Advices from San Salvador, South Ameri-
ca, state that dreadful riot took place at
San Miguel, town of forty thousand in
habitants, in the southern part of the Re-
public. A great deal of discomfort has been
excited against the government by its refus-
al to allow pastoral of the Bishop of San
Salvador, written in a tone hostile to the
laws, to be read in the churches. A mob arose,
attacked the CADILLAC, and liberated some
two hundred prisoners. They then proceeded
to assault the small garrison, and took the
Quartet, killed Generals Espenosa and
Castro, cut the former to pieces, and threw
the pieces at each other; split the skull of
General Castro, and threw him over wall,
where he was picked up by his mother, and
died in three days. The garrison were nearly
all assassinated, and many prominent citi-
zens killed. After this the franatic mob set
fire to some sixteen houses with kerosene.

fortunately happened that her British Ma
esty's ship Fautome was at La Union, where

garrison there, united with some troops
from Amapala, in Honduras, to march to
the relief of San Mignel and put down the
mob. At last accounts many of those were
arrested that had participated in the out
break, and a good many of the inferior
rioters had been shot by order of President
Gonzales, who had arrived with troops.
With the houses destroyed and pillaged, the
damage is estimated at 81 100000, and COM
mercial failures are looked for in conse-
quence. The country has been declared in
state of siege, and President Gonzales is
taking measures to establish order and bring
the perpetrators of this disgraceful outbreak
to punishment.
