Our Relations with Great Britain.

ASHINGroN, Dee. l5.-Therei is now much less
apprehension of trouble with Great Britain than
was anticipated when the intelligence was first re-
ceived respecting recent events in Central Ameri-
ca. The rumors that the President intended send
| ing Congress a war message are net well founded.
The administration still has under consideration
this important subject. and its most prominent
friends say its action will be such will meet the
reasonable expectations of the country.
The correspondence called for by the resolution
OF the Committee on Foreign Affairs. sent to
the House to-day and will be presented to omorrow
until which time it will not be accessible. 1t is
known, however, from the dispatches of Commo-
dore Mcintosh, that after the steamer Washington
was boarded by the British officers he demanded
an explanation when Capt. Aldham discaimed any
intention to exercise theright of search saving he
had mere boarded the Washington to get the
news when ht it was known an English Govern
ment Officer was amongst the passengers. In
other words they had merely made the usual friend
| ~ yisit-thc same own officers make to Brit
sh vessels Sir VIM. Gore Ouseley and his Secre-
tary, explained the matter in pretty much the
same way.
The pertinent fact occurs in the correspondence
that Great Britain exercises protectorate over the
Musquito Kingdom. Sir Gore Ouseley's Secretary
said that the British Government had abandoned
the right OF search and that, therefore, the visit
was not made under il.
1t is further stated that meeting was held at
Greytown, when the inhabitants resolved that they
would maintain their Independence and applied to
Sir Gore 0useley to assist them in so doing, and he
Informed them that their proposition should have
due consideration in the proper quarter, and that
| justice would be done to all parties
Commodore Mcintosh thinks that the explanation
made by the British officer in respect to the visit to
the steamer Washington satisfactory, frank
and fair.
The Fleet Surgeon reports the health of Com.
Mcintosh such that he should longer remain
with the home squadron.
