qua The G0ceta Of January 3, announces the
blockade Of the port Of Tigre (Amapala) in the
State Of Honduras, by the English vessels, acting
under Chatfield's direction. All the Pacific ports
otSan Salvador and Honduras are now blookaded,
and Nicaragua is threatened with similar injury.
The G0cetG says " 1t cannot be believed that
Queen Victoria, in whose name such outrageous
proceedings are carried on, has been watching the

In the end, Providence will give us the means of

these foreign scourges."
war between Gustemala-or at least the
Central Government of that 5tate-on one side,
and the allied States of Honduras and San Sal
vador on the other, seems almost inevitable. We
have received the first bulletin of the allied ar
mics, dated San Salvador, Jan 6. At the call OF
the Supreme Government of the latter State, for
troops to protect the Guatemala frontier, an
army Of 1000 men, well armed and organized,
was raised at once. The soldiers were command
ed by brave and experienced officers, and were
full of enthusiasm for their cause Honduras was
in the field with an army of 1000 men, and the
union of the two armies in spirit and resolution,
is most complete. AS the allied armies approach
ed the frontier of Guatemala, the inhabitants Of
the mountain provinces of that 6tate-who are
nearly all in favor of the Federal Union of the
Central American States-1ocked from all quar-.
tiers to join them. 1t was rumored that the
people of Guatemala, opposed to the machina.
tons of the Central Government, were forming
force ofther own, to cooperate with those of the
other States.
The army of San Salvador is distributed in a
| line commencing at Coatepeque and terminating
at Chalchuapa. The Presidents of the two States
met on the 4th of January, in the town of Ocote-
peque, in Honduras, for the purpose of arranging
a common plan of action The reception Of Vas.
comedies, President of San Salvador, was most
enthusiastic. Balls theatrical representations
and public festivities of all kinds were instituted
in his honor. On the It'll he returned to San Sal
vador.
A plot Of Carera to create a revolt in San Sal
vador has been most signaly defeated. 1t APP
pears that he commissioned several citizens Of
that State, who had enlisted themselves in his
service, to stir up dissensions among the people,
during the absence of the army on the Guatemala
frontier. These men-oficers of the name of
Castro, Machuca, Gonzales, and others-were on
their way, with escort of soldiers, to meet
Carrera at the town of Jutapa. There they were
to be strengthened by corps of two hundred
men, with supply Of money, and to proceed to
the Salvadorean province of Sonsonate and incite
the people to revolt. Before they reached Jutia
pa, however Brancamonte, a captain in the army
of Guatemala, discovered their plans, deserted
with forty men and took them prisoners with the
exception of one officer and a few soldiers, who
made their escape. Brancamonte secured the
papers which revealed the plan of Carrera shot
the prisoners and Joined the allied army, with his
men. The next day another party of twenty six
men, who had also deserted from the Guatema.
Ian ranks, captured the remainder Of the revolu.
tionary party and consigned them to the same
fate. The discovery of this plot excited the
strongest feeling of hostility throughout San Sal
vador.
postscript to the bulletin, dated Jan. 9th, 10
NJ, says: From all quarters it is announced that
the desertion in the forces of Guatemala still con-
tinues Companies of armed men are continually
arriving at the town OF Metapsm, where the troops
of Gen. Nufo are stationed. The good service
rendered us by Capt. Bracamonte has almost
broken up the force at Chiquimula, and at JutiaPa
half company deserts at time. 1t is said that
Carrera has been summoned in all haste to the
City of Guatemala 1t is evident from these
statements that the Union party of Central
America is very powerful and popular, and that
the arbitrary Central Government of Guatemala,
were it not backed by Chatfeld and his block
aiding feet could not maintain its ground day
longer.
| Senor Doroteo Vasconcelos, President OF San
Salvador, issued on the 10th of January an elo-
| quent and forcibe address to the people Of Cen
trail America, in which he wildly describes the
present position Of affairs. He considers the
/ peace of the other States violently menaced by
the Government Of Guatemala, and asserts that
the maintenance of sufficient force to protect
/ Honduras and San Salvador is absolutely neces-
sary at present Referring to the exploit OF Bra
camonte, he gays that the Government possesses
documents taken from the captured soldiers,
which fully prove the iniQuity of Carreras de-
signs, and that if the people OF Guatemala do not
all rise against their rulers tits because they have
not the power. That State, he declares, possesses
no Constitution, and is anti.republican in all its
forms. He calls upon the Central Americans to
unite in defense of the republican institutions of
their country and the Federative Union OF the
States. We translate what the President says
Of Chatfeld:
