The American Minister | at the Court of St. James applied himself to the task in a | most considerate and conciliatory spirit, and the treaty, ns ) Originally red, was creditable to the moderation and i tice Of contracting parties.

Tho Senate have in- troduced words whieh qualify the clause by excluding } British inflaence, a provision which seems to be unneces- sary and impolitic when the long connection which has subsisted between England and tho King of Mosquito is considered. Noxt, the clause which wo | nll bone side grants made by the government of of lands “heretofore possessed by the said and lyimg beyond the limits of the ritory,” is struck out, and also tho article by which Great Britain and tho United States were bind themeclves—in care the republics of Nicaragua and Costa Rica should refuse to accept the arrangements made by the treaty—not to pre nor consent to any other arrangements more favorable to the refusing party or par- ties, These alterations may not be very importavt in themselves; but they nevertheless show the careful and deliberate manner in whiel the Senate bas endeavored counteract Britis intoence, not only in the Mosquito ter ritory, but in Central America generally. In the separate articles which follow the treaty, an alteration has boen made which will perm the extension of slavery to the Bay Islands, a colony which Great Britain, by a recent con- vention, has ceded to the republic of Honduras. The clause, a& it originally stood, was, that the islands and thoir inbabttants of Rustan, &., situated in the Ty of Honduras, having, by a convention dated in 1808, heen constitnted and declared a free territory under tho republic of Honduras, the two contracting partios mutually engage to recognise and respect, in all fntnre time, tho independence and rights o the xald free territory ae part of the republic-of Hond ras.” The convention between England and Honduras e preasly declared that slavery should never exist in t “aid Tree errory. ‘The Renate, however, has intr duced words which provide that the governments of Eng. land and of the United States may recognive the sove- reignty of the Ray Islands in Honduras without bei bound by the express condition of the convention whic prohibits slavery in thore telands, No one can be #ur- prived that when the Supreme Coort of the United States ly pronounces a decision which proclaims that no nan of color can be a citixen of the American repub- free lie the Senate should eadeavor, by every ingenious arti flee, t promote the exien-ion of -lavery in a region #0 re- mote and #0 insignificant #4 the Ruy Islands territory.

Sines thé attack on Canton theChinese have exeeuted enormous works on the Peiho,s river w falle into the Yellow Rea, and by which @ oammunicaion ie maintained with Pekin.

THE EXPECTED, CO-OPERATION OF THE UNIT! STATES WITH ENGLAND—MR., BUCHANAN’S AID IMPLORED, BUT NOT ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL, From the Manchester Guardian, Aprit 17.) It is said, happily not on indisputable authority, that the American government has retused to co-operate with Eng- land in the endeavor to bring the Cantonese and the Impe- rial Commissioner to reason, and to establivh the relations of the foreign residents and merdhants with the Chinese inhabitants and officials upon a satisfactery’ footing. IC this is really the case, the part taken by Mr. Buchanam’s Cabinet. is deeply. to ‘be regreited, The assistance whieh we might have received from the United States squad) in the Chinese waters would not, indeed, havo been ei ‘neceesary or imj it; but it would have been both gsa- Usfactory to the Teelings and serviceable to the interests of this country to the support of the United States in enjoy compelling the Chinese to afford redress for their past of fences, and in placing matters for the futuro in such a po- | sition as may effectually prevent the recurrence of such contests as the. present, the Chinese gov ment found that the three most powerful mations geen at Canton were unanimously resolved take vigorous measures for the repression .of such outrages as those lately perpetrated ey and wero prepared to ingist , conjointly the concession of full and. Seticiel penrenseteoapnat ir repetition, and the establishment of a system which s! insure @ prompt and effectual settlement of all fucure Ee between natives and foreigners, it would ly ve been found that eyen the obstinacy of the Col it empire was not proof against such a combination. It mi ‘bo remembered that the Americans are also interestediin the maintenance of peace and or-ter in the ports openedito foreigners by the government of Pekin; that their trade, a8 well aa ours, suffers by the continuance of the present state of things;’ that the lives of their citizens are quito na much endangered as those of British subjects by the exclu- sive fanaticism of the Chinese. The populace of Canton will care very little whether they immolate a free born Yankee or a subject of her Britannic Majesty; and the rabblo ef neighboring villages, when aroused to frenzy by the appear- ance of a foreign garb in their streets, will care very little whether the inoflensive foreigner whom they hung todeath for presuming to take a walk in the country, was born un- der the union jack or the stars and stripes. The cause is one in which all civilized nations who have any dealings ‘with the Chinese are alike tnterested—the cause of huma- nity and common sense against a ferocious barbarism. It is muoh to be regretted that under such circumstances there should be any doubt as to the sympathies of America. We hope that the report which has reached ue i not only premature, but incorrect, and that no peremal tlL-will (0 thes country which may be entertained by any member of Mr. Bi- chanan’s Cabinet will prevent the President from acting, as be ie imperatively required to act, for the imiorests pt hunmanity and civilization, and for the protection of bis Tallow citizens in China or le pve the Chinese wade, St is manifest that the assent of prica Will be eesential to any thorough arrangement of the dilliculties whieh impede: the commupication between Chinese and foreigners; antl, thisbeing the case, it will be best that thelr course shor © taken atonee, and that Shey stow insist, conjointly with Fngland and France, ona And Satisfactory settlemapt of ull matiers In dispute, and the of such regs tions as may enable the foreign -Powora to pnt a stop to the lawlegs conduct of the Chinese populace aud the prolix excites of officials, Should the government of the United States decline to take part in this good work, it must be dome without their assisiance; but it Would bo more consonant id far-sighted and to take with their national dignity and with policy to adopt a bold and ener; that position and exercise that tercet ip the question entitles them, (From die London Post, April 16.) r] We may aleo mention another fustance of jealation on the pert of the United States government.

What rematen a the that the war in Ch esl eriata, and (question at betiewen England and the Celvattals has altained much than we hare yet been aware of. By a received yesterday from Paris, we learn the nature of the instructions which Lord Figin will have to ebserve, and the extent of the demands which our new Plentpetentiary is to urge in the name of Great Britain upon the Emperor of China. ‘Theee terms comprice net only a renewal of former treaties, by which of course is meant the actaal and full accomplishment of the convention of 1842, recuring the amis of fore} to Canton, but various amy iden. tote of pres compacts. For instance, Lord Fl- gin is to dermand. that for purposes of commerce, nine China ports, instead of five, are to be thrown pen to kuropeans, while diplomatic missions are to be established at Pekin on the same footing as those of Russia. For the sake of providing for the defence ant evourity_ of our trade the Kngli*h government demand the right of esta a ts wherever there are British consuls, and that our shipe of war shail be entitled to enter any Chinese port whatever, ‘Those are rather strong terms, If concede we #ball in- | deed bave effectually planted one foot in China, and commencel the operations which, at so many other points in the East and tho West, have gra. dually resulted in conquest and annexation. — It in that no such demands can be exacted from the Pekin Cabinet without provoking @ moet strenuous resist- ance, to be overcome only by @ and destructive war.
