THE DOCUMENTS RELATIVE TO NICARA
GUAM AFFAIRS.


The documents transmitted to the House
on Tuesday BY the President in response to
the resolution calling for information in RE-
laton to the recent events in Central America.
includes letter from Secretary Cas-, who
saws that no treaty between the United States
and Nicaragua has as yet been ratified, and
there is no information on that subject in the
possession Of the Department which it would
be consistent with the public interest at this
time to communicates.
Several letters from Mr.. Yrasarri are in
cluded in the documents transmitted under
date Of October last. He complains ct the
Iflibustering movements. and says that the
United States can prevent new INVASION,
but not bv means OF the neutrality laws, Tor
these are too weak. Ii has only to receive a
Nicaraguan minister, in his official charac-
ter, and enter into treaty OF friendship and
commerce to protect the property of its own
citizens BY securing to them the transit
across the isthmus without interference, and
by this means flibusterism would be des-
troved. This simple act, SO just, so polite
and proper, would, he says, restore hope and
confidence TO his country, and contentmen'
and happiness 10 his people, and at the same
time secure most valuable benefits and adj
yantages to citizens of the United States.
In letter dated in November last, he
writes to Secretary Cas-, thst General Wal
ker never could have been President of Mica
ragua. because the Constitution OF the Repub'
lie excludes any one, not native OF Central
America, from the executive power. Mel.
Their in Nicaragua, or any other0f the Repub-
| lies Of Central America, is any colony desir-
ed to be formed BY General Walker or any
other person, who, like him, has dreamed oI
mastery over its lands, TO divide them
among his foreign allies. Yrasarri, therefore
protestsagainst the contemplated colonization
hy General Walker and his associates, o
Guatemala, Salvador and Nicaragua.
| In letter dated December 18th, Yrasarr
calls the attention OF Secretary Cass to Gen
eraI Walkers movements, and trusts tina
proceedings will be instituted against these
vloators Of the laws Of neutrality with tina
vgor which is required for the maintenance
or peace, and Of fair understanding between
friendly neutral nations. And on Decembel
/ 59th, he, as Minister Of Glatamala, Nicara
qua and Salvador, returns thanks to the Gov

away the adveniurer Walker and his inssdln!
band from the point OF which they had takei
possession, IN the coast OF Nicaragua, thu
relieving those friendly countries frnm th,
evils with which they would have been yisl
ted had these disturbers OF the peace Of ma
tions been allowed the possibility Of increas
ing their forces BY raw recruits.
The point from which Com. Pap,ling for
ced away these bandits. as such justly ASST
inflated by the laws Of nations 10 pirates an
fees of mankind, is an almost deserted one
on which exists no Nicaragua authorities tina
would have managed these felons in NIcara
qua. Therefore he considers the proceed
ings Of Com. Paulding against Walker an
his horde, as entirely UNSUITABLE. for a man
of-war of any nation msy take up pirate
from desert Island or point SO thin,y in
habited.
