WALKERS PLANS IN CENTRAL AMERIcA.-
A plan (says IN exchange) has already been
started for the revival of the old Central
American confederation, which is likely to be
successful. Honduras and San Salvador
have, ON the invitation of General Walker
accepted them. This invitation is to be ex.
tended to Costa Rica aud Guatemala, and
unless they accept it, the forces of the three
other combined States, it is said, will be used
to compel them. 1t is 10 be regarded as an
act Of hostility if they refuse. Walkers
plans already extend to all Central America.

COMING EVENTS FoREsHADowED.

lfrom the Philadelphia North Americana
MoRE TERRIToRY.-Ihe twenty ninth
parallel of latitude is named us the next
Southern boundary of the Union. General
eGadsden is said to have been negotiating with
Santa Anna for new cession of territory,
including all north of that line, when the
progress Of the revolution interrupted the
proceedings. OF course no one knows how
true this is; but Gen. Gddsden has a ,cay nj
'criting home 10 his friends rague hints Of i'm.
portam things going on, 'ehich sci conjecture
all dgog 10 ascertain the precise truth. The
difficulty about the payment of the three
millions Of the last indemnity, ard the dc.
mand for reparation for Callaaan's invasion
and the burning Of Piedras Negra-, all con.
spire to assist this conclusion, and probably
before President Pierce goes oct Of office he
will communicate treaty with fresh dc.
mand on our surplus millions. The twenty.
ninth parallel would throw into the United
Suites two-thirds of the Mexican State of
Sonora aud two.Iifths of Chihuhua,with pop
ulaton enough to form one of our States
In such case the new territory would have to
go under political pupilagc rs Territory, or
else New Mexico would have to be admitted
us u State. A rumor is ailoat in the newspl-
pcrs to the effect that Gen. Gadsden has sent
word to Washington that if the balance of
the Mesilla indemnity he not paid to the
present Government of Mexico not another
foot Of territory will be ceded to the United
States. Meantime we have various other
projects for acquiring new colonies Thus
the report is revived that Russia is willing to
sell her American possessions to us for con-
sideration in money-rathcr too Arctic mat
ter for the folks ut Washington, us neither
cotton, tobacco, hemp, rice, nor sugar
can be grown up there. Then there is u re.
port coming from Europe that Russia has
suggested to Denmark the propriety of set
tling the difficulty between the latter and the
United States by selling to us the Danish
West India Island Of st. Thomas, the price
of which, five millions of dollars, may be ia.
ken also us our consideration for freeing us of
the Sound Dues. st. Thomas is Il small is.
land to the windward of Porto Rico, with II
population Of seven thousand souls. Right
near to it is another small island called Santa
Cruz, also owned by Denmark, with thirty.
two thousand inhabitants For five millions
of dollars we ought to get both of them. But
st. Thomasis of much importance from its
geographical position, which is such us would
render it formidable position in the hands
of n naval power. 1t has fine harbor, and
is always first sought by vessels in distress
coming from seaward. Were It in our pos
session it would, in a great measure, nulily
the purpose for which the British hold the
West India, as naval power might from
it command the whole eastern front of the
West Indies and the coast of the United
States.
