The ‘ederal constitution was proclaimed in November, 1824, aud the new Coogrees elected under its au- thority was installed in February, 1825. Costa Rica and Nicaragua became two of the States of the new federation The State of Costa Rica, alo States o} » Salvador, and Honduras, had completed thew domestic legis+ latures prior to the close of 1824 Not so Nicara- Qua; it sull remained unconsituted; an intestine ‘war was carried on between each of the districts which formed part of the ancient province of that name Each towa or village had its chief, who Was supreme, and waged war against the rest. This lasted, more or less, until the year 1826. Meanwhile, the district of Guanacaste, which, ua- der Spain formed part of the province of Sicamgen, kept aloof trom this anarchy aad carnage. Unequ to stand elone—unable to obtain protection from a State which had yet no existence, it declined to form part of it, and, exercising the new-born right of free election, it_ incorporated itself, unsolicited, with the State of Costa Kiea. lt did so in time to retura_memoers to its first domesue legislature ; aud while, im the «istricts which now compose the State of Nicaragua, society etill remained dis- solved, and an universal confusion prevailed, it joined with the remainder of Costa Rica in return- lng members to the tederal Congress. the course taken by Guanacaste was brought betore the federal Congress when the representa- tives of Nicaragua were present, and its contiauing aunexed to Costa Rica was duly sancuoned. In- deed, in a Congress composed of members of new States, owing each its existence alone to the popu- Jar voice, which had destroyed the constituted go- vernment under which they were born, no other course than the recognition of the nataral and in- veut Heb. Of each district to elect for itself the to which it would adhere, could have been i-sated, consistently with their own origin. _ We hove tated thet the federal tie was dissolved ip Le83; the port of San Juan, which had been just previously seized upon from Mosquito, Magee 1b pS -eesion Of the Niceragaaus, unul their expule ein trom thence on the ls of January, 1548. ‘The Nicarayuans, while in possession of that pot, managed to drive away nearly all commerce pquence of the Capricious exactions custom house it established, and the tyranu rreised, On one known occasion, in 1841, United States ships had to apply to the King squite, then otf the harbor in a British man- © for protection, Which was afiorded by the diepersion of the Nicaraguan force Oa another, m 1847, a French gentleman, the Vis- count de Barruel Beauvert, was obliged to apply tothe Consul General of Mosquito, Mr. Walker, »btain his son’s release from prison, into wh.ch d been throwa by the Nicaraguan Comm ine caut at Port Sen Juan, for haviag refused to * re- ceive bed money as good,” Mr Walker stating in his de patch to Lord Palmerston, that he had 1 om British subjects, rrogant aud exacting conduct pursued there, and receatly ove trom Boson Bulow ‘The arrogance of their conduct to the ence sister Ssaie of Costa Nica, is almost inconceivable, were it vor for the known jenlousy entertained by Nica- regua at its tranquillity and progress. The grow- ivy trade and increasing resources of Costa ica had rendered it an important object for her to have a good port on the Atlantic coast for herpreduce to Kurope. The port of Matina is not sufficiently sate, capacious, and healthy, fora com- meretal entrepot. Already had the Costa Rican since their independence, made a good cart-ro from their capital, San Jose, to the port of Punta Arenas, on the Pacific, a distance of 90 miles. ‘This, it should be remarked, is highly to their pracse, as all the other roads in Central America “had frequent con are to this day but mule tracks. Costa Rica having introduced the growth of coffee, and finding that, from its superior quality, 1t bad become her staple produce, and of considerable European sale, be- cay e desirous to avoid the necessity of a coatiaued use of the long, expensive, often perilous voy- arround Cie Horn The Costa Rica people, t ercfore, proposed to make another road, for pub- Jo couveyanees, ot GO mmles in length, from San Jose to the river Sarapiyui, which flows into the St. John, and whence their prodace could be float- ed down in barges to Port St. John, since called Grey Town, and thence shipped for Europe, in ex- change for ma tured articles. But this was preventeo—the Nicaraguan government refusing to eneble Costa Rica to export or import by this chan- rel! Thos the enterprise was for the time aban- dened, Qa the Mosquito king, however, reeover- ing possession of thia port, the Costa Rica govern- ment proposed to Teka this road, and Nicaragai t so far as to threaten them with war, if they did vot desist from this intention She stopped rt with the threat, and the contract for this roal is pow in the hands of Briush subjects. Its completion will be of the utmost advantage Grey Town.

