TES BAAL OF CLAILINDON TO MIL DALLAS

Fond's. elle, Jane 26,18.58.

Mee siNse, dated the 24th ult., a copy of which was
deed by yes in my hands on the 11th haunt, cm the gab-
net of the difference of opinion benne the British govern-
ment sad that of the United States, regarding the ecostrsth

Before I premed le aemmaakato to you the views of k.,
Majesty's gement he imply to this despeteb, I will beg
lean to remake is geheens Is Mr. Marcy's observitioa
that direct wousunielige sem the mass subject had for
ecosse time wased hewn Mr. Beshaan sad smolt, the'
gosh memssiestion had (weed luaus it appeared to her
Majesty's goverament that lute, esortspowissee was sot
likely to load to a sottlessint of the quern at in That
question turned spot the internetation of the treaty e
1860, respecting which her Majosty's government leerat
for the firs' time from Mr. Buchman that a view had bees
takes by the pretest government of the United Stens dif-
fered from that of the preceding gowernmest The treaty
arose oat of "he twins pm jots which had ben started for
comeneiciel onnomunicrions woos Central A
hennas tho Atlantic rad the Pastas, sad especial=
referees to the scheme of &ship cage by the river Br. Jon
sad the Le Nmaeogue. The main object of tee treaty
was to provide a security that mesh line of cosenercie eon
muneation, Or 'ugh whatever part of Central Amens they
might pus, should be free for the use of all nation and
'held not fall Rader the exclusive control of say power.
Then objects and neves are clearly 'spleen and
stated is the let article, whisk is u follows:
" The governments of Greet Britain sod the United
States hereby deign that neither the one nor the other
will ever obtain or maintain for noel, any exclude control
over the said ship esnal; gamin, that reither will
ever met or weintois any fortifications commanding
the sun, or is the vicinity thereof, or occupy, or fortify,
or colonise, or assume, or sunrise any domiciles over
Nosaregus. Crete &co, the Mosquito east, or any part of
i Central Amen ; sor will either make me of say pro-
tection which either affords or may afford, or any alliance
which ether hu or may hove, to or with soy state or
people, for the purpose of ereotlag or maistainiag any sub
iormlstione_, or of occupying, fortifying, or colonisirg
Nilleflir so Costs Rica, the Mosquito coast, cr say part ot
Costes: Alnico, or of assureog or easnielog dominion
over the some. Nor will Great Britain or the 'Jaded
Stites take advastars of any intimacy, or ase any
cessezios, or inflame* that either may possess with any
sun or goversmat through whow territory the said canal
ms y pm., for the purpose of acquiring or holding, dif may
or indirectly, for the subjects or einem of the one, any
rights or advantages ivegard to tOtOreeTtel or usvigatin
through the said canal, which shall not be offered, on the
vane tem, to the subjects or risings of the other."
Her "Nulty's govenumet deemed that the plan and no
triestiesable lateprotatio• of this Mien ww, fast each
goveremest was prohibited from &Mg whet the weeds of
the article explititly deigned the "Wm gressommet
should thereafter do; but that bulb ISSYSPi
the rights which ray had peene whore these
rights were not expressly Inhale,
With regard especially to therrehein obi*, for a leg
coarse of time, the British goverment hes Worded to the
Menem lading, this article, go for from requiring that
protection to cease, acknowledges its existence and mono-
plane in sostismann ; fir the article says that'ateither party
will "make nee of any protection which It affords, or may
afford, to say stet. or more, for the purpose of erecting.,
mistainiag any fortifications, or of occupying, fortifying,
or solosising the countries tern op than.' Tb. treaty,
therefore, does net require egadug protection to mu, bat
only forbids using such pronto* for geese spoiled par-
ries.
! I repeatedly Wormed Mr. Buchman that it was the wish
of her Majesty's goverment to withdrew from the nee
borate of Mogen, provided they could do so with honer,
searing adequate preens for the Hum sad the lediaas of
that onstry ; that Rams wag a posessoios of hn Mojestre
crows; sad that, se her Majesty's govenoseas could not
cement to sheath's the protec orate of illoquito, or to give
up the bind of Reston, merely in pursuance of an inter-
protein gives by the government of the Ceded Stotts to
a treaty, which interpretation her Majesty's government did
ear admit, the most anal, u well ss the moot friendly,
mares to pantie, was to refer the runic/ of the treaty to
the daisies of a third power.
This offer wss made by me to Mr. Buebanan by the
diming of her Majesty's government ; It wee were tens
mewed sad discussed bones us. Mr. Crompton
ought sedoubtedly, wording to his instructions, to [lave
esmoissinted to Mr. Moray, at the time when he rossind
it, my despatch of the 10th of November, rem es se-1
coast of my conversations with Mr. Beeman ; but his aot
have/ des" as wire of little coneequene, es Me. Buchan
had often seared me the everything which hod pawed
betimes u had bee duly reported to his govornmest. I
a therefore at a loss to sodomised how it hammed that
dm President should, as stated by Mr. Mercy, have bees
indeed only by certain collateral incidents to later that
whitens by a third power of the differesee between the
two evernmeats in relents to Central Annie had bees
pre posed by her hiskety'a government.
A misioneeption has, however, takes place, which is to be
regretted, on "mast of the delay which it hes meltdown
but this he bees modern comparatively unimportant by
the despatch of Mr. Huey, an the course of receding
which he now reposes for the adopties of the two govern-

Mr. Marty Is correct when he states that Great Britain
lays no claim teeny posession or territory on Poe Monsito
end, end her 'Nate" government consider new, as they
sissy, have c moldered, that the future coediting of the
Mosquito Indian., for which her Majesty's government ere
bond is boner to provide, might be assured by direct
asecontioth
It Is sot tostreded, sop sever he bogs eontended, that
the British goverusest, consistently with the stipulatiou
of the treaty of 1860, would, in the name of the Monet°
"tab. wish military force, and hold, flea leas
do Niseragn, or say other pole is Ctstral Americo;"
and her Majesty's governmeat spree with Mr. Many, that
such a proceedisg would be irrecosailesble with the nos.
posernsee and sestreity of the lone+, and would render
the treaty nugatory to the Vested States: bat no such pre-

With respect to the district of Beige, her Majesty's go-
