| THE CENTRAL AMERICAN IMBRoGlro- British and
French hargues.-"Ion.' the shrewd Washington cor
respondent Of the Baltimore SUM- writes the following
letter. under date Of the 29th ult.:
| The Central American mbrogliO now attracts the
attention Of the world. though. an old story our
people have almost ceased to take interest in it.
The 1rissarri treaty. which intended to protect
American interests in that quarter. is not yet ratified
by Nicaragua and il is evident. Notwithstanding the
assurances of Mr. Jerez to the contrary. that it will
not be until after satisfactory arrangements shall
have been made by Martinez with England and
France The treaty between England and Nicaragua
gives to the former power the right of protecting the
lSthmus transit by force. A similar concession was
proposed TO be made to the United States. but while
that bas been withheld Nicaragua has sought and OBJ
tanned the protection of the Governments of Great
Britain and France. American enterprise in that
qurter must stand still, and American diplomacy be
ba!ed until England and France shall have obtained
complete control of the transit Of the lshmns itself
How the President and Congress will view this state
of things will soon be seen. This movement on the
part of Great Britain was not anticipated here. But
mt the time of the cOnsummaion of the By contract
onr Executive Government took the ground that, in
opposition to and Independently OF any foreign inter
ference the United States would assert and maintain
right to free transit over the lsthmus for both
public and private purposes. Whether that right can
be asserted without collision is very doubtful
For eight years we have ipomatized with England
on the subject, and the question is now more compl-
Gated than ever, Perhaps, after the lapse of another
term OF years we may, by some treaty with England
be admitted to participation in the facilities for in
tcr-oceanc communication which the Isthmus affords.
But as to any peculiar. not to say exclusive advana
ges in the Isthmus, which have claimed, they can
not be obtained.
While other nations were passive, it was thought
here that we could secure the lsthmus by tbs ;nse
ton of plank in party platform, some other
legerdemain. If we now fall back on the '' Monroe
doctrine" we shall see the difference between an alb
stracton and it's application in practice. Our theory
is yet to be defined and recognized and applied.
That this subject will engage the early attention of
Congress- to the exclusion the perpetual Kan
sas topic. there is doubt 1t is known that several
eminent Senators prepared to enter into it. Mean
while. the Executive has the handling of the subject,
and will present it in proper shape in the message
at the opening Of the session
