WASHINGTON. August ~, 1853.

Of the protest which his and the Costa Rican gar.

President and Mr. Cass; and az the treaty Is
arranged With the administration Sefor Jerez WI
be in position to turn his attention to the qucsos
Of the Transit.
There arc several new applicants for cAe

and some two or three express companies also. Y
SeEor Jerez is strengthened from home he may conc

Such is thought quite probable by many hers. Whist
the flibuster crowd think Of it is another thing

there is to open negotiations with George Law fo<

is said that Walker has enrolled 1900 mon, oh.sAy

| another descent on Nicaragua.
Another phase in tie history of that country MAJ
be soon developed, for Sir Gore Ouseey has rccevs&
| orders from hs government TO proceed at onos "a
Nicaragua, for what purpose II is not known; proba
| bly, not SO much 10 connection with the Tran ds -
with reference to the application of the Ncaragual
| government for aid and comfort from England asA
| France. 1t is doubtful however, whether tho
British envoy will advise them TO press that appi
cation. In the present condition OF the relationa
between this country and England 1t is likely inst
| he ~ill recommend them not TO do So new st-
tschs has been added to Sir Cores Legation.
No action has yet been decided upon in regard W
the Csss- Herysn convention. which has been re-
ceived by the Gransdisn Minister in form, for rasG.
cation. The subject is now before General GAS.
| who has had one or two conferences with GeaerA
Herran the subject II is probable that the treaty
will be ratified, as the notifications and explains
tons added by the Granadian Congress are OF little
Importance.
The original treaty has not been altered at al! but
the alterations desired In it by New Granada are
contained in q separate decree, and take thereby
the character Of on additional conference with our
government on the subject. The explanation OF .is
first article does not alter its sense or intention Is
it has never been the idea of imposing new oblsA.
lions upon that government. Those contained IN
the law OF nations and the treaty Of slC are az su
as can be desired. The object of this decars,cry
article In the new treaty was 70 counterfeit the d.
claration made by tho late administration ia New
Granada that that republic wss not responsible FOG
| injury TO foreigners by revolutions and mobs. Hais
| the present government Of New Granada comedies
In the limitation of claims made in the second
modification proposed, an error has been generally
incurred by the press by having accepte the trans
lation Of one Of the Panama papers. II merely pro-
vides that claims arising from matters connected
, with contracts hold with the New Grsnadizn
government shall not be sdjudcated by the com ~
Goners named ia the convention. This is merely In
tended to the fityninth article Of the PGnAma
Railroad Companys contract, which stipuls.es THAT
all matters connected with its execution nerprs-
talon sba DO decided by the legal tribunals OF thai
country.
The refusal to give or government permission 70
hold coal station in tbs bay Of Panama Is dis
courtesy, lut not thing that insist upon ~
right The other points presented by New 9r~