Ai death of Mr. alker, a gentleman wh dered valuable services to Mosquito, Mr. C! ie having succeed- ed as her Majesty’s Agent and Consul General in Mosquito, was sent in Septem mission to Costa Rica and Ni tion of the common interest mutual friendly intercouree of those countries:, He was received by M. Castro, the President of ta Rica, wath every consideration, the whole the capital turning out to welcome itish agent. Far otherwise in Nicaragua. . Christie was met, on his arrival at Leon, b¥’@ letter from the Minister, the superseription of which did not re- eoguise his official utle, and th tents informing hum that, as an accredited ageng to Mosquito, the government would not recognige him officially, but would a him all the attenuom due to a distin- gmahed British subject. Mr. tie, in reply, de- clared he would quit Leon in days, except this decision were reversed ; a second letter being addressed to him in tard a similar Superscription to the first, he ret it unopened, and left the place. Costa Rica has since then sent an Envoy to England, M. Mohn: ith a view to promote closer ties of amity with country. But to return to the projects of munications between the two great oceans... The United States have already got three av: le routes to the Pacitic, one for a railway acro: eir own ters ritory, to San Francisco, on the 3 @ second ucross the isthmus of Tehuantepeg,. for shipping; and @ third across Panama, for ecg rath a it desirable, is it safe, that they shoul cae the fourth also, the shipping way by ore ‘own? They have exclusive advantages and leges by the three first; they are in the hands of their owa citizens; and by the stipulations mad@ for the Panama project, we see how. their gontrolling power is likely to be used in giving pi ces te their own shipping and traffic. Thus tract with Nicaragua, and the vague and_ clause adverted to, we may perceive how easily such changes and addttions may be “ here 3 made, as would (in the language of the of Te- por throw into the warehouses and shi of the United States the entire commerce ot ae ¢ fic ocean.” It is clearly, therefore, a necessary and mount interest of Great Britain and Europe at large, that an independent route should ob- tained—a route which, while equally open to Um- ted Stat shipping and all the world, should te- main free from her arbitrary control As pee British connection with Mosquito, may be briefly stated, to date from an early period subsequent to the conquest of Jamaica by Crom+ well; suspended in the year 1786, it was thirty anes cag ah Epi eaves. Pld Eine of Spain having long betore lapsed, throu; e failure of her plans, and the abandonment ot her eflorts, official relations were renewed with the Morquito king by Sir George Arthur, then Governor et Honduras. From that time down to the preseat moment the independence and se; te existence of Mosquito has been recognised by all British authorities. In 1843, at the solicitation of the King, and with a view to the developement among his people of all the blessings of civilization, her Majesty was advised, under Lord Aberdeen, to revert to the system which prevailed before 1786, and uppoint a resident as her representative near the King. Thus the mutual obligations of Great Britam and Mosquito. became confirmed and strengthened ; and, taking a review of the whole of the facts, we must say, if the Mosquito Indians have no title to their independence, after having maintained it for two centuries, and part of the time against one of the most pewertul nations of the globe—then there is no certainty or security in those rules of international right, which have hith- erto been deemed sacred and inviolable by the na- \ tions of Europe, and which have been honored in the practice of the statesmen, and adorned by the writings of some of the most illustrious citizens of the United States, Postscript —Thureday, 13th December, 1849. Since the foregoing was first published, a de- spatch of Mr. Chatfield’s to the Nicaraguan go- vernment has reached this couatry, in which the fact of Spain not having recognised the indepen- dence of the Central American States is noted; itis thus placed beyond question, that none of them can derive rights through her. ‘This morning, a mail from New Yark states that @ party Americans wrecked on the Mosquito shore, had proceeded 30 miles in the interior, and burnt an Indian town, on account ot wrongs al- leged to have been done them on the coast. The king had gone to the spot to obtain particulars of this wanton and lawless act. C Intelligence has also arrived of the island of Tigre, in the Guif of Fonseca, on the Pacific and in a commanding position on that coast, hav- ing been ceded by the State of Honduras to the United States. The argument used to induce this cession, Mr. Squier avows to have been, that it was about to be appropriated by England in pay- ment of debts due to British subjects! So mach for the motive—as regards the act, it seems strangely inconsistent with raising any question es to the rights of Eogland on the Moequito terri tory, derived, too, as these are from the aboriginal possesrors | a ek iN Our Seuth American Correspondence, Cunacoa, Dee. 4, 1849. Description of Curacoa—Its Houses, Productions, Commerce, &¢.