LEON BIZ NICARAGUA, Oct, IL, lS49.
Highly Important from, Honduras Treaty bettoeen
the United States and Honduras Cession of IT.
gre Iawd-DeHgms Of the British Frustrated.
Having recently become acquainted with certain
movements of an important character having been
going on for some time past, in which the United
States are deeply interested, laval myself of an
opportunity which presents itself to make you ac-
quainted with them.
Mr.. Squier, the United States Charge to the
Central American Republics, having received mfor-
nation of the intention OF the English to seize the
Island of Tgre, belonging to Honduras, and COM
handing the entire Pacific coast, negotiated a
treaty with Honduras, the terms of which have not
TRANSFERRED but it is inferred from the following Cir
cular addressed to the various foreign legations
and other officials in Central America, that the
United States have received important concessions
from Honduras
LEGATION THE United SrArEs,)

Leon de Nicaragua, Sept 25, lSA9
have the honor to inform you that the island of
Tipr- in the Gulf Of tonfecs has been csded TO the
United States Of North america by tho Republic OF
Honduras for the time pending constitutional action
upon existing convention between the two repub-
lies and That accordingly speedy possession viii DO
taken Of the same upon behalf ot the United States
The existing port other regulations Of the island
will be continued until otherwise OF d-red.
have also the honor to add, that the United States
has interests IN the issods aud coasts
Of Honduras which will not permit her TO look with in
difference upon any measures which shall affect the
press mt order OF thinrs in that quarter.
am sir, with high consideration your obsd't servt
tSignedI GEO SQUIER.
Two British vessels are daily expected on the
coast, with the object If seizing the above island,
but they Will probably find il a bootiess Grand.
1 understsnd that the State Of Costa Rlca, the
government of which has been entirely under Bri-
tish influence, liz in state Of great excitement, in
consequence of the proposed cesslon OF large por-
tion Of It's territories to the English An arrange
m.Dt to that effect is said To have been made by its
minister IN England. and there il little doubt Of the
facts. IL IL supposed this measure will result In
revolution In that hitherto comparatively quiet
State. Indeed, rumoIs that such revolution had
already taken place, were current on the coast IL
is aiso understood that n very earnest correspoa-
dcI ce has been opened by our minister with the
government Of Costa Rca, on the subject, which
will probably come out upon the opening OF
Congress.
hear, also, that the same minister has sent to
he eovernme nj detailed memoir upon the prac-
Icabiliiy OF the proposed canal; which will also
robsbly be placed before Congress. MGEron.

Grand total Of increase Of salaries and Of Offices
IN the city Of New York, from May H. 1S47, to
Nov ~. lSaQ. <a3 81

Nov IL, 1870. .................. .$33,55s
Here the facts, plain figures can make
them, and they show conclusively that between
May, 1877, and November, 1919, the increase Of
salaries and the salaries Of new Offices created,
have been the enormous sum of s33,55s, (thirty-
three thousand five hundred and ff,y-eigh dollars)
Tins is the way ia which the peoples money is
pended; and If has been wasted in other respects
NE it has been this, we have Mt once the reason
for the increase Of our taxes to the amount Of three
million three hundred thousand dollars. But who
cares 2-it lie osly the public who suffer, and the
public have endorsed all this extravaganza by re-
electing the same rarty Since they have received
a certificate OF good character, we recommend
them to 20 ahead, and swell the taxes for the next
year four millions, and the city debt to twenty.

ported to be q statement, showing the Increase in

time past but it was very imperfect, and did not
contain half Of hat ought to have been Ia

Thus 1t will be seen, that we make the increase
of salaries from May sth, lS4S, to November 18th,
lsf9 much greater than il appears IN the report OF
the Comptroller, the difference being the snug little
sum of 1876. 1t appears, then, that the increase
for that period has been g. 92, instead of $3906
But we have gone little farther than this.
While we were engaged in the work, we thought
might well ascertain the increase OF salaries
and Offices for the previous year, VIZ: from

The Portuguese Exiles,

MEssRs. EDIro gs.--You readers NAV have seen
occasional notices in religious and others papers of
ms unfortunate band of one thousand citizens of
Madeira, who have fled, first TO the West Indies.
and then TO our country, from the persecution of
bigoted and lnolerant colonial government in Ma
deria' during the last five or six years. On Mon
day night, large assembly of our citizens listened
10 very clear and interesting history of this mel
anchOly blot on The age in which we live. We
conid not have believed that such fend like spirit
was sui TO be found in any part of the civilized
world, at The present day, as that exhibited by the
civil and ecclesiastical authorities Of this Island
