a king as you or l." If this was the account
which the British minister Of foreign affairs
gave of the Mosquito king and kingdom. he
(Mr. Everett) thought it would be waste OF
the time Of the Senate in proving the Inanty of
this king and kingdom Great Britain two
/ centuries ago, contracted certain duties and
obligations towards the Mosquitoes who are
now reduced to mere handful, IN wrctchcd
condition and whom she does not consider in a
condition wholly to disregard England has
no interest or motive IN keeping up the protec-
torate. and he believed she was disposed to do
what was essential to our mutual peace.
1t is more Important who is sent to Central
America as our Minister, than who is sent to
Lond n, Paris or st. Petersburg. lie placed

to merit and qualification. These appointments
reflect the highest honor on the President, and
his Political friends in the SenIte, who con-

intended to violate the faith of trclties. " hut

Then as to Central America leaving out Be-

There was suspicion of bad flih and a dis

would be reasonable grounds for IT, that by re-
