An Important DsaHSastration.-An Unhoiy Alliance

An Important D.A~Snstrauon-An Unhoiy Alliance
Proposed.
A correspondent OF the New York Tribune writing
from Washington under date OF June Ia makes the fol-
loving snDouncement which is very important II
. The Secretary Of State proposes into
oat with Eogsnd and France ot the security
safety webeng, and entire Independence OF all the Cen
nal American States and their territories providing o
domestic quiet Tor the adjustment OF those inter State
questions which often disturb their tranquility inducing
~als and appeals to foreign powers and of Tree and un
uammeled action win reference 70 any line OF eommnni
world TO have constructed between the two oceans
Ii has always been the policy OF our government since
the administration of Washington 10 avoid all enlangng
alliances with foreign governments and we cannot
believe Notwithstanding the positive and seemingly
hentc announcement OF the Tribunes correspondent,
that Mr. Fillmore administration would presume take
the responsibility. unadyised by any other branch of The
government OF entering INTO important arrange
ment as that OF forming alliance with France and
England and assuming the joint proecorale oil the Central
American States. Our government has protested most
energecay against the right OF any monarchical Eu-
ropean government to interfere in any respect with the
governmental policy OF any independent government
this continent or lis ad accent territory.
Ii. from the unhappy state OF affairs in Central Amer
ca-it, from their constant political connexions and
civil brols and the preponderance OF the anarchca
spirit they are unable TO preserve proper equilibrium,
to maintain good order and government let them
apply TO our government Gas we believe some of them
have already done Tor aid and assistance, and shall
be able, and we doubt not willing, 10 render them the
needed support, but without forming any unhoy alliance
with European powers for that purpose.
England, especially is always too willing and too
ready 10 NEEDLE with the affairs OF foreign governments,
and to extend lis protecting care those whom it
has, in too many instances, been the Of dstractng
and dividing by its nsdous ntrgues and its ofcous
termeddng lis protection has usually been like that of
the vulure 10 The dove the lion over the lambs and
so eagerly does she watch the movement OF affairs on
this continent that she is standing with outselched
arms ready TO extend her benign, patronizng aid and
her "proteclorate' support TO South Carolina, or any
other of the members of this wicked republic" which
its emssaes may succeed in seducing from their allie
glance TO The compact OF the Union And shall then
form copartnership-an unholy league with such a
government, under the petence OF protecting sister
public!
England if not France has yet another object of para
mount importance in getting ioothold controlling in
fuence in the affairs OF Central America. She has looked
with jealousy and eager envy upon the prospect that
government TO have the controlling direction and
advantages OF the line OF communication between the
two oceans, through the Central American territory From
the moment that England first discovered tina, gov
eminent had secured the rights and privileges OF such
communication, that willy power has been upon the qu
and upon the rack even and determined leave
effort untfed to thwart success, they could
complIsh more, to share with the advantages OF
such an important channel OF communication. And il
would seem, ii the announcement of the Tribunes cor
resi- ondence be correct that England is about
IN her ambitious purposes Tor appears from the revela
ton oil this wrier that OF The prime objects of this
triple alliance is to ree and unramueed ac-
ton with reference TO any line OF communication which
Il might be for the interest OF the commercial world to
have constructed between the two oceans"
We had supposed that all the "iree and untrammeed
action with reference to that line of communications
which was needed by our government, had when we
obtained by treaty all the rights and privileges we
CURED in that direction. II England or France do no
Ike hat bargain. and think we have the best OF it, is
that reason why we should throw up our hand and &C
Tor another deal Just TO accommodate the avacous de
signs of commercial rivalsi This is too absurd and
we repeat we cannot believe that Mr. Webster or Mr.
Fillmore have been so short sighted and the
county as TO yield the advantages already possessed
by entering into any foreign alliance for new division
OF those advantages.
