II ER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.; SEASON 1856. • - It is respectfully announced that the OPERA SEASON COMMENOE on SATURDAY, the 10th of May. On resuming the performances which have been suspended during the last three years, the Director of 'her *Maj'esty's Theptre is anxious to assure the patrons of the Opera and the piblic, that no exertion shall be wanting to secure for this establishment that.high'position it so long'maintained ; ' and In trusts that the renewal of the enterprise under more Prosperous auspices will be accompanied with that favour - and Rapport which= frequenter•of the Opera needs to be . reminded were for so many years accorded to a brilliant and sUcees - sfut mnnagement. • • The secession, in 1847 ,. of many -of those . performers who had long - been attached to the Opera House was the:cora -1 - raendement of a long and arduous struggle to maintain the fortunes of the old house ; and it was not till the wealth of f ettr•successive competitors bad been fruitlessly lavished upon the rival theatre, that Mr. Lumley was reluctantly compelled to retire from the contest. • - Broin that time to the Present Mr. Lumley's efforts have • need Unremitting to re-open her Majesty's Theatre upon a Permanent 'basis, and to restore the Opera to its ancient • home. " He has received liberal encouragement from every side, and, effectually aided by noble and generous support from a quarter where the refinements of art a nd taste never tail to find a pat r o n , be is now enabled gratefully:to announce • the. ilumediate resumption of performances. . At the Present moment there are vocalists, of an excellence Beldoni surpassed, who have. never been heard by . an English public. • Of thee.; the elite have been secured for the present season. • .Her Majesty's Theatre is marked out by its size, its sittut ... Iltorestingea, and its convenience of access, no less than by old and associations, as the appropriate seat of the Opera. In the acoustic properties, so essential to the effective pro duation of the lyrical drama, it is acknowledged. to stirpaSs Eery other stage iu Europe. In consequence of some happy accident of construction a result has been attained that science failed to' explain, and that no architect could engage to I.6 l s roditei, by which the faintest tones and the most delicate vocalisation penetrate with unimpaired clearness to the re motest recesses of the vast edifice; • • The arra - ngenients completed and in progress, both in Ppera and Ballet, will, it is confidently hoped, be t hou g ht ,worthy of the former repittution of the. Theatre, and of the just ex ' 'Pectations - of-its distinguished suppOrters. In consequence of the late period at which it was resolved • t o open the. Theatre, the arrangements, satisfactory as it Is hoped they will even now be found, are not . . yet fully corn , Pleted ; and negotiations are in progress from which impor tant accessions are expected. • • The following arrangements have been completed : • OPERA. • MADAME ALBONI, Her first appearance in - Louden these five years.

Clarendon (uuder -date of 21-trch• 3 4. 185 0). that Mr: Clayton was infoiined . by Sir Henry Bul wer,_ before the treaty . of - 1850 was signed,- that Ruatan was de jqre and de facto &British possession, and that Mr. giwon had, on" various occasions since, in_conVersitiotrwith.: him (Mr. Crampton), stated. that he considered Ruatan as much a British possession as Jamaica, or any other British West Indian The following is the important note "by Lord 'Clarendon mentioned above, and which may be considered a fullstatement of the case of the English Government " No. 176. " STATEMENT TO MR. BUCHANAN. " The substance of the case submitted to her Majesty's - Goveramtnt by Mr. Buchanan may be briefly stated as follows : " 1. That Great Britain, prior to April, 1850; was 'in possession,of the whole coast of Central America, from the Rio Hondo to the Port and Harbour of San Juan de Ni caragua, except that portion of •it between the Sarstoon and Cape Honduras, together with the adjacent Honduras island of Ruatan.' "2. That the Government of the United States does not understand under what. title Great Britain, having aban doned the greater part of these possessions in 1786, re sumed them subsequently ; nor does it know precisely at what period the protectorate of Great Britain -over MO3- quito was re-established, the first intimation which the United States Government had r eceived on the subject be ing from an American agent in 1842 ' • and that, mcreover, Captain Bonnycastle, and other authorities, had never re presented the Mosquito shore as extending as far as the river and town of San Juan de Nicaragua which latter the Spaniards had considered a place of muchimportance, and the key to the Americans, "3. That it appears to the United States Government that Spain, in virtue of the treaty of 1786, had a-right to object to Great Britain establishiiig herself on the Mos quito coast, or assuming , the protectorate of Mosquito; and that Great Britain baby her treaty with Mexico recog nised that the former colonies of Spain stool in the same position with respect to other States as Old Spain herself, and inherited the advantages of the ancient treaties of the mother country; that the United States' Government had always contested the claim of Great Britain to all the pos sessions held by her in Central America, with the excep tion of that portion of the settlement of Belize which is situate betWeEn the Rio Hondo and the Sibun ; that it had always resisted the sight of Great Britain to establish a pro tectorate over the Mosquito; and that it had learnt with great surprise and regret that the British forces had, in 1848, expalled the Nicaraguan authorities, which held the port and town of San' Juan de Nicaragua in virtue of the Old Spanish rights, and had then hoisted thereupon the flag of the Mosquitos. "4. That Mr. Monroe, when President of ,the United States, bad, in 1823, announced in a public message to Congress that the American continents were not hence forth to be considered subject to colonization by European Powers. "5. That no claim on the part of Great Britain to act in the name or under the authority of the Mosquito Indians could be well founded, inasmuch as the race, even if never conquered by Spain, were savages who, accordin g to the practice and