WHOLE NO. 7304. IMPORTANT FROM ENGLAND. The Final Settlement of the Central American Question. TREATY BETWEEN HONDURAS AND GREAT BRITAIN, TRE BAY ISLANDS CEDED TO HONDURAS. THE MOSQUITO PROTECTORATE ABANDONED, &., &o., &o. Special Correspondence of the New York Herald, Loxpoy, Aug. 15, 1855. Tam happy to inform you of the definitive sottlement Of the Central American question, and hasten to present you the general terms of the adjustment. It should be observed that, so far as Honduras is cou- cerned, the matter has becn arranged between Lord Clarendon snd Sr. Don Victor Herran, Plenipotentiary of Hondures, in London. The treaties drawn up by these negotiators have already been signed, and consist— ‘Ist. Of a general freaty of amity and commerce. 2d. Ofa convention for the adjustment of all claims of British subjects on the goveroment of Honduras, and for the extinction of any I#@lan (Mosquito) titles within the territories recognised as pertaining to Honduras; and 8d. A convention for the restoration to the sovereignty of Honduras of the Bay Islands. The convention for the restoration of the Bay Islands is that which, from the circumstance of their occupation and colonization by Great Britain having been regarded in the United States as a flagrant violation of the Ciayton and Bulwer convention, first claims attention, ‘and will excite much interest, The convention restores these islands to the sovereignty of Honduras, only stipulating, on behalf of the people who have established themselves there under the British occupancy, the perpetual enjoy- ment of certain rights and privileges. The ground upon which the restoration is made is the importance of pro- ‘serving neutral the route of the proposed inter.oceanic allway (hr ough Honduras, Art. I sets fortn >— Taking into consideration the peculiar topographical Position of Honduras, and in order to secure the neu- trality of the islands adjacent thereto, with reference to ‘the piopored inter-oceanic railway across the territories of luras, &c., &c., thsrefore these islands are placed ‘by mutual agreement under the sovereignty of the re- public of Huaduras. ‘The inbabitants already established there are 1. To govern themselves by means of their own ma- anicipsl government, to be a. ministered by legislative, executive, and judicial officers of their own election, ‘according to their own regulations. 2, Trial by jury in their own courts, 3. Perfect freedom of religious bel tic and private. 4. Exemption from all taxation on real estate or other Property, +xcept such as may be imposed by their own gmunietpality, and collected for the treasury of the same, ‘and to ve applied to the common benetit. 6. Exemption from military servica, except for their Own defence. The republic of Honduras engages not to exercise tts rights of sovereignty in apy manner to violate the rights and immunities specified in this article. The republic of Honduras also engages not to ercct now Permit tr be erected apy fortifications on said isiands, or any others in the Bay of Honduras, nor cede such islands, -Or apy of them, or the right of sovereignty over them, or apy part of suck ty, 10 any nation or State and worship, pub- tracting parties agree to communicate the present convention to all other maritime Powers, and to invite them to accede to ii. # This is the tctal of the convention touching the “Colony “Of the Bay Isiaads,’’ which thus disappears from the list of British colonies, and devolves to its legitimate owner, Honduras. The stipulations concerning religious free. dom and trial by jury, are thus forced on Hondu- ‘ras, and furnish the germs from which these emi- ‘ently Anglo-Saxon ideas or institutions must soon “spread to the main land—the sooner the better. The second convention provides for the establishmeat -Of w board of three arbitratore—one to be named by the ‘English government, the second by that of Honduras, and the third to bechosen by the two thus named, He ‘must not be a British subject, a citizen of Central Ameri- “€a, nor of the United States. This commission is to hear -and decide on all claims as between Briush subjects aad the repubiic of Honduras, and its decision is to be dual and without appeal. The limits of Honduras are recognised as extending to Cape Gracios a Dios, and the Rio Wanks or Legoria on the touth; but if the Commission of Arbitration find that ‘Abere are any Mosquito Indians in the territory above ‘bat river, they are to decide upon the time when euch Indians shal! withdraw from it, and the amount of the Annuity meantime to be paid to them in consideration of ‘eueh withdrawal. The treaty of amity, commerce and navigation contains ‘the usual rtipuiationa of such treaties, with an aidi- ‘ional article guarantying the neutrality and protecting ‘the independence of the proposed great inter-oceanic railway through Honduras, This article is as follows, vand is directed, equally against taterior and external Coen Article 26. Inasmuch as a contract was entered into by the fevernmeat of Honduras and @ company entitled ‘the “Honduras Inter-oceanic oe Company,’ for the of constructing railway from atlantic to fic ocean, thi the ter-itories of Honduras, which contract was ratified by tho constitutional powers of the State, and procisimes as law on the 28th day of A 185+; and aimee, by the terms of artic 6 6, sec. 6, coutract “the government of Honduras, with the view to secure the route herein contemplated from all ia- Acsruption and distarbance, from any cause, or under any ciroumstences, engages to open negotiations with the va- ious governments with which it inay have relatioos, for thelr separate jon of the perpotual neutrality, and for the protection of the aforesaid