by modest paragraph, in the form OF an ON
Cial decree, in one corner of the dingy little
Gaceta Official, of Nicaragua, of the LIST of
December last. In few and simple words it
gives the sequel of what so long figured in the
newspapers of two continents as the Central
American Imbroglio:"-
TIM PRrsup1sr REPUBLIC NICARAGUA TO ms ISuAm
In compliance with the provisions of article of the
treaty with her Britannia Majesty celebrated on the 2sh
of January last relative to the territory Of Mosquita
Articlel The port of San Juan del Norte is hereby
constituted free port for the commerce OF all nations
under the regulations established by said treaty
Dated IN MANAGuA, Nov. "a, 1850 TOMAS MARTINEZ
And thus terminates the eventful history of
San Juan de Nicaragua, to be called by the
hated name of "Greytown" no more forever.
Like the hero of fashionable novel, it has
survived all combats and catastrophes, and
should now be happy and peaceful in its new
and respectable character of free port,
thronged with the commerce of all nations.
But its beatitudes have come too late. The in
vading sea has broken down the sandy barrier
which protected the harbor, and vessels can no
longer enter it. And, instead Of surging
wheels of steamers and tapping sails, the ALI
gator disports in his old haunts, and we see the
white wings of drowsy seabirds The few
sallow inhabitants who remain will evince no
Joy in returning to their ancient allegiance.
They have all, however, "a claim" on the Uni
ted States government for large damages in
flicted by the Hollins bombardment, the hope
of receiving which will probably prove great
comfort to their latter years. as well as to those
of their children after them, even to the third
generation.