— Gold Mines—Cochineal, &e. Long es I have been in the habit of reading your columns, I do not know that I ever saw any- thing particular in them regarding this curious old Dutch place ; and though I will not pretend to give you a fulland complete account of it, still 1 will endeavor to impart some general information about it. The island of Curacoa is among what are termed the Windward Islands of the Antilles, and i® ated in north latitude 12 deg 6m. 12s., wes longitude 63 deg. 58m. 34s. It belongs to the Netherlands, whose West Indian possessions are composed of this island, and those of Boa Ayre, Aruba, St. Eustatins, aad part of St. Martins, Duteh Guyana on the Main, of which Paramaribo is the capital, is the only possesion of the Nether lends on the South American continent. My business new, however, is more especially with, Carac he only town on the island i situated on the eouthern side of it, and is one o the most curiously built towns I have ever been mm. The entrance to the harbor is quite narrow and is guarded by torts; the harbor itself consist of a species of lagoon or Mediterranean sea, the entranee to which is the narrow mouth of the har- when in exile, published @ very use. | 1 from it tothe world, ‘The Prince's atten- ; bor; this extends in a considerable dis- tonee, “ : sufficient ng A My ie vessels of large tonnage. ‘inal eity of Wilimstaed, 1 ba rt at it in carrenseed on three sides by water, it is also a walled city, und the fort and government house is sitaated in it Like other cities, however, it has its suburbs, which are bueilt along the borders of the lagoon, and Otra Banda, Searlo, and Petremaya form these ee they may be termed the * "h town” of Curacoa, whilst the Punda or Wilhamstaed tis the Me town’ of business part. In consequence of the yecutionty of the sitaanon of buildings in these suborbs on the shores of the lagoon, you can go from one part to another either by land or wa- ter; a the latter is the easiest mode of moving about in this warm climate it is the most in vogue, #0 (sperking Hibermee) all our cabs and horess here are boats and negroes. The boats are built seow fashion and propelled by means of a single cont. worked seulling fashion by the nore boatmen, hey are very dexterous in the use of the oar, and = © a long distance with them for a mere ulfle. ‘The houses are very enriously built; externally they ere similar to the old Dutch buildings yet to be seen in come parts of the State of New York. They are all tiled with red tiles, in true Dateh tote, and their gable «nds generally are towards the street. Internally they are arranged in the i India style of large rooms, high ceil- mer. &e The climate of the Island is undoubtedly the nest selubrious of any in the western hemis- phere, if not in the whole world, especially for | thoee laboring onder any affection of the lungs or our pastege, aod rarely does an invalid who comes here before disease has made much havoc with him, depart without feeling cool, even temperature of the place. Itis quite a dry climate, the rainy season never being very se- vere—u few passing showers once or twice during the 24 hours constituting this season, aud this only Jasts three or four pa during the year. The culture of the Island consists in the raising of corn, various kinds of vegetables and fruits, such a8 are common te all seotieal climates, and the cochineal insect. This latter article was Introduced some eight years since by Governor Von adere, he, t that bie was chiens cme vere and to his untiring zeal and ene: inhabitants are indebted for this impoitea addition ww then means of prosperity. Governor Von R. demon- strated practically the value of this crop and the capability of the island to produce, and the govern- ment plantations on the neighboring islam is oF ou Ayre and Aruba are now in successful operstion Though such a comparatively short space of time has elapsed since