The Guuno Dispute between the Valted) States Pere. jugust 25. | application was made to the Bereign Office, onthe part of certain mevehants of this opantry for information ting the terri- terial sovereignty of the Lobos . These de- welate and w itable rocks, rising from the Beuth Pacific at a distance, in one case, of fifteen, and, in the otber, of forty miles from the coast of Pore, erry lin mynd invested er an big tect inary value, ‘easing use of guano. Their etherwies unproductive surface was found to be @overed with thick ] i i and, as no vestiges ip eesnible on their shores, it was naturally inquired whether tho rights of possession were vested by the iples of bli Jaw in any particular State, or i the its were not the common property - @f all who chose to seek them. The rights in quee- ‘thon were claimed by the republic of Peru on the of contiguity, recognized dominion, and such a b apecies of occupany as cireumstances permit- ted. ese grounds will be found exemplified more plainly as we proceed, but the Foreign Secretary, after due consideration of the ease, returned for an- swear to the applicants aforesaid, that the Peruvian ile prpeared prima facie to be vaiid, and that con- Bequently, “however advantagecus it might be to @reat Britain to appropriate these islands or deciare common property, it was impossible for her majesty’s government to violate international law fer national interest.” About the same time, or a little later, a similar application was.made in the United States by James ©. Jewett, captain cf a trading vessel, who, on be- shali of his tellow-citizens of New York, requested My. Webster to furnish bim with similar informa- ‘tien in satisfaction of similar euriosity. Mr. Web- ster replied to Captain Jewett by a communication whieh, for ‘‘ important” though unspecified reasons, he desised should be more private, but which, cither in the American view of confidential intercourse or sfrem come relaxation of the conditions originally amaposed, has been published at full length in the New York journals. In this Jetter the Becretary States that his department was not aware that the Lebos Isiands were either discovered or occu- pied by Spein or Peru, or that the guano on them bad ever been used ior mwanue on the adjacent coast or elsewhere.” ‘Their distance,” be adds, “from the continent is five or six times greater than is necessary to make thew a dependen- @y thereof pursuant to the public Jaw;” and he pro- eceds to suggest that, “on the other band, itis quite probable that Benjamin Morsell, jun, who, as master of the schooner Wasp, of New York, visited these islands in September, 1823, may justly cla} to have been their discoverer” ‘Under these clk: e@ameiances,” continues Mr. Webster, “it may be the éuty of this government to proteet citizens of the United States who may visit the Lobos Islands for the sake of obtaining guano;” which “duty,” be -ebeerves, “will be the moore apparent when it te con- -ai@ered that the consumers in this country might -poobably obtain it for half the Feige they now.pay, paso net dor the charges of the Peruvian govern- ment.” The reader will hardly fail to remark how aceu- wately this comeluding * consideration” coincides with that which induced the same statesman to @efend the encroachments of New Hogland fisher- men upon waters not their own; but the whole communication is characterized by such laxity of political argument that it would have been more ive to Mr. Webster’s reputation if the pri- vacy originally beepoken for it had been more wigorourly observed. Two grounds are notified by rican Secretary as warranting the traders of the United States in taking guano from the Lo- bos Islands without paying for it. One of these— that of prior discovery—we may very briefly dismiss; for, not to dwell on the ludicrous assumption that lands within forty miles of a well-known coast in a well-frequented sea, should have remained unde- tected till the days of George IV., it is very elear that “‘ Benjamin Morell. jun.,” can have little credit for introducing the world to the islands which were set down in common mape under their Spanish names for many years before he was born. Nor isthe other argument much stronger. Mr.’ Webster simply remarks in depreciation of the Peruvian claim, that his department was ‘* not aware” of any circumstan- ees constituiing its validity. Perhaps not; but, as few de; ments have the advantage of omniscience, it would surely not have been injudicious to have in- Stituted some inquiries before proceeding on this negative ‘evidence to demolish the property of an independent State in its own alleged possessions ere Was incontestebly a primé facie ease in favor of the Peruvian goverument, ag inherior of the Spenish cominie hese islands lay off its own courts, they we lled by dese names (Lobos de Tierra aud Lobos Hither and the Further Lob Afuera,—the | they had never ragua, Jong to ‘on the Pacific, about nine miles to the north of St. Juan de} Sud, and nearly 1) miles due west from the town of Nicaragua The ennal is calculated to be ¥7 feet deep, 00 feet broad at tho duttom, and 7! at the surface.

