ate No-called) ofthe Mosquito Kingdom.-We
have private dispasch from New York, say
ing that this mornings papers of that city
contain dispatch from this city, to the effect
that the English Government has abandoned
the Prot ectorate Of Greytown. Now, We have
every reason to believe that this is not alto
gether correct. A month and more ago, tho
English Consul at San Juan del Norte (other-
wise Greytown) notified the inhabitants there
that they need not expect tho interference of
the English Government for the enforcement
of their views of their own territorial and
sovereignty rights, as against the United
States It il very probable that the English
Embassy here received, by the Pacific, dis
patches embracing official information similar
to this notification of their consul at San Juan.
It is known that it was not long since the do
termination of the Ministry to send tho Bos-
cawen NINETY. gun ship down to that region.
That determination, it is now believed in
Washington, has been abandoned, The ship
is at Halifax at this time, and her commander
and the shore authorities there are not expect
ing that she will sail on any such mission or
enterprise. England is at present very anx-
ious, evidently, to hold the Mosquito question
in allegiance, or we are much mistaken. She
will not send her ships Of war there. As,
while at present engaged 50 seriously with
Russia, she desires, if possible, to leave her
matters in issue on this side of the Atlantic
precisely as they are. The presence Of her
ships of war in San Juan harbor could hardly
fail, just now, to complicate them greatly,
forcing her to come to the general settlement
with Us of the Mosquito dispute, which she is
striving to avoid until Russia unties her hands.
It strikes us as being the policy of this Gov
eminent to force her, to como to the SGT.
Element with as little delay as possible,
and we take it for granted that that pelicy is
being carried out with due energy by the au-
thorities here, and our able and sagacious
Minister at tho Court Of st. James. 4 81: - Il
