From a source which we know to be reliable and authentic, we publish this morning a very interesting and important despatch from Wash- | ington touching the present views and purposes of the administration upon our Anglo-Central American relations. It will be remarked from these assurances through our well informed correspondent, that notwithstanding the numerous and various pro- vocations involved in the peculiar American diplomacy of Lord Palmerston for sharp retalia- tions on the part of Mr. Buchanan, the policy of | peace and good will is still his fixed policy. It | is very evident that of late Lord Palmerston himeelf and his government associates have been | bending to the combined pressure of late Euro- pean and American events, and are more than | ever inclined to “ make it all up” with Brother Jovathan. Through a series of years, heretofore, Lord Palmerston’s American diplomacy has betrayed anything but confidence, or good will, | or even good faith, towards this country. The | fanaticism of » Northern abolitionist and the eelf- | conceit of an English cockney appear to have discolored and distorted all his diplomacy with us, upon every iseue against which his anti-slavery prejudices could be brought to bear. Fven the late professions of conciliation and magnanimity promulgated through the Eag- Ish press in his behalf, do not tally with the co- | lant. So mnch the worse for the European which during all the siege received abundant supplies eud reinforcements from the unbeaten ermy in the field. Ween ho read the report of the French Mar- ; shal be found the reason for this course. It was because the Allies, from the moment they left their ships, could only sit down and blaze away. The rumber of animals for all purposes that Mar- shal Vaillant eupplied to bis three hundred thou- sand men in the Crimea during the war, was less than one-half the number which we supplied to our little army of forty-five thousand men in Mexico, for draft and packing alone, to say no- toing of caval:y and other purposes. In this simple fact there lies a world of argument. Tho Frenca army bad courage and skill, powder and ball in sbundauce, but it had no locomotion. John Buli bad the same defect, only more so; and with true British obstiuacy in sticking to what ho does kvow, he carried a rallway to the Crimea. Unfortunately the Russian army would not stand at the terminus of the railroad, but would keep moving. Sebartopol could not skip about, and the railroad was pointed at it, and so it fell. The Frepch journal opens its charge up- | on General Jesup by stating that the | European press received “with unanimous approbation” the report of Marshal Vail- press, for it only goes to make good Gea. Je- sup’s conclusion, that if the European armice “have genius, it is genius in its decrepitude.” | But the Freoch gentleman sets at Gen. Jesup in | a very artistic way, and demonstrates his owa skill in the national accomplishment of the small | sword. Instead of meeting the ponderous truths | that the American General lays down, and giving | them a rebutter, he carries the war into Africa, and endeavors te show that in our operations on temporaneous transactions of English officials in different parts of Central America. But we do not doubt thet our administration is generou-ly disposed to make every allowance for thes» d erepencies, to accept, bona fide, the present ass. ances in bebalf of England, and to st a! the p.v- per time upon her diplomatic overtures io the full- est confidence. The present concillatory tone of the British go- vernment and the British government press, is counted for upon the presumption of any sud- den and newly discovered impulse of love for the institutions and wonderful prosperity of what they eometimes facetiously call the “model re pubiic.” No. This country is the rivel as well England and the desires of her cabinet have been drawn towards their “cousins over the water,’’ it is from the gathering of certain clouds between the Tuileries and St. Petersburg. The late cordial junketings at Paris between the brother of the Czar and the French Emperor, and the patronizing mediation of Louis Napoleon on behalf of Prussia, Switzerland, Denmark, & . foresbadow a Continental league of imperial des- potisms of ominous import to the more liberal and hostile institutions of England. It is evi- dently the ambition of Louis Napoleon to make Paris the mistress of the Continent, and himself the master. To this end he may yet find it con- venient to permit Russia to go on in the indefi- nite expansion ofher Asiatic dominions from the Black 8ea to the Yellow river in China, so that France shall hold the imperial position of the arbiter of Europe. against ber and her popular institutions, the at- tention of England, her sympathies and her hopes In view of this imperial Continental leagae | the Rio Grande in 1846, Gen. Taylor complains of Gen. Jesup’s want of energy and prevision in the same matter of transportation that was dis | ayed in the allied operations in the Crimea. | ‘The reply to this is very simple. Tho Mexican war came upon us without any preparations or appropriations whatever. Gen. Taylor suddenly found himeelt compelled to take the ficld withoat even a preparatory blast of a bugle. But the line of operations on the Rio Grande never the true line of attack against Mexico; it was only @ feint. As soon as we