The anomalous and unquatfable Col. Schlessinger
is at this very moment crossing the Lake Of Mica
ragua to Fort San Carlos on his way 10 San Juan
del Norte, by the San Juan river, with letter of
Gen. Lamar for Capt. Sands, of the Susquehanna,
recommending the high diplomatic person Of his ex.
fbustership to the said naval officer, in order TO
help him. If possible in his mission official bearer
of the ratified treaty sent by this government to the
Brooklynian Minister Of Nicaragua, Don Antonio
jose dc Yrisarr.
Schessinger expects TO find the Fulton at the har-
Dor of San Juan del Nore and hopes that Lieutenant
Amy will be ordered by Capt. Sands TO carry on
board Of the Fulton to Havana the important body
of the bearer of Ncaraguan dispatches. nhis hopes
arc not disappointed he may DO at Washington many
days before the arrival at New York of the steamer
which leaves Aspnwal April 10, carrying the pre-
sent letter. otherwise schcssnser and this letter and
his dispatches, with the ratified treaty, will all ar
rive at New York together, about the 2sth Of this

You viii probably desire TO learn some particulars
In regard 10 the last doinss Of the Assembly in con-
nection with this treaty. Here they are:--
On the Path of March the letters and mails from
New York, Of the 5th of March, arrived at Msnagua.
Until those letters we're expected the government
and the deputies-even those who we're almost dc
cid.d 10 favor the rathcation--had deemed II con
yenent not " put the treaty TO nnal vote in the
Assembly. On the 2lth the desired mail arrived at
last, and seeing that there was no new expedition
Of hlibusters expected here, and that Mr.. Yrisarr
was afraid that Mr.. Buchanan could not prevent tho
Southern spirit OF expcditonary chivary from again
helping Walker the pirate, II he lMr. BuchananD
did not obtain very soon from Nicaragua what
Nicaragua Is bound 10 allow TO American
trade and to the American nation, the govern
ment and these deputies thought that u WAS time
that the question should be decided before the ad
iournmcnt Of the Assembly.
Holy Week was approaching the deputies
wanted 10 90 to Leon the sacred procession of
the donkey, and similar edifying ceremonies, which
some people here call religious-the treaty, there
fore, had TO be ratified rejected by the 26th Of
March.
have so exactly explained TO you the motives
which influenced the minds OF the members Of the
Assembly either in favor Of against the admission
of the treaty that II Il useless for me 10 enter any
more into these details particularly ~ the Co
lumbus is about 10 leave.
What will convince you Of the correctness Of my
