Above We have given the official documents from
Honduras consisting Of two proclsmations explanatory
of the acts perpetrsed by the British In violation Of
the rights Of the republican people Of Honduras 1t
will be clear enough to the reader by the psrusal Of
these proclamations that the only ostsnsibe put
forward by the British for acts Of such wanton and
justifsble aggression, certain pretended claims
of certain individuals made upon the government
The same has been pursued towards the State
Of San Salvador Is towards that Of Honduras, and
claims have been hatchsd up against San Salvador in
order to seize that country also The following
reply to the British Consul, by the President Of
Salvador In to his omplaints will help show
the voty and injustice Of the claims set up against
Saivsdor IL Is letter written BY order OF the Pre-
follows -
ST. SALVADOR, Oct. 81, IS49.
Ma. Consul GENERAL HER BRITANNIA MAJESTY
ESR,-Your official Communication, with the accom-
panying document upon the claims Of British subjects
stance planning follows-Frst that not only the
Of San Salvador has answered of the
letters it on this behalf but has also de-
clsred to Sr dgoras that 1t would not recognize
pay any of the claims which have been part already
recognized ana paid by the delivery Of tobacco in the
port Of the Union. Secondly that in the same maui
the effects belonging to British SUBJECTS ille-
gay taken from the house Of Espsda and Pilons and
vader evaded the claim by saying 1t would make en-
quiries The subject though il Is than four
years age since the matter was brought to its notice.
and you add that the time Is to put an end
to this system Of evasions and delays. Lastly, you
say that an injury has been done to Sr dgora the
imprisonment he has suffered without true and legal
cause, and that sufficient repsration is required.
Mr.; Consul. the government Of Salvador has con.
and uninterrupted claims you have made. 1t has
always manifested the best desire to arrange all the
complaints you made In the name OF British subjects,
at different periods at any time 1t has not instantly
replied to you you desired 1t has been either owing
to the want Of sufficient grounds for because
the Importance Of the matter required longer debera
ton Thus IL IL that in this respect YOU Sir are en-
tirely without cause fer your assertions.
ed to you has said that the Prerent of the state has
refused to recognize to pay claims already recognized
he has told notable untruth for the President knows
cannot draw back without the consent of the other
party Besides you SIR, have received in the Union
the full value OF rs 600 dollar in tobacco payment
In full Of this demand Therefore, the President has
had cause TO be greatly surprised that matter
terminated by means OF arrangements made should be
Reproduced.
AS to the acknowledgment and payment, which you
pretend TO have been made, of the credit for goods
taken from the house Of Erpada and Fiona have the
honor to refer you to the opinion Of four gentlemen of
the law already given, upon this subject which viii
give you all the Information you can require.
o
supreme government Of the State has received
ST. ldgoras as the official agent of Her Britannia Ma
jesty exercising the right all nations to receive
not to receive foreign agents they think proper
Salvador and Central America have never bound them
selves TO receive, rs British Agents those whom the
British government may please to designate such,
and impose upon us.
The document then proceeds to explain the matter
Of the imprisonment Of ldisoras, showing that he s
native and subject OF the country and was legally tried
and convicted OF a criminal offence and Justly
fenced to i'm prisonment
Besides, my government thinks with some reason,
that even II Idigorss British subject aud had
any claims against any In this country-snd II he
had been condemned by the courts Of the country
justly and If he had been punished deservedy for
great offence committed-ev even then in such case
II is not you sir the British Consul who legally
titled to insist upon receiving such indemnities be
might claim.
As you cir state in your note that II these matters
not arranged on the terms you require you will
of the State the government OF Salvador formally pro-
tests upon the spot that II this DONE the neglect to
december
ts fault since the ngress into the ports Of the Union
win thus be prevented
These are the terms in which the President Of the
State has desired to reply to you sir and to assure
you Mr. Consul Of the high consideration and respect
with which, &C., RAFAEL rINo.
