By the President: W. L, Marcy, of State. In consequence of the publication of the District Attor ney’s letter, « person called on that gentieman at his of- fice, and inquired if there wou'd be any violation of the law in carrying passengers in the steamer Osprey from this port for New Granada, acd a portion of whom, h stated, were to be Jefe at 2an Juan. He also said that he had been applied to by a certain party to take from fifty toa hundred mere, all of whem were to come from Phila delphia, Mr. McKeon informed him that, taken in con- nection with certain rumors which had been circulated about the fitting out of an expedition to Nicaragua from this port, it would be advisable for him not to incur the risk of taking these persons. At the close of the inter- view, he told the [istrict Attorney that he should call and furnish him with a list of the passengers for San Juan the day before the sailing ofthe steamer. Adsy or two after the occurrence we have related, Mr. McKeon was visited by anuther person, who informed him that a number of canon were about to be taken on board the Osprey. Upon the receipt of this startling in- telligence the District Attorney requested the Ccllector of the Port to have the vessel searched. The request was promptly complied with, but nothing was discovered to Justify the suspicion that she was intended for » hostile enterprise, It turned out afterwards that the cannon were intended for the arsenal in this city, and that they had left them lyirg on the pier near the steamer previous to being sent to that building. Afew hours, however, be- fore the search took place, Mr. McKeon was again called upon by hia first vislter, who solemnly assured him that the cannon were not intended for his vessel, aniasa confirmation of his statement gave ham the following sfiidavit:— CHRISTMAS.

In addition to this, Mr. Frost furnished him, seeording to promize, with the names of the passengers for San Juan, and of whom there were not more than nine or ten. Im addition to these there were between twenty and thirty others destined for the places named in the affide- vit. Being satisfied that there was nothing of an illegal character about the vessel, she was allowed to go on her voyage without further interruption. The Osprey left this port on the 15th instant, and the public mind, which bad been considerably excited by the reports respecting her, was now completely set at rest. ‘went on very quietly till the morning of Saturday, 224 inst., when the District Attorney received An anonymous communication, informing him that the writer had reen 8 number of men going into a piste called Central Hall, room No. 12, under suspicious circumstan- ces, and that he had no doubt, from all he could learn reapectirg their movements, they were engaged in some hostile designs upon Nicaragua.

About half past seven o'clock om Saturday Mr. MeiCeqn wan informed that a person bad called at the corner of Broadway and Leonard street, and yae there told that he would obtain $25 a month for six months, ant 250 acres of land, if be would go out to Nicaragae, and serve there for that length of time. Mr, McK. was alsoinformed there would be a meeting that evening in Central fati, ‘as already stated; that the party who were notified to as- semble at that place would organize there, and that they would lesve on Monday for Nicaragua. Upon receiving this important news the District Attorney ‘old his tu- formant to attend the meeting and report the proceed. ing» to him at vine o'clock at the St. Nicholes Hotel. Mr. McKeon meanwhile engaged the services of Deputy United States Marshal, Mr. Horton and Mr. Joashims- fem, the Amistant District Attorney, accompanied by ‘whom he went to the St. Nicholas at the appointed hour ‘There was some policy in ma: ing it the place of meeting,as Judge Hell is stopping there at present, and he could be called upon to issues process if it sheuld be found ne- cessary 'o doso, At the time stated the person who had gone to the rendezvous returned and informed the Dis- trict Attormey that there were » number of persons col- Jected sdout Central Hall, upon which the party of three, consisting of the District Attorney, the Deputy Marvhal and the informant, went to the place where the meetirg was to be held. On arriving there they found that the greater part of tho men had dispersed, but there were still quite s considerable number. One of these, while cor versing with Mr. McKeon, said that he under- stood the meeting bad been called for the purpose of drilling them before they left in the steamer; and others produced pepers which they told him they had recelved at ‘room No. 12,” and which turned out to be notices of the time and place of meeting. Another person stated that he was present that day or the day before at a meet- ing held at accel yard in Brooklyn. They all appeared very indignat at the manner in which they had been treated, as,centrary to appointment,no meeting was held atthe place stated. Upom the suggestion of one of the number, that one was going on in the upper part of the building, Mr. McKeon, accompanied by Mr. Horton and several of the party, arcended the stairs, and were met on the third story by an old lady, who told them no meet- ing was held there; and having satisfied themselves of that fact, they returned to the street. The party bad the appearance of farmers, and were mostly Americana from different parts of the Union. fome of them went with the District Attorney to the corner of Broome and Centre atreets, where {t was said the meeting might have been held; but thelr visit there was attended with the same ill success. Mr. McKeon now informed those who still remained of his official cbarecter and advired them to have nothing to do with the affair, an it was illegal and might bring them into serious trouble, He tnen returned to the hotel, where he Dad an interview with Mr. Parker H.

