Fore.gn polsey Or me Administration.


The generally well-informed Washington cor
respondent Of the Journal of Commerce writes the
following letter on this interesting subject:
WAsHINGToN, April 28th
The Administration have adopted in conformity
with the principles OF the Inaugural Address new
line of policy towards foreign nations in regard to
the affairs of sthe American Continents" They
have determined to enforce the Monroe dotrne with
a vengeance extending it far beyond what has been
held to be the doctrine of Mr. Monroe by his modern
or contemporary interpreters.
1t may be believed but it is not, of course certain
that the policy of the present administration will
discountenance any treaty with any power Amer,
can or European, that may recognize the right OF
any European government to interfere with, either
in friendly or hostile manner, the concerns of Cen
trail America any other States of Central Ameri-
can affairs to which Great Britain shall be, with our
consent, party. There are to be no more partner
ships between and great Britain in the USE or in
the protection of any inter oceanic communication.
The Clayton Bulwer treaty is to be got rid of as
soon convenient, or in fact, possible. The joint
mediation proposed by Great Britain for the purpose
of reconciling the difficulties pending between the
Central American States is re- ected. The Envoy of
the United States to Central America is to be
charged with the duty of dissuading those States
! from any foreign alliances, and of encouraging
them to look to the United States alone for counsel
aid, and protection. In fine, an American CONT
mental policy is now distinctly to be declared and
enforced.
While MIR. Borland shall exhibit these views in
Central America, Mr.. Buchanan will enforce them
at St. Jamss's. This will be the boldest and most
important step ever taken by this government in re-
gard to its general international policy
/ While all alliances with foreign powers rs to this
continent, are to be summed entanglements with
them will be also necessarily avoided.
No treaty will be made that will recognize any
cooperation with Great Britain, any European
power in any inter-oceanc transit. But the Clay
-Bulwer treaty does provide that the United
States and Great Britain shall equally enjoy the
privileges of the Tehuantepec, Nicaragua, any
other inter oceanic transit which either of the two
parties shall to be opened. This treaty must
be annuled in order to for the United States
the exclusive control of any of these communica.
tons. But all joint protectorates Of such commu.
nications hereafter to be discountenanced by
the United States. The United States to act in
dependently of all other nations in all matters rea
tive to this Continent Such is believed to be the
policy adopted by Gen. Pierce, and his administra
ton.
