American Government, which ;t is evident, frorn the
tone of his speech, he did not believe possible, his lord-
ship aids :---'I think noty,dy mill require of us to uteri-
flee our agents and to purchase a, cenciliation with the
United States by doing that which would be both shabby
and dishonourable.' Aft- r such sentiments we caa con-
ceive the effect which the i,e,s of Mr. Crampton's die-
missal must have had, not only upon the Ministry but
the people of Englan It must have fallen like a than-
detbolt upon the public mind, which had evidently con-
cluded that the question was definitely settled by Lord
Clarendon's letter- of explanation.s. It is impossible to
read th© sentences above quoted without arriving at the
conviction that we are entering upon a stage of these dif.
ficulties from which it will require the greatest caution
and forbearance to extricate ourselves. By this time it
is not unlikely that Mr. Dallas has received his dismis
sal ; and this measure will perhaps be followed by the
concentration of a large British naval force on the CO
of Central America and on our northern lakes and sea'
have
board. In the speech from which the extracts we
just quoted are taken, Lord Clarendon states that no an-
swer had up to that time been received from our Govern-
ment to his prop isition of referring the Central American

has gone out. It will be observed that e Clarendon
reiterates the statement that, so far was Sir Henry Bul-
wer from abandoning any portion of British territory or
British int,rests, that he made a, stringent provision,
which was acknowledged by Mr. Clayton, that the treaty
should not touch Honduras or affec • any of its depend
encies. It was only on Mr. Buchanan's arrival in Eng-
land, he says, that be heard for the first time that there
was an entirely new interpretation

The aspect of the two questions, which it was hoped were
in a fair train of settlement, looks anything but reassur
ing. We are fast drifting into that phase of diplomatic
co replications where a single false step would imme-
diately plunge us into war. And with this prospct

this pass by their foolish blundering and insane desire
