THE CENTRAL UQIIUI UllTI8IÜ . SPEECH OF HON. WM. SEWARD, la the Senate af take tJaltea State Jam. 81 is.,(i.

Ma. Prrsidsnt: I desire to concentrate the attention of the Senate and of the country upon the Central American question; therefore I pass over the controversy nbout Mr. Crampton's violation of our neutrality laws, as I do the more (feneral topio of the Monroe doctrine, both of which subjects have been elaborately discussed by the Senator from Michigan. Th President of the United States baa caused our ease to be fully and ably pregented, and Great Britain has ezplicity refused to comply with our demands. It belongs now to Congress to determine the course which the country shall pursue. It is necessary therefore, to review our position. If it is right, we cannot recede without dishonor, never to be incurred. If it is wrong, we cannot recede too soon. If we ihall not lecede, we may involve our country in no common war an evil to be avoided, if possible, consistly with duty. I shall, therefjre, take caro not to say, consciously, anything that might tend to indame our country or to exaaperate Great wrtitain. It is no question of pel sons or of partiei, nor is it even a aomcitio question. Therefore, I shall refrain now, as I did when I spake to it before, from bringing any pergonal or partisan or domestic subjeot into the debate, no matter who shall invite or who shalll provoke to such a course. Tbe treaty was fuily ratified on the 4th of July, 1860. It recites the purpose of the parties, namely to consolidate amicable relations, by sotting forth and fixing their mutual views and intentions concerning any interoceanic canal that may be construct ted by the way of tbo river San Juan, and either one or both of the lakes of Nicaragua or Managua. The stipulations which come most directly under review on the present occasion, are; "Art. 1. Neither party willuvor obtain or maintain for itself any exclusive control over the contemplated canal. Neither will ever orect or maintain any fortification commanding the same or the vicinity thereof. Neither will oroupy or fortify, or colonise, or assume or exercise any dominion over Nicaragua, Costa Kioa, the Muaquito Coast, or any part of Central America. "Neither will use nny protection which cithfir affords or mav afford, or any alliance which cither has or may have to or with any stats or.'people for the purpose of erecting or maintnining any Buch fortification, or of occupying or colonising Nicaragua, ('oet a Rica, ths Mosquito Coast, or any part of Central America, or of ssauming or exercising any dominion over the same. "Neithor will tako advantage of any intimacy or use any alliance, connection or influenee that either may possess with any State or people through whose territory the canal may pass, for the purpose of acquiring or holding, directly or indirectly, for its own oitixens or subjects, any unequal rights or advantage! of commerce or navigation, jj "Art. 4. The parties will use their influenoe with any State or States, or Governments, poaseaaing or claiming juiisdiction or right over tbo territory through which the canal hlmll paaa, lo induce them to favor its construction, and to use their good offices whenever or however it may be most expedient, to procure the establish ment of two free ports, one at each end of the canal. "Art. 6. Ths parti s lo invite every Stats in friendly intercourse with both or either of them to enter into stipulations simitar to those contained in this treaty, so that all other Statee may share in the honors and advantages of having contributes! to tho con struction of ths contemplated eanal. And each of the contracting parties shall enter into treaty stipulations with auch of the Central American State its they may deem advisable, for the purpose of carrying out tho object of the treaty, namely, the construction and maintsinsnee of the canal ss g ship canal between the two ocean, for the benefit of mankind. "Art. 7. Ths paitMadotormino to givo their support and encouragement to the person or company who shall first oiler to build tho cnnal with the nstfsiary eapit.tl and the content of the local authorities and to any auch company, Already existing, as may havti a oontraet which it justly unobjectionable to the parties. "Art. 8. The partioa declare that, bealdea the particular purpose of the ttWtty before stated, they have the further and broader object to establish a general principle; and so they agree to extend their protection, by treaty stlpulationa, to any other practicable communications, whether by canal or railway, across tho Isthmus and ospooially to those contamnlated to be msile by tho ways of Tebaontepcc mid Panama" It wmb great treaty, sublime in its conception, generous in its spirit and bonottciont in its purposes. The two rival members of tho Uritish family, after long and angry alienation, met, not within the territory of either, but on that foreign and narrow Isthmus which, while it unites North and South America, divides tho vigorous Atlantic States of Europe and Amerion from tbo immature American Htates and the decayed Asiatic nations which, on opposite coast, overlook ths broad Pacifictl e last remaining one of the harriers which nature had erected to hinder the restoration of the unity of the human raoe. How were they changed since they had last met iu cunlliot! Tbe elder

