All this labor is in vain. The reiteration of
falsehood will not help TO make it a truth nor can

be so dull to the simplest rules of international ms

shot over teegraphs and stupidity kneaded into touch
editorials.
Among the latest " Interesting information on the
subject is a letter from Mr. B. s. Cotuel, U s com
mercal agent at San Juan del Nore, to Captain Free

the present political state of affails in Njcaraona
We must preface MIR CottrelIs information bv SAVING
that it is dyed at the very spring. That gentleman
has always sympathzed with the anti American in
terests in Nicaragua, and has acted more as a sub.
iect of Great Britain there, and consequently az an
! aoant IF Costa RIca Than as tho communicated
the United States. This fact will account for The
stupid coincidence of his intelligence with that of the
open Costa Rican agents.
! He says: "Qulet is once more re tored bound

1t is very kind of Costa RIGA 10 give back to Nj.

Nicaragua. One man nigh as we'll say to another
Good sir have longed for your boots this many
day intended to have stolen them but seeing that
you never 60 without them, give tkem back to you
present them with feelings of The profoundest," &c
This polite giving back berays the English diploma
cy and generosity which relinquishes anything
touched, but gives back, with grand flourish, what
it never had.
Mr. Cotrelrs contribution to the stock of useless
knowledge is very stale. 1t lacks the American pc.
culiary Of freshness and will rather retard than fur
ther the wishes of the Costa Rcan agents and English
ntriguers
There is no government in Nicaragua now, which
could legally make any such agreement. The repu.
ted government is under double dictatorship. Two
chiefs of two distinct and Old rival parties are at the
head of affairs. The tgovernment' OF Nicaragua
resembles the double headed eagle on The Austrian
banner The necks an heads are Srainng and ga
zing in opposite directions, and seems as if tearing
the body asunder. SO il is in Nicaragua-the heads
are not looking in the direction and Nicaragua
has force of six hundred troops at Rivas watching
the body.
Suppose Willard Fillmore and John C. Fremont
agreed between themselves to be the government of
this country; it is not likely that England, with all
her admiration for the Black Republicans, and par
donable hatred of the American Democracy, would
ever dare 10 recognize treaties made by them with
the Emperor of Hayt, or President Roberts Of Libe-
ria. She would we'll know that those two crows
would't make one eagle. or a decent blackbrd.
So it is not TO be supposed that the American Execu
tive could, would or Can, or will regard as the
fundamental will of the people of Nicaragua treaty
made between two heads of two noted rival factions
with Costa RIGA the especially these rival
heads have had chance to consul even their own
interests, being urder the surveillance of a Costa
Rlcan army. Costa Rica is the actual dictator of the
quasi dctators of Leon and Granada, and neither one
of them the representative of Nicaragua intact The
affair is an impudent effort TO effect by camor what
cannot Re gained by calm honesty.
