AFFAIRS IN COSTA RIGA.


SAN JOSE, Dec 25 1853.
Mr. Saliscb, whose resignation and dsnssion MS in
struetOr Of the militia mentioned 10 you IN my last
letter has already left Costa Rica, as it is said, IN
order TO fight in Turkey against the Russians. Ac-
eoTding TO other rumOrs be intends 10 0her MS SER
vices to the Government of Nicaragua, for the con
quest Of the province Of Guanacase Tor Nicaragua
or If opportunity should be favorable, to make sally
into Costa Rca at the head Of North American fill
busters The sudden dismisson Of this man, who pro-
poted to introduced military terrorism INTO this
peseesble, coffee Republic has made great sensation
According TO the of well informed persons,
The Government had received from Guatemala some
mtimations respecting Mr. Saisch which proved that
this brutal soldier, having been accused OF double
murder in the colony Of San Thomas, had withdrawn
himself by fight from further judiciary Investigations
of the case. The Government had till now not only
protected this POlandifh COndOttieFi, TO whom, how
ever must be acknowledged an excellent military in
struetOn and iron energy OF character, but also
granted 10 him many profitable industrial privileges
1t was hepcd that his skill would not only Introduce
better discipline among the troops but also accustOm
them TO machne-lke obedience similar TO the sol
diers Of the Old World, perhaps in case one should
also be inclined in Costa Rica, one day. to some coup
dtta In consequence of the accusations which
were brought against Mr. Sasch, aud perhaps also for
Gear of the increasing dscOntentE the Government de-
cided to abandon the military instructor to his own
mercy Even the Secretary OF State, Monsieur Marie,
the patron and friend OF Mr.. Salisch was unable TO

was sharing the fate Of the former Costa Rca is not
country where one wants Bonapartical despotism,
nor il able TO exercise IT, The character OF the fe0
pie is soft and peaceable but il is at the time
great enemy of all kinds Of formalites and police
restrictions NJ Marie continues In the official Gacetd
TO praise the system of the Emperor Napoleon, and 10
recon mend il to imitation. PERJURY, usurpation and
the absousm Of brutal force SEEM in his eyes, 1.-THE
"causc Of order" This vain Frenchman ventures to
make believe mot TO the world for who reads the petty
haxond the Limits of the Centric American
States y but to the people of Costa Rca that the
fallen, absoutstic France is still the most powerful
leading State of the world, and that Napoleon Ill is
the greatest man of his time The United States, on
the contrary according to M. Maries opinion, are but
the home of lawlessness, of adventurers, swinders
and "humbuggers" NJ Marie makes many efforts
to follow in Costa Rca the language OF Mr. Granier
de Cassagnac in Paris although the venal pen of the
former is much less well paid But in spite of the
political infancy Of the people OF Costa Rlca M
Marie will never succeed in the execution of his
purposes. The French "escamoteur is too
easily to be detected, and, besides, the French
vanity has for long time become the knocking
of the world The political respecting pass
ports etc, which had been recommended by NJ Marie,
have proved totally mpractcabe, such practices
too much at with the feelings OF the people Costa
Rica ought to rejoice for lite tranquility and It's pros
perity and it would appear the part of the Presi
dent of the Republic, the greatest wrong, should he
listen to the whisperiDgs OF French journalist, and
attempt to transplant the dreary institutions of the
happy France into this enyiable happy country
In aspect Of the great events in the East the same
state Of siege in the northern part of Central America
presents but little interest The hostilties between
Guatemala and Honduras for the moment
posing probably on account of mutual exhaustion.
Only the newspapers of both Republics continue the
most exasperated paperwar against each other Upto
this moment, Nicaragua has achieved nothing with
its proposed interference. About the recruiting OF a
CORPS Of volunteers in California the part of Hon.
duras, the rumors have become entirely silent
Here, in Costa Rcs the great object of the day is
the coffee crop To It's coffee Costa Rica is indebted
for it's wealth. the increase OF its culture, and its COM
merce Ii is therefore but just, that here the coffee
bean should be revercd the bearer of civilization
No wonder that il exctes more interest than the
Russo Turkish quarrels The coffee crop Of this year
is estimated at but IS 900 quintas, $4,000 quntals
less than that Of the last year. The uncommon guam
ty of rain that has fallen during the wet season this
year. has done injury 10 the coffee tree. The
price of coffee is uncommOnly high La the capital OF
San Jose il is - the ouinta and az the port of Punts
Arenas $40, while longer than six years ago
the price never exceeded 81 per quntal German
house at San jose that has received orders 10 buy
coffee to the amount of $4,000 is unable 10 procure
the quantity required at lower price than IS per
quintal although money is very here and the
whole amount would be paid in cash. 10 order to
counter the disastrous influence which the political
events in Europe may soon exercise upon thu coffee
trade il is more than ever talked OF TO export the
whole crop of Costa Rca 10 California, and TO pay all
the goods imported from Europe with Californian gold
The Government Of Costa Riea has at length decided
10 negotiate a loan in Europe in order 10 be able to
bsid noads" of which the country is much in need
For this porpose the Government has entered into
gotiatiors with German banking house in Frankfort

well known no public debts well conditioned hnsnces,
