FROM WASHINGTON.

WAsHIYGrox, March l6.-The Union, of this morning, in an aulhortive article
 on our Mexican and Central American re-
 ations, says there is not the least reason
 to believe from anything yet transpired,
 that either the French or English Govern
 ment meditates any interference Tn the po-
 itical concerns of Mexico, and t is known that Captain Turner, the American com manding officer, has entered into an ar rangment with the French and British com manders that the naval officers ot the na.
 lions shall act together, should such action
 be necessary 10 afford protection 10 their respective citizens. It appears further that our Government does not take the ground that the Monroe doctrine precludes any European nation from going into a war with Mexico. whatever cause might exist. IL maintains and means to take care that the Spanish American States shall not again be reduced 10 European dominion, but does not maintain that those States may commit just such wrongs as they please against European powers, without being irresponsible to those powers for their tortu- fDuS uClS. pd III IdS UeCldieu tiidl " ldo liOt the remoest idea of attempting to resubjn- gate Mexico. The United States has no objection to one canal or twenty, in Central America. There IS one question under the Monroe doctrine that they mean 10 make good, which is, that the contracts al- ready made and existing with the citizens shall not be violated, and that such canals, when made, shall be equally free and open to all commercial nations, and shall not be controlled by any one power, especially any European power Our Government is officially assured that England is not pursuing torturous or dishonest course in Nicaragua. The British Government pro- fesses fairness, and ours is not at liberty tc doubt their honor Of the treaties they mediate with the government of Nicaragua one is for the regulation ofthe transit route and another for the abandonment of the Mosquito protectorate. The general prin- ciples have been submitted to the Govern ment of the United States and approved by

TIE TREAcHERY OF DOUGLAS FULLY CoNsuMMArED.- During debate in the Senate few days before the adjournment of Congress, Douglas formally announced his separation from the Democratic party. It is true, this declaration was qualified and predicated upon contingencies, but since 1t is impossible for the Democratic party to accept the doctrine which Judge Douglas has espoused, his absolute se- cesslon from the party may be regarded as fixed fact.
 The Democratic party has most shame fully degenerated, but we cannot beleve that it can ever be forced to endorse the monstrous absurdity of Squatter Sover- eighty, doctrine which Mir. Calhoun denounced as worse than the Wimot Pro- viso As we have before shown, a territory of this Government is the prop erty of the people of this Government, and if the South has no right to carry her negroes upon her own land no interest | in planting her institutions on the com mon domain, and cannot demand that the General Government, the guardian of this publlc property, protect anu ueiehu hel there in the enjoyment of her rights and privileges, then were it better for her to decide at once that the General Govern ment is bumbug and at an end. Who would tolerate the invidlous distinction or justify, or excuse the arrogance and tyranny of territorial laws, framed by a portion of the inhabitants, who might con- ceive prejudice and hatred to the lame the blind the halt, to debar such in their midst from the enjoyment of civil or re- ligious privileges And yet this is noth- ing more nor less than the monstrous heresy MT. Douglas propagates. Let him imbue the Northern mind with such sentiments, if he chooses, but we beg him to desist his operations South of Mason's and Dixon's Line. - Memphis Ava lanche.

Another Fight with the Comanches- Mine Indians Killed.

After our paper had been worked off, we received the following news, through the politeness of It. Stockton, of the lst, Cavalry, stationed near this place, and as it IS news of importance, we hasten to lay 1t before our readers immediately.
 By news just from Fort Arbuckle, we learn that It. Stanley of the list, Caval- ry, with company D of the same regiment, succeeded in overriding party of Conan che Indians and killed nine, and was only prevented from taking the whole party by night coming on. No soldiers are report ed killed or wounded. In It. Powell's engagement with these Indians few days previous, recent reports state that he killed eight instead of five, as at first reported. It is believed that portion of the Conan ches are now between Forts Washita and Arbuckle, and a company of the lst, Cavalry under Capt. Carr, has been or dered out from the former post to cooper ate with Maj. Emory's command from Fort Arbuckle.
