Roland for Mr.. Pferce,s Oiiyer.

Roland for MIR. Pferce's Oliver.
The principal feature of interest in the Nj
caraguan advices brought by the Northern
Light, is the suspension by the government of
that republic Of official relations with the Hon.
J. II. Wheeler, United States Minister, and the
revocation of the diplomatic powers of Col.
French. This proceeding was to be expected
from the course pursued by Mr.. Pierce aud his
advisers towards the Nicaraguan envoy. The
weakness which cur Cabinet exhibited Ia depart.
ing from recognized principle of international
comfy, in order to carry out certain crotchety
views in connection with the Central American
question, could not fail to meet with this vel,
merited rebuff from a government Of SO de-
cided character as that Of Presiasat Rves
From the moment that that government was
irmly established, and had swept away every
trace of opposition, it became the duty Of
Mr.. Pierce to give it frank recognition.
Such course would not only have been con.
sistcnt with the general usages of nations, but
with the invariable practice of this country.
For objects of his own, however. Mr. Pierce
thought proper " deyiste from established
