So far as American shipping and trade is concerned it is entirely broken up, and our beautifal clipper ships, so very justly celebrated, are obliged to fill up with coolies for Australia or California. They are called passengers, ‘and perbaps they are really so when sent to these two places; but the English and other ships bound to Havana ‘are filled with theee poor creatures, whoare induced to take paseage for some one of the southern Chinese ports, or Manila, and informed that they are going toa Spanish Island. They arrive at Havana and are sold for a term of years, and few or none over quit it alive. This being nearer bome, you may know more of what becomes of them than Ido. Many of the largest mercantile houses will have a hard struggle to hold their own during this war. Noone can see its end, and many wish it had never begun. Even those most anxious for it to begin are now tired of {t. The impression, at first, was that a fow shot and shells would bi Yeh to his knees.

(From the London Times June 4.) ‘We learn that intelligence has been recetved in London ‘of the partial adjustment of the complications in respect to the negotiations with Honduras. President of that republic, General Don Santos Guardiola, bas, we are in formed, ratified the treaty signed by bis minister, Senor Victor Herran, with Clarendon, in London, last year, being @ treaty of commerce and friendabip of the ordinary kind, togetber with the important “ sddidonal “article” which gaarantees the nontrality of the railread through the Isthmus of Honduras. Bat, for reasons which the Hovduras agents in this country do not appear w have been yet made acquainted with, the President has not ratified the convention which, signed at the eame time as the foregoing treaty and by the same functionaries, ides for the transfer, on certain conditions, of the Islands to Honduras, and the cession of certain Of British sovereignty over the Mosquito territory.

This arose from the repudiation vy the Mexicans of certain bonds in which the Spanish government was interested. A person pos- seseed of immenre wealth, and who sometimes Spaniard,and at others as a naturalized Mexican, as cir. cum:tances may make it convenient, is the chief holder of the bonds which the Mexican government choose t) con- sider as spurious. This person is now in Madrid, and is using bis influence with certain parties to push the minis 9 to extreme measures, in the hopes that, in the event of a war, the Mexicans may be compelled to recognise these bonds.

How often within that period have her pro. mises te do her best been accepted as current coin? How often bave internal circumatanees and political convulsions been pleaded by her to other Powers as argumenta ad mise- ricordiam? How often has her weakness ber strength in the case of just claims brought against her, and which she was unable to meet? She should not for- get this when dealing with Mexico. A trouriesome question, and one which may very bably ultimately break off the negotiations, is that of the execution of the treaty for the payment of ish claims. ‘Spain bas, on her side, the plausible, perhaps the rightful argument, that as the treaty was. ‘80 must it be exe cuted.
