4) THE NEW YORK HERALD. WHOLE NO. 7200. THE FAMINE AT THE CAPE DE VERDS, Meeting at the Corn Exchange for the Relief of the Sufferers. BARTLETT. SPPEGL OF LIEUT. Letter of Rt. Rev. Dr. Patricio, Bishop of the Islands, én, bey &e. In accordance with the call of Theodore Perry, Esq, Secretary of the Corn Exchenge, a meeting for the relie ‘of the etarving people of the Cape de Verds was held yes- terday at the Corn Exchange rooms, The audience was “very numerous, and much interest was manifested in the Proceedings. "The meeting was called to order by Mr. Banus, Vice Phesident of the New York Corn Exchange. Gentlemen, taid he, I have the pleasure to introduce to you Lieu- tepant Bartlett, who will now address you in regard to he sufferings of the Cape de Verde islanders. Lieut. Bartiert then came forward and addressed the sneeling as follows: Gentlemen and Merchants of New York—I hey boldness to appear before you this morning, for the pur- ose of making another appeal to you in the cause of suf- ig humanity. I know the vaiue of your time at this cular hour, and I will not detain you more than a moments, You have all read the publications which have been made through the tiger calling upon our peo- ‘ple to send relief to the suffering and starving people of the Cape de Verds. It was my fortune, in tne prosscu- tion of the public service, to be at thore islands in the month of November last, snd while there I witaessed their sufferings, and saw that unless Providense should bless them with better prospects than they nad for the previous three years, the year 1856 would carry off thousands by starvation. When I came home, having made appeals jing at the Canaries, Madeira and Lisbon, I made Eecqrartts comattioe of those lalands ¥0 our people. Cir- cumstances, however, waica occurred at Norfolk, and an unusually rigorous winter, made that appeal for the tame in vsin. Through the prevs I have lately made ancther appeal, snd prodused the correspondence which you bave read, sv honorable to the philanthropy of our Consuis at the Canary—Mr. Le Bran, and Robert i Boyman, [isq., at the Island of Madeira— as also the letter of cur Winister at Lisbon, Mr. O’Sulli- van, who, on the facts I gave him, obtained the action of the Portuguese government toa smallextent. It will be remembered that Dr. Clymer, United Sta‘es Navy, atates in his letter of the 8th of March taat be had suggested to the Right Rev. Bishop of the Cape ce Verds the propriety of adoressing himeeif to Archoishop Hughes, of New York, and the Roman Catholic Bishops of London and Paris. This has been done, at least so far as to Bishop Hughes—tor be received, a few days since, the letter which I now hoid in my bang, and which the venerable Archbishop bas gesired me to present to thi eting and the public, and to announce for himself a donation of $50 to ‘the Committee of the Corn kxcual As this letter net only places us in the possession of the very latest and most reliable information and will suffisiently answer to all those who desire officia! intormaticu, (should there be any suob,) I will now read you the letter, and ask your attention to the facts contaired in it—the object of this meeting being to lay facts before the people. Lieut. Bastietr here read th ¢ following letter from Rt. Rev. Dr. Patrisio, Bisnop of the Cape de Verds, to Archbishop Hughe: Most EXxcsiusnt AND REVEREND S1n—The alimentary crisis which manitestec itself in various parts of Kurope. from ex Cessive or premature rains, destroying a large proportion of ‘the crops, hes presented iiself in these islands on a much more ex ended sale; for the want of water, during the right penson, destroyed the young crop, which until that time had given the fost Asttering hopes of an abuodant harvest, which would ve compensated or the scarcity of the two preceding years; peop'e d. themse'ves stra Frith oore pansion ‘ror ints soverely ailloisa pe: should re- Frith oor . bee! the other most werthy Bishops of the Fatied tates of to encourage subscriptions in their dioceses for the ‘Ddenefit of this per 6, if your preclioncy. will raise your volos (which wiil be echoed from all parts) to advocate tha cause of humanity, surely no one inthe United States will fe to unite with your Excellency in an ast of benevoleace pleasing in the sight of God—that of feeding tne hungry; ‘one in the United Statee wiil tail to send your Kxcellency their donations fer the succor of thia unhappy people, (whose ex: treme necessity afflicts me excessively, ard pricks’ me to the heart), to alleviate the terrible consequences of a scourge Wich oppresses and carries them to their graves.