found ourselves involved in the war it was determined at once to take Vera Cruz and march upon the city of Mexico. It was to this lower Une of operation that our whole attention wae such brilliant results. So great was he ia these qualities that, in the style of Jackson, with whom he had long served, he suxpeoded an order of the President to stop the forwarding of horses to Mexico, for which step he was subsequently high- ly complimented. The result proved his wisdom. Gen. Scott was enabled to move with celerity and success, Rapid as this was, Scott, who was ouly fighting to conquer a peace, sod not for territorial conquest, paused repeatedly in his career of victory, in order to negotiate, fearful that be should so completely destroy his enemy that there would be no power with which to treat for peace. We commend to tho organ of Louis Napoleon, and to the French and Eng- lish tacticlans generally, the stady of the adminstrative arrangements for the lower line | against Mexico. It will prove of eminent service to them in their contemplated arrangements for | the Chinese war; and if they should ever again attack the Russian territory, they may be able are naturally attracted to this republic, the only | 4, display some of that rapidity of movement other country upon the globe actively and ef | which characterized the campaigns of the first ficiently co-operating with England to give the | Napoicon.

Actuated by some euch comprehensive reflec- tions as these, and by the desire to extend the fruitful triumphs of peace rather than the bloody glories of war, we are assured that It is the wish of Mr. Bachanan to settle this Central American inbroglio upon the broadest basis and the soand- eet principles. We cannot anticipate the details of his policy im this regard; but we may, perhaps, safely predict that the programme which will be submitted to Congress in Decomber next, will comprehend the independence of each of the Cen- tral American States, their individaal security against all encroachments from without, and all internal revolutionary disturbances; and euch a policy, too, as shall promote the union ofall for the protection of each. Should England cordially consent to joia us in bebalf of some such pro- gramme as this, we may look forward to an eaay nd most satisfactory and beneficial solution of the whole controversy, to all parties concerned, from Honduras to New Granada. At all evente, we can assure the British gov- ernment that the administration of Mr. Buchanan ignoree all unfavorable antecedents of Lord Pal- Robert A. Adams and Charles Tracy.

But still the great fact that England | | fence of Marshal Vaillaat—that is, in accusing | Gen.

The value of the property they will carry with them may be estimated at twenty millions of dollars; but if we take the actual valae of the settlers to the new States where they are going, it will be at least thirty millions more, making fifty or sixty millions of real living valaes about departing from New England to enrich the great empire west of the Alleghanies With such # prospect before them it is no wonder that all the railway stocks in New Englaad are quoted at alow range of prices, and that the Boston journals complain of hard times and dull trade. The exedus from New Eugland, io population and wealth, will be equivaleat to the removal of the whole city of Boston—men, women and children; exclusive, however, of such goms of religion and civilization as the Rev. Mr. Kalloch or the glo- rious Garrison. Raitnoap Drrreciartox.—We reo it stated that a railroad in the Western part of the State— which road cost four millions of dollars—hae been rold for five hundred thousand, or at the rate of about twelve and a half cents on the dollar, Se- veral other roads have heen sold at an equal rate of depreciation, showing very clearly what those are worth that are not actually up for sale. The State of Pennsylvania owns canals which cost forty or fifty millions, and at the lust seasion of tae Legislature they were offered for one-seventh of the original coat; but nobody would have them at that rato. The truth of the matter is that railways are of the greatest benefit to the coun try they pass through—increasing the price of real estate, town and city loty bat as an investment, railwny stock is about the worst property one can havo. Sram ap MErxi00.—Our late advices from Spain and Mexico are approaching ® peace- ful solution, Senor Lafragua, the Mexican Minister to Spain, had left Paris for Madrid; and it was publicly announced that the forces which were being fitted out in the Peninsula would now proceed to Cuba, in order to streagthen the gar- rison of that island. They bad not yet departed from Cadiz, and we shall not be at all surprised if they do not leave Spain. Tho truth is; the stateemen of Europe have entertained a vague feer of Mr. Buchanan since his acceasion to tho Preeidency. The receut speech of Lord Palmer- eton in Parliament upon the New Granada diffi- culty with this country, shows that even he participated in it, and that the wise and pradent course of Mr. Buchanan and Gen. Oass, lately, to- ward New Granada, has removed a weight from hisheart. Gen. Narvaez shared this apprehension; and hence the apparent vigor of his preparations for a quixotic expedition against Mexico, which could only result in the total destruction of the remnants of Spanish power on this