had grown richer, Atrjnger, and more

imperial than ever before. The younger had reached a higher and more palmy state than any one of years so few had over before Attained. They were no longer unequal, but each w. s dominant, although in a eeperate sphere. The one, by the presence of its mercantile marine and its armed navy kepi the nations of the East in their places; the other, by the mere influence of its opinions and its laws was supreme among the new r nations of the West. They met on that important strait, not to contend together tor dominion over it, nor yet to combine together to siexe and divide an exclusive dominion there, but to mukc it free to each other, and equally free to all mankind. They met in the presence of the feeble and contentious republics which the influence of their own institutions had perhaps too sot.n orgnniied out of the ruins of Spanish despotism in America not ts overthrow and subjugate those republics, aad telle the domaint which tbey could not hold, but to fortify them and guaranty their possession to them forever. It it not the pretent, but tho future, that stamps upon human transactions their truo and lasting character. Higher than tho fame of Ablncourt, of Saratoga, of Waterloo, or of Beuna Vista, shall be the glory ofthat conjunction of Great Britain and America on the bights that command the ropose of the world. The truce they made there was not effect d without mutual self-denial acquired under the discipline of free government. Great u I limn nuiurniii wiinmuiit'ilill milonion mal nau long convulsed me world. Tb United States subdued ono that nature prompted, and the voice of mankind applauded and encouraged. Let not that sacred truco be broken, and these friendly Powers engage in deadly strife and discord, and violence be let loose, to arrest the progress of the nations. Better for the pride of each that tho white cliffs that garrison the coast of England sink into a black and pestilential morass, and, that Niagara lote forever Hi deep-toned voice, and ooio through a vulgar channel to the sea, than that the great and tonoriout concord thut established between them be rudely broken. I counsel you, Senators nnd itatetmen of tho United Statu, by all the motives that ore born in the love of tuch a land as ours, in such aa Rgs as tils I counsel the Senators and statesmen of Great Britain, by all ths motivot that greatness and ambition 'tike her own will not permit to be muctive. to prcicrvo und maintain, ut . . . . . a , , i . all cottt and haiardt, nnd through all

discontents and jealousies, thin great a there now, either a Moaquito Kin;treaty.

I shall examine first the queitlon nnd thut they have it chief, who it - i .a, 1 1 a vr. f ..... in... , . .i i I.. i t.

concerning the Mosquito Coast. The United Mtatos insist that Urunt-Bittain is bound by the treaty to witlidruw from that district. Groat Britain denie tho obligation. Ths Unit id States take their stand on the fair and natural effect of the language contained in the treaty. lis stipulations are, that Great Britain aiiBii not Bjsssss or maintain any eoiony or occupation, or exercise any dohf U..m f .. ii:

nnuiuii tun i.n.inc, wrawwai bmvii, joUnu CXIsimg wiiinii me Known geoths Mosquito Const, or nny part of ; graphical and territorial limits of GauCentral America. Great Brit tin at- Uomnla, a province of Spain on the earserta that the stlpulationa are only ! Hwat colonisation of America, Nnd that prospective, and do not lake hold up thoy remained there until tho revoluon. and terminate any occupation or t,on within that province, by which it colony or dominion of hers which is I became independent, and that they existing at tho time when thu treaty j have remained sver sinoo in the tame

