Under the beading of " Highly Important concerning
Central America," the New York Herald contains a
statement from its Washington correspondent rela-
tive to an alleged discovery of extensive coal mines
in the Mosquito territory. As there are British
claims of ems armed connected with the territory
in question, we make the subjoined extract :
I am informed, upon highly respectable authority, that
very valuable mines of bituminous coal have been discovered
in the dominions of the Mosquito King—that equally rich
minashavoboos discovered on the Pacific side in the same

latitudes—that an American gentleman residing at Grey-
town has eantred a grant of land from the Mosquito King
and the State of Nicaragua, some fifty miles wide, and rui-
ning a hundred and fifty miles into the interior, embracing
the said coal mines, and that he her entered into an arrange-
ment with a company in New York for the settlement of this
tract by Americans, with a view to the working of the mines,
for supplying the California and Gulf steamen with coal.
I am farther advised that a member of this American

nos eanealted Mr. Crampton in reference to the set-
tleateat proposed, wbidi it is designed to extend to the
mines ea the Pacific sNcr sad that he, on behalf of the
British gosh nt, has ayatlei that the work may go on
—that goverameat can have no objection to the
=Amodio* oilsery. I am assured that there is no

said octal saws— dist they are rich, and that they have
