LONDON, FRIDAY, JUNB 27.

Twa replies of the British Government to the
Algerian Government with respect to the Central
American question and the Recruiting question are
now before the public, and will be found in soother
c)lomn. In a matter where conflicting testimony
forms so large a portion of the dispute, it would be
hazardous to express say opinion off hand. The de-
tails of the controversy we reserve for future consi-
deration. Bat bearing in mind the delicate position
in which the two Governments ire placed, and the
determination at which our Government has arrived,
the two despatches of the FOREIGN SECRE-
TARY MR to occupy the only ground which
remained open to the Ministry. That statesman may
possibly have acted erroneously. Upon that we at
present express no opinion. But having acted as be
has done, he appears to have made as dignified and
sensible a reply to Mr. Mince as the position which
be now occupies permitted.
Upon the Control American question his course
was clear enough. After lotting forth the first Arti-
tick of the Clsyton•Bulwsr Treaty—the main object
of which was to provide that the lines of commercial
communication, through whatever part of Central
America they might pass, should be free for the use
of all nations, sad should not fall under the exclusive
genteel of any Power—Lord CLARENDON observes
that, in the opinion of her MAJESTY'S Government,
both England and America retatned the rights which
they had previously enjoyed when those rights were
not expressly abandoned.
With regard to the Mosquito Protectorate, the
Treaty, so far from requiring existing protection to be
abandoned,ouly forbids sub protection from being rued
for certain purposes—gamely, "for those of erecting or

maintaining any fortifications, or of co:spying. fere&
tying, or eoloaislog the countries therein specified."
Lord CLARENDON further declaree, that whilst his
Government would gladly (as he repeatedly told
Mr. Bocaawsw) abandon the Mosquito Protectorate,
if it could be done with honour to Great Britain
and safety to the Indiana, still cannot eon-
sent to abandon it or to give up the island of
Rasta". a British possession, merely in pursuance of
an interpretation given by the American Government
to a treaty, which interpretation oar Government can-
not admit; bat the British G3veroment proposed the
most "seal and the most friendly conrse—to refer the
meaning of the Treaty to the decision of a third
Power. After some very pertinent observations as to
the alleged ignorance of the American Government of
the oler to submit the matter to arbitration, Lord
CLARENDON asserts that with respect to Belie• the
only point concerns the boundary of that tenitory—be
vindicates the title of Grist Britain to Beaten and
the other Bay Islands, and concludes by expressing
his satisfaction that Mr. Dam.as is instructed to
enter into conuannicatico, in order to ascertain, in
the first place, whether existing differences cannot
be promptly terminated by direct negotiation, and if
they cannot. then to discuss the condition of arbitra•
tics. In short, with regard to this Castro! Amnion
question, Lord CLARENDON has merely tempted that
warms which he has thresgbont bees willing to
adopt. We need hardly repeat Lied CLARENDON'S
hopes that these negotiations may be soadocted in a
spirit of cordiality and frankness.
With regard to the Recruiting question. lard CLA-
RZNDON expresses his regret that the American
Government lentil' unsatisfied with the solemn denial
given by Mr. Csanrroe and theOonmels of thevariose
acts alleged to have been committed by them ; de.
clans that be can find in the new document'
submitted by the Ameritian Governissiat, no *vi-
ews worthy se belief ; expresses the high opinion
"Ma &e lm.* Goverement still retains of Mr.
tym‘mmmes ama, ability, and integrity; and declares
that the British Government cannot but believe that
the Pamermwr has been misled by erroneous infer-
minima
