to Costa Rica. Heasays these parties are obViouslyact-
ing in concert for the purposes of spoliation, and that
Costa Rica " has the greater cause to fear because, as it
has cautiously abstained from such appeals to the Go-
vernment and people of the United States as have been
made by some of the republics of Central America, it
has been regarded with more or less hostile feeling by
the United States, and has been accused of being par-
tially disposed towards the Government and interest of
Great Britain." He states' that Costa Rica. in it; moun-
tain fastnesses, can repel any invader, but that "its sea-
coast is exposed to marauding expeditions, which may
at any time be expected, and to which it can oppose no
adequate naval resistance," He urges that such a band
of lawless adventurers as that led by Walker, "acting
under no government, and under no recognised flag,
having no character to sustain, seeking no other pretext
for an attack than the defenceless state of the object of it,"
is the enemy of all nations, becauee its violence is op-
posed to every principle of public law. He therefore
makes an earnest appeal to the British Government
to adopt effectual measures for the protection of youth-
ful and comparatively weak countries against tole in-
tolerable system of aggression. He reminds Lord Cla-
rendon that the 'port of Punta Arenas contains much
British, merchandise and shipping, and that Costa Rica
was connected with Britain by a treaty of commerce in
1849. A week later, on the 29th December last,
this letter is followed by the consul presenting
to Lord Clarendon a letter of equal length, rind of
the same purport, dated San Jose, November 8,
from Don J. B. Calvo, the Minister of Foreign Af•
fairs of Costa Rica. He describes, in very declamatory
language. the outrages of General Walker's " band
of freebooters," and the terror which they have spread ;
he states that the President of Costa Rica, though con-
fident of its internal defence, has great fears for the
town and harbour of Punta, Arenas, and he only asks
that a single English or French ship of war may be sta•
tioned there to prevent any filibustering attack. He ex-
presses the willingness of Costa Rica to make a grateful
return for that service, at whatever sacrifices in ite re-
venues or commercial relations. A similar letter to this
was at the same time addres4ed by Costa Rica to the
Emperor of the French. On the 12th of January Mr.
Wallerstein writes to the Earl of Clarendon, having had
an interview with him in the meantime ; he dwells much
on the increasing trade and internal improvement of
Costa Rica, as mainly effected by British capital, and
solicited the aid of a British ship of war to protect it,
while he also asks our sympathy for the people of Costa
Rica. On the 22d January Mr. Hammond replies from
the Foreign-office, " that instructions will be given to
the admiral on the Pacific station to cause the cost of
Costa Rica to be visited by her Majesty's cruisers, for
the protection of British interests." On the 4th of Feb.
Mr. Wallerstein expresses his hope " that the interests
of Costa Rica will he included in this protection ;" and
he informed Lord Clarendon that the filibusters "have
; been in effect, if net ostensibly, aided by a ship of war
of the United States in the port of Greytown, and that
they are, therefore, directly or indirectly, countenanced
in the territOty of Nicaragua by the United States Go-
vernment." We find no reply to this letter. The remain-
der of the correspondence is about a reqaest made in
January to be allowed to purchase two bras mortars at
Woolwich for Guatemala, and 2,000 muskets for Costa
Rica. This the British Governeient consented to, but
a note appended to this paper states that neither of
these articles havo yet been issued from her Majesty's
- tyres.

THE NICARAGUA CORRESPONDENCE.

The Washington, Union, contains the corresponlil
dance accompanying the President's recent message
announcing his recognition of Padre Vigil as Mi-
nister from the Republic of Nicaragua. The latest
and most interesting documents of the series are
here subjoined. The letter of Padre Vigil, says
the Union, " not only shows that the Rivas' ad-
ministration is the Government de facto, but that
it is acquiesced in by the native citizens of Nicara-
gua. These facts being true, the recognition of
the accredited Minister of that Government could
not be refused upon any principle known to our
practice on such questions."