route;” therefore, to Carry out Lic obligations thus incurred— 1. The government of Honduras agrees that the rigut of way or transit over such route or road, or any other ‘that may be constructed within its territories, from sea to sea, soa!! be at all times open and free to the govern- ment and sudjects of Great Britaia, for ail lawiut pur- whatever, and no tolls, duties or charges of any thal be imposed on the trapsit of property belong- ing to the government of Great Britain, or on the pubtic mails seut wocer authority of the same, nor upon the sub- Jects of the British crown; and all lawfu! produce, manu- factures, merchandise, or other property belonging to Subjects of Great Britain passing irom one ocean wo the ‘Other, in either direction, sail not be subject to any im- port or export duties whatever, and shall be secure and Protected from all interruption or detention on the part of the State: anc, finally, as an evidence of its disposition to accore to the travel and commerce of the worl all the advantoges resulting trom it: position in respect to ‘the tw eat oceans, Honduras, of her own good will, en- e8 to e tablish the ports at the extremitios of the con- plated road as free porta, for all the purposes of com. amerce and trade. 2. In consideration of these concessions, in ordor to se cure the construction and permanence of the roate or road berein contempiated, and slso to secure for the be- Befit ot mankind the auiaterrupted advan of such communication from sea to sea, Great Bri recognizes the rights of acne and property of Honduras in and over the line of road, and for the same reason rantees positively and officaciously the entire neueralt- of the samo, 80 long as Groat Britain shali enjoy the Privileges conceded to it in the preceding section of this article. And when the proposed road shall have been completed, Great Britain equally engages, in conjunction with Honduras, to protect the same from interruption, eeiznre, or unjist confseation, from whatsoever quarter the attempt may proseed Such are the terms of the arrangement between Great Britain and Honduras, and it will only require the ap- Proval of the Legislature of Honduras, which will be given, of couree. It should be observed that the government of France has agroed to the article guarantying the Honda fas railway, as an appendix to the treaty with Honduras, @lrendy existing. It is well waderstood that there gua- Fantees secure an amount of public interest in this rail way which ensures its speedy construction. In respect to the remaining issues in the Central Amo. tican complication, it has been agreed between Lord Cla- rendon and Mr. Dallas that the port of San Juan de Nica- Pagen (Greytown) shall return under the sovereignty of Nicaragua, subject, however, to the same stipulations ‘with the Bay 1 ‘The Mosquito sovereignty, 80 call @d, is to disappear forever, and the Mosquito Indians are ( concentrate themselves within a certain defined terri- ory, within which they shail ifye, for a term of years, such posseesory rights as are, accord. ed to the Indians on the American “Indian resor- vations." Meantime they are to enjoy a small annuity from the State of Nicaragua, to be Oxed by arbitrators, ‘who are to be appointed in the samo mannor with those Jeharged with similar duties in Honduras, It is to regretied that there is in Ragland no Ministor duly empowered from Nicaragua. If there was this issue jeteo could be definitively arranged, A representative from President Rivas would undoubtedly be received, as the English government ia determined, if possible, to wipe out all causes of difference with the United States, aud open new books with the Fremont admiaistration. It would not, there- fore, stand at trifles. However, the principle of the adjustment is admitted, and the deOnitive adjust- ment itself will be made at the first possible moment. In respect to Belize, it is understood, as Guatemala, being in the English interest and not having made any complaints of British encroachments since the agitation of the Central American question, commenced in 1849, that, therefore, the limits of Belize will be understood to be those which were claimed at the time of the ratification of the Bulwer- Clayton convention in 1850, viz : a3 extending southward to the river Sqrstoon, As the steady tool of British diplo- matists, and privy to British intrigues, tt is not supposed that the present Dictator of Guatemala will object to this permanent absorption of a large part of the Guatemalaa territory in the establishment of Belize. He has always affected to degpice American interference in Central Ame- rican affairs, and has always been hostile to American influence and interests. He and his followers cannot, therefore, be surprised if they are permitted to suffer the results of their own ignorance, intolerance and folly. ‘They will be left with only a narrow frontage, of some thirty or forty miles of territory, on the Atlantic—con- etderably more than they deserve. Such is the final result of the Central American im- breglio, and we cannot doubt but that it will prove satis- factory to all parties interested, with the possible excep tion of Guatemala. ‘The Common Sense Solution of the Centra! American Question. [From the New York Herald, April 5, 1854.