Lieut. Bartiert resumed, and said—If you consider the authority on which I speak sufficient, we sball have the required relief, and some of us will have the honor to carry itover. Thus, we will be enabled from our sur- lus to save these poor people from famine. (.

Lieut.

Bartiett, New York—Dear Sir—I understand you are to deliver an address to day in relation to the terrible sufter- {ngs from iamine now encured by the Cape de Verd island- crs. Ihave long known what it was to be straitened for funds; but as neither I nor any of mine are in danger of starvation, 1 feel it my duty to assist who are. I, therefore, enclose you a hundred dollars, as a start for the poor man’s subscrip- tion lst to the charity you have in he It the poor will contribute their , and the rich of New York give with their accustomed liberaity, the afflictive visita- tion of the Cape de Verds will soon be alieviated, if not re- moved. Respectiully, A Poor Man. Mr. Bartlett had already announced $50 from Arch- dishop Hu and $20 from John D. Clute, Esq., of No. 174 Second avenue, It isfunderstood that the subscription books of the com- mittee have been reasonably su: ‘'al—and on its being announced from the chair that the Corn Exchange Com- mittee on this subject, would hold a meeting for business immediately after the adjournmentof the public meeting, ‘an adjournment was then moved and carried. We observed many leadiog citizens present taking a lively interest in the movement; among others, the pub- lic’s favorite, Mr. Hackett, whose proposition to give $100 and an evening’s services has been for some before the people. will but add that it is tion of Lieut. Bartlett's that all individuals, or assosia- tions of individuals, in whatever part of the United States or the British Provinees, who contemplate aiding in this (ct work, shall put themselves in communication with eodore Perry, Ksq., Secretary to the Corn Exchange Association of New Yerk, in order to maintain unity of action and to ascertain how much and how quickly relief can be sent; and Lieut. Bartlett will gladly communicate himself, or through Mr. Perry, any information he may have or which may come to hand. A. D, Howell, Eaq., of Tennessee (late a lieutenant of the navy), has volunteered to accompany Lieut. Bartlett as his first officer. ass said resolution, and im our effort to feed these Police Intelligence. ALLEGED ASSAULT WITH INTENT TO KitL.—James Conway, represented by the police asa very desperate character, was taken into custody on Wednesday afternoon, by officer McDonald, cf the Fifteenth ward police, on charge of having committed an assault, with intent to kill, upon the person of Theodore Frelas, a clerk in the grocery store of Wil- liam Rand, situated at the corner of Mott and Houston streets, The prisocer, it is alleged, for some slight cause attacked the complainant with « large carving knife, and stabbed him twice, inflicting wounds in the arm and shouléer. The alarm being raised, the policeman hasten- ed to the spot, and took Conway into custody. A dostor ‘was summoned to attend Freiss, who was bleeding pro- fusely. Tie medical man is of opinioa that the wound in the shoulder of the injured man is a fatal one, and that the complainant will never recover. Conway, it is said, also attempted to stad one of the other clerks fn the store, but the subject of the infuriated man’s vengeance succeeded in making his escape. The prisoner, on being taken before Justice Flandreau, at the Second Districc Police Court, was oommitted for examination. Cuance OF Hichway Rossery.