An esteemed contemporary (the Boston Daily
Advertiser) accompanies the above intelligence with
the following remarks
The New York Courier and Enquirer gives publicity
in prominent intelligence of the satisfactory
settlement of all questions between the United
States and the Governments of Central America. We
observe with special qualification the that
active to be taken to suppress flbuster-
ISM the disgrace of the country and the age The
which proposed promise be efhcacious single
order the navy for the capture of the offenders is
worth fifty proclamations commanding citizens
refrain from lawess enterprises and when it is added
that the vessels of the British navy have received similar
instructions we may expect a serious and
full effort to obtain the desired end As regards the
other points mentioned cannot pretend to form
opinion of the wisdom of the particular in which
the several disputes settled until more
completely put in possession of the facts but
strongly impressed with the opinion that almost any
Element is better than none The SeSGgnton Is6s =

accords WEIhs policy of our couYtry but Also as we
are inclined to thi with atura Justice ana reoeems
the nation, far how possible from the false posi-
tion which we have occupied since Walkers attempt
at usurpation, successful, recognised
established government. As for the canal believe
that natural obsaclesuch the features Of the land
and the difficulty of obtaining wOrkmen, owing the in
hospitality of the clmae-wi prove difficulties
to be in its construction than any disputes
about charters have been.'-BostOH Advertiser.
Although the statement which we copy above
from the New York Courier is from correspondent
very intelligent and usually well-inforned yet it is
proper to say that since it put in type have
heard its accuracy questioned, and mention the fact
that we may not mislead our readers by the credit
we have given to it.
On this subject the correspondent of the Balti-
more Sun, under date of the 14th instant has the
following paragraph-not contradicting, yet not
fully confirming the intelligence of the Courier and
Enquirer: k
The recognition of the existing Government Of Nes
ragua by this Government will not long be delayed
will probably be followed by the speedy re-openine
of the transit route under the guarantee Of the United
States"
GERRIT SMITHS NEGRO FARMERs.-A few wears ago
the Hon. Gerrit Smith gave small tracts ofslao7 81
and Franklin counties, New York, in
three thousand negroes, hoping TO
