a the only treaty designation, for the British
settlement on the bay of Honduras, It is
hundreds Of miles distant from any part of
Honduras. It was agreed between Mr.. Clay

not to be treated As part Of Central America.
It Was expressly stipulated in the Clayton

The sending or having consular agent at The
Belize has no more to do with the MOSQUITO
