The News by tho Baltic-End OF the Con-
trail American ImbrOglio.
The Central American imbroglio seems to be
in fair way of adjustment if not by our live
diplomatists, by those from elsewhere, or by its
own weight
Our correspondence both from San Juan del
Norte and from Panama, received yesterday by
the Baltic, advises US that Mr.. wyke, the
British Minister in Central America, has jsst
negotiated treaty with Nicaragua, by which
the Mosquito Protectorate is finally abandoned
by England TO its rightful owner, the republic
Of Nicaragua, STIMULATING for his breechesless
Majesty of Blewfelds an annual subsidy of Ave
thousand dollars for ten years, after which
time the entire Mosquito territory returns to
the unquestioned sovereignty Of Nicaragua
This finally settles the Central American puz
zle, and does away with that batch of contra.
| dictions known as the Clay ton-Bulwer treaty.
| A few weeks ago we published the treaty made
by this same British Minister with Honduras,
by which the Bay Islands were returned to that
republic Internationally, and short time be.
fore that we gave to the world the treaty made
by the same gentleman with Guatemala, set
fling definitely the boundaries between its ter
ritory and that of British Honduras.
BY these operations England succeeds in
washing her hands of those mongrel communi-
ties, the Bay Islands and Mosquito, of which
she has long been heartily sick, aud would
have got rid long ago had che found an
honorable manner of getting out of the scrape
With these retrocessions she gives up the folly
of desiring to obtain an exclusively British
route of transit across the American isthmus
Experience has taught her that her interests
are best cared for in these transisthmus mat
tiers by American hands, and the results of the
Panama route and our policy regarding it have
proved that it is both cheaper and better for
Der to let us manage these matters for her. We
think this entente cordidle between England and
ourselves in regard to Spanish American mat
tiers will be found in the end to be most
profitable to all parties. The next knot to be
united is the Mexican knot. Mr.. Wyke, the
British negotiator in Central America, has re-
Gently been promoted to the post of Minister
to Mexico, in place Of Mr.. Otway, and it is to
be hoped that his good sense will be able to
disentangle the snarl that his predecessor has
helped to form in the neighboring confederacy.
The calm perseverance and wise policy of
Mr.. Buchanan have at last swept away the en-.
tapglements that the Clayton Bulwer treaty had
thrown around the Central American question,
and which for ten years have seriously inter.
fered with the Development of those republics.
The result has, we trust laid the foundation of
an entente cordiale between this country and
England, and, indeed, with all other European
nations, which will contribute materially to
bring the weak and irresponsible governments
south Of us to sense of their duties to foreign
nations and to themselves, and contribute in
some measure towards bringing about stable
condition of affairs among them.
