AT NEW YORK.
REVOLUTION IN COSTA RIGA.
EXPULSION OF PRESIDENT MORA-HIS All
RIVAL IN NEW YORK.

The North Star, from Aspnwall 9th inst, arri
we'd yesterday morning. She brings interesting
| news.
| A revolution has taken place in Costa Rica Pre-
| sident Mora was seized while in bed, and carried
| Oft to Guatemala. He accompanied by hi:
brother, Gen. Mora, and his Minister, Canas Sc
nor Marteeagro was chosen provisional President

the troops at San Jose, the chief of the conspir
ators. President Mora arrived in New York in

! We learn from Nicaragua that the harbor oil
Greytown was still partially closed, and that sub
scription was on foot for funds for clearing away
the distractions. There is nothing whatever o
Importance from the interior of Nicaragua.
The British mail steamer Lenia arrived Al
| Panama on the evening of the 5th instant from
Valparaiso. Her dates to August l6 from
that port, August q from CallaO and Lima
and September from Guayaquil. The news is un-
interesting.
| 1t appears from the statements of the Purser OF
the Lenia, that the people of Guayaquil, without
the assent of the Government of Ecuador, have
made terms with the commander of the Peruvian
blockading force He says an amnesty (probably
an armistice) has been concluded, to last fifteen
days, or to Sept o. From this it is fair to suppose
that the vexed question which caused the blockade
| will soon be settled
There is not word of news from Peru. Presi-
| dent Castillo has been visit to the Chincha
| Islands, in the frigate Amazonas.
| Dates from Sucre, Bolivia, are to the l4th of AN.
| gust. The country is buiet. Some little expecta
tion of war with Peru existed, but no doubt mat
ters at issue will be settled amicably.
