Tfcr British m In thf Territories of frotral
Cmorlea.
Washinoton, May 10, 1^57.
To the Editor of the Union: Sir. 1 have tor sumo
time found an absorbing study in tlie political his
tory of the American isthmus, particularly tlia. part
of it relating to the territorial aggressions ni'Great
Britain in Central America, on which subject I
have already, with permission, addressed several
public letters to the press. At this pai ticu'ar junc
ture, when the Central-Aruericaii matter is reported
to be still in statu quo, or to have been further
complicated by the rejection of tlte treaty, I have
thought thcl the second thought of the people ou
the subject might be appropriately engag-'d by a
review of the question, made up from historical
aources, to which access hitherto has nokbeencom
mon. 1 have therefore gathered some notes on the
subject, and place them at your disposal, as com
posing a history, complete in all respects, and, I
venture to say. not a little striking in its informa
tion, of the history of the British title in the ter
ritories of Central America.
The facts of the case deserve a fair summing up,
and I shall be guilty of no appeal to the popular
temper on the subject, except such as may be di
rectly sug< -ted and fully warranted by the text of
history.
The asserted claims of Great Britain in the ter
ritories of Central America may be stated as the
Mosquito protectorate, the Belize establishment,
(British Honduras,) and tie Bay Islands colony.
The Mosquito title, in its tirst source, is altoge
ther derived from a historical assumption namely,
that the native Indians, of whom so little is known
that their proper name even has become lus to his
tory. never lost their independence by c inquest
but have continued from the remotest tint. « a fiee
and independent nation, and capable of acting pol
itically as such. Nicaragua has repeati (by re
claimed tin disputed territory as her domain, by-
reason of her succession to the rights of Spain.
On the other hand! England has maintain- d, evi
dently for lu r own purposes, the authority of the
Indian King by virtue of a transfer of bis territo
ries into her protection in the year JG~'T. The his
torical eviib nee for the Independence ot Mosqnitia,
on the strength of which this protectorate is as
serted, is altogether negative—being mainly ad
duced from the singular fact that no ruins ot any
fortifications or churches have been found in proof
of the country havingever been subjugated to the
dominion ol Spain and held in possession by her.
In fact, however—admitting, as we may, the
aignificanceofthe evidence referred to England,
in her assumed protectorate, can derive no benefit
from these historical doubts. In the treaty of
Paris, drawn tip in 1785, England had not made
any profession of a protectorate in Central Mnrica;
and by her own silence the claim^of Spain was
virtually admitted.
Bur, in 1'll, England gave proof of her deter
mination to secure the country as a dependency
on the British empire. In that year San Juan was
threatened by a man-of-war; while the country all
along the coast was visited by Colonel Meadonaid,
the British superintendent of Belize, who. under
the disgui«>- of a protectorate, established an ab
solute control, and deception and duress, over the
aimple savages. Sach au impostured administra
tion England continued to maintain in Mosqnitia,
the crowning act of which was the seizure ot the
port of San .Juan in 1848. Just six days alter the
celebration of the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo,
■when it befaare certain that California would fall
info the hands of the United States, and when an
interoceanic transit bad become a paramount object
of interest, an attack was made upon San Juan
by the British men-ot-war, the Alarm and Vixen,
and the port seized, arul under the name of Grey-
town, and with an English municipal organization,
added to the Mosquito dominions. The outrage
was committed under the pretext that the port be
longed to the Mugqurto territory, which extended,
as it was claimed, to the lagoon south of the town.
Under such a shallow- pretext, England secured
her vile acquisition, although she herself had pre
viously recognised San Juan as Nicaraguan ter
ritory, and it had been, as history, tradition, and
the monuments of the country attested, a principal
port of entry under the dominionofSpain.
It is scarcely necessary to allude to the utter
destitution of the Mosquito protectorate of right or
title as a territorial claim. Apart from any quit
claim which England may have implied or made in
the treaty of Paris and that of 1786 with Spain, it is
O^-ident that her assumed protectorate could, in the
’ reason of things, only have extended to the mere
C ersons of miserable and obscure savages, iucapa-
le of the territorial right of civilized nations,
and could never have rightfully implied the
