The news from Central America is in the highest
degree interesting. The question Of the immediate
invasion Of Honduras had been discussed in the Nj
caraguan Cabinet. 1t was decided that the repub
nc needed repose and that for the present at least
she would not interpose between the beliigerent
parties. This decision had led to the resignation of
General Terez, Minister Of Relations but was gene
rally regarded as very jndicious proceeding. Gen.
Walkers army numbered over eight hundred men,
and learn from California that large number of
recruits were about to sail from different ports in
that State to join him. The suburbs of Granada had
been laid out in building lots, and they had been
readily bought up. Military balls, parades and
Teginental and staff promotions were the order of
the day. Major Schlesinger had been commissioned
rs Adjutant General. Colonel Kinney reports the
arrival Of colonists from Texas at San
Juan. The Colonel was evidently a little
jealous of the onward progress of Walker,

We extract from our files the details Of the news
from California the points of which we had received
by telegraph from New Orleans. There are some
interesting items of intelligence, but in the main
the news is unimportant. We give some statistics
in relation TO the shipment Of gold during the past
year and also the operations Of the branch mint at
San francisco, which will be found useful in

nothing short Of a war OF determination will pro.
duce the desired repose
Our accounts from Oregon continue to record the
hostile movements of the Indians in that remote
section of our country, but we shall look for
speedy termination of the war when troops,
under Major General Wool, shall have been fairly
set to work.
The news from New Granada and the Sandwich
Islands, though interesting, is unmportant. We

From Lower California we learn that military
officer, with party Of men, had landed at Cape
Saint Lucas and demanded possession Of the pro

in three small vessels but were made prisoners on
landing and sent 10 La Paz, where they remained in
wretched state. The expedition appears in RI
diculous light but he fact OF its is i'm
