COSTA Riea TO he visited by her Majssy's cruisers
for the protection If British interests.
In ackno wledging with gratitude on the part
Of the government of Costa Rica the receipt Of
this gratifying compliance with the application
which Ind the honor to address your lordship,
| cannot but express the hope and expectation
which will be enter tanned by my government
that the interests of Costa Rita will be included
in this protection, interests which "a. have al
ready had the honor To represent, to your lord-hip.
clio sely connected with the interests of British
subjects in that quarter.
With reference to my former letters in which
il was my duty TO draw your lordshp's notice tn
the designs of the fibusters, from which SO
much danger is to be apprehended by Costa Rica,
in common with the rest of Central America, |
cannot omit this opportunity of making known to
your lordship that intelligence recently forwarded
to me, and which las find it likewise is men
toned in the public press) has probably been
conveyed 10 the British government through
other channels, shows that the proceedings Of
these flihGsters, or unlawful aggressors, (under
whatever denomination they inay carry on their
proiects.) have been in effect. if not ostensiblv
aided by sloop of war of the United States sta
toned in the port of Greytown, and that they are
therefore countenanoed. directly or Indirectly in
the territory of Nicaragua, by the government of
those States
The policy which actuates that government in
this respect cannot but be most injurious to tb o
tranquility and prosperity Of the countries more
immediately concerned, rs well as to the inter
ests of the community at large; and as the but i'll
concealed objects of that policy are annexation to
the United States and the introduction Of the sgs-
TEN OF American slavery to the violated terrific.

earnestly impore the attention of the British
government 10 the melancholy fate which awaits
her unless the sympathy of Great Britain, on the
score of humanity and civilization, can t,e
kened to the extreme danger of the mo cement.
which can be averted only by some inn Mediate
and decisive measure of couneraction.

Don Joan B. Calvo, Minister of Relation of
Costa Rlca: By the steamer Osprey. which
must have sailed from New York, / had tb h on
or of transmitting long letter, informing you of
divers interesting affairs, under dates of eth and
22d instant answering to yours of tho 25th of
last month.
Being able to confirm all said in my first
communications have only to add that by the
last news received am assured that then is n
deep interest felt in Paris in the question and af
airs of Central America with the sincere wi ia Of
helping to maintain the Independence of it's true
inhabitants. But probably this sentime Mt will
not be acted on in any positive way till the peo-
pie interest shall fight to throw off the forei On
yoke
news of the opening of the English Purliamen t.,
where, of course, they agitate the difficulties PEN
ding with this government abont the recrutin G
and the Interpretation of the Clayton Rulw, n
treaty The ministers have clearly defined the T.
position. and say they are going 10 maintain j t
without wasting any more time in correspondence, -.
which cannot help a settlement.
The English government has declared iise
satisfied with the conduct of Mr.. Champion; and
having to bis government all the explanations and
excuses that are to be given, proposes to submit
said treaty to the decision of arbiter. which
appears will not be accepted by the American
government
Not having anything more to add, | take tn,
opportunity to assure you of my adhesion ant
distinguished appreciation. LOUIS MOLINA.
