The MosoUITo KING.-The farce which has
been SO long rehearsed by Great Britain in relation
to his Zambo majesty seems too broad to be relished
even by Englishmen. The Jamaica papers have
not failed to point out many errors in the capitula-
tons of the various documents. Not the least of
these are the following: The King never had the
slightest title to the territory ceded If he had, he
received no equivalent therefor, either be6Re or
after the cession. If he had title and received
an equivalent, he was incapable Of acting, being
at the date of the treaty of immature age. The
facts of the case are, that the King of the Mosquito
Coast was chief of band of savages within Mica
Tagua, and about as competent to cede a territory
as the king of band of gpsies at Lands End
would be to make title to an English county, OF
Apiaka to convey Florida TO foreign power.

The Texas Ranger has commenced publishing the
confessions of the negro thieves and robbers lately
arrested in Washington county. The confession
of A. J. Grigg says that " he sent Mercer Hill's
negro to Galveston, by Orland Sap and Lewis
Boren, to be delivered to Mr.. Agery, one of the
prime movers in the clan Agery was to nav 5000
in good money $500 in spurious for the delivery
of each negro. Agery had rented the Star Hotel
in Galveston, and Bill Short was to be proprietor
The clan had mint for coming money, on the
Rio Grande river, above Brownsville the money
to be conveyed TO Galveston and deposited at the
Star HOTEL where any of the clan were to get it at
fifty cents on the dollar, in good money. There is
forty cents of good coin in each dollar; it is ex-
tEemey difficult to detect it be also states when
it is mixed with good gold the difference cannot be

of all, and took hand in all kinds of vllany that
was common to the clan, though he was opposed
to stealing negroes, from the fact that they could

man. Ara Harris, poor fellow, was smarter than
all of us handled counterfeit money all his life,

NEW MEXICO. Ell Monitor Republican, calls
on the Government to facilitate the removal of fam
lies wishing to emigrate from New Mexico into
the Mexican territory. It taunts Herrera and his
friends with rgdy enforcing all parts of the treaty
favorable to the United States, and with being in
disposed to insist on the articles avorng the Mexi-
cans. The Government, it observes, has been very
anxious to receive the price paid for the New Mex
leans; but it is very backward in giving them the
protection which the treaty allows to be extended
to them.
MEXICAN oATHs. - Ell Monitor advocates the
abolition of all oaths in courts of justice 1t says
that perjury is common event both in the civil
and criminal suits of Mexico, and argues that as
oaths have not answered the purpose for which they
were intended, therefore they are a vain and idle
ceremony.
INDIANS IN DURANGo.-In virtue Of the decree

vice. The Governor also announces that persons
can have arms to defend themselves from the saw
ages at the rate Of two dollars per gun
AMERICANS IN THE MEXICAN ARMY.-The
Mexican Government has determined not to admit
into the army any individuals who have deserted
from the American army since the treaty Of peace.
Those which have been already enlisted are to be
dismissed from the service.
