THE LATE EXPEDITION TO THE LAKE OF
NICARAGUA.

Some of our readers are no doubt aware that, in cense-
qnence of an aggression committed by officers of the state
of Nicaragua upon English agents stationed in the Mos-
quito country, an expedition was sent in boats up the
river of Nicaragua (which empties itself into the Carrihean
Sea,) and penetrated to the gycat lake of Nicaragua, which
lies but a few miles from the Pacific, where Captain Loch,
who commanded, succeeding in exacting reparation for the
outrage. The whole of the despatches connected with
this expedition,—which has been the means of conferring
distinction on the young officers employed on it, namely,
the red ribbon on Captain G. Loch, and the rank of post-
captain on Commanders Ryder and Peel,—never having
been published, the following account may be interesting
to some of our readers ; it is an extract from a private
letter not intended for publication :
" At sea, between St. Juan de Nicaragua and Jamaica,
"March 15, 1818.
" We sailed from St. Juan yesterday, in tow of H.M.
steamer Vixen, leaving the Daring, Captain Peel, to exe-
' cute some arrangements, and then to proceed to Blewfields
with despatches, while we go on to Jamaica.
" The combined force under Captain Loch's command
was brought down the river, from the lake of Nicaragua,
the day before yesterday, a treaty having been executed
with the government of the state of l'-;icaragua, in which
the demands we were sent to enforce are secured. The
service has been very severe ; for thirty five days we have
never slept out of the boats, not oven when we were in
possession of the forts and islands in the lake, and rang-
ing a distance of fifty miles every second day, to supply
provisions for 200 men. Fortunately, the weather was
considered fine, although it rained four days of the seven,
—not common rain, but tropical pelts, which an umbrella
could not resist. This had, fortunately, in some measure,
been provided for, by clothing all the men (soldiers,
sailors, and marines) in flannel frocks and trousers, and
having had rain coverings fitted to all the boats.
" What a magnificent fresh-water sea the lake of Nica-
ragua is ! Volcanic islands rising to the height of 7,000

Granada is situated at the foot of the mountain of Mon-.
bock, a quarter of a mile from the river, and, with the ex-
ception of the cathedral spires, shut out from view by a
thick wood.
" Captain Loch, accompanied by Captains Ryder and
Peel, and five officers, met the three commissioners on a
small island called Cuba, about half a mile from Granada.
Three days were consumed by these slow coaches in
coming to the sticking point of signing, which, however,
they at last, did,• on Captain Loch's threatening to leave
them, and break off every communication. All the
officers,,The)had went on shore,

in houses, and in the square. However, we had six and
twelve-pound rockets, besides howitzers, that would, I
doubt not, have given us possession of the angle of the
Square; and then it was intended to have driven them
from house to house at the point of the bayonet. How-
ever, all's well that ends well; and it is better as it is.
" I am writing hard to save the packet, which the Vixen
is to try and cut off as soon as the captain's despatchesare
closed."

Captain Loch is the son of Mr. Loch, M.P., Captain
Ryder is son of the late Bishop of Lichfield, a cousin of
Lord Landon, and brother-in-law of Lord Grey; and
Captain Peel is second son of Sir Robert Peel.
The computed distance from Port St. Juan to the castle
of San Carlos, at the entrance of the lake of Nicaragua, is
101 miles, and about IUO miles from San Carlos to the citr
of Granada.

The barge which took Captain Loch's message to the
supreme director, traversed 1,010 miles of lake water.
Captain Loch was in her for 720 miles.
