REPORTED IMPRISONMENT OF THE UsIrED STATES
Consul AT NICARAGUA We learn from reliable
source, that dispatches of an important character,
bearing date Feb "a, from O. &. Wheeler, our resi-
dent mister AZ Nicaragus addressed TO Com aodore
Delaney, Of the Pacific squadron, have been opened
BY Commander Farrsgut, senior officer at the BeDcia
station; and that Saturday next the sloop of war
ST. Mary q is 10 be placed in dock 30 receive new
bowtp,it and for other repairs upon the completion
Of which, she will proceed to San Juan del Sud.
Further then this we have nothing officially.
States Consul at Nicaragua, had been imprisoned by
order Of tie Nicaragusn Government. From this 1t
would appear that the proposed destination Of the 81.
Mays is in anticipation Of serious difficulty with
the Government Of Nicaragua.
On the other hand II is alleged that the rumors are
entirely pnfounded. There seems TO be nothiog to
warrant belief Of the reports with the exception Of
Commander Faraguts actions in ordering the st.
Mary into service.
Capt Baldwin, ofthe steamer Uncls SAM pro ,eeied
TO within miles OF San Juau, with the passengers
Who went down with that vessel on her last trip; he
heard nothing however, OF the reported disturbznc
The letter from Mr.. Wheeler came by tbs Chcle Sam
which left San Juan on the 22th of March. The pas
sepgeTs who came through at that time we're not ap
praised of any disturbance, and from all We Gao
gs'br there appears to Do great Misrepresentation Of
the natter