principles of all European nations which had .ever acquired territory on the continent of America, had no title to rank as independent States in the territory they occupied, but had a claim to mere occupancy thereon, such territory being the dominion of the discoverer of it, or even Of the discoverer of territory on the same continent, though far distant from it, by whom alone this claim to mere occupancy on the part of the Indians was to be ex tinguished by purchase a".4he advances of the White set: tlements rendered it necessary. " And, finally, that Great Britain, having declared by treaty in 1850 that she would neither colonise, fortify, oc cupy, nor assume dominion over Mosquito or Central Ame rica, was thereby, at all events, bound to withdraw her protection from the people and territory of the Mosquitos, and moreover to deliver up Ruatan, which was an island belonging to Honduras, a Central Ainerican State, but which, neyertheles , , had recently been colonised and occu pi,el by Great Britain. "Such are the main points brought forward by Mr. Bu chanan in the statement which he has delivered to her Majesty's Government. " If; in speaking of the possessions held by Great Britain previous'to 1850 on the coost of Central America (the set.' tleueent of Belize excepted), Mr. Buchanan means that his expressions should apply to that district which is called the Mosquito country, it is proper that her Majesty's Govern ment should at erica state that her Majesty has never held any possessions whatsoever in the Mosquito country. But, although Great Britain hell no possessions in the Mosquito country, she undoubtedly exercised a greet and extensive influence over it as the protecting ally of the Mosquito King; that King or chief having occasionally been even crowned at Jamaica under the auspices of the British authorities. " The United States' Government will, it is apprehended, scarcely expect that Great Britain should enter into any explanation or defence of her conduct with respect to acts committed by her nearly 40years ago, in a matter in which no right oe possession of the United States was involved. " The Government of the United States would, it is con ceived, Le much and justly surprised if the Government of Great Britain were now to question the propriety of any of its own long past acts by which no territorial sight of Great Britain had been affected ; nor woull the Atherican people consider any justification or explanation of such acts to foreign States consistent with the dignity and in dependent position of the United States. " The Government of the United States, therefore, will i not be surprised if the Government of Great Britain ab stains on this occasion from entering into anything which• might appear an explanation or defence of its conduct with regard to its long-established protectorate of the Mosquitos. " With respect to any right, or any interference, on the part of the Government of Old Spain on the subject of the Mosquito protectorate, it must be observed that since the peace of 1815 that Government has never raised any ques tion with respect to this protectorate ; and as for Great Britain having by her treaty with Mexico recognised, as a principle, that the engagements between herself and Spain were necessarily transferred to every fraction of the Spanish monarchy which now exists, or may exist, on a distinct and independent basis, her Majesty's Government must entirely deny this assumption. Great Britain, in her treaty with Mexico, simply stipulates that British subjects should not be worse off under Mexico independent than under Mexico when a Spanish province. It was natural in recognising the independence of Mexico that Great Britain should make such a stipulation; but the fact of her doing so rather proves that she thought a special stipulation necessary, and that she did not conceive that she would have enjoyed un der any general principle the privilege she bargained for ; and this stipulation, as indeed the,treaty itself, is a proof that Mexico was not considered as inheriting the obliga tions or rights of Spain. " But, admitting that it may in some cases be expedient, although not obligatory, to recognieh the rights and obliga tions of Old Spain as vested in the new Spanish-American States; and allowing that, in conformity with that policy, Great Britain might have thought proper to receive, con cerning Mosquito, the remonstrances of those neighbouring republics which have successively risen in America on the ruins of the Spanish empire; even then it may be observed that no remonstrance was made by any of such republics for many years after the protectorate of Great Britain over Mosquito had been a fact well known to them ; and, more over, that when such remonstrances were made, they were made with similar pretensions, not by one only, bat by several of those Governments , insomuch that, if the Mos quito Indians were at this moment withdrawn altogether from the portion of America which they now inhabit, and if it were permitted to the States of Spanish origin to in herit, each respectively, the claims of their parent State, it would still be a question on which of the claimants the territory thus left unoccupied would of right devolve ; while it is certain that such withdrawal, without previous arrangements, would lead to contests alike disadvantageous to the real interests of the several States and to the gene ral prosperity of Central America herself. "Thus mach with reference to the conduct and position of Spain and the Central American States with regard to the British protectorate in Mosquito ; but, with respect to the conduct and position of the United States relative thereto, Mr. Buchanan is mistaken in thinking that the United States' Government has always contested and re sisted the position assumed by Great Britain on the Mos quito coast. "It may be true that the United States .were not in formed of the position of Great Britain in respect to Mos quito until 1842, but they . were then informed of it; and yet there is no trace of their having alluded to this ques tion in: their communications with her Majesty's Govern ment up to the end of 1849. Nay, in 1850, when the Pre sident of the United States presented to Congress various papers relative to the affairs of Central America, it will be seen that, on introducing these affairs to the attention : of