—About 11% o’clock on ‘Wednesday night, a roldter from Governor's Island, named Arthur Boston, while crossing through the Battery, was attacked by two men, who, having knocked him down, robbed him of a silver watch and some small change. The soldier cried out lustily for help, when officer Dack, ot the First ward police, hurried to the spot, and after a long chate succeeded in capturing one of the robbers jost as be was making his escape over the Battery wall. On taking the prisoner to the station house he gave hia name as Patrick Quinp. In his possession was found a pistol and a quantity of ammunition. The complainant imme- diately identified him as the man who knocked him down. Quinn’s accomplive succeeded in escaping with the stolen property. Justice Connolly held the accused to bail in the sum of $2,000 to answer the above charge. Argest or ay Escargp Coxvict.—John Branner, alias Snoozer, who escaped from the City prisgn some months ago, where he had beem confined preparatory to beiug sent to the State prison, to serve out a term of three years’ imprisonment, was arrested yesterday by one of the Seven‘eenth ward police and was lodged in his old quarters at the Tombs. Brunner escaped from the City prison by means of a stclen ticket which he presented to the turnkey, and was thus allowed to depart from his place of confinement. Search was made for the fugitive imme- diately after his Mees became known, but he succeeded in baffling all the efforts of the police until yesterday. Mr. Snoozer will be sent up to Sing Sing to-day. ALLEGED GRAND LaRceny.—A young man named Edward B, Jonen was arrested by Officer Davis, of the Fifteenth ward police, on a charge of stealing a gold watoh, valued at $40, from the sion of Charles Selden, of 16 Bond street. A pawnticet for the stoien article being found an Jones’ geo he was arrested on charge of hav- ing committed the theft. Justice Davison held the cused for trial. Cuarce ov BurGLary.—Frank Blanchan, a laborer, about 56 years of ae, was arrested by officer Willet, of the Fifth ward police, on charge of having burglariously entered the store of Nelson Rollins, No. 109 Canal street, on Wednesday night, and stesling therefrom about twenty-five yards of carpeting, valued at $20, The prisoner was observed leaving the premises with the property in peg erp and was followed to @ farni- ture store, im West Broadway, where he endeavored to sell the plunder, but was prevented from doing so by the entrance of the complainant and the abovementioned policeman. Justice Connolly committed Blanchan for trial, in default of $1,000 . Tre Arrestep Oyrrians —The statement in yester- day’s HeRAtb, in reference to the girls who were arrested on Tuesday evening last, may seem to reflect somewhat injurfously on Lieut. Bennett, of the Third ward police. That officer apprehended most of the girls himself, and they were taken to the Tombs next morning, without any unnecessary parade or violence, -as the paragraph would seem to imply. The police, of course, are not blameable for the conduct of little urchins, The Turf. UNION COURSE, L. I.—TROTTING.

Sanpy Hook, May 15, 1856. The Royal mail steamship Asia, Captain Lott, from Liverpool on the morning of Saturday the third inst., arrived in our harbor this evening. [The Asia isvither at anchor or aground in the lower bey, and as she has fired several guns and blown off steam, the presumption is that she is aground.] The news is three days Jater than that received by the Atlantic, but presents no feature of decided importance. In the British Parliament the adjourned debate on Mr. Whiteside’s motion for a vote of censure on the govern- ment for the fall of Kars, had been pressed to a division, when the motion was lost by a majority of one hundred and twenty-seven against it. The official report of the proceedings of the Peace Con- gress had been published, but are little more than a re- production of the treaty and protocols alrerdy made known. The sales of cotton in the Liverpool market during the week amounted to 42,000 bales, of which speculators took 7,000 and exporters 2,750 bales. The market was dull, and prices, on the lower qualities in particular, had declined, under the influence of the last advices from the United States. The decline was equal to about one- eighth of apenny per pound. The better grades were in moderate demand, and without material change from the quotations of the previous Friday.

