WASHINGTON, Nov. Is.
The treaty with Great Britain arrived two weeks
ego. It settles ell questions heretofore existing
relative TO Central America, and all other subjects
of dispute between the British and American Gov
ernments executing the claims by the Hudson's
Rav and Puget's Sound Agricultural companies,
relative TO alleged rights under the Treaty of 1916.
Under the Treaty negotiated by Mr.. Dallas, the
MOSQUITO coast from the lines OF Honduras to the
Southern arm OF the San Juan river, and including
the port and town of San Juan, is recognized to be-
long to Nicaragua The British protectorAte over
the Indians is dropped, but with understanding
that the good offices of both Governments shall be
used to secure for them equivalent protecterate
from the Government of Nicaragua. The Indians
are to be provided for with the consent OF Nlcara
qua by a small annuity proceeding from the duties
collected at San Juan. There are very few of
these wretched beings who are'rapidly disappears
ing under the effects Of disease and general degra
daton.
The treaty brings to a consummation the policy
of eyacualing Central America on the part Of
Great Britain, commenced by the Clayton and Bull
wer treaty. / have never neglected suitable op
portunity to declare my conviction that the con-
duct of Great Britain throughout this dispute has
been Just, generous, and highstoned. There were
grave doubts attaching to the construction Of the
treaty of 1850, which have been settled after fair
discussion. Great Britain had undoubtedly incurr
ed certain obligations towards the Mosquito lndi-
ans, which, as a high"mnded and honorable
ton, she could not abandon. For any sudden ex~
cesses growing out of the pardonable zeal of her
officers and agents, she has promptly apologized,
as in the case of the seizure and temporary deten-
ton of the PrOmethets.
The American Government has entered upon an
important negotiation with New Granada. Our re-
latons with that Republic are precarious and un-
Satisfactory. The treaty Of 1885, negotiated under
the dctation Of the President elect imposes upon
New Granada obligations which she is not able to
fulfil, aud upon us responsibilities of most unu-
sua character. Our government guaranteed the
possession of the Isthmus to the Republic under all
contingencies, while upon its part the safety and
dispatch of the American rnails we're stipuaie }.
This latter engagement involves a great deal of
expense and embarrassment. II renders necessa-
rs the maintenance of police force for the sole
advantage of this country, which is entirely be-
yond the means of the slaughtered government OF
Granada.
In view of these facts, and Of the enormous de-
pendent interests, our government proposes TO ob"
tain an absolute cessiOn Of strip of territory
which shall embrace the whole Of the route Of the
railroad, together with the port of Aspinwal
this side and a terminus GU the Paci6c.--N Y.

state Affairs.

Some OF the Washington correspondents OF North
ern journals are rather dissatisfied at the allege
unusual reserve assumed just now by our Executive
Departments as to the contents of their forhcomS
ing annual reports, aud give this as q reason why
nothing can vet be stated touching the character
OF the Presidents Message or the recommendations
contemplated by the Secretaries. We are glad,
however, to learn one thing from the very intelli,
gent correspondent of the Times, and that is, that
the reported removal of our estimabe Consul
General for the British North American Provinces,
Israel D. Andrews, Esq, is unfounded.
. From another veteran correspondent, notwith
standing the coseness Of the Departments, we have
some hints Of the nature Of the new treaty report
ed to have been negotiated by Mr.. Dallas with the
British Government. The writer says: "a nego-
tiAtion has been carried on between Mr. Dallas and
Lord Clarendon in relation to the disputed Central
American question, aud brought nearly TO a salts
factory conclusion. In regard TO the terms of this
arrangement, can state positively that they are
not known to the public, aud viii not be made
known before the Presidents next annual message
shall appear. Indeed it appears thatthe terms are
not yet definitely settled in regard to the Mosquito
ProtectOrate, but probably soon will be. Ii is only
certain that the Bay Islands question is settled by
their retrocessiOn 10 the State OF Honduras | am
quite certain, also, that the proposed settlement
will not involve an abrOgation OF the Clayton Bull
wer treaty, but WILL on the contrary, so explain
define, and modify il as to cause il 20 work we'll
hereafter and fulfil the original intention and wish"
es OF The distinguished diplomaiists who nego,aS
ted t. Il is a subject Of regret that Mr. Clay tons
life was not spared to permit him to witness the
cOnsummation OF a work upon which be had be-
slowed 20 much care, and which had caused him

Kansas as Free State.
Prom them. Y Courier and Enquirer, Nov. H.
At an early period Of the canvass, it became
apparent to the Democratic Party North and
South, that if Mr.. Bdchanan's friends did not
repudiate the principles of the Cincinnati Con-
veEtion 10 relation to the extension of slavery
into the Free Territories of the Union, he
would lose every Northern State. Consulta-
ton was therefore had, among the leaders of
both sections of the country; and the result
was. determination to claim throughout the
North, that Mr.. Buchanan is opposed to'slave-
ry extension and to the admission of Kansas
into the Union as a Slave State. In conformity
with this determination, every public speaker
on the part of the Democracy, in the States of
New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Indiana and Hi
nois, declared most solemnly from the stump,
that Mr.. Buchanan is opposed to slavery ex-
tension and to the admission of Kansas as a
Slave State; aud il was these declarations, con-
firmed by Democratic banners everywhere,
bearing the inscription "JameS Buchanan, free
Kansas and free soil" that the States named,
were carried tor the Democratic Candidate
This fact is conceded on all hands; and 1t Is
especially insisted on by the Northern Demo
cratic leaders, that they acted with the sane
ton and full concurrence Of the South, who
plainly discovered that without resort being
had to such a course, their defeat was certain.
1t is further said, that now Mr.. Buchanan has
been elected, the Southern Democracy deny
that they have sanctioned this departure from
the Cincinnati Platform; but both Mr.. Buch-
anan and his friends insist that the election
could not have been secured by this abandon
ment of the slavery extension plank of his
platform; and that thereby, he is fully cOmprO-
n1itted, Nth the tdcit consent Of the South, to
the admission Of Kansas as Free State.
We do not vouch for the truth of these
statements; but they come to US in shape
which commands our belief in their accuracy.
If true, Mr.. Buchanan will enter upon the
discharge of his duties as President, untram-
melled by the most odious and disgraceiul fea'
ture of the Cincinnati Platform, and at full
liberty to act as q free agent, except that he is
pledged to the admission of Kansas as free
State-that being the only condition npon
which he received the votes of Neao Jersey,
Pennsylvania, Indiana, and Illinois, which
elected him to the Presidency. How far the
South will be able to persuade or bully him into
the adoption of their principles, remains to be
seen; but once released from his unfortunate
pledge to the Cincinnati Convention, the NOR
al effect of the great uprising of the people in
the Free States, will not be without its infiu-
ence in supporting an honest Executive in the
discharge of all his duties to the great prlncl-
ples of our Government.
