THE THREATENED RuPTUE WITH GRExADA.-Our
dfi,u'ty is complicated by difference Of opinion on
Ewo distinct poiuts:-The United States Government
denim Is preparation for outrages inflicted upon Amer
icau citizens in the Panama riot Of the 9th Of last
AugusI.-The New Government repels the demand
ale ug that the Americans were the aggressors in
the ARRAY This Is the point that can only be de-
termined by testimony.
The American Government complains, moreover,
that New Grenada has imposed certain restrictions
and impOsts on the passage Of the American mail
across the Isthmus Of Panama, which are contrary
to conventional agreement and private guarantees.
The government Of New Grenada refuses to discuss
this branch of the controversy, the ground that
tits matter for the c1elucive consideration Of the
Legislative department
Repulsed on both points, the American representa-
tives then presented an unatum, to the effect, that
New Grenada should pay 100000 indemnity
for the outrage at Panama and should endOw the
United States with sort Of police control over the
Isthmus for the protection of American travellers
These propositions being rejected, Mr.. MORSE, the
special plenipoteutiary and Mr.. BowLrN, the resi-

Grenada and the United States.
Meanwhile the Administration are concentrating
considerable naval forces at Aspnwal the Pacific
side efthe Isthmus and are making other demonstra
tions Of a hostile purpose. The New York Herald
predicts the occupation of the Isthmus by a detach-
meut from the American squadron. It's to be hoped,
on the contrary. that the dispute may be arranged
without resort TO violence.

England to join the Normons, returned to London in
September last, having experienced quite enough
Of the abouina'on Of Utah. lie has published vol

'outies Of the so-callcd saints One Of his state
y ments is as follows:

the proxy system. This is so destructive Of every

Other statements are given of still morerevolting
character. Either the mormons are the most abused
