! NICARAGUA AND GREAT BRrTAIN.--Th Wash.
iurson correspondent Of the Baltimore Sun, Wi.
ting under date Of the 9th, says.
al have been enabled 70 obtain q copy Of the
existing treaty Of ls49 between Great Britain and
Nicaragua, and which preciudcs Nicaragua from
attempting to extend her jurisdiction over San
Juan del Norte or any part Of the Mosquito terri
tory. ~
The treaty was made under these circumstan.
ces. to wit: Nicaragua had taken possession OF
San Juan. and British force was landed there
and the Nicaraguese were expelled, and their nag
supplauted by that Of Mosquito. The aifhculty
was settled by treaty concluded at Cuba, an L..
land In Lake Nicaragua, one OF the articles Of
which stipulates that any attempt by the Ncara-
guese sto exercise sovereignty over any part of
the MOSQUITO territory or re take possession OF
San Juan, should be construed as declaration
of war against Great Britain"
Ihave also information from an authentic source
that the commander of Her Britannia Majesty's
feet on the West Indian station has distinct orders
TO prevent Nicaragua, by force, II necessary, from
taking possession of San Juan. 1t appears proba-
bic, therefore, that II the NicaraguAn government
attempt 10 carry into effect their late decree the
British consul at San Juan will enter a protest
against It, and give notice of the fact to the COM
manders the British ships of war on that coast.
A British war steamer is always In readiness at
San Juan to carry orders or dispatches to the BIZ
tsh admiral
1t 10 not improbable, therefore, Greytown VIII
soon be the scene Of another bombardment.

MISS MURRAY's BooK.-The following is the
closing paragraph of Miss Murrays Cuba, the
United States, and Cananda:"
And now farewell, thou giant Republic! /
have long since left thy shores; but have brought
with me, and fondly cherish the recollection of the
many pleasant days spent within thy borders,
and of ali those friends whose unceasing hospitality
and kindness tracked my path without intermis.
sion. l care not for filbustercs and Russian sym.
pathizers know that the heart ofthe diligence
of thy people beats with friendly pulsations, to
which that Of my own countrymen readily re-
spends. All we should, and trust all we do, mu.
tually desire is to encourage an honorable and in
creasing rivalry in arts science, commerce and
good will. He who would disturb our amieable
relations, be he British or American, is unworthy
of the name of man. for he is foe to liberty, hu-
manity and christianity"

WASHINGTON, March 6-loP.M

WASHINGTON, March 6-10 P. NJ.
The President in April last, in compliance with
a resolution of the Senate, adopted in executive
session, gave notice to Denmark that the United
States would, in year from that time, terminate
the existing treaty by which our government &C.
quiesces in the payment of what are denominated
the sound dues. For eleven months the people of
this country have been more or less excited this
subject, and even Europe has felt the necessity of
diplomatic proceedings in consequence. To-day,
however. Mr.. Sumner arose in his place in the
Senate, and submitted q resolution denying to
the President and Senate the right to give any
such notice, which, he affirmed, required the for
NAL sanction of both Houses of Congress, and the
President. to prove which. he quoted from the
Constitution of the United States 10Th article) the
words: This Constitution, and the laws of the
United States which shall be made In pursuance
thereof, and all treaties made, or which shall be
made, under the authority of the United States
shall be the supreme lao Of the land" Mr.. Sumner
quoted precedents and opinions to show that these
words have only their plain and usual signi.
fcation, and that year must expire after E
joint resolution shall have been passed by Con.
gress, and after further notice shall have been
given, before the present arrangement respecting
these dues can be terminated by our government
i entertain no doubt of this position, and marvel
much that it never occurred to the mind Of any
one before.
Mr. Douglass report on territorial affairs is anx-
iously looked for, and is greatly feared by the
Republicans, some of whom say that, although he
cannot deny nor successfully defend the action of
the border Missourians, he can and will deluge Mr.
Reeder with testimony that gentleman has provided
against himself
The House seemed disposed to-day to treat the
Court of Claims az but small affair; and pre-
sumo 1t will not demand sufficient consider alton to
attract to it the public confidence and respect
Like committee of Congress it may approve or
disapprove claim; but Congress will, as ever,
scrntinize it afterward. 1t is therefore likely to
cost more than it will profit the country.
whether the House shall go to Kansas, by COM
mission, or Kansas shall come to the House. by a
delegation of its citizens witnesses, is the sub.
Ject of protracted debate, perhaps debate of in.
definite duration. Mr.. Boyce, of South Carolina,
and Mr Bingham of Ohio, were quite interesting
In their speeches to-day, the latter at times even
eloquent. But do not think that elocution should
have anything to do with this subject now
"Facts,' as Tom Gradgrind would say, "are all
mat can interest rational mind" Defamation
was fairly exhausted before Kansas was organized
