The Secre.ary's Reply.

DEPARTMENT OF STATE,
WASHINGTON, Dec. 19, 1854.
The undersigned Secretary Of State has the honor to
acknowledge the receipt Of the note Of Mr. Molina, En-
voy Extraordinary and Minister Penpotentiary Of the
Republic Of Costa Rica Of the 18th instant in relation to
the expedition which, Mr. Molina has learned from the
newspapers Of the day, has been organized in the United
States for the purpose Of coonzng certain lands in
Central America under alleged title granted by Mos
quito king" And in the name Of his Government Mr..
Molina protests against the validity Of "any title grant
made by the king chiefs Of the Mosquito Indians and
that the Government Of Costa Rca w not allow
any coonst party Of colists from whatever country
they may proceed occupy locate, take possession
Of lands belonging to Costa Rca for the purpose Of ag
culture mining or any other unless ne or they shall
have previously applied to the Government Of Costa Rca
effectn
In the absence Of any information that the alleged
claimed have been claiIa.d BY Costa ieA, the
warning contained in Mr. Molinas note would seem to
be premature From the tenor Of that note however, the
undersigned does not infer that the Government Of Costa
Rica apprehends any hostile intention the part Of the
organization in question: but that it simply declines to
recognise the validity of any title which this company
may have obtained from other sources than from the CO.
vernment itself.
In this view Of the case Mr. Molina will permit the
derged to observe that he does not perceive upon what
grounds the Government Of the United States inter
fere with the proposed expedition, which appears to be
peaceful enterprise involving possibly agricultural,
mining and commercial speculations, but contemplating
which will render them amenable to the neu-
trality laws Of the United States.
When the parties to this expedition shall have with
drawn from their allegiance to their country, and
Voluntarily placed themselves within the jurisdiction OF
another Power, their conduct must be in conformity to
the relations they have assumed and they re-
sponsble to the laws Of the land in which they have
sought domici The question Of validity of title to lands
is them between them and other claimants to be ad
judged not the Government Of the United States but
by the tribunals Of the State within which the dispute
shall arise.
Mr. Molina will understand from the foregoing remarks
that while this Government does not feel called upon to
interfere with the projected peaceful expeditions Of its
citizens to other countries it promptly disavows any in
enton Of justfng those citizens who may contemplate
wilfu violation Of the rights and laws of friendly
nation.
As however, the Government of the United States has
official information in respect the movements Of the
company alluded to, the undersigned would suggest to
Mr. Molina the proprety Of communicating the views Of
his Government upon this subject to the authorized agents
Of the company
The undersigned avails himself, &C. &c.

THE BRITISH POETS.

The latest portion Of this uniform series, issued from
the eminent press Of Little Brown Co., Boston,
ssts Of the PoErIcAL Works or WILLIAM WORDSWORTH,
the Poet Laureate in FIVE volumes, embelshed with
portrait and illustrated with copious notes.
Wordsworth is enrolled fifth in the succession Of the
great English poets but his true rank in British song ID
perhaps not yet to be fairly estimated Entering
manhood at time when the artificial school was en-
throned with all the authority Of long succession and un
disputed legitimacy, almost inevitable that Words
worth should become rebel against the existing order
Of winged Words and the ruling dynasty Of rival poets
and critical reviewers.
As he grew older, however, the poet departed gra-
dualy in practice from the theories laid down in his
prefaces and his earlier poems to be studied required
lenses Of focus very different from those requisite for his
maturer works It cannot be denied that in Wordsworth
the highest powers Of the poetic mind associated
with certain tendency to the duse and mmonplace
He wrote much write always well for not the
myriad-army Of Xerxes, but the compact Greek Ten
Thousand that march safely down to posterity. The
poets highest apparent not much in descrp
ton Of natural scenery deneaton Of character in
vivid expression Of sentiments produced by external OBJ
ects and events His finest passages are therefore
nologues, and hence his fondness for the sonnet.
Surviving all his contemporaries Wordsworth died full
Of days and Of honors and in the enjoyment, in some
degree of his posthumous renown. He departed in
his eghtieh year. on the 23d Of April 1850, the ami
versary Of the decease Of Shakespeare and Of Cervantes
