 legation of the United States, 1 Republic of Nicaragua Grana,la, AprII 15, 1856 Str:-The enclosed statement shows me state of facts which you are already aware of; that on the 7th inst unarmed and inotfensive citizens of the United States were cruelty butchered at Virgin Bay, by the troops under your immediate command 1 have also seen your proclamation, that all persons taken with
 
 that all American citizens shall be immediate ly driven out of Costa Rica To prove the sincerity of your first proclamation you ap- pend list of persons who were taken prisoners at Santa Rosa, and shot on the 26th of March. Among them 1 find the names of Isaac A. Rose and John J. Gidin, natives of the United States.
 l have noright, and certainly 10 disposition to interfere In any way with the unhappy war now raging between two entire republics; but it Is my right as well as my duty, to inform you. as the chief magistrate of Casta Rica that the acts of numbering in cold blood unarned Amer. lcan citizens, who are in no wise connected with any beiilSerent act, or party, k an olteuse against the law of God, oi humanity and of nations. his offence is no less aggravated by the fact, that those who committed so wanton an outrage, were under your immediate command, that you were on the ground, and did not prevent 1t, as 1t was in your power to do.
 l would remind you of the letter of Mr. Mole na,the envoy extraordinary and minister plenipo- tentiary of our government, dated Washington, l3th December 1854. to the secretary of State of the United States, wherein he states that the laws of Costa Rca are exceedingly Hber- al Con the subject of granting landS,) and offer ed great facilities to emgrants who would come to Costa Rica and fix their residence there" The treaty between the L. S and c sta Rca, made in 1851, in the twelfth article guarantees to citizens of the United States residing in Costa Rica, in their persons and property, the protec ton of your government
 Under these inducements and guarantees citizens of the United States have come and settled. What excuse can be offered, or how will you appear iu the eys of the world, when you publish proclamation cXpelIing these same persons without being guilty of any crime and numbering them without any mercy? in the name of the United States and of the go- vernment thereof, l protest asast such inta- nous conduct; and be assure1 sir. that the go- vernmeut of the United States, aided as you may be by iEvidous and powerful allies, will enquire into such acts of lawleoS violence, and if nexplained and unatoned for, will take dcc- ded measures to protect the lives of our cit- zens and vindicate the honor of the nation.
 Rumors have also reached me that some four teen ,r eighteen citizens, four ladies' Gone with an infant were recently murdered by some troops at Virgin Bay. am slow to believe so dabolical an outrage. John B. Sawlen, esq, the bearer of this, is instructed to inquire, in the name of the United States, for this legation, into the facts touching this rumor. l send him with my flag with this despatch, and pray that you give him a conduct through your lines, and prompt reply to your obedient ser want
