This is what the country expects of Mr. Buchanan, and without any knowledge of his determination in the matter, this is the course, we doubt not, he will adopt. and the United States, Tbe recent co-operation speech of Lord Napier is made the text by the French press for a series of comments upon the manifest growth of good feeling between the United States and ivagland, acd the leading journals of Paris are filled with astozishment that Lord Palmerston should, as they term it, have given in his adhesion to the “American doctrine of manifest destioy.” Even the Constitutionnel is surprised at the “reciprocal sentiments of Jona Bull and Brother Jonathan,” and recites a list of past disputes between them with a tone and maoner that ehow it does not more than half like the new order of things. It cannot, it says, “perceive the motives of the sur- prising manifestation of Loid Napier, All this display of extraordinary friendship procecds not from @ moral resemblance, but from commercial interests;” and, recognizing the fact that Eng- land cannot do without American produots, and that a war with us would rain British commerce, for atime, atleast, asserts its belief that these “ponds of friendship are not chains of flowers, but simple twists of cotton which supply the Manches- ter market.” The bigh source from which the Constitutionnel draws ita inspirations renders its remarks worthy | of more than a passing notice, and for this reason We leara from Washington that the adminis. declination to re-open negotiations, for the pre- sent, on the overtures emanating from the British Cabinet respecting the Central American question. Jn replying to the Dritish Minister's note on this subject, General Cass was disposed to go into a foll relation of the grounds and difficulties in this imbroglio; but upon Cabinet consultation the communication was reduced to a simple and | terse recital of the points. It would seem from our information that it is not probable negotia- tions with England on this subject will be re- opened until she recedes from the unwarraatable | positions she bas taken toward several of the | Central American States; and should Lord Pal- | merston decline to do this during the present | summer, the whole subject,it is supposed, will | be submitted to Congries by the President, and thie country will proceed to take such action in | the matter as may be required by ouw increasing travel there and the necessity of protection to the transit interests of the whole world. The whole course of the British government in | relation to Belize, Mosquitia and the Bay Islands bas been founded in an erroneous policy.

The whole philosophy of its argumest lies in the assumption that “moral re- semblances,” and not “commercial interesis;” | “chains of flowers,” and not “twists of cotton,” | coustitute the strongest ties ef amity aud good | will between nations, But this isa theory of | politics coincident with the Aristotelian philoso- | phy and the practice of the feudal ages, whencivil- ization was not as yet developed in its practical attainments. Since Bacon has displaced Aris- totic, and the world has acknowledged that the proper measure of philosophy is its practical ap- | plication to the material benefit of mankind, the | ecience of government has changed; and now it | stands only upon the basis of the material in- | terests of the nation. Commerce is king in more | senses than one, and the world is fast learning | that the foundations of its rale are best cemented in the developement of industrial interesis at | home, rather than in the old theory of “ships, colonies and commerce.” It is because the statesmen of England have been forced to admit these truths that they have given utterance to the sentiments which the French journalists find so strange upon the lips of Palmerston and Napier ; but if they will look at home they will find that the same law of interests exiets, and that there is much less difference than they have supposed in the relations which Lyons holds to the policy of France and that which Manchester holds to that of Eagland. It is spme time since the walls of St. Cloud were startled with the utterance of the theory that orders from the United States for goods were much more effec- tive in repressing the revolutionary tendencies of Lyons than were orders from the Tuileries for military movements. Besides that, they are much more advantageous to the State—for, in- stead of drawing money from the treasury, they bring revenue to it. If the French journalists will look into the statistics of their commerce, they will find that the United States consumes more of the vintage of France, and of the fabrile products of Marseilles, Lyons and Paris, than all the nations of the Continent together; that a accept the cooditional retura of the Bay Islands, of which she bad been despoiled without a sha- , dow of right, and in flagrant violation of the falling off in our demands upon her vineyards and her looms is immediately fellowed by discon- day, bot transacted no business of importance. | *tipulations of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty, is as- | tent at home, and great anxiety and expenditure Some action relative tothe vacancies in the Boerd sumed to be sufficient warrant for the erection of | by the government. will probably be taken at the next meeting.

We advise Mayor Magruder and his friends to laugh at all this; and we coun- sel the native Americans of Washingtou and Bal- timore to pretend they don’t know anything or care anything about the Plug Uglies. There is no credit or honor to be derived from an acquaint- ance with euch ruffians. It does not appear, from the published ac- counts, that Mayor Magrader is really responsi- ble for tha volley which killed the rioters. The Marines do not seem to have waited for an order from him. But if he had ordered the fire, and twice as many men had been killed as were killed» it would be an event rather to glory in than to be ashamed of. The epirit of lawleseness, insubordination, riot and rowdyism has reached a point in our large cities that is dreadful to contemplate. Nothing will prevent the absolute enthronement of anar- chy not only here but in other cities too but such bloodlettings as that at Washingtoa. They will answer when nothing else can.