continent. Many reasons exist why Spain should not send land apd naval forces at the present time to Cuba, ifher fear of Mr. Buchanan and Gen. Cass is removed: ‘The Spanich treasury is not by any means suffer. ing from plethora, wor is the position of the ex- isting government one that will warrant a dimi- nution of its military force at bome. Besides, the time of year is eminentiy unpropitious for sending European troops to Cuba. Cne-half of them, at least, would die of yellow fever before winter ects in, and the effect of a summer accii- mation upon the other is not at all a desirable thing. Lord Palmerston’s speech will have a sedative effect upon Gen. Narvaez, who will be glad to participate in the new European convic- tion that Mr. Buchanan and Gen. Cass are not going to Oxtendiso Eaglish and Spanish America immediately. Tue Commissioners To Cumva—The Minne- sota is now nearly ready for sea; she will eail aboutthe 10th of Jane, if, asis expected, Mr. Reed, whose convenience she is to await, is prepared for his long voyage by that time. Mr. Reed is now in Wesbington, receiving his final instruc- tions trom the State Department; when are euded he will pay @ stort visit to Philadelphia, after which ho will sail. It is not expected that be will visit Europe on his way, as was at one time intended. Every mail now renders the prospect of a peaceful solution of the Chincse diffioulty more possible. By our last European letters we see that Spain is ficting out a equadron of two ves- sels to operate in conjunction with the maritime Powers in the Chinese seas. We alluded, some weeks since, to the force which the Portuguese | bad cent out to watch over Macao. The Englis ard French expeditions have been on their way some time; Lord Elgin must now be not far from Hong Kong. Simultaneously, we hear that the Russians are operating actively, though as yet wot hostilely, on the northern froutier of China; they are going to send a new embassy to Pekin, and to replace the members of the col- lege at present there. Altogether the Chinese will in a few weeks fiod the whole of the civilized world— France, England, Russia, Spain, Portu- gal, and the United States—knocking at their gates and begging leave to creep in. It is quite likely that the unanimity of so many leading foreign nations may induce the Chinese authorities to come to terms without appeal to force, other than the affray at Canton. There can be no doubt but every one—out of China— wishes the country opened; nothing would be more likely than that the foreign embassadors should join, and endeavor by some combined ex- ertion to sepersede the necessity for a prolonga- tion of hostilities. Ovr Sreamsnirs.—The Vanderbilt has dieap- pointed those who expected her to make one of the crack ocean passages, and the Niagara has suc- ceeded in crossing the ocean in something over eighteen days, during fourteen of which she was under sail and steam. We understand that the astonishing velocity of the Niagara is ex- plained by Captain Hudson's very proper dread of losing his spars; we have no doubt bat tho Vanderbilt would have made as quick a trip as her friends predicted had not her engineer been afraid of overheating her boilers or chaflog hor wheels It is all right os itis; and people who want to grumble will be eo good as to hold their peace. We hope, however, we may inquire what be- comes of the Collins steamer Blank, commanded by Captain Blank, which leaves on Wednesdays, at blank intervals, from the foot of Canal strect, and on board of which passengers are earaestly requested to have their luggage by an early hour in the morning. Is there any such steamer? Does she really leave? Or would the pasenger who sent his luggage down in compliance with the advertisement, find himself even blanker than the gallant ship and her noble commander, Cap- tain ——? Tt reaily looks a4 though the control of the ocean was departing from us, and be- ing securely vested in foreign nations England is crowding the Atlantic with steamers | of all sizes and models, from the Great Eastern downward. Her screws bid fair, at no distant period, to movopolize the traffic of the ocean, and, of course, in like manner, to sweep it in case of war. France enters the lists with three transatlantic lines, to which the State grants 14,000,000 francs subvention, nearly $1,000 000 per annum per line, Even Sardinia, Spain and Holland are on the track. We alone seem to be stationary. The policy of those Western and Sonthwestern members of Congress, who have obtained from the United States millions of acres of lands for the develope. ment of their country by means of railroads, has always been to discountenance appropriations for ocean steamships, on the ground that they were monopolies, in their natare opposed to the public interest. By this dog in the manger system, while they helped themselves to all they wanted, they ruined the prospects of our steam marine They induced the Post Office and Congress to re fuse eppropriations in aid of steamers, aod the consequence is the decay which we see. It will take some private energy and enterprise to raise the United States to the position she ought to occupy. ill diacettaa Tonxixe Ur on rue Orner Stpe.