N.B. The Ministerialists were called Moderados, or Moderatists, the Oppositionists Fiebres, or Feverists. Without prejudice to the talents and abilities of those Members, against whose names no observation appears, the characters of the others have been here noted according to the current opinion then existing with regard to them. That this opinion was true, in a political sense, is seen by reference to the State of St. Salvador, in which the opposition to the Government has, unfortunately, led to the fatal disturbances with which the republic has incessantly been, more or less, agitated, since the period when this list was made out.

The state of parties was then as follows:

Ministerialists	17
Oppositionists	12
Doubtful	4
Total	33

The expected dissolution of Congress will give a sway to the party which may get the better of the other in the existing struggles; and it is to be confidently expected, that the Government of Guatemala will then be finally settled on a firm and solid basis.

The above is Copy of a Plan in the Archives of the Republic.

1ST JULY, 1825.G. A. THOMPSON.

N.B. By the foregoing Table it appears that there were taken 347 Levels at about 100 yards apart.

	Feet.	In.	Lines.
The aggregate Amount of the Descents of Land between the South Sea and the Lake were	604	9	6
The aggregate Amount of the Heights of Land between the South Sea and the Lake were	470	9	11
Making an excess of Descents above the Heights of
Feet	133	11	7

or forty-four yards, one foot, eleven inches and a half; which calculation is the Level of the Lake, at high water, above the average height of land between the Lake and the South Sea: but it should also be remarked, that, although, in all the maps extant, this tract is represented as mountainous, the greatest actual height of any part of the above land is only nineteen feet one inch, as appears by the Level, Number 219, in this Table. The distance between the Lake and the sea, at the proposed communication, is, by the above measurement of 32,687 yards, only 4 leagues 4,687 yards, of 7,000 yards Spanish; to the league.

EXPORTS

TO THE

SOUTH AMERICAN REPUBLICS.

The official value of goods exported from Great Britain to Mexico in

	1822 was	90,692
	1825	1,409,356
to Colombia	1822	27,572
	1825	651,103
Rio de Plata	1822	230,839
	1824	1,581,774

With Brazil a steady increasing commerce, both for exports and imports, has been kept up, with the exception of 1826, in which year, the exports to all the countries in South America fell off nearly one half, owing to the over excitement of 1825, and the consequently sudden depression of the following year.

The exports to Brazil in	1825 were	4,196,872
	1826	2,593,730
	1827	3,822,432

The total amount of exports from Great Britain, of British and foreign merchandize, to every part of South America was as follows:

1822	..	3,990,344
1823	..	5,802,437
1824	..	7,857,610
1825	..	8,082,551
1826	..	4,531,094
1827	..	6,602,163

thus shewing a steady and progressive increase (with the exception above stated) for the whole period. The proportion of colonial and foreign merchandize, included under the general head, is rather less than one thirtieth part.

IMPORTS

FROM THE SOUTH AMERICAN REPUBLICS.

The official value of the imports into Great Britain from Mexico and the states of South America was, in

1822		£1,541,218
1823		1,733,803
1824		2,084,916
1825		2,630,408
1826		1,263,650
1827		1,752,461
