THE MOSQUITO KING.

DR.. McBesn,a few evenings since, at New
Orleans, gave an amusing account, in lecture,
of this notable" parsonage. The Doctor il
seems, had an interview with the Mosquito
King, who was dressed in the full costume OF
his country, to wit: straw hat and separ.
The Doctor states that the young sovereign said
" that his father, the old King Bob, was very
drunk when he sold his lands to Captain Shep
pard, d Greytown, and that therefore the
grant or sale was no, valid" This is the grant
which Colonel Kinney has purchased, and
under which he claims a vast region of terri.
tory.
This old King Bob, by the way, was a Gu.
riosity. He was excessively fond of rum and
tobacco, in which he was supplied by the Eng
lish from Jamaica. About the time the latter
first began to turn their serious attention to
the acquisition Of territory in Central America,
King George the Third sent bis sable brother a
richly ornamented generals coat and cooked
hat King Bob was excessively delighted with

formed that the patriotic Indignation of our
President, concerning tho usurpations of Eng
land in Central America, was all humbug, and
that all our efforts to strengthen the admins
tration upon the Monroe doctrine have been
thrown away, for there is no cause or pretext
for rupture in the affairs of Central America.
Curious this, very.
THE Union talks, too, of Great Britain
threatening us with war; We had supposed, on
the contrary, that the administration had re-
solved to get John Bull cut of Central America
and that the negotiations to this eud had been
brought TO the alternative to England of back
out or n fight. This was the great feature Of
the message; and the Importance OF its develope-
ments upon this subject was if We mistake
up TO Congress in advance of the organization
OF the House. Yet we are told now that
Champion is the only existing cause or pretext
Tor rupture between the two countries. Is
the Central American issue then abandoned
on either side, or postponed indefinitely, or
settled, or turned over with the consent of both
governments into the hands of Gen. Walker
and the Nicaragua Accessory Transit Com
pany? We should really like TO know.
Champion is the only cause or pretext for
upturep We turn back to the affair of the
steamer Caroline, and the MLeod case, ard
feel fully authorized to bid the bulls of Wall
street be of good cheer. The world will never
be set in flames about Mr. Champion. oh, no!
But upon the Central American question, how
is it? Is Marcy laughing in his sleeve at us2
Have we been sold? Or has Mr.. Pierce been
frightened off by the warlike voice of Seward !?
These are the questions that bother us.

TUESDAY MORNING. MARCH IL. 1850.

Hag- Our readers will see. from our issue
this morning, that the Washington Sentinel
loses the editorial services of CHARLES MAURICE
SMITH. II is not in accordance with usual
ceremony, which too often means nothing, that
we say what we do, in the severance Of the pro.
fessional connection between this gentleman
and ourself. Far from it. The inclination
traces to our heart. and We could not resist it
if we would. CHARLES MAURICE SMITH. two
years and half ago, became associated with us
in the editorial department Of the Washington
Sentinel With no preparatory interest in the
paper yet his devotion 10 ts mission, and his
efforts in its behalf were signally consistent
and constant. As writer, his style, always
graceful and attractive, was often, when the
subject justified il. enforced BY much power
and ability. Regular aud systematic in his
labors, cheerful and ohliging in his manners,
polite and considerate Of I'll with whom he had
to do, he became the general favorite of ALL

tiers and editors are cranky people sometimes,
and the Sd is often to pay among them.

lots were cast in different lines, until, By one OF
those freaks of fortune, We were brought to-
