The Correo proceeds 10 comment on this declaration,
saying that the English government determined pos
this territory and at the same time takes advantage
OF the weakness and domestic dssensions OF the State Of
Nicarsgua while the English journals publish the most

represent that the State not organized society but
permanent anarchy. u complains also that their repre-
sentative In London should be treated with contempt,
