Correspondence of the Philadelphia Gazette. Jan. 15-
The Central Question.
Washington, Jan. 14.
In the correspondence communicated to Congress, there
is a letter irom Lord Clarendon, of May 2, 1801, in reply
ing to Mr. Buchanan’s first “statement’—tor the last he
has never found it convenient to attempt to answer which
makes a most extraordinary disclosure, as will be readily
seen when attention is invited to the particular points.—
Spea'king of the British construction of the treaty, in refer
ence to the protection ot the Mosquitoes, lie says, “that
within little more than a month alter the treaty of 1850
had been ratified,” further negotiations were entered into,
and the “British interpretation was at once accepted by
the Secretary of State, Mr. Webster.”
Now', wheu it is remembered that the ratification? of the
treaty were exchanged on the Ith ol July, 1850, and that
Gen. Taylor died only a lew days alter —the oth, 1 think
—this development has a most significant meaning. Mr.
Webster was a member ol the Senate when that treaty was
submitted, and advised its ratification, knowing full well
that no such construction as is now impudently set up by
the British Government was ever entertained on either side
during the How, then, he could have been
so prompt to repudiate the principle ol his own vote, and,
as an American Secretary ol State, to accept the terms of
interpretation dictated by the British Minister, Sir Henry
Bulwer, is more than 1 shall undertake to explain. The
indecent haste of that act of too—supposing
the allegation to be true —when Gen. Taylor had been
hardly two weeks in his grave, and the ink ol his signa
ture scarcely dry, excites mingled surprise and indignation.
Lord Clarendon has produced no evidence, to be sure,
verifying such a concession from Mr. Webster; but those
who knew the intimacy which subsisted betv/ee n the lat
tor and Sir Henry Bulwer, and who had the opportunity of
any appreciation of the eminent skill, ability and persever
ance of the British negotiator, may rest satisfied he never
was content with any verbal assurance from Mr. Webster,
but took occasion to obtain such a committal as warranted
the emphatic declaration ot Lord Clarendon.
And I have some personal reason to bo satisfied of the
justice of this impression, by the subsequent official action
ot Mr. Webster, which fully sanctions all that has been
allodged. Two years after Lord Clarendon states that
Mr. Webster allowed the British interpretation, the nego
tiations then referred to were brought to a discreditable
conclusion here, through the joint agency 4 bf Mr. Webster
and Mr. Cranapton.
A projet of settlement was agreed upon, which assumed
to settle all the questions of contested boundary in Central
America; which admitted the Mosquito (virtually the Brit
ish) title to San Juan ; which conceded the British protec
torate over the Mosquitos ; and which undertook to direct
the internal legislation of Nicaragua, by fixing the tariff of
duties on importations .into her territories. This scheme,
which not only surrendered the whole American side ot
the question, but recognized even more pretensions than
Great Britain had ever previously claimed, was signed in
this city in June, 1852, by the contracting parties named.
Three agents were appointed to commuieate the terms per
sonally to the States interested. They were Mr. Wyke,
the British Consul General in Central America, Mr. Kerr,
United States Charge d’Affaires at Nicaragua, and Mr. R.
M. Walsh, United States Special Agent to Costa Rica.--
Representing the two poweiiul governments most interest
ed in the questions at stake, and carrying with them the
united authority of the negotiators, the mission was one
which would have left no alternative to the weak states
interested but. abject submission,since they could Command
no power sufficient to resist such a combination.
Reliable intelligence of this projet was communicated
to me at the time, and lat once disclosed it to the public.
This summarily terminated the arrangement, as it could
not Hand the scrutiny of the country. My publications
went to Central America,in company with the three agents,
and Nicaragua at once rejected the offensive overture for
tho spoliation ol her territory, and the conversion of her
sovereignty into a condition of vassalage to Great Britain.
While it would not be becoming to reflect upon the motives
of Mr. Webster in this transaction, the disclosure of it be
longs to the diplomatic history of the Central American
controversy, and could not be suppressed with justice.—
He is dead, but the President under whose instructions he
acted is living, and owes it to his reputation to explain, if
lie can, how this monstrous perversion of the
treatv of 1850 was brought about, and under what inspira
tions’ the British construction was accepted before iGeneral
Taylor was hardly cold in his grave.
There was treachery somewhere, if there was not some
thing worse, and it is proper the country should know up
on whose shoulders the responsibility really rests. And if
Mr. Fillmore should feel called upon to make the explan
ation which he owes to the countiy in this matter, it is to
be hoped it will be guarded by more careful examination
than that which marked his positive and unqualified dis
claimer in reference to the antecedent countenance extend
ed to the guano enterprise jin the Lobos Islands —thereby
putting the whole onus on Mr. Webster’s memory—when
it is well ascertained now that the original instructions,
with his autograph approval endorsed upon ? the back of
them, yet exist in the Department of State, and have been
seen with astonishment by several curious explorers alter
truth.
From Richaid Garrett, Esq., Tobacco Inspector of the
City of Nashville, a gentleman well known ,
Nashville,Oct. 8,1851.
Dr. C. Williams —Dear Sir: I have used with much
benefit your Pulmonic Balsam ot Wild Cherry and Wood
Naptha. I was laboring under a severe cough, so bad that
I could not sleep, and knowing the high reputation of your
Pulmonic Balsam in the States of Alabama and Mississip
pi, I procured a bottle of it, and take great pleasure in
stating that, in a very short time, I received great ieliel,and
must say that it is the best remedy I ever used lor the cure
of a severe cough, and take great pleasure in recommend
ing it to my fellow citizens ot Nashville and surrounding
country. RICHARD GARRETT.

Medical Testimony cannot be Controverted.
One of the most startling cases is narrated of Dr. Mc-
Lane’s Vermifuge by Dr. John Butler, ot Lowell, Tram
bull county, Ohio. The case was that ot a young lady
who had been very sick for eight years, and had consult
ed a number of physicians, who had treated it as one ot
Prolapsus Uteri. Dr. Butler was then called in, anu tor a
time believed with his predecessors that it was a case ot
Prolapsus, lie was, however, soon forced to the conclu
sion that his patient was suffering from worms, and after
much persuasion, prevailed upon her to take two doses of
Dr. M’Lane’s Vermifuge. This medicine had the .effect ot
removing trom her a countless number ot the largest size.
After she passed them her health immediately returned. —
She is since married, and continues to enjoy excellent
health. AXTT „ C ,
