The Central American Question.

The London Star of April 7th, has well
written article on the subject of our difficult
ties growing out of the Central American
question. After enumerating the number of
ships employed by each Government in COM
merce, with their relative tonnage, &C. con-
cludes as follows:
In lSl2-I4, the Americans had about L.
100000 tons Of shipping now they have
got upwards of 100000 tons, or rather
more than we have, and their ships are known
to be among the finest in the world. The
total population of the United States was
then about 100000 it is now 25.000.000.
Then they gave us great deal of trouble.
We might, perhaps. as some idle people a
mongst us boast, now sweep their commerce
from the seas but they, in return would
sweep ours. A large portion of the great
mercantile marine of the two countries, no
longer employed in supplying their mutual
wants would be converted into Instruments
of mutual destruction. There would be a
maratime war in every sea- Our West In
dia Colonies dependant, in great meas
ure, for food and lumber on the States,
would be exposed to great privatons and to
great deprecations, and might take it into
consideration whether they would not de-
clare themselves q neutral State Our own
coasts would tempt numerous attacks, and
we should ourselves suffer, as we have not
suffered for many centuries, the horrors of
partial invasion and actual warfare.
Nav G. cd forbid that the lnnUuarp of any
politicians, or of any portion of the press of
England, should ever bring about civil
war between two nations so circumstanced.