} No qvestion of public interes} has ever been 40 be- devilled by quacks, complicated by fools, or distorted by ignorance, as that’ which has become an eye-sore in the pewapapers and @ nuisance in Congress, under the de- pomivation of the ‘Central American Question.” Con- venticns have risen out of it which nobody understands, and discussiong which nobody reads. Ministers have been appointed in reference to its settlemeat, each oae worge than the other, through every posstbie phase of igvorance andfoliy. In short, its whole history has been one of hesitation when action was necersary and might bave been usetul, of spasmodic vebemence when caution and prudence were requisite, and of a final serious, if not dangerous complication when complete adjustment was simple and easy. Let us now bring a little common sense to the rescue, and the world willsve how much the whole matter has been mystiled ‘and involved by that remnant of mediceval charlatanry called diplomacy, and by the incapacity of men whom party machinery has raised from congenial obscurity to the dangerous emineuce of power. The ‘Central American question” comprises three points only, entitled to serious consideration :— 1. British pretensious on the Mosquito shore. 2. British assumption of sovereignty in Belize ; and 3. The occupation and colonization of tbe Bay Islands. Now, as regards the Mosquito shore, without going into the question of the alleged protectorate, we all kaow tnat the only real motive which Great Britain had in reviviug and givirg force to her pretensions there, was to obtain posecrsion or control of the porsof San Juan del Norte, which it had been erroneously supposed was the key to tbe line of communication between the seas. But when Palmerston failed to obtain possession of the correspond ipg position on the other sie of the continent, and when the influx of Americans had converted San Juan into de facto American town, then British interest in the Mosquito King be; rapidly to decline~to such an extent, indeed, that we know Mr. Crampton had agreed to the terms of @ convention with Nica re by which the authority of that State-was to be extended over the Coast, and the so-called Kiag Was to retire on a pension. 1 this @rrapgement was not curried out, it was because of the occurrence of well known events, which reed not be recapituiated. Heace it follows that no real difficulties lie in the way of the ad. juxtment of the Mosquito iasue ia the Central Amorican «Cmpacation. Let Nicaragua give ‘George Wiliam Cla- rence’ a ae a movt a make San ee me «a free port, question w! ‘maneatly dis- poved of to the satisfaction of crery¥ogy Neat, as regards Belize: There is no doubt, apart from all mere techrical questions of right, that the Br.tish es- tabiiebment there bas been « beneilt to the world, It has introduced industry and @ relative civilization on @ coast which, if left to Spanish influexces alone, would still treat of tapirs and alligators. Atlantic would ceek to disturb, much less to reverse, this state of things, so favorable to commerce, aud generally so beneficial to Central America itself, It is true wide and unwarranted pretensions to adjacent territory have beeu set up by the Governors of Belize. Were these to be re limquished, as they should be, no objection could ration ally be offered to the permanent occupation of Belize by the people of Griat Britain, We come now to the real, substantial isgue in the whole viz —the occupation and colonization of the Bay @ first place, it is demons le, aud it bas been clearly demonstrated, that Great Britvio has no shadow of a right there. The act of colonization took place two years after she had solomaly pledged herself not “to cccupy nor t? colonize any portion of Ceutral America.” Further more, as the nation which possesess a vital interest in having the Itthmus highway betweea Ler Atlantic and Pacific possessions free trom the domination efany great maritime Power, the United States has the right to \psist that Great Britain shail uot make use of false pretensions, or even of doubtful rights, to obtain com manding poritions on the line or on the flanks of that highway. The interest which the United States takes ia this matter of the Bay Islands, resula from the para mount instincts of national saf.ty. She has, too, an in- jercet resulting from the terms of the conveution which she made with Great Britain, ia which the Led States renounced ali purposes of acquisition herself, in order to keep the Central American Isthmus open to the worl But still this issue ts primarily and legitimately between Great Brilain and Honduras; the latter claiming the right, and the former exercising the fact, of sovereignty over these islancs. Now, there can be but littie doubt that if Great Britain were to gooenty, restore these islands to Honduras, that republic would readily recog nize all rights of property and of interest which have grown up under Fogiish ocoupancy, aud, furthermore, mcede 10 the actual inhabitants such municipal rights and powers as should pemeey constitute them an lade. pendent community, Tn this manaer England would re- cefve the credit of fuirpess, and obtalo consequent in ‘uence with the State to whom the atonement would be made while tLe most important tesue in the whole Cen- tre) American controverey would be fipally withdrawn. We have reason to believe that iniluences, not originatin, with either the government of the United Sta.es uor wi that of Great Britain, are at work to effect this result, which is one of deep importance, not less tn view of the dieporal of a cause in dispute than {n depriving captious pren iors and noiry a es, on both sides of the At- lantic, of the means of disturbtng the repose and embit- toring the relations of their respective countries. The commen eense and plain Ly of the public will see at once that there ts no reason for prolonging this dispute, and that its setticment can be effected 02 the basis al indicated with no eacrifice of right or of honor on eithe side. Let the people, therefore, look to the matter tor themselves, and see that the settlement ve made. Central American Affairs.

