WARRINGTON. Dec l5--There is DOW much
less apprehension OF trouble with Great Bril-
tain than vas anticipated when the nte H.
gence vas first received respecting ,ecen.
events in Central America. The rumors
that the President intended sendiug Con-
gress a war message are not we'll founded.
The CO rrespCLdence called for by the reso-
lu;i n o. the committee IN fyreign affairs was
sent to the House to-day, and will be pre-.
scented Tomorrow, until which time il will
not be accessible. 1t is Known, however,
from the dispatches OF Conn >dore McIntosb,
that after the steamer Washington was board
ed by the British Ulcers he demanded an ex-
PLANTATION, when Capt. Aidhsm dsclaimed
any intention TO exercise the right 0! search,
saying be had merely boarded the Washing
ton tn &c, the news. and when il WAS knowu
an English government officer WAS am Ing
the passengers Ia othor words, they mad
merely made the usual triently vIst-the
sam, az our own officers make 10 British
vessels. Sir Wm Gore Ouseley, and his Sc
cretary, explained the IN after 10 pretty much
the same way.
The pertinent fact occurs in the correspon-
dence that Great Britain exercises q protec-
torate over the Mosquito Kingdom. Sir
Cure OIseley's sec retary said that tue Bri.
fish government had abandoned the right Of
SEARCH and that therefore the visit was not
M ade under it.
It's further stated that meeting had beer
held at Greytown. when the inhabitant, resol.
we'd that they would maintain their indepen-
dence, and applied to Sir Gore Ouseley, to
assist them IN so doing. and he infor ned
them that their Eroposinan should have due
consideration 10 the proper quarter. and that
Justice would be done to sli parties.
