THE NrCARAGuAN MINISTER PLENIPoTENTARY
TO THE UNITED STATEs.-The Nicaraguan gov
eminent would appear to entertain very diff
ferent estimate Of the characters and deserts OF
its Minister to Washington. Senior Don Jose de
Marcoleta than that which the late administra-
ton of President Fillmore held Of the same
gentleman. The government at Washington
manifested their opinion of him by officially in
forming him that he could not be recognized as
the representative Of Nicaragua; but, per con-
tro the Minister of Foreign Affairs at Mana
qua conveys to him the following communica-
ton, evincing the high value set upon his talents
and services by his own government
GOVERNMENT HOUSE,
MAHAGUA, June 30, 1858.
To HIS EXCELLENCY SENIOR DoN JOSE DE MAR
coLETA, Minister PlenipoteDtiary OF Nicaragua az
Washington
The undersigned Minister Of Foreign Affairs Of the
Government of Nicaragua. has the honor Of sending
to your Exceency printed copy OF the decree No.
1885, issued by the Congress of the State granting to
your Exce'ency fifteen cabaleras Of land appertain-
ing TO the State This present, although very insg-
nfcant, is merely mark o. the esteem of Nicaragua
towards it, worthy minister aud Of its gratitude for
the important services rendered by your Excelency
to the country which feels proud to call you one 81
its distinguished SONS. His Excelency the General
Supreme Director hopes you will accept Of this
small token, proof Of the esteem and affection OF
the Nicaraluan people.
The undersigned Minister Of Foreign Affairs avails
himself of this opportunity to offer to your Excel
lency the sentiments Of his highest consideration.

There is some diplomatic difficulty here. The
United States government definitely refused
to recognize Mr.. Marcoleta in his ministerial
capacity; and yet several months after that
dismissal must have become known to his own
government, he is addressed by the Nicaraguan
Minister Of Foreign Affairs as Minister Pleni-
potentiary Of Nicaragua at Washington" and

Mr.. SECRETARY DoBBIN AND THE PITrsBURG
PREss-LIGHT WANTED-A telegraphic des-
patch having been received at Pittsburg. some
time since, announcing the return of Secretary
Dobbin to Washington, the news was thus an
nounced in the several morning papers of that
city,
Stacy DoJ5ins has returned to Washington
Journal.
Lucy Do6bias has returned to Washington
Union.
The Lucy Dobbins has returned to Washington
gazette.
Secretary Dobbi1s has returned to Washagt ton
Dispatch and Post.
Stacy Dobbns was evidently pure guess work
for we apprehend that that gentleman has yet to
make his first visit. The Union. some persons
will be apt to think, was pretty near the mark,
and made it Lucy Dobbins on purpose, in COM
pliment to the other old ladies in the Navy
Department The Lucy Dobbins signifies that
the Secretary of the Navy is perfect steam
boat, which may be the case; but we should not
think SO from the speed of the Princeton war
steamer, Of six miles an hour. Secretary Dob
bins will do. But what has Mr. Dobbin been
about all this time, that even the newspapers
have not yet learned how to spell his name?
Let him be up and doing War-clouds still
hang over the distant East, and they are spread
ing along the South. And at such crisis the
Secretary of the United States Navy is con-
founded with Lucy Dobbins! It won't do.
