A letter from a correspondent of a mercantile house in Boston, dated Tigre Island, November 2, says: "I arrived at the island yesterday, after a long and severe passage from Punta Arenas, where I left in a Costa Rican vessel, on the 16th of October, for the port of La Union, expecting to be there in four days. We arrived at the entrance of the port yesterday morning, and found the port and the coast of Salvador blockaded by British armed vessels. Our vessel was not allowed to enter, neither was I permitted to land. I leave to-morrow, in a boat, for a near port on the coast of Honduras. The blockade, as I understand, will not last long, although this port has been blockaded for two years past, owing to some government trouble with England."—Boston Courier.