Congress, the President's Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs expressly says that the Government of Nicaragua, in November, 1847, solicited the aid of the United States' Government to prevent an anticipated attack on San Juan by tho British forces on behalf of the Mosquito King, but received no answer ; that the President of Nicaragua ad dressed the President of the United Stites at the same time, and received no an swer ; that in April, - 1818, the United States' Consul at Nicaragua, at the request of the Minister of Foreign Affairs of that republic, stated the ois cupation of San Juan by a British force, but was not answered; that on the sth of November, 1818, M. Cas tellon proceeded to London fr om Nicaragua, and then to Washington, ' addressed a letter to the United States' Secre tary of State, soliciting his intervention with regard to the claims of Great Britain in right of the Mosquito , received JIG kat! ca_the of: it would thus secm,.on the authority of the United Slate's' Gaverriment-itself, that up to the end - of 1849,•the United States', Government had made no, remark or ninon : . strance to Great Britain on the subject of her protectorate of Mosquito; and that even with respect to the capture of Sin Juan de Nicaragua (now called Greytown), the United States' Minister in London was not authorised to take any steps concerning it, nor even te.afford to the commissioner from NicaragUa the be.netit of his counsels and good offices thereupon; and it is but right to ol”erve that the United Slates' Government pursued by this course towards her Majesty's Government that friendly and considerate policy which her Majesty's Government always wishes to pursue, and has pursued towards the United States' Government when that Government has had differences with other Powers. , . • 1 " With regard to the grounds on which her Majesty's Government made the capture of San Juan de Nicaragua in 1818, the desire of her, Majesty's Government to avoid all subjects of cobtroversy on which it is not absolutely neces sary to enter, restrains it from here adverting to.the docu ments which stated the reasons on which her Majesty's Government came to the resolution it at that time adopted;' and, indeed, as those documents were laid before Parlia ment, and communicated officially to the United States' Government, it would be superfluous now to recapitulate their contents. " With regard to the doctrine hid down b y Mr. President Monroe in 1823, concerning the future colonisatimi of the American continents byEuropean `States, as an international axiom which ought to regulate 'the conduct of European States, it can only be.vinwed as the 'dictum-of the distin guished personage who delivered it ; but her Majesty's Go vernmeut cannot admit that doctrine as an international axiom which ought to regulate the conduct .of European States. " The doctrine with regard to the incapacity of the In diani to exercise tlie lights of Sovereign Powers must also remain a doctrine on which each State which has to deal with such Indians must be free to exercise its own. -policy, and to follow the dictates of its own conscience. " It is certainly true that Great Britain, Spain, and the United States were all at one time in the habit of treating, the Indian races in the manner which Mr. Buchanan de. scribes.; but this past practice, though general, cannot be taken as an invariable guide for any future policy. The period has not yet passed beyond the memory of man at which Great and the Upited States, now so nobly distin guished in suppressing the slave trade, practised and en couraged that trade, and deemed it legitimate. " The project of a free Republic, composed chiefly of neeroes from the United States, and originally established under the enlightened and humane patronage of the United States, would have been deemed, 50 years ago, an absurd ' and impossible chimera ; yet Liberia exists, and now flou rishes as an inilepenclent•State. Already, Great Britain, in her own dealings with Indians, has recognised their rulers as independent chiefs ; while, in her treaties with foreign Powers, she has spoken of their tribes as nations, and sti pulated for the restoration of their possessions. " Thus on all the above-mentioned topics her Majesty's Government, without seeking to impose any opinions on the United States' Government, claims a right to hold its own opinions ; nor does it indeed appear necessary, although doubtless it would be desirable, that her Ma jesty's Government and the United States' Government should be perfectly agreed with respect to them. " The one remaining subject to be discussed is, however, of a very different character. It relates to a question in which Great Britain and the United States aro both directly concerned, and in regard to which it is a matter both of honour and interest that they should avoid all misunder standings or disagreements. " This subject is the rightful interpretation of a treaty engagement to which Great Britain and the United States are parties. " Mr. Buchanan lays it down as a fact that Great Bri tain held the sovereignty of the Mosquito coast prior to 1830, and he then states that Great Britain still continues to bold this sovereignty, although the treaty of 1850 pro hibits her from so doing. " But Mr. Buchanan confounds the two conditions of a sovereignty and of a protectorate, and under this • error treats the agreement net to colonise, nor occupy, nor fortify, nor assume nor exercise dominion over,' as includ ing an agreement not to protect. " With respect to sovereignty, Groat Britain never claimed, and does not now claim, or hold, any sovereignty in or over Mosquito,; but with respect to the protectorate which Great Britain has long exercised over Mosquito. Her Majesty's. Government asserts that the treaty of 1850 did not, and was not meant to, annihilate such pro tectorate, but simply to confine its powers and limit its influence. "Now, the spirit Of a treaty must always be inferred from the circumstances under which it takes place ' and the true construction of a treaty must be deduced from the literal meaning of the words employed in its framing. "The circumstances under which the treaty of 1850 took place were the following "Up t ) March, 1819, i. e., one whole year after the cap ture of San Juan t 1.3 Nicaragua by the British forces, the United States