But nothing could be done, and affairs will continue to be mismanaged until a change is made in the head of the Commission. TAZ BNRAGED EXHINITORS are azfiating the proposition of a grand indignation moot- ing, at which a resolation expressing their want of confl- denca in Mr, Beckwith will be unanimously passed, together with another asking his prompt removal.

They had fondiy imagined that on the Ist of April all their apartments would have been rented at the extrava- gant prices to which they had been advanced, that their shops would be thronged with buyors eager to make investments, and that their hoieis would be filled with guesia, Thus far, however, such {8 certainly not tho caso.

Those docu- ments are throe in number:— 1. The treaty of twenty-four articlos, signed on the | Par- tinister 19th of April of that year, with tho object of sottling in ‘a definite mannor the separation of Belgium from Hol- land and fixing the limits of tho respective territories of those countries. 2.

John Bull Hunting up Claimants Against Uncle Sam—He Wants to Offset Alabama Chatms with Walker and Greytown—Manu- facturt Public Sentiment Agaiust the Uaited States. a The steamship Santiago de Cuba, Captata Smith, from Greytown, Nicaragua, 10th inst., arrived at this port yesterday. , The new President of Nicaragua, Dr. Guzman, has ap- pointed bis predecessor, General Don Thomas Martinez, ‘a8 Minister from that republic to the Court of St. James. Tho Nicaraguans regard the mission as of paramount importance, as it will have an important bearing on tho settiement of the Nicaragua debt abroad and of their claims against the United States Sor the damage done by the Walker raids and the bombardmentof Greytown; on the organization of compa- nies in England, France and Germany to foster emigta- tion from those countriea,to Nicaragua; on the negotia- tion of a loan for domestic improvements much needed by the country ; on the making of certain treaties with the German States; 23 well as of postal amrangements with European couptries. In connection with this subject the Porvenir of Rivas, April 1, has the following article ‘on the claims of Nicatagua agailist the United states:— Ono of the leading aud most interesting items in politica is the claim of the United States against England for 3 dono by the Alabama and other rivateers which were fitted out io England during the st war. England geems to recognize the justico of tho claimants, and the liquidation and payment will most likoly be'settled by arbitration. When a nation makes ‘a claim against another equally powerful, when the claim fs of such mngnitude as in the present caso, it is to ‘be expected that neither the one would claim anything ‘unjus', nor the other submit to anything which could bo contrary to tho interest of the nation, and, farslose, sub- fect itself to the severe criticism of public oninion and to sho just indignation of a people jealous of its national honor. ‘The English government either sympathized with the Southern confederacy, or it was not watchful enongh to chrry into effect tho most strict neutrality according to the law of nations. She was therefore to be blamed, either for being sn accomplice or for gross negligence. in either case it wonld bs but full justice or tho parties who cause the damage should pay for them. Our paper has been established prinoipally with the object of forwarding the interest and development of this repuvite, now weak, but destined to be eventanlly an important country. Givil wars, a direct connivance of the United States government with Walker's scbome in favor of tue cxtension of sinvery, the ontire neglect of the neutrality laws, tho uncalled for-and whjustifable act of the notorious Greytown bomberd- ment, with tho burning and total destructionsof that then flourishing town, and this dono under orders of the United States government by the crow of the United States sloop-of-war Cyane—all these historizal facts have done incalculable injury to Nicaragua, and-have rotarded her progress for more than twenty yenrs. Now, would the United States lay acinim it England had forwarded or even permitted filibuster expeditions against the Wnited States? If tho British had it New York, Philadeiphia and Washington, the same way as Walker jen ‘destroyed the three priucipal citiesof this country—Granada, ‘a and Riva; if such had been the consequence of direct conniv: m the part of tho ani British, or through thotr gross neg much more power Precanastaed proofs ‘Oba he United States I phcneny — depres which back up her present claims against Englan .