Important from the National Capital, THE PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE ON CENTRAL AMERICAN AFFAIBS—WAR WITH ENGLAND PREDICTED—MR. CRAMPTON’S CASE TO BE DISPOSED OF—SCHEMES OF THE NEW YORK POLITICIANS, ETC., ETO. Wasutctoy, May 16, 1856. As I predicted, the President communicated to the Serate to-day @ message upon the Central American im- broglio. He meets the question squarelyand boldly. The documents accompanying it are very voluminous, in- cluding the entire correspondence up to this time re- specting the difficulties between our government and Nicaragua. It created considerable excitement about the Capitol, and a very animated debate sprang up im the Senate between Messrs, Crittenden, Mason and Weller. It will be continued to-morrow. Captain Sends, of the Navy, who has been ordered to Nicaragua, left here this evening, with important des- patches to our Minister there. He was closeted » long time with the Secretary of the Navy before he left. Hg will proceed without delay. Yesterday sfternoon Secretary Marcy sent for Mr. Marooleta, ex-Minister from Nicaragua, as an act of cour- tesy, and informed him of the determination of the ad- ministration to receive Padre Vijilas Minister from Ni- caragua. Mr. Marcoleta complained of it as violative of the law of God and the law of nations. He entered his solemn protest against the proceeding, and Informed Mr. Maroy that he should prepare an exposé of all the facts, to be communicated by him to the members of the di- plomstic corps resident near this government. Quite s number of Senators are of opinion—among them Mr, Clayton—that we are on the eve of » war wi iB England. Indeed, » universal impression prevails hore, in well informed circles, to that effect, and that nothing can avert it but a change in her offensive and aggressive conduct towards us. If she persists in heg interference in Central American affairs, and the stoppage of our merchant vessels, there is no doubt the adminis- tration has determined at all hazards to resent it; and this determination is all the more important as it is the result of outside pressure by distinguished menin Con. greas which cannot longer be resisted. Ths bold and prompt avowal of Senator Douglas in favor of the imme- diate reccgnition of Nicaragua forced the President into that course, Mr. Crampton will speedily receive his passports, The President declares that the only reason he did not dismiss him long sinee was the desire to wait for the reply of the British government to the demand for Mr. Crampton’s recall, #0 a8 not to be obnoxious to the charge of wanto due courtesy, As to the insue between Clayton and Crampton, not much oredi ia’attached to the statements & the former. A prevalent rumor is afloat that the President will veto all the bills granting lands for railroads, principally on the ground of the hatty manner in which they are being pressed through. it is estimated that the bills which tte Land Committee of the House bave determined upon will call for not less than fifieen million acres. 1am informed this evening by @ distinguished pollti- cian who is in the secret, that Richmond, Sickles and Fowler, of New York, have consummated an arrange- went with General Pierce and his friends that, provided they would admit the softs to the Cincinnati Con the softs would cast their votes for Pierce, The sa rangement, I understand, was made with Mr. Buchanan’s frien nd it is thought they made a similar arrange- ment with Judge Deuglas’ friends, Mr. Buchanan dines to morrow with Secretary Marey, and on Satarday with Governor Aiken, of South Carolina, Weollen Mill Burned.

THE LATE NAVAL BOARD, Mr. Matiory, (dem.) ot Fla., spoke on the subject o° the Naval Retiring Board, replying to all the arguments urged egainst the board, but taking no notice of the per- sonalities which have been intermingled in the discus- sions. CRNTRAL AMERICAN AYFAIRS— MESSAGE YROM THE PRESIDENT, A message was received from the President, enclosing reports from the Secretary of State, Secretary of the Navy, and the Attorney General, in reply to a resolution of the Senate im March last, also a resolution of the Rouse, adopted Mey 8, both having reference to routes of transit between the Atiantic and Pacific coeans, through the republics of New (iranadaand Nicaragua, and to the condition of our affairs with Central America. Tne President says:— The narrow isthmus which connects the continents of North and South America, by the facilities it affords for an easy transit between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, has rendered the countries of Central America the objects of special consideration to all commercial nations, and public interest has bren greatly augmented in modern timen by reason of the changes