OUR NICARAGUA CORRESPONDENCE.
SAN JUAN DE NICARAGUA March ., 1853.
Things here are in a bad way, you have probably
heard earlier than you get this Ipim-To avoid pur-

squatted the opposite side Of the harbor from the
town. mile and half distant-n most disagreeabe

Of all the advantages Of passengers stoppng-as they
would not only be glad to do but all anxious to
do-to the great disgust Of the hotel keepers real
estate spectators, and the entire population Of San
Juan, who are anxious to have them.
To remove any ground Of refusal for coming to the
town. the corporation offered the Transit Company suf-
cent piece Of ground for the accommodation Of their
establishment; but with policy unaccountable to u.s.
described. The land which they occupy belonging
to the town. the corporation some time ago informed
them that they must vaeate it. As they refused,

NEW LINE OF STEAM COAMUNICATIOE ON TIE PA
CIFIC, BETWEEN THE CENTRAL AMERICAN REPUB-
Lies AND PANAMA.
Contracts have lately been concluded BY Captain
Thomas Wright, with the governments Of Central Amer
for the establishment Of the above ne to carry their
mails to and from Panama, commencing at the port Of
ktampam, in Guatemala, and touching at the inter
mediate Iorts Of Salvador Honduras, Nicaragua, and
Costa Rca The governments pay to the Captain bonus
Of from two hundred to two hundred and fifty Thousand
dollars during the term Of the contracts and give him
the exclusive privilege Of the coasng by for
ten years.
This project will entirely revolutionize the present mode
Of doing business in those republics thing that has
long been wished for by the merchants 1t will place the
United States in most favorable position to derive the
greatest advantages from this trade Every merchant Of
the United States is therefore, deeply interested in this
enterprise as it will enable them TO compete with the
English merchants in the expectation Of our own ma
nufactures to those countries We have heretofore been
excluded from this lucrative trade which has long
been monopoZed by European merchants. But now the
great difficulty will soon be removed by the steamers
running regularly on that coast. Goods then be
shipped either BY the way of San Juan do Nicaragua
the Isthmus Of Panama. and reach their destination
in any port Of Central America twenty days from the
time !, they leave New York whereas at the present
arrive And ALSO instead Of the indigo and cochineal
being shipped to Europe by the way Of Belize Honduras
it will come by this line to the United States The quick
est time that indigo and cochinea have been known
rive in Europe from the day they left the city of Guae
Salvador has 3O days and by this route it
be to England in forty days the farthest.
The merchants of Central America will come to
the United states TO purchase their goods instead Of
time and can buy fully as cheap. Thus this scheme
opens fields OF commerce and enterprise to Cen
countries in the world and only requires the energy and
enterprise Of the Anglo Saxon race to deyeope their great
There is also another grand point gained It cuts the
English off from monopolising the North Pacific coast
trade they have done the South and the Monroe
doctrine is becoming it appears the order of the day.
this is grand step towards its fulflment We believe
this is the first American who has obtained the priv
lege Of the coasng trade by steam in foreign country
The Captain has given to this line the name Of the
Central American Steam Navigation Company, and the
first steamer will begin to run on the first OF September
next.
Captain Wright il the of the we'll known Capt. John
Wright one Of the Oldest and most successful steam
ship captains ahoat II is surnsed that the old gentle
man is also connected with this enterprise.
TELEG RAPHIC.
New ORLEANS, March IL, 1853.
Private letters from San Juan Nicaragua dated 9th in
