Correspondence OF The Tribune.
WASHINGTON, Tuesday, Juiys
| am enabled at length to send you soms-
thing further with reference to diplomatic pr,.
ceeGlngS now IN progress. IN regard to affairs IN
Central America What have to communicate
may be regarded aS entirely reliable 1t refer,
more particularly 10 the difficulties between Eng
land and Nicaragua. and the continued English
occupation of Greytown or san Juan de Nlcara-
qua. Il seems now that Nicaragua Is the party
whom it j. most dificu, 10 please and her tenacious
adherence to what she appears to deem her rights
in the premises may defeat any plan Of general al
iustmcnt which might be hlt upon.
The English Government; II appears. Il ready 10
relnOulsh her peculiar relations with the MosluI
tians and surrender her control over Greytown But
the difficulty with her Is 10 whom shall be surrea
dered Certainly not to those lgnoran, Indians who
are incapable OF exercising any government ovN
that now important commercial town. II uncoati-
tlOnally surrendered 10 Nicaragua, she VIII have
control of the most important commercial port IN the
world. and OF the san Juan River. which is 10 Ne
part OF the great Canal and she can levy tribute To
any extent she pleaSes upon the whole commercial
world England thinks this Is running too much rlSx.
and she unwilling 10 surrender except upon SUCH
conditions aS Will make good the terms OF the Bu!-
and Clayton Treaty that the ports AZ the ter
mini of the proposed Canal shall be free ports, and
that the great channel should be free To all nations
upon the same terms OF, in other words upon such
conditions and guarantees will secure the CONNER
cla world from mposts and exactIoss upon COM
merce. Nicaragua claims san Juan by night OF ten
rltory Internationally. England As We know claim
ing the same territory for the MoSguluans. Ncara-
qua refuses To compromise the matter, and mus
stands the difficulty betw cen thesetwo Governments
There other territorial difficulties between Mica
ragua, Costa Rlca and the other States, which seem
not less difficult of adjustment
Upon these subjects. Sir HENRY BVLwE4 has al
dressed 10 this Government an earnest communca-
ton strongly setting forth the necessity of Its inter-
ference IN uniting 10 induce settlement OF these
difficulties. This diplomatic note Is able and com
prehonSye document, and Is seriously engaging the
attention of Mr.. WEBSTER.
The difficulty on the part of our Government Is rs
long settled policy OF nOn-ntericrencc with the do
mestlC affairs OF other Governments For this cause
It hesltateS.
The whole affair is an exceedingly knotty one, AMI
II would be difficult b give remote surmi>e ~ u
how Il Will terminate. II cannot be long, however.
before the Government concludes TO do something OF
nothing IN the premises, as Mr.. BULwER Is anxious
10 return TO England and Is only waiting the result
OF these negotiations. and Mr. WEBSTER II little
less anxious to snuflthe mountain breezes ot the
North.
Theroh has been much said OF late With reference
to an alleged fraudulent clam OF Or. GARDINER
| am convinced that the affair Is more IN the M
ture of a SPECULATION than fraud. but that II Is
claim that could not be resisted. The circumstance
that GARDINER was "a poor dentist IN Mexico II a
matter of small consequence He entered INTO part
nership upon the capital OF being shrewd enter
prISlng American with an eminent Mexican banker,
to gather the treasures OF silver NINE AT san LUIS
POtOsl
For Tins purpose the banker gave him an almost
unlimited letter of credit. and upon this most sub
stantal capital he proceeding Win his INNING
operations when he was probably fortunately dis
turbed by the tramp of armies
II was for the damage then and there sustained
that GARDINER brought his CLAIM of 81 100000.
Had the claim been founded IN an attempt at fraud
II is scarcely probable that those cautious and keen
fnanciers CORcORAN RIGGs would have advanced
to GARDINER S2r, 900 to enable HIM to go TO Mexico
TO obtain his evidence.
The story of GARDENERS having So largely shared
The proceeds with others is doubtless incorrect
CoRcoRAN & RIGGS got $l07 900. GARDINER got the
balance after paying his counsel reasonable fees
He doubtless finds this better than doubtful profits IN
working the San LUIS Potos mines MORE ANON