in the commercial rela- ticca produced by the general use of steam as a motive power by Jand and sea. To us, on account of its geo- graphical position, and our political interest as an Ame- rican State, the Isthmus is of peculiar importance—just as the Isthmus of Suez 4, for corresponding reasons, to the commercial Powert of Earope, But, above all, the importance to the Unitel States of securing a free transit across the American isthmus, has become of paramount importance since the sttlement of the Territories of Washington and Oregon, and the accession of California. Impelled by these considirations, the United States took nteps at an early day toassure suitable means for com- mercial transit, by canal railway or otherwise across the isthmus, After speaking of the treaty with New Grana- da, securing the right of transit, and the unsuccessful erdeavor to obtain from Hfexico the right of way at the northern} extremity of tle isthmus, by way of Tehuante, pec, the President alludesto the importance of the nar. rower point of the isthmut for transit, and the permanent interest the United Stats has in the security and protection of projected ines of travel. He adverts to the fact that although ‘his government has been so- licited to extend its protecting power, and avail itself of auch advantages as that pmtectioc would secure, atillit has persevered in a system #f justice and respect for the rights and interests of othes, as well as our own, in re- gard to all Central American States. He re‘ers briefly to the possession taken by the 3ritish of the harbor of San Juan del Norte almost immediately after the treaty of Gaucaiupe Hidalgo, and of the effect produced upon Ni- caragua by that act. Hoe then adverts to the u1 wed condition of the fpanish American repub- lics, and the solicitud) and regret such s at of affairs inspired in the United States. The violent revolutions an¢ wars with which they heve been continually agitated hare made them comparatively powerless—unable to afford due protestion to foreign in- terests within their territoiy, er defend their own soil against aggressions, foreign or domestic. The burden of this state of things has, consequently, been cast upon the foreign States associated in close relations of commercial intercourse. In speaking of Mexico, the President shows the fact that Great Britain and France have both had oo- casion to resort to their military power to enforce the rights cf their citizens against the independent Spenish-AmericanStates. He likewise alludes to the fact iat although it would be as easy for the United States to absorb new territory from Central America, » it is tor European States to do this in Asia or Afrios, yet we have abstained from it.in obedience to considerations of right, mot less thou of policy. He affirms that he has never failed t dissbarge the duties which he owes to himeelf, to biscountry. and to fore’ Por and that he has never ‘ailed sternly to exert all the authority in him vested to repress unlawful enterprises, because they are in wolation of the laws ofthe which the constitution requires him to faithfully execute, because they are contrary to the policy of this government, and Decause to permit them would be a departure fram good faith with the American republics in amity with us. Dave toparied the most prominence i that of Nicatuean, ave "iDparted the most prominerce of Nica: on account o! its transit and otherwire. ‘The President states that in their struggles and troubles, neither being strong enough to cvercome the other, one of the parties (Costillians) invited the assistance of « small body of ci- tizeza of the United States, whose presence apparently put an end to the struggle and restored quiet by placing at the head of the government a distinguished individual, by birth a citizen of the republic—Don Patricio Rivas— as ite provisional President. ‘The message, in allusion to the established policy of the United States in relation to the re: ition of forefgn ministers, sets forth the followin, ples: — ‘We recognize all governments, without question as to their source or organization, or the means by which the governing powers attain their power, provided there be a Coe de facto accepted by the people of the country. ‘We co not. go bebind the fact of s foreign government phen the actual power to investigate questions of timaey. ‘e do not inquire into the causes which may have led to a change of government.

During the sixty: saree hot of roa ae — Ke present ele tion, we have bad occas recognise governments facto founded either by domestic revolution or by mili. a invesion from abroad, in many of the governments of Europe.

Therefore, when the Minister from Ni ited himself, somo months since, bear- The various objections to him were stated.

