received Of hostities between the states OF
Guatemala and San Salvador. Several skirmishes
have taken place between the troops Of the two
States The difficulty has been brought abOutby
the blockade Of the port Of San Salvador by the
British squadron on the Pacific coast. Against
this blockade Vssconcelos the President OF the
State, strongly protests in proclamation issued
on the oath of October, considering 1t as pre-
text to get possession Of the country. The troops
of Honduras and San Salvador had invaded Chi
ouinula, in the State of Guatemala. On the 10th
of November the President of the latter State
addressed a circular to the representatives of for
egn powers communicating the fact. Mr.. Chat
field, in reply, states that Great Britain will not
look with Indifference on the proceeding, but
will hold the States responsible for any damage
to British interests.
We copy the following more minute account of
these proceedings from the Honduras Waterman,
Nov. 30:
1t Is with regret that we perceive, by accounts
from this State, that peace and tranquility is far
from being restored By dates which we have re-
ceive6 up to the 6th inst, we find that the noun
taineers are far from being subiugatedi for with
the assistance, and at the instgation OF the San
Salvadoranians, they still continue to wage their
unlawful warfare, and keep the country in state
of inquietuae and disorder. From the Gazetd we
extract the following:
On the 25th ult the parties who still remained
armed were divided in small portions, attacking
different places and causing injury to several cot
! tages and small villages. Colonel Manuel Maria
Bolanos returned TO the city Of Guatemala on the
| 23d. and General Carrera still continued directing
! the military operations against the mountalneers
| on the side OF Paencia and Jalapa.
! On the first inst by an official communication
! from the Chief Magistrate and COmmandant Gen
eral of Vera Paz, dat ed the oath ult. 1t is known
that the day before the turbulent Indians OF sata
| Cruz endeavored 10 surprise the garrison at san
! Geronimo but were repealed, being OPPORTUNITY
! aided by forces from Salama. The Indians were
| pursued until they buried themselves In the noun
/ tains; four were killed and several wounded.
Bv communications from the magistrates OF
| Chquimula and Jutiapa it is known that two par
! ties of rebelonists, of about one hundred men
| each some OF them armed, were making their
way toward the frontiers ofthe State OF Salvatore
it is uncertain whether they are flying from the
pursuit of the Government troops, or going Tor
more ammunition and other implements oil war;
to continue their incursons against the peaceaole
towns.
On the 9Th inst it is stated his exceency
Gen. Carrera arrived in this city with that divis
ion of the army Immediately under his comm and
A number of families, who were residing In the
mountains have also come seeking protection, In
! consequence OF the steps taken against the re-
belliOnists -.
| From private source we have had the addi-
| tional news that about the 14th inst Gen. Nuio
| made his appearance near ES4",Fni"' a. "a. To- g.
! Of about 800 ERlvadoranians, but was met oy DO
lares, Corregdor of Jutiapa, commanding tne
Cbiouimua party, and completely routed. Nuho
it is said, lost some forty men, and one Don san
tiaco Gonzales. formerly of Chiqulmula, was
nearly taken prisoner; from this, it would appear
that It is the same old Chiquimua batch beginning
again.
The same paper of Dec. IA says
From the State of Guatemala we have re-
ceived the Gazeta of the 22d ult. by which we
perceive that the menaced hostilites between
that State and Salvador are daily assuming
more warke aspect. By the TRANSACTIONS which
we give in another portion of our columns our
readers will be better able to judge OF the state
of that country. The war against the mountain
GERS still continues raging-a serious sklrmlsh
took place about the l4th ult in the mountains oil
| Cbangus, between the Government troops under
| the command Of General Cerna, and the rebel
| liopists The bulletin from which we extract our
| information says: After four hours hard hght
! ing, in which our troops and ofhcers DehaVed
| with their accustomed valor the enemy were ais
! logged from the advantageous position which they
occupied leaving forty nine dead, four prisoners
| forty-seven muskets, twelve lauces drum, three
cases Of ammunition, one hundred and sixty
loose cartridges, twelve mules thirty horses, the
greater portion with saddles and brides. On our
| side we had the mel 4ncholy loss OF five soldiers,
and four officers slightly wounded.
The news from Yucatan, brought by the Ma.
sardis, confirms our previous accounts OF the
ravsges of the Indian tribes. The Waterman o.
| Dec. Z, says:
| Yucatan from what we can learn is, if anything,
| in a worse position than ever, as the Spanlards
! have it appears already commenced wranglng
among themselves. During the short armlstlce
which has taken place withthe Indians, the people
r loo Aonhf hOQtIlItIRg
were at an end again wished to assert their In
dependence of Mexico. Those of Campeachy, on
the other hand, are opposed to such measure.
| The consequence is, they have come to logger
heads, and an outbreak being expected, some OF
the garrisons stationed in the Interior have been
withdrawn. 1t is also stated that until this point
is finally settled, Mexico has determined to main
tain strict neutrality, and positively refuses to
make any further advances. The Indians taking
| advantage of this rupture pounced upon them on
or about the 10th of November, In the town OF
| Tecasb took them by surprise, and blrlt nearly
all the houses killing some three Kindred left
dead on the field, besides several wounded, and
the taking of two hundred and seventy stand OF
arms. The Indians had only six killed outright,
and eight wounded.
If the above account be correct it shows that
peace is far from being restored and that the ces-
sation of hostiities was merely, as 1t were,
little breathing time, prior to commencing with
renewed energy.
It's fearful to contemplate such state OF THINGS
and fully msniests and bears out the old saying,
that even a worm, when trodden upon, VIII turn
round and sting. The Indians In this state, have
been for wears in the most abect state OF slavery,
and ruled with a rod of iron the yoke which they
have had 70 wear has at length proved too CALLING,
and they have risen TO resist the oppression and
tyranny from which they have suffered
DEFEAT AT TEcAsH-From Yucatan we hear
the most distressing accounts. The news OF the
defeat of the spaniards at Tecssh has been con-
frmed, and it is expected that ere long Bacalar
will fall into the hands Of the Indians. Colonel
Zetina, it appears, has fallen out with the au'