is concluded. She argues that luohl an effect is met ci v inferential; whereas, if it had been intended, if would have been embodied in the form of nn express renunciation. It teemt to mo that the renunciation does not rest in nn inference only, but is explicitly expressed. The treaty is very brief. It grasps many great interests of the united States, of Groat Britain, of the Mosquito nation, Bnlign Colony, of Nicaragua, Honduras, Cotta Rica nnd the two other Central American States, I r a of Mexico and New 1 H n irla. end of all friendly nations, and necessarily language which is dispones, of them III comprehensive, while it is abrupt ami terse. Great Britain stipulates that! she will not over (that is to lay, after j this time, henceforward) maintain auy 1 colony or occupancy, or exercise any lominion over thu Mosquito Count This stipulation eannot be fully executed, unless Great Britain shall, from time to time, relinquish, distinguish, discontinue, give up, retire from, anil abandon whatever colony, occupation or domain, of whatever form or nature, she now maintains or exercises im the Mosquito ('oast. A doubt may arise whether the colony occupation and dominion, Indirectly maintain, d lllid exec:..i. jn tllO foril! tlf h Protectorate over tho H ini n ition i ; .. . i .. i ... I 1m it... .......... -I.., rrila nn iuu.'.i in tue i limit nitioii . in remove this doubt, Gteat Britain repeats and specifies that sho wilt Rot (from this time henceforward) "make uae of any protection which she now affords to any Htato or people, for tho purposs of maintaining any colony, or occupation, or exorcising any dominion whatever, on the Mosquito Coast." 1 turn the argument of Grsal Britain against herself, If she is not to relinquish and discontinue her Mosquito Colony, occupation and dominion, now maintained and exercised n the form of a Protectorate. whydoesihenotexpresilyreierveand gave them? 1 submit, in the next place, that if the American construction is not the true one, then the treaty it destitute of that mutuality which is inherent in all contentions, and avowed with peculiar and earnestness and sot sanity in thit one. The United Suite have not, either on the Mosquito Coast or in any part of Central

Anertca, any colony, occupation or

dominion of any form whatever. They stipulate that they will never obt&in or nasume any such, (treat Britain has all these existing m the form of the Protectorate, and that constitutes the obstacle to the opening of the Dro pnsed ship canal, an object desired by both parlieV Sho agrees on her own part that she not only will not obtain or assume any new colony, occupation or dominion there, but she will not herertfter maintain or exercise any such that it now existing. As aha has heretofore "made use" of her protectorate for the purpose of maintaining and exercising such occupancy and dominion, she agrees that she will not make ute of that machinery for those purposes any longer. But, if the machinery it preserved at all, it must constitute now, as heretofore, a colony, an occupation, a dominion, and therefore, the machinery itself mutt ceAse. If the British construction is right, then Great Britain has conceded nothing present and nothing future, while the United Statos havo conceded everything, equally present and future, by excluding thennelvea henceforward and forevtr from Central America. One can tcarculy maintain hit gravity when he finds Lord Clarendon, on tho other hand, arguing that tho British construction it based on the principle of mutuality. Iiis syllogism is thit: Great Britain hat ooloniet, occupations and dominions in Cential America; the United Mates have none. , If Great Britain relinquish her ooloniet ( tri; tll)!ll( ifl s lintl rmmullOtlS, SnO Mir i . - . . - renders advantages without receiving any equivalent!. But it is to be reme no be red that the United States denied absolutely the British title to their colonies, occupations and dominions in Central America; and, secondly, they had antagonistical rights to establish colonies, occupations nnd dominions there, by virtue of the oontract and two treaties extended to them by Nicargua, whoso title they held to bo paramount to that of Great Britain. To avoid thin conflict between themselves, the parties agree to abandon Central America to the Slates exitting there, to whom it belongs. Pressed by tho American argument, Great Britain concedes that the treaty limilt and modiliet her protectorate.

By tho universal custom of European and American Htates, gavsgs tribes, although they aic per milted to exercise tome municipal powers, have no aotual or high sovereignty. Kven when they have never been displaced or subdued, the sovereignty, nevertheless, resides in the Btsts or nation which exercises direct ly, or derives to Itself, tua title ae uired by European diicovery. It was I ra . . 4 . . .. .A . mm. m. by this universal law mat ureal t.riiiii n acquired and so long maintained that sovereignity within the Territory of Lkva oriuimil United Htates, which he icsignerl to them by tho treaty of Versailles in 1703. By ths tame law France acquired and held that dentin ! jon jn Canada, aud the valuable West India Islands, which she so reluctantly transferred lo Great Britain on the fall of Quebec in 170. By the same law Spain acquired that titlo to the the Floridas and vast regiona in Lousinna and Mexico, to which the United Stales have tu ceeded by purchase, as well ss all the extensive countries in Mexico, Central America, and Houth America, which have paused froo under her dominion and gono under the sway of thu Spanish Amen can Republics. It wa Wv the lame t ' n i i j t law that Denmark acquired her pos sessions in the Weit Indies, and that Portugal acquired Braaii; and tho Empire ol Braiil Hands now on the tame title. The authority for this universal law, most opposite to tho present occasion, It that of Great Britain herself, m confessed in tho nrgooieUlon which led to the treaty in question. Mi. Rives reports to Mr. Clayton a conversation between himself nnd Lord Pnlmerston, thus: "I eoncludod with saying that it resulted from thit long course of uuia . I al l egg MM I It viw VWU V VlltlVIIIII I'ISWSjfuÜW( lhst actual possession was in no Versal usage ami coiivi uiionai ni.tcwise nucesssry to the exercise of a rightful sovereignty on Indian Territory; and, (hat although Indian tribes Ii. le io " I'd ol ...illle of llie ItllN butts of a seperale political rxiilcnce, such ub that of Governing their communities by their own internal laws, and alio of sustaining tho relationi of peace and war, vet it was impossible to recogniie in them a complete na

