CENTRAL AMERICA.

(From the "Evening Bulletin/ ~ April '4.) By the steamer St. Louis we have later news from Central America. A " treaty of peace, friendship, and commerce," has recently been celebrated between Nicaragua and the republic of Honduras, and approved of by the Government of the former. Tho ratifications are to be exchanged within J the period of six months from date, or sooner if possible. General Mestoria has been declared President of the republic of Honduras for the next Constitutional term. There is no news of any importance from this little State ; everything indicates peace and prosperity, and the same may be said, just now, of all the other Central American republics. San Salvador has just done a shabby thing. She has concluded a treaty of peace and friendship with Spain, thus placing herself in antagonism to her sister republics. The Panama " Chronicle," referring to • this disgraceful alliance, says : Spain has then, at last, secured an ally and a sympathiser on the Pacific, in the person of Duenas, the murderer of General Barrios, and now President of Salvador. This adventurer's policy now proclaims wW he really is — a tool in the hands of Spain. The republic of Salvador may yet have cause to rue the day when it listened to his hateful counsels, and allowed itself to become a stock horse for the elevation of this man, withhis dark designs, to power and unlimited authority.