the commencement of the experi- ments, the government plantations now». «| their own expenses, and last year some $20,000 worth of cochineal over and above. Private in- dividuals are following the example of the govern- ment, and no doubt, ere many years, the cochineal crop from the islands of Caracoa, Bon Ayre and Alube. will be very large and profitable. “At pre- sent. L believe, the principal supplies of this valu- able dyestuff are received from Mexico. . The trade and commerce of the island is main'y in the hands of Hebrews. It is a free port in every Tespect—no customhouse, no duties, port-charges, or anything to impede commerce. Being situates within a day or two’s sail trom the Spanish Vain, it thus forms a very convenient depot for goods jestined for those markets, as well as for oiner ds. The greater part of the cargoes of pro- visions, &c., that are brought here from the United States, are reshipped again, either to Ve- nezuela, New Granada, or some of the other islands ; the rest is consumed here. Returns are made m goat-skins, salt, mahogany, dyewoods, &e. The salt is made here and at Bon Ayre ; in both places there are extensive salt-pans. The other articles are mostly brought up from the Span- ish Main, whence they are sent, I presume, in payment for goods purchased here. Besides this trade, there is direct intercourse carned on with Holland, and European ports generally, from whence manufactured goods are received. In consequence of trading with so many different flags, it is necessary for a merchant here to under- stand three or four languages at least. The Hol- land Dutch is the official language, besides which, French, English, and Spanish, are continually in use ; and the usual “household” language is the ‘papiamento,” which I can only describe by saying, that if you take an equal quantity of Eng- lish. Dutch, French, and Spanish, put them all together im a handmill, and grind them out, without reference to fei ar mood, or tense, the resulting compound would be a slight approxi- mution to the “ papiamento.”” ? By the way, [may as well mention about the lacers which are in existence on the island of Aru- fe close by here. It is an absolute fact that a vast deal of gold has been found on it, and occasion- ally, even now-a-days, quite sizeable lumps are found, ayes Jumps that would not disgrace Califor- mia itself, Here is a chance for gold hunters who fear going round the Horn or across the Isthmus. Some yevrs ago, alump of gold, weighing thirty pase was picked up on Aruba, and quite lately, understand, a good deal was washed out. News from the Main we have none,now-a-days. Our accounts from Laguayra and Puerto Cabello, some six or seven days since, represent everything very quiet there. Monagas and Paez are easy.— The latter hasbeen exiled, it is said, though I have not heard from reliable sources what has been done with him. We have some two hundred Venezue- lan refugees here at present. None of them are men of great note. They are quite enough ; and, as faras can be judged here, Venezuela seems to be returning to its wonted peaceful condition — From New Granada, we have no news either.— After the Ist of January, the communication bi tween this port and the English West India Islands will be much more frequent than it is now, in con mwence of the new navigation laws going into tfiect, Then we shall hear more quickly frem the various ports of the Caribbean shores than we do by the my next letter, I shall give you a few more items regarding Curacoa. For the present, 1 think I haye written sufficient for one dose. Much re- mains to be said on general subjects. Our Guatemaia Correspondence. Gvarema.a, October 15, 1849.

Notwithstanding, the robbers made a descent on this city yesterday morning, the greater part of which entered, whilst the rest kept watch outade, robbing and murdering indiscriminately for about two hours, after which they seampered off in an easterly direction with their booty. The govern- ment was duly apprised of the intention of the robbers, the day before it took place, yetsuch is the utter worthlessnees of the authorities, that no pre- parations whatever were made to meet the attack; and such the immoral state of society, and want of confidence in one another, that they hide them- selves, instead of uniting in ene body for self- defence. In this city alone, 3,000 men might be raised at the tap of the drum, did they possess the least spirit of eell-defence. ° Such is the deplorable state of things here, that we are faet falling into the condition of our neigh- bors in Yucatan.