To Commodore Pauld- ing the Secretary encloses a copy of the statement of Captain Tinklepaugh, of the Orizabs, saying that it pre- sents a case which makes {t manifest that our flag should be shown at San Juan de Nicaragua. In consideration of these circumstances he is directed to proceed there with the frigate Potomac, and in distributing the versela of the Home squadron the Secretary gave particular instruc- tions to each commander to touch at Panama, Aspinwall and fen Jaen, as often as consistent with a due regard to the interests of our eountry in those parta—the sioop St. aug to temain at Panama as long an she is needed. The documenta contain full particulars of the outrages: ot Panama, the Costa Rican Minister, ina letter to any Eenor Moria, Mr. Marcy, April 8, 1856, speaks of fillbustering Powers as always hostile to that republic, and stating in candor, that the lawless conduct of this class is the sole cause which compelled Costa Rica to undertake the war in wh is now engaged, and imposed sacrifices which she protests she will reclaim trom whoever may be res- pepsible for thesame, Mr. Marcy replies, April 25, to what Mr. Molina calls “the lawless conduet of the United States,” sayin; it reflects on the gocd faith of our country, as regerd ita xeutral relations not only with Costa Rica, but with each Central American State. That charge could not be lightly mace, and was presented without adequate proot to tustein it, After arguing In favor of the right of ex patriation, Mr. Marcy rays, “respect for Costa Rica and for Mr. Molina himself, requires that his lan; shall be ro interpreted that’ it shall not imply the charge of connivance on the part of this government at s violation of the peutrality lswe.”” On te! 24, Mr. tailing the shock inj combatants by Costa Ricans, 8 that the President in willing to believe that Costa Rica will promptly eon. dewn the perpetrators of the mhuman outrage, and in- flict on them exemplary punishment, as Costa had <eparted from the laws of war.

Senor Molina says this war is not between Coats Rica and Nicarsgua, but between the untied people of the two States, or rather of Central America, against a band of unauthorized adventurers, whoare impoverishing and f Nicaragua, and who are pose the same yoke upon the rest of Central America. Costa Rica cannot acoord the rights of war tos band of men answerable to penal laws, which certainly are not more eevere in those States than in other Siates of the civilized world. Senor Molina hopes our government will suspend ita opinion untii an inves- tigation be made into the evente at Virgin Bay, and toat it will not be too severe with regard to Costa Kies.

Senor Dom Augustin Vijil writes to Mr. Marcy, May 14, saying that the unhappy state of the country in which he was bern, and the desire of exerting bis best efforts to reHeve it, bas led him to leave his native shores to represent ite interests’ in the caprtal of this biessed re- publie, He then proceeds to place the affairs of NI gua in tuch # light as to induce Mr. Marcy to view ita Circums'ances in their true light, concluding with ex- pressing the hope thet the government of the United States will be a friend to Nicaraguan peace, prosperity and happiness. Next fo lowsa letter from President Rivas, dated April 17, addressed to the President of the United States, as “« Great and friend.” He says ne is desirous of cultivating frien¢ly relations, and has thought fit to aceredit Padre Vifil es Minister to the United States—a reliable person, on account of his knowledge of public @ flats and his patriotic feelings, to the end with that character, he may enter into treaties of alliance, Ae asks this government to treat him kindly. Mr. Mason, of Va., moved to refer the message to the Committee on Foreign AMlairs, and to print it. Mr. Carrrenpen, of Ky., regarded the subject as very {mportant—ono which ought not to pass from the con- sideration of the Senate into the hands of the committee without remarks. He had seldom, if ever, listened t> a message from the Executive whieh was fraught with iorbipg interest, or which might lead to more onsequerces. In one week's time the coun- try would be agitated from one end to the other on this subject, and it might result in our being involved in war. if we were to have s war, how- ever, he wanted it to be accepted or denounced by Sensiors in an open, manly manner, and not have ja courte of poliey pursued by which we should go on, step by step, biindly, until we iell into the pit. The govern- ment of Nicaragua, which the President has offically re- cognized, wasa thing of yesterday, as it were—at any rate, the shoes were not yet worn out upon the feet of those who had wrought this new revolution, and already the Executive had become satisfied of its perma- neney, and its capacity to discharge its duties asa nation in the great family of nations. This seemed to him a very hasty conclusion to arrive atin a matter of eo much consequence, the revolution having been effected, too, as the President admits, by the co-operation