BY the arrival Of the Moses Taylor at this port yea
terdsy We have received important news from Cen
trail America and New Granada. The latest dates
are, San jose, Costa RIGA, March 81; San Juan del
Sur, April 2; San Juan del Norte, April IL; Pana-
ma, April le, and Aspinwall, April TO-
On inquiry Of parties in this city interested in the
grant for the Nicaragua Transit route We have az
certained the following faets:-- 'tr~
The treaty made between Nicaragua and the
United States, on the 18th Of November, 1857, be-
tween Mr.. Yrisarri and Gen. Csss, was ratified on
the 26th Of March, 1885, by the Legislature of Mica
ragua.
The contract between the American, Atlantic and
Pacific Ship Canal Company and the State of Mica
ragua, giving the exclusive grant Of the Transit
route to that company, made on the 10Th of June,
1866 has been ratified by the Legislature of Nicara
qua, and received the Presidential signature. A
conditional contract between the State of Nicaragua
and the company had also been ratified by the
Legislature and sanctioned by the Executive Oh the
29th of January last.
Commodore Vanderbilt's efforts to obtain the
grant have thus been defeated, aud his agent, Mr.
Webster, had left the country. Webster attempted
to obtain from the government even a contingent
contract, to be used in case the Canal Company
should not go and put the route in operation But
the State refused, and has sent full power to their
Minister at Washington, Mr.. Yrisarri. to extend the
time for putting the route into operation long as
the Canal Company may deem necessary.
The State has seized the properly of the old AZ
cessory Transit Company for claims due from the
Accessory Company to the State, and commission
have been appointed TO value the boats, with
view to their sale to the Canal Company. The re-
port of the Commissioners duly expected by Mr..
Body, the agent of the Canal Company who was
fully authorized TO negotiate for that purpose.
Webster after the Loss of the San Carlos on Lake
Nicaragua, repudiated the agreement he had made
on behalf of Vanderbilt for the purchase of the lake
boats La Virgin and San Carlos, and the steamboats,
Ogden and Morgan, and protested against the pay
ment of the 100000 which had been agreed upon.
The government, therefore, took the matter in hand
and opened negotiations for the sale of the boats
with Mr. Body. the agent OF the Canal Company.
