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.

A some five or six hunsred of them te set. regiment of Egyptian troops are at pretle down and cultivate a few aeres of . jland. and here, (it being the capital of . . the kingdom) the royal residence is siluated. ‘The palace is a square wooden . building of some size, surrounded by an. iron railing. which is now occupied by a} missionary, who entices, or used to entice, the natives to church, by giving to! each of the congre,r ition a glass of rum . a8 soon as service was over. Not long! since, however, thinking that his hear. ers must have been sufficiently broken . in, he made his discourse rather lon-. ger than ordinary, when, to his herror, . in the middle of one of his most eloquent periods, a respectable old gentleman ‘arose, and with a voice expressive of the greatest disgust, exclaimed—*Oh! no good—no good! all talkey, talkey—no drinky. drinky ;” whereupon he walked ‘out, fullowel by the whole congregation! The reverend gentleman, however, I un' derstand, makes udmirable reports of the great progress of religion among the Mosquitians, The King isa young man, of, as 1 am told, rather prepossessing appearance, and having been edueated in Kngland, . speaks our language fluently. He spends most of his time in Jamaica, or in the neighboring English, ports, and of course . docs not pretend to interfere in the government of the kingdom, which was ‘only established for the purpose of lay~ ‘ing a claim to the port of San Juan.— The British Consul at that port is his Regent, and does all the business; and an Awerican named Martin, is his Attorney General, and makes all his laws; his dutiful subjects, both Mosquitos and mon. keys, eat their plantains, and bother their heads about nothing less than government. The only value which the Mosquito territory possesses at present, is its claim to the port of San Juan; but it will one day be « rich country. In addition to its splendid forests of precious wood, (which on the Honduras border are already cut to a considerable extent,) it contains mines of many kinds of metals, jand a soil which would grow any of the roductions of the tropics, in the greatest abundance.
