Mu Aftirseak Th. bib. Taakamw—Y. dm lb. 22 Alumen. l► 41s. LONDON, THURSDAY, JULY 31. Aiznovo• the passage in the Qum's Speech cm Central America dissipates the reports that Lord CLAPANDON and Mr. Dsiaaa had actually concluded a new Treaty on that much perplexed but really very simple question, we are entitled to infer from it that the negotiations are oonsiderably advanced. Bach in point of fact is, we believe, the toss. Cop►- menting the dismission with • sincere and hearty desire to arrive at the only rational conclusion that could tutor the minds of rionactientions and really responsible negotiators, Lord CLAZINDON and Mr. Dat.trs have not, it is understood, given themselves much trouble about referring any of the points in dispute either to a third power cc a board of scintilla men, but have taken iato their own hands a settle ment of the whole question. For this purpose the representative of a third state has been admitted into their negotiations and deliberations, the Minister of the Republic of Honduras, and his admission leads irresistibly to the coselusion that Ragland, instead of "scattering to the winds tbe Ciaprox-Boxvrxx Con vention, whatever the eonseqamicem." as a writer in the BdiaburgA Borine recommends, is about to per ▪ the far .o esmible policy of transferring the Bay Mande, which eh* does not went, to the State of Holmium, which they pographisally and properly bikes to. In considering all geodes' atUnited States policy the first thing is to clear the naiad al diplomatic cant, and to deal with the matters before es as things to be transacted in the plain and simple spirit of ordinary business between man and man. What, then, was the object of the CLAYTON-BMW= Coavestion P It was to advance and to promote the construction of an easy, a quick, and comparatively inexpensive route from the Atlantic to the Pacific through Central America, and to place its neutrality and freedom when finished under the guarantee of Ragland and the United States, and, if pomdble, of the rearidso powers generally. Without some sue treaty as this, the route will either never be sesstrested, or, if °mistrusted, will be in the sole poesseelen and ander the absolute coatrol of those who furnish the spirit aid the mosey to mike it. Now, the specu lators in seek as enterprise are, it is pertain, mach more likely to be citizens of the United States than subjects of Clasen VICTORIA. To talk, then, of oar " Nattering to the winds, whatever the woe gamine," the treaty of 1860, beano we cannot have oar own way in settling those rather points which have hitherto assisted in &lois, the peat work It was negotiated to promote, is proposing to sacrifice solid gain to viadietive silliness. Ueda: [avow, of the Edinburgh Review, we will do nothing of the sort. We will, on the contrary, oareelves adhere to the main provision@ of the soeventies, and we will keep the United States 'Wady to them as log as we possibly can. If they will not meet us more than half way in the settlement of existing disputes, that is one of the very stroopat reasons we can have for holding them baud faster than ever to those articles of the treaty that guarantee the neutrality and the treaders of the route by whomsoever and whensaiwir made. We are not going to scatter to the winds that which I. obviously of much greater value to England than to the United States. To do anything so absurd would be to play the American game, and consign this great interoceanie route to their control, perhaps to their monopoly. For, great and valuable to England as it obviously is, this I • country will enter into a oesapstidon with the United States at whatever consegences " even for the possession of that great highway between Europe and Indio, China and Australia. Keeping, th4n, the main provides@ of the treaty of 1860 always before us, and regarding them as fundamental arrangements between the two countries, the English Cabinet ought in our opinion seriously and energetically to take Into consideration how it can practically advance this great work. The notion of a great ship canal, winch pre vailed in 1850 when the treaty was coadaded, and which consequently played the predosainaat part in the treaty, may now be maid to be abandosed before engineering difficulties and the poetess§ of the most, Happily, however, with just prevision, the protectioa of the two powers (and of all other powers which give in their adherence) is, by the eighth article, squally applicable to a railway as to a canal, and a railway is now the favourite suggestion. The lies proposed is through the State of Hon duras from Puerto Cabello to the Bay of Fonseca. No doubt, the length of such a railway would be math