Aon Saturday last, tiristas5 our paper had issu-
ed the 9Iinist9ieof Foreign Relations placed in
our hands the following Decree, with an order
that it should be published as soon as possible
in Supplement, both in English and Spanish.
The document was important, the mandate ex-
fpFessive, att.i<On+f Sunday the supplement-
printed. .Nil kinds Of rupiors We're started, the
public mind was anxious and expectancy stood
eaelystOsaceept any alternative President Riyas
was voted Il trump, and Minister Ferrer one Of
( the boys. Th&y'llad found time. in the midstof
t theiF-nIaEIy engag ementS, TO attend to theAos-
quito question: aud with single decree had set
mt rest arnatter about which the United States
and England had quarrelel for years Mosquito
was annexed to Nicaragua, and there was no
Necessity for further protocols explanatory Of The
| Clayton-B ulwer inbroglip. Truly the cabinet of
President Rivas deserved credit for so easy an
| adjustment of so important matter.
! But in the midst of the congratulations, the
enquiry arose, what muStbe done with Kinney:
| A dozen proposed to volunteer and bring himt0
/ Granada, where the law would punish him.
| The Decree accused him of conspiring against
the integrity of the Republic, aud he ought to be
shot. But then, he was at San Juan, and how
! to dispose of that difficulty, was the next qles
/ ton. We are ahead of our story, however, aud
