CITY OF mAsAyA, ETc.

MAsAYA, March 4, 1858.
fOu will be surprised to see a letter dated from
this Indian CITY but no longer felt safe az Mana
qua. There are very black clouds now collecting in
the sky Of our poor Nicaragua, and left the capital
in haste TO escape the storm. ] had the honor of
coming in company with an officer in the confidence
Of General Jerez, the new Minister OF War and Ma
rine: he takes the road TO Leon with revelation in
his pocket and II would not in the least surprise me
II Martinez should on his part, come 10 the resol1
ton Of sending most fraterna invitation 70 Gen.
Walker 20 come back with few hundred American
rifles and resume his rank commandments IL
the army OF regeneration. IL is not possible 20 de-
piCt the horrible condition Of Nicaragua. There is
no law, no industry, no confidence no security. no
government, and no one has any opinion Of what
will be the next event.
The day before left Managua went 20 ask the
American Minister, on the part of friend who owns
portion OF the silver mine of San Juan 20 receive
The papers OF his cOuntrymen in the archives of the
legation. We were well received by the minister
but, 20 our grief we learned that the United States
extends no protection whatever over the lands and
mining property its citizens have acquired in this
country. To what purpose does n government exist
ana MAINTAIN armies and navies II such deforme1
little monster as this government cannot be made 70
respect its powerl
We then went 10 visit the President and he said
there were 80 many American claimants who had
uuupli anu anu been dlspOssested OF IL That no
could not take them into consideration az present
Apropos of American consideration on the ls.h-
mus: General Jerez has said, not once and in
whisper. but many times, aud in a loud and public
manner, that the opening Of their transit qnes
ton 70 he discussed with the British Minister, be-
cause England, who bad constantly repressed the
disposition Of the Cabinet AZ Washington 20 inter
fere In behalf OF the original constructors Of this Inc
Of Communication, would not permit that or any
other company 10 re.esiabsh It without giving sat
isfaciury guarantees TO England that i should not be
used for the introduction Of hlibusters. All this
ought 20 be very agreeable to the pride Of the great
republic Of the North
IN j. very amusing 10 hear the Manaena pc,nIe
show the ruined houses and the marks OF canpo,
halls on the churches done by the Chamorietas bs.
fore the Americans came here az ALL and tell uinil
ter Lamar that all these horrible ravapes are the
work of the fbusters.
But let us turn 10 the cause of nv being in tbis
charming city OF gardens and orange groves for IL s
significant. Night before last q courier came in
from my friend - -, at Leon. with hints of a
plan for q revolution which had been discovered az
Leon, and in which General Jerez was crayelv inn.
plicated. instantly went 10 his house 10 warn hin,
Of his dangeri for notwithstanding he had been CO.
dictator with Martinez, under the "aes" The at
the moment the supreme chief Of the Martinez Cab-
metz knew he had never forgiven the latter for bc
ing President instead of himself On arriving AZ bis
house was first told that General Jerez had retired
for the night, and when ! stated had business OF
the highest importance TO communicates was mt
Oft with other excuses; 30 that in fine I retraced
my steps with the certainty that the climate Of
Nicaragua might at any moment become dangerous