Government made no observation, as it has already been stated, to the British Government, having any allusion to this act. Bat in Nov., 1819, Mr. Law rence, then just arrived in Eagland as the representative of the United States Government, addressed a note to Lord Palmerston, not asking any question as to the British pro tectorate of Mosquito, but requesting to know whether her Majesty's Government would join with the United States in guaranteeing. the neutrality of a ship-canal, rail way, or other communication between the two oceans, to be opened to the worhl, and common to all nations, and whether the British Government intended to occupy or colonise Nicaragua, Costa Rica, the Mosquito Coat so called, or any part of Central America. To this note Lord Palmerston replied by stating that her Majesty's Gov2ru . snout had no intention to occupy or colonise Nicaragua, Costa Rica, the Mesquite Coast, nor any part of Central merica, and that her Majesty's Government would feel great pleasure in combining and co operating with the Go vernment of the United States for the purpose of assisting the operations of a company which might be formed with a view to establish a general communication by canal or railroad across the Isthmus, separating the northern and southern portions of the American continent, both by - 1 offering security for the works while in progress, and when completed and in use, and by placing such communication, through the moans of political• arrangements, beyond the I reach of molestation, disturbance, -or obstacle, by rea son of international disputes which mayaat any time unfortunately arise ; upon the' conditions,moreover, that such communication should at all times be open and acces sible for the commerce of all nations, and on equal terms for all. , " These notes, copies of which are hereunto annexed, are of -great importance,inasmuch as they laid the foundation for the subsequent onveution of Washington, while they explain the nature of the feelings entertained at that time by the United States' Government, and by the Government of her Mijesty. "It was clear that the United States' Government, which had regarded the affairs of Central America not long before with comparative indiff.irente,bad had its attention lately called to this part of the worl l by its acquisition of California and the discovery of the ore which that region was found to contain—circumstances which rendered of vast importance some safe and rapid means of cornmunica• tion between the possessions of the United States on the Facile and the possessions of the United States on the At lantic. " A project of a canal communication, moreover, through the State and Lake of Nicaragua, and the River San Juan was then in contemplation, and Nicaragua bad granted to a company of American citizens whatever rights it possessed over this proposed line of traffic. _ _ " Great Britain, however, by having placed a people un der her protect;.ondu possession of the port and town of San Juan do Nicaragua, might exert her influence either to pre vent this canal being formed, or, if she allowed it to be formed, might aim, through her protectorate, at acquiring over such canal peculiar rights or absolute control. "The Government of the United States was therefore justly anxious to know whether the British Government would favour or impede the construction of a canal by the river San Juan, and whether it would attempt to establish a predominant and permanent power over this canal, by colonising, fortifying, occupying, or taking absolute pos session of the country through which it passed. " The mere protectorate of Great Britain, stripped of those attributes which affected the construction and the freedom of the proposed canal, was of small consequence to the United States ; but, connected with those attributes, it was a matter of great importance. "On the other hand, her Majesty's Government, which had just expelled the Nicaraguans from Greytown or San Juan de Nicaragua, and the country adjacent, and had for mally discussed and finally rejected the claims of the Nica raguan Government to these contested posessions, could not with honour or credit retire, at the mere interposition of the United Mates, from the position it had assumed, or abandon the long established British protectorate over the Mosquitos, and allow the authorities of Nicaragua to re-occupy the ground from which they had so recently been driven. But Great Britain could clearly engage herself to the United Stater to do all that was required respecting the construction and protection of my canal communica tion, to be enjoyed on equal terms by all nations, and she could also limit the, powers of her protectorate over Mos quito so as to remove all suspicion, or possibility of her using it in any manner that would place such canal com munication under her exclusive authority and dominion. ,Thus, when the drawing up of a treaty afterwards took place, the object of the British negotiator, and, it must be presumed, that'of both negotiators, necessarily was, to draw up such a convention as, without conceding any spe cific point on which one party could not in honour yield, would make such concessions on all other points as the other party desired ; and if the convention in question be referred to, it will be seen that it is drawn indifference, carefully in such a manner as to make it a matter of so far as the canal is concerned, as to whether the port and town of San Juan are under the modified protectorate of Great Britain, or under the Government of Nicaragua. Moreover, in drawing up this treaty, both Mr. Clayton and Sir. H. L. Bulwer referred_ to :the notes which had posited - between Lord Palmerston and Mr. Lawrence, and even made use of the precise terms which had been there employed, from which it must of necessity be inferred that they meant to transfer to their convention, with the words which they borrowed, the meaning which they had previ ously attached to those words in the documents from which they extracted them • and a reference to such do cuments will at once show ehat Mr. Lawrence, while he asked her Majesty's Government whether it meant to oc cupy, fortify. colonise, or assume or exercise dominion over Mosquito, did not allude to the protectorate of Great Britc.in over that country; and that Lord I ) !tlmerston, in declaring that her Majesty's Government: did