greater than the ship canal propped through Nicaragua ; but if the cost of con struction can be kept within rssaoaable limits, a little additional length in so rapid and certain a miens of communication se a railway is not very material. It is oleo certain that the State o f Heade , roe is not one of the most settled or civilised of the Central American republics ; but there is some ad ; • vantage to Ragland in transferring the interocranic P route from Nicaragua, when United States in fluence prevails and is likely to prevail, to Hal dane, with which" there is no reason why England should not be on god terms; especially as the draught of articles which the »presentative' of Honduras in Europe have prepared for the con sideration of the English and other governments, and pot into circulation, are in spirit all that sold be desired, though occasionally their terms hardly carry out their spirit to its full extent. With one railway, from Aspinwall to Panama, already made ; with • another line, as proposed, from Puerto Caballos to the Bay of Fonseca; and with a third route of the ordinary description across the Mexican Isthmus of Tehuantepec, the commerce of the world would, we may hops, receive such an impetus in this dine. ties that at no distant date we might have a great ship canal connecting the two oceans. Bat a glues at the map will melees the most ordinary observer that to secure the United Suites support to such a railway through Honduras, England most be prepared to divest herself of the sovereignty of Rothe, Utile, and Senecas. It may be that Belize did woe belong to the vice-royalty of Yucatan, and not to that Spanish province in which it was locally situated, the via-royalty of Onstenials; and it is just possible that the Bay Islands were dependencies of Belize; though in our judgment the reverse of either pada= wee the ease. Bat if we are to have a railway serous the State of Honduras, this is vary clear, that neither the United States nor Honduras can rest satisfied with .tree' British military politicos both to the right and the left of its Allende terminus, Puerto Cabello. Yet such would be eke peddle of things if we persist in oar present pretensions; there we should be on the coast of Belize on the right, and in Raritan ea the left, overlooking and commanding Puerto Cabanas. The projection, thee, el this railway through the State of Honduras makes it still more imperative that Gnat Britain shoild retire on proper terms from the ocespation of the Bay Island., and we ere glad to find our leading contemporaries at last prepared, or preparing, to sanction a retire ment which we for long stood alone in the Press in recommending to her M.rirrit's Government, and which we have every reason to hope Lord CLARINDON will 'dyne his colleagues to urge on the Quzzit's adoption. _ _ . The zeal question ought not to be one of antiquarian research, whether Belize did or did not belong to the vice-royalty of Yucatan, and whether Bay Islands were or were not dependencies of Belize. The world and its affairs are past such inquiries. The inquiry which all mankind is coocerned in is, how to get a neutral and a free route made saws Central America. The best contribution England can at present make towards its solution is to hand the Bay Islands, on terms compatible with its honour,and the protection, safety, and good government of those who have on British instigation settled there, over to the State of Honduras; Honduras on its part giving to England guarantees in respect of their population, and in respect to the neutrality and freedom of the railway, to promote which England makes so substantial a con tribetion. That roots woe accomplished and con struoted, and Oreytown established as a free port and independent republic, under the protection of the maritime powers, England will have done more to promote and extend the commerce and civilisation of the world than she could by per • tinacionsly defending a defective title at Ruston, or obstinately adhering to en obsolete protectorate over Mosqaitia. This, we have reason to believe, is the spirit io which Lord CLAZZIIDON has met Mr. DALLAS, and if that spirit be fatly and freely responded to by the United States negotiator, we may reasonably antici pate that the disputes between England and America will shortly be settled on a foundation in the stability of which all the world will be interested; that the concluding act of President Plumes Government will go far towards saving it from final reprobation; while England will have given the world a noble example of moderation, and United States orators be deprived for • lesson of the luxury of declaiming against our grasping ambition.

