[From the London Post, Nov. 24.) From recent information it appears extremely probable that two matters counected with the condition of affairs in Central America are about to eceupy a large share of the attention of the public, beth in Europe and the United States, We of course allude to the celebrated Monroe doctrine, and to the scarcely teas celebrated Clayton-Bul- wer Convention, which, though ved in 1850, and rubso- quently rat.tied by the two governments, successive Cabi- nets at Washington hove up to the present time managed on various pretences altogether to ignore aud repudiate. We Grst apply ourselver tothe Monyoe doctrine, It will be recollected that the Britieh government declined to be ® party to the Congress held at Verona im 1922, whieh ultimately led to the arme’ the sanction of the Holy Alliance, in the internal Spain, and to the overthrow of the Spanish constitutional Cortes. At that time wer wees carried on by Spain againat her revolted colonics in America, and the fietsh govern. ment not only protested againet the French invasion in the pentosula, but declared tte determination to remain strictly Geutral in the contest; adding, that if any foreign Power should join with Spain in an enterprise againet her colonies, “eich interference, either by or menace, would be considered by Ragland as a motive for recogniz ing the indeprndence of the latter withoat delay.” The step thus boldly taken by Mr. Canning was the first de- parture from the principles of the Hoty Alliance—prinei- ples which had always been extremely unpeputar in this country. The government of the United Statee, influenced uy the fame Views ns Mr. Canning, declared that it should consider any attempt on the part of the allied European Powers to extend their peculiar political rystem to the American continent as dangerous to the peace and safety of the United States. Pre. ident Monroe iw bis mnensage to ( the 24 of December, 1825, laid down the doctrine which has generaliy beon shortly described in those words “The North American continent for the Americans.” What Mr. Monros said was. Our policy in regard to Europe, which was adopted at au early ago of the wars which have so long agitated that quartor of the globe, nevertheless remaine the same, which is, not w interfere im the internal concerns of any of its Powors—to cons.der the gevorument de facto ax ihe legitimate government to cultivate friendly relations with it, and to preserve those relations by « frank, firm and manly policy meeting in ali instances the just claims of every Power—submitting t injuries from none. But with regard t these continents cireumetances are eminently and conspicuously diferent. It is im pore bie ailied Powers should extend their — kystem to any portion of either contineat withoat oni ing our peace and happiness. Nor can we be Hheve that one Southern brethren, if left to themselves, would adopt it of thetr own accord. Mt is equally impos sible therefore that we should behokt euch interposition in any form with indtiference.”’ The doctrine as origimally jad ah Mr. Monroe was aay, & protest against the extension of the principles of the Holy Alliances to any por Hon of the two continents of America. But since the year 1828 ti has reccived a much larger and much more definite moaning. The entire policy of the United States in Toone imerica has tardy iow of Mr. ‘but poor and insuffictoat reparation. Mut Jet Gs compare the Monroe doctrine aa laid down in 1903 With it# present ayptioation t the Cityton-Balwer con voution. In 1860 the expediency of opening a eoanavot cation across the Jethmes of Panama wae amatuer which epgaged the atteution of commercial nin in Karop: and the United States. The feasibility of the route through the river and Sikes of Nicaragua had before that tine heon pointed out by the present Rmperor of the French. With a view te thie important enterprise, Sir 1 Bat wer, then Brith Minietor at Washington, ani Mr. Clayton, the American Secretary Of State, on the 1%h of prit, 1860, signed a convention Which recite? that, for the purpose of setting forth “the views and tntentions of the two governments with reference to any moans of commnnication by ship canal Betwoen the Atlantic aud Pacific oreans by way of the River San Juan de Nicaragne, of the lakes of Nigaragan, to any port or plaré on the Pacific ocean,” Great Brita and ihe United States declare that “ neither one nor ‘the other will ever obtain or maintain for iteelf any exclusive oontro) vver the said ship canal; fT soem ‘hat neither wil ever erect or maintain any fortiticavion wanging the same or in the vicimty thereof, or ocea- vy, we or CoWMise, OF U88UTY UF exercise any domtin- on over Nicayagna, Costa lied, the Mosquito coast, or any vart of Central America.” The fifth article guarantoss we neutrality of the route, and ty a further article othor Atates ore invited (o enter into sinilar stipalations.

