The Nicaraguan steamer brings rs advices iron

tirely successful. The late Dictator Chamorro win
four hundred men, was closely invested in the plaza
Of Granada. The besieging force was reported -
two thousand men, including company Of Amssi-
cans, numbering forty rifles. 1t is believed that lie

plaza which event has probably occurred before he

to assume the duties, Of Provisional President.
has accepted the call, and took the oath a
Office ON the 18th Of June. His Discourse
on the occasion was moderate in expression. but
significant in substance. BE advocated the widest
tanned the doctrine that the executive should n
ways reflect fairly and fully the popular WILL He
said -
'My programme, in all that concerns the State In

1.-THE questions pending between the State and Ger.
tain foreign companies, am DESTROYS Of arranging
tremendously and with strict reference TO the rights
and interests Of the State"
Senior Castillon, it win be remembered was for
merly Nicaraguan Minister in England, and subsa-
quenty Secretary OF State Of the Republic. He Is
man OF liberal principles, and committed to the same
line Of policy with General Cabanas the President

Matagslpa, in the department Of Legovia, against
the whites and Ladinos, or mixed inhabitanAs.
Senior Francisco Gomez, ad interim President d
Honduras, who has great influence with the Indians
generally, had gone TO Matagalpa to quiet them. II
is supposed he viii be successful.
Honduras, at last accounts, was enjoying perfect
quiet. A considerable number Of Americans here
toforc resident in Nicaragua, were proceeding thi-
ther, under arrangements with the Honduras Railway
Company, which is commencing its operations. Saw
mills, and other establishments for facilitating the
work, were erecting on the entire line. Amongst
the number Of Americans establishing themselves in
Comsyagua, is DR.. j. W. Livingston, late United
States Corsul in Leon, gentleman long resident
in the country and universally respected by the
people.
The alleged grant Of new route of transit, via
the River San Juan and Lake Nicaragua to Salinas
Bay on the Pacific, BY the government of Costa
Rica, ia attracting considerable attention. This
grant, nominally to Mr.. Kirkland and Meers, h
said to be really to Commodore Vanderbilt, who wiz
proceed at once to open an opposition line. The
Bay of Salinas is fine harbor In comparison with
San Juan del Sur, and should Nicaragua assent TO
the enterprise, the Commodore's new route win
prove formidable rival TO all others now in exist
tnce.
The steam saw, planning and single mill establish
cd by an American company on the Island Of Tigre,
in the Bay of FoDseca, was in full and successful
operation. Several ship loads OF the finest lumber
ever seen in the Pacific had been shipped by the
proprietors to California, Valparaiso aud Caliao.
The establishment is said 70 have paid for Itself
within the first ninety days afterits opening.
The Inc Of steamers, by Mr.. Wight, on the Pacific
coast Of Central America. had been formally aban-
doned, and the vessels, or rather vessel, TOR only
one (El Primero) seems 70 have been ON the coast,
had been sent to Chile.
Affairs in Guatemala were in very disturbed
state in consequence of the triumph of the liberals
in Nicaragua. 1t was supposed that the dictator
hip Of Cairera would b. brought to termination
,imar 10 that OF Chamorro in Nicaragua. Il is.
however, said that he VIII be supported by Santa
Anna in case OF diAiculty. The annexation OF Gua-
;emala to Mexico 10 openly advocated by the
monarchical party now dominant in that State.
