and I doubt not in this his lordshp was en-

members Of ministry moro averse TO American into
rests than even the distinguished Premier himself posi-
lively refused agree 70 the action OF the American
Senate in striking out Of the treaty the Bay Islands clause
Clarendon urged that all minor differences including the
pay Islands clause should be overlooked, the treaty DO
ratified and the hands Of the British government washed
now and forever of Central America that vcnage was
the great natural law which eventually govern and
that American would and should influence and
control the whole country England he contended had no
interests whatever in Central America beyond a safe
transit for her subjects and commerce. and this she would
only secure when American Institutions were established

facts connected with the negotiation Of the Honduras
treaty The ministry had agreed To transfer Honduras
the Bay Islands, British province-without any con-
sutation whatever with Parliament This was followed
by violent attacks in both houses and the excitement was
about selling upon the popular mind when the Premier

Islands he had secured them forever against savery
involuntary servitude." Thus dexterousy touching tho
peculiar preudces Of the English people on this subject

who had raised the storm.

treaty as he thinks the amendment by the Senate virtually
annuls The saving clause In the Honduras treaty. and would
give him TO the opposition side Of Parliament Thus
