10 — Pr-teut of Senor Marcoleta Against the Re~ . of the Walxer-Rivas Goverament se aad Wasmmaron, May 17, 1866. The undersigned, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of the Republic of Nicaragua near Hee British Majesty’s and other European courts, and who bas latterly exercised the same functions neat the government of the American Union, invited by the See- retary of State of the Cuited States, hastened, on the ith instant, to the State Department, where he was for- mally notified that his diplomatic furc'ions had termi- nated, the President having decided on receiving and re- cognizing, on the ssid day, the person designated to represent at Washington, the government of that re- public. The undersigned orally protested, as it waa his duty, against such a decision, and Ia his turn declared to the Secretary of State bis intention to immedia‘ely address a similar protest to ail the foreign Ministers and chiefs of iplomatic missions resident at Washington. The undersigned is uxabie to discover the important and weighty reasons which may have prevailed with the government of the United States for abandoning at present the policy which has been opportunely and wisely ret forth in the notes of the Hon. Secretary of State for the United S'ates, under date of the 21st of De- ‘ember, 1855, and the 7th of Feoruary, 1956, dirested to he Minister of the so cailed republic of Nicaragus, when Le was solieitirg bis recepiion and the recognition of bis fficial ckaracter, Perhaps taere were thea prevailing ¢asora ayparently mote plausible than those which to- (ay ere assigned for the justification of a political act of the greatest importance ani consequence. “These who destroyed the tormer government of that State” (Nicaragua), ‘aid the Secretary, on the 2lst December, 1855, “‘were not cf!izens of that repablic, aor have those who resily are so, or any considerable portion of them, manifesved, as far as it is koown here, thetr thee approbation of, or consent to, the present state of political affairs in Nicaragua. Until this shall happen the Preeti does not ceew it expedient to reseive either you or any other person as Minister of the government of the republic of Nicaragua "” What is now the concition of the raid iy Heber of Ni- Oaregua, or rather that of (he iaraders who left the ports of the Uion, armed, organized, and, ig many eases, re- cruited, accompanied and even officarcd by the special agents ‘commissioned by the chies# of ths fiisusters? Certain'y in various ias’ances the authcrities were ob- Liged to interfere, and aciua ly interfered, in order to maintain intact the legislation and evea the honor of the country, ba’, nevertheless, N carsgua remains inundated with blood, and infeated by (he presence of the same moa who derided the laws, mocked the authorities, and lett these shores in the presence of the same federal aa- thorities. In apswer to ® communteation wherein the Charge d’ Affaires of Costa Rica complaiued of so grievous an of- fence, the honorable State Secretary of the Unised States replied under date of the 10vh of Decarsber, 1855 :— “The undersigned is informed cf (American) citizens took part in the struggle, naviug been called ia as ausiitaries by citizens of ths: republic, (Nicaragus.) If, by acoepting this fuvitacion, they should have violated the cu'ies imposed on them by the laws of the United States, they will be called to account as soon as they re- turn urder the juris iction of this country.” Lovg would be the list of names of thove who, having openiy violated the lawa of :h’s republic, visited and af terwards recruited in ‘he cities of this country, leav! again in company of their trocps, without the federal an- thotitiea ever calling them to account for these opan vio- la: ions of the iawa. The reasons whieb, officially and offitiously, are to-day alleged for the justitieation of the acknowledgment of a state of thirgs created and maiutained by American ad- venturera who, more tban once, have beem qualified by » highly p'aced public functionary as pirates, roboera and assassins, anias bavirg dishonored the Unien, would, perbags, hsve been more opportunely adduced at a for- mer period; whereas they svem to igcore the treason per- petrated ia Granada on the 13h of October, 1855, of the circumstances which preceded, acc:mpacied and even nulified the capiculation of the 234 cf the same month, coasluced and sigoed, not on noutral terri: tory, but uncer the tenor of Axerisan bayonets and’ revolvers: not by legal and iegitimate means, but by moral vio’ence brougat to bear upon Geaeral Co:- tal, who was compelled to hasten to Granada, and who actuslly went there with the sole intention of saving the life ot a conciderable number «f inoffensive and distta- bed Nicaraguan citizens, wh> bad been ianumaniy rows icto prison and threa’ened with death unless the Geceral in- chief sud mitted, within a fixed term, to the upju:t, vandalic and atrocious demacds of the filibus- ter chief.

