[Correspondence of the North American.) Wasaincton, Dec. 10, 1855. The President’s Message—The Central American Question. The President’s message will exhibit the present state of our relations with Great Britain in regard to the Cen- tral Awerican difficulties, without any positiva recom: mendation of policy. 1t is well known here. in diplor tie quarters, that ‘the negotiations on this subject have all fuiled to reach any eatisfactory conclusion, or to ad- vence the set‘lement nearer to an amicabie basis than it had attained live years wgo. When Mfr. Buchanan first brought this matter to the notice of the British govern- ment, the Secretary for Foreign Affairs asked for time, in consequence of the pressing claims of the war. This con- cession was granted, and the subject was not taken up at all for discussion until the spring and summer of 1854, Since then it bas progre ata snail’s pace until, finally, the two goveramenta separated where they com: wenced, each denying the interpretation put upon the treaty by the other, and both agreeing that the differ — eculd not be reconciled by diplomatic correspon- lence. ‘There the question now rests, and this is the practical consummation of a treaty which was coneres to expel British influence from Central America and to emancipate those teeble republics from_the thealdsm under waich they had so long suffered. The death of Gon. Taylor, who had the incliration and the courage to have (nsisted upen the strict fulfilment of this ooligation, was the first serious blow to its faithful eniorcemeut. Mz. Fillmore, who succeeded him, never comprchesded the subject, and Mr. Webster was disinclined to take any s*ep forward which tight, by possibility, advantage the fame of his reaecessor, Mr, Clayton. ‘With all {hese complications and delays, and many {a- tervenicg new phases, the subject came to the preseat administration. Their point was made oa the colraiza- tion of the island of Ruatan, as a practical infringemeat of the treaty, But the British government contend. that it held possexeion of the island when the troaty was ri fied, and as the intention of that instrument was pros- ective, they had s right to colonize within their own Jinediction: and therefore acknowle¢ge no accounta- bili y to the United States. At this point the negotiations stand still. England xill not recede, and our government has yet to advance. Tiere are but three appa-ent alternatives: the first is to accede to the constrnetion of Great Britain and suc- render everything; the second ix to insist upon our in- terpretation, to the extent of hostillttes if necessary; and the last is to obtain, by purebase or treaty, trom one of the Central American States some spot tha+ will rerve as an offset to PRuatan, and by fortitying il to keep the Bri- tish in olicck, and to afford protec.ion to the immense commerce between the Atlantic and Pacitic oceans, through Sicaregua. If we are ever to have any real ad- justment of this matter one of these modes must inevi- uibly be adopted, and the last seems to be the most feasi ble,“ and may be accepted by the administration a9 a pens of ex:ricating itself from a most unpleasant di- me.
