This hattie will no DOUBT, break the neck Of the
hostile intentions of those States against Guatemala
and put speedy end to what might otherwise
have been long and protracted warfare.
From some official documents published in the
Gaceta it would appear that the pretext of the Sal
vadorenians for this unprovoked attack, is the
blockade of their ports by the British, which they
assert has been done at the insiigation Of the Qua
temalian Government
The Watchman of February 8, has the follow.
SBy the Gaceta from Guatemala we see that the
celebrated annual fair Of Esqupnlas did not take
place as usual, in consequence Of the menaces of
war from the State of Saivador-ihus causing con.
siderable injury TO the commercial interests Of sew
eral parties in all the different States of Central
America who had made arrangements and laid
their plans of speculation at this fair, where nearly
every merchant meets TO barter and sell.
By the same paper we see that General Nufio
has also been foiled in his attempts to induce the
mountaneer insurreclonsts at Pa'enca, Jalana
and Sanarate 10 Join the SalvadoreEians in their
projects of conquest; for although still disaffected
they have refused to join thus showing that al
though dissatisfied they are not opposed TO the
Government.
Troops are daily leaving for the frontiers. On
the 7th ntimo a large division under the com
mand of General Forenzana, marched toward the
borders OF Salvador, to place themselves at the
orders OF His EXcellency the Commander-n. chief
decree had been issued by the President oil
Guatemala, requiring all persons who, by what.
ever right, have obtained grants Of uncutivated
lands, and those who hold them in virtue of per
mission mahogany works in the northern coast o.
the Republic, must present their documents TO the
overseer of lands within six months from date, on
pain of forfeiture, that they may be properly
registered.
