Besides this very beneficial decroo the Assambly has done nothing. The deputies are studying privately, not the difficulties that the Cass and Yriasari tr way con- tain, but the ones that thev may create in ir to avoid ita ratidcation, Any treaty which may be made with the United States will always be considered by the immense majority of this people, and espe- cially by the deput and the members of tho government who belong to the reigning party, oply as a mere ruse of the United States to entrap them, to. chees them, to filibuster them, and finally to ewallow em up The ratification, therefore, of the pending treaty will be ‘undoubtedly by this government aod tho ma- jority of this Assembly as long and ag far as possible. The people, although they are not conscious of it, are evtirely entlayed, morally, to England drst, and to France recondly. Onthe other hand they have a tenacious re- pugnance to the Americans.

These two are their promised Meseiahs; and while y are still persuaded that these two Saivators will come, they will find » thousand pretexts not to take any action on the pending treaty. If they do not find any plausible means to keep it out of the Arsembly, President Martinez will try proba- bly to atop it some way or another. The members of the Assembly will sav that the season of the year is too hot, apd they want some two or three mont refresh- ment and vacation.

It \s understood that during the latter months of Mr, residence in Nicaragua, he had occasion to make com paints of several acta of that government in derogation, as he views them, of the rights of American citizens reat. dent therein, and opposite not only to the friendly senti mepts which he conveyed to that State from the Cabinet at Washington, but a'so to the spirit exhibited by the authorities of Nicaragva, pending the question of the re- ception of their Minwter (Yrisurri) by the United States. In bie closing letter it is und: Mr. Jones reca pitalates, and expresses the opinion that the acts and facte which he sets forth as directly in hix ksowledge, are cal lated jeatly to, incense the American government and peor le, and ought to induce severe retribution and preven pve means, A military order, issued December 19 foreigners, male and female, resident in the which inc.udes the Transit rou, to present themselves before the Governor within & limited tine, under penalty, i one of the acts protested against.

Subsequent to the ca pitniation of Rivas be was associated with Gen, Martnes in the chief magirtracy of the country. The question that bas been suggested—whether Commo dore Pavidwg wax justified by public law in entering the territory of Nicaragua to seize General Walker and his companione-.we are told het cocupied other minds than those of politicians of the United States. President Marti nez, of Nicaragua, perceived the legal diffloulty at the first Wwetant, ond proposed it for solution to vr. Carey Jones, eEyreering atthe same time hie disbelief of the alleged fact. Mr. J. neither aweentead nor dissented witn respect to the question of law, but assured the President that if the authoritics of the territory supposed to have bee lated should make @ complaigt, he was quite sure that tl government of the Uaited States would pot only set te mere at liberty, but return them to the piace whenee were taken, and make any ober proper reparation, and that he shouls be very willing w transmit the remon atrance.
