has handled his subject in mastery style, graphing
fairly with its difficulties, and determined, without
reserve or partially TO apply such remedies - his
financial position renders possible. The great length
OF the Chancellors speech, Give and half hours,
prevents % from giving At present anything more
than brief sketch of the plan proposed we shall
revert to it in our next.
The change in the Spanish ministry is Q
most cheering event, and induces the belief that
Spain will no longer be domineered over as it has
too long been, by designing priests and abandoned
women, but that the ancient independent spirit and
fine old laws OF the nation will be allowed TO operate
The new appointments NJ. Lersundi, the friend Of
General Concha, as Prime Minister Ayllon, de-
cided LIBERAL as Foreign Minister Egana, man Of
high repute for integrity as Minister OF the Interiors
aud Gen. Roncal, already well known, as Minister
of Marine. These are all of them good men and true
and it is to be hoped that they will adopt such
will meet the general approval Of the Cores
and the country.

The English View Of Captain Holltns' Course
at San Juan Del NOrte.
From the London Chronicle, April 16
It is likely on the whole, that the arrival of fur
ther intelligence van show that one Captain Hollins,
the commander of an American sloop OF war, has
mistaken exceeded his authority in violently dis
possessing the de fdeto government OF the impor-
tant little city which the Colonial Office has baptized
Greytown, but which Americans delight in styling
st. Juan de Nicaragua. On the assumption how
ever that the acts of the American captain have
been warranted by his Instructions, the seizure is
about the most grotesque miscarriage of foreign
;ufn which fha rohnat al Wa chin OFT cnud
possibly have stumbled. Great Britain, without po-
sitvely sustaining the pretentions Of the Mosquito
King to the sovereignty of GreytOwn, has hitherto
declined to make the admission that his rights have
been forfeited and this hesitation is the single overt
act on which the war party OF the United States
rest their vehement imputations of an English con-
spiracy against the independence OF Central Anne
RIGA. Messrs Cass and Douglas have never ceased to
tax us with maintaining our ornaments and estab
lshments in the West Indies from the single motive
of passion for continental ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. Over
and over again. it has been urged in Congress that
we were meditating swoop on Nicaragua; and yet
which is to keep vgilant watch on our nefariOus de-
signs, than the unfortunate little seaport is dis
covered struggling in it's talons. We cannot con-
ceive the tables more completely turned on our Anne
ncan accusers. Nothing has ever been done by Eu-
ropean governments which can approach this act Of
violence regards the levity of the pretences by
which it is yelled. Don Pacifco quarreled with the
King of Greece to the amount of an indemnity to
which he was undoubtedly entitled. But Governor
Marcy to have positively taken issue with the
rulers of Nicaragua on the construction of nstru-
ment Of lease. An American company formed for the
purpose OF conveying goods and passengers across
the isthmus, has been occupying considerable plot
of ground under demise from the State of Nicara-
qua. The State government has served ejectment
on the Transit Company, and the company insisting
on its right to remain, appeals to Capt Holns, who
forthwith hauls down the Nicaraguan flag in Grey
town, and hoists the Stars end Stripes.
We have stated our beIief that the usurpaton Of
Captain Hollins will either be dsavOwed apollo
gised for; but the consequences of this act by
no means be annulled easily the act itself. Ii
General Pierce were more violently overbearng than
we have reason to think him, and were disposed to
justify the proceedings Of the subordinate whom he
has commissioned, be would have less difficulty in
finding warrant for this outrage in the letter Of the
law of nations than in rectfying the false position in
which it has planted his government. The doctrines
of the pubcists the subject Of reprsas h, rsb
to degree which is not readily credited by tAose
who accustomed solely to the actual practice of
nations; and we have not the least doubt that many
q text might be cited which would bear out the
United States in assuming private grievance Of
their citizens and in redressng it by the sword But
whether the cabinet seconds Captain Holns or re-
pudiaes him, the movement has been equally false.
The Americans can at present gain nothing by vio-
lence. Nicaragua is too feeble to resent or
repel oppression; and the affair can only end,
at best, by the reinstatement Of the Transit
Company, aud the restoration Of sovereign power
~ the Nicaraguans. But then what becomes of
British conspiraeies on the Mosquito shore? Where
is the amicabe protection which was to shield Mica
ragua from the enslavement which England is pre-
pairing for it, under the pretext Of tender concern
for her savage prot6ge 1t is as clear as the day
that the true policy Of the party which wishes to
convert Nicaragua into virtual dependency of the
United States-a party largely represented in the
Presidents cabinet-was to keep the Creole anrhori
ties in permanent exstacy of alarm at the medita-
ted perfdy of Great Britain. But no assurances of
the American government will now avail to prevent
the Ncanguans from percsiving that their real dan
ger impends from their fair-spoken neighbors the
north, and not from the English colonial office, to
which they are but perplexity and name. This
is fully understood on the theatre Of affairs, where
the American denizens, who are multiplying i'm
mensely in Greytown, have been the first to protest
against the harshness of their naval compatriot
Doubtless these gentlemen cherish the hope that
Nicaragua will one day be as Ango-Saxon as New
York; but they evidently comprehend the immedi-
ate difference which will be made in their influence
and position by premature instalment Of annexa-
ton Hereafter they will probably be less indulgent
ly regarded than the once dreaded admiral Of the
English West India fleet, which has, it seems been
