It seems that very curious diplomatic letter has ialen into the hands of the editor of the x. York Herald. IL was written by Sir Henry Lytton But wer. tho English Minister at Washington to Mir. ChatisId, tho British Charge to Central America. It will most likely raise sort of rumpus between the Minister and Secretary of State. It contsins instructions with regard to the negotiations with Nicaragua and Porto Rico. In reference to the pre- sent government of the United States. he says:
 It is, however, a weak government, and. being suspected by the popular party, is ever afraid oi seeming in favor of any policy that is unpopular Thus. though its intentions may be trusted, ils course canuot be relied upon"
