COSTA RICA-PORT OF BOCA.

DEL TORO.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sin,—As you gave insertio❑ in the body of your
paper to the letter of Mr. Montoya, the Vice-Consul
of New Granada, to which the enclosed is a reply
from the Consul- General of Costa Rico, I rely on
your justice to give the same degree of publicity to
this as was given to the former, in order that both
sides may be equally heard.—l am, Sir, &c.,

THE COSTA RICA COMPANY.
TO J. S. BUCKINGHAM, ESQ.
Sir,—With reference to the letter of Alr. Montoya,
published in the daily journals, to which you have
drawn my attention, asserting that the port of Boca
del Toro is within the territories of New Granada, I
beg most distinctly to deny the accuracy of that
statement, and to affirm that not only the Boca del
Toro, but the whole of the Chirigui Lagoon also, is
within the limits of Costa Rica, as acknowledged by
the highest authorities—that the grant of the Boca
del Toro to the Costa Rica Company by the Legisd"
ture of that state is therefore perfectly legal and
authentic—and that the Costa Rica Governmen.tortjv
be fully prepared to justify its acts, and gire.,
its right to the ports in question.--I am, Sir,
E. WALLERSTEIT vies.