The alarmin the neighborhood of Southileld still con- tinues, though we have not heard that auy new cases of yellow fever have broken out,"probably from there belag no material on which it caa feed. Aman named O’Hea was arrested on board the brig Marrbal!!, one of the infected vessels, on Wednesday night, cbarged with attempting to stea! sundry bage of augar, which were on board, He was taken to the Qasranitne jail, and was held to answer yesterday. It seems that stenting from these vessels is qrite frequent, tt general!y being dose at midnight, whem there are but one or two persons on the vesvel. It is mcre than probable, too, that these rogues have been the meaus of spreading the yelow fever wo the shore, as the gooas they stea: are bigbiy imiectious. Ta view of their continued depredations, Dr. Thompson bas given orders to the captains to keep strict waten on their vessels, and every thief caught will be summarily dealt with, Hereafter the rogues will be lucky if they escape. From the following correspondence it will be seen that the Lieaith Ofticer is in favor of the removal of Quarantine from ita present location :— States Ietaxn, Aug 25, 1856. To R. Hf. Tuoxrsoy. M.

In your opinion, does the health interest of the port call for a change in the locality of the Marine Hospitals as 4 pari of the Quarantine establis ad If 80, can such a ¢ effected without serjous de‘riment to an eilicient ntine, apd to the great commercial interests of New York and Brooklyn’ An early reply to the foregoing interro gations will much oblige.

The yellow fever is abating at Fort Hamiiton, for the reason that nearly all who lived in that locality have abandoned it, end the piace ia comparatively deserted. Four new cases baye been reported, though we could not learn names. Ia addition to the full list of names given yesterday of the sick and dead, we bave to add that of Charles Van Brent, a young man living about a mile from Fort Hamil- ton om the Brooklyn roai, His brother and family had left the neighborhood on the breaking out of the fever, but he Logering behind, caught the disease; but in the opinion of the phlysician he is now outof danger. A ser ‘vant girl in the houre was also sick, but is now recover- ing. One of the feriale help of dir, Cummings ts dead, and the otber is recovering. ‘A meeting of persons who bad lived in that part of the country was held yesterday in this city, and it was ogrecd to raise @ fand for the support and cure of fick. Several thousand dollars were subscribed, and im- mediate measures Will be taken to do what is required for their care.

We, the undersigned, residents of this piace, beg leave tb call your attention to several misstatements in the re portof the fever now prevailing in this place made tn your paper of this morning: — 1. Itts not true that any of tho sick, either rich or poor, have, to our knowledge, suffered from want of at tention. Profesional nurses have scarcely been sought for in any instance, 80 readily have the necessary offices been rendered by our citizens of various classes. In tho cases of Mr. and Mra, Cuming, they were attended from the first and throughout by four Indies and fire gentle- men, assisted by the servants of the household. These Jadies and gentlemen were the particular and personal friends and neighbors of Mr. and Mrs. ©, Drs. Bell and Griswoll were their physicians.

I find in your paper of this morning an account given of the fever at Fort Hamilton, in which you say the sick and dying are neglected, and neither love nor money wiilipduce nurses and relations to wait oa them; that the friends of those who have relations sick have ollered any money to physicians and nurses who can be pre- vailed on to go down; and that it is a fact that wealthy peopie have died from neglect—being abandoned to die a painful and loathsome death, with no one to comfort or attend to them in their last agony. ‘That you may judge of the truth of this statement, I would refer you to the following. After reading the frightful statement given in your paper, I proceeded, in company with Mr, John comet, to Fort Hamilton, where we were joined by Dr. ley, and commenced an examination by visiting the cases reported by you. 1,—At Mr. Green’s house, on the beach, we found old Mr. Green and bis sop sick with the fever, but getting better. Were told by ung Green,*who was in attend- ance on his brother, ‘the patients were well attended both by nurses and physicians, and there had been no want of help, and wished for no assistance.
