We do not quite understand the
outburst of Jealousy excite
quarteCj by the pubIicat of the re-
cent American Despa1oes upon the
relations of Chill and Peru. Ttey
are declared to involve can extension
Of the Monroe Doctrine :" and that,
it is intimated, rather by shrugs than
words, is something p%ortentous. We
can see nothing in the action Of the
United States, and nothing in the so
called Monroe Doctrine-excep the
absurd formula by which it is des-
cribed-in the least Inconsistent with
European diplomacy. Every great
country declares that there are Ger
tain territorial questions in which,
though the territory lies outside her
immediate dominion, she.hos q pecu-
liar and exceptional interest. Ger
many has repeatedly declared this
about the fate Of Trieste, and that Of
Constantinople. Great Britain de.
clares it always about Egypt, and the
whole group Of territories which abut
in any manner, however remote, upon
her shortest sea route to India, Lord
Granville, for example, only yeSter-
day protecting Tripoli upon that
avowed principle. The French Gov
eminent at this very hour is moving
armies to guard its exceptional rights
throughout North Africa, where it
owns nominaIly only one province.
The Government of the United States,
in precisely the same way, declares
that political events on the American
continent have for it a separate and
special interest. That is all it says,
and the Importance of the saying is
in no way increased by the foolish
habit OF calling its intimation a "doc-
trine," and attaching to it a Presi-
dents name. Nobody questions that
Germany is deeply interested in Tri-
este, France in North Africa, and
Great Britain in the route to India,
and America is entitled to.make, If 1t
~pleases, a similar claim about the
Western Continent. Nobody is bound
BY it, any more than any body is
bound by the British, German, or
FEench declaration; they are only IN
formed of / possible danger of resist
a6ce, under certain contingencies, and
it is we'll to be so in~for1sed. IfFrance
resolves to threaten Egypt, or Italy
to menace Trieste, the British or

of that water-way-or, at all events,
the absence of foreign control over it
is, therefore, or, at all events, in
their minds appears to be, a subject of
the very first Importance. They de-
mand, therefore, hat either the Union
shall be considered the first guaran-
teeing Power of the canal-that is, in
fact, shall lay down the first condi-
tons for it's use-or that the Euro
pean Powers shall leave the matter
alone altogether. The demand was
made in a very laundering way, in
total forgetfulness of the CIayton-Bul-
wer Treaty-a blunder since repair
ed-but in its essence it was identi-
cal with our demand, which we are
supposed always to stand ready to
enforce by arms, about the Suez Ca
nal. We should not allow any single
Power to control the Canal-most
certainly not to open and close it at
discretiop-on any pretext whatever.
America may be wrong pr right in
aking her demand about the Pana-
ma Canal, but she is certainly not
outside the usual rules of diplomatic
action, and her reference to the Mon
roe Doctrine makes no difference
than the English Kings pretension to
be Kings Of France on their coins
made to their diplomatic action.
There is a notion beginning to pre-
vail that because the Union is enor-
mouSly powerful, therefore the diplo-
matte action Of its Government is not
to be free as that Of any other State.
That is precisely as unjust as it would
be to refuse diplomatic rights to u
weak State, and, Of course, far 0
foolish. We 10 not believe the Union
is going to claim a Protcctorate of
South America, but she has as much
right TO do it, ii South America plea
SEES, as we have to ',protect" the states
Of the Balkans, and she will become
in the effort not stronger, but weaker.
A protecting state must protect, and
the Republic, strong asst is, would find
that the defeat Of an invasion Of, say,
Chill was a very different affair from
the defeat OF an invasion Of South
Carolina. The whole alarm is unre-
Elective, and only calculated to breed
iil-feeling between States whose first
interest it is to keep on cordial terms.

as if it had been newly formulated
in a despatch al hoe, no more, and no
less. If a European Power has a
grievance against Chill, it will consi-
der whether it is worth while to risk
American displeasure, as it would
consider in a European quarrel the
possible diSpleasure Of a great Power;
but no "doctrine," whether first pro-
mulgated by President Monroe or
not, will have any influence in the
matter.
In the present instance, the Gov
vernment of the United States is GER
tainly not exceeding rights which
would be recognised in Europe.
When Russia defeated Turkey, and
proposed the Treaty Of San S%tefano,
all the great Powers interviewed,
said that the Treaty was too hard, and
threatened resistance if it were
enforced. On the most extreme view
of his secret thoughts-a view which
he has utterly repudiated sinco-that
is all that Mr.. Blaine, in his original
dispatches, can be held to have done.
The Chilians, who were RIGHT in
Their original quarrel, are now show
ing themselves very harsh. They are
demanding such terms that the
Peruvians, rather than grant them,
are allowing their capital to be occu-
pied and their country to fall into
anarchy. NJ Theirs threatened, at
one point Of his negotiations with
Germ ny, to take that very course;
su,. Il 0 one doubts that if it had been
taken, any State in Europe would
have had a right to intervene. In Mr..
Blaine's original dispatches, he as
serted a similar right, directed his
agents to use their good Offices be-
tween Chill and Peru to secure
peace, and left on all minds an i'm
preston that if peace were not Sc
cured, and especiallyif any European
power were called in, he would use
force. That is just what Great Britain
might have done in the Eranco-Ger-
man ease, but even this was too
much for the new President and the
American people. The Republican
newspapers grew angry, and Ir.
Blaine, who isn't, be il "enom0or9d,a
responsible Minister Of State, but
only the executive agent Of the Pre-
sldent, was directed to qualify his
previous views. La a second dcs-
patch to Nj. Hurlbut, American re-
preventative at Lima, therefore, he
c%ensures him for going much too
far, tells him that he had no right to
threaten, discIaims any idea Of
force, and announces that he has
superseded him by q special Mission.
So far from the Government Of the
Union having acted with violence
or arrogance, it has simply interferod
in the general interest OF ciyiiisation,
to advise twocontending States, whose
quarreIs materially and directly affect
the prosperity OF its WI provinces
on the Pacific, to come to reasonable
terms. 1t might have been better to
leave the whole matter alone but
America has clearly as much sight
to decide that question as Germany
or Great Britain has to decide
whether u distant movement affects
her interests.
