By means of th;s canal sirups would he enabled to Jmss from the Gulf of Mexico into the Pacific, and the grand scheme of ranking the two great f 'cnans thus lie accomplished. . When this contract became known to Mr Ban-lay, the British Consul at the port of New York, he protested, in the name of her Majesty's Government, ajrai:,st its fulfilment. Upon the nt nd that thcSau Juan river belonged to the Mosquito k'ii?d"ln an(l t,,at ,nR ish (ioverninent was bound to protect lite King of that coimtrv in the exercise of his territorial rights, t'pon the publication of the IJriti -' Consurs note, it wps staled and generally believed, that Mr Clayton address ed a remonstraucn to the Government of her Britanic Majesty, against the preten sions set up by its rep-escntative in New York. The public will no doubt, learn I inure i'f thin matter -ttf we-ditrtwU-day. In the meantime, it may he well enough to understand the Grounds upon which England claims the right to interfere in the riilairs of ile Mosquito Kitipr and to protect his real or supposed rights. The London pnper. lo which we have alluded, after denouncing the claim of Nicaragua to the San Juan river or-w any part f the Mosquitto territory, as absurd and pre posterous, nnd denying, as a matter of course, its right to make any compact iu re lation to that territory with citizens of the United States, proceeds to state the char acter of the British ornhn, as follower - Thrpowtiori--of Orent -Britain in ihy matter is very simple. The origin of her connejtipjj;with -Mosiiiuidatesfrom. the afllances of the bnecaneers wttu the Mosqui-1 to Indians, whom they supplied with firo arms and assisted in their warfare against Spain. This was succeeded by frequent proffert.cf surrendering the whole country, and plneing' it .jinder the tUiminion of the Sovereign of England, made by the King and Chief of those Indians. Those-proffisr,. wero, tefuscuV butthc eonntry teas, takea,. under uur ,jrotction, and the Kings of Moquito have ever cliim ed to hold under allegiance ' V England.- The Mosquito territory became in this f ish ion annexed as a kind of dependency of Ja maica; the Kin? of Mosquito, on each new reign, having hihititally gone through the ceremony ol a solemn coronation, either at Jamaica, of Belize. When, some years since, the Nicaraguans took posesion of the port of an Juan, now Grey-town, Mr. Chatfield, our consul gene ral at Guatemala was instructed to remon strate; and Irfird Aberdeen subsequently sent a consuT gcrierat rj Wosqnito to wateh -over British interests in that quarter; and, filially In 1847, the encroachment of Nica- rairuaand 1 1 ontluras theTt ormvlncreasing' with impunity, Lord Pahuerston took ihe necessary steps to prevent a recurrence of then? aggressions."-.., , . ,, This is the British side of tl.e picture, but the Lonisville Journal, whose editor is evidrm tly thoroughly itiformed on this subject, -gives a very different, and we doubt not a far more truthful version of the story. Tho following is the-Journal's statement. "The kingdom of Mosquito, of which mention is now for tho first time made in international diplomacy, is a tract of country which runs from ihe mouth of the river Satv Juan iu latitude 10, along the coast of the Gulf of Mexico, north ward three or four hundred miles. It runs along the S 'n Juan to the Fa ;!s of Machuca sixty miles up that river, at the head of ship navigation, Such are the. geographical limits of this most wrethed country, which has .been dignified as the kingdom of Mosquito for a few years past by the British Government. Between some of the native chiefs of this country and some British merchants of Jamaica there had been some traffic carried, on by - -mans. of wh4ch - the Mosquitoes had become indebted to the Jamaica " Tra ders. The Mosquito , chiefs were re quired to mortgage their whole territory to" the mcrrhhntsTo secure" 'payment of the debt- What right these, chiefs had to give a, mortgage or lien on the whole terri tory of Mosquitoes to secure a private claim in which the Mosquitoes generally had no interest whatever is not stated. That it was a most flimsy contract is manifest. But, flimsy as the whole transact.on was, the British ministry perceived that it would afford a pretext by which Mosqui to might be an nexed to the empire on whose dominion the the sun nevci sets. A very solemn firee was therefore enacted at the instance of the British Government. An Indian boy of the SJosqnito race was taken to Jamaica, and there crowned King nf Mosquito. The poor savage understood but precious little c f the flummerry that was enacted over him, but he umsglad to have- a ridiculous crown put on his head and n very fine looking rohe hunj on his shoulders. He was salu ted by the title of ki")g, an was carried back (viiMo!tnito in wnch styWas tmch a monarch deserved. There m a place called Graystown at the month of the San Juan. A British man of war suddenly made - its appearance ofi" the mouth of the San Jusn, sent its boats on shore, and, fook forcible possession of the town. A British consul has ever since resided at the court of his Majesty King of, the Mosquitoes. The prinnifwl business of this consul is to take care or Ins Majesty, that , to see Dial he is prop erlv provided Willi as much pork and beanf aa ha canniaslicateTaiUi u lilticil jatffiiTriiT rum as is required to digest It and to keep the King in a comfortable State of inehna tion. The British Government has obliga- terl iiaolf