 Sr: have the honor to acknowledge the re- celpt of your letter of yesterday. In reply I have to observe that, in accordance with instruc- tons from the Department of State at Wash lngton, bearing date June 3, 1854, I notified the people of San Juan del Norte that the United States Government would demand of them payment for the property feloniously ta- Ken by and with their countenance and consent from the Accessory Transit Company, and all damages suffered dy the said company in con- sequence thereof 1 further renewed the de- mand already made by the said company for outrages committed upon their property in March, 1853. To this notice and demand (copv of which l herewith annex, marked Al no official reply has been given; but I have incl dentally learned that the people of the town have fully decided not to accede to any de- mands of the Transit Company or Government of the United States as reparation for wrongs by them committed. A second demand for satisfaction was made yesterday evening, (copv herewith annexed, marked B. which is now in the hands of the people. 1 learn from the late acting Mayor that the demand for redress there Tn made will not be compiled with.
 As regards the insult offered to Mir. Borland, our Minister to Central America have to in- form you that, so far from any apology having been offered by the town or its authorities, or any steps having been taken to bring the perpe- trators thereof to justice, the chief actors and instlsators are now i'll undisputed possession of the town, its arms and ammunition, and they (the people of the town) are thus virtually countenanclng and approving the indignity to the present moment.
 1 am, sir, very respectfully, your obedent servant, JOSEPH w. FABENS.