Next, there is the prospect of annexation and (he extension of slavery, by means’ of filibuster. ing expeditions, and oligo the internations! operation of the Monroe doctrine én its new and more comprehen rive interpretation, from Texas down to the mainland of the Southern continent. We trust that this unworthy and selish poliey will be defeated. A British squadron has now been ardeved to assemble ab Fanama, ond us presence will do much to restore peace and t unquillity in that part of the world. It ws said also that Lora Napier has been recalled, in consequence of his having not supiciently objected 0 the Monrow doctrine. Wc must al- ways bO extremely inconvenient to have two ministers accredited to the same State, and perhaps in the rmportan questions affecting Central America Lord Napier and W. Gi, Ouseley may not hare followed preaively the sanve tine of policy. lt 8 quite porsibie, however, that the recall of the pobie Jord is to be attributed to that desire to make tnd to reward political partisans whieh in every depart ment of the goverminent, and especially In the diplomatic . er has characterized the admiuistration of Lord erby. (From the London Herald (government organ) Nov. 25.) Some peopie give thems¢ives an extraordmary amonnt os trouble in propagating errer and in publishing false couclugions. Such persons are the bugboars of free States, They take advantage of the liberty of the press border to create a prejudice against those wielding au- thority. There is no extremity to which these wortbies will not proceed. The difficulties that have for some time prevented the settlement of the Central Ataerican question afford them just the kind of subject in whiea thoy deartit. Complications have long existed, and ta their idea sore thing worse may arise, Consequently they go to work with alaerity, and puzzle their braigs in coucocting abeurd romors. One of bere gentlemen assures the pablic that 4 jomt note has been presented i the government of tle United States, by France and England, ad another pretends that he bax read the despatches written by certain diplomatiets. The jiret statement we have reason to hnow is altogether wrony, and. we can only say thee if the latter Sir Oracle has access, as he pretends, to diplomotir pa pers, the fact shows that there is a grave neglect of duty somewhere, We are inclined to regard the assertion aa a vain boast, the informa ion with which it is accompanid being absurdly erroneous. We btated on Monday last, with reference to this deli- cate question, that although attempts bad been made represent antagonism in the policy pursued, there was nothing of the kind, and we showed that the utmost harman between France, Englant and the Unitet States prevarle They have all ‘one object in view, namely, to olkain the best means of transit across the tethmus. The Frouch go vernment have, we beliewe, no particular penchant tor M. Belly. In common with Pugland aud the United States, they wish the route established as gpecdily® as possible. This ts the great object of ali the parties con cerned. Let the means of commmnication be throwo open quickly, and protected when completed. There can be no necessity for a joint nove inthe matter. France and England can act indepeadently, though with the same view, and this is the course pursued by the government of the United States. This is evident from the stringent proclamation against Waiker and his associates bronght by the last J. In the interests of commerce and civili- vation it is becessary that the construction of the means of trausit should be no lopger delayed. Whether an Eng lish, a French, or an American company undertake the work is not of the slightest once. An American company Was suppored LO have accepted the contract, of which it is reported not to have fulfilled the conditions. Be this as it may, the chief thing is to have the thing done, and by whom it may be exectited is @ point of minor importance, fRaris (Nov. 22) correspandence of the Landon Post] the proclamation of the President of the United States: against the projects ot Walker, the tivbuster, is strongly approved by the Constiutionnel, but that journal expresses at the same time its astonishment that such an adven. torer could have been permitted to continue his culpabl > schemes so long without being severely punished by ths government of the Union. While attributing Mr. Bu- chanapn the most straightforward jutantions and a real de. sire to prevent any further attack on Nicaragua, our eon- temporary remarks that la Europe tho feeling is genorat ‘that Mr. Buchanan would have acted sti] moro satisfacto- rily bad he manifested his gentiunents by acta rather than by word. The following is an extract from the aeticle’—~ veverthelew#, we may ask how the exscutive govern. ment, when it had Walker in its power, did not hasten to act ip conformity with the sprit of the proclamation’ How ip it that the chief Glibuster, against wi the Prosident: himself could publicly draw up such an indictment, has not been provecuted?

