THE NEW POLICY OF AMERICA, IN) CENTRAL the Second Convention between Honduras and Great Britain—Tne Movquito Ladians. TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD. Lonvon, Oct. 23, 1856. Yon have already published the Convention be tween Great Britain and Honduras, for the surrender of the sovereignty of “the Colony of the Bay Islanda” to the letter republic. I now send you a copy of a second Convention, Between tho same parties, for the extinction of Mosquito sovereignty, or ell pretensions to the sume, in that portion of Ceutral An erica over »hich Honduras claims juris- diction. Yon will observe that the territorial limits of Hon- duras, as against Moequito pretensions, ave recog. nised as extending to the Kio Wanx, or Segovia ond as laid down in Squier’s map of Honduras and San Salvador, which is the treaty map. A covsider- able extent of the territory of Honduras, embracing upwards of 150 miles of coast, from the Rio Roman to the Rio Wauks, bas hitherto heen claimed on behalf of the puissant monarch of Mosquito, al though his eubjects never had any foothold within it, exeept in a small district near Cape Gracias a Dios. The claim was principally got up by Eng- lish mahogany cutters, to avoid the charges imposed by Horduras on that branch of traffic. It was within this district that the English fili- Laster, Gregor McGregor, established hiinself, ander the title of “Cazique of Poyas.” His operations made a great sensation in England at one time. He promulgated a constitution for his kingdom, and emitted bonds, called the “Poyas bonds,” which va- rious deluded persons in Europe stid treasure up as vomething of value, or as likely to be provided for, in some mysterious way, in the final settling ap of Central American affairs. Chey are quite as valua- ble, if not as numerous, a4 the corresponding em. tous of the grewt Ceutral American Land and Mia- ing (Company of White, Johnson, Cooper aud kin- \ is very obvious, from the various comventions which Great Britaitf has concluded with Hoaduras, that she is determined to wash her hands of the Central American complication. So long as ahe heid the Bay Islands by an act of asarpation, and so long os she kept up the farce of a Mosquito kingd »m, so Jeng the whole world knew that all her pretensions in favor of a free transit between the reas, aud against the alleged policy of the United States ia those countries, were sheer hambag. Now, how- ever, having divested herself of the Mosquito pro- tectorate and the sovereignty of the Bay Islands, the can fairly claim to be heard in support of the freedom of the interoecanic highway, and she may come into coort with clean bands against those who may threaten that highway or disturb its security. She can now claim to bave observed fully the letter and spirit of the Clsyton and Bulwer treaty, and demind a stwilar exact observance on the part of others. In this respect her position is much alter- ed and improved, and in assuming it she bas paid a just tribute to public morality, and initiated a sound policy, which in the end caunot fail to promote ber material interests. The sertiement of the Central American question —and it is now assumed to be settled, in principle, if not in detail—gives great catisfaction to the English people. 1 thiuk the government at one time feared to hear a howl of discontent from the “true blooded Britons,” bat beyond a tow epastoodic sttempts at indignation on the part of te Morning Herald, no voice has been publicl raived agninst the adjustment, notwithataading {t involved the rendition of the Bay lalands At this moment the English and French sufferers by Pierce's briliiant achievement at San Jaan (Greytown), are making extraordinary efforts ty arrest the attention of their respective govern monte end get them to usite ia a formal demand on the United States for indemnity. The agent of the French sufferers, one Viscompt Barrvel, has printed two thick, biood-red pamphlets oa the subject, orna- mented with engravings of barniog torches, and threaters to print more. This Rarrucl was most oetive in getting the English fato San Jaan ia 1845, and ofter suftring all sorta of indignities at their bands, has finelly “come to_ grief” through Capt. Hol'ins and Gen.