(PION OM OWN 00111OPONDINT.) PARIS, WADxsuay lloanso. At length there is intelligence of considerable important* from Spain. The kwarrootion . , so far from being nearly put down, as the Madrid journals have for several days been pretending, is evidently spreading and assuming formidable proportions. The Madrid Gazette of the 26th admits that "then an still several towns in the province of Granada in a state of insurrection," but it professes to feel no uneasiness at the fact, which it attributes solely to the circumstance of the troops being with out e leader, General Blanco having been "most unexpectedly" taken prisoner by the insurgents at Jaen. Private letters, however, put the elf+ in a very different light. It appears that at Granada the National Guard, having obtained permission from the Captain-General to ensemble, immediately .seamed a hostile attitude. The troops sent against them "showed soma& hide. elision "—that is the expression used by a party favourable to O'Donnell—that the Captain-General felt it momeary to "consent to an armistice of six I days." In other words, he was constrained to allow the insurrection to organise itself. The National Guards put thensseltes in communication with various neighbouring localities, when risings I took place, and General Blanco, who had been sent by Government to supersede the Captain-Geoeral on account of the "weakness" shown by the latter, was taken prisoner by the brothers Merino while attempting to reach his post. At Malaga the troops joined the National Guards, and headed by the civil governor made theirpromess cionsenfo against the coup Vest. It is, however, reported that all the officers above the rank of chef ds I:Mail:on withdrew from their men. The latest news represents Almeria and hen as still maintain ing a hostile attitude. Letters from Barcelona, of the 26th, received at Marseilles, state that General Zapatero held the town with a force of about twelve thousand men, and that the streets had " nearly" resumed their ordinary appearance. The "greater part* of the factory operatives bad returned to their work. Many, however, had " followed the insurgents," w►o have left the town, and, joined by the peasantry, scour the country, having for their head-quartsre the mountains in the neighbourhood of Barcelona. This is exactly what was feared. At the date of the 26th it was stated in Barcelona that Saragossa, having received from various quarters detachments of regular troops which had "pronounced" against the government, formed a stronghold of resistance. It was added that the peasants of Lower Arregoo were still marching in large numbers to join the insurrection at Sara goes., just as those of Catalonia rallied around Berms lons. Them moouste go to corroborate the statement as to the formidable numbers of General Falcon's forces made by the Moniker a few days ago—a statement which it has n retracted, although it lits published less authentic intelligence not easily rscomeileable with it. It is quite clear by this time that the stories of General Falcon having fled, of General Dulce having opened fire on Steepest seve ral days ago, and of his being in a condition to out off the supply of provisions to the iostirgeat garrison, ' were all inventions of O'Donnell's party. The Semaphore of Marseilles says " The Spanish packet El Vifredo, which left Bares lona oa the morning of the 261 b, has arrived. The fol lowing is a mammary of the principal news : " Barcelona has returned to its normal condition most of the factories have resumed work. Sixties thousand troops are ennosntrated is the tows under the command of Geosral &pater°, governor of Catalonia. If, however, the tows is calm, the sane cannot be maid of the amine& The insurgents who wars driven out ea the 21st spread them selves ever the coaatry, raised the peasan try, sad are at this moment emeareped with Asa in the atolotaine. According to briars from Barstow arrived at Barcelona at the moment of the' departure of Bd Vibe& the numbers of the rebels was continually increasing, in consequence of the defection of some regiments in Armin, and of the arrival of the peasant., who, as at Barcelona, made common cause with the insurgent& The Queen's troops sent from Madrid had not yet arrived." A letter in the P►esse says:—" Two days ego the Queen, obeying the suggestions of those by whom she is surrounded, frankly demanded from Marshal O'Donnell the return of her mother. The minister only replied by a respectful silence." The Madrid journals of the 25th announce that the government bad determined to remit all punishments incurred for offences against the laws which regulate the press, and to order the cessation of all prosecutions commenced. The Queen oelebrsted on the 24th the anniversary of Queen Christina's birthday. The royal household was dressed out on the occasion in its state uniforms and liveries. The Nacion states that M. Gonzales Bravo, who was banished by the late cabinet, is about to return to Madrid. The Marquis de Albaida, one of the leaders of the democratic party, is in prison as *wet at VsMinim M. /*Tanis° de la &closure is in a similar position at Madrid. The officer in command at Granada, writing on the 22nd, states that several officers of different ranks, who had quitted their revolted regiments in various localities, had arrived there. The second battalion of Ithe regiment of Arregon, the greater part of the ar tillery, sad a detachment of the National Guard, shut themselves up in the Coale of Gibraltar°. The re volationary junta refused to allow any provisions to enter the cudls till the troops in it threatened to bom bard the city. At Cadis there were some attempts at i disturbance, but they were all repressed. Jean and Almeria, it is said, continue their resistance. The Gazette of Madrid says, "Notwithstanding the disarming of the National Guard at Seville, there were some disorders at the barriers on the 23rd. Several of the rebels were killed, and order was re-established." We also read in the Gowns A oolumo, com posed of infantry, cavalry, and artillery, has marched from Valencia to join Brigadier Damato, who is at Villaverda, a province of Teruel, with forces sent from the district of Atvagon. ♦s goon as the junc tion of these troops is effected, they will operate upon Tinsel, to re-establish obedient)* to her Ma jesty's government and chastise the rebels." The Patti* says.