PADRE VIJIL.-A New Orleans paper, of the
7th inst, contains the following sketch of Padre
Will, the new Nicaragua Minister, at Washington
Padre Will is a remarkable man, and enjoys
greater reputation, as thinker and scholar, than
most of his countrymen at home or abroad He is
now in the maturity of his powers being about forty
nine or fifty yeurs of age, and has improved his nat
urally acute and searching intellect by comprehensive
and varied observations of men, manners and things
The Padre was at one time lawyer, practicing
IN Granada, we believe, and enjoyed great prestige
as an accomplished jurist and skifu speaker being
almost as elective in court as in chambers in plead
ing as in advice. He became connected with some
of the political movements which agitated Central
America periodically, and had to choose between
exile and death as the penalty of his patriotism or
his rashness, Or his ambition or whatever if nav he
called. Accordingly, he had to leave Central Amer
lea, and refused the privilege of returning in the
character Of lawyer Or soldier Or a Politician
Only one role remained which he could play with anv
adequate chance of success and in due time he re-
solved to perform it, and reappeared in his native
country under the protection of the Church, and in
the surpce and stole Of the priest. A priest might
act as lawyer when occasion required but it is
somewhat novel to find lawyer with sufficient hard
ihood to become priest"