[us VR HERRAN, [us | ‘The Central American Question. [From the Lonaon Gazette, Oot. 20.) ry penpht has been recently published in Franc setting forth the losses and sufferings of certain Trench reedents at Greytown during the bonbard ment of that place, seme two years since, by the American frigate Cyane. This pamphiet, which is written in an excited spirit, is intended as an mo to public opinion on beth sides of the channel, in the hope of bringing such a pressure to bear upon the British government as will compel them to act, and to Cemand indemnifiontion from that of the United Sts tes for the losses incurred by the gettlers at the hands of Captain Hollins. No doubt th» at- tack upon Greytown and ite unfortunate inhabitants was & gross outrage, and, if we remember aright, the amende was eo tar made that Presideat Pierce re‘used to ad »pt the acts of the commander of the Cyane; that officer was considered by the American government to have exceeded his daty, and was dealt with accordingly. The line taken by the writer or writers of the pemphiet in question bas been foilowed by certain politicians in this country, and adopted by the or. sition prees. For ourselves, we cannot seo how the Hritish government is concerned in protecting the French vettlers at ig beg Such a policy would naturally be pursued by France, but those who secommend it to our government are ignorant of the nature of the relations of this country with Grey- town and the neighboring coast. It is quite true that in 1848 we expelled the Nica ns from that place (then known os San Juan de Nicaragua), and ‘nciuded it inthe Mosquito Protectorate, properly so cailed; and that this course was taken by the British government for the purpose of pre- venting the deliberate and persistent encroich- menta of the republtc upon the territory of the Mos- quitos, which we were bound by Se a of long standing to preserve inviolate, to prevent the monopoly by Ni of the mouth of the river san Juan. This we have cfitctually prevented, aud the bombardment of Greytown, a hi admictediy an outrage aa against the settlers, did not in any way endanger the object we had In view in the reiznre of the place, much less did it overthrow the policy which dictated that seizure. Had the Cyane landed ber sailors and marines and taken of Honduras the Commas oe Ley-#1x, peesession of the town, and had the Ameri- can rnment attempted to justify that act, it would bave been quite a different matter; that would bave constituted a direct violation of the Ralwer-Clayton treaty, whieh could not, of course be tolerated. Or’ bad any British snojects sutfered by the bombardment, our goverrment must bave demanded satisfaction from the Cabinet of Washington. Peyond this, we caunot understmd what business thy British government would haveto move in the question; and no doubt Lord Palmer ston, by whose advies Greytown was seized in 1848, ts of the same opinion. ‘The occasions of offence between this government and that of the United States have been suffic'ently nameroas of late, with- cnt seeking to add to. them on frivolous pretences. A fleet of Siritish and American ships of war is now lying betore Greytown, to preeerve the strict nea- teality of that place and the surrounding territory in Ceutral America. Beyond that necessary duty we believe and trast their orders do not and wil! not extend. Police Untelligence.

Mexico, always in a state of disorder and revolu- tion, is evidently approaching auother crisis in her ‘History. President Comonfort is surrounded on all ‘aides by dangers and difficulties which it is possible ‘he may not be able to surmouat; andthe next act in the historical drama of that country threatens to be the severance of the repablic into two or more distinct parts, and the annexation of oae or all of ‘them to the American Union. A review of the | events o° the last three or four years will be iate- resting at this timo, as‘proving too conclusively that there is little or no hope of the social or political amelioration of Mexico so long as she is at present constituted, or 80 long a3 she is cursed with the race of ambitious, designing and incompetent men who successively control her destinies. RETURN OF SAN@A ANNA IN 1853. General Santa Anne, who had been for several yenrs living as an exile in New Granada, was, by decree of 17th March, 1863, recalied from exile, for the purpose of being once more charged with the supreme control of affiirs. A successful revolution ‘had been prosecuted against President Arista, who, finding himself unable to cope with it, abdicated, leaving the government temporarily in the hands of ‘the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, Juan B. Ceballos. This revolution