| Interests, their honor and their Integrity"
| The official documents concerning Mr. SQuier's
mission are published in the papers, but are merely
| formal, and only furnish evidence Of the extreme
interest felt in the mission. Il is easy to perceive
that the position taken by GreaD Britain in regard
! to the Mosquito question, and the anticipated ae-
| uon,of our Government upon it, have excited the
/ deepest Interest among the people of Nicaragua.
Inc papers discuss the question at length and pro-
test IN most earnest tones against the course pHr-
| sued by the English Government
The occupation Of the port of San Juan by the
| English, under the pretext of protecting the Mos
quito nation, Is denounced as an outrage upon the
/ rights ofthe State Of Nicaragua, and the English
1 are very freely branded as pirates, bandits and
corsairs. The papers abound in official proclama-
nations concerning the civil commOtOns etc
/ which have little interest here.
| The papers contain correspondence between.
| the authorities of Nicaragua and the British Con-
| sui General, Frederick Chaufied, in which the
former states that having read in the COtreo del
ISti90 copy OF the contract between the Govern
| ment and DR.. Brown, of New York, for making a
canal through the river San Juan, he deems it
prudent to inform the Government that his own
Government will offset TO any arrangement which
does not provide for the discharge of the debts
which the State of Nicaragua, in common with the
/ other States of Central America, have assumed.
The Nicaaguan Minister, in reply 10 this, as we'll
as other notes, charges the British Government
| with the most Wan,on and unprOvOked assault upon
the sovereignty and independence Of the State and
enumerates the various acts by which this hostility
has been manifested.
Foremost among them, of course, is the deGlara-
tion that the Quspa Of Great Britain has decided
to sustain the gretsasiOns of the Mosquito King.

A decree has been issued by the President,

An extra session of the Legislature had been con-
voked fer the 18th of September to discuss the fol-
lowing subjects :, lst.. The negotiations pending
withthe Government and commercial interests Of

foreign debts. 81. The hotter arrangement Of
