odaavor to cancel tbe statutes of Nature and es-
tablish tsautie doctrines In our Government on tbe
'abject of alavery baa done grevlous injury both t
the black and white man.
But we observe everyday evidence that sounder
entimenti and wholesomer Ideas are beginning to

H was only a few years ago when the Colonixition

Abolition under a thin disguise to the very hearth-
Stone of th South and sedulously ioculeated a false
sentiment and unwise trndtraeaa towsrds that free-
Dagrodom which 1 now being felt a a serious evil

length of the charter is rather too mnch lor our
scanty room and we therefore give a synopsis vi
Its most Important feature. The preamble sets

LETTER FROM EX ICE.
Vaiacx Decs-mber lSih 1853.
From Rorshach we look the steamer again for
Romtnsbom Constanz and Fredricb-hafen ; from
thrnce tbe railroad for Ulm. Au;bnrc and Munich
tbe cap'tal and residence of the rulen r Bavarlat
built la the midst of a level plain lu tight of the
Tyrol Alp on the small river Tib' with about
110000 Inhabitants. Munich before the reign of
King Lewis I was entirely devoid of all Interest for
a stranger to vintt it but he In bl youth as Crewn
Prince made the study of art hi favorite pnrsuit
and from early youib formed a first rale gallery of
sculpture the now eo justly celebrated Glypolbeck
as aIo two fine galleries of paintings tbo Pioseo-
tbeks containing many valuable pictures from the
best artists In Europe. U held out enennrairernenij

From Munich w returned to Augsburg and

mous expense. The Green Vault or collection of

millions dollars; the Japanese palace; the Museums of
Natural History and Agriculture all these are inter-
esting and wdl worth tbe traveler's attention Dres-
den on account of its ulubrioU! cllma'e its roman-
tic scenery. Its accessibility by railroad and steam-
boats and ita fine Institutions fur education has
been chosen by many foreigners a a place of resi-
dence. I have been informed hy a Coralcan gentle-
man that no less ifaan three hundred and fifty sub-
scribers were at the English church mostly beads of
families
From Dresden we booked ourselves for Boden-
bach and Prague In Bohemia where we visited the
celebrated glass factories In Ibe mountains end for-
retls of Bohemia Tbe glass in the rude state is
blown or cast by small manufacturers at placet
where the sand and ashes ate plenty and from
tbenee carried in hoods on tbe backs of peasants to
Heyda Stein Scbssnau and Lib en and there told at
so mncn per pound to merchants who again give it
oat with the design Ui the different artUta for gild
log catling and engraving. Some of these artists are
mott excellent workmen but are so pooHr pntd
that they never get meant enough to avek Ibtir for-
tunes elsewhere. One florin Austrian paper la
about an average remuneration Tor a day's labor
from which tbey often have to support a large fami-
ly. When tbe articles are completed they are again
returned to the merchants who pack end forward

