Dar. Bsschnnan's Administration and tho Gem
tral American mbroglio-ImPortant News
from washington.
From source which we know to be reliable
and authentic, We publish this morning a very
interesting and important despatch from Wash
ington touching the present views and purposes
of the administration upon our Anglo-Central
American relations
1t will be remarked from these assurances
through our well informed correspondent, that
notwithstanding the numerous and various pro-
vacations involved in the peculiar American
diplomacy Of Lord Palmerstou for sharp retalia-
tions on the part of Mr.. Buchanan, the policy Of
peace and good will is still his fixed policy. 1t
Is very evident that of late Lord Pslnerston
himself and his government associates have been
bending to the combined pressure of late Euro
pesn and American events, and are more than
ever inclined to snake 1t all up" with Brother
Jonathan. Through q series of years heretofore,
Lord Pslmerston's American diplomacy has
betrayed anything but confidence, or good will.
or even good faith, towards this country. The
fanaticism of Northern abolitonist and the self
conceit Of an English cockney appear to have
discolored and distorted all his diplomacy with
us, upon every issue against which bis
antslavery prejudlces could be brought
to bear Even tho late professions Of conciljaion
and magnanimity promulgated through the Eng
llsh press in his behalf, do not tally with the CO.
temporaneous transactions Of English officials in
different parts of Central America. But We do
not doubt that our administration is generously
disposed to make every allowance for these dis
crepeneies, to accept, bona fde the present assur
snces In behalf of England and to act at the pro-
per time upon her diplomatic overtures 10 the full
est confidence.
The present concliatory tone Of the British 60
vernment and the British government press, is
certainly very remarkable, and cannot be &C
counted for upon the presumption of any sud
den and newly discovered impulse of love for the
institutions and wonderful prosperity OF what
they sometimes facetiously call the "model re
public" No. This country is the rival "a well
as the ally of England In all the elements affecting
the expansion of commerce and tue march Of
civilization. But If of late the sympathies Of
England and the desires of her cabinet have been
drawn towards their cousins over the water"
il Is from the gathering of certain clouds between
the Tuileries and ST. Petersburg. The late
cordial junketines at Paris between the
brother Of the Car and the French Emperor,
and the patronizing mediation Of Louis Napoleon
on behalf of Prussia, Switzerland, Denmark, &c.
foresbadow Continental league Of imperial des-
potisms Of ominous import to the more liberal
and hostile institutions Of England. 1t Is evil
IDENTIFY the ambition of Louis Napoleon to make
Paris the mistress of the Continent, and himself
the master. To this end he may yet find il con-
venient TO permit Russia to 60 on 10 the inde6-
mite expansion her Asiatic dominions from the
Black Sea to the Yellow river In China, so that
France shall hold the imperial position Of the
srbiter Of Europe.
In view Of this imperial Continental league
against Der and her popular institutions, the at
tention Of England, her sympsthes and her hopes,
naturally attracted TO this republic, the only
other country upon the globe actively and CT
6ciently cooperating with England TO give the
ascendepcy 10 the voice OF the people a. the law
Of the S ate IL will take some time, however,
yet. 10 obliterate ia this country the reminisccn-
ces ard the legacies transmitted from father TO
con, Of the war Of l776 for our freedom on this
lald, and Of the war of 1872 for our freedom on
the seas But stu the great fact that England
on the one side Of the Atlantic, and the United
States on the other, are the two great centres Of
popular rights and Of civil and rel i5u
liberty, will do much 10 the event o.
despotc combination against Eogland, to ,dil.
gush the memories Of our wrongs, under the su-
perior pressure Of o common cause.
Actuated by some such comprehensive refec-
tions as these, and by the desire 10 extend the
fruitful triumphs Of peace rather than the bloody
glories Of war, we are assured that 1t Is the wish
OF Mr.. Buchanan to settle this Central American
inbrogle upon the broadcst basis and the sound
est principles We cannot anticipate the details
Of bis policy In this regard; but we may, perhaps,
safely predict that the programme which will be
submitted to Congress In December next will
comprehend the independence Of each Of the Gen.
trail American States, their individual security
against all entertainments from without, and all
internal revolutionary disturbances; and such
policy too, as shall promote the union Of all for
the protection Of each. Should England cordially
consent to joia US In behalf Of some sucb pro-
gramme az this VIC may look forward to an easy
aud most satisfactory and beneficial solution of
the whole controversy, TO all parties concerned,
from Honduras to New Granada.
AT all events, we can assure the British gov
eminent that the administration OF Mr.. Buchanan
Ignores all unfavorable antecedents of Lord Pal
