which provided that citizens, vessels, and merchandise of
the United States should be exempt from duty in the ports
of Nicaragua; and that citizens of the United States should
have a right of way through the republic. The government of
the United States agreed to protect the company in the full
enjoyment of its rights from the inception to the termination
of its grant. The rights, privileges, and immunities granted
to the government and citizens of the United States shall not
accrue to any other government, unless it first enter into
the same treaty stipulations with Nicaragua as the United
States has done. This treaty was ratified by the Nicaraguan
legislative chambers on the 23d of September following, but
was not acted upon by the United States senate, to which it
was sent by President Taylor. This treaty was opposed by the
British minister at Washington, who energetically exerted
himself to secure its defeat.
The Clayton-Bulwer treaty between the United States and
England guaranteed the neutrality of the canal, and both
governments agreed to protect any company undertaking the
work. The object of our government in this convention was to
put an end to the Mosquito protectorate.
In August 1850 the company sent a party of engineers from
New York to Nicaragua to survey a route from Lake Nicaragua
to the Pacific, near the line taken by Galisteo and Baily.
Soon afterwards the steamer _Director_ was sent from New York
to Lake Nicaragua, and smaller boats were sent to the San
Juan River. A new road was opened to the Pacific from Virgin
Bay on the lake to San Juan del Sur. A line of steamers was
established from New York to Greytown, and from San Juan del
Sur to San Francisco.
The new contract made with United States citizens, and
ratified and enforced by treaty with our own government, was
not consistent with the wishes or policy of Great Britain,
but the generosity of our government in throwing open the
proposed canal to all nations disarmed hostile criticism, and
deprived Europe of any pretext for opposition or protest.
It quickened England into new energy, in the assertion of
her claims under the Mosquito protectorate. On the 15th of
August, 1850, the British consular representative in Central
America addressed a note to the Nicaraguan government, in
which he stated the boundary claimed by his government as
follows: 'The undersigned, her Britannic Majesty's chargé
d'affaires in Central America, with this view, has the
honor to declare to the minister of foreign relations of the
supreme government of Nicaragua, that the general boundary
line of the Mosquito territory begins at the northern
extremity of the boundary line between the district of
Tegucigalpa in Honduras, and the jurisdiction of New Segovia;
and after following the northern frontiers of New Segovia
it runs along the south-eastern limits of the district of
Matagalpa and Chontales, and thence in an easterly course,
until it reaches the Machuca Rapids, to the river San Juan.'
If this boundary line had been allowed, as claimed, it would
have placed the only possible route for the proposed canal
in the occupation and control of Great Britain. _Daniel
