MAGNETIC TELEGRAPH.
THE RECALL OF MIR. CHAMPION.

From Our own correspondent
WASHINGTON, May l8, 1856.
Lord ClarendOns answer was received yester.
day. 1t is dated April 80, and was sent to Mr..
Dallas, and by him communicated to our Govern.
ment. 1t occupies fifty pages Of diplomatic paper.
Its tone is more generally conclatory and guarded
than former dispatches. After reviewing the
whole case, he discredits our testimony against tho
Minister and Consuls, and prefers accepting the
statement of their own officials. On this ground,
with other new poists suggested, he declines com.
plying with the request of the American Govern
ment.
Our reply will be prepared Immediately, but may
require eight or ten days. the British replication
took three months. 1t will be a. brief as circum-
stances may allow, with no unnecessary discussion
of previous questions, and will conclude BY putting
passports at the disposal of Mr.. Champion.
Little doubt is entertained that the British Gov.
eminent will promptly retalate by giving Mr.. Dali
las his passports, thus leaving diplomatic inter.
course suspended, to be renewed only BY explana.
ton or friendly Intervention for amicsble adjust
ment, which may be easily accomplished. There
is no cause of war or grave embarrassment OF pa
cifc relations in this fact.
Mr.. Sartiges has eDdeavored, notwithstanding
the supposed hostility of the French Government,
to effect satisfactory arrangement His endeavors
are predicated on alleged apologies already made,
which are not regarded as sufficient.
We have no intelligence fromPanama concerning
he ARRAY, and nothing further than the published
counts. Misgivings are entertained Is to the
bility to protect railroad communications under
xisting arrangements.
The statement in The Star Of last night that Mr..
Champion had been officially notified Of the sus :.
pension of diplomatic intercourse by Mr.. Marcy
was entirely erroneous. No such notice has been
sent, and none is contemplated for the purpose sue
gested.
All the Foreign Legations have determined not
to recognize Padre Will socially or officially. Senior
MarcOletta now asserts his claim to the Bitish
Mission from Nicaragua, on the faith of former
commission from the deposed Governments, and It
is believed that he will be recognized. His pre-
test addressed to the dferent Legations, is not yet
completed It may be introduced in the Sensts
debate.
Mr.. Dubois is willing to testify in the homicide
case If his simple declaration Of facts witnessed
will satisfy both parties. The question Of oficla
aeicacy alone embarrasses his inclination, as he y
fearful of compromising his Government.
Mr.. Champion explains the issue Of veracity by
saying that Mr. Clayton called on him to examine
some old English Maps on which Ruatan and ia
maica were designated and colored in the same wsy'
whereupon Mr. Clayton admitted that both were
evidently British possessions. 1t 10 very clear how
the Misrepresentation might have occurred in that
instance, but the explanation does not cover the
points involved in Mr.. Crittenden's and Mr.. Fisns
corroboratfons. 1t is supposed now that he win
make publication.
