There was but little or no news in Ncaragus.
Sir Wm Gore Ouseley was at Leon, where, with
his family he had taken up a residence. Gen
Lamar had gone to Masaya. There was an aban
dance Of rumors in regard to the mission of Sir
VIM. Ouseley the Cass- Yrssarri treaty and Other
matters, which, if they had any foundation in truth
would be considered quite important.
In regard to the Transit route, there is little TO
communicate, and that of no Importance.
The Government of Nicaragua has removed tho
customs Offices from the town to Point Icacos, tho I
their intention 10 make it a free port but tbs
proposition meets with great deal Of opposition
from those residing in the larger cities in the south
ern portion OF the State.
The only news from this Republic was the d,.
agreement between State and Church, resutBgn N
the expulsion Of the head of the latter to msrs
coDgeDisl region. 1t appears that for the supper.
of the Hospital of San Lorenzo at the CsPto,
the Government issued decree, sanctioned by tb
Congress- taxing in aid Of the said charity, th
different curacies, the principal ones $40, and th,
subordinate 50 a month. To this the Bishop De.
INJURED, and the padres taking the cue, mountd
their pulpits and denounced the Government bt
what they considered outrage against relga
and the privileges Of the Church Nor did tb,,
stop here; they openly preached rebellion to thef
fOcks and exhorted their audiences 10 OvertbDz
an authority which would not acknowledge tht
Church as independent of all civil law. IL coaa
not, therefore, be expected that the GOvernmebL
who have remedy for such cases, would alles
such a state Of things to continue. The remedy
was applied. A day or two previous TO our a.
rival the Bishop, who, at best is n refractory sub
ject, with his principal aders and abstters in dis
ObeyiDg aud preaching against the law were sd'
vised that change of diocese would be Of SERVED

Acting upon the suggestion, they determined

they failed TO find here.
