INTERESTING FRom NIcARAGUA.-Captain C..
Ellery, formerly of steamer Orus, has arrived in
New York, from San Juan, April 10. The Sun
says:
He brings US the gratifying news of the entire
withdrawal of the British naval forces at San
Juan, the probable immediate abandonment OF the
ridiculous Mosquito peotectorate by the English,
and the surrender back to the Nicaraguan govern
ment of the port Of San Juan, and all the territory
over which the British have so long uDjustly held
sway. ~
The odious negro police was to be done away
with in six weeks, when, it reported, the entire
government ofthe place, and control of the terri
tory would be given up to the Nicaraguan govern
ment.
At San Carlos, the Nicaraguan authorities were
preparing detachment of soldiers and the proper
officers, to move down to San Juan as soon as the
English evacuate. As preparatory step towards
the withdrawal Of the present system Of city gov
eminent, mass meeting of all the inhabitants Of
San Juan was convened at the new English Gus
tom house on the 18th of April, to adopt proper
measures for the peaceful and quiet government of
the town as the English authority Withdrew. The
chief speaker at this meeting was Mr.. Martin, an
American, from New Orleans, and a lawyer by
profession. His address was received with great
applause. He proposed the formation of regular
city government on the plan of the American cities.
l was resolved that Mr.. Martin be appointed to
draft series of regulations to be adopted as fu-
ture meeting might direct The nomination of
Aldermen was then proceeded with, resulting in
the nomination of two Americans, two English
men, and one Frenchman.
Among the English and American residents
great satisfaction is manifested, as neither party
will assume control, that belonging to the Nicara-
guam Government.
This new turn of affairs has already began to
inspire confidence and activity among all classes.
Americans, well as foreigners, are beginning to
settle, and in short time San Juan, if the Eng.
lish stick to the treaty, will become place of i'm
portance and extensive business.
The new road from San Juan del Sud, on the
Pacific, to Point Nirgin, on Lake Nicaragua,
twelve miles, had been commenced The trees
had been feled and a mule-track opened. This is
the new route to be opened in June next, when
passengers from San Francisco will come down in
steamers to San Juan del Sud, thence by road to
Lake Nicaragua, thence across that splendid sheet
of water by steam to San Carlos, and thence down
the San Juan river ninety five miles to the port of
San Juan on this side, where the steamer will re-
ceive passengers for New York and New Orleans

the arrest of twentysix men, on suspicion of being
filibusters. 1t says:
The steamer Magnolia, Captain McNeIty, ar

We refrain from comment on this proceeding
IN the name OF the Government, as we learn thai

orderly manner, and that the authorities here have
not seen fit TO commit them"

graphic dispatch which was received some time
ago in New Orleans, announcing by mistake the
rejection Gnstead Of the rattfcation of the treaty
by our Senate, was forwarded to Mexico and the
Senate of that Republic based its vote on this erro
neous statement. AS soon as the truth was nown
the vote reconsidered, and the subject referred
to new committee, which has not yet reported.
