Washington Items.-The Nicaragua Question.
The special correspondent of the New
York Tribune telegraphs under date of the
9th, that there was no further action on that
day upon the recognition of Walkers gov
ernment or the reception of Minister Will.
The question stood upon its adjourned basis
at the meeting the previous Thursday,
when the majority voted afirmatively, and
subsequently to which the President author
lied Mr.. Heiss to bring the new Minister to
Washington. Indeed, it is understood that
matters had progressed so far that Padre vi
jips presentation speech was prepared, and
the points either had been or would be SUBJ
mitted to the President for the arrangement
of reply.
1t may now be assumed for certain that if
Mr.. Pierce adheres to the recent inclination,
Walker will be recognized, despite any dis
agreement in the cabinet upon the policy OF
the act. There were some manifestations Of
change of inclination at the White House,
from misgivings in other quarters.
It was desire of government to have
sent out an agent by steamer to investigate
the Panama affray, but suitable person had
not been found. One will go at the next
opportunity.
Dispatches will leave directed to Mr.
Bowlin, United States Minister at Bogota
instructing him to proceed forthwith to the
spot and institute an official inquiry.
General Molina, Minister from Costa
Rica, has replied to the communication con.
corning the massacre at Virgin Bay, saying
that he will make it the subject of special
despatch. The truth is he has no other in.
telligence on the subject than that which
came through Walkers camp, having receiv
ed no direct correspondence from his owr
government.
Mr.. Champion has said to foreign Minis
ter that the reply of the British govern
ment to Secretary Marcy's demand will moi
be as satisfactory as the United States ex
pect. If this opinion be well founded it il
not improbable that he may have his pass
ports at an early day, as the answer wa.
daily expected.
