January 19,1856 NEW YORK , JANUARY 12, 1856 The year 1856 will inaugurate a new era in our national policy. In its course the people will learn whether America is or is not to throw off the last remnant of European tutelage and take a thorough independent position as the mistress of her own interfamily treaties and relations as the sole guardian of her own grand highways of trade and the watchtowers of her own coasts and harbors. But, is she not all this at present? We'll be asked by those who are equally innocent of the bearing of our foreign relations and coast geography.
No, certainly; the United States, with all our boasts of the power, progress, and prosperity of the confederation, are perfectly quiescent while a strong maritime power seizes and strengthens by cannon, colonies, protectorates, and treaties, the portals of our most precious lines of commerce and communication. This question, of who is to have the control over the great route of American trade, has now taken a form which will compel our statesmen to bring it to solution. Mere politicians would gladly put off the day of decision a little longer, but the popular instincts clamor for an answer to this, the deepest foreign issue of 1856,"Is Europe or America to hold the gates of the American Isthmus and the highways to the pacific?"
England always true to her traditionary policy of universal supremacy aims steadily and without disguise at checking the advance of our Republic, and with collateral effort watches and labors to keep under European command all the inlets and outlets of our American seas, and the warship of all the Isthmus highways to the pacific.
A brief study of the map of the Mexican and Caribbean seas will illustrate the breadth and boldness of the policy on our borders. Without dwelling on the fact, that on the north she bounds us from ocean to ocean, and that her naval depots and fleets sentinel us as if we were a nation of pirates, the masterly disposition of her island ports, and mainland colonies and protectorates encircles with a strong military cordon the entire sweep of the Caribbean sea, locks up the Gulf of Mexico, and way shut against us the Isthmus routes to our trade at their pleasure.
It was with no idle boast of her minister that "England could at will cut in twain the coast commerce of the different sections of the Union." Cuba bars in the Gulf of Mexico with an impassable wall, leaving but narrow inlets at Florida and Yucatan, both of which are flanked and sentinelled by British colonies-the Florida passage by the Bahamas, and that of Yucatan by Jamaica, the Belize, and the new colony of the Bay Islands, lately wrested from the State of Honduras, in daring viola-tion of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty. Cuba completes the European guards over the Mexican Gulf, and hence the intense anxiety to retain Cuba in the hands of Spain-hence the avowed determination of both governments to give it over to the blacks rather than permit it to become American. "African if not Spanish, but never American." This is official proclamation of the destiny of Cuba; and, to all intents and purposes Cuba is thus maintained as a standing threat over the freedom of our coasting trade.
Haiti, which in position and importance is second only to Cuba, is with a slight difference of constitution, as much a protectorate of the Allies as the Mosquito Kingdom is of England. The Eastern portion of the island is occupied by the Dominican Republic, and as it possesses superior harbors and fine coal supplies in the direct line of our South American trade, our government proposed to draw closer its friendly and commercial relation with this interesting neighbor. This France and England, "allies in both hemispheres," would not permit, and they adopted the extraordinary mea-sure of sending down a fleet to compel this treaty between two independent republics, and both of them in amity with the Allies, to be cancelled, even after it was signed and sealed by the plenipotentiaries of the only parties interested in it. This act settles the condition of St. Domingo as a European dependency, and completes the island cordon of the Caribbean Sea, now held without break or opening by European powers.
When the golden regions of California broke upon the knowledge of the world, and the opening of new channels across the American Isthmus began to warn Europe of vast commercial revolutions England alone had the energy and forecast to grasp the gates of the Pacific. She, with her European allies, owned or ruled all the islands that fence in the Caribbean from the Atlantic, and the Isthmus and mainland were held by feeble and divided states perfectly incapable of resisting her dictation. She exercised a kind of sovereignty over the Belize, and the Ruatans were seized and erected into the Bay of Islands colony.
They were the property of the State of Honduras which warmly protested against this wholesale plunder of her territory, and is was besides in flat contradiction of her engagements not to "colonize or fortify" any part of central America, but it secured her the com-mand of the Bay of Honduras and dominion over the "Squiers route to the Pacific" which British engineers have pronounced the best line for a railway on the Isthmus, and which British capitalists have contracted to build ,and so England declares the Ruatans are to remain a "permanent British possession." What congress will say about this double infraction of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty and the Monroe doctrine is one of the important matters to be developed in the course of 1856. San Juan del Norte, another gate to the Pacific, was taken care of with equal promptitude and with the same disregard of the rights of an American state.
There was some dispute between the states of Costa Rica and Nicaragua respecting their limits on the San Juan, and England disposed of the diffi-culty by stretching the range of the Mosquito Indians about a hundred miles beyond what they had ever thought of claiming, and included in it the coveted port of San Juan. Its name was changed to Graytown, and British subjects of all shades of color except perhaps pure white were manufactured into a city government. Nicaragua protested against this spoliation of her territory as Honduras had done in the case of the Bay of Islands, and with as little effect. This strange, irresponsible pretence of a government signalized itself by the exactions and interferences it practiced on the transit of American citizens and merchandise, and one bright day Capt. Hollins of the U.S. Navy demolished the town and government together under a rigorous reading of his instruction to demand satisfac-tion for injuries to our citizens.
