DE8IGNS ON CENTRAL AMERICA.

If the reader will look to his map, he will

find a region between North and South America,

stretching from the isthmus of Tehuantepec

to the isthmus of Panama, called Central

Honduras, Nicaragua, San Salvador, and

Costa ltica?and two colonics, one called 11alize,

dependent upon Great iiritain, and the

other Mosqnitia, claimed by an Indian King,

whose pretensions have been gravely recognised

by the British Government, but ridiculed by

long since have been recognised as belonging

to the adjacent States, had it not been for foreign

interference. Geographically and politically,

it belongs to their system, and it should

have been dealt with accordingly.
