CENTRAL AMERICA.
NEW-ORLEANS, May 1.
In a Vera Cruz paper of the 20th ult. we find an account of an insurrection which broke out on the 29th of January in the city of Alajuela, province of Costarica, Central America. The revolt was made in the name of the King of Spain, and caused much alarm to the Republicans on account of the rapidity with which it spread among the Indians. The leader was Jose Zamora, a lieutenant colonel in the armies of Spain who reached the province of Costarica from Colombia. Zamora was seven days at the head of the rebels, before he was taken, and such was the dread he inspired, that the Republicans put him to death in their hands, which was on the 6th of Feb.
Several other prisoners taken on this occasion, were condemned to the mines.
