The excitement on American affairs had subsi.
del, and expressions Of frictslly fcSlng aerc
frequent, and apparently sincen.
A London paper thus sums up the news Of
the week in regari to relations with the Uni.
ted States: -
Judging from the country newspapers most
OF which reach US AT the end OF the woek. W.
should say that the country is delighted with
the turn that the American question has Ia
ken; and il is surprising how much the public
have become enlightened on the subject by the
cheap pr-ss. almost every newspaper OF that
class having devoted itself TO rational expo
sitcn oi our American difficulties. The coun.
try n also pleased with the nomination of Mr.
Buchanan. hut il DOES not appear 10 understand
that Mr.. buchanan. in order To attain this hon
or. has set his face against the great movement
for the emancipation Of the slave,
The loalou Times Of the 2Sth says;
Amid the raging medley Of parties and in
tersts which the election Of an American
President calls forth VIC have only one object
To keep in view, and that is to procure the St-
tlcment Of our American disputes il w can,
before that election tahes place. Mr.. fierce's
great question was the Champion one, and
that having failed he has no interest now in
raising difficulties in the Central American

upon English loss and humiliation.
An article in the Times Of the 2lsi instant
headed Our Relations with the United States,
has attracted much attention II is known to
be- from the pen Of a person vcrsod in all thu
diplomatic bearings Of the subject, and iis oh
leci is 10 give clear exposition OF the Cen
trail American question in its two aspects
namely, frs, as il stood independently of The
treaty of 1880 known as the Clayton, iiulweI
treaty and secondly As il is modified by the
conditions OF tina, arrangement The closing
paragraph OF the article. is AZ follows;
Our simple aud straightforward course is
this To throw aside all past correspondence
and make u friendly proposal 10 the United
States, consistent with all We have hitherto
done and stated. but us consistent Us we can
make it with American interests.
To lie clear We should propose. first, TO
make the town now called GWytown, at the
mouth Of the River San Juan. n free and indie
pendent town, secondly. to assign legitimate
extent Of territory 10 the Mosquito indians
and place them equally under our protection
and that Of the United States; or, II the man.
ner in which the United States persist in view
ing Indians is not compatible with our own, let
the United States point out any other mode Of
duly protecting these Indians which does not
grant any exclusive rights or privileges to
Great Britain Thirdly, let US leave the real
condition and position Of the Bay Islands 10 ar
bitrators Fourthly. lct Us declare that we
do not extend our possessions IN British Hon
luras beyond their limits in 1850, and claim
from the United States recognition Of those
possessions rs they existed in 1850. A pro.
posnl Of this kind would probably terminate
the negotiations. u il did not. the United
States must desire a quarrel with us, and We
must brave ,ba, quarrel for i, would b. equal
