from the State of San Salvador, Central America

politics of these States, for the purpose of dmploy-

the end Providence will give us the means OF lib-
Grating ourselves from such tyranny, and the ven

foreign scourges.'
A war between Guatemala--or at least the Cen
tral Government of that State-on one side, and
the allied States of Honduras and San Salvador on
the other, seems almost inevitable. We have re.
ceived the first bulletin of the allied armies, dated
San Salvador, JAN 8. At the call OF the Supreme
Government of the latter State, for troops 10 pro-
tect the Guatemala frontier, army of 1000 men,
well armed and organized, was raised at once.
The soldiers were commanded by brave and expe-
rienced officers, and were full ol enthusiasm 1or
their cause. Honduras was In the field with an
army of 1000 men, and the union OF the two ar
mics, in spirit and resolution, is most complete As
the allied armies approached the frontier OF Guate
mala the inhabitants of the mountain provinces OF
that State-who nearly all IN favor OF the
Federal Union of the Central American States
GDcked from all quarters TO Join them. IL was ru-
mored that the people of Guatemala, opposed TO
the Vaccinations OF the Central Government, were
forming force of their own, TO cooperate with
those Of the other States
The army OF San Salvador is distributed in
line commencing at CoaIepeque and terminating at
Chalchuapa The PRESIDENT of the two States
met on the 4th of January, in the town of Ocole-
leque, in Honduras, for the purpose OF arranging
a common plan of action. The reception of Vas.
concelos President of San Salvador, was most
and public festivities of all kinds were Instituted
in his honor. On the 7th he returned to San Sal
vador.
plot OF Carrera to create revolt in San Sal
vador has been most signally defeated. 1t appears
that he commissioned several citizens OF that State
who had enlisted themselves in his SERVICE to stir
up dissensons among the people, during the alb
sence of the army the Guatemala frontier.
These men-ofiicers of the name OF Castro, Mac
huca Gonzales, and others-were on their way,
with an escort of soldiers to meet Carrera at the
town of Jutiapa. There they to be strength
ened by corps of two hundred men, with supply
of money! and to proceed to the Salvadorean pro-
vince of Sonsonate and ncite the people to revolt
Before they reached Jutapa, however, Branca-
monte, a captain in the army of Guatemala dis
covered their plans deserted with forty men and
took them prisoners, with the exception of one
officer and 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 an
other party OF twenty-sx men, who had also de-
serted from the Guatemalan ranks, captured the
remainder of the revolutionary party and consigned
| them to the same fate. The discovery of this plot
excited the strongest feeling of hostility throughout
| San Salvador.

| A. NJ, says: From all quarters it is announced
| that the deseron in the forces of Guatemala still

| half a company deserts at a time. 1t is said tha
Carrera has been summoned in all haste to the cit

Senor Daroteo Vasconcelos, President of Sar

America, in which he vivdy describes the presen

other States violently menaced by the Govern
ment of Guatemala and asserts that the mainten

San Salvador is absolutely necessary at present
Referring to the exploit Of Bracamonte, he say
that the Government possesses documents take
from the captured soldiers which fully prove tn
iniguity of Carrera's designs and that the peopl
