She is turning squarely about. displaying the cold shoulder in the direc ton of Europe and extending the warm iland across to America It would seem that Nr. Disraeli made that pro-Amelican speech not out of the whole cloth of his own private notions merely, but as. in some sort, the exposition of an as vet unsettled and unpromulgatcd national policy. which has been suggested by the movement of events, and is being moulded into shape and consistency by her statesmen.
 One of the strongest symptoms of an earnest disposition to foster the most fra ternal understanding with the United States IS the desire which the government of Eng land has recently displayed to refrain from touching us on that raw spot, Central Ame- rlca' aS she has often done and as oftnn made us squlrIn. The continent is partic- uIariy sensitive at that point. and Writhes from Canada to Mexicowhen 1t is touchod and England has for many wears system atlcaily exercised the facility for annoy. snce winch is supplied We have had quaueis, sent special embassies. made t,eat- leS, broken treaties. and it is now rcooo- nlzed point of honor for ncither sido to move is toe back from the line that if chaIked out as its ultimatun, though Eno- land las frequently slipped a little in ad- vance ot her line, showing heg teeth ip req dlheSs to back her position. France was With her; and discretely weighing the bad prospect of fair play the United States came to the conclusion that as her honor was on treaty paper, in black and white, she had better let 1t remain undisturbed. or she might not even have that to show. So we pointed to the treaty to define our position. and England pointed to Central America to deiine hers, as marked out by her occu- patton ot that country-occupatio in fact m some parts of it, and virtual in all otb- CTS.
 Little Mons. Bell y was encouraged and sns- tanned n the iockeying operations whereby he became possessed of an immense amount ot the most valuable land in the conn try, the grant being coerced as it were. anl hls canal monopoly scheme, and French lllratlon ot the isthmus plan. were working ciarmlngly, when one fine morning few weeks ago tins cnterTri>ing little gentleman with the euphonIous name found, to Use domestic phrase expressive of disapnointod ends, that his cake was all dougbn " As ms scheme matured t became necessary that Ne should cet thc recognition and tbo pledge oi protection of the British goycrn- meht-a mere matter of torm, to bc snre .or ihe English and their dear fl;end, the French were, in this Central American Lu- >lne~s as |" thick as thipvo~'-if N u,ay oT tho largest indulgence of the rcajcr in allowed another coarse expression.

 So 1t was with unfortunate little Belly. The British administration. after the most decided encouragement, changed its mind. and he has ceased to exist as political item of notoriety. He was hatlv refused tAe encouragement and protection of Great f'raTt;S Gt;'2 tafsses eritai,s aoes not care if come to her senses and is not going to ~on- hive with any power in insolently breaking 1 faith with her new love on this side of the Atlantic. But she has not alone pitched Mons. Belly overheard, but has sent the present government of Nicaragua after him, to take the chances of getting along with- out her sustaining ail and countenance.- She has positively declined to protect that government against the conSeouences of it's seizure of American steamers on Lake Nj. caragua, refusing to consider their capture legal or eXcuSable.
 Further Great Britain has refused to ratitv the OuseIev-Ieedon treaty, and has instructed Sir William Gore Ouslcv to nc- gotlatc new treaty with Nicaragua which, ia its provisions, shall givetho United States some showing Of Wstice and fair play in having hcr say-so about things in that nn happy region. This treaty, it is understood. will rather reverse the present aspect of things, for 1t will be the instrument of co., partnership between England and the Uni ted States, while France will succeed to the outside and independently unimportant place now occupied by the United States in entral American affairs, whichamomts, III fact, to being nowhere
 This sudden change of front, the paltic. uIarS of which have not vet been formally announced, is most important intelligence, not only as Icing indicative of the altered tendency ot English diplomacy, but as 1t bears directly on those great interests in Central America which have almost been annihilated by the paralyzing touch of Eng fish interference. Once tlet the United States and England work together in unison and without jealousy for the common good down there, and that anarchv-ridden re- gIon will 'come out wonderfully, and be ot some use to the great commercial and general interests of the rest of the world. Ii we cannot annex 1t in our day. we can. at all events, improve and develop it until. Tn the fullness of time, it will naturally fall to us.-N. Q. Crescent.
