Centrd Ame3icd.-From Guatemala the
latest accounts say convention had been
signed, regulating the boundaries between
Guatemala and British Honduras
Senior Jose Maria Vela Yrissarri has been
named as Secretary of Legation in the United
States.
War seemed to be inevitable between Saliva
dor and Honduras, but it was thought that
Guatemala would interfere to preserve the
peace.
Advices from Nicaragua state that Mr..
Lamar, the American Minister, had sent copies
Of Mr.. Cass's dispatches to the Government, to
which the following reply was made:
Nicaragua, sovereign Power, claims the
right to accept or eject the treaty. She has
had, previously, three treaties with the United
States which were ratified By her Congress and
rejected at Washington. That on this one she
only requires amendments. And that after
Congress considered the treaty last year, and it
had been sent to Minister Jerez, in Washing
ton, who had full power to remedy it, the
Cabinet, though agreeing to certain mOdihca-
tions, did not make them, nor was the United
States Minister in Nicaragua authorized to do so.
Furthermore, when Sir William Gore Ouseley
concluded his treaty, which was the Cass- Yiris-
sarri treaty, with remodifed amendments, ac-
cOrding TO the American view, General Lamar
then made the Zeledon treaty, with favorable
amendments to England and the United States,
in conjunction with Sir Ouseley.
l. e
any insult to the United States in this pro-
ceeding.l
AS to the Mosquito treaty, it will probably
be accepted. Nicaragua claims the return of
the MOSQUITO Territory Internationally, and re-
fuses to acknowledge the King, whom neither
she nor the United States ever admitted; and
she prefers to let the matter remain IN statu
quo than act against her honor.
In regard to the seizure Of the boats of the
Transit Company, Nicaragua justi6es her con-
duct.
1t is reported that challenge has passed be-
tween Mr.. Garret Davis and Mr. Simms, the
Democratic candidate for Congress in the Ash
land district of Kentucky, and that hostile
encounter will soon take place between them,
near the Tennessee line. We noticed the quar-
rel between these gentlemen some days ago.
1t arose from political differences.