tional independence, tuch as that which waa claimed for the Mosquitoes, without subverting the whole fabric of public law belonging to our peculiar position, which had grown up with the general concurrence and assent of all the civilized nations of Europe." To these remarks Lord Palmer ton replied by laying that "He fully admitted the general doctrine for which we contended; that it was the principle on which they conducted all their relations with the Indi in tribes in Canada; but that the ease of the Mosquitoes was tui generis and stood upon its own peculiar circumstances." (Senate, $oe: ST7, p:

22, vol. 3, 2d Setaion, 32d Congress.) But the law, being universal; there can be no case ui generit. If there si e m nisi ars any peculiar circumstances, wuicn is denied, tbey are not set forth. Even if there were tuch, yet tbey could not sustain an exception to the universal law. At least, ro the existence of inch a oaae iu behalf of the Mosquito nation cannot be pleaded against Spain and her successors, unlets the recognition of it can be shown. Nor ean it be pleaded by Great Britain, if sho herself hat recogniicd the paramount title of Spain and her successors. Having thown that there can be lawfully no Motquito Kingdom or King, I need not prove that there can lawfully bo no Britith Protectorate, of such an impossible Kingdom or Kin. Although it ii superfluous, I will how, secondly, that in fact, there it no tuch Kingdom, King or Protectorate. In Central Amenoa, population civilisation, and government, ever inoe the period of Spanish discovery, have clustered on the high grounds inland and on tbe Pacific slope, leaving the coast of the Caribbean Sea, which, though oxaeedingly fertile, was pest lantial, chiefly unoccupied. Such was the contrast between tbo regiont, that the early visitor! describe the Colony as situated between heaven and hell. That oosst, including the Moiquilo shore, still remains "a haunt of savsges, whom three hundred years of oontact with European oiviliiation has not only failed to improve, but actually degraded and debased." Among them ars the Mosquitoes, the most degraded and debased of nil. Tbey are a mixed breed of Indiant and negroes, In number about tlx thouannd. They eubaigt chiefly on hunting ami fishing, and livo on the banks of the lagoons on the verge of the ooast, ouoasying no other pert of tho exleniivii district covered in their name by the Protectorate. Their blood is tainted, and they are dimlnw gy ishing in numbers, like the nalivet of the Handwich Islands. Tho Britith have built a town, named Blewfield. at the mouth of (he Blewfield river, whioh contains six hundred inhabitants, of whom five hundred arc Indians and negroes, nnd ons hundred are English. Nearly all the dwellings are more huts; but there is one houso that is built of boards, and in this the British Agent lives, together with a native, who has been selected by the It iti-.li Government to personate a king. Ths Britith flag waves ovor the edifice, although it it recorded that a national banner of the M oiq ui toes waa once prepared at London, and sent to Blewfield. They claim for this king that their choice wat ratified by a number of the Chieft or head men of the Moaquito Indians ami show a certificate to that effect, benring their markt. They olalm, also, that tho pioscnt King, or some ons of his lato prodeoessors, visited Jamaica, nnd there wat invested with the robes of royalily by British subjects. The Mosouitoes nro heathens. They havo neither churches nor schools, nor Ministry, Parliament or Council. They have no army or navy, no treatury, no customs, no taxei, no revenues, no police, no industry, no trade, no intereoofse, diplomatic or otherwise, with any other people. There are ind od, at Blewfield, civil, judicial, diplomatie, military and naval authorities; but all those are British; they execute only only Britith orders, and derive all their powers and salurlet from tho British Government. These doubtless ant the reasons why Lord Palmerston, In sneaking of the Mosquito Klug, aald, "He is at much a King at you or I," and why, as Bancroft reports, the British House of Commons laughed whon fho boing present in 1840) they voted tho up proprialtons to support the Chaw? Affaire at the Court of that imaginary monarch. If any substance remained in tho fictions of a Mosquito nation a .d protectorate, it was finally dissolved by the frank and manly statements of Lord John Kuitell, written on the 10th of January, lBiS, with a view (o its bslng submitted to the Congress of the United States. Hs writes; It la evident thst since Great Brit, sic first assumed the protection and defence of the Moaquito Indiana, the poaition of all parlies has changed. l irsl, Spain, inttead of exercising absolute sovereignty over Central America, and prohibiting all commerce on the coast under her awsy. has entirely lost ber domain over the oontinent, from Capo Horn to Florida. Seoondly thu Mos juito Indians, Instead of governing their own tribe, according to their own customs, furnish a namo and title to Europeans and Americans, who carry on trade nt Grsytown and along ths ooast of Moaquito, according to the uaaages of civilised nations. Thirdly, Great Britain, instead of having an interest in the defence of the Mosquito Indians, for the sake of resouing part of tho territory of Csntrsl America from Spaniih oontrol, and obtaining an outlet for ber, has no other interest in Mosquito than thai which ia derived from an honorable regard for her old connection with the ludian nation of Moaquito."