— We see that “John J. Dillon, Beq,” is the chairman of a committee at Tammany Hall, appoiated by the Sachems to prepare a plan to upset the regular democratic committee of that ilk—otherwise call ed the Wilson Small Committee. This is very droll. John J. Dillon was one of the midoight epirits who met at the Astor House last wiater, and concocted some of the recent atrocious acts of legielation which have created eo much diffical- ty here. He has been with the black republi- cans in all these recent unconstitutional measures, and hy way of requital was appointed by Go- vernor King one of the “ forty Commissioners, ” whoee duty it is to take away the rights and liber. Hes of this Through a back window Seward and Weed have got their heed and eboul- dere into old Tammany’s eeoret council oham- ber, and will soon get in thelr legs and boots Complete. It will then be time for the “old de- mooracy”’ to move to new quarters up town, and follow the course of trade, now ideas, and other improvements of the age. Ramzoap Frvaworgas.—Our old friend, ex- Seoretary Maroy, is at Albany, patching up his private affairs previous to his departure for London, as resident financial agout of the Michigan Southern and Northern Indiana Rail- roed Company. This company have just issued ® guaranteed, preferred, condensed ten per cent etock; and having, under the operation of the Peter Funk game, induced large eul here, are anxious to get Jobn Bull to take a small lot for permanent investment. The re served a portion of this grand isene for foreign capitalists; but as it is pot eo certain that they will take it, the services of ex-Secretary Marcy bave been engaged to convince the incre- dulous of the safety and profitablencss of thie new investment. The ealary of the ex-Secretary will of course be large, for the Michigan South- ern Railroad Company is known to be very rich and very liberal. The real interests of the stockbo!ders have not, we are sorry to say, been 80 much considered in this instance as in the lesue of the three million of guaranteed, preforred, ten per cent stock. The outfit, salary and perquisites of ex-Secretary Marcy might have been all saved. The greatest financier of the age—no less a genius than P. T. Barsum, Esq — isin London or Paris, out of an engagement; and as he is just the man the Michigan Southern Railroad Company want, there is nouse in send- ing out Marcy." Barnam knows exactly all the ropes of ancient and modern financiering. He has not lost a jot of his tact or talent for nego- tiatirg, and can beat Marcy in any flaancial ope- ration he may attempt. It is, therefore, perfect folly to send out Marcy when Barnam is oa the very epot. In every particular Barnum isa better man for the Michigan Southern Railroad Company than Marcy. It is well known in Wall street that broken down politicians make micera- ble financiers for railroad companies. British capitalists do not like the breed, and put them off with pretty promises. Now, Barnum is a sbrewd, practical man, and would be just in his element in negotiating for the sale of Michigan Southern Railroad stock. There is just humbug enough about it to call forth all his natural in- etincts and give him renewed vigor. It is a pity for the success of this railroad company’s schemes that the Albany clique of stock speculators and financiers cannot put Marcy tosome other use just now. The company cannot, however, rescind the appointment, It is now, we fear, too late. Something like three thousand shares of this Michigan Southern guaranteed, preferred, con- densed ten per cent stock was taken in Albany, solely for the purpose of pensioning off Marcy, atthe expense of the old stockholders of that company. Mr. Oaxey Harx—Waar or run Nioat?—A tew wecks ago the amiable District Attorney published an amiable card for the benefit of his emiable friends, the burglars and chevaliers d’in- dustrie, suggesting that the disorganization of the police afforded them an excellent chance to pursue the duties of their vocation. Since that publica- tion the District Attorney has been silent—we haven't heard a word from him. Now we call upon Mr. Oakey Hall to let us koow all about the matter, and give us what evidence he has In the organ of the District Attorney, the other day, there was a clear intimation to the burglars to levy at once upon the property of our wealthi- est citizens—the Grinnelis, Astors, Vanderbilta, George Law, and others of the same stamp. We thould like to have all the particulars for the action of Mayor Wood and the immortal Matscll, in order that they may arrest the guilty parties; and if, in the onslaught to be made by the so- called illegal police under the authority of Napo- leon Wood aad Mateell, they should happen to find, in their haul of thieves, burglars, pickpock- ets and scoundrels, a District Attorney or a little villain, they would catch as great a prize as would have been obtained by the Costa Ricans if they had seized General Walker, instead of allow- ing him to go to New Orleans. Let us have light, Mr. Hall. New Banyxs Gore myto Oreration.—In Penn- eylvania a whole shoal of new banks has been created, and they are about going into opera- tion, increasing the circulation of paper money, widening speculation and augmenting prices and the measure of valaes. It is probable that in the whole country the bank capital will be increased this year fifty or sixty millions, which will give one or two hurdred millions more of credits, thas increasing the tendency of the times and hasten- ing the coming crisis and revulsion.