With the retirement of Captain Tyler, Mr. Jones retired from the public eye; and we had given him up long ago as gone to Cali- fornia, Australia or Utah, never more to return. But he turns up in 1857 in Philadeplphia, about as good as new, and has undertaken the impor- tant enterprise of a Southera paper in that city, wherewith to open the eyes of the Quakers to the importance of cotton, the price of niggers, aud the folly of abolition agitation. We shall next, perhaps, hear that Captain Tyler is up again for the Presidency. Affairs in W: THE CENTRAL AMSRICAN QUSSTION—REPLY OF GENERAL Ca83 70 LORD NAPIER—DECLINES POR THE PRESENT TO RE-OPEN NEGOTIATIONS—POLIOY OF MB. BUCHANAN—PREPARATIONS OF GENERAL CASS FOR A GAY TIMS AS THE HEAD OF THE STATS DEPAR?MENT. Wasarvaton, June 9, 1857. A few days before General Cass left Washington he completed his repiy to the proposition of Lori Napier for the ro-opeuiog of negotiations upon Central American af- faire, and this reply was transmitted to his lordship last Moaday week. The document covers some twelve pages of mavuscript, being the cream of the original draft of forty or fifty pages. Thus, ina few bold strokes the salient points in controversy are reviewed and the reasons given for the deciination of the government w re- open negotiations for the pre sent upon the propositions ad- varced.- Lord Napier {s somewhat perplexed to conjecture the ultimate drift of this Une of policy. I do not profess to kpow the intentions of the President, for untt! he bas ‘well considered his purposes he keeps them very close, and it is very probabie that General Cass bimsel’, being ofin the West, knows as little in this respect as the British Minister; out stili we are not debarred the privi lege of forming our own comclusions. Without the aid, therofore, of a spiritual medicm, or any other supernatural revelation, I think it may be pretty safely inferred that until the British government shail have receded from its colonization assumptions in Honduras, and {row its Mos juito protectorate pretens ons, absolutely and in good faith, no overtures for detinitive negotiations upon Central American affairs will be taken up by Mr. Buchanan, But when Lord Palmerston shall say, we abandon our Mosquito Iadian protectorate, aod our claims and pretensions of jurisdiction of every sort in re- ference to those Indians and the Mesquito coast—we recede from ail claims of jurisdiction, and from al! colonial acts, pretensions or designs in any part of Honduras and the contiguous Bay Islands—and we recede absolutely and en- tirely from ail acta or designs of colonization, occupation or local control of any part of the main land of the Central American States, or of the rivers, bays, coasts and ts!ands thereof—our administration will be open to conriciion ‘With the way thas cleared, in fact there wil! be no fur- ther difficulty in negotiating for the commercial eafety, freedom and protection ef the five or six Isdamus transit routes, Tn the Interval to the meeting of Congress Lord Palmer. sion will have ample time fora decision upon thie very probable proliminary sine qua non. Should he decline to meet it, I havo no doubt that the President, on the re-assembling of Congress, will lay the whole care before the two houses, and with such recommendations a4 will sustain the honor, dignity and good faith of our government before the world, whatever may be the com- Plications and difficulties removed from, or added to, the nal settlement of the controversy with Eogland. It bas been rumored that owing to his declining bealth Gea. Cass will soon retire from the State Department, and that Governor Walker will step into his echoes. A! the circumstances touching this matior, however, will astify a different couclusion. Gen. Cass haa leased for two or three years two large houses ia Washington for the use of is family. During his sojourn at Detroit he wii! see to the packing up of his hourehold gods, including many fiae palat ings, statues, Ac., coliected by his son in the course of the three or four years of his official residence in Iinl7, His two houses thus farnished, and presided over by an av complished daughter, will become the scene, during the next dipiomatic season, of the most recherché diplomasic en. tertainments, Tho son of the old Genoral, in the mean time, may return from Rome, and also take up his quar- ters in his father’s establishment, which will be another desirable acquisition to these contemplated diplomatic nad | ocial reunions Of our venerable Premier. 1 think, there- fore, that be has no intention of resigning but should he | resign, Mr. Cobb, and not Mr, Walker, will be the man moet Likely to take his place.
