THE JlIGHT OF SEAROlI.
We,learn bya. prívate letter from Greytown, that during the stay of the American Minister, Col. J. H.Wheeler, in .that place, hereceived an official visit from Capto Tarlton, Commander of the Engli8~' ~a~al force in that harbor. Our cor·'reapondentcould not deta.ll the conversation that occurred' as it was diplonlatic, and therefore pri.. Tate' b;t pubÍic conjecture said that the fiagrant brea~h of"nationallaw, ~ommitted by the English in tho seizure and search of the American st~am ship Orizaba, Capt. Tinklepaugh, in that port, w~ the subject of the controversy. Col. Wheeler lS a very fit representative of Uncle Saln, ~d. we can imagine th8¡t be represented the indigni~y as a _Tery gross outrage on the rjghts oC his Government; for the act or tbe British commander was but tbe lIlustration of. that principIe which caused the war of 1812 betwe~n the JJnited State~ and Engl~nd. The right of search does not embráce any other repugnant fea~ures than the .d~te~tion of a,' llatiotial ship, searchlng her for obJectlOnable material, overhauling ber register, alld in.terfering witb ber passengerB-all of which acts were committed by Capto Tarlton in the case of the Orizaba. And it was understood at the time that a11 American vessels 'coming into that port would be 8ubj~ct to the aame indignity. 'V~ are not, as a matter ~f course, ,informed how the interview t~r, minated, as our oorrespondent could not penetrate the secrecy of the diplomatic interview; but· ~e · can annou~ce that the result was highly favorable to Nicaragu~ tor when the Orizaba lately came into that por~, ahe was not roolested in the least. We, therefore, conclude that the doctrine of the u Rigbt of Search" has been yielded; and ves.3eli coming into the barbora oC- this Republic will be, Jet pass without molestation. . This is a QOnsuma: tion of which the Mínister.~ a nd sbou1d feel a jus.t 'prlde, and for w~iclí tbis people should be
SECRETARY OF ,LEG.A.TION TO THE UNITED STATES.-W e see by the newspapers of the last steamer tbat Dr. J. H. Sigur is represented as being Secretary to the Legation from this Republic. It is proper to state, ando we state it by authority, that no a.ppointment has been made as yet oC any S~ctetary oí Legation to the mission of Padre ViJiL The irnpostors who paIm themselveg off . duly grateful. ----upon the people of tbe United States as agents TBE RIFLE BATTALION.-This favorite body of sóldiers arrived in town on ,.the steamer Virgin of this Government are taking M:r.

Sanders, deSERENADE.-The balld was~out !a.st night sere· voÍved tbe command on Lieut-Col. Frank Anderson. nading the General in his private quarters, at Maj.' Cal. O'N e~ has resigned his 'po~ition on ~he 'Vines & CO.'s Express Office. 'The building was s taff of Gen.

.A telegraphic aespatch to the NQW York lIer· ald, under date of Washington City, May 8, e()n· tains the following paragraph : The Nicaragua aft'air still engrosses publicattention,and forms the subject oí deliberation in the State Departrnent. Tlle Cabinet met to-day, but came to no decision with reference' to this important subject. A PQwerful infiuence has been brought to bear upon the administration, by certain parties, to defeat the recognition of Walker's Government. Señor M~coleta has been very busy. They. are also circulating a story to.day that the llew Minister, Padre Vijil, is a roan of no standing in Nicaragua. The poeition oí Señor lIarcoleta is an anomaly in diplonlacy. Rie intimacy with Sec~etary Marcy confounds all plausible conjectures. 'Vas there ever such a glaring impostura attempted on a greatgovernment; and was there ever a great government SO capable of being deceived! The foreign administration of the Unitcd States Government is a riddle, and its only recognized quality is ah utterinnocence or' everything like shrewdness or suspicion. The wonder now is that W ashing~ ton City does not swarm with Ministers. 'Shrewd men, out of employment here, are calculating ~he chances of a passage to New York, where they hope to be received as tbe representative or some unknownor defunct State. Marcy has recognized Marcoleta without requiringany exhibition of his instructions; and why sbould h~ not ac' knowledge them hailing from the States of Timbuc· too and Juan Fernandez. To ourcertain knowledge, this impostor" who has engrafted himself on the diplomatic eiréle of tbe United Sta-tes as the Minister of Nicaragua, has never received a word of instructions 01' a dime or pay from an,. parties inside or outside oí tbis Republic; and yet, under conntenance of Secretary Marcy, be is allowed to hold his head up among. the foreign representativas at Washington city, as a bone fid:J Minister from tbis State. It is high tim~, ,in our opinion, that' the corps oí able diplomatists who reprosent the realpowers of Europe and 'America should take it into tbeir own bands to resent this insultupon their body, if the Government of tbe United St~tes will not protect them in its own capital. If tbeyallow spurious claimants to rank with them, ho\Vsoon wil! it be' before all their seats may be contested by sorne upstart, claiming authority ul1der a piQce' of parchment renaerea'oy t5owe' U~Ü _ ... ~4.hnl Dn.'J;Tfi""".......-1.0,",-+ ') It is their. right to enqliire' into the tenure of Marcoleta'g official receptio~; and if he is an impostor, they owe it to tbemselves to excIude hhn from the deliberations of the diplomatic circle. A word or this man Marcoleta. 'Ve cannot allude to him in any capacity except as a startling specimen of 'polítical a~surance. History contains no recora. of so grosa and glaring an irop osition as he is at p;esent practicing; aad, we may add, there never wasbefore an ,' occasion when lt could have succeeded. To counterfeit a noteof band-to imitate a bird-to deceive by legerdemain-to defraud a friend-to cbeat an enemy-are aH practicable and or frequent occurrence ; but to practice on a nation anu tbe world the ensigns and authority of' a Foreign Minister was left for the subject of this paragraph~ And to do this, too, on that Government claiming tbe highest civilization kn own to the age-by palming himself off a¡ the Minister 01 a Government of which tbe impostor is more ignorant than of any other nation-is a fact in dipfomacy which may lcad to serious deception hereafter. José Marcoleta is a native of Europe, and carne to Nicaragua as a mendicant. Falling under the notice and pity of the lamented Castillon, he was sent to ~-:le United States as the agcnt of that Genel'ul, who then headed a party in thIs Republic. He'~haf never resided in Nicaragua, and bis visits hither have been short and far between; Dor has he ever known augbt of the country, nor b~en acquainted witb its statesm'en, except from rumor.. An object of charity, possessing splne abilitYt he received bis appointment; but we are autborizeu by the best oí authority in asserting that he never for a mo· ment possessed the confidence, oC his benefactor. Bis cbronic treachery of character damned him in the estimation of the DelDocrats; alld witb tbe Legitimists, under Gen. ·Chamorro, he was held in stillless repute. Don Fruto Chamorro, a truly great man, but one educated in and actuated by false' principIes of government, entertained a profound contempt for Marcoleta;. and before his death, gaye orders that he should be dismissed from the employ of the State. He has long sinee
! Nicaraguan Minister of him. He is a pet abou~ the State Department, ander the present adminis# tration; but there \Vas an occasion when Daniel Webster ordered him from that vicinity, ttnder strong suspicions against bis moral bonesty. It was hinted in diplomatie circles that Mr. Marco· leta had opened himselfto a prosecution for petty larceny. Tbus h.e contrives to live-an a~oma"
lous impostor, the very sources or bis sustenanco a matter of doubt and suspicion. And yct such is the man who slanders the pious and learned ti l· h h Padre Vijil!

