To the Minister of Foreign Relations gt Nicaragua: 8 of her the Queen of Great Britaia and Ireland, acting Om behalf of the King of Mosquito, have been made to the republic of Nicaragua, with a view to de- term: by @ soli jument. the boundary between the dominions of the ing of Mosquito, and the terri. tories of the republi: i aa, have been syate- ritannic Majesty judges that terests th parties require t this point shonld no longer remain unsettied, rnd as 8 proof of the conoiliatory spirit whiob ani- mates her Britannic Majesty on this subject, it has been determined that the frontiers of the King of Mesquito, on the side of Nicaragua, and of Nicaragua on the side of uito, shall be such as they were on the 16th of Br when Nicaragua as a of Guatemala, declare Spanish monarchy. ns this basis of arrangement, the respec- uations of the two countries is determined by gislative and ecclesiastic r: lations of Nicara- | the towns and v: es which lie near ‘ders of Mosquito, and which have municipali- d curacies, will remain, as heretofore, under the jurisdiction of the government aad authorities of Ni- carsgua. ‘The imperfect geographical knowledge of the jaterior of Central America opposes, for the present, a consider- able difficulty to the determination of the latitude and longitude of the places along the eastern and north- eartern border of Nicaragua; bat circumstances re- quire that the general line of boundary should be made Known, which the government of her Majesty proposes to assert for the Misquito king, the goverument of Nicara- gua refusing to enter into an amicable disposition on the subject, and to appoint commissioners to ascertain and mark the divisional line botweem the lands of Mos- quito and the lands of Nicaragua. ‘The undersigned. her Britannic Majesty's Charge 4’Affaires in Central America, with this view, has the honor to declare to the Minister of Forelgn Relations of the supreme government of Nicaragua, that the general boundary line of the Mosquito territory begins at the northern extremity of the boundary line be- tween the district of Tegucigalpa, in Honduras, and the jurisdiction of New Segovia; and after followi the northern frontiers of New Segovia, it rans alo; the southeastern limit of the district of Martagalps and Chontales, and thence inan eastern course until it reaches the Machuca Rapids, on the river San Juan. To prevent any misunderstanding about the towns and villages comprised in the province of Nisaragua, prior to its severance from Spain in 1821. list of the curacies and their dependencies, within the diosees of Nicaragua, is afixed to this note; and only such towns and villager, with their commons or public lands, and the estates of private individuals having proper titles, as were named in that litt, lying on tl tern and northeastern frontier of Nicaragua, will be deemed to be without the limits of Mosquito, on the frontier of Nicaragua. In conclusion, the undersigned has to state that the boundaries above described are those which divide the two countries; but he repeats that Her Maj government continues willing to treat and agree with the government of Nicarague for the final settlement ot these questions, on an amicable ani pormenent basis! and the undersigned trusts that the govern. ment of Nicaragua will see the policy of coming to & friendly underrtandine with the Musquito Kin Jor it is obvious that no canal, or any other mode of tra across the Isthmus, can well be established vefore the diffi- culty raised by Niceragua upon this point is put an end to, Tam, &e,. &e.