To J. L. Wunry, Esq. THE INTERVIEW BETWEEN COL. FRENCH AND DISTRICT ATTORNEY MoKEON AT THE ST. NICHOLAS. We have received from another of our corpe of reporters the followizg account of the interview between Col. French and Mr. Mckeon:— At balfpast ten o'clock on Saturday night last, Dis- trict Attorney McKeon, accompanied by his own assiat- antand the Deputy Unitea States Marshal, making #trong party of three, peid a visit to the St. Nicholas Ho- tel, They were in search of the Nicaraguan Minister. The manver of the visit, and its results to the District Attorney, were equally surprising and significant. When Mr. McKeon entered the hotel with his party, Co!. Frencb, the Minister Plenipotentiary of the Republic of Nicaragus, was in the clerk’s office of the hotel, engaz- ed in conversation with Generals Cazeneau and Green, of Texas, and Col. Jack Haye, of California. Mr. McKeon stepped up briskly to Gen. Carensau snd asked if his name wan French, Col. C., turning to the Minister, then said, “This is the gentleman,’”’ whereupon Mr. McKeon re- quested a private intervie-y with Col, French, who, after concluding his conversation with the other party—an in- terval of perbaps ten minutes—went up with Mr. McKeon and his body guard to his own room. Mr. McKeon opened the conversation as follows:— Mr, McK.—Col. French, I Lave attended two meetings to-nigh!, one at a cecal yard in Brooklyn, and another in this city, where there were large porties of men organiz- ing tor Nicarsgua, in violation of the neutrality laws of the United States; and I have come to you towget a writ- ten denial of your connection witn thore meetings, which I wish for publication. Col, F.—I am frank to confess to you as a man, and as the representative of the government of Nicaragua, that I know nothiog of what you allude to, and have no oon- nection with any organisation in the United States that could be im violation of the neutrality laws. My country invites immigration, but I am tco well aware of the duties of my position, and of the Argus eyes with which I am watched by all the world, to do aught that would embarrass me or watangle the negotiations now pending at Washington. Propositions have been made to mito rend men to Nicsregus, but I have refused to hold consexion with persons entertaining such projects as you have in mind. To letters of inquiry I have uni- formly returned @aswers 'n accordance with that con- duct. Mr. McK.—Sir, have you not atyertised in some! of the newspapers on tho subject of Nicaregus? Col. F.—My government advertises one of its own de- cress in the Naw Yoru Henaip, and ia the Sun, offering » bounty of lax d to every immigrant coming into the coun- try, and declaring bis intention of remaining. Mr. McK.—Have you no other Kind of wivertise ment? Col. F.--I know of no other, Mz, McK.—There are advertisements of a very diffe rent cbarecter in the mewspapers. Col. ¥.— Possibly; but I have not seemtbem, and have no counexion with them, By the ins:ruetions of my Orc netelnese Domest tmusigration for the move of getting to aswlet us in resources of our councry; end the Nicaraguan “nd Company, deeming tt their own advantage to bulld up a trade with Nicaragua, have fixed the price of passage t Granade, on Lake Nicaragua, at twenty oilers. Mr. McK.—Yen, adr, yos, sir; and I will seize every ship of that company, and break up their line. The law in broad enough to confiscate every vessel they have. Col. ¥.—My country ix poor, to be sure; but if you will Jet us know whip you are going to sell these vessels, we will probably buy them in, But, air, this conversation is becoming impor'ant. Here are pen, ink and paper. Write down your questions categorically, so that I may answer them in the order propounded. Mr. MoK. (exolted)—Sir, air) I wil do no such thing, sit! Teannot reecgnize you, sir, ae the Minister from Nicaragua! Col. F.—I did not xk you to do that, and it is quite immaterial whether you recegnize me or not; but I can- not forget that | am the Minister. Address your queries, if you please, sir, to Parser B. French, an on todividual, acd I must losist upon your writing them. Mr. McK.—No, air! { will not, sir! { will avt, air! law must take its course, sir! Col. F.—What do you mean by those remarks? Have you traced any violation of the nutrality laws to my doort Mr. McK.—I have, sir. I have undoubtea proofs of your erfminality in this matter Col, F,.—Sir, your words are an inevit to me asa man, and to the country I have the honor to represent, Ani, sir, you abame the cffice you represent by coming here to tamper with me, and trying to entangle me, when you say you have already procfs is your hand thst will justify my arrest, You should have ccme witha warraat, but ns you have forgotten your own duty by not bringing it, 1 will waive the formality, and allow you to arrest me without It, If I have violated the neutrality Jaws of the United States, I have done eo by doing nothing at all and 1 must require an immediate investigation of the matter. (A paure—tendency to retire on the part of Mr. Mek and bedy guard.) Otherwise I must request you to re- ‘re—and—bid you—a very good evening. (ol. F. then opened the door for the gentleman, who accep'ed this ci- villty, Mc. MeK. muttering, under great excitement, ‘The low must tabs {te course, sir—the law must take it ‘he law must,"’ &e.)

Subsequently, om the wame day, Mr Marcoleta called on Col, French, at the National Hotel, and repeste! to im the same questios which he bad before put in writ ing. Col.
