INTERESTING FROM CENTRAL AMERICA.

a Native EDibuster In the San Salvador
Legislature Retoicings IN Honduras over
the Surrender OF walker.
We have received from Comayagua broken files of
the Gacsta Official Of Honduras 70 the Goth of May,
giving account of affairs in that capital, which we
translate below.
Under the head Of Bravo San Salvador the
Goctta gives protest of several Senators of the San
Salvador Congress against that bodys concurring in
the acts Of che House of Deputies until it hsd ex
PEELED from its bosom the Deputy Zelaya, as an
enemy TO his country, traitor, and an accompce
of Walker in his criminal enterprise OF coDquering
Central America, and annexpg it to the republic Of
TIE United Sta.es." 1t seems that Deputy Zslaya
disdained to reply to these accusations when made
against him by the press, saying only that as
much, and more, too, had been spoken and written
in France against Chateaubriand, Alexandra Dumas
and Victor Hugo" which greatly inceosed his oppo-
nents.
The Senate concurred in the proposed measure;
but Il PAGERS DO not state if the House OF Deputies

Occasion is taken by the Gaeeta, in commenting
upon this subject to say that the act # tbs Uoodu

purpose; and that though NJ. La mar, ine probably
never heard of the Honduras ccpst'u tuition, it was
great honor t. its founders that they had been ami
mated by the same sentiments and held the same
opinions with that eminent poet, o ator, historian
and statesman. u adds, thaC though prosecutions
for political offences were common and executions
for them not rare previous TO i64S s that period
there bad nor been a SINGLE exc uion; and yet the
government had not been less secure, nor had the
progress OF society suffered.
A more stringent police law and criminal courts

work already commenced, by forming an alliance OF
