In our late articles upon the Nicaragua question we
think we have produced sufficient testimony to satisfy
every candid mind Of the utter goundlessness and mpu-
dsncs OF the petsnsons put forth by the British
men TO the control Of that portion OF the coast Of the
Caribbean sea called the Mosquito Shore extending
from the northern point Of Honduras down 90 far as to
include the mouths Of the river San Inan the outlet Of
Lake Nicaragua thus covering one Of the teini of the
contemplated shipcana connecting the Atlantic and Pa
c6c oceans. These prstensons Of the British govern
nent were masked under the pretended proiectorate
which it had assumed over the Mosquito Indians-a
handful Of degraded and beasy savages who never had
government nor independence Of any SORT since the
Spaniards discovered and conquered that country The
base trickey and srsnt deception BY which the British
government attempted to gel possession and real
eighty over that portion Of Central America would as
we have once before remarked if pepetated by private
individual upon the property and rights Of Others have
sent the psrpsator Botany Bay il convicted Of the
offence under the laws Of England Where, then, were
the rights Of Great Britain 10 the possession and control
Of any portion Of that country and where her right
to nteriers with any arrangement between the United
States and Nicaragua respecting the shipcanal' and
how hss she bee party to treaty respecting that
great enterprise
In our former articles. we have shown how this most

brought about 1t has been accomplished through the
insumenaty Of the pretensions Of the latter, set up

prem invGfion Of The Taylor cabinet extended 10 the Brat

modes BY which Great Britain has become party to the
negotiations respecting the great interoceanic commune

those negotiations have been completed and treaty has
been made by Mr.. Clayton and Sir Henry Buwer.

that treaty awaits the appreciation Of the Senate in

tons
Thus We now have three treaties which have been
negotiated with reference to the great enterprise Of
shpeanal across the State Of Nicaragua, viz the treaty
I,
the treaty negotiated with Nicaragua by Mr. Squier and
the treaty negotiated with Nicaragua by Mr.. Hise. The
spulaions Of all these treaties have become known
more or less imperecy. to the public Assuming that to
be correct which has been made known of these three
several treaties proceed to consider briefly the
nature Of their respective stpulatons and their probable
consequences and results. We begin with the last

appears that the principal spulaiions of this treaty arc
as follows. viz:
Great Britain is permitted to become equally interest

enjoyment Of the proposed canal.

quish her sovereignty over the Mosquito coast
3. To renquish her protectoraie over the Mosquito
King.
To renqush all her possessory right over that coast
And, finally, to relnquish all right to establish forts
and garrisons in that country.
Thus, without relinqushng single right or position
to which she had any just claim Great Britain becomes

that great American enterprise, which is more important
to this country than the whole world besides Such is
the character OF the Clayton treaty. far as It's terms
and stipulaions have been divuged M
We now come to the Squier treaty. The terms and
stpulatons OF this reay-or what are said to be its
tsrms-have also come TO light and they amount simply
70 this ~ we understand them: After it had become
pretty certain that communication between the two
oceans, by means OF a shp.cana would in no long pc.

to Nicaragua and procured charter from that govern