exercise of political sovereignty, which in time
past she has virtually claimed in Mosqnitia.
As to the Belize stablishment, the British us
urpation of territorial sovereignty there has been
equally characteristic*! of the policy of England to
turn every privilege to advantage bytci.amiug more
than is conceded, and to make the most specious
pretexts, how ever weak in invention. It w as by vir-
tueoftreath swith Spain that the English obtained
the right to cut mahogany and dye woods at the
Belize: but all domain or sovereignty was positive
ly excluded. This limited and peculiar establish
ment constitutes really everything to which Eng
land can justly pretend iu Central America or Mex
ico, and our own government has been willing to
recognise it as such. We should insert the ex
planation that Belize is not properly a part of Cen
tral America, but of Mexico, having formerly be
longed, probably, to the viceroyalty of Yucatan;
and that the questions connected with it are
scarcely subjects for any practical interference on
the part of our government while there is sueh a
complication of partu s to the issue of territorial
sovereignty, and Guatemala chooses to submit :o
encroachmi ntson her territory. It is very evident,
however, that, in establishing the dominionof so-
called “British Honduras,” the tei ritorial sov
ereignty was usurped in open disregard of the terms
of the original treaty concessions: and that not
satisfied w.th the false preteneeof sovereignty in
the premis-s, Great Britain has perpetrated the
bolder critn- of adding to her political estate, at the
expense of the neighboring powers. The very
name lfself of British Honduras is said to give
color to a ciaim to certain islands in the bay which
had been notoriously reeognis ed as Hundurian
territory.
The chief and most disri.net issue made by our
government in the Central American imbroglio
had been in relation to Kuatan and the ‘•Bay-
Islands."which we refer to as having been wrested
from Honduras. The history of the foundation of
the so-called “Bay Islands colony” is the brief one
of the open violation ot law, without circuity or
pretext. But the early accounts of thess islands
and their w hob: history are of sufficient interest to
refer to for some time back, as related to w hat was
the most impoitant issue in past negotiations be
tween the governments of the United States and
Great Britain, and especially as throwing light upon
the course (if aggression and rapacity that England
has pursued for centuries in this quarter of the
western hemisphere.
What are spoken of as the “Bay Islands” com
prise a number of beautiful islands dotting the
Bay of Honduras Many of tin ru grow valuable
woods, and one affords the best harbor on that part
of the coast. The natives of these inlands, who
were very peaceable and docile, were captured in
large numb, rs by the early navigators, and sold as
slaves in Spain; and this, with the ravages of the
i 'urates, almost completed the work of depopulation,
n a short time only three of the islands were oc
cupied by the remnants -of the native popu-
tion, viz, Kuatan, Utila, and Guunaja. Ti.e most
remarkable and important of these islands is Ruat-
aa, which alone remained inhabited down to the
present century, and ou which the English, for
jr.ore than two centuries, have striven to keep a
footboid.
In the year 1642 Kuatan and Guanaja were
taken possession of by a party of English free
booters, who were not resisted by the Indians.—
The seizure of so important a position as these
islands was calculated to excite the fears of the
Spanish settlers in Central America. The Eng
lish, from their facility of position, might at any
time easily invade the neighboring ports.o: might
cut off' their communication with Spain, '1 he
governor of Havanas, and the captain-general of
Goufemala, with the President of the Audiencia of
San Domirgo, excited by these apprehens ; o;is, and
the complaints of the priests that the neophytes of
the country were iu danger of being pel verted by
the heresies of their invadors, made common cause
in expelling the enemy. The governor of Havanna
despatched a fleet of four smtdl vessels-of-war,
under the command of Don Francisco de Vullalva
y -Toledo, to sail directly for the island of Kuatan
with the view of surprising the English there. A
scDtincl ou the English fortifications discovered
the troops as they were discmlmrking from the
fleet under cover of the night, and gave the alarm
A allslva, the captian of the fleet, foiled in strategy,
made a gallant eft auk at .the head of alt his men on
the parapets, which were, however, successfully
defendea by the garrison. He withdrew to hi’s
f- ships as soon as the night had come on, and with
T ice t^e execuse of a scarcity of ammunition he im-
' 00 * mediately set sat! for the port of San Ti mas de Cas-