The heights here given by Colonel Childs, the American engineer, (the lake 108 feet,) differ considerably from these given by Baifey and others; but of this more at some other time. Although important, it is not of serious consequence as regards the main point, namely—the practicabsity of the undertaking . The calculation of the expense of completing the whole of the width and depth mentioned, with swith doeks and harbors on each side, is $31,538,319, or £6,570,438, whieh, taking ten years as the time for construction, would, with interest, make up pro- ‘bably £9,000,000 as the capital laid out by a com- pany before any return would or could coming. sage to vessels of the very first clase, and largeet dimensions. Jt must be this, or it will not serve ‘either a useful and profitable parpose. Now, in our bumble opinion, the depth and the width is a great deal too little. There must be room in it to allow two vessels to pass each other without difti- culty, otherwise a great delay must take if ships going conirary ways are compelled to weit till the cana) is clear for them. The depth muyet be a! jeaet ten feet more to carry ships of the highest tonnage, and double its width will be jisite to allow the largest steamers to pass each other; and this being the case, the expense of constructing the cane) will be almost doubled. These points had best be considered at the onset, otherwise failure may ensue from want of funds, a result which, in such an undertaking, would be much to be deplored. With the great outlay last alluded to, it will require a very large income to make the work remunera- tive.” The estimate, also, of the ycarly trade with all places likely to use this canal, £150 000,000, is ven papers d much teo high, as to what the traffic can possibly afford for a very Jong period to come. Such a trafic nearly 5,000,000 of tonnage, or 1,106 ships passing through the canal daily. The water of Lake Nicara- ua wight feed one part, but most certainly not all the waters of the Lajas, the Rio Grande, and the Tols (the two latter take their course to the Pacitis, near Brito) the other, or the western portion.

When the viceroyalty of Mexico revolte froin Spain, and subsequently Guatemala, er Central Awmerica, including, a5 it did, Costa Rica, the latter division of Mexico set up (that she might have two strings to her bow, fur the surest communication between the Atlantic and the Pacific), arbitrary and unjustifiable claims for territory, to the south- ward on the Atlantic, comprising in them a portion of Bocasdel Toro. These Chatield g-cedily laid held sul Chattield's sing more faliy of (the fiction is caleulated simply to geceive others) | ‘ng correct, as may be seen in his first*letter (p. 32), where he bounds Central America, and consequently Costa Rica, by that River Chiriqui which enters the sea near the south-west point of the great on of Chiriqui, and thie he did with the Admiralty survey of that lagoon before him, placing the whole in the government of New Grenada. te ies before us a map of Guatemala, constructed, a! stated, from the archives of Guatemala, and published by Arrow- smith in 1826, with the pointed notandum by him that it was, as it really was, generally incorrect, and which has the boundary delineated as Chatfield first ave it, and which was no doubt the ground-work of is whole story. Subsequently, when he got the | Admiralty survey (Barnet’s) of the whole of that part of the coast (see letter Sept. 29, 1817,)namely, sheet 11, he found several other rivers called Chiriqui entering the sea to the eastward, and he grasps tne most eastern, about 42 miles from the former and 70 miles eastward from the proper boundary of Central America, and this he does with the survey, sheet No. 11, laying before him, where the correct boun- dary between Costa Rica and Veraguas is laid down at the point where all the accurate authorities we eight miles west of the mouth of the Boca del Toro.

If ar- jangemente could be carried out ima proper spirit by the several powers, there can be little doubt that the political and francis] porition of Mexico would equally experience a vast umelioration; and that the revival of her trade and commerce would be productive of immense mutual advantage. To see such a reeult scoompliched by the joint action of the great commercial powers of the world would be asight productive of feelings of the highest tifeation. and strongly calculated to streagthen the easing wish for the genera) preservation of harmony amongst the nations of the earth.

