Important Question in our Foreign A fairs

SAYS:
Some important questions in relation to
our foreign affairs will be brought 10 n crisis
this week, and even within two or three DAYS.
The question which has arisen concerning
the right Of foreign governments to enlist
troops in this country for the prosecution of
their wars against each other, is to be decided
or rather it is to be answered, for it is already
decided. British agents who have been CON.
cerned in the violation of our neutrality by
enlisting or gathering troops in this country
will be held to account for snch acts
Another more serious question is to be
brought Immediately to nm ssnc-and, it is
to be hoped in satisfactory and amicablc
mnnner-the long pending dispute between
the United States and British Governments
relative to the nretcnsions Of the latter power
in Central America. presume that the main
point in dispute is the claim of the British
Government to the important island of Rua-
tan pronounced Rattan) in the Bay of Hon.
duras. The Mosquito and Ruatan questions
have puzzled our negotiators for some four
years, and have been the particular subject of
Mr.. Buchanan's mission to England which ia
now about to come to close.
