GTSome Of our Ecastern exchanges are
publishing a curious diplomatic letter, pur|
porting to Lave been written by the British
Minister at Washington, Sir Henry BuLwER,.
to Mr. CHAIFIELD, Of Tlgre Island notoriciy.
1t first appeared in the Nicaragua correspon-
dence of the New York Herald, which says
Il was taken from a courier in Costa Rica
during some political CONFUSION there before
ii was delivered to CmATFIELD. The letter
is far from being complimentary to Gen.
Taylor's Administration. Sir HENRy says it
was written merely to give Mr.. CHATFrELD
some private hints. In speaking Of the ex-
listing Government at Washington he says:
at is, ho owever, a weGk Government, and, be-
ing suspected by the popular party is even
afraid OF seeming in favor ofany policy TINT
is unpopular. Thus, though It's intantioas nIoy
be trusted. its course cannot be relied on. "
The Administration, according TO the Brit
sh Miuester, safraid of offending popular or
Democratic party! The letter is curious
one for a diplomaist to write, but il wns
intended for Mr.. CnATFIELD alone, and not
sfhe rest OF mankind" We may publish it

has proposed.

sion from her jurisdiction Of ali'New Mexico,
with the grant 10 Texas OF pectniary equiv

5. More e(feciual enactments oflaw TO sc
cure the prompt delivery of persons bound 10

We cannot say that we have been in favor Of

would rather have seen separate the adms-

sive Of crime. The assertion is made in ref.

the assertion. establishes basis for his con

the fact may he. He goes back 10 The crim>
inal records Of time when single bible,
chained tc pillar of a church, sufficed for n
whole parish, and when English barons, un-
able to wriIe their names, made The sign of
the cross on their documents, and taking the
population of that period, he finds il less
criminal, in proportion to numbers, than in
lS4S, when books, schools, &c, were within
every mans reach. He goes even further,
sd admits modern police arrangements
