From Ihe Londua Timet, July 19
It is a consequence of the widely extend'
w oommion which oreat r,iam nns ac-
quired that we .hould continually become
involved in great disputes about compara
lively little objects. Franco is a great
lower, but its sphere is only European ',
Kusaia influences tho Christiansof the East
and i ho pagans of Tnrtary, but with all
her extended empire she has for three
fourths of tho world no existence. Even
tho United Slates confine themselves whol
ly to their rights and destiny in the New
World. But the political relations of this
country may be called planetary. We
have scarcely finished a war fought out in
Europe and Asia than wo bear of probable
disturbance at the extremities of Africa,
und are engaged in warm discussions re
peeling the destinies of Central America
and the communication between the two
treat oceans which it divides. It cannot
be wondered, therefore, that our people, ex
cept when roused by the chance uf a nip
turo with some civilized State, pay but lit
tie attention to these territorial questions,
In fact, what are first rate matters to the
politicians of other nations have from habit
ti-coine but of secondary interest to our
selves. Hence, even in the present dispute
with America, the rights winch our states
men refuse to cede, and the grounds on
which they build their reasoning, aro far
less considered than the consequences of a
rupture on me one nana, or .ne evu o. a
too tame concession on the other.

Hon, whatever tho Americans may think of
it, is of very small importance to us, who in
many other purls of the globe have matters
of much more serious concern which ile
tnand our car a. To preserve at once the
peace of the world and our own honor is
tbe only witili of ihe lintisli people.
The Americans may bo said to be brought
into intimnlo political relations with bng
land alone of all the great rowers. Henco
diplomatic campaign against this country
is a vent for ull ihe energy of tho Weslorn
politicians, and is looked upon as an tin
tailing source of popularity when party
combinaiioiis arc proceeding unfavorably at
Iioiiim. Icauso England, with her mul
tifarious concerns, cannot devote her atten
tion, year alter year, to these squabbles,
and is only to glad to have done with them
on any equitnblo terms, it has been said
that this country has followed too much a
policv of concession to unfounded demands.
1, ..l i v . r .i , ,
But the only serious disputes or the kind
of late years those respecting the Maine
and Oregon boundaries have been settled I
honorably : and there is now little doubt
that tho present difficulties may also come
to an end. Asia well known, there are
three questions involved the right of Eng
land to the Bulize territory, to the Bay Is
lands, and to the protectorate over the
Mosquito Indians. Now, as it is in refer
ence to the treaty of 1830 that the discus
sion has arisen, it may bo as well to call to
mind the motives which lud to that treaty
nnd the spirit in which it was concluded.
Its singlo object was to preserve the com
municaiion between the oceans from the
exclusive preponderance of either Fowcr
rr.. . ...J, i.. ,!,.... ..i. m;...,
The nvcr San Juan ran through Nicaragua
territory, but Its mouth was in the land or
the Mosquitoes. Now, ibis river was to

lleSC? til? treaty provided and it lias cer
tainly teen a jrcat gain that neither coun
try sliould occupy this coast or acquire
sovereign rights on it, The prohibition
v(u7 extended to what is called Centra)
America. Row, it roust be plain that a
treaty concluded for tho purpose of obvia
ting difficulties to tbe traffic of an isthmus
jtnl the construction of a ship canal must
lie admitted as evidence of the meaning to
be attached to anything that appears doubt
ful in its provisions. Hence, even were
ihe terms of the document less precise, it
must be doubtful whether British nogotia
tors could be held as intending to deprive
their rights which it had exercised for three
fourths of acentury. But it may,. wo think,
b shown that in the question of Belize,
the text of the treaty is wholly on the side
of England ; that with her protectorate
over the Mosquito coast its provisions do
not interfere ; and that with regard to the
Bay Islands, the question la one of fact,
and belongs exclusively to the relations be
tween Great Britain and the State oflion
durss. With rcpcct to Belize there can be lit
tle said. In the treaty Englands binds her
self not to occupy or acquire any territory
in Central America. The clause has, of
course, a prospective signification, and can
not for a moment be held to apply to Belize
or British Honduras, which has been an
undoubted possession of the Eriiifch Crown
for 80 years. But, if even that were doubt
ful, the mailer is taken out of the jurisdic
tion of the treaty by the simple fact that

separate protectorate of the Mosquitoes into
what may be catted a general American pro

us an uncertain and still questioned claim.
On the other hand, we avoid urging the
United States to abrogate the treaty of 1850,
which would expose this part of the world