not intend to do any of these things, expmsly left the question con cerning the political relations between Great Britain and the Mosquitos untouched. So much for the spirit which presided over the Conven tion of ISSO. With regard to the literal meaning, this treaty declares in words.that-the two parties " will not -occupy, nor for tify, nox 0010)1if3Q1 nor ,aome, nor Quoin Du dminicA over 7!, icaragan, Costa Rica, the Mosquito coast, nor any part , uf Central America;' and that neither party will ma: ko - use of - any protection which eitliter, affords or may afford, . or any alliance which either has or may have with any St elite or people tor the purpose of . . . occu pying, fortifying, or colonising Nicaragua, Costa Rica, the Mosqui; to coast, or any part of Central America, or of as= suminiz, of exercising dominion over the same." Mr. Bu chanan says, with regard to that p or ti on o f th e foregoing ,sentence which restricts the use which Great Britain oi-...the United States might make of any protection which either might afford to any State or people, it has been said that this article of the convention acknowledges by implication the protectorate. of Great Britain over ' Mosquito. Nov, hi ir Majesty's Goverrimout does not pretend that in this arti the United States acknowledged the afore said protectorate of Great Britain in Mosquito ; it wag never the 'intention of her Majesty's'Government, or that of the Bri' sish negotiator, to obtain. indirectly that - which was not as iked for openly; but . it is evident that this article clearly acknowledges the possibility of Great Britain or the United States affording protection to Mos quito.or a n.Y. Central Anierican State; and that the inten tion of the parties was not to prohibit cr abOlish; but to limit and reistrict, such protectorate. _ Bat supposing all mention of protection in the treaty had been o-xiitted, and that the question at issue merely rested on thew words "colonise, fortify, occupy, and as• some or exercise dominion over," is there any one of these terms which excludes the right of protection; although each of there 'limits its capability'? Defendiire or protecting is a temporary act of friend ship ; occupying, colonising, fortifying, er acquiring sove reignty, acre acts which have a permanent result. It has never been held that neutral territories or king doms over which, other kingdoms are prohibited by treaty from acquiring dominion—which ether kingdoms cannot colonise,, occupy, nor fortify—may not be defended by such kingdoms at the desire and request of the neutral State; although it would doubtless be necessary for any nation-undertaking such defence to tteelarer fere:2lllly and promise clearly that it would not turn this transitory and allowable - act into one of a continuous nature, which en gagements had prohibited. No one will maintain that the bar to colonisation or for tifying is a bar to all protectiop; no one will assert that to afford protection to a State and establish dominion over it are necessarily the same thing ; no one will contend that to send a naval or military force for the purpose .of expelling an enemy from the territory of an ally, or of punishing his antagonist, is to hold or occupy the terri tory of that ally or of his enemy. Were this the sense of the word as inserted in the treaty of 1830, as that word is equally applied to all Central America as well as to Mosquito, it would have a far wider signification than her Majesty's Government contemplated, or than •that the United States' Governineet would, in all probability, admit ; for, in such a case, neither Great Bri tain nor the. United States could, in any circumstance, employ force, naval or military, against any Central Ame rican State, however great or just the provocation they might receive. Citizens of the United States, for instance, might on their way from California to Washington be arrested and confined on any suspicion or pretext, and the demands of the United States for their release refused. But is it .to be argued, that under such circumstances the United States could not send an armed forced into Nicaragua to compel the release of the citizens from California, and chastise those who had unjustly incarcerated them ? The United States' Government, however, would be bound to state the object it had in view in sending a force into Ni caraguae it would be bound to declare that it did not mean to colonise, fortify, occupy, or establish its sove reignty over Nicaragua, and by adhering'to this pledge its treaty obligations would be fulfilled. But surely this dispute as to the nature and meaning of protection is one that should not have 'arisen with respect to the treaty of 1850. The very object and nature of that treaty ought to ma nifest that protection is not equivalent to occupation or sovereignty, and that it does not of necessity imply the acquisition of any exclusive advantages to the parties pro tecting, or give those parties exclusive control over that which is protected. Great Britain and the United States, by the said treaty, bind themselves to protect certain canals, or railways, which may be formed through various inde pendent States ; Great Britain and the United States do not by this protection acquire any right of sovereignty or occupation over such canals or railways, whilst they carefully exclude .themselves from having any exclusive control over them, and from deriving from them Any exclu sive privileges. It is surely unnecessary further to discuss the construc tion of the treaty with reference to the protection ,of Mos quito. That her Majesty's Government merely expresses now that view of the treaty which it entertained, and which it had understood that the Government of the United States entertained, when the treaty was concluded, is evident from the fact that, within little more than-a month after the treaty of 1850 had been ratified her Ma jesty's Minister at Washington entered into further nego tiations with the Government of tho United States eela tive to the. position of Mosquito, interpreting the treaty as her, Majesty's Government now interprets it. That there was nothing extraordinary, unnatural, or unfair in the in terpretation thus given to the treaty by her Majesty's Go vernment, is equally evident from:the fact that such inter pretation was at once accepted by the Secretary of State, Mr. Webster, than . whom uo statesman at that time living whether in Europe or America, was more fitted to compre hend the spir.t or analyse the - wording-of-any international obligation; and that her Majesty's Government was not. at that time, and not now, animated by any such object as that of obtaining any peculiar interest or control over the River San Juan, or the canal that may be formed from its waters, is like vise d ornoastrated by the circumstance worth noting, that the object which Great Britain bad in view in pursuing these further negotiations with the United States was that of withdrawing her protection from the very town called Greytown, or San Juan do Nicaragua, and the adjoining territory, and of pacing the same in the hands of seine Central American State, on conditions in nowise beneficial to herself, or only beneficial in so far as such conditions tended to maintain .a state of peace and tranquillity. in that part of the world to which they re lated, and to preserve the Mosquitos in a territory border ing that which was to be ceded, in an inoffensive state of neutrality and security. Indeed, when her Majesty's Minister, in a conversation which took place about the end of July, 1851, on this sub ject, agreed, ou the part of the British Government, to assign Greytown to Nicaragui, upon her coining to a fair settlement with Costs Rica as to some of the points of con tention between them, and upon her agreeing to leave the Mosquito people unmolested within certain portions of the territory which they. now occupy, and over which the Spanish dominion never, otherwise than nominally, ex tended, Mr. Webster, whifet observing that the United States had no direct interest in any question concerning Nicaragua and Mosquito, except as respected the construc tion of a canal, and its free navigation, and that,' conse quently, he did not wish to take an active part in any ne gotiation extending beyond these limits, added, addressing himself to the Nicaraguan Minister, who was present, that he considered the offer made by the British Minister was one which the Nicaraguan Government might consider as a fair basis for au arrangement ; and her Majesty's Govern ment then entertained the hope and belief that, by 'the friendly understanding subsisting between Great Britain and the United States, and the joint efforts of both, such is settlement would be speedily concluded between all the parties interested as would enable her Majesty's Govern ment to release itself from the duty of protecting or defend ing Greytown, in which, for the time being, a self-elected body, in a great measure composed of United States' citi zens, was carrying on the Government in the name of the King of Mosquito. The preceding observations comprise all that her Ma jesty's Government has now to say with regard to that por tion of Mr. Buchanan's statement to which they have been intended to reply. But although the connection of Great Britain with Mos quito forms one of the subjects of Mr. BuClianan's commu nication, another subject, not less important, is the actual condition of British Honduras, Ruatan, and the Bay Islands. It was never in the contemplation of her Majesty's Go vernment, nor in that of the Government of the United States, that the treaty of 1650 should interfere in any way with her Majesty's settlement at Belize or its dependencies. It was not necessary that this should have been particu larly stated, inasmuch as it is generally considered that the term " Central America "—a term of modern invention — could only appropriately apply to those States at one time united under the name of the " Central American Repub lics," and now existing as five separate republics; but in order that there should be no-possible misconception at any future period relative to this point, the two negotiators, at the time of ratify ing the treaty, exchanged declarations to the effect that neither of the Governments they represented had meant in such treaty to comprehend the settlement and dependencies in question. - Mr. Clayton's declaration to her Majesty's Government on this subject was ample and satisfactory, as the follow ing extract from this note of July 4, 1850, will show : " The language of the ,first article of the convention concluded on the 19th day of April last, between the Uni ted States and Great Britain, describing the country not to be occupied, &c., by either of the parties, was, as you know, twice approved by the Government, and it was neither understood by them, nor by either of us (the ne gotiators), to include the British settlement in Hondurase (commonly called British Honduras, as distinc t from . t h e State of Honduras), nor the small islands in th e " Ei gn bourhood of that settlement which maybe kno wn a its dependencies. •i To this settlement and these islands the treaty we ne gotiated was not intended by eithe r of title to them it is now, and has been my rie s te to n tlope h through • out the whole negotiation, to leave as, the .way meddling treaty leaves it, without denying or affirreing, in any with the same, just as it stood previously. Committee on . Foreign Relati ons The chairman of the C of the Senate, the lion. W. A. King, informs me that the senate perfectly understood that the treaty did not include British Honduras." Such having been the mutual understanding as to the exception of the settlement of Belize and its dependencies from the operation of the treaty, the only question relative to this s ettlement and its dependencies, in reference to the treaty, that can now arise, is as to what is the Settlement of Belize and its dependencies, or, in other words, as to what is British Honduras and it s d epen d en cies. Her Majesty's Government certainly understood that the settlement of Belize, as here alluded to, is the settle=: merit of Belize as established in 1850 ; and it is more war ranted in this conclusion from the fact that the United gestates had, in 180, sent a consul to this settlement, which consul had received his exequatur from the British Go vernment—a circumstance which constitutes a recognition by the United States' Government of the settlement of British Honduras under her Majesty as it then existed. Her Majesty's Government at once states this, because it perceives that Mr. Buchanan restricts the said settlement within the boundaries to which it was confined by the treaty of 1786; whilst