ANOTHER AURORA BoREAL1s EXPLANATION.

ANOTHER AURORA BoREAL1s EXPLANATION.
In the Houma Ceres of the 18th inst. we find the
suhjoined extraordinary communication. Its lucidty
and originality are perfectly astounding. Whatever
doubts may have existed in regard to the cause and
origin OF the late celestial phenomenon, are now en-
tlrely disspated Read, admire and be convinced: !:
large quantity of labor ink, pens and paper have
been called in requistion and wasted by correspond
ents and editors Of Southwestern Louisiana journals
respecting the late visitation to this outoftheway
latitude OF soidistant Aurora Borealis But with
due Difference, sir, to all the theories adduced feel
allegation set forth, and at the risk of invoking on
my devoted head the anathemas of the woud.be ex-
Founders Of that phenomenon, frankly launch forth
the following hypothesis the grand cause Of that
hyperb0rean uminary at this present political state
OF the atmosphere. :. ss- John sldell! sir, and no
one else could or would have prevailed on the ele-
ments to reconcile those nveterate enemies the North
and South poles-but himself and who knows, sir,
but what he may be, at this moment, coseted with
w. H. Seward, Of New York, concocting for their
mutual amusement and benefit, an Australia Boreais
to astonsh our dear cousins of the North. Nothing
is more conclusive to my mind, my dear Mr.. Editor,
than that Mr.. Sldell has been boxing the political
compass.
will not, however, do him the injustice Of accusing
him Of doing anything nr0ng but must assert my
belief that this Aurora Borealis Is not genuine and is
nothing more nor less than an Internal machine in
vented by him to drive the settlers from their homes
on the Houma claim. This latter assertion can be
proven by a respectable and able journal Of Ascen.
sion-the Acadian.
Well, what will our distinguished senior Senator
attempt next? Having stirred up the heavens, will
be next essay to raise the d-lY" Don't, slidell

Central American Affairs.
WASHINGTON, Sept. l7.-Official advces received
at the State Department represent that the late con-
vention between England and Guatemala did not ex.
cite an angry controversy between Minister and
the English Foreign Secretary, as apprehended by
some portion of the British press.
Both the Governments of the United States and
that Of Great Britain anticipate that the Central
American difficulty will be amicably adjusted.
The survey of the Balize boundary ordered by the
Government of Guatemala is intended merely to pre-
vent British encroachments upon their territory.
The other points of the treaty in relation to the
Island of Ruatan and the surrender of the Mosquito
proectorate it is believed will be satisfactorily set.
