in greater indignity than before, and
,heiv illusions 10 this treaty received with
sneers and contempt.
One of the members of the Nicaragua
government writing to a gentleman Of this
City, under date of September -, says as
follows;
"you viii perceive from the enclosed letter
from Mr. Chatfeld, published below that Great
Britain puts an entirely different construction up
en- the Clayton and Bulwer treaty from that
Of the press an, the public IN the United
States, and so fir from yielding anything to
it's provisions, the British agents were never be-
fore 60 arrogant and exacting Our people are
much excited in Consequence, and we are placed
IN most embarrassing situation. # the treaty
seans any thing It seems to us that 1t s the duty
sf vour government TO ask immediate explana-
zion Of Great Britain. For if we are to be left to
.ake care Of ourselves as we best can, We wish to
Know it.
1--WE have been solicited to send Minister to
Washington, with a view to act in concert, with
the agents of the two Governments that OF the
U. g. and g. b. and notwithstanding ourpoyerty,
we shall make an efEor: to do so. II is very GER
tain nothing can be done here with public officer
Of so yindctiiye and uncourteous character as MI
Chatfeld, and we are anxious to have an en-
bghtened and moderate man the agent Of the
British government Much trouble would lie
saved If one OF this character were accredited
here.
THE National Representatives OF the three
States Of San Salvador, Honduras and Nicaragua
wall soon meet in Chinendaga. The requisite
buildings are nearly ready lneed not tell you
that the British agents in Guatemala and Costa
RIGA are exerting Themselves to the utmost to
ereyent the union. Chatfeld and Flores seem
furious at the prospect but the thing past their
Influence I send you some singular documents
emanating from these persons, directed to this
end"
The letter Of Chatfcld, adverted TO
above, is subjoincl 1t will be observed
that the cue given by Lord Palmerston and
Hr. Bulwer, is faithfully followed by their
subordinates.
GUATEMALA Wednesday, Aug Il, 1850.
TO Tho Minis.er Of Foreign Relation, Of Nicaragua
sIR,-Mr Foster, H. B. Ms Vice Consul at
Realeio has informed me of the steps which be has
taken in consequence of the losses OF Mr.. Beschcr
4 Co., in Grenada, by act OF public violence, ana
for the recovery of debt contracted by the GOV
eminent of Nicaragua for the Of his boats. In
the answer given byyou to MIR. Foster, OF the date
of the Goth OF July, observe some expressions
relative to the Mosquito coast and its authorities,
which induces me to think that your Government
does not yet understand the true position oil the
Mosquito question, and to submit some remarks
ppon it. | do not care to notice the discourteous
expressons and evil disposition which the Gov
eminent of Nicaragua uses and evInces IN speak
ing of Great Britain and its agents, in referring to
the MOSQUITO question, being disposed to ascrIbelt
90 their inexpericnce and bad councils but this
does not preclude me from recommending TO you
that your interests will be better promoted by
treating this question Independently OF the false
accounts and exaggerations otmterested persons.
Instead Of insisting on It's supposed rights to the
Mosquito shore, Nicaragua would best consult
her interests by at once making good terms Win
England, for resistance in this matter will be oil
no further avail 1t is impossible that Nicaragua
should be ignorant of Her Brlttanio Majesty re-
lation to the Mosquito question: as 1t has before
it the letter of Nicount Pamerston, OF the date OF
the 18th of April last in which he declares IN the
most clear and direct TERMS the utter lmposslDlty
of accedng to the prctenslons OF Nicaragua on
the other hand the treaty OF Messrs. clayton ana
Bulwer, about which you have so much to say,
and in which YOU express so much confidence, e.
presIy recognises tie lioSqHtto Kingdom, and
aside tic rights chieh gen pretend Nfcar0g@a
haS on that coast The true policy for Nicara.
qua is to undeceive herself in this respect, and
to put no further confidence in the protes
tations or assurances of pretended friends
1t will be far better for her to come to an under
standing without delay with Great Britain, on
which nation depends not only the welfare and
commerce Of the State but also the probability
of accomplishing anything positive concerning in
teroceanic communication through her territories
Icomplimentary to the Canal Company, this be-
cause it is only in London that the necessary
capital for such an enterprise can be found
In conclusion | have only to repeat what have
said so many times that the British Government
is animated by the best wishes toward Nicaragua,
and ia anxious that it shall acquire respectable
position among nations.
Jhave, sc &c. sc. FREDERICK CHATFlELD.
