In closing my letter of yesterday promised,
should the mails arrive from the other States to
dense for you their items of interest. and wrte you
again per this steamer.
From Costa Rica there Is nothing new; she still
continues progressing and is far in advance Of her
sister States. The commissioners for the arrange
ment with her Of her boundary difficulty with this
State, have long since been appointed by this go
verEment, aId she bas sgDified her great willing
ness to receive them. They are Don Dionisio Cham
orro, the directors brother AID NJ. Lejaoa. The
latter has been expected daily from the United
States, and, not arriving per last steamer, Mr. Cham
orro will await him Lo longer, but proceed mme-
diately to San Jose, the capital Of Costa Rica, with
full powers TO meet the commissioners of that re-
public. What the utimatum may be which Mica
ragua may propose am not able as yet to give you

From Salvador, / find that the official returns
make the imports into that State, through the port
30th, amount to 1852 900. Much loss ia antici-
paed to the State from the ravages of caterpillar,
called here the "langosta," on the indigo plant,
which is the great staple of the c'untry, and
sdeYed in our and the European markets as inferior
to none, unless the Hor, of Csraccss.
The annual fair is now holding in San Miguel, and
an unusual number Of merchants from abroad and
from all parts OF Central America are 40 skiing to it.
San Miguel is the Leipzig Of the Isthmus. Orders
here given, and contracts made from various and
distant markets. The immense advantag ge to Saliva.
dor produced by this commercial interchange is too
evident to require comment.
The editor OF San Salvador paper is indignant at
the imposition practised on the American and Eu.
ropean public by the Liliputan AZTEC chill aren He
calls the entire story OF their origin &C., sheer and
shallow fabrication, and gives the credit of the mater
nifty of these mopstrosTes to muatto woman Of
San Miguel, winding up long article on the sub
ect by remarkiDg that their prolific mother has ga
few more left"
From Honduras we learn that Gen. Cabanas the
President had withdra his army from the from ier
and was at Las Pieoras, few miles from Comaya-
qua. the capital, where bis head quarters now are.
The Honduras troops we're being paid with copper
money, coined by q government mint at Sequzigapa.
The peace commissioner from the States OF Nicara
qua aid Salvador were about c0nvenng for the pur
pose Of restoring tranquility to Guatemala and Hon
durAs, at small town called Santa Anna. Nothing
Of advantage, imagine, will result from this aroi
tration; as it will be impossible to please or satisfy
both parties and all who know the Spanish charac-
ter know how slow, how unwilling they are to make
concessions the one to the other. There is ques-
tion but that England is covertly aiding the Guate-
maltecos in their war with Honduras if be only by
conveying in her vessels taeir troops and munitions
Of war from point to point along the coast.
In Gua'ama Ala, the President, Gen. Carreras birth
day had been celebrated throughout the State, with
every demonstration OF joy, evipcing beyond all
doubt the great popularity OF the chief magistrate
Gen. Guardiola, name OF terror in Honduras, had
been recalled by Gen. Carrera, and is to proceed to
| Chiqnmula, there to organize large force with
| which to attack Honduras. The news Of paramount
Interest 20 the United States from Guatemala is that
pan is on foot to DIVIDE Honduras between the
States OF Guatemala aud Salvador. England will
uDquestiOnaby favor such partitions indeed, would

An influential writer Of San Salvador, in an ar
tce on the confederacy of the States thus takes
casiOn to speak Of Gen. Carrera:--
TO him Is due the Union Of factions, the conci
alton OF the masses, and opposition with vjgor and
efficiency to the powerful and deep rooted prejudi
Ces OF tuaL party whose rule was LcTTOr. he gave
liberty to sl; the clergy he re established in their
| ancient rights; he was shield to the defenceless
and rescued the States best and greatest interests
from ont OF the labyrinth of contradiction Ia which
| they had become lost. In . word, from his pro-
claination ih 1880, may be dated the dawning Of
wealth, liberty, mora ity, and enlightenment OF
| Gustemala.'
Such is the opinion of one, who confesses himself
the political opponent and who writes from another
State of the present Chief Magistrate of Guatemala
| and the opponent OF General Cabanas of Honduras,
