IN B-The right, Of no Central American Sssics

Now the English prete1t is that the Bay
Islands were included in the above exceptions,
very properly pade by Mr. Clayton, of British
Honduras, or Belize. and its dependencies,
Wick We declared not be subject TO the seton
Of the treaty But, as we have shown above,
they were never apart Of Belize, but were de-
Tendencies first of the Spanish provinces Of
Central America, and then Of the Republic OF
Honduras. and so solemnly recognized by lag
land herself without interruption from lSli to
1S4l. But 10 leave no doubt on the subject
we copy here the clauses of the last treaty be-
tween Spain and England defining what is the
tendencies

Here then we have the only grounds in
which the English now hold Belize and we
have also demonstrates
]. That they have no claim to the Bay of
Islands, but that robbery committed on a
friendly, but delcnceless power in time of
peace.
,. That it cannot be pretended that these
islands belong or ever belonged to British
Honduras, because they are not included in
the grant of the Treaty, and moreover, be-
cause they were always attached to the Spanish
provinces Of Central America, aud afterward
TO the Republic Of Honduras.
3. That they are not in any manner compre.
hended in the exceptions to the action Of tie
Treaty referred to in the above note and
memorandum Of Mr.. Clayton.
4. That their erection into British Colony
is an open and reckless violation of the Clay
ton end Dulwer Treaty.
But We are weary of this eternal denial
of the meaning and scope OF treaty and these
repeated and continued infractOns Of il BY
one party on Pettifogging pretences aud tricks
Of Interpretation. Let il be terminated and one
made which cannot be misunderstood or evaded
by any diplomatic jugglery