Before Recorder Smith. | Yesterday was set down for sentence to be rassed at the Special Sessions upon Wm. §, Lster and Chas. Walters, upon their plea of guilty to an assault some | time since upon Joseph L. Smiti, one of the editors | of the Swnday Courier. At the previous hearings in this case there had always been in attend- ance a retinue of filibusters, friends of the par- ties who had implicated themselves in this unfortunate editor cowhiding affair. In the present instance there was no such manifestation. ‘The counsel alone were present. The usual cases occupying this court were disposed of with no fur- ther manifestation, saving the presence of the coun- sel. The names of Wm. Lyster and Chas. Walters were then called, but they did not answer to their names. The Recorder ‘thereupon declared their recognizances forfeited,and directed the clerk to adjourn the court. Mr. T. B. Van Buren, one of the counsel of the non-appearing gentlemen, desired the Court to hear him a moment before adjournment, when perhaps it might change its view as to ordering forfeiture of bat. He proceeded to say that he was the last indi- vidual to say anything for those who should commit an inexcusable offence; but as in this instance, where a grave offence was charged, judgment was suspended when the parties were about to leave the country, he did not see why the same course could not now be pursued. Recorder—That can be answered but when they are before me, Mr. Van Buren—The reason of their absence is shown in a letter received this morning by Judge Phillips, my associate counsel. The following letter was handed to the Recor ri— iy Parenaon, N. J., Monday, May 26, 1856, Dear JupGz—Walters aud I came here this morning to see a friend of mine upon scme business. Charley baa been taken so sick that I am afraid we snall not be back in time for the Court to-morrow—if so, please attend to our busines. We thall be back as foon as possible. Yours, W. 8, LYSTER, Mr. Van Buren resuming further,urged suspension of judgment, as the parties intended immediately leaving the country, and particularly as the assault- ing parties were gentlemen, in contradistinction to loafers and disorderly characters, in whose case this course was often pursued. Recorder—An assault by a loafer might not be noticed when a similar assault from a gentleman would be a matter of great seriousness. _ Mr. Van Buren—All I will ask is that these par- ties be permitted to withdraw their pleas of guilty and go before a jury at the General Sessions? Recorder—The case has gone too far for this; T have read the affidavits; 1 would like to suspend judgment, did the circumstances warrant it, but in this case infliction of punishment is called for public exampl consider this case as requiring prompt action, and unless pene ace tion was given, the Court would justly be liable to censure. Ex-Judge Phillips followed ‘in some remarks, stating that public officers and others had offered him voluntary affidavits, setting forth new facts in the case, making it a proper case for a jury to pass upon. The Recorder reiterated his statement that it was too late for this now, and adjourned the court. Alexander C. Lawrence, Esq., was the bail ($500 each) for Lyster and Walters. City Intelligence. TERRIRLE ROW IN THE FIRST WARD—SEVERAL PO- LICEMEN INJURED. A very serious row took place lest night, corner of Warhirgton aud Carlisie streets, whereby several police men were seriously ixjured. It appears that a fight took place among a lot of runrers, when officers Hogan and Dwyer entered and endeavored to arrest the riotars, They were instantly set upon by the runners, the clubs taken from them, and they were cread‘ully beaten, Word was sent to the station house and the patrol wag sent to quell the riot, butthey were kept back for some times, and 6nally they succeeded in srresting two men w2o were innocent, the real culprits having escaped. Officer Hegan was dreadfully cut about the head, and had to be taken to the bospital. Oficer Dwyer was taken home, alsohtrt. Acftizen, whose name we could not learn, was also much hurt. Tse affa'r will be investigated to- gay.

A large crowd soon collected, and atier the subsicence of the panic somewhat the force in attendance, under the direction of the Fourth ward volice, who were in prompt attendance, began to remove the mees of rubbish, and soon disclosed to view Pat No. 1, buried waist deep in ‘he ruins.