This is another open question between this country and Great Britain, but the bombardment of Graytown will be easily over if the United States will lend the equivocal sanction of its silence to the occupation of San Juan and the permanent dismemberment of the State of Nicaragua. This the Senate Committee of Foreign Relations have determined to resist, and it is tolerably well understood that some of its members are preparing to meet this complication of foreign encroachments by introducing a bill suspending the neutrality law of 1818 in its application to England until that power shall satisfy the United States of its disposition to observe its treaty obligations and the gener-al duties of international community.

Enclosure I in No. 52
The Chief of the Mosquito Indians to the Earl of Rosebery.
My Lord, Bluefields, March 8, 1894.
I have the honour to transmit to your lordship, for presentation, a petition addressed to Her Most Gracious Majesty the Queen, signed by myself, Indians, and other inhabitants of the Mosquito Reservation, touching the lamentable state of the Reserve through the forcible possession and occupation by Nicaragua of the Reserve.
I have, &c.
(Signed)
Robert Henry Clarence.
Chief of the Mosquito Indians.
Enclosure II in No. 52 Petition
To her most Gracious Majesty Queen Victoria, Queen of Great Britain and Ireland, and Empress of India.
May it please your Majesty, the humble petition of the undersigned Robert Henry Clarence, Chief of the Mosquito Reservation, Indians, and other inhabitants.
Sheweth:
That on the 10 th of February past the Nicaraguan Government landed, with officers and men, about 200 Nicaraguan troops. As the detachment was numbered off they unfurled the Nicaragua flag, and three cheers were given for Nicaragua. The troops were then marched along the street under arms, with fixed bayonets this happened about 9 o'clock at night. They then marched and took quarters in an old condemned steamer called the "Mabel Conneaux". On Sunday, on account of parade, blowing of bugles, and rattling of drums, the inhabitants became much excited; the day, however, passed off, and at midnight, when deep sleep was upon the peaceable and defenseless inhabitants of Bluefields, the Nicaraguan officers and their armed men, with loaded guns, fixed bay-onets, revolvers, bowie knives, and other dangerous weapons, rushed on the several districts of the town and took charge of the several Government buildings and the arms of the police, and at day-break hoisting the Nicaraguan flag, ignoring the Municipal Government of the Mosquito Reservation, and proclaiming martial law; were if not for the timely advice that was given to the inhabitants days previous there might have been untold trouble, but the people was quiet, and was advised to suffer all hardship and insults, and to appeal to your Majesty 's Government, and to lay this complaint of our wrongs at your Majesty's feet.
That petitioners suffered during the time of martial law grievances as only those who know the tyranny of Nicaragua could tell.
That many of our women and children, for their lives and for the peace and safety of the inhabitants, had to take refuge in the bushes at night, and were insulted and kept in slavish fear by day.
That petitioners have to thank Almighty God and the timely aid afforded by the gallant Captain of your Majesty's ship "Cleopatra" who at once relieved the great danger of the situation by his prompt action, and his kind and courteous assurances of having all things settled and in order.
That petitioners at present are feeling safe under the great vigilance of your Majesty's marines who are now in charge of the town, but the inhabitants cannot but remember, with ailing heart and troubled mind, of the Spanish occupation of this town a few days past, and petitioners are assured and feel confident that if your Majesty withdraw from the situation, our lives-the lives of men/women, and children-will be as nothing in the hands of these revengeful invaders, as we have affirmed assurances that vengeance will be taken as soon as opportunity offers, and that without mercy.
That petitioners now will not burden your Majesty with lengthened details of this sad occurrence, but we leave it entirely to the loving and experienced mind of your Majesty to conjecture in what state this petition leaves us, when we tell you that we will be in the hands of a Government and people who have not the slightest interest. sympathy. or good feeling for the inhabitants of the Mosquito Reservation; and as our manners. customs. religious. laws. and languages are not in accord. there can never be a unity,* and therefore we ask humbly and respectfully that your Majesty will take our case in your consideration, and not allow a forcible incorporation, or that no pressure or undue influence be exercised with a view to obtain the consent of the people, as Nicaragua have in her employ tramps, speculators, and men of the baser sort, who are endeavoring by unfair means to bring about the incorporation. We most respectfully beg to lay before your Majesty, and to submit to your Majesty, to take back under your protection the Mosquito nation and people, so that we may become a people of your Majesty's Empire, who shall ever be devoted and obedient to your Majesty and your Majesty's Government.
That petitioners beg to your attention to the occupation of the city of Rama and all the other stations along the coast within the Miskito Reservation. That Nicaragua and the Nicaraguan Government are now levying import and export duties granting concessions of the natural products, and using and appropriating to her own use the revenue of the Mosquito reservation thus collected.
That your petitioners refrain from enumerating evidence concerning the pretext of the Nicaraguan Commissioner to the Reserve, charging the Reserve with acts of rebellion, as your Majesty's Consul will adduce sufficient to refute his false statements. To this our mode and manner of life will be evidence in itself, which can he attested by all the world.
And your petitioners as in duty bound will ever pray.
Bluefields, March 8, 1894.