her Majesty's Government not only has to repeat that the treaties with Old Spain cannot be held, as a matter of course, to be binding with respect to all the various detached portions of the old Spanish-American mo narchy, but it has also to observe that the treaty of 1736 was put an end to by.e subsequent state of war between Great Britain and Spain ; that during that war the boun daries of the British settlement in question were enlarged ; and that when peace was re - established between Great Bri twat Nid stridizs9 trot: of wpolitioagatuxe, or relating to territorial limits, revived those treaties "betvreen Groat B • . rs tain and Sp a i n -Whi c h h a d prev i ously existed. Her Majesty's Government, in stating this fast, declarers distinctly, at the same Limo; that itslias no projects of po. litical ambition or aggrandisement whkiarspectlp tha-set.. Cement referred to; and that it, will be - itiebjectftp to some'prompt, fair, andniticable arranallYtent Nnh tie States in the vicinity of Bii[ish Honduras for regulating thi omits which should be given to it, and Which shall not henceforth be extended beyond the' bbirndaries now as signed to them. As to Ruatan and the adjoining islands, all that can be debateable as to them is, whether they are island depen. deacies of Belize, or attached to some Central American State. Now it cannot be disputed that 'whenever Ruatan has been pernaasently occupied; either in remote or recent times, by anything more than a: military guard or flagstaff, the occupation has been by British subjects. . It is true that the Republic of Central America declared that it had a flag flying in that island from 1 21 ta. 1839 ; but this fact merely r es t e d on that Republic's declarati on , and all . that is positively known is that when the British Government were aware that a foreign flag Was flying at Ruatan ' a British ship of war w a s sent to haul it down, and since ,that time no attempt has been made to re-establish it; but, nn the contrary, when on two or twee occasions complaints have been brought by the citizens of Central American States against the settlers in Ruatin tothe com mandant. of Truxillo, the commandant -has referred them to Belize, telling them that the island was .British. It is, moreover, a fact that Ruatan has becnrof late years, without tray instigation on the, part of her Majesty's Go cerement, spontaneouily occupied by British subjects, and that the superintendent of Belize has been in.the habit of visiting the island, appointing the magistrates in it, and generally managing its affairs'. In , going ;back to an cient times it is also well known that in 1742 . the English were formerly settled at Ruatan, - and that in the atlas of the West Indian islands published by Jefferies, the King's geographer,in 1795, Rattan or Ruatan is coloured as a British possession; and although this island and that of Bonacca have 'doubtless been at various times left unoe- Auspieel,- sad at others claimed or held" by other powers, it as certain that in 1838, 1839, or 1840, Great Britain not only asserted her right to the same, but declared her in. tention to maintain that right by force. These circumstances, without entering further into the subject, willnt least prove that the pretensions of Great Britain to consider Ruatan and Bonacca dependencies of Belize are of long standing, and ex i s t e d . certa i nly at the period of th e treaty of- 1850. Indeed, Mr. Buchanan, in his statement, observes that Ruatan was occupied in 1850 by Great Britain. But if Ruatan was at that time known -te-besvee. upitd by Great Britain as a settlement 'of Belize, and the United States' Government notwithstanding con sidered it to have been a portion of, Central" America, and thereby comprehended in the treaty—which Belize and its dependencies were not—the United States' Government woald beyond dcubt have openly stated that it did not consider Bunten included in the term "island dependen cies;" and Great B r it a i n was th ere f ore j ustified, since no such exception was made, in deeming that h er c l a i m t o Ruatan, as a pa r t o f th e elize settlement, was not about to be disputed. Her Majesty's Government deems that it. has by the foregoing observations furnished an adequate reply to the statement of Mr. Buchanan, and proved that the obliga tions of the treaty have in no respect being infringed. But having performed this duty, her Majesty's Govern. meat desires to say that it would be far more to its satis faction to arrange on fair terms any differences -of opinion with the Government of the United States than to prolong discussion and -argument respecting such_ differences. It has also no difficulty in al,i.ng that although it did not, by the treaty of 1850; abandon the right of Great Britain to protect the Mosquitos, yet it did intend to reduce and limit the exercise of that right. TO practical difference between Great Britain and the United States, with regard to the only mutually important portion of Mosquito—namely, that portion to which the construction and condition of the canal, which formed the origin and basis of the greats , of 1850, applies, is very small indeed. Th difference does not turn.up.ra the point whether Greet Britain should retain her protection over the port and town of San Juan, and the northern bank of that river, but upon the conditions on which that protec tion should be withdrawn. In short, the practical question at issue relative to arey town, and that part of the Mosquito country bordering .upon the river San Juan, is not whether Great Britain should, directly or indirectly, exercise dominion over the same, but whither Nic , or some other equally inde pendent state, should obtain possession thereof, in a man ner consonant with the honourable obligaticns of Great Brit un, the peace of the ceutral American continent, and the safety from persecution of the Mosquito Indians; or, on the other hand, whether Nicaragua should be put in possession of that territory in a manner almost certain to produce hostilities between Nicaragua and COsta Rica, and to lead to the persecution and destruction of the Mosquito people; an alternative to which Great Britain could not consent, and which the Government of the - United States coil./ have no motive in requiring. • It is true that in that more remote portion of 'the Mos. quito territory whore the chief