Under no circumstances could the fiiction of a Mosquito King, kingdom or protectorate, be tolerated to deprive the United States of continental rights guaranteed to them by treaties with the Central American States. But it would be consenting to the practice ot a fraud against them and ourselves to tolerate such efforts, after the treaties of 1783, 1786, and 1860. It remains now to speak of the Colony of the Bay Islands. In Central America, not in British Honduras, in the Caribbean sss, ab ut 35 miles from the port of Truxillo. in the State of Honduras, and 400 miles distant from the Beltse, lies the island of Ruatan, spacious, fertile, beautiful, and easily susceptible of defence. Near to it are the relatively smaller, but yet considerable, islands of Bonacca, Utilla Barbaret. Helene and and Moerat. The islands of Ruat-n and Bonacca are said by a Brittiih geographer to

be, by reason of their fine harbors, good soils, fine air and abundant animals, as well at their commanding ground, proverbially known in that art of the world as the garden of the r'est Indies, the Key to Spanith America, and a new Gibraltar. On the 17th of July, 1860, thirteen days after the conclusion of tho treaty of I860, a proclamation was issued by tbe British Government, constituting the islands before named a colony, under the name of the Colony ot the Bay Islands. . Ths United Btatsi tniitt thst Great Britain shall discontinue (his new colony. Great Britain refuse!, snd alleges that tho colony is within the Balixe settlement, or British Honduras, and to it excepted from the treaty. On the contrary, the Islands which are excepted are described in tbe exeeption as small Islands in the neighborhood of the Balixe. Not only are there such small lalands in that place, but they are expressly described and assignod to tho Balixe. in the treaty of 1783, while the Bay lalands are neither small Islands nor are they situated in tho neighborhood of tho Balisa, but, on ths contrary, (hey are Islands of eonsidorable magnitude and o. historic importance. The treaty of 1786 assigns thorn to the "Spanish Continent, and expressly excludes Great Britain from them. Great Britaid shows no pretence of title, or even of oontinued occupancy of them. Spain help them until the revolution tn Central America. The Kate of Honduras aaaumed poaaession, and placed a flagon ltuatan, in 1829. Great Britain caused that flag to be supplanted by her own in 1839; but thu wai immediately after lowered, and tbe flag of Honduras was restor ed to its plsce. It is unimportant to follow thit petty contention farther, Whatever pretensions Great Britain may have ever before made to tho Bay Islands, they were all solemnly and forever relidquished and abandoned bv her in the Treaty of 1 860. I have thuB reached the conclusion that (ho American positions are jus, nnd tho American demands are rlgh'. The final question is a practical one what ovgbt tho United Slates now to do? I oan now only glsnoe at some of tho circumstances which affeot tho question. I regret that in any ease it involves a possibility of war. Although I believe war tometimet justiliable, I regard it always, nevertheless as a calamity and an evil. 1 do not agree with either those who suppose it contributes to national prosperity, or those who regard it as a salutary discipline of Slates. 1 should, therefore, deeply deplore any war with any nation, and mors than any other, a war with Great Britain. That Power no longer arms alone Its wealth and influence easily secures allies. Nor In such a contest should we be unnide 1 The adjaesnt American Htates, at least would cooperate with us. It would, therefore, be a gsnsrsl war, and, consequently, more extensively injurious and widely demoralizing than any other in whloh we could bo engaged. It would, moreover, renew and practically perpetrate an alienation between two fraternal States, on whose common guldanoo ( only secured through thoir ooncord) the advancing nations largely depend. I depreoste a war, moreover, bsoauss It oan be avoided, unless there shall be fault on both sides, ot on one side; aud, therefore, in one sense it would bs an unnecessary conflict. Notwithstanding ths occasional occurrence of mUnnnrehenilouB and irritations, the world ts vet wide enough for both nations, and for all nations. We are the centre of one tytbm an American one; Great Britain is the centre of another an European one. Almost in spite of ourselves, ws ars steadily extending and increasing our oontrol over these confluents, Notwithstanding her tenacity, sho ia constanly losing hor dominion here. This is within tho order of nature. It was for three hundred years the business ot European nations to colonies, dit ciplino, and educate American nations. It Is now the butinets of those nations to ffovern themselves. The decline of Ruroncan oower hare practically began with the fall of Canada out of .. . l latt f ire control ot r ranee, in ieo.. at has steadily oontinued until now only tome relict, noitetiing little vitality, remain. Without any war on our part, Groat Britain will wisely withdraw and dlsappsr from this hsmitphero within a quarter of a oonturv at least, within half a oentury. Wsr might hasten, but might alto delay it. I regrst, alto, thst r wrt, if it ruuit ooms, must also probably concur with tho great conflict that now convulses Europe. Ths British administration has long bssn unfsitful to the cause of free institutions in Europe, and tbe French emnire Is. in mv evst. a hate ful usurpation. Nevertheless, both of these adminiitrationt are temporary, and practically ephemeral, while the Russian empire is an obstinate and