—" Oar despatches from Spain contain news from Logo and Coronas. Logo was in the enjoyment of the most profound calm. The civil governor, who had attempted a pronnociamento, has taken to flight. At Coranne, General Vas sallo continued the disarmament of the militia. This news is of the 22nd." Marshal O'Donnell has decided to form two new regiments of sharpshooters of two battalions each, to be composed of picked men from other regiments. These troops will be armed with rifles recently manufactured at Tadsla. O'Donnell has also I appointed a commission to draw op a plan for the organisation of a commissariat 1 upon the French system. The Petri e ma y s with much esaiost.f, that the army occupies the mar. share attention at this moment more than any other institution of the country, and that he endeavours, above all things, to usimilate its constitution to that established in France. Taking France still tot his model, he proposes when the National Guard shall be thiog of which there is no ques tion at present—that the officers shall be all named by the government. A few days will probably de cide whether, while he thus apes so many things from the coup d'ilat in France of December, 1861, he will be able to add to the list the most important item of all—success. The Madrid correspondent of the Indegperadance Beige, in his letter of the 26th, oommentiog on the statement of the official journal that Saragossa and Teruel were the only towns in which the insurrec tion still maintained itself, mks: Supposing this to be the feat, do you know what Sara gossa and Tinsel ant In the wan of the French empire several of the Freewill marshals, at the head of picked troop, whisk bad conquered all Zurope, tried without avail to master the former ei y. That the goveromeat, after all, has very serious fears about the result, is proved by its sending thither to• day, from this ginner only, a gasatity of siege or finery, a haodnd waggons, eight hundred mules, several (timpani's of Sepptre, altogether smolt an abundanee of warlike mantis!, that, as the Evans observes this 'stan nic, no such formidable preparations are rementbend to have ever before been made. It appease that General Karguael, the Captain•Ganstal of N , when on his way to Saragossa, accompanied by two battalions of the line and a strong patty of cavalry, was stopped at Cinco Villas, near Huns, by a body of the insurgents. After a straggle of some hour., the royalist trues were forced to boat a retreat, and in the utmost but..

The number of their raid milsti., inclu ding the battalions of •.luntsers sod the men who have cones is from the mountains of Arragoe, ia estimated at 30,000. The ume correspondent remarks upon the despatch of the Captain• General of Catalonia, which was given in the B.rpress of yesterday, and which Gene ral Zapatero (whose account of the affair seems not very consistent with the statement previou.ly pub. lisped by the:Madrid Garotte) concludes by saying that after hie attack of the 21st, the insurgents with. drew to Gracia and somewhat farther: I will cot dwell on the coatradietioa which there is between theme statemeate; It will give you • measure of the credit which the official recounts demons; but it is well you should know that an icserrectioc le more formida ble at Oracle, out of rasp of the artillery of the famous Fort Munjuteb, than it could hare been Is Barcelona itself, whore the town is tonveauded by that °Bala A little beyond Oracle, and upon a lofty bill, there is a foxtrots, which was analootly a =event of soaks, and where the lass:Tents may be able to held in check • very reeptetable form. The object of the lesurgents memo to be to maintain their post tica around or spas the summits of the snouotains is the seighbourbool of Barcelona. Their intuition is to make ammo. muse with &moms and Teruel. With regard to the position of the government, the writer whom we have just quoted says that (Mon mall has great difficulties to contend with, and that if he should overcome them, it hi not he, but the Carlista and polite* who will profit by the coup They are actively at work, and the brother of the Count do Montemolia, Don Juan de Bathos, has left London already ; but in the Basque provinces, where the Cachet faction is strongest, there is no excitement as yet. The return of Clasen Christina to Spain, notwithstanding that O'Donnell has refused his consent to it, is spoken of as very probable ; it would coca ' aloft an obstinate contest. The correspondent of the I Isedipeedasee asserts that the riots in the provinces semi time ago, which were made the pretext for the change of ministry, as well as the other disorders which had troubled Spain since 1854, were instigated by the priests, and particularly by the Car dinal Archbishop of Toledo, who lately expended for that purpose a large sum of money entrusted to him as Primate, foe the payment of the inferior clergy. There are some people who even accuse the minister O'Donnell of complicity in these intrigues. Anothercorrespondentof thesamejournalstates that the Madrid newspapers have been ordered by the government to abstain from publishing " false news," that is, news unfavourable to the royal cause. However, proclamations from the Junta of Saragossa, inviting the soldiers to desert, with promises of a remission of their term of service, are profusely circulated at Madrid. The re-assembling of the Cortee at Baragoesa MOMS to be doubtful, since many members of the liberal party remain still at Madrid. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (mom OVI PARIS.