The late occúpation by the O~S\1t Ricans of the Department oC Rivas prev~'Lted the opening oí the polls in tbat district until quite 'recently; and the presence of an organized banditti in Chontales has heretofore,' preventedany election in that Department. However, the bale loting has been gone through with i~ Rivas, and a detachment of troops will probably produce sucb quiet in Chontales that in eight or ten days the electioll may take place there. The result, so far as is known, is favGrable to Oen. Don Mariano Salizar, of Leon-a republican and v~ry well qualified gentleman. Next i~ the contest is Gen. Don :Ma~imo Jerez; also of Leon, and at present a member of President Rivas's cabinet.

fSpe~ial Correspondence of El· Nicaraguense.] HEADQUARTEltS, Virgin, May 26, 1856. El Nicaraguense-y esterday the Rift.e Bat· talion, Lie ut. Col. Anderson commanding, came over rrom San ¡u~ en route, as is.reported., for Leoq; but I V10Uld not be at all surprised ü it should take anotber direction and proceed towards Del Norte. :M:ilitary movements, like the intentions of governments and tbe results ef \(Jabinet consultatipns, are generally kept as far ,in the dark as is consistent \0 carry them out; and our army just at this time 'needs as much circumspectioll and secrecy in its motions as ever. The ·enemy, it ls true, have left our soil, abandoned tbe country, and r~turned home into Costa Aica ; but the fact is oC itseIr no solution of the great question llung out to the Central American States, by the deglaration of war by Costa Rica and the announcement by tbat Government of ita determination to exterminate Gen. WaIker and the -...~meriean element in· Nicaragua. This haughty position, .so pompously &Ssumed and so inhum~nly inaugura.ted by her troops, must be a8:r.publicly abandoned and as humbly atoned for, or :N.lCara~ua can never enter iuto a. peacef!!l communlon wlth her without lewering herself in her own csteem and losing the respect oC kindred States and na· tions Ana this ,~ the grey-eyed man of destiny" -so· long, foretold and so anxiously looked for bv thQ oppressed but simple-bearted NicaragÚenses-fully '1!lnderstands and will act accor~~ng ly.

IC reason patriotism, love oC country and com· mon phi1~nthropy wiU not di~pen~e "the whi~Q mist of coming glory" in tnelr mlnds, then wIll .the sturdy blo\Vs and heavy tread oC. many a mailed warrior cleave it down and traolp lt out oC our soil forever. , The news Crom tbe States 'by the last ~teamer has caused a great dea1 of ex~itemeI!t am~ng the troops, and they a11 seem inspIred wlth ne,! .hopes .and new energíes. The probable recognltton of thifi Government by the Wasbington Cabinet puta a new face 'upon. all our aifaírs, and place~ ~he Republic oC Nicaragua in ber proper posltlon amonO' the powers oC the earth. Besides .this, the synlpathies oí the American people f~r the 'cause in which we are engaged, so determlnedly .expressed in public assemblies, gives a chierful hopa that our State will ye' be recognized by tlle great Republic oC tbe North. }[ay 2Rth.-The Virgin arriveJ this morning from San Carlos, with much freight and sorne troops on board, and the order is for the Rifle Battalion to go on board for Granada.
