used the following language in the Senate "In the
whole history Of diplomacy, Of the most ortuous di
plomacy there is no chapter like that which recounts
the conduct of Great Britain with respect to this
identical treaty. There is none in which an inter-
probation 80 papably contrary to the plain meaning
Of the phraseology employed was ever so pertina-
ciousy urged by nation to get rid of its engage
ments with another"
Mr.. Clayton, who assisted in making the treaty
said: SIT is wonderful that nation 30 enlightened
and Of such standing in the world the people Of
Great Britain should have consented to permit any
Ministry to stand in controversy on such points as
these. do not believe the British people understand
their position. / do not know that Lord Palmerston
has heretofore carried things there with high hand
but think that, when the British people do under
stand that they to be degraded and disgraced by
such miserable qui5bling and equivocating as this
they will turn their backs on Lord Palmerston and
his Cabinet and any other set of men that have such
an estimate Of what is due to British honor. do
not believe Englishmen have sunk 30 low. Depend
upon it, sir, there is some misunderstanding among
Englishmen on this subject. 1t is impossible that
the people of England can comprehend it. IF they
do, they will not suffer such miserable special plead
ing to dishonor them and force us at last into an
open war with them"
Col. PARKER H. FRENCH, the new minister from
Nicaragua, seems to be creating quite sensation in
Washington. letter-writer speaks of him and his
mission in these terms:- - :,
Col. French is becoming very popular. rsaw him
on the floor of the House Of Representatives. con-
versing with distinguished member from Ohio
Every body struck with the modesty Of his demean-
or and the peculiar FASH not to say 6erceness, of
his eyes. His voice is not loud, but eloquent and
commanding. should think him made for leader
of men. The fact that he was closeted with Cramp-
ton for two hours soon after his arrival here, has
created great deal of nonsenscal scandal, which
shall not repeat. If Nicaragua has really instruct
cd her minister COL French to seek alliance with
Great Britain in preference to the United States,
believe Col. French's patriotism will lead him to
overstep his orders little and to exercise the pleni-
potentiary powers given him by the Nicaraguan
government in favor of his own countrymen. Much,
however, will depend upon the attitude taken by the
Administration. If Marcy drives Nicaragua into
the arms of Great Britain, and the commerce of Gem
tral America is given to London and Liverpool in
stead Of New York-if the annual 0OO, 900 ofsiver
taken from the mines of Central America, with all
the additional millions to be realized there by free
labor of American miners in future, is to be made
present to the Rothchilds and the Barngs whatwill
the merchants of New York say to Marcy and his
friends at the Cincinnati Convention? Great Britain
already enjoys vast monopoly in Central America,
and will readily sacrifice her Mosquito protectorate
for IN advantageous commercial treaty with Nicara-
qua and Honduras. Anumber of Senators and Rep.
resentotyes have written home for advice in regard
by the Legislatures of their States favor the recog
milton Of Nicaragua.