Rursian War. His reception at court, aud also the liant reception given bim at his own birthplace, as weil ag at the different public ass mbier, must ) ta our recollection. It was Aomiral Lyons who was selected for the command of tha squadron which avcompanied ber Majesty to Cherbourg. Statesmen have not hesitated to heapon him the highest encomiums, and weil they are deserved. The gabaut admiral has kerved bis country traty and fevthsuily, amd that country is not insensibie of hia great and valawble servives. England bas fost a hero; glory be to bis memory! {From the Londen Tinoes, Nov. 25.) * * * & * 3 * He it was who orgapized and conducted the expedition tothe Crimea, prepared the means of landing, and st perintended all so closely thet, “im his eogerness, he left Dut sox inctes between the kecl of bis uoble ship and the ground below it.” Not only in this matter of the trans port of the troape, but alsa ia every subsequent stuge of the expedition, Sir Kdinund Lyons gave the most valuable peristance to Lord Raylag and his auccessors. How at tLe battle of the Alma he spported the Preach army by bringing tho pune of his etyy to bear on the left flank of the Russians, and what a conspicuous part he took with the Agamemnon on tbe first bombardment of Se- Hastopel, are incidemts trevh in the recollection of all. But he had more do in the way of advice end of encouragement than the publhe ever heard of. Day after day be mht have been seen on bis eray pony hovering about te English lines on the heights of Seba he was present at Baluklava, and he was present at Inkermann. It was thos that, baving con- veyed our soldiers t0 the Orimea, he saved them from being compelied to leave it—bailled, if not vanqnished. A day or two efter the battle of Balaklava Sir Bimund Lyons, ou landing, learned to bi astonishment thi orders bad been iseued to the Naval Brigade to em- bark es many guna as possible during the day, for Balaklava was to be evacuated at night—of course, ur- vender ing to the enemy the ion of the guns. On bes own responsibility the Admiral at once put a py bo the exrcution of this order, and went in search of Lord Ragian, who, it appears, had come w the reso. lution of abavdoning Balsklava in conscouence of the saga arp age by the engineors that after the loss 0 t rear, lavely held by the Turke, we ought to concentrate our strength on the plateau. Tak’ Loid Raglan aside, Sr Edmund Lyons strongly these views; he pointed out that the ad position in ia vent ctseaiphioroea tm eseordanes with tne ad ly Oecupied, with the ad- vice of those very ‘aoers, aud in FAmund, who had auggested at the that they were covering too much ground; he argued that, as the engi- neers had been mistaken vnee, they, it be Wrong agen; and he clinched his argament by say! that, whatever might be the value of bis opinion in such a case, he Was, at all events, entitled to pronounce an opinion as our base of operations, and the army waa saved from what might have proved an ingtorious defeat, if not a tor. rible diaster, ‘This, as we have said, was perhaps the most important of all the services rendered by the Ad- mira, and he well deserved the swerage which it earned tor him. We heve only further to state that in 1614 Lord Lyons married Augusta, second danghter of Captain Josias Ro- gers, royal navy, and by thie lady be had wo sons aad two daughters. Of the daughter®, one is now Dutchers of Norfolk ; the otber is Baroness de Wurtzburg.

Oo the 12th inst, by the overland mail, I forwarded intelligence of the loss of the ship Lacas, which struck on al Rock, near the South Farralones, two days before, and became a total loss, There were about two handred. pai ors from Victoria on board, about twenty of whom were drowned. The Lucas left Victoria Oct. 22, bound for this port. At half-past two o'clock on the morning of the 10th inst., in a thick fog, wind lignt, from the north- cart, she struck heavy on the South Parralones, about thirty miles from Sap Francisco. About an hour after striking the ship filled with water, and sunk up to the fore- yard and commenced going to pices. The Herald of the 12th inst. gives the following part) culars of the wreck: The pasrengers were landed in boats and by ropes at- tached to the shore, there being a beavy surf on at tbe (tne, when they were al! landed except 22.