was conducted on a pro- gramme of principles known as as tho Ptan of Jalis- co, the object of which was to overthrow the then. existing govornment and restore Santa Anna to power. Its leader was General Uraga, who. wes subsequently sent as Minister to Prussia, and.is now au exile in New York, Arista having succumbed, the revolution having been completely successful, and Santa Anna having, by invitation of the chiofs of the army, arrived at Vera Cros, he was thero met by Cebellos, who deposited in his hands the charge be had received, and amid great demonstrations of joy on the part of the people, he was conducted in triumph to the city of Mexico, where he immediate- ly set about the reorganization of the government. EX-YRESIDENT AZISTA AND ANNEXATION. Santa Anna, on his way to Vera Crus, had stopped at Cuba, and bad there bad along private interview with Captain-General Canedo. The object of taat interview was supposed, and with much reason, to be either to establish an empire in Mexico or else re- atore it to the dominion of Spain, with Santa Aana 2s Viceroy. Arista's sentiments were then understood by us to be in favor of the annexation of Mexico to the United States. The Diario de la Marino, of Hsvana, bed published a correspondence between him and Senta Anna, in which the following sen- tence had been frandulently interpolated: 1 desire the happiners of my couutry, and to attain {tT ave Lo road but through fecorn! institutions, and, if it be esd, Abn Xation to the United deates, ta whieb Mexico wih weet an mexhauetible fountain of riebes aad pros perity, wotwit “ike ete way Ineo that grand cugms baat squaring of tue le, called by Saute some uadou aly. Tho cay wil © when this will bappea. The HxraLy of couree commented on that ex pression of ex President Arista’s, not for a momeut doubting its authenticity. We, however, in July, 1853, received from Mr. Arista the following iadig- naut denial of its truth:— Loypox, July 12, 1863 TO THF PPITOR OF THE NEW YOKK HERALD. ‘Turnel, the Mexican Minte- par poor, aud cout ell 4) ia other papore tnerefore, you will hay tbe kincnese (o Insert the present communication @ th» aR AID.

Io imitation of the coup d’éat of Louia Napoieon, ef- fected on 24 December, 1952, Santa Anna caused himeelf to be elected on the 24 of Febroary, 1554, per- manent Dictator of the republic, with the title of * Most Serene Highness,” and with the power of 0 ming his suocessor in the event of death or other disability. This stroke of policy was knowa as t! @ Act of Guadalajara, the scheme having been elabo- rated in the city of that name on 17th November, 1863, and enbsequently submitted to the people, ' y whom it was ratified. At the same time he cou menced to institate the “Order of Guadalupe” and other distinctions, by the conferring of which b sought to attach to him the prominent the properiiy Tam, men of the country, and thereby en- sire bis régime. In this, however, he was uasnecersful. Ex-President Ceballos was one of thore who refused to accept the distinction. Gen. Alvarez, Governor of the State of Guerrero, Patri- arch of the Pinto tribe of Indians, and enjoying t § sonbriquet of the “ Panther of the Pacific,” also scornfally rejected the’ decoration. The former found it necessary to leave the country and sojourn ot the Metropolitan Hotel in this city. The latter refused to recognize the ediet of Santa Anna do. priving him of hit Governorship, and, secure in bis moontain State and in thfstrength and affection of his people, he threw off all appearance of allegiance and spat defiance npon his most Serene Highness, These two men thus initiated a movement which ended in the overthrow of Santa Auna’s government and tn the Might of the Dictetor fro the chores of ’ VAN aa than i” a THE REVOLUTION WHIOH OVERTHREW HIM. ‘The revolution thus initiated soon spread all over the republic. Vidaurri in the north exercised. as high an influence over the people, and proved as. ‘mighty an antegonist to Santa Anna,as did Alvarez in the.south. The Dictator, resolving first to crush Alvarez, marehed against him atthe head of as powerful an army ashe could collect, aud besieged Acapulco, the. principal sea port, and the strongest fortified city in the State of Guerrero. It was de- fended by Don Ignacio Comonfort, a custom house officer there, and with such sitill that Santa Anna found himself obliged to raise the siege, and retreat with disgrace to the capital. The defeat thus igno- miniously sastained by the government gave a tre- mendous impe’us to the revolution, which now broke forth at every quarter, and the principles of which were formulated in the programme known as the Plan of Ayutla—and which was as follows :— PLAN OF AYUTLA.

