The News from Central America--Adventures
Of = Transat Route Grant.
Our advices from Central America, and those
of some of our contemporaries from Wall street.
are of q curious but not very clear cha
racter.
From the first named country we learn that the
Cas-. Yrisarri treaty is not yet ratified, and that
opinions differ as to its future fate; that Mons.
Belly has not got his bellyfull, and 90 has come
to New York to get taste of Bowling Green
Commodore; that Presidents Mora and Mar
tinez have certain rebellious subjects in their
domains whom they expect soon to have to take
in hand; that General Lamar wants to come
home, but will hold on little longer in hopes
that something will turn up; that several peo-
pie have got the Transit route at last, and each
of them are going to put 1t in operation at
once-Mr. Fitzgerald is putting the route in
order for Stebbins or Joe White; somebody
else has got the one steamboat that is left for
Com. Vanderbilt; and that no one really knows
what is going to happen. From Wall street our
contemporaries learn-and are said to have paid
two hundred dollars for the news-that
Commodore Vanderbilt has got the route
n his breeches pocket, out of which he
took, in order to make room for it, 500, 900
and sundry knick knacks-all of which he sent
down to Central America by the Philadelphia
q few days since, as present to President
Martinez.
All this news may be very clear to somebody
but we can see in it nothing but confusion. As
for Central America, it seems very probable
that another political revolution is preparing
there, while Walker is preparing in the South
Martinez Cabinet has broken up, his Congress
has thrown out his last grant to Mons. Belly
and the members from Leon seem ready to
break out into open rebellion. As for the Transit
route grant, it has been 30 often finally and ir-
revocably settled that we begin to doubt its
settlement at all. First, the "house OF Wander
bilt " had it sure, and Capt. Spencer came home
to get his $4,000. Then Webster and Young
Anderson had 1t but they split, and it fell out
Then again Morgan had it through his son-in-
law, Harris, assisted by Webster. Something
went wrong, and Vanderbilt sent his son-in-
law, Allen, to look after it with the same Mr.
Webster. They got it certain; but somehow
Stebbins was found to be in possession of it, for
6chlessinger brought it to him. Then nobody
had it till Joe White was said to have rode the
Cass Yrisarri treaty to victory. Suddenly
we heard that Mons. Belly had beat all
the Yankee Commodores and cooked it up in
French stew. Besides all these, Manning the
British Consul at Leon, took it home to London
with him, and at last we hear from Wall street
that 1t has turned up safe in Commodore Van
derbilts breeches pocket.
Now, our opinion about the Nicaragua Trsnsft
route grant and its holders is the same as our
opinion about the little pea and the three
thimbles. Nobody can guess which Thin
BILE the little joker is under. We are
glad Mons. Belly has come here to take
q part in the game, and we hope that he
will give the Transit route workers a specimen
of his astronomical diplomacy, and touch of
his known opinion about American rapacity.
We hope he will do another little thing.
When we first proclaimed, some months since,
that he was going to Central America as a
great French diplomat, Mons. Sartiges, the
French Minister at Washington, wrote on here
to inquire who Mons. Belly was Now we trust
that he will enlighten Mons. Sartiges, and make
himself known at the Legation as well as in Gen.
trail America. AS for those republics, we be-
neve that they are about going into another
grand fight among themselves, and that the
Transit route is not yet open.
