COSTA RICAN AFFAIRS.

From II NtcaragleHse, May q.
The concurrence Of reports from Costa Rlca, that the
country is actusted by internal connections, and that
the Presidency Of Gen Mora is in danger of over
throw. inductSus to attach some Importance to the
statement. Before Presdeat Mora lett Virgin, he be-
heved himself that his power unpopular at home;
and he cid not make hm~1f faster by de.eiting 50 -
gloioury the expedition he commenced with such vain
and trenciant proclame,ions. Ell Ncaraguease ad-
vstd in the beginning that his would bring down
upon Lin unto evils; but lie disregarded the admo
hilton and the result Las approved the assertion.
Three causes have conspired TO bring Gen Mora in
great d,rppute at home The vanity which prompted
him to undertake individually the suppression OF the
present Republican Government of Nicaragua, was
e ficient to condemn hm in the estimation OF the
world but in Costa Rica, where the people might
foohy shut their eyes to the probability OF such an
undertaking. they could not avoid observing the disas
tous chain Of rcnmstances that commenced with and
have continued to follow the expedition of invasion.
But there is reason to suppose that the people OF
Costa Rica approve of the war and If We are to credlt
the advic,s fom that State, it il altogether probable
hoetiities were commenced wholly without the consent
and against the wishes of the majority we Will not
assert that the people of Costa kica approve of the
presence Of American soldiers IN Nicaragua but they
dio not with any conflict with them Unless general
league Of offensive operations could De formed among
tl. four adjoining Central American States against this
Republic. Failing TO perfect this combination, they
chose TO live in peace and accept what destiny might
be held in store for them under the course OF Poges
sve events that threaten TO dlsentha the For!'
But the real anu tdDp'Dlc Siouh"oO Va
recent popularity at home is to be found hrs IN his
impudenl attack upon this State without efechg Tue
above combination; second, I'D having sacthceu 80
may victim-, both by and cholera, IN nm unpro-
veked outrage upon this Republic; and third In nav
ing introduced the cholera into Costa Rica, where II IS
crt atpg rad devastation. :.
II is also stated that the Republicans, or those dis
co,tented with the existing authority ~ Costa klca,
have originated revolt in the city OF Alauela, where
the people have always opposed the sefvle adnhnis,
tJaton of affairs. IL quence OF these untoward
crcumstance- says our Spanish editor, Gen. Mora is
unceitain Of his continuation in power or OF his own
personal security.
Thus the false steps of politicians continually jeop.
ardse the national welfare and undermine the -sibity
Of peace and progress. With blind temerity Gen.
Moa involved himself in war with Nicaragua; and
to day the prospect Of ru9 to himself and evil to his
country is the prominent contingency of the times or
tie three thousand men brought with him in bis war.
Like invasion scarcely twelve hundred survive to tell
the story of their defeat and the destruction of their
friends ar, with all it's horrors, has vi-ited them,
and yet the chain of disastrous consequences has not
ceased to sfot the survivors. The men are deserDg
and the officers resignng-al absolutely ydisgustcd with
the lmproviGeDce that has plunged the country into
such labyrinth Of misfortunes. And still, We may
add, the end ir not yet
