d1a" rs best boats from this line, and put them
on Toe Panama route. And quite recently,
when Minister French demanded a settlement
10 New York, Mr.. White refused To come To
terms, and subsequently wrote letter 10 this
place, threatening. 10 the event the Govern
ment did not come 10 proper settlement,
that he would break up the line.
Wehave no doubt, if this Government would
connive at the proceeding, that Vanderbilt and
Aspnwall would ultimately succeed in ntitting
aud selling their Panama stock, when they
would invest ia tie Nicaragua line; Out we
have no tlispo-itinE 10 become nartle> TO such
speculation, nor are we Interested that hey
oud patrnnze The e. erprise connected with
Nicaragua. O,her capitalists are willing to
invest permanently IN the works of this cnan-
try, aud therefore, we are indebted To none Tor
the favor of their Assist ance. This must
eventually become the great and only route
from the East to the West, and the present
movement is but calculated to accelerate that
important consummation.
A further result from this step must be the
immediate organic ,tion of u line Of steamers
which will merit aud receive the patronage of
the public, at the same time that it will CON
duce greatly 20 the benefit OF this State. II i,
necessary that every facility should be offered
10 emigrants desiring to come to Nicaragua;
and in order to secure such cOnsummatiou.
the Government viii hold an eye npOn any
new company. Thus arranged, the miserable
failures that have hitherto marred the tor
tunes of this line will be remeded and public
confidence restored. Prices will be regulated,
here, too, and not at the within Ut cnlnbina
zion in New York.
The SPECTATORS and polit clans of the United
States will ultimately open their eyes 10 the
existence of an order of things somewhat in
advance OF even their progress. A few more
movements on the part of Nicaragua, such a.
the suspension of diplomatic relations with the
United States, the seizure OF property belong
ing to powerful company, and the celeriJy
with which these things are devised aud ex
ecuted, will impress upon them the tact that
government has sprung into being here such as
has never had an existence on this continent
before. No private interests are allowed To
combat with the settled policy of the Govern
ment, but ali Its ends are consummated with
energy, breaking down the personal aims that
stand in the path. The nation is the first
object of consideration with the chief executive
power, and while it's greatness can IN no wise
conflict with the just rights OF individuals, then
speculhtiOna of men are not allowed TO inter
fere with any of its plans of Improvement aud
advancn. Messrs. AspiuwaN add Vanderbilt,
NAV, therefore, reconcile themselves To CON
siderable loss, for they have have met an
obstacle that cannot be surmounted BY money,
or outwitred by negotiations"
EL NicGrdguenSe announces that Col.
Kewen, in company with one or two other
gentlemen, had left Granda for Virgin Bay, to
rake possession, il the name of the Govern
ment, Of the property of the Transit Company.

possession OF reliable information from Guste-
mala that no fears of hostile demonstra ion
from that quater against Nicaragua need be
entertained 1t adds
"The only ground on which such an impress
sion could have been grounded, Is that Guate-
mala has recently reinforced her regular army,
aud otherwise prepared the State for war.
Nothing IF an offensive character has been
attempted nor will be attempted, at present,
but the State will hold its army for future
action. Al first the project OF an Invasion was
favorably received; but delay brought safer
counsel and an offensive campaign was de
Clined"
Information had been received at Granada
from Costa Rica, that the mission of Col.
Schessinger would not be receved-the alieg-
ed reason being that the Republic OF Nicaragua
had engaged the service of Americans IN Itt
military establishment. In announcing this,
FL NicGrGgueHSe remarks:
The hospltaJle reception Of the embassy, and
the calm aud pacific reply Of that Government,
inspires us with the hope that a peuceabe
arrangement may yet be effected. Nicaragua
will wait awhile aud abide the fruits of her
present attitude She is willing to assist her
negotiations with few lessons of experience
10 allow her actions to testify to her pro
LESSONS. There is no impotence on our part
at few months deay-we have only asked
peace, and SO far there has been no distur-
bauce.
