The Nicaragua Canal.

A few days since the President sent into
Congress message relative to the inter.
oceanic Canal, BY the Nicarseua route. The
British Government has transmitted 10 The
State Department the fact that information
has been received, that the Compaay which
had contracted to build ship canal across at
Nicarauga, having found it impossible to car
ry out the plan as originally contemplated,
has resolved to propose 10 the Government
OF Nicarauga modification Of that plan,
with view Of constructing canal Of small
Ter dimensions than those specified in the
contract, and the British Minister has been
instructed TO intimate that if this Informa-
lion should prove correct. Her Majesty's
Government would feel at liberty. under the
treaty of April 10Th, 1850, 10 withdraw its
protection from that Company, and to trans
fer it to any other Company which should
undertake canal on the original plan, it be-
ing deemed Of the utmost importance, by
the British Government, that the great con-
ception Of on inter-oceanic canal, ada oted
to the accommodation of the vessels of the
whole commercial world, should not dwindle
down to an ordinary transit route for coast
ing vessels, which TO distant nations would
be comparatively Of little value.
The British Minister has also been iustruc.
ted 10 signify to the Department, that since
Great Britain first assumed the protection
and defence Of the Mosquito Indians, the
position of all parties had changed. Spain,
instead of exercising absolute spyereignity
over Central America, and prohibiting all |
commerce on the coast under hersurvey, has
lost her dominion over all parts of
his Continent. In conse quenee of these
,hanges, the British Government proposes
hat San Juan Del Norte, or Greytown,
should be a free and independent port that
ndemnification or advantages equivalent to
hose laid down in the project of the treaty
# the Both of April. 1852, should be assured
Mosquito, in reference 10 San Juan that
he United States and Great Britain, without
ormally guaranteeing San Juan Del Norte
hould be ready to act in concert 10 defend
be independence of the free port OF city. in
whatever quarter it may be attacked. For
hese purposes, the British Government pro-
ose TO dispatch some person qualified, to
feat with the authorities Of that city, and
case the United States concur in the views
the British Government, would recon-
lend that new convention, in place of the
naccepted agreement Of the 18th of April,
S52, should be proposed and concluded and
nat person well qualified for the purpose (
lould be sent by the Government to act con-
unity with the commissioner Of Her Britain.
Majesty,
The Message was referred to committee,
