Great Britain violated the treaty by occupying
the Bay Islands. and in continuing her protect.
orate, in despite of repeated remonstrances on
the part Of the American government. over the
Mosquito Kingdom. Secretary MARCY and Mr..

treaty. This proposal involved the relinquish-
meoi Of the pro,eetoratc over the Mosquito
Kingdom, and the discontinnsnce Of the British
colony, at the Bay Islands
