Since nv last letter to you pronunciament0s have
continued TO be made in other towns and depart
ents of this republic, ~ in favor OF sking Presi
dent Rafael Carrera perpetual President, and grant
ing him those extraordinary powers before men,
toned. There appears, however, to be difference
Of opinion in of the departments as TO the ex-
tent Of these powers-some being anxious not to
confer too much at once, whilst others seem deter
mined TO give him power and authority in the
country greater than that POSSESSED By the head OF
any civilized nation on earth. :
In this state Of affairs, Of course pnhic atten-
ton has been greatly excited to ascertain
what steps would be taken in this city.
About the 18th ult. it became known that
the municipal and other authorities intended 10 take
some action in the premises; and as Il would appear,
TO prevent any undue influence, the President took
his departure to an estate Of his the Pacific coast
At the meetings Of the municipal officers nothing
definite could be agreed they are eleven In num-
and several opposed TO 1t. Notwithstanding this
feeling, Oh Tuesday, the 23d ult the pronancia-
mentO was made, and signed by about two hundred
Indians, (of whom am not aware that one belongs

zens and by Of the authorities, but not in their
Off ia capacities. Indeed, It y csnfdenty stated,

Aycinena, the whole affair would have been sorry

proceeded TO the cathedral, where the ~ De,m

quite different version to the affair, but ths &C
count give you Ii the true or course It's
publication Will give great offence to the editr OF
that journal; but as that gentleman appears 70 de-
light IN publishing everything he possibly can thai
even when the statements 80 Published are known
to be untrne--he must not complain when he finds
the HERALD publishing truths in regard to his
try he dare not give utterance to. good deal OF
feeling has been created here against the people OF
the United States by the letters of gentleman re-
siding in New York, but wac dates his letters from
Washington. l presume he thinks that he has a
right to write what he peases for publication in the
Gazette here--a privilege which certainly have
the came right to possess, and which shall GER
tainly exercise. an#
The rsyages Of the locusts continue and the
scarcity Of -four, corn, DC, is uuabated. Govern
ment has issued circular addressed 10 the various
departments, requiring information as to the pros
pect Of the new CROP the quantity Of grain Of va
rious kinds on hand, the amount of damage done
by the locusts, ard whether they appear Is be in,
creasing or decreasing in the various localities
where they are now ravaging. The prices of all
kinds OF grain continue the same as quoted in a
former letter.
From Honduras we learn here that the attempts
Of the Guardiola party 70 Gust Cabanas from the
Presidency have entirely failed, and several Of those
concerned in the movement have been shot. how
far the government OF Guatemala s responsible for
this matter al We. remains secret; but 1t Is well
known that Guardiola sought assistance, that he az
forwards proceeded to Chiqumula, and subsequently
crossed the frontier in company with Guate malitAl
troops the affair, to say the least looks suspicious
RumOrs, too, are current OF large force Of Aneri
cans being about to concentrate in Omoa, to aid
Honduras In the exciting war with Guatemala. If
this should prove true, We may expect hot work
ere long; for, under such circumstances, there are
numbers here who would avail themselves OF the
opportunity to test the stability and prowess Of the
present government.
The persons exiIed from Nicaragua by Chomorro
and who took refuge in Honduras, have organized
an expedition with view OF, il possible overthrow
ing the existing government In Nicaragua. The
expedition, Consisting OF one schooner aud three
bungo number Oh men not known--sai led from
the bay Of Conhagua, and made descent and
seized upon Resiejo. AT our latest alvices it vas
said tcat they wese marching upon Leon.
AS yet nothing definite has been done in regard
to locating capital for the state OF San Saliva
DOR The seat OF government Ia AZ present at CoJu
tepeque, though many families have returned to the
ruins Of their former homes in the city, unsil some
thing definite is arranged. The greatest distress
still prevails, although every thing possible is be-
ing done to alleviate it. The entire sent from
this. Is about 81 ,000 Subscriptions still going
| on, aud considerable addition will doub. b.
made TO this sum.
The ong-pending question Of the right TO the de-
| partment OF ENTHUSIASTICALLY wrested from
| Guatemala by Mexico in ls43--has just been set

| two governments, by which Guatemala cedes to
Mexico all her right and title in Locon1sco and her
claims upon Chiapas for the sum Of s420 900, paya-
BILE in four instaments and within limited time.
The cochineal crop this year has beea most favor
1 able, and it is presumed will make up the
losses sustained by its cultvators for the failures Of
the last three years. The other crops will all fall
short of the average, owing to the locust.
J. f. Gayareti, ESQ, formerly Secretary of Capt.
| WIght's Pacific Steamship Company, and well
! known in New York, has BEEN appointed Consul
| General for Guatemala, at Belize; and on his APP
| pontment being approved of by her Majesty 9
government, he will proceed to his destination.
Mr.. Gayaretti's gentlemanly demeanor has made
him general favorite wherever he has been, and
have no doubt win render him equally 30 in his new
| position.
The rainy season is jus. commencing, and there
is every appearance OF its being pretty wet one.
