Norte, or Greytown, under popular cleo
What the British government would
consider good and final arrangement
would be-
First-That San Juan del Norte. OIL
Greytown. should be free and indepen.
dent port, connected with Mosquito By
such relations of friendship and alliance
! as may be agreed upon.
Secondly-That the indemnification or
advantages equivalent to those laid down
in the project of convention OF the thir-
teenth of April, 1852, should be assured
to Mosquito in return for its withdrawal
from its present position in reference to
San Juan Del Norte.
Thirdly-That the United States and
Great Britain, without formally guarantee
ing San Juan del Norte, should be ready
to act in concert to defend the indepen-
dence ofthe free city or port in whatever
quarter it may be attacked. The British
Government deem it essential that the CT
ty and port of San Juan del Nortc. or
Greytown, should be established either
in state of unqualified independence,
with an engagement to defend Mosquito,
or of qualified independ ence, owing ale
glance and support to Mosquito.
In lieu of an indemnity in money to
Mosquito for relinquishing her claims to
San Juan del Norte, it is suggested by the
British government that greater security
for certain fixed territory should be the
consideration for that object.
For these purposes they propose to dis
patch some person qualified to treat with
the authorizes of this city and. in case
the United States concur in these views,
the British Government would recon-
mend that new convention in the place
of the unaccepted agreement of the 18th
of April. 1852, should be proposed and
concluded, and that person well qualii-
ed for the puspose, should be sent by this
Government, to act conformity with the
commissioner of Her Britanic Majesty.
The British Government is not una
ware of the difficulties arising from the
fact. that certain neighboring states deny
altogether the independence of Mosquito;
and that the Mosquito tribe ofIndians are
liable every day to new incnrsions upon
their territory. They do not expect to
make complete provision against this
danger they consider it their duty to do
what is required by honor and humanity
IN behalf of the Mosquito nation. decla-
ring at the same time that they intend to
adhere strictly to the treaty OF Washing
ton, of the nineteenth of April. 1850, and
not to assume any sovereignty, direct, or
indirect in Central America.

is a duty it owes to itself that it should

Graham,s Magazine.

Graham for the month of March, came
in real March weather. 1t is beautiful tc
look at, and still better to read.
There is one article in it, at page 500
which is worth more than the whole Ma
gazine for year. 1t is his just castiga'
ton of the Editor of the Hartford Repub-
lican.' Mrs. Swisshelm, and the whole
batch of fanatics, who have come down
upon hilmike thousand of brick, because
he saysMrs. Stoves "Uncle Toms Ca
bin" was a =" bad book" and that it gave
an unfair and untrue picture of Southern
life. That it was "6adly constructed, bad,
ly timed, and made up for bad purpose. u
And further, ''The work is mere distor-
ton of facts-a stupendous lie-and
| therefore we cannot admit its merits and
Join its mob of admirers
In speaking of Mrs. Swisshelm he uses
the following language Mrs. Swiss
helm knows as well, ay. better than we
can tell her, that the strong money ma

slavery side. Yet we should seorn our

question of dollars could affect us
in the independent discussion of

discussion is to be drowned by the cry
of, "stop your periodical and die IN the

Another agitator tells him that he
should not have published it Gin the edi-
ton intended for Northern circulation. -
He replies, that, "the conception of such
treachery should entitle the man. whose
property it is, to laurel wreath from the
Duchess of Sutherland and her fair cote
rie of Hypothetical Intermediates"
He says he cares as little for the "hor-
nets" he has raised about him, as for the
gnats in the air, and will continue TO pub,
lish his Magazine in his own way. And
to all valiant Mac Duffs. who write fol
praise and dollars, he invites to Lay on
and tells them if they will spend a little
money to help to raise the condition o.
the free negroes of the North, he will try
to think them sincere.
In conclusion, he says he will pay into
the Girard Bank the sum of $1,000 tc
found college in the county of Philadel
phia, for the education of free black
youth of promise, provided three hundred
Abolitionists will each subscribe the same
amount. and pay the cash in the same
bank, for the same purpose, and then ex-

The GrpslEs.-A squad OF these wan
dering vagabonds are encamped on the
Northwestern Turnpike, about FIVE miles
west of this place. They are following
what appears to be the only arocation OF
the race-begging, thieving and fortune
telling. We are told that they have not
made less than 500 by telling fortunes
while there, and that they visit the hou-
SEES in the neighborhood. and impudently
demand donations in the shape of provi-
sions, clothing, &C., and threaten to bring
the judgment of Providence upon the
heads of all who refuse them. None who
know enough to count ten will be inhuen'
ced by this nonsense.