OBNTRAL AMBRICAN AFFAIRS—LATE EVMNTS—a?Tt- ‘TUDE OF THE ADMINISTRATION TOWARDS BNGLANB —TBE BUSINESS TO BE REFERRED TO CONGKESA, WITH 4 DOOR STILL OPBN TO 4 FRIBNDLY gurrLe- MENT, ETO., ETO. Wasmngton, May 29, 1867 ‘The news of the filibuster col'apee and of the evaoua tion of Nicaragua by Walker, has produced in our dipte matic circles here quite a lively sensation. The scovm- papying important ramor of the ceasion by New Granade of the Panama Islauds to Engiand—the very ivlauds whiob Commissioner Morse bad beon imstructed to purchase, if Possible, as « United States naval depot—has also given & new impulse to our Cabinet in reference to the whole Ces tral American controvoray. It ts supposed that the Now Granadian governmems adopted this expedient of liquidating the English Melman. claim by the cession of the aforesaid islands, as the res diest way of eecaping an application from Mr. Morse, aad asa check against any futare Walker incursion by way of the Panama California route. The Cabinet, however, are dis posed to walt for the official facts in the case before they again ventilate the genoral subject. It is stated that sometime ago the Secretary of Sate, Gen Cass, had progressed to the extent of forty or Ohy pages of manuscript, in the way of a reply to # late appa- cation of Lord Napier for the re-opening of negotiations upon Central American affairs. These forty or fifty pager covered a wide field ef criticism in relation to the Central American complications and diffienities, past and preseat, between the United States and England. But these more recent political evonts in Central Amorica, extending from Honduras to Panama, have led to a reconsideration of thie reply ot Gen. Cass, and I now understand that tt will be reduced to a brief technical and conventional recapitale- on of the salient poluts of the controversy as it now stands, leaving otherwise the whole subject in satu gue till the meoting of Congress. ‘The President, in the meantime, be {t unddretood, pays more individual attention to the diplomacy of the State Department than many would sup pose from the pressure of his oumerous Other Oficial duties. And, as in duty bound, it t the pleasure and pride of General Cass to give the agcend- ency, not to his own views, but to those of the Presiden, to whom the responsibility belongs. In this spirit Genera Cass will complete his official reply to Lord Napier, proba- bly im season to go out to England by Saturday’s steamer. And, as before said, while waiving, on our part, all further decisive negotiations during the recess of Congress, the British government will be assured of the friondly incline tions of the administration, and that in submitting this Cen- tral American entanglement to Congress, the President wild yet leave vpen the door to a pacific and mutually satisfac ‘ory compromise with England. ‘The Central American question, {n its whole oxtent, will thus, I have reason to believe, oocupy the foreground as the principal feature of the President's annual message to the two houses; and while the sovereign righis and locad Interests of the Central American States, and the honor and Gignity of our own country, will thus be maintained, there will be a prevailing spirit of compromise and pacification in the President's suggestions, eminently conducive peace and harmony on all sides.
