The Central American Question In England.


The American difficulties are, we are glad to see
gradually dwndling away. We always looked upon
tie Central American question a. the most formi-
cable Of them and even out OF that way Of escape
now presents ITSELF Our readers are aware that
The government Of the United States, constituting the
Clay ton-Bulwer treaty into renuu citation by both
parties OF all claims upon the Territory Of Central
America objects TO the colonization by US Tin 1851
Of the Bay Islands, and also to our occupation Of
tie island OF Ruatan. These islands, we may
observe, have been claimed by the English go
vernment as dependencies Of Belize, or British Hon.
ouias, to which latter territory the States do
dispute our title, but argue against its extension
to these Ba; Islands and Ruatan, es lying far too
distant. The States, consequently took a geogra
pbical view OF the matter; the English government
political view, and here were the seeds Of very
petty quarrel, which at any moment an American
statesman bard up for political capital might
blow into fame. With England the retention of
the Bay Islands colony is rather q point OF honor
than one Of profit; we have possessions enough in
every part Of the world without adding TO them.
The difficulty was how 10 abandon territory
formally erected into British colony, and upon
something very like menacei To help US to solve
this difficulty comes most OPPORTUNITY at this mo-
meDt an ambassador TO England from Honduras,
one Of the States Of Central America, claiming
these very Bay Islands and the Island Of Ruatan
dependencies OF that republic and Offering in case
they are given up to recognise all rights OF property
and interest which may have come into existence
during British occupation: and also Offering as
proof of the friendship of Honduras, to cede to
Great Britain, by treaty, right Of way through its
territory from sea TO sea- and TO make the ports on
each ocean, at the extmites Of the proposed route
tree ports.
Now, here Il a capital chance Of getting rid OF q
valueess territory, bringing rs its dover the pros
Feet OF war, In exchange for most valuable pri-
yilege-that Of quick transit for our commerce
from the Atlantic 70 the Pacific. Such a solution
Of tie Central American diff guilty, we cannot doubt,
Lord Palmerston win gladly avail himself Of. 1t
will save Lord Clarendon and Mr.. Dallas a world Of
trouble, and will remove fertile source Of jealousy
now existing between Eagland and the United
States.