ALVAREZ) CKBALLOS AND COMONFORT. ‘The first caroof Alvarez, after having accepted the supreme command of the liberating forces, was to take efficient measures for the success of the re- velution. He despatched Comonfort, in who —for bis brilliant detence of Acapuls0—he reposed great confidence, to New York, for the purpose of pro- curing, in concert with ex-President Ceballos, aid and munitions of war. In this, too, he was success ful, the result of the efforts in New York being the despatch to Acapulco of « large quantity of arma and munitions for the use of the revolutionary for 2s. Comonfort returned to Mexico, and received tho ap- pointment of General of Division. Ceballos proceeded to the island of Cuba, there to await events, It was the intention of Alvarez, in case of success, to throw all his weight in favor of Ceballos for the Presidency, o# he esteemed him to be a man fully competent for that position. Ceballos, however, for some reason or other, did not remain in Caba, but under the plea of ill health proceeded to France. This move- ment displeased Alvarez. The o!d warrior could not conceive any reason which world jostify a true friend of the revolotion tn thus withdrawing him- self from the proper sphere of action. He there- fore treneferred his esteen and patroaage from Ce- ballos ‘9 Comonfort, ond resolved to support the latter for the Presidency. in reply to an article peblished in the Hezacn, showing the operations of Ceballos, Comonfort, aud other friends of the revo- Intionary cause, and their meetings and consulta- tions at the Metropcelitan Hotel, in this city, Mr. Ce- hallos addressed to us from Paris the following communication : - Panu, Popt. 12, 1855, TO THE EDITOR OF THE NAW YORK HSRALD.

CEBALLOS. In publishing this letter, we showed that Mr. Cebailos had beea wholly misinformed by his corres- pondent as to the force of the comments we had made in regard to bimself and his cumerous eni- grant Mexican associates in this country; and we repeated in substance what we had said on that oo- casion, viz.: thas Santa Anna had gained power im Mexico by violence and fraud; that be superseded President. Ceballos; that that gentleman refused egain and again to enter into his government, or to receive office or honor at his hands; that he became a revoiutionary exile from his State; that he did neé come alone, but was accompanied by namerous countrymen, all of whom concurred in opinion con- cerning the character of the Dictater's governmeat> that they sympathized with the efforts to overthrew it,and often met at the Metropoliian Hotel—and- that yet, without forming there a plan of revo- lution--which we bad previously published as the work of other men—that plan, and the persons engaged in it, both Mexicans and Americans, were tie subjests of frequent com- versation; and that amoog the number of Mexi- cans at that hotel at the time was no less @ persoa- age than General Comonfort, the distinguished co- adjntaat of Alvarez. We also stated that in view of our own rapid progress and the retrogression of the Mexicans—the manifest identification, of our people with the recent revolution—the great triumph of slavery in Texas—we saw mo way bat to. admit the States of Mexico into.the American confeders- tion, and that if the abolitionists should bupak up the Union, that act would certainly be followed »y the absorption of the States bordering upon the ition Grande into the Southern confederacy. SAL# OF THY MESILLA VALLEY—THE TEN MILLIONS. It was pending the sevolutionary struggle, ana for the purpose of being able to grapple with it, that Santa Anna conceived the idea of selling the Me silla Valiey to this government. If there is one thing about which the Mexican people are more jealous than any other, it is as to the integrity ot” their possessions. And yet, notvithstanding that ioarked featare in their national character (oot theirs exclusively, for it is a universal trait), their territory had been up to that time diminished oy over one-halt. In 1821—previous to the indepen- dence—they possessed 216,012 square leagues of territory. In 1852, after the loss of Texas and the cession of Upper California and New Mexico to the United States, their verritory was reduced to 106,067 equare leagnes. And so, when Santa Anna formed the preject of a treaty with Geo. Gadsden to cede ta the United States the Mesilla Valley, he committed a new and unpardonable outrage