area ard insignificant political influence, field of
great interest and a subject for numerous and deeply
important discussions, which will undoubtedly attract
general attention the part Of many maritime Powers

ousElEy's ADDRESS MARTINEZ
The Queen my august sovereign, has been graciously
pleased 10 entrust TO me the gratifying task Of cementng
the good understanding and evincing the feelings OF
friendly interest that have animated Great Britain
towards the state which your Excellency ably
pesde by concluding treaty calculated TO produce the
best effects. 1t would have been to me at any time
pleasing duty to contribute 10 such object but my
efforts will be the gladly employed a moment
when the interests OF humanity and policy call for decided
action the part OF civilized and commercial nations TO
defend this and neighboDg republics from the pratica
attacks Of awess men, the effects Of whose ruthless bar
barsm amentable TO witness The acts Of these mis-
guided adventurers have excited just indignation in the
breasts of enlightened rulers Of the powerful mari
time nations both sides Of the Atlantic, who have re-
solved that such enormes shall no longer be tolerated

and the neighborng States across the territories which
Providence has placed under their independent and law

security and neutrality OF the Transit than Great Br

her Majesty valuable possessions in the Pacific and the
vast BI sh interests IN ASIA make IL duty if not ne
cessiy for her Majesty government to the undis
turbed passage across these territories The ready par
tcpaton Of Nicaragua in this great object will call for the
efficient protection Of these routes and indeed will merit
the operation Of all commercial nations their defence

present administration SO many men Of distinguished
