RIvAs, (Niearagua,) May 12, 1860.
EdttoT Star: In the midst of the excitements of
Washington city, here comes voice from Mica
ragua claiming space In your popular journal to
be heard, and craving the attention of our "good
and great friend,'' Mr.. Lewis Cass, Secretary of
State, to inform him, and all others that are in
any wise interested, that the Transit across this
lsthmus is not opened, and in fact never will be
opened as long as Uncle Samuel, through his
Ministers, place belief in the promises Of the
members OF the present faithless Government of
Nicaragua-in short, the honorable Alexander
Dimitry has been duped, be has not succeeded in
his mission. The extra session Of the General
Assembly OF Nicaragua was convened for the
express purpose of arranging definitely the Transit
question; and they settled it by knocking the con-
tract I'm the head, and buried IL in the tombs of
the Capulets. These liberal gentlemen members
Of the Senate and House of Deputies went further
fearing that their Immaculate President might
possibly be charmed by the syren voice of Wall
street. they decreed that his Excellency should
neither ratify or entertain any convention on this
subject until their meeting in January next in
consequence whereof Mr.. Dmitry has returned
10 Costa Rica, there to ruminate and expatiate in
silence upon the failure of his pet project Mica
ragua, however, has been caught in her own trap
by the rejection Of the Lamar Zeledon treaty at
Washington. What an endless fund of am1se-
ment il would have been for these honorable gen
tlemen to have procured the ratification Of that
treaty and the Transit question unsettled Astute-
ness is their forte but this time it proved at fault
The very few Americans in Nicaragua are
moving away as best they can; the country is
going to the dogs, and unless their ancient friend
''Uncle William turns up before long this
lovely portion of the earth will be lost 10 man kind
and civilization.
MIR. Ran Runnels, United States Consul at San
Juan del Sur, is doing all in his power to assist
our destitute citizens in leaving the country I
can vouch for his activity in guarding the interests
OF his countrymen. He fully merits this notice at
the hands Of your correspondent, and 1t is there
fore given with pleasure
The late Executive of Costa RIGA, Juan Rafael
Mora, has issued proclamation, dated from Sal
vadsr, Informing his partisans that he has relin-
qulshed his Intention Of returning to that epublic
am Informed that the present provisional gov
eminent is popular, and quiet and confidence
reign supreme
The nited states steam-frigate Lancaster called
at San Juan del Sur on the LIST instant bound for
Guayamas. The Flag Officer, Capt Montgomery,
and the commanding officer, Capt Rudd, visited
the United States Consulate; both gentlemen look
remark ably well, and will no doubt sustain their
well-deserved reputation, should Miramon give
'neh occdsloh yours. &c, NICARAGUA.
