APRocLAMArIoy
whereas information has reached me, from
sources which i cannot disregard, that certain
persons, In violation Of the neutrality laws Of he
United States, are ting a third attempt 10 10,
on foot military expedition within their terri.
Tory against Nicaragua, foreign State, with
which they are at peace. In order 10 obtain
money Tor equipPing and maintaining this expe-
ditlon, persons connected Herewith as I have
reason to believe. have issued and sold bonds nd
other contracts pledging the public lands of Nic-
aregua, and the transit route THROUGH it ,erritory
as security for their redemption and fulflment
The hostile design Of this expedition is rem
dered manifest by the fact that these bonds and
contracts can De OF no possible value to their
holders unless the present Government of Mica
ragua shall be overthrown by force Resides
the Envoy Extraordinary and Minister PIenipo'
tehtlary 0f that Government in the United states
has issued a notice, in Pursuance of his instruc
tlons, dated on the 9th instant, forbiddiny the
cltlzens or subJe q of any nation except passen-
gers intending to proceed through Nicaragua
over the transit route from ocean to ocean, TO
enter It's territory without a regular passport
signed by the proper M inister or Consul General
oi Tue hepunilc resident In the country from
Wiz .hey snail have departed Such persons,
WIN ihis exception, "wilf be stopped and com
PEELED 10 return by the same conveyance that
LOOK them 10 the country From these circum
stances the inference is Irresistible that persons
engaged In this expedition will leave the NJ nted
Siaes with hostile purposes against Nicar,rns
They cannot, under the guise which they bsv
assumed that they are peactfu emiprants con
Ccdl tncIE real Intentions, and especially Va hen
they know, In advance, that their landiny will
be resisted, and can only be ACCOMPLISHED nv An
overpowering force. This exp~dient was suc
csssfully resorttd to previous to the last expedi
ton, and the vessel Ia which those composing IL
were conveyed to Nicaragua obtained clearance
from the Collector Of the port Of Mobile AL
though, after a careful examination, no arms or
munitions OF war were discovered on board, vet
when they arrived In Nicaragua, they were found
to be armed and equipped and Immediately CON-
menced hostllities
The leaders Of former illegal expeditions Of
the same character have openly expressed their
lntentio on to renew hostiities against Nicaragua.
ooe OF them, who has already been twice ex-
PEELED rom Nicaragua, has invited, through the
pubic newspapers, American citizens to emil
crate TO that Republic, and has designated Mo-
pie as the place Of rendezvous and departure,
ana san Juan del Norte the port to which
they are bound This person, who has renounced
MS arrogance 10 the United States and claims to
he President OF Nicaragua, has given notice 10
the Collector Of the port Of Mobile that two or
three hundred of these emigrants will be pre.
pared to embark from that port about the middle
OF November.
For these and other good reasons, and for the
purpose OF saving American citizens who NAV
lave oeen honestly deludsd into the belief that
.i are about to proceed to Nicaragua a. peace

aS"ous consequences to which they will be e1.
