From Our Own Conespondest
GRANADA, Wednesday, April Is, 1855.
Having an opportunity to send to Virgin
Bay in time TO mail my Letter, hasten TO add
the latest news Though Of no great interest)
which has reached here Gen. Muhoz has again
returned frem San Salvador 10 Leon, and is re-
ported to be the most popular leader among the
revolutionists. There are now three different
parties in and about Leon and Chinandegs, or
within the lines of the iactonists, viz; The Cas-
tellon party, OF houte burners and robbers-the
Jenex party, or Fag enders and plunderers of the
haciendas, and the Muuoz men, composed of the
most respectable portion OF the "iacclosos.
These three parties are ALL OF course, opposed to
the Government, and were formerly united under
the banner of Castelon with the avowed Intention
of overthrow ling the Administration Of Chamorro.
Failing in this, they took to burning and robbing
the dwellings Of all such as had or were supposed
TO have ANYTHING valuable in their abOdes, whether
in the towns or at the haciendas scattered over
the country; committing such acts as only band
of the worst desperadOs would be guilty OF, and
finally settling down into the three divisions above
mentioned OF these, it is impossible TO say
which leader has the best reason 10 be proud OF
his devoted followers But the prospect Is
that Il ey will soon like the Kilkenny eats, finish
themselves, or be finished by the Government
troops. They are already at loggerheads; Jenez
against Muuoz, and both Of these q" brave Gen
"erals" Jealous Of their faction President, Castel
Ion. Beneventurs Selva, ard II any other such
worthless, have already left the Republic-their
yalor having oozed out at their fingers ends.
The General in Chief OF the Government forces,
Corral is at Msnagua with his entire army, and IT
is expected will attack Leon within a few days
There is some important news now in the city |
am told, from Gen. Corral. but as yet 1t is kept
secret.
The Assembly adjourned on the 10th inst. after
a session of only one week, without naming q
President. Ii was deemed inexpedieHt, under ex-
listing circumstances to call Gen Corral from his
command of the army and be was she man,
learn, most likely 10 have been chosen. he de
peted President Jose Maria Estrads, will there
fore continue to I'll the office of Chief Magistrate,
until the close of the war
The United States sloop-Of.war ST. Marys Is eN'
pected at San Juan del SUD in few days from
San Francisco.
L. 81 lave this moment been told that
Through the perseverance, Of Col. Wheeler. he has
succeeded after several days eSertion in obtaining
the issuing of decree by the Government. doing
away with the monopoly Of foreign liquors which
had existed here for the past three years and hss
caused more difficulty aud wrangling along the
Transit route than all the other annOyanees which
have been complained Of The Government sold
the right for a consideration, to one individual
emily, TO import into the country foreign liquors,
but recently bought back the contract, and has
opened the trade 10 all on the condition OF pay
ing a duty of 10 reals per gallon.
