IMPORTANT TREATY wlrH ENGLAN D
The Washington correspondent Of the Bal
umore Sun, 4. neutral- Democratic paper, gives
.the outlines Of a treaty which he says was
concluded on the 2Oth ult. and signed by Sec
rotary Clayton and Sir Henry Bulwer on De-
half Of their respective Governments. Inc
same writer remarks that the result OF the me-
potfauuus are regard ed with unqualified favor
by both parties in Congress, and thai the la
bors and craftsmanship Of the Sec'ry OF State
are the theme Of unmixed Commentator -
This might well be the case even 1t the
treaty were not nearly so favorable as II is
proven to be by the following stipulations;
1t secures, first, beyond peradvehtuFe' the
construction ola slhp csnalconnectngth the Two
oceans. Great Britain guarantees protection
and neutrality jointly with the United States
Both nations will cO-operatein the cOnstruc-
lion of a work worthy OF their united efforts
"a work which will doubtless do more to en-
rich our than any enterprise ever
completed since the formation Of the GOveFn>
ment. , tn
All nations who use the canal will be re-
quired to pay equal tolls and to unite ln'the
guaranty of protection one against the other
Great Britain pledges her protection Tor
any route or connection between the two
oceans, which may hereafter be obtained by

plish this object in regard to Panama, but it
failed inthe effort
Besides these sipulations, which are OF IN
calculable importance to this country, our
readers will be pleased to learn that the trea-

THAT NJ foreign power shall %colNnize and set

1t is specially stipulated that Great Britain
shall have no jurisdiction, of any kind or ma
ture whatsoever in anypart Of Central Ameri'
ca or on the Mosquito coast THE privileges
claimed under the protectorate in that region
must therefore, be abandoned. The whole
Central America is completely rescued from
British thraldom; and the States to whose ap-
p~lication for this service the last Administra-
ton turned a deaf ears, are now bound to thu
Government, by the tie of gratitude as well al
by those Of proximity and interest.
Such are said to be some Of the proml
nent features OF a treaty which has engag
ed 1.-The attention Of this Administrator
ever since it came into power, and which
will cut off thousands OF miles Of dangerous
navigation between US and our Pacific pos
sessions, thus adding strength to the bonds By
which we hold them and giving then
a new and more exhaustless wealth
than all the gold in their mines. This shOrte'
ming of distances without the necessity o
traHshipment will bring the Eastern trade o
the world through our te% rritory, and Great,
a more marked epoch in the history OF com
merce than it has ever before known.
This treaty has been negotiated by the Ad
ministration in the midst of s%enseless jeer
and upbradings Of an INSCRIPTIONS opposition
who, we hope, have at least patriotism enougl
not to regret a consummation so glorious merel,
because they had too little sense or to omucI
prejudice to acknowledge the propriety of til
progressive maans by which it has been effec
