THE AFFAIRS OF CENTRAt

The correspondence whiekhas passed since December,
1854, between our Government, and the late Mr. Wal-
lerstein, the consul-general here for Guatemala and Costa
Rica, has just been laid before Parliament. The earliest
letter is one of the 9th December, 1854, in which be

asks to be allowed to purchase two brass howitzers for
the republic of Guatemala, encouraged to do so, he says,
by the courtesy and ready attention he had received on
a previous occasion., in a similar application on behalf
of Costa Rica. The reply: is that her Majesty's
Government have no objection. This was at the end
of 1854. A clear twelvenionth afterwards—on the
22d December, 1855—there is a long letter from Mr.
Walleretein to the Earl of Clarendon, in which he ex-
plains the position of affairs in Central America, and
the urgent need of British intervention to protect the
republic of Costa Rica against the aggressions of a band
of "foreigners by birth, habits, and feelings, evidently
actuated by projects of plunder, headed by a citizen of
the United States of the name of—Walker, who had just
been repulsed in a daring filibustering attempt on the
Mexican province of Sonora." He observes that, looking
at the important position of the Central American
isthmus between the two ocean!, Great Britain, with
her vast and distant possessions in the Pacific, must be
interested perhaps more than any other state in up-
holding the integrity of the states of Central America,
the importance of which to her must be little, if at all,
inferior to that of Turkey, in a political as well as a
commercial view. He then says:—"The British Go-
vernment appears, indeed, to have been always alive to
any. attempt of any foreign Power to subvert the lade-
pendencc of the Sande. ich Islands ; while it la ain-
tained and guarded with care its small settle e. • t of
Belize ; thus testifying that it looks beyond the mere
requirements of the hour. The treaty concluded be-
tween Great Britain and the United States in 1851 con-
tains a further proof of this foresight and intelligence.
That treaty was hailed by the states of Central America,
and by no one of them more than by Costa Rica, as a
security for their independence, and an encouragement
for that peaceful industry which they had begun to cul-
tivate. The state of Nicaragua alone, which had been
long disturbed by foreign counsels and intestine strm -
glee, formed a sad exception in this respect ; but it has
already discovered its mistaken policy, and is now pay-
ing for it ; its dissensions have had the misfortune to
introduce into the country a band of adventurers, who
have naurped the power and authority of the Govern-
ment of that republic." He then asserts that Walker s
band "are, bona fide, now all that exiete of a Govern-
ment of Nicaragua; and it is greatly to be appre-
hended that the consequence of this usurpation
of the government of Nicaragua will be that
questions of territory which have been in dispute be-
tween Costa Rica and Nicaragua will be again revived
and hostilely pureued in order to follow the designs of
this band. The possession of one of the Central Ameri-
can states by these adventurers will therefore, in all pro-
bability, be epee Ny followed by an aggreeedon upon
another of them." He refers to the proceedings of Kin-
ney at St. Juan del Norte or Greyiown, and his pre-
tended claim to an extensive tract, of country belougieg
