Some important correspondence has just been laid
before the United States House of Representatives,
and puhlished at New York, which passed between
the British minister at Washington and Mr. Clayton,
the American Secretary of State, relative to Costa
Rica. The remit has been received with mu•:h satis-
faction on the other side of the Atlantic, and the
Now York journals particularly draw attention to the
disclaimer made on the part of the British govern-
ment in regard to the establishme .t of pro-
tectorates over American states, which, apply-
ing, as it ckes, not only to the central American,
but to all other states, "must quiet," says the Na-
tional Intelligencer, "all those unfoanded apprehen-
sions which have been Do often expressed as to the
intentions of Great Britain in Yucatan and other
places;' and on this account the satisfactory tone of
the negotiations had given great pleasure to all who
prize the value of amicable relations between the two
countries. It may be remarked that the inquiries
referred to in the correspondence were mado by order
of President Taylor, he having received inteliigence
of the existence of a treaty of the nature alluded to.
Mr. Bulwees communication is as follows :

BRITISH LaQATION, April 29, 1559 —Sir,—l have the
honour to inform you that her Majesty'. covcroment have
entirely approved of the language which I hi Id to you, with
reference to your inquiry as to whether it was true that Mr.
Cbatfi-ld bad made a treaty with Costa Rica, taking that
republic under British protection, and of the assurance I
then gave you, that I did not believ ~ from the opinions
which I had heard her Majesty's Secrn►ry of State for
Foreign Affairs express, that he could tare an.hotived Mr.
Chatfield to make any treaty placing the Republic of Costa
Rica under the protecif9n of her Majesty. I have been
furthermore instructed to state to you that the British govern-
ment has not made, and has no iotention of making, any
treaty or arrangement with Costa Rica fey taking that state
under British protection. I am also desired to add, that it
would be contrary to the Shod and settled policy of Great
Britain to entangle herself by any engegement to protect
distant states, over whose policy and conduct it would be
impouibld for the British government to exercise any effec-
tive control. such a prowctorate would confer no possible
advantage on Great Britain, and might become the source
of many embarraesments to her.—l avail myself of this op-
portuaity to renew to yon the assurance of my highest
consideration. H. L. Bel.wza.
Hon. J. )I. Clayton, &c.
Mr. Clayton, in reply, after recapitulating the
points of the British minister's note in the usual way,
proceeds to observe—" I take pleasure in expressing
the satisfaction with which this government has re-
ceived this friendly assurance from that of her Bri-
tannic Majesty, the more especially as it cannot fail
to strengthen the bonds of amity now existing between
our respective countries."

AccoUnts received from Mayaguez, Porto Rico, to
the 15th July mention that the sugar and molasses
crops had been entirely shipped. There were but
five hogsheads of molasses at the port %hen the ac-
counts left.

The Guatemala Ga:ette of the 16.11 of June notices
the arrival in that city of a very large convoy with
dry goods. It was composed of 3,090 mules, carry-
ing upwards of 4,000 packages of goods, and
100,000 dollars in cash, belonging to different mer-
chants, who intended to invest these funds in the
purchase of cochineal. This is the largest quantity of
goods that had bean received in the city at one time
since the roads have become so insecure. It se as cal-
culated that the freight alone would amount to up-
wards of 50,000 dole. The cochineal crop, which
gave such indications of abundance, had suffered coa-
siderably in Antigua in consequence of heavy
rains. In Amatitlan the crop had been got in with-
out injury.
