The responsibilities of power tend generally cautious

are particularly pledged 10 redeem the country, without
law from the alleged deunur resulting the mOrous-

The speech nf Mason to-day was chiefly confined 10 a
reply Mr. Clayton upon The single point heretofore made
by MI Mason tnat the Buzr within the jurisdiction
Guatemala II So British Honduras is in Central America,
over which Great Britain has her treaty abandoned any
jurisdiction. Besides the extensions OF her precnsion from

and our future peace and safety.
Tho possession of the Buy Islands is also another Of
open aggression and have received advice of fresh
aggression in the same quarter Mr. Mason closed his