of our own countrymen, who went there contrary to the laws of this country. ‘Was this the na- tional prudence whish had hitherto guided our course? What said Gen. Jackson, when Texas long stood knosk- ing for admittance into the Union, even after we were as- sured of her ability to govern herself, ard when she had, by repeated victories, established her title to be consi- dered one of the communities of the world? Gen. Jack. son's message gave a thorough, profound and patriotic rebuke to every principle of the present m We mix ourselves up in the affairs of other nations as dan- gerously, sometimes, Ly recognizing these communities suddenly rising into exlatence, as by entering into entan- gling alliances with foreign powers. Mr. Mason, of Va., cou/d see no objection to the refer- ence, fhe dccuments merely intormed the Senate of the actual condition of the country in which we take a great deal of interest. The President had learned that a change had taken place in the government of Nicaragua, which simply smounted to the fact that they had one ret ot law makers in lieu of another; and being satisfied the new government was # government de facto. and had sufficient ability to conduct the affairs of the country, the Presi- cent felt himself called on to receive its Minister. That was all. The argument of the Senator Sl in the case of Texas would not here. That was a new vation, and in the nations, but Nicaragua has been as a political community ly recognized ever since 1824—at one time im confederation with other States, and af- verwards eparate State. When y change thetr government, all we have cht to ing is, is ite real goversment, and have ‘ees own sufficient stably to entitle us to receive them as such? We have had a ter resident there ior several years, and she bas had om here. We have been on terms of political intercourse with Nicaragua for a series of pears, aa wo have with other governments, and the President:must, by virtue of his office, regulate cur diplomatic intercourse with for- eign ministers, This existing government cf Nicaragua bus been establirhed six or eight months, and so far aa we sre informed {t is = government of greater stability then bas existed in that unfortunate country for many years. The Senator bad spoken of war. Who are we to go to war with? Whence is the cloud to arise? Does the allude to a foreign transetlantic roment that bas more than once intermedcled, as we have never done, but have always refrained from doing, with the do- mestic as well as the political affairs of Nicaragua? Are we to be deterred by thst from acknowledging that government? Mr. Mason said if he thought the recogni- tton of the government of Nicarsgus would bring to an issue the questions pending between us and any foreign power, in whick'we are in the right, he would not hesitate to doit. We bad not refused to recognize the existing governments of France when ihey had passed througn the various atates of monarchy, anarchy, military, des- potiem, a republic, and at last ap aristocracy. Mr. Pratt, of Md., said that the government of Nica- regua being reguogrized, our citizens would have the right to go there acd make thatastable government which was not #0 now. He thought that nineteen- twentieths of thoap who had established the gouvernment were Americans, whe had gone there in violation of the neutrality lawe. QiMr. Mazon caid the recognition would not affect our neutrality lawsjin the slightest degree. Our citizens areat liberty to go where they please, and after they have reachod a foreign country they could engage in any pur- wuit they pleased. ‘Mr. WELLER, of Cal., gave a history of the struggle be- tween Chcmorro and Castillon, ssying that Walker went there by invitation of the latter, after he had succeeded in establithing himself at the head of the Nicaraguan army. The i resent government of Nicaragua was es- tablished by the aid of North Americans, at the request of the natives, and during the six months that it bas deen in operation there has been no civil war, and he knew of no party in Ni ‘were trying ‘to upset the existing government. was no other pretended government there. He alluded to British int mee in behalf of Costa Rica, and said the British government had, curing the Jast eight years, annexed two hundred thousand square being more territory than ali the Central American States combined. Our Central American affairs are fast coming toa head. It may be we shall be precipitated into « war; but it 0, we may just as well settle this matter now as at any other time. i desire war with no country. I repre- sent a constituency upon whomiwill fall the full weight of the first blow that ehall be struck; but if we are to have war, let it be on this great principle. We are on the right side, and the God ot our fathers will go with us and rhe us theivietory. ‘Thrice is he armed who hath his quarrel just.” ‘The documents were ordered to be printed, and without taking the question on the referemce the Senate adjourned, House of Representatives. ‘ASHINGTON, May 15, 1856.
