The Ultimatum Of England-Def1sncet TO Oar
Administration True Policy or the Ame-
rican and British People.

The Ultimatum of England Defiance 70 Oar
Administration True Policy or the Anne
rican and British People.
We have received reliable information by
the Atlantic that the British government re-
fuses to concede anything to our administrar
ton on the Central American dispute, but
agrees to refer the whole subject to an arbi-
TRAITOR, and submits to be bound absolutely
by ouch decision, the choice Of reference being
left to the United Statea Such is the ulti-
matum OF Lord Clarendon as communicated
in a late voluminous diplomatic note" to
our Minister Mr.. Dallas
On the enlistment difficulty, we are informed
that her Msjesty's government adheres firmly
to its position. Lord Clarendon says, that
having carefully examined the evidence on
both sides received from the United States,
her Msjesty's government has come to the con
clusion that the charges against Minister
Champion and the three alleged offending
Consuls are not substantiated, and their gov.
eminent, therefore, fatty refuses to recall
them.
Thus we perceive that on both these vexed
questions our administration has at length
received positive and definite answer; and
in each case General Cas- would doubtless
interpret this answer TO be: "Mr. President
Pierce, we cannot agree to your demands
This is our ultimatum. If it be war, come
| On" And Gen. Cass, In this inter probation of
the intent Of the Paimerston Ministry would
! probably be about half right. Unquestion-
ably, should Aessrs Pierce and Marcy stick to
the fighting point on the Monroe doctrine as our
law for Central America, great excitement
will be the first consequence both in England
and the United States. Should this war policy
be persisted in, for the sake Of buncombe or
bravery, many and serious Inconvenience will
be apt to follow to The vsst commercial and
financial relations existing between the two
countries but they will stop short Of war.
The end will be the expulsion Of the Palmer
fton ministry from power, through the pressure
Of the public mud of England upon the House
Of Commons, and new Cabinet for fresh ne
gotiations with the new administration Of 1857
at Washington.
The simple truth ia, that the Pslmers.on
ministry aud our Pierce and Marcy admins
tration have been playing the game Of brag-

j
following from that marvel Of diplomatic wis
dom, the Clayton and Bulwer treaty. The pub
lie has failed to discover what it MEANS and it is
getting daily more evident that the negotiators
themselves never had any clear idea on the
subject
The treaty, on its face recognises the Mos
quito protectorate, in the terms requiring
that neither Of the parties " ahall make use OF
any protection which it now affords or may
hereafter afford for' ouch and such purposes
Then, 60 far as British pretensions in Belize
are concerned, Mr.. Clayton, by an ez post facto
and secret protocol, has exempted Belize from
the legitimate operations Of the treaty.
Not satisfied with that, this wonderful nego-
tiator has done his best to confirm British pre-
tensions over the Bay Islands. Amongst the
papers relating to Central America, just pre-
sented to Parliament, is the following letter
from Mr.. Champion to the Earl of Claren-
dom
TExtract.l WASHINGTON, March 81, 1856.
1t win be within your rdships recollection that Mr.
Clayton informed by Sir Henry Bulwer before the
treaty " 1850 sgnsd that RoAtAn de aO and de
jye British persecution; aud Mr. Clayton has, various
considered Ruatan much British possession as Ja.
maica, or any other British West India island.
Now, by recognising the Mosquito Protecto-
rate, exempting Belize, and discarding Roatan
Mr.. Clayton has oontrived, so far as he il con-
cerned. to decide every question relating to
Central America against the United States and
in favor of Great Britain. Such is the lame
and impotent conc fusion of this gentleman
diplomacy.
But his exemption Of Belize, made after the
treaty was ratified, and after his functions as
negotia.or had ceased through the action of q
higher power, being eu post .facto, is without
value or force. II was, moreover, secret, and
beyond the knowledge of the treaty making
power.
And as for Mr.. Ciayton's statements or ad-
missions in respect to Roatan, made probably
after dinner, they are OF no more Importance
than these of Jones or Jenkins, and oannot
affect the treaty. That document must be in
terpreted PEI SC, and according to the fair i'm
port of it's language. What Mr. Clayton has
: said since that treaty went into the hasds of
the Senate, is not Of the least consequence, be-
yond showing how unfit he was for the post
which he then occupied.
There is no doubt that the alleged admis.
sions Of Nr. Clayton will figure conspicuously
in the discussion which must soon take place
in Parliament on the Central American ques-