Afti r s. scries of wise delays, characteristic of the
■ t rriterial policy ot England, and in the expecta-
; tion that her successive aggression might have
mellowed by time into a color of right, the final
I a.-t of usurpation of the island was crnsnmmated
i as quietly as if it had been known as British terri
tory to all the world. On the ltth March, 1852,
the Queen's warrant was issued, constituting Rua-
patients. I do not qticstii ti the purity of the
motive which prompts them thus to attempt the
achievement ot a moral impossibil.ty: but as the
Irishman said, who saw a young bull madly at

under full headway, by baw ling, “Be Jasus I like

not the case. Besides the other great differences,
the Summer Red Bird has no crest upon his head,

a remedy that has been tested in hundreds and
thousands of eases, always; or nearly always, with
the happiest results—a remedy tliat enjoys the con
fidence of almost the entire population in sections
of the count!y where it has been introduced—a
r medy that is acknowledged by both those in
and out of the profession, as possessing a remedial
worth that should entitle it to every confidence.
It is known to be a curative agent, no k a humbug
—it is kuown to be a rem dy, not an imposition.
YYhat is the gr. at object and aim of the physician?
To find out remedies. WMiat does the sick patient
ciave and require? Remedies. YYhat are neces
sary- tu his recovery? Not professional exclusive
ness, not arrogant assumption, not long faces with
w onderous wise expressions not second-hand dis
tinctions, hut remedies. He cares not how scien
tific his physician may be, he wants remedies. It
is for these which he pays his money to him, and
w hich he hopes to get from him. It is of precious
ii.tle moment to the patient w hetber it is an ortho
dox remedy with the profession, ora “patent,” so
■ long as it cures him. To be cured is the great end
' and object of his employing a physician—to have
| prescribed for him such remedies as will restore
health, is all that he wants, and he caies not n
straw for “the order,” or their professional ex

as they do him no good.

“Many Germans from Pennsylvania are among

Sinking of a llailrond.—A portion of the track
of the Racine and Mississippi Railroad which* was
built across a bottomless slough, half a mile in
width, has sunk, and disappeared from sight.
The embankment was constructed by throwing in
trees and large brushwood, and piling the earth
upon them. The slough was of such a nature
that, even with this superficial mode of construc
tion, two years were consumed in throwing the
embankment across it. The settling of the earth,
during the, progress of the work, caused the plough
to rise, a distance of fifty f.-et ou each side, from
ten to twenty feet above its former level. The
ri pairs will no doubt be attended with great ex
pense.
William Penn’s Belt of Wampum.—An interest
ing ceremony took place at the Hall of the Penn
sylvania Historical Society, iu Philadelphia on the
13th nit., on the occasion of the presentation
to the Society of the belt of wampum given to
Wil limn Penn by the Sachems of the Lenni
Lennpes Indians, at the time of the great treaty
in 16“2. Th< belt was presented by Mr. Grnuvill
John Penn, the great-grandson of the foundei of
the State, to whom it had been transmitted
through four generations. Says the Pennsylva
nian:
“The wampum boit is certainly a great curiosity.
It is about three foet long and six inches wide.
It is composed of herds made of small pieces of
muscle shell, ground into siiape and pierced, and
then strung upon thongs of deer skin. The
strings ear then fastened together, until they are
of sufficient width to form a belt. This great treaty
belt was of unusual breadth, m token of the impor
tance of tbe compact it was intended to seal. The
beads are generally white, and among them black
beads are wrought into devices, emblematic of the
treaty. In the centre of the belt two figures are
rudely formed with beads. One of these figures
weais a hat, and it was, without doubt, intended to
represent Onas, ns the Indians called William
Penn. The other figure is obviously intended to
represent au aborigine. The figures are in the
act of shaking hands. There are also three bands,
formed ofblack beads, which cross the belt diag
onally. The curious old relic, is carefully pre
served in a glass case, and it is in excellent con
dition."