The fifth floor waa occupied by John Wood, umbrella manu- facturer; loss about $150; no inturance. ‘The crigin of the fire is under investigation by the Fire Marshal.

Iwasa passergeron board the schooner Francls A Godwin, and as there bas appeared-in your célamns some s‘atements of @ rather uvgenerous charaster towards Ler Captain, I feel It my duty, if possible, to correct them through the tame medium, As regards the collision, I know nothing, (I being asleep at the time it ocourred, as also was the Captain, and consequently no blame can porsibly be attached to him,) but as soon as the schooner struck the steambost, he was at bis post and immediate- Jy,eet about taking in sail, in order to gat alongside of the stesmboat, which was accomplished in as shorta tine as possible urder the circumstances. The blow baviag knocked the large anchor off the bow of the schooner, he was hard to steer. But encugh. Having got all’ the pasrengers from the steamboat, with the exception of those taken off by the schoorer Maybee, he proceeded to have his anchor got cn the bows, which belag scoom- plished, he ixmediately started tor New York; but see- ing the wind was tacressing, and knowing the difficulties of bexting tke distance of some thirty miles agsinst a strorg bead wind end tide, he proposed to the paasen- gers to take them to the Delaware Breskwater. Some were in favor, but many against it, so he yielded to them, acc, with a s‘rong determination to do all in his power to se them, pushed on for New York. Dr. Elting *peaks of having nothirg to eat. Could he expect to have anythirg at such a roment as that? Something to eat, inceec! Allow me to inform the Dector the Captain éia rot expect so many visiters just at that time, ac conrequently was not prepared to feast them; but the cock made coffee and tea, which he handed around, 48 best be could in the crowded cabin, to all who wished It, Tcere was aleo hard bread a plen:y; and if th e Doctor was too fertidious to partake of pot lack at such @ time, it was but just be should go without.

H. Leavitt, Rev. Dr. E, P, Rogers, Daniel Lord, Eeq., Thomas C. Perrip, Eeq. and Isaac D. Jones, Esq. Rev. Dr, Danney reported from the committee appoint ed for the purpoee, a pastoral letter addressed to the cburches, upon the destitution of the ministry. The report urges the necessity of the churches coming for- ward with s more literal peouniary support to the minis- try. The report also refers to the action taken by the Astembly, ip 1854, upon this subject, and recommends that the action then taken be either re-afirmed or modi- fied, as the Assembly might deem prudent, Rev. S. Bamp offered a resolution, as an amendment to the report, to the effect that » committee be appriated to enter into correspondence with the Presbyteries, with a view to obtain accurate information as to the require- ments for the sustenance of ministers, &0, The amend- ent was voted down. The report was then adopted. Rev. Dr. Rick moved that the editors of religious ie pers connected with the church be requested to publish the pastoral letter. The motion was agreed to. ‘The unfinished business was then tsken up—the com- laint against the Synod of New Jersey by the Stillwa- jer session. The question being to sustain the complaint, Rev. Drs. Rice, Hewitt, Phillips, and others, discussed the question till further, and v. Dr. Thornwell, in order to- cbviate the ‘embarrassment as to the technicality in- volved in the affair, offered the following aa an amend. ment to Dr. Rice’s motion: Resolved, That the General Assembly sustain the com- plaint pro’ forma, and direct the Session of Sullwater church to give Mr. Schaffer a regular . ‘The amerdment was adopted, and Dr. Rice’s resolution, as amended, was agreed to by's large mojority. The Assembly then proceeded to the consideration of the complaint of the cones cf Moncey, Pa., against the action of the Synod of Philadelphia. A recess of half an hour here took place. On reassembling, Rey. Dr. Pro intreduced a series of resolutinns »ppro! the recently declared intention of the American Bid! ty arnish every destitute tamily in the country with a copy of the Holy Scriptares, and recommenaing the enterprise of the sosiety to the cor «| co-operation of all the churches under the care of the Assembly. from Rev. J. W. McClean, Recorder ef Board Directors of Umicn Theological Seminary, tendering each member of the Assembly a copy of the charge, &., Gelivered on the occasion of the installation of Kev. Dr. Hiteboock as Washburn professor in that