In his published orders, bo re- presents the conduct of the people of MiddJe Fo- rida as ‘* infinitely humiliating ;” and the people “wild with fear,” possessed of *‘ a disease so gene- [yal and co degrading.” i This is not the usual language of a major general commanding on our frongicrs, and should not, under any circumstances, be resorted to, whatever nay have been the disappointments and wounded eensi- Pilities of a commanding general. I ask upon what Fy ity be says there were just ‘five Indians,” who have produced that. consternation, panie, and flight, of which he has drawn a picture so derogato- to the whole population? It is well known that the Indians never show their whole force; and if five have penetrated into the country from the In- dian boundary, to within a few miles of the seat of ‘overpment, amuch larger number will soon follow. Gen. Scott did not eucceed with five thousand mepin destroying five Indians, he might have spared the inhabitants he has left defenceless such degra- ding denunciations. As that, however, is an affair between him and the Governor, as to the number of the enemy, and the defence of Middle Florida, I shall proceed to what is the object of this comma- My purpose is, most respectfully to request an in- quiry into the manner of conducting the late cam- paign in Flonda, and into the conduct of the major generel commanding, for having gone into summer quarters the last of April, leaving the country with- a defence, and the inbabitants at the mercy of the indians. Major General Scott had power to call upon the Governors of South Carolixa, Georgia, and Alaba- ma, for any number of mgn that he might consider neceezary to put an end to the war. Congress, by Jaw, had provided ample means; and whilst he was in command, the Governor of Florida had no power to call for troops Gen Scott, after one unsuc- cessful campaign,|disbanded the whole militia force ; but the term of service of a portion of it had expired, ard he has neither called, by draught or for yo- lunteers, for any other further military foree. He has, on the contrary, refused the acceptance of some that was offered, and has disarmed tho militia of East Florida. When called upon, now, to furnish adequate force for the protection of that frontier, he complains of his limited means; when it is apparent, from the above statement, that his means are only limited by his discretion, and that he has power at eny mo- ment to order any number from Georgia or South Carolina. He admits that 3,000 men are necessary to subdue these Indians, and that he has bat 1,000 under his command. Now, I ask why it is that he has rot these 3,000 men in the field that he deems necesvary ? # He, and he alone, is responsible for all the lives and property of the inhabitants that may be des- troyed for the want of tbat protection and security, which every citizen of the republic has a right to look for from his goverment, Added to this, the feelings of the people are outraged by representa- tions calculated to degrade and expose them to ri- dicule throughout the United States These people, you are aware, are spirsely ed over an extensive territory, in detached neig hoods, without any dense population to fail ba-k upon, or without avy fortified places in which to place their wives end children for safety. If, upon the first sound of an alarm, some small neighbor- hood should go in pureuit of even five Indians, they wight, as they did with Gen. Scott’s grand army, dodge out of the way, and fall back upon the wo- men and children in the rear. It is unnecessary, however, to detain you with these details: the com- plaint I make is, that Msjor General Scott has left that country without adequate protection, and has not a sufficient force either for offensive or defensive ions. Hehas produced a state of feeling that ajl harmony or concert with the local au- thorities or people of the country ; and the public seats imperiously require his immediate with- wal.

The Governor and his party dined at a separate table, as it was late when they arrived, and the boarders in the house had nearly concluded their repast. After dinner the party adjourned to the shady side of the house and enjoyed the delightful evening air and fegars. The evening boat from New York brought up a large company. I expected there would have been a delegation of peliticians, but in this I taken. Some came up to enjoy the festi evening, others for the sake of pas yagree- ably, and others again who bad been here before, but whore business called them to the city, came back to join their friends, and pass the remainder of the senson comfortably. In the evening the large dining hall was cleared of most of its furniture, and Wallace’s band, from New York, struck up a march which brought the Jadies from the drawing-room and parlors, and from their own apartments, to the dancing room, and soon the floor was fully oceupied-—waitz, qnadrille, olka, and all the list of fashionable dances being Brought into requisition.

Most of the rs in the house attended church, some went to the vil- lage church (Presbyterian,) at Buttermilk Falls, some to the chapel at West Point, and others ac- companied Gen. 8. and Gov. H.

Our Santa Fe Correspendence. ~ Santa Pe, New Mi Avpgost 1, 1852. Sevious Apprehension of a Revolt Riot at « Fan. dango—Altempt to Shoot Judge Monsoe---The Revolt of the Troops. Some months ago, serious apprehensions were felt by the Ameriean portion of the population of Santa Ve, of @ well-organized attempt ata revolt on the part of the ng- tive population of the territory, The matter by some means came to light, or at all events sufficient informa. tion was obtained by the Governor and the commanding officer ef the post, to justify the latver in adopting every Precautionary measure, Perhaps, in consequence of thed? steps, mo outbreak resulted. The troops having been nearly all removed far off into the Indien. doubtless inspired the ignorant and diseontented with hopes of @ successfal revolt. Within the last few days an alarming riot occurred at fandango, between the soldiers and the Mexicans, to quell which the sheriff found it necessary to order the guard to fire upon the mob. Several were wounded ‘op ‘voth sides, and it is not improbable that one or more were mortally wounded.
