Central America

On her upward voyage the S. S. Emile
found the whole republic of Costa
Ricaein great excitement about the war
to be carried on against Walker and his
party. The port of Punta Arenas was
fun of troops, and the command of the
same was given to Baron Bulow-. The
principal army, under the command of
Gen. Mora, was about 5000 strong, it
was accompanied by President Mora in
person, and was marching towards the
frontier Of Nicaragua. The whole num-
Der of troops to be levied is to amount to
5000 men, and, besides, a loan ofS100,-
000 amongst the natives was decreed.
The war appearedto be very popular, and
daily enIistrnents of volunteers was spoken
of Amongst the foreigners a tender OF
their services was made to the goyernment.
Commerce appeared to be very brisk at
Costa Rica; the coffee crop ascending to
ABBOTT $4,000 bags, Of which great
~-uuautity hadscome down already, and was
shipped on board of English and other
foreign vessels. Actual price of good cof-
fssaat Pnnta Arenas. $40 to 1890 per
qdintal.
Tie ports of San Salvador appearedto
be very quiet and dull; the time for the
shipment of the produce, indigo, having
passed, and the war against the fllbuster,
ing party not being popular in general
still ct the return of the Emile some more
talk was prevailing about this topic OF the
day in Central America, and people ap'
peared little frightened in consequence o
the manifesto given by Gen. Walker OF
the 10th of March, from Grenada, and il
which he threatens all governments o
Central America with vengeance for no
having listened to his peaceablc invitations