or King of the Mosquitos himself resides, a British consul or agent also resides ; and this n sidont may oftentimes be called upon to give his opinion or advice to the Mosquito Government, as is usual when weak G vernments aro in alliance with strong ones, more especially when those strong ones have agreed to pro. tact the weak ones from external aggression, andraay there fore reasonably expect to have such influence over their policy as may prevent them from giving just pretext for invasion. • It is true also that Englihmen may thus be in the coun cils of the King of Mosquito, acting as his Ministers ; but Englishmen and Americans both hold the same position in the Sandwich Islands, the goveriment of which is carried on by foreigners, but is nevertheless (and the race is Indian) considered and treated as independent. To alter this state of things might at the present moment be impossible, but her . Majesty's Government would be ready and willing to enter into such engagements as should prevent Great Bri tain Troth receiving any privileges or advantages from the Mosquito Government not granted to other States. Her Majesty's Government can hardly anticipate any difEculty at this time with the United States respecting the continental establishment of Minium, the limits of which, in 1850, were so well known, and can be so easily ascertained, and which will not be extended ; but having shown that its pretensions to the islands of Ruatan and Bonacca are of no recent date, and that they were unques tioned by the United States Government in Iqso, her Ma jesty's Government cannot admit that an alteration in the internal form of government of these islands is a violation of the treaty, or affords a just cause of remonstrance to the United States. There are at all times two modes of dealing with matters of business between nations ; the one calculated to excite mutual irritation, the other to mitigate it; the one tending to prolong and increase differences, the ether to diminish and remove them'. The latter is the mode which her Majesty's Government earnestly desires in the present instance to adopt and to see ndopted, for it can hardly be necessary to say that there is no Government with which the people anti Government or Great Britain more sincerely desire to live in intimate and friendly relations than that of the United States. It is in accordance with the spirit which her Majesty's Government thus distinctly avows that her Majesty's Government thus proposes-to that of the United States : That the two Governments of Great. Britain and the United States should at once endeavour to come to some friendly understanding as to the government which should be definitively formed at Greytown, iu order to admit of the Mosquito authority being withdrawn therefrom ; and as to the engagements which such • Government should enter into with regard to the claims of Costa Rica, and the future non-molestation of the Mosquitos ; and that the two Governments should endeavour, in the same wanner, to come to some friendly understanding as to this mode by which protection may be most effectually afforded to the Mosquito Indians. It is the desire of her Majesty's Government, not only to maintain the Convention of 1 , 50 intact, but to consoli date and strengthen it by strengthening and consolidating I the friendly relations which it was calculated to -cement and perpetuate. Her Majasty's Government regrets that any misunderstanding should have arisen with respect to its terms ; but it entertains the firm belief that, by the explanations it has now given, and the proposals it makes, that misunderStanding will be completely removed.

MURDER IN STAFFORDSHIRE. , The county of Stafford has again been the scene of a fearful and revolting tragedy, the horror of which is, however, very much mitigated by the conviction that the perpetrator of it was the subject of mental aberra tion at the time of the commission of the terrible ad.. Alstonefield, where the frightful occurrence has taken . place, is an extensive parish in Staffordshire, on the con fines of Derbyshire, from which latter county it is sepa rated by the River Dove. The village is picturesquely situated on a western declivity above Dovedale, and is rten miles from Leek, and six from Ashbcurn, in Derby ahi re. A. cottage at Arcbford Moor, a secluded part of the Oafish, lying between Alstonefield and Ilnlme : end, was occupied by Thomas Berrisf ird, an old man, and two relatives of his, named Ann Edge, a ged 76, and Betsey Edge, 56 years of age - the latter being familiarly called "Betty Edge," being a niece of the old woman: The two women occupied one bed, and the old man slept in , an adjoining bed in the same room. On Wednesday even. ing last, the oceupents of the cottage retired to rest as usual, nothing out of the ordinary course having cc- currtd during the da y . Oa Thurs d a y morning, Betty Edge, ' r gotezeprocuredau it is supposed, by s ome unaccounta b le havingclock, and wen t d own s tairs, and at 5 o a hatchet, s h e returned to the bed room and dealt her aged aunt, who wag lying asleep, several blows with it on the head. The noise et the blows' awakened the old man, who was lying in the adjeining bed, and he instantly arose and seized the murderess as she was in the act of striking her Nictim another violent blow, but he was too l a t e t o sav e th e old woman's life. The poor old woman, whose head and face were shock ingly disfigured, was unconscious, but not quite dead. She was attended by Mr. Cridge, surgeon; of Bank Tup, near Sheen; but she died in about an hour. Information of the terrible occurrence was imme diately given to Police-constable Critchlow, and he forth with took Betty Edge into custody. No motive is as scribed for the commission of the deed. The murderess has been ill, and under medical- attendance for 'some time previonsly, and from all that we can learn there is every reason to believe that at the time of the commis sion-of the fatal-deed she was not in- a sound st4te of mind.---staffordskire Advertiser. , • An inquest has been held, and a verdict of wilfulenure der returned against Betty Edge, who has.coneeeeiently . been committed to Stafford - gaol to take her trial at the -summer assizes. - - • • - CRYSTAL PALACE.—FIVE SHILLING RAY, April 26. —Admissions on payment, season ;- ditto by tickets, 4,593 ; total visitors, 5,122.
