The Central Amnrican Question offer TO
Arbiirate- Curious Omission fthe British Min

WASHINGTON, Feb %. 1856.
A new and extraordinary chapter i'll the di plo-
macy upon the Central American question has
opened. Last evening Mr.. Champion address
n ha>ty note to Mr.. Marcy, enclosing "A letter
from Lord Clarendon to the British Minister, da
ted so long ago as last autumn, in which Lord
Clarendon loosely rectes n conversation be-
tween himself and Mr.. Buchanan, on tho
svhiect of referring the Central American
difficulty to third Power for arbitration. He
requests Mr.. Champion to communicate his let
ter to the American government.
Mr.. Champions apology to MIR. Marcy for net
having done before L., that she overlooked the
concluding paragraph containing TINT request.
He now sends the original letter. without stop
ping to make copy, and requests that it may
be copied and returned to him. He seems all at
once Ia have got into n great hurry acout the
business. The letter of Lord Clarendon can
hardly he called downright offer to submit the
IN liter to arbitration. Il might more properly be

government on the subject.
Mr.. Buchanan recently made specific and
emphatic demand upon Lord Clarendon as to
what he meant by his declaration in Parliament
that he had recently renewed his offer to submit
the Central American difficulty to the arbtra-
ton of third Power. He told Lord Clarendon
that nothing was known of such an offer in Lon
drn. Lord Clarendon at first talked about his
previous conversation on the subject with Mr.
Buchanan. These conversations had been OF n
suggestive, discursiye aud rather jacuar charac
ter. and did not embrace any proposition winch
Mr. Buchanan had IA right to consider definite
and serious. After referring for some time, how
ever. to these previous talks" Lord Clarendon
told Mr.. Buchahan that he had written to Mr.
CHAMPION renewing the offer that Mr.. Cramp-
ton had communicated his views TO Mr., Marcy,
and that Mr.. Marcy had replied that the subject
was in the hanGs of Mr.. Buchanan.
Now, you will note that, 50 far from this be-
ing true, Mr.. Champion had made no communi
cation on the subject to Mr.. Marcy prior T." yes
terday, and that it may be deemed an exaggera-
ton to call Lord Clarendons letter which he
then sent an offer to arbtrate.
have already eonrad;cted the report that
there had been a personal quarrel between Lord
Clarendon and Mr. Buchanan; hut you may
easily infer from what have stated above. that
a most spirited conversation ON public affairs
took place between them. If you add to this the
Inference that Lord Clarendon became very pet
fish. and that Mr. Buchanan was quite positive
and dgn1fed. both in language and manner you
will have nearly the whole story.
The letter of Clarendon. communicated by Mr.
Champion yesterday, will probably be transmit
ted to the Senate tomorrow, in compliance with
the resolution adopted to-day.