espies a worm, and down he pounces upon lum,
and swallows him up before you can say Jack
Robinson. Now a moth flits by, and quick as
thought the Summer Red-Bird has snapped him

which has just preceded him to the living charnal
house for worms, bugs, and insects. Anon
By looking closely, you will seo the companion
! of the Summer Red-Bird in her dress of yellowish
j green. She is still more shy, if j.ossihle, than her
■ husband. At any rate, she is not so conspicuous
j as her liego lord, because she does not wear as
I much finery as he.
i By examining more closely still, or rather by
: keeping yourself concealed, so that the birds may
go to it, without fear of being seen, you will dis
cover their nest. This is generally built otf on
some low, swinging limp, but is not hung like the |
nest of the Oriole. The eggs, w - think, are gen
crally about four: YY’ilson says from three to five,
of a light blue color.
The male and female both have nearly the same
notes. They have but two notes—one a loud,
shaking trill, and tl.e other a single strain of mu
sic. 1 he formcris used more particularly as a note
of ang. r, or affright, when their nest is approach
ed, and the latter constitutes their soug. Both
birds are very affectionate, and very attentive to
their young.
Once, when a boy at school, our companion and
ourself found a nest of the Summer Red-Bird,
containing four young ones. It was built on the

This evening, soon after dinner, hearing some
crows in a skirt of woods hard by the house, we
concluded to forego our usual nap. especially as we
had taken a very short one just before dinner, and
go in juirsuit of the crows. Getting to tin- woods,
we found, from the nature of their cry, that they
w ere in jiursuit of a hawk, and despaired of call
ing them otf. However, concluding there was no
harm in making an effort, w o hid ourself under a
haw-thorn, aud made the noise described in ottr
last number. The crows, having gotten some dis
tance off, seemed to have lost trail of their game,
and had started back to see about what they con
sidered an owl, uttering their war-cry as they
came. But as they were nearing us, one of tlicir
number that had loitered behind, got sight of the
hawk again, gave the signal of distress, and hack
his cnmjianions went with all speed to re join him.
YVe thought onr opportunity was lost, but conclu
ded to give one more w hoop. Doing so, a Log-
C'oek (Finis Pilcntus) (tune and lit on a pine w ith-
in ten feet of us, aud within six feet of the ground,
and then commenced crawling up the tree, poking
his long hill and scarlet crest mound the trunk, to
see exactly what that old owl was after. YVe were
tempted to shoot him: hut as we had only two
charges of pow der and shot, those already in the
barrels, having left our pouch and flask at home
intentionally, to keeji us from going too far, we
concluded to reserve our tire for better game.
Crossing over a fic-ld, and going to an adjoining
skirt of woods, where w as last heard the cry of the
crows, wc concealed ourself under a yiiick bush,
and commenced to whoop once more. YVe had ut
tered two or three cries, when, about one hundred
yards off, we heard the sharp click, click, click, of a
Blue-Hawk.- One more low, cautious whoop, and
he flew in sight, hut not much nearer. Another
low and cautious owl-note, and he flics to a tree
about twenty yards from us. Bang goes the gun,
and the haw k is mortally wounded. But, in his
dying agonies, his claws still gripe the bough ujion
which he had perched, his head now hanging
downwards, instead of being erect for battle, as it
was a few seconds before. A minute more, aud
he drops down lifeless as a stone.
YY’e shall not, for the present, confer any name
upon this hawk, other than the vulgar one which
heads this article. YY ? e will merely describe it;
and if, upon further examination, we find that no
ornithologist has given him a suitable cognomen,
we will confer upon him a name in nccoidaucc with
his Genus and Species YY’e have before us only
Auduhon's Synopsis,and Nuttall’s Ornithol
ogy. Arid in neither of these work do we find a
description of any lird. answering that of the bird
we are now writing about.
This hawk is common in this county, under the
name of Blue-Haw , and is well know n for his
depredations upon the poultry yard. The speci
men before us is about 154 inches from bill to tail,
and about 27 inches In alar extent: cere greenish-
yellow : bill rather stout and short: nostrils large,
aud nearly round: upjrer mandible sharp and
hooked, extending considerably over, and below
the lower one, and describing the arch of .a circle,
from the nostrils to the tip: lower mandible round
ed and thin-rdged, at the tip: head medinm-sized
for the body, and oval: neck short: tarsus rather
lengthy and slender: three toes before, and one be
hind, long, with talons long and sharp: inner toe
before, considerably larger than the outer, and
about the same size as the hind one: outer and
middle toe united with a small web, or a ligament:
plumage on the back of a slate color, nearly life:
that of the Turtle Dove (Colinnlia Carolinensis) ,
On motion, the report of the committee was
adopted. The Delegates were authorized to pro
