THE CENTRAL AMERICAN QUEsTIoS.--In the House
of Lords Monday evening, the earl Of Clarendon,
in reply to question by the earl of Egin said that
the letter signed E. Hammond was genuine docu-
nent, and that it arose from the following crcun-
stances !:
The agent Of the Costa Ricans in the country, and
some agents in the South American States had, ever
since the attack of on the government of
ragua appealed to the government Of this country to
assist them in defending themselves.
A great variety Of projects had been laid before Her
Majestys Government for the acceptance Of Protec
torate by this country, and giving them material as
sistance, To all those requests Her Majesty's Gov
eminent had invariably replied in the negative de-
caring that they would have nothing to do with the
troubles Of the States Of Central America; but at the
same time, the Government expressed itself extremely
sorry for the attack Nicaragua and the diplomatic
wants which followed which is especially regretted
because the property of British subjects had not only
been endangered, but actually sacrificed by Walker
therefore Her Majesty's Government would be very
glad II Walkers enterprises were not carried further
but they again and again said that with the affairs of
Central America they had determined to have nothing
whatever TO do and that all their action would be
the coast Of South America which would be adequate
for the protection Of British property.
Mr. " allinsteln, who made the application on be-
half Of Costa RIGA, was greatly disappointed at this
| answer and spoke Of the vast amount Of British
property there, which, he said ought to be defended
| by naval force. My i5 sf F9S Ss RI
Since Walker took possession Of Nicaragua he had
disposed Of good deal Of British property BY force
alone, and Her Majesty's Government had commnnca
ted with the Government of the United States in the
matter, and he would read an extract from dispatch
of Mr.. Champion on the question. There had beer
no disguise whatever with the q. S. Government
The object of the British Government avowedly had
been to protect British interests. On the 5th o.
March, Mr. Marcy said he entirely disapproved of tht
existing state of things in Nicaragua, and though
it likely to cast shadow upon the reputation of thu
. United States. He observed that he knew no bette
plan of proceeding than for the United States ant
the British Government to combine orthe protection
Of the citizens Of the United States and the subjects
Of Great Britain.
