SAN JUAN DEL NoRrE, April Is, 1872

dienant at the disposition manifested by Mr. Webster In
negotiating settlement of the Central American dii
6cutes stated in your editorial OF the 9th ult Why
should Nicaragua be Obliged to indemnify his Majesty OF
Mosquito for the surrender of this porif BY what law
of right or justice does Mr. Webster presume to torn
coalition with Messrs. Champion and MoNni Ia or
der to squeeze from Nicaragua her last drop OF VI
taityf Nicaraguas causes OF complaint against ute'
Britain are many and eat and should be ashtncd Oh
INV country if she should become party % so INDUSTRIOUS
an outrage upon State already paralyzed oy ia'srhu
revolutions originally excited and still klnied 0y tue

rem although from its seacoast, bays, hsroors &c,
valuable section of country is about neing wreed from
the latter power and iepoited safely and securely ino
the hands of the former Ia it evenhanded justice that
the province Guanacaste shouli be placed under the
state sovereignty of Costa RIGA without Nicarasuss
being permitted 10 make even so mucn az pIotuSs
against it, and for other reason than that senior

via the Rivers San Juan and Serapagni across TINS
seme province of GuanGcaste, to the large ana
magnificent Bay of Salnes; which project mas
met the appreciation OF British capitalists an

for these negoators to have waited until senior Mario

The election under the new uilon, recently
adopted by the people of this town, took place on the
18th inst and such exempllhcaon Of tree suffrage
was never before witnessed on this globe BY that Con
stituon all men, from the baboon.aced Jamaica negro
