Intelligence to the 15th states that the rejection of
the Dallas-Clarendon Treaty by the British Govern-
ment had created consideranle dissatisfaction at
Washington. Meanwhile, the affair is to be left over
until next session. The Washington Union, of the
9th, says :
We learn that the Cabinet have acquired considerable
insight into the motives which prompted Lord Palmerston
to reject the Dallas-Clarendon Treaty. His lordship pro.
fesses only to desire certain very limited protection to the
Indians and to resident British subjects, and the modifica-
tion of the treat}• to that extent. This position, which has
been semi-officially assigned to the London Cabinet, is by
no means comprehensible by the President and his
Cabinet. Indeed, if we consider the assumed attitude of
Lord Clarendon since the rejection of the treaty, it will be
impossible to comprehend whet in reality is the of ject of
her Majesty's Government in Central America.
The Union also announces by authority the fol-
lowing:—
The Governments of England and France have notified
to the Government of New Granada that they cannot
approve its position towards the United States. Lord
Clarendon has written to the British Envoy here, apprising
him of the attitude of her Majesty's Cabinet upon this
question, and we have reason to know that the contents
of Lord Clarendon's despatch have been communicated to
the State Department.

LORD EBRINGTON made his appearance on Satur-
eay last, at the meeting of the Marylebone Repre•
scntative Council, and was well received. Having
apologised for interraring the business, he said
he could not return to England without taking
the earliest opportun;ty to express, through the
vestry of Marylebone, his thanks and sense of grati-
tude to the constituency for re-electing him in the
handsome manner they had done during his absence,
and for the forbearance they had shown to him
during a long and trying illness. He entreated the
electors not to identify him with any opinions or
measures of which he had not expressed himself in
favour. His health was now so much improved that
he hoped to be enabled to give his best attention to
the important duties confided to him as the repre-
sentative of that great borough, and generally as a
member of Parliament. Sir James Hamilton replied
that be was only expressing the feelings of the entire
body of the vestry, as well as his own, when he said
they were highly gratified at seeing Lord Ebrington
restored to something like his usual state of bout' 'h,
and again able to resume his duties.
