CRY Reform AND THE COMMON CoUNCIL-
What has become of all the tremendous guam
tity of reform which has been predicted during
the year past of the present Common Council !
All gone-all exploded-all evaporated before
the termination of the first week Of their official
existence; nothing but quarrels. nothing but
splits, broils, and wrangling. A sad and sorry
prospect is before the good city of New York
for the cleaning Of her streets, the prevention
of rowdyism, the efficiency Of her police, and
the remedying of the thousand other evils from
which we have been suffering for some time
past.

WAR WITH ENGLAND, FRANCE AND SPAIN
This great event has begun. M. Soule, senior,
has opened his batteries upon the Marquis Of
Turgot, the French Minister, backed by Lord
Howden the British Minister, and Soule, junior,
has followed with cannonade upon the Duke
of Alba, one of the grandees of SPAIN and
brother-in-law Of the Empress of the French.
No damage has yet been done-but the HOSTILE
ties have commemorative cause Of the fright
ful encounters springs from lady. We ad-
mre the spunk displayed by both the Soules,
and will back them to the full extent of one
American fire-eater. The particulars Of the
duels have not yet been received; we aaall
soon have them, and they will be important.
We did not like the appointment of Soule, but
he has shown SO much spirit in defending the
cause of lady that we are led to say that he
deserves immediate confirmation by the Senate
for his conduct in this matter.

The ADMINISTRATION AND GENERAL ScoTT.-
The organ of the administration at Washington
has come out in opposition to the passage of the
law which provides for the creation of the rank
of Lieutenant-General, with q view to the con-
ferring Of that title upon Gen. Scott. We have
seen nothing so utterly mean and contemplate
as this action ofthe Cabinet and its organ against
the proposed increase in the nominal rank Of
General Scott in his old age. We are persuaded
that. at no period from the Declaration Of indie
pendence down to the present time, no Presi-
dent and no Cabinet could ever have bemeaned
themselves by pursuing such course. We
have something more to say upon this subject
before we have DONE

ought to occupy, was Mr.. Squiers, who was re-
moved by Mr.. Clayton. probably because he did
see the true bearings Of the dispute, and reso-
lutely set himself to counteract the intrigues Of
Chatfeld, the British agent With this single
exception, all our statesmen, as well demo-
cratic as wbig have been 80 busy in portioning
out the public plumber and satisfying greedy
concentrates, that they havesnever had time or
inclination to study the Central American
problem. The consequence has been that the
duplieity Of Chatield and the intrigues of Bull
wer have been perfectly successful, and that
ever since the execution of the Clayton treaty
the British influence in Central America has
steadily progressed, and her agents have lost
no opportunity of strengthening their position
and consolidating their power
Precisely similar reasons to those which first
directed our attention to Central America now
give it peculiar Importance in the eyes Of Great
Britain. We thought little of it before the an
nexation of California and the discoveries of
gold indicated the necessity Of our securing
free and safe inter-oceanic routes of travel Since
then Australian gold has materially altered the
views Of England. She has now as lively an
interest in securing right Of way across the
Isthmus as we have. Hence her determined
rivalry with us for the privilege and the i'm
munities flowing therefrom. Had Mr.. Clayton
been q man of equal diplomatic skill to Sir
Henry Bulwer the matter would have been
settled long ago. He was not; and his intel
lectual deficiencies were aggravated by mental
prescriptions which entirely prevented his
giving to the negotiation the study it deserved.
In one word, at the time the treaty was made,
Mr. Clayton, like Mr.. Marcy now, was too busy
in dividing the spoils and fighting down the
opposition of the HERALD, to think seriously of
the abiding interests Of the country. He was
too deeply concerned in defending his admins
tration from the assaults of public opinion to
attend to inter-oceanic routes and privileges
We regret to say that we anticipate no better
fortune from the hands Of the present Cabinet.
Mr. Marcy has neither the talent nor the dis
position to plunge into the labyrinth and un-
ravel the tangled web Of Central American
diplomacy. His DEBUT in foreign policy was
pettifogging plagiarism from Daniel Webster;
and he had not even courage and consistency
enough to maintain the doctrines Of the Koszta
letter for three consecutive months. 1t is doubt
full, in fac, whether we ever had so ignorant and
so incapable a Secretary as this same Mr..
Marcy. During the whole course of long po-
litical life he has never evinced an aptitude for
nythiDg higher than apportioning spoils or
healing dissensions in his party in this State, at
a sacrifice of principles, or lobbying for claims,
patents, and other fss sources of profit in Wash
ington. To expect from such man settle
ment of the Central American difficulty would
be simply absurd.

British and American Diplomacy In Centrs
American Affairs.

British and American Diplomacy In Central
American Affairs.
The recent debate in the Senate has once
more drawn public attention to the subject OF
the Clay ton-Bulwer treaty. At the time that
document was first made public the organs Of
the government claimed for Mr.. Clayton a very
high degree of credit for the astute diplomacy
it displayed on his part, and complacently voted
themselves public thanks for having, as they
said, extinguished the English protectorate in
Central America. Those Of our readers who
can recollect events so far back, will remember
how perseveringly we combated this impress
sion. We declared our conviction, at the
time the treaty made its appearance, that Mr..
Clayton had been duped, and that Bulwer
had contrived to convey into the document
q double meaning, Of which Great Britain
would not fail to take advantage. There
were many at that time who ascribed the tenor
of cur comments on the treaty to personal
malice and reckless animosty to the govern
ment, just as, at the present time, scores ofpco-
pie believe that our opposition to General
Pierce arises from personal disappointment or
other disoreditable causes. Then, as now, how
ever, we withstood the invectives Of the govern
ment organs, and resolutely persisted in pro-
Douncing the treaty to be fallacy and snare
from beginning to end. The publication Of the
correspondence between Lord Clarendon and
Mr. Marcy shows that we were right Through
out the negotiation, Sir Henry Bulwer hood
winked his antagonist and despite all the asser.
tions of the Taylor organs Of that day, It is now
clear that the whole question will need to be re.
discussed, and the battle with British diplomacy
fought over again.
A singular thing it is, in truth, to see how
completely the Tag lor administration and every
subsequent Cabinet have been duped in relation
to Central American affairs. Not one Of ouI
Secretaries since 1s49 appears to have had the
slightest glimmering Of light on the subject
The only man who seems TO have understood
the question, and to have assumed the ground