fn nrrWl th M.m.ii Kinir in pummalion of the eontract .entered iuto. he bet ween Nicaragua and Uie America Nayi .gation Company." rir- 'L - ' - The Journal further state, that soon after tiie British ' agerit : was seat to the Mosquito country he endeavored to procure from some of the States of Central Ameriea an acknowledgment of the territorial rights of the .Mosquito King. But these States promptly refused to recognise the preten sions set up for this mock sovereign by his British protectors. There ii every reason to believe that tlifr motive mat the motive which originally prompted Great Britain to assume the guardian ship of the Mosquito Kingdom, was a desire to bring within her own juris diction the route of Uie ship canal, the con struction of which has been eonh inplated for maay year past. Iler . obii.'it .was. doubtlpss'to anticipate... the United States in getting a foothold upon this coast and thus lo secure to her pelf the privilege of uniting the two Oceans, should such a vork ever be fuiind pracAaIlo aud expedient. Recent events have couspired to increase her anxiety upon this subject. The U." Stutes have now virtual possum of ihe Isth mus of Panama, with a grant of exclusive rights and privileges from the Government of New Granada. A railroad across that narrow strip of laud will soon he constructed, an3 to the V cTtates"viW'Be1bWjriVJ- lege of prescribing the terms by which I comincrciiil in'ercourse between the Atlan tic and Pacific Ocean shall be regulated. ' It is but ntitunl that England should view this progress of American enterprise and American infletiee in the central portion of ' the -.Continent, with a jealous eye and that she sl.ouid seek to offset the Panama Ilail- i road bv seizing upon the next best route of j communication between the two Oceans. I The English papers state, that it is the ! fixed determination of tho British Goyern nient to protect the Kin of Mosquito in Ht-4h iiitorciiio of hw tcmtorial jigKia; which means, 'that it will interfere to pre vent ihe execution of the contract bctjyeen rthry Cfbrrfmrmt:me,t" American Company even at the hazard of provoking a war with the United States. We attach but little consequence, however, j to these belligerent manifestations. The itimi hiivl nt vthfn Kiio-hiud could afford to go to war, for any other than the gravest consiilerationerand in those latter days her discretion lias on more than one occasion, been found a least equal to her Valor. tiie" Mosaurro qup.stion. Tiie Washington Globe has the follow ingseirst'ole suggestion upon this subject: "Much belter would it be for the United States and British Governments to unite cordially in an entmfe cordiale, and make the canal across the Isthmns at their joint expense, if it can be made, and thus become Ltnefaclo's to this continent and to all manr kind, than to nuarrel oboutthe .right of way. th-is defeaung the project perhaps; ths one claiming through the Nicarague Govern men! which tra the sovereignly de. jure; ihe other through a miserable, naked, stu pid savage, whom, to.tbifjio res,t gU.v lliey nave set up ks auerrtx inn-c, and furnished him with pair of breeches for his cojonation the first he ever wore.'' Tbeie can Tbe no doubt that this would be the.Iure interest of botli partiesr' The United Slates, under the present Adminis-tration.-will in all cses, avoid, a wat lf.it. be possible, consistently with the naiionsi honor, while the claim of Great Britain is so very weak so entirely incapable of standing the if st of a niiical examihatioti that she would be ashamed to go to war in support of it, in face of tho civilized worh!. We have become more thoroughly convin ced than We cvet were, that such is the nn ture "of this eiaim; from the perosal of very powerful article in tho Nashville Banner, i.i which the whole subject is thoroughly discussed. The writer answers an snicle in JVfeGregor'f in Commercial Statislics, We propose to publish his article at length, in order that the reader may have a full un derstanding ol the entire quesiinn. For ihe present it is sufficient to say, that bv thf treaties of 1783 and 1785. the BRITISH GOVERNMENT EXPRESSLY UE- X'OGNISEU-.T.HE-TU'LK OF SPAIN TO THE MOSQUITO -C O AS T. H Y NAME, nnd to all the territory of llondu ra, with the djacent iliuls that the Spanish Government stipulated that the English should be allowed to cut dye woods in those regions,-while the British Govern ment, at the same time, covenanted that they should make no permanent settlement ihnl Great Britain contracted to remove all her subjects, not engaged as shove, from the SpsnUh territoiies, within eighteen months from the exchange of talifications and that she farther engaged not lo up. ply ths Indians with arms and ammunition. The argument Hist Spain never conqurced the Mosquitoes, is tres e I as ridiculous. She never, ssys the wiiter, conquered the Comanehes, or A par lies, yet who ever dis puted her sovereignly over their territory or will dispute that of ilia United States over them now? The fact is, that the early dis-J covrrers psul no regard to Indian titles, and no State was more remarkable lor treating them with contempt than England herself. The autherily of ihe Dublin Univeisitv Magazine is quoted lo show the u ler want of a I tide on the pail nf Great rtr'tain. A succinct his'ory is given of eirenm. stancos. .attending the rornnation of his I resent Majesty of Mosquito, who was, at the time of such coronation, but fifteen vesrsold.
