cor.
vette-ofwar, had left the city for Is.apa together
with bis officers, where they intended embarking
The cochineal crop, which gave such indications
of abundance, has suffered considerably in the An
tgus, in consequence Of some heavy showers Of
rain. In Amatitlan they had got it in without
injury.
The last operations Of his Excelency General
Carrera against the insurrectionsts have an i'm
portance far beyond anything that has taken place.
The mountains Of the Carizal and OF the Tobon
where the bandits had their lurking places and
stores OF provisions, were fortified and defended
by them. The General in. Chief knowing the i'm
pOrtaDce OF making an incursion on the said noun
tsins, proceeded thither before going 70 Chiqui'
mula to escort the convoy and penetrated into
the mountains, conquering the difficulties opposed
10 him by the natural fastness Of the places, and
the obstinacy with which the mountaineen de-
Tended their entertainments The huts 10 which
these parties concealed themselves living without
respect 10 laws and in open rebellion against the
authorities were destroyed, they flying 10 the "a
vines and caves in the forests. The effect OF these
vigorous measures against the mOuntaineers has
been very great
On the Sd ult. the estate OF San Geronimo in the
department of Vera PsZ, was attacked BY party
Of iebelionists. The small force which was there
resisted until assistance arrived from Sasma vhep
the mountaineers were defeated and fed, leaving
four dead and some wounded. During the attack
they burnt twenty four houses in The town.
