DARING AND SUCCESSFUL HIGHWAY RoBBERRY.-
Mr.. Richard Joyce cotton broker residing in James
street, was attacked on Saturday evening by three
men who robbed him of a wallet containing Sl60 in
bank bills and notes of hand and other papers the
value of nearly So 900, with which they escaped. 1t
appears that shortly after o'clock in the evening he
had landed at the foot of Roosevelt street from one
of the ferry boats, and was proceeding toward his
residence when three men, came up to him, one OF
whom jostled against him while another struck him
q powerful blow in the face which knocked him to
the pavement. The thieves then stole his wallet and
two of them ran off it, while the other remained
to rob Mr. joyce of his valuable gold watch Mr. j..
was determined if possible to his watch and also
to secure the robber but the fellow too strong for

The Panama ana nicaragua rroub,e -

through our private correspondence from Wash

are warmly in favor of prompt and bold action in re-
gard TO the recent outrages American citizens at
Panama and Virgin Bay. It is doubtful, however.
that their counsels will prevail. war vessel il

will be sent to the commander directing him to remain
and afford protection our citizens crossing the
lsthmus What course will be taken to Obtain repara
ton for the murders and robberes committed bv the
iniurlated mob, countenanced by the authorities and
aided by the police has not yet transpired if it has
been decided, which is probematcal. #r
The massacre of unoffending American citizens al
Virgin Bay, by the Costa Rican soldiery, is matter
OF even graver Importance than the Panama affair
barbarous and oodthrsty as it was in all its details
AT virgin Bay the Costa Ricans, acting under the
direct orders of their commander and officers wan
tonly fired upon and killed number of our citizens
IN 20 wise connected with or participating in the
war waging between Costa Rica and the Republic q
Nicaragua. The Costa Ricans had entered the place
unopposed, and therefore no provocation had beeT
given them by the victims of their savage onslaught
Ihey were peaceful men in the employ Of the Transi
Company, and their only offence was that they were
| Americans.
We have not yet heard what our Government in
tends doing to avenge the outrage but as it has the
will expect prompt and decided action on the matter
Certainly the Panama and Virgin Bay outraees afford
the Administration an opportunity to- redeem Its
foreign policy from much cf the discredit into WHICH,
IL has fallen But it must not be prompt and infey
ibe towards the Panamenos and slow and yacillatine
with the Costa Rcans, because the latter are melted
and encouraged and to certain extent are under the
protection of the British Government If it woStiiel
make the persons and the rights of American citizens
respected it must be as fearless and Jealous in de-
tending them against the intrigues and enmties OF
the strong as against the weak who merely give rein
to their vicious passions HE q
We hope that our Government will arrive at the
resolution to pursue an independent, American policy
and pursue it without regard to what European na
tions may think. We do not intrde ourselves in the
difficulties and quarres, and should let them know
by our actions that we will resist their interference il
matters that specially concern us and the States o.
this continent If we adopt this policy, and show
them that we mean to adhere to it, we will avoid
complications Of relations and difficulties in the
future, which, otherwise, will become inevitable, and
perhaps force us into obstinate and destructive wars

not be received, for the reason that The
cannot suddenly change its policy on the eve Of ths
Cincinnati Convention, and that the original reason
for refusing to recognize Walkers government I'll
wit that it was not civil government, still exists
But on the other hand, it is urged that the presen
government has the almost universal support ant
confidence of the Nicaraguans, and that it is NOR
permanently established than any previous dynast..
tor some time past, and that there can be no persona
objection to the new Minister, who is native Nicara
guam, and connected with the hierarchy Of tia
State, which is an influential and permanent eIemen
n the government, and cordially supports the presen
regime.
The new Minister is in New York .bnt yiIInot come
to Washington uninvited, nor present himself an un
welcome applicant for recognition to Mr.. Marcy.
1t IS also question before the administration
whether any and what notice shall be taken Of the
nterpositon by the British Government n behalf Of
Costa Rieain the present conflict There Is nothing
~ the Bulwer Treaty which restricts either
party from forming alliances offensive and defensive
with any or oil Of the Central American States still

the fact that Walker is receiving reinforcement from
New Orleans and other quarterswithout the slight
est hindrance from this government
The answer to be received within a week or two
from the British government in regard to the enlist

istraton if not the people and it is very possible
that Central America may afford necessary causes for
dispute. TCor. Bait sIn. =
