TALLAHAssE, Nov. 30, 1855.
Our attention has recently been directed 10 affairs
in Central America by several important considera-
tions.
by the last European steamers, information has
come TO this country OF the fast that England IA
preparing u send quite formidable marine service
III the Gull, and for what purpose she has not yet
openly declared. IL Is apparent, however tina, the
avowed object of that aggressive government Is 30
regulate affairs In and about Nicaragua A.fcw
years since, and the Clayton-ulwer treaty passed
the Congress of the United States. it, chief provi.
sion was, to affirm the doctrine OF nonintevention,
or u stlpulate that European powers should not
lonize or otherwise interfere with the course Of az
| iaiIs on the North American continent The sub
Ject OF non Intervention was elaborltcly ably and
openly discussed in Congress, and no principle OF
government IL, at present, more deeply and tho
roughly txed IN the popular mind than this-that
England shall not interfere with affairs this con-
tinent This doctrine evidently limits the unjust and
aggressive policy which has 80 long characterized
John Bull IN his grasp at universal empire The
Clayton treaty, containing such provisions was sent
10 England and late advces inform us tina, that
power has refused its ratification thereby virtually
declaring that they will COLOMBO on this continent in
spite Of our wishes and reDonstrances 10 the
trary. And, besides. the movements Of Kinney and
Walker their great success, and the probabilities
that in few years the governments formed by these
men viii root out British authority over every pOr
ton OF Central America, and ultimately become
States of this Union awaken the jealousy and ami
mostly OF the English government, and threaten TO
destroy It's protectorate over the Transit Company
and the Mosquito Territory. England has always
looked TO self and IL ready 30 extend her do
minions in any way, and to guard her own CONNER
ciol interest at the risk of honor and Justice.
With these facts before us can any one doubt the
intention Of England In sending feet to cruise
around the Gulf and Central America IL In APP
parent that her object Is TO defeat the intentions of
Walker and kinney--fepudiate the Monroe doctrine
by the cannon s thunder and assert and acquire
or By national system Of " blufing,n which she
has lately reduced to a science. Shall We bascly
submit?
But our attention has been more particularly
directed to this question from reading the fol-
lowing circular, which we find floating about in
city

Ia connection with this circular n very important
consideration arises 10 the position this country
will take the question OF intervention. that
the Clayton and Buwer treaty has been rejected by
the English government; for, II this country does
not stll cling to its former avowed doctrines this
subject aud Congress ut its next session does not re-
assert it, ccicbrated Monroe Doctrine the emgrants

case, yet the settlement IN Central America rs far
