The Washington correspondent of the New York
Herald states that Mr. taw takes the rejection of
the Dallas-Clarendon treaty in high dudgeon, and
thinks that the action of the English government is
wholly indefensible. The treaty aa it originally
stood waa framed by Mr. Marcy, and not by Mr.
Dallas; the latter only secured tho sanction of the
British government. Mr. Dallas, in a letter to
General Cam, expresses the opinion that if the.
treaty had reached Enema prior to the parlia-
mastery. election, it would undoubtedly have
been ratified. Anodes: despatch says that the
ofikial pawn annsannioated by Lord Napier
contain a formal proposition for a new Central
American treaty, but the administration will do
nothing with it until the meeting of the next Con-
greet, when the entire subject will be laid before
the Senate, in deference to their views hinted=
expressed.
