Costa Rica has tor some time bees at enmity
with Nicaragua. President Castro conducted the
affairs OF Costa Rica IN subserylence to the policy
OF Great Britain, and threw difficulties IN the way
OF the great work Of the inter-ocean canal. When
President Mosa succeeded Castro, we hoped for a
better policy, but we perceive with sorrow, that
the new President has ratified treaty for inter-
oceanic canslization by Zarapiqui. As this is a
direct attack upon the rights and dignity Of Nica-
rsgua, on Its commerce., aud the engagements il
has solemnly contracted with the United States OF
Amenca, the following diplomatic protests have
been made on this subject.