something of Asiatic splendor In Us epect and

The most imposing of all it Uradichin tbo palace of
the Cohrmtan kings and emperors now the residence
Of tbe abdicated Emperor Ferdinand of Austria.
There are fifty-fire Ctlbolic churches fifteen monas-
teries and nunneries and ten Jewish synagogues in
Prague Many of tbe churches and convents are
very rich and bare large fundi for various charitable
Inst la lion. It being Saturday we visited the Jew
lah quarter on the low banks of the Uuuldsu a
labyrinth of narrow dirty streets and low bouses
swarming with population like an ant-hill. Tbe
tradition of tbe Jews says that they existed In
Prague be'ore tbe destruction of tbe Ttmple et
Jerusalem tbat tbey established themselves in pajan
limes as ilave dealers who bought and sold the
captives taken in the wara of the Bohemians. One
of their synagogue i la remarkable for lit antiquity
said to be over nine hundred josr old. The dust
and dirt certainly has accumulated therein for centu-
ries; soap and water or whitewash worn to be
deemed a sacrilege; It is a small temple supported by
three pitlart dingy with age and amoks. Tbe con-
gregation were just afsemb'ed at their evening
prayers everyone articulating In Uebrew tor him-
self while moving bis boy backward and forward
with bis bead covered Tbe whole gives Ihe specta-
tor so unfavorable Impression. The women of tbe
Jews are not allowed to enter the hallowed precincts.
but have a sepsraia division of the building from
wbicb tbey can neither see nor be teen In the
middle or the temple it an Iron enclosure in wbich
Is tha High Priest; tbe robes and bresrt plates sna-
the banging for the cabinet are embroidered with
pomegranates and bung with bells. From ihe syna-
gogue we were shown into the old burial ground
wbich Is a 'vast enclosure In tbe middle of the Jewish
city filled np with tbe dead of centuries. Tbe
oldest tomb It tbat of fiabbt Lowe dated 1230. The
monuments are generally slabs ot rod aaad stone
Offtnd with Hebrew writing; many bear the tym-
bols of Ibe tribe to which tbey belonged at a
pitcher mark Ihe tribe rf Levi and Ibe joined
bands the dc-ceodznts of Aaron. On the top of the
tombs Uj innumerable Irttle ntones and shells
plactd there by visitor aa tukuis of respect from
the living to the dead. Crao clothes am constantly
kepi in readiness aaalxoroueh boards; and aa soon
as a dead body t brought in ball of (he rich or
poor. It gots the same ample liver and a rough
board coffin encloses th remains of the high and
Iho low. The palace of IVallcnElein Duke of Fried-
land aud Ceiiera!lim t f the Thirty Years' War is
historical!) interesting though very little remains at
it originally waa except hi fotonte war hors
which borehitaloLutzonaud was thot nod after-

surrounded by ram pur U of fortification and divided
from tbo suburb) by the glucl which now form
very agreable promcoadm. It has a great many
public builJings tod places tr attraction bnl being
crowded f r room and lime I will only say a few
words on tbe financial portion of Austria which at
present forms iho general topic for conversation. Il
la well knnau that Austria b as a national debt of
some eight fanndred tnM:on fljrlus for apart of
which tbe naitnal bank holds a vast amount of
Uodrd property in Hungary asecurll) and now
the State hat deeded tbe said lands lo the bank upon

