All the accounts from Central America, brought by
the Granada, goto show that the British Government
has been interposing, fundamentally and mperti-
nenty in Central American affairs aud that is high
time the administration at Washington took bold
and determined stand-unless, indeed the conclusion
has been arrived at to acquescen and submit to any
and that may occur, wherein there is the
fainest shadow Of danger involved.
The Aspinwall Courier, of the goth, speaks Of in
tercepted dispatches Of Lord Clarendon the Costa
5Mcan government, promising supply of arms on
the part Of Great Britain and the aid Of her cruisers
m the Pacific to enable Costa RIGA to contend against
Nicaragua, 7 etc. And, we understand, Col French,
recently Minister from Nicaragua to the United states
reports that tie British and Costa Ran mails were
captured by Capt Baldwin, a little distance up me
serrapiqni, a tributary Of the San Juan One mail
was marked Costa Rican, other British They
were speedily forwardedto Gen. Walker who respect
ed the British mail but oyerhauled that of his enemies
as liz had All inlubitabe right to do. In the Costa
RIGA mail was found copy Of letter from the Earl
&c Clarendon to tie Minister Of Costa Rica at London
enclosed BY the latter to the Secretary of State Of
Costa Rica III this letter. funds and the assistance
Of war vessels were promised Thus, the information
If the Aspinwall Coureris substantially corroborated
hands Of the administration We trust it will not be
allowed to moulder in the pigeon holes of the State
Department at Washington Congress should I'M
earth it, by resolution, as speedily practicable If
left to the tender merces of old Marcy it will not be
heard Of during his term of service.
President Pierce--if the reports to which we have
alluded prove authentie-has now a chance to re-
deem himself and his administration. He has been
the most fortunate that ever breathed and may
hap his good fortune will not desert him now if he
behaves in manner to deserve it. He had SPLEEN
did chance in the House of Representatives when
young man, aud did not improve it. Afterwards
he enjoyed noble opportunities in the Senate, but
failed to make much Of. them. During the Mexican
war he had glorious chances to win honorable re-
noWn and-fainted! He has had plenty Of opportu
mites during his Presidential career to stamp the i'm
press Of craftsmanship upon his course, but has ne
elected them all. And now, as his administration is
drawing towards its close, and his prospects for
nomination are slightand growing sighter every day,
this Central American business turns up which, if
firmly handled will not only secure
his denomination contribute largely to his popu
larity in the approaching election
i All he has to do to secure a denomination, is to
strictly enforce the Monroe doetrineto tell Great
Britain that her interference this continent will
not be tolerated-that the game is Glands off" all
around--and that while we do not NEEDLE with her
wholesale husterng in Asia, she must let our peo-
pie alone in thertle retail transactions this side the
water. A determined tone like this would secure
nonnterference and continuance Of peaceful rela-
tons. 4
