A very important debate had taken place in the
British Parliament affecting American affairs
Lord Clarendon, in reply to Lord Elgin had ut
tered professions of friendship ards the United
States, notwithstanding. he said language had
been useG by men of high official station in Ameri.
tending to embroil the two countries. He ex-
press ly said that, the British Government could
not recall Mr.. Champion as it would be shabby and
dishonorable
He said, that if, as Lord Elgin had stated, five
minutes conversation between Mr. Marcy and
would willingly meet Mr.. Marcy midway in the
Atlantic.
The London Times says, 1.-THE State of Central
America, disordered and miserable as it has been
for some time, appears now to be becoming crti.
CAL at least if there is any foundation for the re-
port that the United States Government is about
to recognize Walker. Such an act would Justly
arouse the jealousy of our Government; for the
professed object of Walkers career and that which
gains him sympathy in the United States, is in
one word AnneLati0n."
The arrangements for the British deputation to
the Cars coronation, at Moscow, are now com

lea. The following extracts will show the con-
clusion to which it comes
The American question assumes month by
month with each interchange of communication
between the two Governments a more serious,
more anxious, more threatening aspect. The APP
prehensions of to-day become the certainties of
tomorrow and claims the existence of which
could never have been anticipated, are one by one
urged upon US. 1t really seems as if demands on
one side and concessions on the other had reached
their utmost limit; as if much had been conce.
ded in peace, that nothing was left to be grasped
by war as if America had obtained and England
yielded all that the most powerful country could
ask-all that the feeblest nation which retained
any of dignity and selfrespect could possibly
give up. We have wounded most unintentionally
the susceptibilities of America, by doing only
what we had right to do-that is, by establishing
recruiting station in our own colony the from
tier of the United States. The United States re-
monstrate against the proceeding; we desist from
it, and we apologize. The ground is shifted. We
are told that we have offended against the soye-
reign rights of the Republic. We disclam the in
tention. Then the recall of our Minister and Con.
suls is demanded, on the ground that they have
directly infringed American law. We reply that
the accusation rests on evidence utterly unworthy
of credit, but that if it be substantiated by
credible witnesses, we will not fail to punish the
delinquent officers.
Here the matter remains for the present; and
as far as we are concerned, VIC fear here it must

We are satisfied that no such accusation can be
proved, that the evidence on which it rests is ut.
tery worthless, and that the words If men of
honor and gentlemen, emphatically denying the
charge, infinitely outweigh the evidence of thou
sands of such witnesses as Hertz and Strobell it
would be objectionable meanuess and miserable
trucking, utterly unworthy of country which
processes to prize justice and honor above all
things and to submit to any sacrifice rather than
betray her servants or belle her convictions to re-
call her Minister or her Consus the dictaton of
a foreign Power. We have apologized for faults
committed We have temperately and fairly point
ed out the worthlessness of the proof of other
faults, the commission of which we deny, and for
which we can consequently offer no PREPARATION
This we have done, but can do no more. Lord
Elgin says that Mr.. Marcy and Lord Clarendon
could settle the matter in half an hour, and Mr..
Macaulay has just told US how the negotiations
which made so little progress at the Conference of
Ryswick, were despatched without difficulty by
Bentinck and Bouffiers under an apple tree. We
have tried diplomatic correspondence with indif.
ferent success, why should we not try If personal
intercourse will not succeed betterf
