SAX JUAN DEL NoRrE, Jan. 2.-The Belize,
or British Honduras, has been elevated to colo
! ny, the superintendent converted into Cover
nor, and constitution given to the people. This
province extends almost across the continent, and
with the recently created colony of the Bay Is
innds, foreshadows the sequel to the Mosquito
protectorate.
The famous Monroe doctrine, so exultingly
proclaimed and reiterated, seems to have been
scattered to the four winds, for the heart Of this
Western world is occupied by the most powerful
Of the European States, and her vessels of war
are constantly hoverng around like birds of prey,
chipping off bit here and there, and plastering
/. on to some colony or other; elongating a
boundary line here, and seeing yonder forest OF
mahogany trees, forthwith proclaiming it Belize
--actiug under instructions, of course.
THE possessions of Great Britain in the Wes-
gtern tropics seem to be increasing, and it be
hooyes the American government to be vigilant,

Y muuication with the Pacific States at critical
8 moment.
Il is rumored that the Central Americans
have repossessed themselves of the port of Lii
mas, from which they were elected in September,
1851, by FL B. NJ. schooner Bermuda, now
here, and have again hoisted the Central Ameri-
can flag, in the room of the Mosquito
HAVANA, Jan. Is, ls53.-Since the begin
ming Of the present month, we have an expelled
{ British merchant from st. Jago de Cuba, Or
] dered out of that city by the Governor General,
Medena, who would not even give him hear
ing, and he refused giving the British Consul
there any explanation whatever of such an arbi-
trary measure, on the plea that the Consul was
only Vice Consul, ,and that Mr.. Boylen was no
British subject, having zen out carta de domi-
elio which every foreigner is compelled to do be-
fore he can even reside in this, island.
The Captain General appears inclined to sup
port the Governor of St Jago in his outrageous
act, on the principle de no retroceder but. the
question, if not settled here soon in satsiacto-
ry way, will 60 before the British Parliament, as
the British Consul here is firm in the defence Of
: the injured British subject.
Mr.. B. has brought letters from the constitu.
ted authorities in St. Jago to testify to his high
standing there. To the present time he is not
aware even of the charge laid against him. He
offered $4,000 worth Of property, and his per.
son, for legal trial by the Spanish laws, but he
would not be listened TO-
What are we to come to in this unfortunate
country? .r
The news has just reached US of the fall Of
the Ministry in Spain. Of course Canedos nose
is out of ioint 1t caused quite commotion in
the palace this morning Whoever comes here
in the room Of Cancdo cannot act worse than
he has done during his short administration.
( The poor man has to thank Mr.. Secretary Ga
Gano for the execration in which he is held by
all classes Of the community, except the slave
traders.
