unwarraniable hosxes. First, letter ap'
peared in the Boston Cell, edited by re
spectacle man, Mr.. MCGEE. purporting to
he an intercepted dispatch from Sir Henry
Bulwer TO Lord Palmerston. There was
nothing in it either witty or ingenious, but
still some persons were duped by it. The
Philadelphia american has also, IN letter,
represented Sir Henry Bulwer as having
interferred with the proceedings Of the
Senate and having influenced that body,
by means not stated. 10 lay the Squier
Nicaragua treaty on the table. or course
that is all stuff. We have appointed a
Minister to Nicaragua and that State has
sent Minister, and either there or here a
suitable treaty is to be made.
We shall soon have an account of the

himself by one Of his very popular. liberal.
