GREAT BRITAIN AND THE L. STATEs.--AN I'M
PoRrANT MOVEMENT Some of the letter writers
state that at the close of the debate in the Senate
on the 10th inst, on the Central American qucs
ton, Mr.. Clayton dstn lily indicated the mode
by which that question will become a very i'm
portant and practical one at an early day. Hav-
ing vindcated the treaty itself, and shown that
it excluded Great Britain altogether from Cen
trail America. aud that her colony of the Bay Is
lands practical violation of the treaty, he
gave notice of his intention, unless the British
Government re consider the dispatches of Earl
Clarendon, sent TO the Senate few DAYS ago, to
introduce a bill placing at the disposal of the
President the military and naval force of the L.
States, To enable him to compel Great Britain to
fdlhl the stipulations of t. treaty. and pledging
the revenues of the L. States forihe expenses at
tending such action. This will present II case
that viii practically test the sincerity of the aid
v"cates, theoretically, of the Monroe doctrine.
And 1t brings the question under discussion also
to a direct issue, involving an abandonment by
Great Britain of her Bay Islands colony. which
MIR. Cass believes she never will give up. 1t
will be seen that the debate just closed was not
mere personal contest between two Senator's but
that,at least SO Tar Mr.. Clayton's remarks were
conc 'rne1 II was necessary to prepare he pub
lie mind for II g practical issue to which he, from
the first intended to bring this subject.-Bait
