FRANCIS.
From Belize, GuasemaIa and Yucatnu.

PAPERS of the 18th December have
been received at New Orleans, from
Honduras.
The American brig Oetduid, from
Chagres, put into Belize in distress, be-
ing out of provisions. She had a num-
Der of passengers on board from Califor-
MIA, having with them large amount OF
gold dust.
Another party, having sent their gold
by way of Chagres, arrived at Belize,
having traversed Central America,
and were detained some time. They
left California in sailing vessel, with
a number OF others, amounting to
upwards OF two hundred individuals,
bound for Realejio or Panama, but
being out of provisions and water
they put into the port Of Acajutlo, on
the Pacific. Thence they travelled
to the Gulf coast.
In Guatemala the war against the
mountaineers was still raging. On
November 18th, a skirmish took
place in the mountains of Changuis,
between the Government troops and
the rebels. After four hours hard
fighting. the insurgents were dislodg-
ed. leaving forty-nine dead, four
prisoners, and a large amount OF
munitions OF war. The Government
troops lost five soldiers, and four Of
fcers slightly wounded.
There was a rumor in Belize that
the British are about TO appoint a
Governor over the Island Of Ruatan,
which they appropriated to them
selves some time ago.
The most distressing accounts
have been received from Yucatan.-
The whites are now in a worse posi-
ton than ever before. During the
short armistice with the Indians, the
people of Merida (no doubt supposing
that hostilities were at an end) again
wished to assert their independence
of Mexico-those of Campeachy, on
the other hand, are opposed TO such
measure; the consequence is, an
outbreak being expected, some OF
the garrisons stationed in the inte-
rior have been withdrawn. The In
dians taking advantage OF this ruP'
ture, pounced upon their enemies
about the 10th ult., in the town OF
Tecash, took them by surprise, and
burnt nearly all the houses, killing
some three hundred, besides woun-
ding a great number. and taking
270 stand of arms. The Indians had
only six killed outright and eight
wounded. 1t is expected that ere
long Bacalar will fall into the hands
OF the Indians.

The report Of the committee on
Banks and the currency in the Con-
stitutional Convention was before
that body the other day, but its con-
sideration was postponed until Mon
day next. This report embodies the
most radical notions Of the no-Bank
party-Providing for the total anni-
hiIation Of all paper currency in
Ohio. We notice that Mr.. Case,
Oemocrat,) has presented an amend
ment providing to submit the matter
separately to the people. This is
certainly to be preferred TO the incor-
poration of the ultra doctrines Of
the report, into the Constitution by
the Convention; but the Convention
must be dull indeed if they do moi
know that the same question has
been settled again and again by the
popular vote of the State. Those
really desirous Of conforming. in this
matter, to the wishes of a majority
of the people, cannot mistake thai
wish.
The action Of the Convention on
.his subject will be watched with
much interest and anxiety.

THE SPEAKER AND CLERK.

We announced in our last the election of the Hon
Linn Boyd. of Kentucky, as Speaker of the House
of Representatives; and to-day we give the VOTE
Mr.. Boyd is well qualified for the duties of the dis
TING uished post which he had been called. He has
had much experience member Of the House, and
is thoroughly acquainted with Parliamentary law.
He is a gentleman o. excellent common SENSE, and
possesses that order of ju5gme and hrmness Oh
character essential in presiC'ng ofncer. he 10
Democratic Republican Of the best sta mp.
We are also highly gratified at the election OF MI
Forney Clerk of the House. No man has shown
himself better entitled to the confidence and esteem
of the National Democracy than John w. Forney.
His election was due to the noble Republicans Of
Pennsylvania, as we'll as to HIMSELF for his upfinch-
ing advocacy of the Constitution and the fugitive
slave law, in the midst of the bitterest demonstra-
tons against both. No man contributed more than
Forney did, in the late contest in Pennsylvania in
overthrowing that infamous Abolition Wing, Gov.
Johnston.
The House has moved off we'll, so far as the cleo.
ton of its officers is concerned. We have doubt
that the election of these gentlemen to the above
named posts will give perfect satisfaction to the De-
mocracy of the whole country.
The Wings, it seems, had no regular candidate for
Speaker. They scattered Stevens, Stanly, and
others. Stanly received several votes from Massa-
chusetts and only two three from the slaveholding
States We congratulate him upon his success
in securing just one of his colleagues from North
Carolina, out of six. The unanimous vote of Alfred
Dockery for Edward StanIy, shows how popular
Stanly is among those who know him best That
vote was worthy of Dockery. His g. 6rmness of pur-
pose and great strength of intellect
strikingly displayed. We do not however, credit the
report that .Dockery is TO be selected by the two
Houses to welcome kossuth. The truth is, he could
hardly find time to attend to such a duty as that
South Carolina, and the best plan for bringing fire
and sword to bear upon her, will require all his ta
EMS and attention.

Young Gentlemen A copy of your proceedings
upon the occasion of the death of our friend. ]. Nj
DeRernere is before me. AS one of his relatives l
grat6ed by this manifestation of your respect for
his memory; it is the mare grateful to me because
know he deserved it, and it is heartfelt on your parts.
After DeBerniere commenced studying law, his mind
seemed to deveoPe and give evidence of power, of
which he we'll as his friends were before not con-
scious. His close application made him fit example,
which you will be the more encouraged to follow
because of his evident and rapid advance in making
himself master of the science of law, and his devo-
ton and actual love for the study.
Yours truly,
