BRITISH Views OF CENTRAL AMERICAN AZ
reference made to Central Amerl-
can affairs in the British Parliament indicates
that the English ministry is disposed to meet
our government on the ground OF mutual con-
cession and moderation in the settlement of ques-
tions growing out of the movements OF Walker,
and will deepen the regret that the Administra
t;on has Numbered into an unfortunate and pre-
mature recognition of the flibuster government
of Nicaragua. American readers will also learn
with surprise that as late as the 9th OF March,
Mr.. Marcy stated to the British Minister at
Washington that she disapproyed of the state
fittings Tin Nicaragua and thought it would
cast a shade upon the reputation OF the United
States. and that he knew no better plan than
for the United States and British government to
combine for the protection of their Subjects
Unless this representation resulted from another
of those unaccountable Observation-Disclosures into
which Mr.. Champion had before fallen in repeat
ing the views of American statesmen, it appears
to US % be ir~reconcilably with the fact that in
scarcely more than q month afterwards he not
only overeame his disapprobation of the estate
of things" in Nicaragua, but actually acknowl-
edged those who were responsible for them as q
bona 6de government with whom we might
hold diplomatic relations without dishonor.-
Such self qualification and vacillation is not In
keeping with the usual s~tatesmanlike and con-
sentative course of Mr.. Marcy, and indicates
very clearly that in the course now adopted In
reference to Central American affairs his pru-
dent councils were overborne by the pressure
brought upon the President and to which he
yielded against his better judgement in view of
the approach of the nominating Convention at
Cincinnati. We fear that this course will have
the effect in England of attaching more impor
lance to the dismissal of Mr.. Champion than
properly belongs to it as an isolated act, and
that rebuffed at all points in their efforts to-
wards Cancellation the British government will
assume a position that may still further exagger-
ate the difficulties between the two countries.
