they we're only placed In General Cssss hands on sasur
cay night and ooum qucnty JET unac,ed upon BY thu
Administration. Enough, however, known Of Mr.. b
ohanans feelings on The subject 70 warrant the belief
that he will consent 10 the ratification OF no new treaty
with England which does NOT clearly put en- end 10 the
Clayton Bulver humbug, and Get 81 rest forever the
British claims 10 Interference In the snass Of Central
America.
The amendments made by the Senate 10 the Dallas
Clarendon treaty are In fact total rejection OF oil the
material points In ibs, instrument % II came from the
London cruoible. Aside from mere verbal alterations,
which are quite numerous there are three highly i'm
portant amendments, which, II agreed TO BY England
practically exclude her from asy farther Intervention
The FIRST amendment asserts that the sovereignty OF
RrsaD and the Bay Islands vested exclusively in Hos
ourm. This st breaks down all the Brusb preien
lions In that quarter Will 81 The same time involves
question any joint agreement the United
asss aud England, suob a. the Ciayior pul~ey treaty
&c, up n simply deolars,ory Of fso,, which thus
spizd that Honduras alone exercise sovereignty
and control over the Bay Islands.
