The Barl of Clarendon to Mr. Crampton.

Fortigc-;fike, November 10, 135.3.
81r,—Mr. Baehanan having, to the course of conversa-
tion • few days ago, adverted to the impression that could
be crewed in the United States by the non-iettlement of
the Central American question, I again attend him that
England had no wish to extend her influmie or to obtsia
any Corti cry to that part of the world; and I relaired= him
that at the diff, relics between this country and the United
States tuned solely upon the interpretation of the treaty of
1850, I had cffered, on the part of her Majesty's govern-
moat, to submit the caw to the arbitration of a third power,
but that he bad declined the offer. Her Majesty's govern
meat, I said, would still abide by that offer, and thought it
would be tbd fairest and awn imitable moaner of arriving
at • settlement of the question.
Mr. Bochua said he would make it knows to his
ventaest : and you are las:rutted to cmusaniesta this
dispatch tt Mr. Matcy.--I am. tftc ,

The Earl of Clarendon to Mr. Crampton.
Foreign.office, February 8, 1836.
Sir,—Mr. Bachtnen called berg two days ago, and with
reference to • statement of mine in the House of Lords on
the 31st ultimo, that her Majesty's goversmeat had offered
to the United States govenement to refer to arbitration doe
lsteepre'cdon of the treaty of 1850, said be had bet
aader-
staid that say such offer bad been odicially and formally
made to him, although be admiced that it had frequatly
hoes mentioned by me.
I told Mr. Buchanan that I teteived this cammuniestlon
with the lancet gorprise, and that I really was at • loss to
underetsad it, as the offer bad been made by me la the meet
formal by dietetics of the naiads ; Wt be had dis-
wised with me the objsetions to the costae and the difileuly
of /electing any power whom both parties would regard as
Impartial ; that, ia fact, we had hardly even diseased the
Central American question together, without my saying
that arbitration we'd be the fairest way of settling tkie
matter, and that nearly three =oaths se I had pis sag
his &Mato, to the offer of her Majesty's gave
which he hai pramised it report to his govornases7:ll.lll
