No. 2625. JOSE DEBRIN '1'0 B. SQUIRE COTRELL [Translation from the Spanish J ::\Janagua 4th. May 1858. B. SQUIRE COTRELL U. S. Comm. Agt. San Juan del Norte MY DEAR Sm. General Lamar requests me to inform you that all your letters and dispatches have been duly received by him. He has been quite satisfied with all of them and he desires that you continue keeping himself, as well as the GovE)rnment at Washington, posted up of all the important events at San Juan If he has not written to you more frequently it is not, he says, be- cause he is not sensible of your kind letters or does not appreciate your zeal in carefully transmitting to him all valuable information, but only for want of time; and besides this, because we scarcely know here when there is any good opportunity to write to San Juan. He intends to go to Costa-Rica within a few weeks-probably not before he has received the mail from Washington which shall be due at Managua at the end of this month. There is nothing new of importance •in this place. This Govern- ment has not received by this mail dispatches from l\fr. Irisarri. They expect that said gentleman will tell them that he has obtained of Presi- dent Buchanan some modifications in the Cas,s-lrisarri iTreaty. I think this very doubtful; and then I am almost certain that the Treaty will be finally rejected. General Lamar begs you to present his respects to Mrs Cotrell and sends you his best and most friendly wishes. I hope, my dear Sir, that you will not forget me, and will let me know of you from time to time_, even in the absence of General Lamar in Costa Rica, where I will not probably accompanay him. I will re- main at Managua ready to obey your commands. I am sincerely Your most obedient J. DEBRIN.
