Looking Abroad foI News

The National Intelligencer states that il not
unfrequcntly happens that State secrets find their
way abroad before they are knownat home. Tho
air of probability given 10 the matters stated in
the suboined letters of the y !. Courcr's CORE
spondent, renders tlkely, tthinks Tint the writer
has indeed obtained his information from AN au-
thentc and authoritative source" The late Wis

can Legation at London is supposed to have been
connected with the CORE pondcnce referred to,
as well as with Cuban affairs.
WASHINGTON Aug..2i
learn from an authentic and authoritative
source that an important correspondence has TIA
ken place between Mr.. buchanan and ord Cha
rendou relative 10 the port Of san Juan and the
Mosquito protectorate. Mr.. Buchanan took car
y occasion, after entering on his mission, TO in
form the Secretary FIR Foreign Affairs. that this
Government desired 10 resume and bring to IA
conclusion all questions respecting Central A
merca which were pending, when Mr.. Everett
retired from III, state Department on the eth of
March, 1853. lie stated the views and cNpccta-
tons Of his Government at some length. Lord
Clarendon replied in statement embudyIug the
claims of Great Britain. and advancing on her
part pretensions which were supposed to have
been yielded by the Clss'#o and Bulwcr couvcn-
ton of 1850. Mr. Buehaaan reioncd with a couu-
versy from its commencement, ard stated with
convincing strength and argument, the position
and rights of the United States. He declared,
in explicit terms, thatth American Government
could not recognise any Indian claim to terrific
rial jurisdiction over any part of this continent,
and therefore could not admit the validity OF any
protectorGte or guaranty of such claims. This
communication is understood 10 comprise the Ill
timatum of our Government on the Central A

only the abandonment of the protcctorute over
the Mosquito coast, but the REIMBURSEMENT of
the settlement at the Belize and the discontinu.
ance of the colony of the Bay of Islands, ON the
coast of Honduras, as formed in 1852.
The rejonder To this significant State paper
has not been received, and probably none will be
given. Though on the side of the British Cabi-
net the correspondence appears 10 be conducted
by Lord Clarendon, 1t is undoubtedly managed
by Lord Palmerston the Home Secretary.
The despatch which elected Mr. BIS second
communication was, Ii now appears, the proNi-
mate cause of the bombardment and buping of
Greytown. The indispostion of the British
Government to meet the question, determined ours
TO act. and resolution was formed to smoke and
burn all forei gn protecting Powers out of Central
America. The destruction of Greytown was but
the beginning; and ii is expected that the same
extreme policy WILL within the ensuing six months
secure the evacuation of Blewfelds and Belize
England Is now engaged III CONNECT with Kus-
STA which absorbs most of her available power
and resources, but she disengaged from that
struggle, there can be no doubt that the acts and
intentions of this Government would be held
good cause of war. The mere professions of bel
lgerency INDUCED in by President Polk pending
the Oregon dispute produced preparations for
war on a gigantic scale, The positive acts Of
hostility committed by the present Administra-
,tion, and SO Enthusiastically ayowed by the present
official organ, must lead to important oonsepen-
ces
A few days since questioned the correctness
scribed above, but the information received to- day
leaves me no doubt of its accuracy.
