CENTRAL AMERICA.-We have searched the
newspaper accounts by the last arrival from
Central America for reliable information, to
very little purpose. All we can find worth lay
ing before the Stars readers is an Aspinwall
letter of the 4th inst, to the New York E.rpress
from which we make the following extract:
"Per British mail steamer, which arrived at
Aspinwall on the 18th of June. we have dates
from Bogota to June 3 The sudden departure of
WI DO"lH created discussion. The
take ground that Mr.. B. IS departure was induced
by his inettciency and the dissatisfaction which
II had caused in Washington.* IL was also con-
sloered by some OF the papers with reference to
Its consequences, and the occasion was embraced
for rebnke to those politicians who stave off a
settlement and defer defence until the impending
danger Is too near to be avoided. Congress had
been in secret session. but nothing of their doinos
had transpired. A rumor has however reached
the lsthmus, that power to settle the difficulty
with the United States had been given to the
President, and that the instructions consequent
upon such measure go TO Gen. Herran, New
Granadian PlenipOtentiary at Washington by this
steamer. We have but little else of interest or
moment i'll the Bogota papers. Authority has
also been given to the President to increase the
present military force on the Ishmus to one thou
sand men.

from sheer bankruptcy. The offices of the State
and OF the municipalities, such of them, at least
as are dependent upon the State for salaries are
vacant almost continually;
The reader will perceive that the rumor re-
ferred to above is in accordance with what a
few days since We took occasion to mention as
being expected to take place in the Granadian
Congress in diplomatic circles here.
From Nicaragua there is literally nothing
whatever reliable coming by this last arrival.
That is, 50 far published in the newspapers
Two or three interests are deeply involved in
the success of continued Misrepresentation con-
corning Nicaraguan affairs. First, the filibus-
ter interest, whose aim it is to represent the
Government utterly disorganized, and the peo-
pie divided up into bands Of adherents of two
or three different chiefs. The story that apy
native party there is in secret alliance or sym.
pathy with the iibusters is Of course, manu-
featured of whole cloth. The steamship specu-
lators are also interested in misrepresenting the
political condition of the State. (Nicaragua)
Those of them who hope to work Costa RIGA I'D
to the point of endeavorng to obtain the transit
route, ,or rather Of ceding its franchises to
them, are equally interested with the flibus-
tiers in generating the impression that Nicaragua
is in state of anarchy and without a govern
ment. The probability is that ere long we will
be in the receipt of private adyices coming by
this arrival, which really shed light on the con-
dition Of affairs on the Isthmus.
