Were the British Prime Minister 10 have sign
ed an important treaty with the Ambassador f
the Principally of Monaco,furn-hed by his gov
orhrnent with full powers; were this treaty the
object of long mud difficult negotiations, which
regulate questions long in allegiance. TO have been
disavowed by the Prince of Monaco, we should
doubtless oil England exact vengeance for
such an outrage. Fleets would be dispatched to
menace with a bombardment the ports Of the in.
solent power. and the admirals would call on the
'boys' 10 sharpen their eutlasses. The above
hypothesis has been realized, only il is a question
OF the United States, and not Of the Principal
ty of Monaco. Lord Clarendon aud Mr. Dallas
concluded last autumn convention which rcgu
lated the relations # the two counties with Cen
trul America. 1t is known that the United States
have for IA long time sought to take root the
lstbmus which separates the two Americas: but
the United States refuses. not only 10 permit
Great Britain to maintain colonies on that terri
tory. but also to exercise any protectorate any
of the influence to which they themselves lay
claim without restriction. The English govern
mcnt, giving way before the mennces Of the
Washington Cabinet. consented to cvacnate the
territory 81 Honduras, and To renounce its pro.
toctorate over the King oil the Mosquitoes. The
treaty signed in London, contained engagements
for the future: and il was hoped that by dint of
sacrifices nl fresh cmbnrrassments would be
spared. But the Senate of Washington has now
voted by majority If '}3 against that the
treaty shall be sent 10 the Committee on Fo
reign Affairs. ard thus deprives the President
of tho power Of aiifying IT. OF the two clauses
which bnve been elected by the Senate, the first
is the acknowledged of tho Independence of
the Mosquito Indians. England, in renouDciDg
the proiect or@e over the unciviized king Thought
j, n, leas advisable to acknowledge his ind"pcn.
dence. II does not suit the United States To bIni
themselves TO any point TINT may interfere with
their ulerior views. England secondly, on
e,acunting Honduras, had obtained the engage
mant TINT slavory should never be re-eshb shed
on tho territory she abandoned. The United
States do not permit tsreat Britain to introduce
in the American continent the stumbling block
Of abolition. and they reject tho offensive clause.
Thus the English have not yet given way sni-
ccntl 10 live in good intelligence with The fed
cral republic. No account is taken OF their sa-
critices, and fresh ones are about 10 be exactod.
viii the London press oiler those inennces which
it lnvishes on feebler states! BY no means, for
towards the United States it displays phi.
losophica moderation. In October last England
recalled her repre- sentative at Naples. and since
that period the King of tho Two Siciles has tnken
no step TO enjoy once moro the presence OF that
diplomatic spy. In tho month Of June last the
United States drove away the English Ambas
sndor and the three principal consus hey nave
dspla, ed no regret for this brutal act md nev.
crtheloss the cabinet of London has not allowed
six months,o clupse without replacing Mr.. Cram
ton. Lord Napier has been appointed, and The
Times teors only that he mW not be sgGc'Hfy
toHCiiiatory al UdShington. The inct i that
the English no longer dcspatch to this post
II diplomaist at all prepared to spenk high md
firm in the name of HE interests and dignity Of
his country. They are contcn'od with II scape
goat who is prepared to swallow an insult and to
appear delighted nt the joke. Strike for have
