THE GREAT MOSQUITO SCHEME. Interesting Correspondence between the Nicara- guan Minister, Secretary Marcy, and the Nigaragua Transit Company, &., &., &e. — Nroaragy. New Youn, Nov. 23,1804," On the 4th of May last the undersigned had the honor to address to the Department of States communication conveying a protest against an association which, under the title of ‘Central American Land and Mining Com- pany,” had been formed in New York; and covering, at ‘the same time, a historic sketch of its origin, tenden- Gies and objects. In the performance of his proper duties the under- | signed has attentively observed the steps and the de. velopement of the projects of said company, and has now the moral conviction, as wellas the evidence, that its members and associates contemplate a violation of ‘the laws of this Republic, and an invasion of the terri- tory of Nicaragua. ‘The Hxnatp, of New York, of the 17th inst., contains ‘an article which confirms previous suspicions, and sustains the actual proofs in the case; but'notwithstand- ing the little faith that may be supposed to attach to newspaper rumors, in which speculation generally over- Dalances truth, still the possible exaggeration in this case does not weaken the facts, nor discredit the reality ‘of the danger. . The American Union has given to the world repeated proofs and guarantees of its respect for the laws and the rights of the countries with which it is im peace and , The ations of its ilustrious Prosident We pieergeny in Cali and against Terigus legal on the faland of Cuba, show clearly the right views of the administration which now no wisely directs the destinies of this t Republic. spre, Sapectty. with which Great Britain haa sustained, and to-day, her proctorate over the uito 4 un poteraen nt, principally af recent pati, 12 at recent declare that the sovereignty over said coast belongs, and has iy pelonged, to the republic of Nicaragua. Such or better, such acknowl t— has been reproduced and y ts of the Union in Ni » in their frequent offi- relations and communica‘ ith the government of that Republic. ‘There is ‘not, then, any doubt of the legitimacy of the rights and pra Oe oi ‘Nicaragua over all the country between with all the adjacent islands, and over ali the termtory formerly called “Province of Nicaragua,’’ including tue segion ly known under the name of the « Mamie coast.”” The invasion with which Nicaragua is now threatened has been conceived and will be accomplished, if atall, by American citizens, whose nationality should be a salt cient motive for them to abstain from rticipation and pe ote earns Sata are the, ry pataitigence and ju secures its conquests for the benefit of the human fa: ae Nor are they likely to inspire friend- ship, or constitute inks in the chain which s! r different nations in a common brotherhood.

Secretary of State of the 30th ultimo, in reply to that which this legation bad the henor to send on the 22d of the same month, asking for the application of the neutrality laws of the United States against certain American citizens who, uader specious pretexts, iatend to violate the rights and the Serritory of the republic of Nicaragua. The Hon, ry of State, according to the vterms of his said note, seems to consider this grave matter under a different point of view, declines to accede to the just wishes of the government of Nicaragua, be- cause he does not consider them applicable to the actual case, and on account of the peaceful character of the company referred to, which company, it is alleged, is an susceiation for ‘business purposes.’’ ‘The undersi cannot but express the deep regret produced in his mind by the contents of the communi- cation of the Secretary of State, of the 30th of Novem- der last, because {t séema to him that, in the said com- munication, the character and the circumstances of the asscciation referged to are entirely misconceived and over- bed.
