been opened for the reception of boarders ang
of importance to the world, we know
but little. The following sketch,
hiwht sea) 15-43 , .
between Jackson and Pacific streets, . Which throws some ligh’ on the sub
San Francisco ject, we take from the correspondent
ofthe 5. F. Picayune. It is worthy
resting :
. “Greytown, San Juan de Nicaragua, .
jor San Juan del Norte, (the last is a!
‘sort of compromise uame,) I found to .
ibe much more of a town than I had .
‘expected. It is situated on a point of .
‘land which divides the harbor from a .
deep lagoon, which is connected with .
. the river some two miles above its en(trance intothe bay. The ground on .
'which the town is built has evidently .
been thrown up by the action of the .
sea, and is of course but little eleva-.
ted above the surface of the water. .
It never overflows, however, as the ac.
tion of the tides is almost imperceptable. As might be judged from its origin, the soil is nearly all sand; but
such is the productiveness of this coun.
try that the surface is covered with a’
fine coat of grass throughout the year, .
while behind the town a considerable
growth of timber is visible, rendered .
nearly impassible, as is so frequently
the case in the tropics, by the dense
jundergrowth, and the numerous vines, .
The old town which is composed al.
together of native huts, built ot bam.
boos and thatched with palm, is regu.
larly laid out, but as might be expec: .
.
The new town, however, is thorough.
y American, and boasts many very .
It adjoins the old . jconsiderable size.
. village, and . presents quite a bustling
appearance. It has six or saven ho-.
jtels, and a population of some six hun.
\dred—all men, of course. Property .
jis held at pretty high prices, as much .
as ten thousand dollars being asked
for fifty vara lots; but, of course,merely on speculation. ‘Two thousand was .
paid a day or two ago for one which I .
did not consider very valuable.
The harbor, though small, is very
snug, being completely land-locked.—
Towards the head of it the water is, in
places, shallow, but throughout the .
greater part of it there is abundant .
water, with good ancherage. ‘There .
are at present seventeen or eighteen .
sailing vessels in port, together with .
no less than four men-of-war, not to .
mention the Mosquito,which is a small .
schooner, navigated by Englishmen. .
The town holds a charter from the .
Mosquito government, under which a .
set of municipal officers have been
elected, a police established, and the .
poor declared tree. Good order prevails, and one would think himself’ in
an American town, were it not for the .
hybrid flag (the Cross of St. George, .
with blue and white stripes,) which
fleats before the station house. ‘The
town has, however, been heretofore
completely English. Zhe English
Consul is President of the Council; a
majority of the members hail from
Great Britain, and the three Americans who hold official positions, are
completely in the same interest. This
being the case, Americans have stood
no chance here, and everything which
could be done to throw impediments .
in the way of the Canal Company, and
the transit passengers, has been done.
The firing into the Prometheus, however, brought down the Saranac steamer, with Commodore Parker on
board, and the Albany sloop-of-war, .
and sinee their arrival things have!
changed wonderfully. Americans who .
used to boast of having “Inglish
hearts” —(it was most common, I as.
sure you,) have begun to find them
rather uncomfortable articles to carry
arround, and are now trying hard to .
getrid of them, while the stars and
. stripes are floating from almost every .
heuse-top. In fact, it is with ditliculs
ty the people are restrained from setting up an independent government, a .
thing they will assuredly do, unless
something extraordinary happens.
The advent of the Saranac !)rought
down the British frigate Calypso, .
the Albany was followed by the Arroigant, a forty-feur gun ship. ‘Two other British frigates are expected ; and
it is rumored that two American ones .
are on the way; so you will se San .
‘. Juan is not such an unimportant place
The population is, as might be expected, a very mixed one. There are .
some two hundred natives, some fifty
or sixty Mosquitos, about one huni : press . to ride.
