IMPORTANT ENGLISH DOCUMENT.-7he Bay
Islands.-The English papers publish the Queens
warrant for erecting the Island of Ruatan and GER
tain other islands in the Bay of Honduras
into q colony, under the name of Bay Islands" !"
1t is adocument of peculiar interest At present.
The whole is comprised in four folio pages, and in
twenty five paragraphs or clauses, with q pream-
BILE. The London Spectator gives the following
abstract oft
"The powers of government are entrusted to the
governor of Jamaica; whe is constituted Governor
of the Bay Islands Colony, and authorised to act
as sovereign, without any further instructions
from England, in making laws for the colony and
framing the financial estimates; to ALLEVIATE the
royal lands to private persons to present qualified
persons for ordination by the Bishop of Jamaica to
officiate in the churches chapels any other &C.
clesiastical benetces; to constitute and appoint
judges and officers of JUSTICE to suspend offices
commissioned by the crown itself; to pardon Of
fenders to give warrants for the custody of idiots,
lunatics and their estates and to delegate his au
of the Governor of Bay Islands Colony extends to
many governments of much more important set
Elements"
The Spectator proceeds to remark that the ere
alton of this colony seems to it to be incompati.
BILE with the obligations incurred by Great Bri-
tain under the Clayton. .Bulwer treaty. 1t further
adds:
There may be, Independently of technical
rights, reasons why we persevere in the protec.
ton of our subjects on the island of Ruatan and
Its small neighbors, in our protectorate OF the
Mosquito Indians. These reasons, we learn from
Lord Palmerston, are to be stated in the letter
which Lord Clarendon is to write for the United
States government after his return to England
1t would have been convenient if they had been
effectively stated at an earlier stage in the dispute
but they will be awaited with some interest now,
SINCE il the reasons convincing, it is possible
right In consideration of the merits of the question
II is upon the substantial merits, indeed, that the
question must eventually rest and Is pity that
we cannot escape from dispute as to the terms OF
the treaty to something like plain understanding
upon the points about which the officials on both
sides are disputing.'

THE TROOPS FOR CANADA.-Iu the British Par.
lament, on the 18th ult, Mr. Laing called atten-
ton to the newspaper reports that 10000 British
troops were to be sent to Canada. He asked for
explanation as to what was intended. When the
troops were withdrawn from Canada it was urged
that the colony could spare them, and it was bet.
ter for the army that it should be drrwn closer to-
gether. He wished to know whether or not 1t was
intended to DEPART from that principle, and if it
were intended to do SO, the present law was most
illchosen for the experiment. He could not inn
agine anything more mischievous, or. more calcu-
lated to prevent the relations of this country with
the United States becoming of more friendly
character, than anything which could be construc-
ted into threat.
Lord Palmerston, in reply said the newspapers,
as usual, had grossly exagg Grated the facts. The
force intended to be sent, something approach
ing 1000, and not destined for Canada alone, but
for all the North American provinces He was not
aware, even If 10000 men were going, that any
man in his senses, aware of the magnitude, the
population, the resources, the public spirit, the
warlike spirit of the United States will seriously
dream that with force of 10000 men any portion
of their territories is to be invaded In regard to
the report that Great Britain was about to land
0,O00 men in Costa Rica, Lord Pamerston said
if Mr.. Laing had seen that report in any quarter
whatever, he may rely upon it that it is entirely
without foundation. This seems to be explicit
enough, and sufficiently satifactory that the Eng.
lish government in its recent orders entertains
hostile intentions against the United States.
