though that Wet ld seem 10 be matter Of little cen
sequence if if be true, a, alleged, that the harsoe
OF Grey town, which alone makes this Mosquito Pro-
tectorate of any consequence, is rapidly filing up.
Al the same time, while our Cas-, Yrisssrr Tre.ty
LES unrstifed, and not only unraiided, bat given
over as dead, Sir Wiliam Goie Odseey has
already cbssibei that privilege Of military inter
ference for England which Mr. Csss 30 coveted,
but which. 70 u. the Nicsrsggan Government WAS
unwilling TO grant Moreover, the intefatigible
Mr.. Belly bss actually arrived TO commence opera
ticu. on his canal bringing fifty Freedmen with
tim snd expecting monthly insia.lments OF As many
more. The Forts of Castillo and Others on the
Transit route have been given up, 1t IS said for the
sccommo6 alton of these Frenchmen, while tie
White steamers have been seized and the American
fig. which they bore pulled down. These White
stesmers are. We suppose, the old Transit
steamers captured By the Costa Ricsns during the
war sgsinst Walker, and subsequently transferred,
under some sort Of an agreement, TO tie old canal
COMPANY. II such il the case, IL is quite possible
that these steamers may have been seized because
they were not paid for, or on account OF some
other failure in the agreement under which tue
trsusfer Wa, made. As to pulling down the Amer
ican Gsg, we are little puzzled to know Whist right
trey could have had to wear It. They might have
been American vessels when they went out to
Nicar,sus. but, barring the effect upon their rs.
tioual charsc.er by their transfer from the high
seas 10 the internal waters of Nicsragus, there IS
this additional difficulty in the way-they have
since been captured BY the CO,ta Ric,ns, which
OF course DESTROYED their American character; nor
would the purchase back of the hulls by an
American citizen make them American vessels, or
give the u any right to hoist the American dag
There is, however, an explanation given of the
seizure ofthese steamers which would seem to fur
nish full justification Of it. Nlcsrsgus has been
for some time threatened with new flhbuster H.
yssion from San Francisco, point upon which the
Government would naturally feel little FESTIVE, as
William Walker originally came by that route. The
United States ship Decatur having appeared of the
Pacific coast, was naturally enough, mistaken for a
fllibuster. The President put troops in motion to
present landing, and, mindful what use had
formerly been made Of the vessels on the transit
route, orders were cent to the two which have
alone survived the late troubles TO anchor under
the guns of Fort ssh Carlos. A, the persons in
chsrge of there vessels did not see fit to obey these
order. the authorities sen. file OF soldiers to sec
that they were carried into execution.

the language of that great regeneration William
Walker, but it seems at least quite as worthy OF

harm. which is more than can be SAID Of some other
adyenturers thither.