The undersigned. EnvcT Extraordlnarr and Minis
ter Plenipotentiary or Ihe Untied States bss been
Instructed bv ihe Prisidtnt attain to call tbe atten-
tion ol the Larl of Clarendon. Her ftlJij'a Pnrcl-
pcl Secretary of ainle (or Fore a Affsrf to tbo
Central American que-tions pending oelwecn th
two governments under ibe convention of 19th
of April 1850.
Tbe President baa directed iho undersisucd before
retiring from bin mission to requeil from the British
Government a eutcmeni of the position which ilba
determined to maintain in regard io tbe B-iy Islands
tbe territory between IbeSibiua nudlhe Sjrstroon
as welt as tbe Behzo settlement aud to lie Mosquito
Protectorate. The long delay In asking tor Ibis In-
formation has proceeded from the President's reluc
tance to manifest any tmpatinncn on this Important
subjeciwblst the nttention uf her Majesty's Govern-
ment was engrossed by iho War with Russia. Bui as
more then a year has already elapsed since i be term!
nation ol tbe discussion on the quesiionsand as tho
nm session or me new uungress is rapidly approach
ins ibe President docs uoi leel thai he would be ins
lined In any lonuer delay. Whilst il ifl far from the
purpose or tne undersigned to reopen the general
ilitciraiou he bat been instructed to commutucato to
ttie Etrluf Clarendon tbo conclusions at which ibe
President has arrived upon the wbu'e case
AHer having carefully reviewed and re considered
all ibe qiies Ions inn Ived with ibe light cast npou
tbem by the EjH of Ctarendou'sctatemenl of Ibe 2d
of May 1824 Ihe Preaideot has expressed bis uuwil
HoRnes to believe that Ihe positions wbich be per-
ceives to be rather Indicated therein Ihsn final'y
adopted will bo adhered iu t ibe British Govern-
ment. It waslu hisonioioTulhe maniiet intention of Ibe
Conveuiiuu to exciudu both contracting part ei from
boldmgor occuptlnKaa well tt from acauirlns ter
rltorial posse-eion in Central Amrrlca. and tbst this
luieoiiuu ia not Clot bed lu atnb guous IjngHage but
is set forth In explicit terms Tbe United Mates nave
bonod themselves uol io acquire any such ponfe-
siobe and Great Britain baa stipulated not to as-um
or exeie se any dominion over any part of Central
America " Indeed without such recprocal engage-
ments no mutuality whatever wonld have exis'ed
between the contracting parlies Whilst the Untied
States are excluded from occupying colonizing or
exercising dominion over any port of Central Aracri
ca. It cannot be admitted inai the same restriction
imposed In thn very fame Unguao Is not equi.ly
applicable to Grrat Britain.
The President therefore confidently believes that
Great Britain It bound by the first article of tbe con
vention oi ie;u io wuiid'aw irom me poseion ebe
now holds of Rastan snd the other Central American
Islands on tbe coast of the Stat of Honduras as well
as from thu territory of Central America between
tbe Sibrun and tbo Sare'roon which bis been
encroached upon by her Msjesiy'a subjects. He Is also
of opinion thai Ihe possession by ihe British Govern
mentof tha Belize sbutd be restricted to Itio limits
and object specified in the treaties between Great
Britain an t tpain of 17S3 nnd 1786
In regard to Ihe abegod protectorate! over Ihe
Mosquito kingdom the President ha- Instructed ibe
un IrrsiRotd to ssy it was ba confident belief that
this protect rale had beeu finally disputed of by the
convention tl Is therefore much lo his rrgn I (1 at
be fiuds ii Is sui! cuntinutd as stist basis or British
dominion over au extensive region in CcoUjI Ame-
rica Eteu though Grwt Brua n Jm I thai the
cio rent on Imposes restrictions n tbo pro eetoraiu
ctntmed. Vet eho i-llll continue lo exuretso tne same
dominion over the Motqoito co-ol wbicb Bii Had
doue before tid date. Indeed at the prenf-m moment
no visible power civlt. or military exits in the
Mo qui to territory except thai which il exercises by
Union subjects notwithstanding thu convention
expressly prohibits both parties from using any pro
tection woicn tuner may aujro io any Stale ur
people for Ibe purpoo of occup)lng fortifying or
colonizing Ibe Mosquito coast or any j arl of Central
America or for the purpusa of Kssaming ur exerci-
etog dominion over ihe some.
Tne declaration of the British govern men t that Its
protectorate is only employed lor thestcurity ot the
ngbiauf tun Moqutlo loilans andthatlt is ready
to abstain from farther Interference lo that country
whenereribese rtgbtscun. In a proper manner be
iru a ran teed to tbem cannot bo rccogolzed by the
TJui'ed Stales as having any foundation in the con-
vention. Tbe President couiderslhUto be a ques
tion between Nicaragua and the Indiana within Its
territory with which neither Great Britain nor tbe
Colled Slates baa any right to Interfere except In
friendly conference with Ihe authorities of lhat
State
Having thu distinctly presented lo the British
government ibe views ol ihe givernmeni of ibe
United Stales in regard lo the obligations Impoied by
the convention of 1850 the Presdeot feels assured
lhat the Earl of Clarendon will with characteristic
frankness be equally explicit In presenting tbo views
of the British government In regard lo these obli
gallons.
In conclusion the undersigned is instructed to state
tbst Ibe President does not doubt tbai ihe loterett of
tbe two coun'riee and the!' mutual desire to main-
tain existing friendly relatione wiU alike inspire each
party with a conciliatory eiini and enab c tbem lo
overcome all obstacles to a nllfociory adjustment of
the Central American questions.
The undersigned has ihe honor to renew to the
Earl of Clarendon the assurances of his distinguished
consideration.

