The News fr.m Cemtrsl Au.ssoa-Desbst or
shs New Granada ana Nicar~x~a Treaties
We publish to day voluminous correspon-
denoe fr,m almost every portion of the Ameri-
can Is'bmus, containing most interesting and
important news from Nicaragua, Costa Rica
and New Granada
1t will be seen that several sudden and un-
foreseen changes have taken place in the fret
named two republics. A Frepoh envoy, Mons.
Belly. has arrived there, with full instructions
from Louis Napoleon, and has not only over
thrown the Cass- Yrisaxri treaty, but has
already settled the boundary question between
Costa RIGA and Nicaragua, induced these two
republics to unite with San Salvador upon a
plan of reorganizing the five Isthmus States
into the old Central American republic under
French protectorate called together Con-
grees of Presidents at Rivas, left Gen. Lamar
entirely out of the programme, defeated Joe
Whites agents and sent them home, tripped
Commodore Vanderbilt's man with perempto.
~ open the Transit route or leave. offered sixty
millions Of francs, French money, to open the
Transit, and held up to the astonished
gaze of the Central Americans future of
glory and power for the nation he is going
to form there, that has bewildered them complete
ly. In addition to all this, we have accounts of
Col. Kinney's new attempt to gain sovereignty
at San Juan del Norte, resulting In complete
fasco on his part, and the triumph of Mosquito
SaDbo.
From New Granada we learn that the
Cass Herran treaty has not yet been ratified
70 that, as the term for its ratification and ex-
change at Washington expires on the 10th of
June, it must lapse by default unless Gen. Her
ran negotiates with Gen. Cass an extension Of
the term
The apparition Of French protectorate in
Central America, and its sudden overthrow Of
the Cas- Yrisarri treaty, will take our Spanish
American protectionists quite by surprise; and
the sudden overthrow of the conflicting Ameri-
can interests in Nicaragua will be no doubt dis
tasteful to many. The failure of the Cass Her
ran treaty will also disappoint many who had
hoped that their claims against New Granada
would coon be settled But it cannot be denied
that we owe to ourselves in q great measure
these results In the first place, the thimble-
rigging spectators in Transit route grants
have 20 humbugged and mystifed both
our own and the Central American
governments, and have exhibited 80 much
corruption and bad faith in their pro-
ceediDgs, that everybody has become dis
gusted with them. Then, again, the class of
diplomatic representatives that we have for
years been sending to those countries has been,
with few exceptions, of the worst kind. Schem-
ing politicians, who look upon foreign mis-
sion as the means Of building up their dilapi-
dated fortunes, are never good diplomatic rep
In Central America we prepared the way for
Monsieur Belly by sending out there as Com.
missioner Mr.. Carey Jones, who quarrelled with
everybody, and pursued q course Of conduct
that brought as into contempt. After that the
Cas- Yrisarri treaty went out there when there
was NO diplomatic representative to support it;
and though one arrived there some time later,
be has been incompetent to save 1t. A similar
