THE GOVERNMENT OF NICARAGUA AND
THE CABINET AT WASHINGTON.

Mr.. Marcy must feel bew ildered-he pies posi-

have produced equally contrary results The force of

opposition to tie progressive destiny of the rasbored at

States government But his has been life Of errors
and this is but one more added to the list he must
patch up.
Nicaragua, however, has cause to complain. She
has promptly Ietented the insult by cutting OF all inter-
with the government Mr.. Marcy Iepresents and
BY the act she has reserved to herself the rign

But the point on which MIR. Marcy struck most disa,

policy for the occasion. But his invention has returned

and particularly in the South is favorable to Nicaragua
lie public voice, psrayzed At the novelty Of TIE
proclamation, kept silence for time; but it only to