lenilary of the United S ates addressed lu blm on
the 11 h lisL siatmg that be had been directed by

regard to the Bay I-lands to tbe territory between
the Stbrnn and tbe S-irstroon as we I ut the Belize
settlement and to the Mosquito proiectorate and se
tlrglorlb the conclusions at which the Pre-idenlhas
arrived upon the whole c&e namely: that H was
ih Intention of tbe convention of tbe 19 b of April.
1S30. to exclude both the contracting parties from
bodiog or occupying as well as from acquiring ter-
ritorial possessions in Central America; and tbat
consequently Great Britain is bonndl withdraw from
ihe possession abe now binds of Ruataii and otter
Central Atnrei can Islands on the coast of Ihe State
ol Honduras as well as from the territory io Central
Amer ca be' ween tbeSibrun and tbe Sarstroun; tbst
the p issessli n of tbe British Governmental the Be-
lie ehoutd be restricted io the limits and object
specified In the treaties between Great Britain and
Spain of 1733 and IS76 ; and tbal the protectorate of
Ihe eo-ca led Mosquito Kingdom was finally disposed
of by the convention
Tbe nndertlgncd observes with pleasure that
while thus expressing tbe opinion of the President of
ibe United Sstes on tbe several points tbns enumer-
ated Mr. Bucbansn announces tbat 11 Is far (mm hit
purpose to re-open tbe general discussion upon tbem.
Her Msjesty'a Government bod lodeed rt trained from
pursuing thst discussion by replying to Mr. Bucbsn-
an'a note oi the S3d of July 1S54 because tt Bppeared
to them that the continuance of ibe correspond ence
was not likely to lead loany salts actory conclusion ;
and as ber Majesty's Government are ctlllofibat
opinion tbe undersigned will confine hU answer
to Mr. Buchanan's present note within the same
limits as those wbicb Mr. Buchanan has prescribed to
himself.
In answer therefore to the question put by Mr.
Bucbanao tbe undersigned has tbe honor to state to
him that ber M jetty's Government adhere to the
opinion wbich they have uniformly held that the
convention of April 19 1S30 was merely prospective
in its operation and did not in any way Interfere
with tbe state of thing existing at the lime of Itt
conclusion If It had been intended to do ao there
can bo no question but tbat In conformity with what
tbe undersigned believes to be the universal rule In
regard to instruments of this nature it would bare
contained. In specific terms a renunciation ou tbe
part of Great Britain or the possesions and rights
which up to the conclusion of the convention she
bnd claimed to maintain and such renunciation
would not bsve been left aa smaller of inference.
Neither can her Majesty's Government sutacribo to
tbe position that if the convention did not bear the
meaning attached to it by tbe Government of the
United States it would have Imposed upon the Gov-
ernment or tbe United Stales a self-deny log obliga-
tion which was not equally contracted by Great
Britain and that such a at o of things could not
bavo been In the intention of the contracting pnrtiei;
because If tbo convention did bear too meaning at-
tached to it by tbe Untied States ft would then have
Imputed upon Great Britain the obligation to re-
nounce posseeitluns and rights without any equivalent
reuoncinlioo ou the ptrt of tbe United 8 ales. If
the Government of the Coiled riia es cau complain
in the one c:e or thu convention as presenting an
nulla' ral character unfavorable to the United tiialec
with much greater reason might the Government of
Great Britalu In thu other esse If Ibe assumption of
tbe United titates were to be acted apou In Iho con-
struction nf tbe convention complain of tt at pre-
judicial to England.
Bat looking at tbo object thn controlling parties
had in view at ihe conclusion of the conventim
namely the security of tbe ship cans) the British
Government considered lhat tbe design of the con-
tracting parties wat not lo disturb any sui tf things
then existing but to guard against ibo future crea-
tion uf a state Of thing which might by pusibiluj
interfere with tbe eecurny of the proposed cabal.
Tbai such was the true tiesica of Ibe convention is
obvtoui from tbe provision lu tbe sixth ui tide by
which Ibe contracting parties Invttnd every State to
enier Into stipulations with tbem similar lo lhoe
contained in Ibe cunte niton Bui If tbe poulion of
tbe United Slates Government were sound and the
convention was Intended to Interfere with tbe elate
or ihinifB exlatinir at the time of Ut conclusion and
to Impoee upon Great Britain to withdraw from por-
tions of territory occupied by tt a similar obligation
would be contracted by olbe: Stales acceding io tbe
convention and the Governments of Central Ameri-
can Slates would by the mere act of accession sign
away their rights to the territories in wbicb tbey aro
situated.
The British government shire the conviction ot
tbe President of the United States that ihe inter-
est of the two countries and lbt.ir mutual deoire io
maintain existing friendly relations will alike inspire
each party with a conctliulory apirit and enable
ih-m in Avorenmeall obstacles to a salir factory ad
justment of Central American questioot. Tbe BrU-
isn government or u !vuu nj .. --... vu
otherwise. The British govcrnmeol neither have
tbe wish lo extend Iho limits of their possessions or
the sphere or tbeir influence in thai quarter nor
wonld any British Interest be promoted in eo doing ;
but tbe British government aro not prepared to con-
tract either tbe one or the other tn pursuance of the
Interpretation of a convention to which Interpreta-
tion tbey cannot subscribe.
Tbe undersigned requests Mr. Buchanan to accept
the assurance of bis bigbctt consideration.

