In regard to the alleged protectorate over the Mosquito kingdom, the President has instructed the undersigned to say it was his confident be- lief that this protectorate had been finally dis posed of by the convention. It IS therefore, much to his regret that he finds its still contin- ued as the basis of British dominion over an extensive region in Central America. Even although Great Britain admits shat the conven- ton imposes restrictions on the protectorate claimed, yet she still continues to exercise the same dominion over the Mosquito coast which she had done before its date. Indeed, at the present moment, no visible power, civil or mili- tary exists in the Mosquito territory, except that which 1t exercises by British subjects, not wlthstandlng the convention expressly prohi- bits both parties from using any protection which either may afford to any State or people, for the purpose of occupying, fortifying or CO., lonzng the Mosquito coast, or any part of Gen. tral America, or for the purpose of assuming or exercising dominion over the same.
 The declaration of the British government that its protectorate is only employed for the security of the rights of the Mosquito Indians, and that it is ready to abstain from further in- reference in that country whenever these rights can, in proper manner, be guarantied to them, cannot be recognized by the United States as having any foundation in the convention. The President considers this to be question be- tween Nicaragua and the Indians within its territory, with which neither Great Britain nor the United States has any right to interfere, except in friendly conference with the author- ties of that State
 Having thus distinctly presented to the Br- tish government the views of the government of the United States in regard to the obligations imposed by the convention of 1850, the Presi- dent feels assured that the Eall of Clarendon will, with characteristic frankness, be equally explicit in presenting the views of the British government in regard to these obligations.
 In conclusion, the undersigned is instructed to state that the President does not doubt that the interest of the two countries, and their mu- tual desire to maintain existing friendly rela- lions, will alike inspire each party with con- clIiatory spirit, and enable them to overcome all obstacles to satisfactory adjustment of the Central American questions
 The undersigned has the honor to renew to the Earl of Clarendon the assurances of his distinguished consideration

From the Boston Post. The Nicaragua EillihusferS.

On Tuesday morning, Joseph L. White and Cornelius Vanderbilt, attended at the district attorneys office, and gave security in the sum of $lOOOOO for the Northern Light The steamer was then formally released by the United States district attorney, Mr. McKeon, from the libel. Captain Tinklepaugh and Mr. Fowler, the chief engineer, gave bail, the for mer in S2O,OOO, the latter in S1OOOO. Joseph L White, esq, was accepted as security in both cases. At midnight two hundred of the steerage passengers not having tickets, were put ashore. Two men named Creighton and Morris refused: to go ashore, and were put in irons on board the Vixen.
 On Saturday afternoon, w. H. Allen, bridge builder, called at the police court in Brooklyn, and demanded warrant for the arrest of Adj son Farnsworth. He stated to the justice that he had been connected with the raising of a body of men for Nicaragua and had charge of Central Hall, New York, where their meetings were held; but that discovering that such meet ings were illegal, he failed to open the hall on Friday night, and about l o'clock ill the morn- ing Farnsworth came to his house, accompa- nied by another man. and having induced him to go to the door, Fausworth said, "Allen, I believe you intend to betray us, and 1 have come here to kill you," and instantly drew a large bowie knife, and attempted to stab him.
 MT. Male was released, and has gone out in the Northern Light with printing press for Nicaragua. The examination of the cargo by custom house officers was concluded at o'clock on "Wednesday afternoon. No cannon were found; but two deputy marshals are to go out in the vessel, in order to see if cannon or other munitions of war are concealed under the coal! If found, the steamer is to bring them back.
 In the ship news of the Journal of Com merce the Northern Light is reported to have sailed at midnight from the North river.
 The Providence Journal strong opposition paper, says:-
 "The course of the authorities in arresting the filibustering expedition for Nicaragua is highly credtable to the vigilance and prompt ness of the officers, and to the administration which gave the orders.'