institution. Rey. Mr. Ropczrs, from the Committee on Leave of Ab- gence, reported that leave had been granted to a number of members who were called awsy by imperative busi- ners. ‘The consideration cf the complaint against the Phila- delphia Synca was then resumed. The complainants are Meters. Waller, Gibson and Smalley. In this case ft peared that the ehareh of Moncey ar- rajgned Mr. W. A. Peterkin on three charges. On two of them he was condemned; but on the first charge, the elders of the church being interested, the case was re- ferred to the Se ary, of Northumberland, who tried and ccncemned Mr. Peterkin on the first charge. Peter: kin prea to the Synod of Philadelphis, who deslared the whole proceedings null and ld, by reason that one of the elders who tried him bad not been duly installed, ‘and because there was a suspicion that the Court below was influenced by some feelisg of prejudice. The appel- lsnts row appeal from the action of the Synod. The compla‘nts, records and papers connected with the proceedings were read in eatenso. Rev. R. K. RoGERs, in bebalf of Rey. Mr. Smally read a very voluminous statement, setting forth » minute de ail of all steps taken in the matter in the Courts below, and criticizing with some severity the course pursued by the Synod in tke premizes. Rey. Dr. Gipson, (one of the appellants,) was next heard. In the course of his remarks he stated that + reason he dissented from the action of the Synod wa Vhat he believed they erred in declaring the pr: of the Muncey Session illegalon account of one of the e alleged) not having ben ly fostall felt quite satisfied that if not formally in. \, Mr. was to all intenta and purpcses, however, regularly an Elder of the Sesion. Rev. Dr. McCLEAN, of Faston, Pa., appeared on ths part of the Syncd, and examined the records of the Session of Muneey for the purpose of chowiog that there had been in no manner an industion of Mr. Sample{as an’ elder. He ecntended that not only had there been no formal in- stallation, but the record showed nothing to lead to the corclusion that the installation of Mr. Sample was in the mind of any member assisting at that Session. Rev. Dr, Leyavrn followed upon the same aide. ‘The Assembly then took # recess till 8 o'clock P. M. EVBNING SESSION. At 8 o'clock P. M. the Asse mbly came to order. Elder Henpricke, of Ind., cffered the following resolu- tion:— Resolved, That the sincere thanks of the Assembly are ue to the families of this city and {ts vicinity, so far as wi e been their gueste, for the kindness and hospitali- ty extended to us individually; and also to the reporters and | publishers of the daily and other papers of this city, for the respectiul and accurate reports and noti:es which they have mace of the proceedings of this body. Rey. R. K. RopGERS moved, as an amendment, that the thanks cf the Assembly be tendered to the First Presby- terian church of this city, for the use of their house. Rey, Dr. Pairs, pastor of the church, made a few re- marks inthis conrection, hoping, very modestly, that such an amendment would no: be preesed, because his ¢:rgr:gation had done no more than what they, as Pres byterians, felt bound to do in the premises. ‘The amerdment was accepted by Mr. Hendricks, and the resolution was adopted unanimously. The Assembly resumed the consideration of tne com- plaint against the Philadelphis Synod. Rey. Mr. WaLurR, one cf the complainants, spoke at considerable length eat the action of the Synod, and went over all the minutia of the case, but they did not appear to embrace any featu:es of peculiar public in- terest. Mr. W. contended, that though Mr. Sample may xot have been formally installed in elder, yet his elec- tion by the Lae Lied to thi fice, and the public Saree’ rom the pulpit of the same, constituted im de facto an elder; to hold otherwise, he sonceired, tice, He urged these two objections, also, viz.:\ that the sitting of Mr. Sample elder) in the session did not affect ihe result there, because there was no division on the vote; and egain, his sitting as elder coula not possi- bly affect the decisions of the jadieatory of the Presby- tery of Northumberland, because he was not init. And moreeyer, he maintained that there was no evidence to show that Elder Sample had not been duly iasialled. Rev. Dr. McCizan replied briefly. Rev. Dr. Reysvry followed in support of the Synod after which the aasem- bly adjourned jill this mornizg without tating the qu tion. Previous to the adjournment, however, the thants of the body were voted to Rev. 8.
