The undersigned deems it also to be his duty to inform
his exceency the Secretary of State that the constituent
assembly OF Nicaragua has approved and confirmed the
contract made by the undersigned with the American Al
lantic and Pacific Ship Canal Company the only one
vested with the privilege of carrying the isthus

right to carry emigants to that country under such
ditions have been imposed said company All other
emigrans coonizes whatsoever tnt may be conveyed
to that country will be refused admission, and compelled
depart from the territory of the republic or they will
be dealt with enemies of the republic should they
pear there in the character borne by those lately intro
duoed by the inoorrgble adventurer William Walker
The undersigned in the name Of the three government
which he represents returns thanks to the government
of the United States for having taken away the aen
turer William Walker and his invading band from the
point of which they had taken possession the coast d
Nicaragua thus freeing those friendly countries from the
evils with which they would have been visited had he~
disturbe of the peace Of nations been allowed the posi-
bity of increasing their forces by recruits Tho
who in the service which the government of the Units
States has rendered to its friend the republic Of Nics
ragua, would seek for warrant to say that the Mica
raguan territory has been violated, will hardly find
from the moment that the world will have learned tb
the government Of Nicaragua far from complaining OIL
violation of her territory looks upon that act as an
ssance directed in behalf Of its invioabiity which wa
wounded in effect by certain adventures from the I'M
ted States and that it considers such assistance extend

which, by his note of the 14th of September last th
undersigned had asked this government to adopt gy5
orders to the navy of the United States to capture The
vioators of the laws of neutrality.
The point from which Commodore Pauding forced awa
those bandits the violators OF the laws of all nations
and such Justly assmated, by the law Of nations
pirates and of mankind is almost desert one, "
which there exist Ncaraguan authorities that could ha
managed the apprehension Of those felons Nicarag~
therefore, considers that the proceedings of Commodo
Paulding against Walker and his horde entirely W
tiiable for ofwar Of any nation may take
pirates from desert island thnly peoped thS
they assert their dominion IT, although lh'
island might belong another sovereign nation Just
can bandits be apprehcndcd enemies of the humm
race, by the armed vessels OF friendly nation. on Po"
of foreign coast which may be placed under ciIcun
stances like to those Of the island mentioned by way

Considering it highly important that the tenor OF u
the portion touching emigration TO MO

entertain the hope that the Secretary of State will mo
objection to have its contents published. i, Ia