portentous reality. I accept the oracular exposition of the first Napoleon; and, believing that Europe must be soon either Republican or Cossack, I recognize 'beneath the monarchical mask of the allies, the Western nations contending against an advancing despotism. Although no duty and nc propriety requires us to intervene on their side, I should be very unwilling to engage my country in a combination against them. I regret, also, the sad condition of the Central American States, which seems to render them as incapable of profiting by our intervention as ths French people were, when in 1799, tbey demanded a like interposition, in fulfilment of our precedent treaties of commerce and allianoee. Nevertheless, a war with Grest Britain is now among the poewble solutions of tbe present embarraement. We certainly can look for no moderation on her part hereafter, if we over

look hei persistent refuaal to fulfil tbia the most solemn and important of alt our international engagements. It will be an idle dream to suppose ourselves free and sate if we leave her to waylay us on all sides of our Isthmus paaaages, from our Atlantic region to the Pacific States. Nor do I fesr a war, having justice and high State necessity on our rids. We outnumber the population of tbe British Island. Their dependencies detrset from insleRd of lending strength. Although we hsvo less realised wealth, ws have infinitely greater resources thsn those of Great Brit am. and our re venous, susseptihle of Isrgo increase, are practically free. Our recruiting ground is ample, ae Great Britain well knows, for she has tried to enter it clandestinely. If there were any deficiency of native volunteers, Great Britain hsraslf, as well as other European nations, has supplied us with this element of war. We have a corpse of military officers unoqualcd, and we hsve the foundations of sn effective navy, that oan speedily be built up and put in moIn view of tho circumstaneet, it seems to me wise to adhere to our demands, and yet to cast on Great Britain distinctly the responsibility of deciding upon peaoe or war. Borne would advise us to propose arbitration. But I think we have passed that point already. It would imply doubt of the ilglUiulneiiof (he positions on which we have elected to stand, as claimants out of possession . Such indecision would bo equivalent to abandonment. Besides, I do not know where we oould find an impartial um plro in tbe present disturbed condition of Europe. I do not think that; Great Britain will choose a resort to war. Her Government, hardly lea than our own, it a popular ono. This controversy growa out of a caprice of her own, Administration. A ,war would embarrass her prosperous industrial system, and could bring to her return no adequate advantage, even if the were auoeessful. My comnsel, therefore, is as notiss to Great Britain that we sbal interfere to prevent her exercise of dominion in South America, if it shall not he discontinued within one yssr, and also that authority bs now givsn to the President to execute that delayed purpose.