MR. SCCUlHiS TO LOEO CLaKtlWeK.
Tbe undersfgoed Envoy Extraordinary aud Minis-
ter Plenipotentiary of tbo Uoiied 8taies has th

tbe Earl of Clarendon her Majesty's principal Seers
tary or State or Foreign Affairs da ed on the S8ih
nlLln reply lotne note of tbe undersigned of ibe
11th nlL fn reference lo the Central American ques-
tion bet ten the two governments; and he will not
fail lo transmit a copy of ibe same by the next
steamer to the Secretary of Slate at Washington.
Whilst far from Intending to renew the general
diecuseion ef the-e questions which bss alreadr
been exhausted ibe Quderelgned. in passing would
make a B'Ogle observation In regard to the Eari of
Clarendon's remarks that ir the conveuiion of 19tb
ol April 1850 bad tniended thst Great Britain
sbonld withdraw from her possessions In Central
America "il would have contained In specific terms
a renunciation to Ibsi effect "and such renunciation
would not bave been left as a mere matter of In-
ference."1 Now It appears t Ihe undersigned that an engage
meoi by a party not to occupy or exercise domloion"
over territory of which tbat party is In actual posses
ilun el the data or the engagement. Is equivalent in
all respects lo an agreement to withdraw from such
territory. Under these circumstances. Ibis It not a
mere matter or Inference' because tbe on propo-
sition Is necessarily aud Inseparably involved la ibe
other and they are merely.aUernauve modes ot ex-
rm!ng the same idea. In such a case to withdraw
I not to occupy and not to occupy Is necetsrrily to
withdraw.
The noderslgued needs no apology Tur briefly ad-
verting to another argument uf tbo Earl ur Claren-
don because It has now fur the first time been ad
vanced lie states llm ir iho proposition of the
United States government were sound and lb Con-
vention was Intended to interfere with Ihe stale ol
things existing nt Ihe nme of Ita conclusion and lo
impose Upon Great Britalu to wdh (raw from portions
of territory occupied by it similar obllgjtlon w uld
ba contracted by Ihu Other S'nles necei-din-: to the

PHUsPHATED GUANO. This valuable fertilizer

qualities are dissipated in the air. which is plainly to be
perceivea oy tne sitook ammouiacai ameii constantly
emitted by It until iu strength Is gone. Bone Dust is
nothing mjre than Pbophate of Lbxe and this besides
being a strong" and valuable manure fixes the ammo-

the plants. A trial of this Fertilizer will satisfy any
one of its durability and superior efficacy to simple
Guano.

istaction. and I regard them as ded edly superior to all
others la use. By steam power 1 ground over 2 bushels
meal per hour and It continued to grind as well for more
than three years without any dessing of the stones or
other repairs. This latte advantage Is owing to tbe
fact of the lower stone retming Instead of the upper one.
If by neglect the milt gets oat of feed the stones never
come together wbich they da in those mills where the
upper stone revolves their own weight bringing them
together and causing the face of the stones to wear
