| TREATY BETWEEN GREAT BRITAIN AND
NICARAGUA.
The Washington correspondent of the New Y York
! Times says:
We are enabled at last to understand the cause of
! Sir William Gore Ouseley's prolonged residence in
Washington, while holding the title of "Her Bri-
! tannic Majesty's Envoy Extraordinary and Minister
Plenipotentiary Il special mission to the Republic
! of Central America" Sir William originally Sc
lccted Washington his headquarters, in order to
| ma ke himself perfectly familiar with all the shoals
and quicksands of the Central American imbroglio.
That done, his duty was to watch the movements Of
! the American Government, and secure treaty from
| Nicaragua as comprehensive any that we might
negotiate So far Sir William has heen very sue
ccssfu in his diplomacy, and the following is the
draft of 4 treaty which he, with the assistance of
| Seniors Molina and Jercz, has drawn up This draft
was dispatched to the Foreign Office last june and
was sent back to this country by the Persia. 1t
! has been approved by the British Government, and
! will certainly be ratified by Nicaragua. Sir Viii
! liam is waiting in New York for the arrival of
| British war-stcamer to convey him to San Juan.
He goes out to complete the treaty. He will then
| negotiate Il similar one with the other Central
| American States.
| This important document is a commercial Com
vention of the most comprehensive character, and
! is reciprocal in almost all its stpulations. Its
chief object is to prevent privileges being granted
to the people OF any country that not equally
granted to British subjects. In matters of trade,
especially, the Englishman is placed by Nicaragua
par with the citizen of the most favored ma
ton. He is assured that the cvies on his mporta-
tions, the duties on his ships, or the taxes his
property, shall not exceed those imposed upon the
goods and merchandise of anv other foreigner. The
Enr rwht 70 bol1 nd fran ntn
Nicaragua is made undOubtcd; he is guaranteed full
protection in person and property; he is declared
exempt from military dues and forced loans he is
promised perfect religious freedom; his ships, if
wrecked ON the Nicaraguan coast, must not be plum
dered but must be restored to the owner: and,
in the event of war, if he obeys the law his goods
cannot be subjected either to seizure to seques
tratiOn

same manner and upon equal terms by both par
ties, and their respective subjects and citizens; the
Republic of Nicaragua, however, reserving its
right of sovereigntv over the same; and, generally,
the Republic of Nicaragua engages to grant to
