The following is the proclamation issued by Prs.
aident Buchanan in regard to the new fillibustering
schemes :

Wheresa, information has reached me, from sources which
I cannot disregard, that certain persons, in violation of the
neutrality laws of the United States, are taking a third
attempt to set on foot a military expedition within their ter.
ritory against Nicaragua, a foreign state with which thee
are at peace , in order to raise money for equipping
maintaining this expedition, persons connected therewith, re
I have reason to believe, have issued and sold bonds ea
other contracts, pledging the public lands of Nkomo%
and the transit route through its territory ea
security for their redemption and fulfilment : the
hostile design of this expedition is tendered ear

no passible value to their holders unless the present 'oven.

The leaders of the former illegal expeditions of the sane
character have openly expressed their intention to nee
hostilities against Nicaragua. One of them who has airs*
been twice expelled from Nicaragua has invited, through the
public newspapers, American citizens to emigrate to that
republic, and has designated Mobile as the place of res.

to which they are bound. This person, who has mama
his allegiance to the United States, and claims to be Presi-
dent of Nicaragua, has given notice to the collector of the
port of Mobile that two or three hundred of those emigrate
will be prepared to embark from that port about the middle

to proceed to Nicaragua se peaceful emigrant% if any sod

will be exposed, I, Jana Buchanan, President of the tithe
States, have thought It fit to thine this my

faithful in suppressing these illegal entertain, and in earn-
ing out their standing Instructions to that effect, and exhort-
ing all good citizen@ by their respect for the laws, sad the
=for the peace and welfare of the country, to aidthe
of the publlo authorities in the discharge of the
duties. In testimony whereof I have hereunto (L. 8.) anny
hand and caused the seal of the United State to be Mad
these presents.
