Your masses will waplain of no lack of news from
the United States by tilis steamer. It may be well

interpretation of the Central Amerman Treaty, as
pats it at an end. The effect has been to release Great

of the United States—after escaping a thousand

they had an absolute majority over all parties com-

by far the most numerous party. In no state from

Morning, N0v.14, 11 o'clock.
I have just received a despatch from Washington,
in which I place the fullest confidosee. Yeriter&y a
long cabinet soused was bold at the President's

well informed of the facts to believe any

Again the question of dismissing Mr. Crampton cams
up. The intercourse between him and Mr. Marcy
has not been cordial or satisfactory. It is true beyond
all doubt that the British Minister was perfectly in-
formed of every step taken by British agents for en-
listing the Foreign Legion in the United States, and
it is squally certain that De showed no disposition to
prevent a course which our government bad good

the despatch of the fleet, resulted in new and prompt