against the popular sentiment. But he wanted the money, and determingd, as he could not rule by affection, to rule by force. The treaty was ratified by the Senate of the United States, the consideration having been diminished to ten mil- lions of dollars, seven millions peyable upon the exchange of ratifications, and the other three after the survey and establishment of the boundary line. SENOR AKKANGOIZ AND HI8 COMMISSION. The collection of this seven millions of dollars waa in itself the canse of a very interesting episode in the national drama. General Almonte, the Mexican Minister at Washington, had, without the express instructions of bia government, drawn his warrant on the Treasury for the amount, and had depositea \t either in the Sub-Treasury here or in varioas bapks of this city for safe keeping. This action of bis disconcerted Santa Anna, who feared lest Almonte might, with this large sum of money, em- gage in speculations on his own account, or take come other couree to turn away all or part of it from the national coffers. He therefore himeelf, and through his Minister of the Trea- sury, Senor Olasagarre, wrote in great tre- pidation to the then Mexican Consul Goneral of the United States resident at New Orleans, directing him forthwith to proceed to Washingtoa, procure from Senor Almonte the surrender of the funda and lodge them in his own name as 4 private individual in the most approved banks of New York. And in case Mr. Almonte shonld prove trou- blesome and refuse to thus surrender the fands, this gentleman, Senor Francisco de Arrangoiz, was fur- ished witha commission appointing him Minister Plenipotentiary and Envoy Extraordinary to the United State, vice Mr. Almonte. This commission, however, be was to keep in his pocket and conceal from the knowledge of all persous, unless he found it absolutely necessary to assume the powers therein conferred upon him. That necessity did not arise. Mr. Almonte, though much offended at she evident want of confidence exhibited towards him by his government, handed over the seven millions—minas some $100,000 which he had already disbarsed om account of the government, to Mr. Arrangoiz, who thenceforward assumed the agency and manage- ment of it. He bad first surrendered his consulate, which afterwards passed into the hads of Mr. Rafael Rafaei, formerly editor of the Universal, and who was subsequently entrusted by Santa Anna with another pecuniary mission, which he ts said not to have fulfilled satiefactorily to his patron. In October, 1854, Santa Anna wrote to Arrangoiz, in New York, stating that he bad yielded to General Almonte’s desire to be sent as minister to the courts of Vienna and Naples, and bad, in acknowledgment of bis (Arrangoiz’s) merit and skill, conferred upon: him the ministry to Washington; and he was allow- ed to appropriate $5,000 for the expenses of bie house. Arrangois immediately wrote to Almonte and to the Minister of Foreign Affairs, declining the appointment on the plea of ill health. The real motive, however, of this declination was apparent in afew weeks afterwards, when, in rendering his government an acconnt of the funds entrusted to his charge, there appeared the following ivon:— “For my commission, st I per cent, on $6,939,067 194, $68,300 57.” This commission he could not have charged in his oficial capacity; but he had svrrendered his consulate-general, and had deolin- ed the ambaseadorship, and therefore was, in his private capacity, entitied to charge bis commissio.. A correspondence ensued between him and Santa Apna and the Sccretary of the Treasnry, ia which Arrengoiz, insisted on bis legal right to the com mis. sion. As he refused to pay over this $68,000 odd, a suit was instituted against him here by General Al- monte, in the name of his government, for its reco- very, but before it could be tried Santa Anna was driven from power, and the suit has never been presaed. SANTA ANNA'S SWISS GUARD, In connection with this matter, Arrangoiz pub- lished a pamphlet of cighty pages, dated New York, February 1, 1855, and addressed to his fel- low-citizens and friends. Ia it he exposed Santa Anna's duplicity towards his good friend Almonte, and gave to light ail the communications that had been addressed to him on the subject, inelading those marked ‘private’ and “most private.” Healy another very importent morement et om foot hy Santa Anna—that of rrising thee rer moute of Be pe janine
