Crabtree, has arrived at this port, with the United States contract mails from Germany, France and England. The Hermann left Bremen on the 12th ult., and reached Southampton in the evening of the 13th, having run the distance (480 miles) in 39 hours. At Southampton she took on board 800 tons of coals, and the cargo and passengers from Havre, and finally sailed on the 20th July, at 3 P. M. She brings 70 second class and 60 first class pas- sengers, and a freight of the usual valuable descrip- tion—compnising 170 tons measurement of bale and case goods from Bremen, (German manufactures); also, from Havre, about 280 tons of valuable silks, laces, shawls, gloves, embroideries, &c., of French and Swiss manufacture; and about 200 packages from Southampton, including opium, British laces, and other manufactures. The total number of packages is near 1,700, and the value estimated at $1,000,000 to $1,100,000. By this vessel we have received our usual files o° papers, with despatches from our various European correspondents; but their contents have been most- ly anticipated by the Cambria. On the day of the Hermann’s leaving Southamp- ton, (20th of July,) Capt. J. H. Jansen, of the Swedish brig Lamartine, came on board the H., and reported that he had just arrived at Cowes, having on board Capt. Butman, his officers and erew, taken from the wreck of the ship Sarah and Arselia, of New York. They left her on the 2d of July, in latitude 43 17, longitude 48 30, ina sink- ing condition, with a_cargo of railroad iron, from *Jewport, Wales, for Boston. Sovrnamrron, (Ena) July 20, 1819. The Landing of M. Guizot at Havre—His Recep- tion by the People—Hootmg and Hissing, §c. By my letters from Havre this morning, I learn that the ex-minister of the ex-king of the French, “Lovis Philippe,” landed yesterday from South- ampten, by the steamer “Express,” at the above port, on his way to his property at Lisieux. He was received on landing by M. Pescaton, the cele- brated government tobacco centractor under the Jate government. Te was assailed, on landing, by the hootings and hiesings ot the whole population; and although Havre is fur from being whet is term- ed r ican in feeling, it 1s quite evident that the detestable régime under which the second Polignac placed his untortunate country, 18 net forgotten, nor have the people ceased to think that but for his headstrong illiberality, of his infa- mous conduct previous to the revolution of Febru- ary, France might at this moment be happy and prosperous, under a sound government, suited to the wants, the wishes, and the capacities of her eitizens, and arriving gradually, by liberal mea- sures, above all, by education widely diffused amo} the people, ut a revolution of peace, which might perhaps have conferted on France peeple many of those blessings which are the enviable lot of the happy citizens of Ame- nica if Bat Ree believe hat periarad statesmen have any feelings left, we could not, I think, envy the pate of M. Guizot, looking from the pinnacle of is fame upon the ruins of his eountry, and hear- ing himself devoted to the execration of posterity. But these_modern despots, like their worthy pre- decessor, Nero, can fiddle while Rome is buraing, and rejoice when the last worshipper on the temp! rd diberty has deserted the altar of the fullen god- 88. Interview between Lous Napoleon and M. Proudh rg on The following curious letter has been addressed by M. Proudhon to M. Emile de Girardin, apropos to some remarks in La Presse, respecting an in- terview the former had with Prince Louis Napo- leon previous to his election to the Presidency:— It was on the 26th of September, 1848, that, te my ‘no small surprise, | was invited to see M.

The important resolutions moved by Lord Brougham in the House of Lords last night, have been megatived by a vote of 96 against 108, thus giving the policy of Lord Palmerston,in the House of Peers, a majority of 12. The speed of the ex- Chancellor in moving the resolutions, was very telling, as were those of Lord Aberdeen, Lord Stanley, &c. The ministry are ternbly chagrined at the suc- cess of Mr. Drummond’s resolution respecting the extravagant expenditure of the country, the worth- less officials which are paid, and the den of cor- ruption which it fosters. The fact is, that from all Ihave been able to glean among the sending fre; quenters of the Reform and St. James’ Club: rd ohn Russell regards it as a vote of censure; and although not carried by a large majority, feels that his position 1s far trom being satisfactory. Reports this morning are current that Bright and Cobden are so dissatisfied with the success, or rather character, of the new agitation for par mentary and financial reform, under the auspic of Sir Joshua Walinsley, that they mean to get up a tcheme of their own—something like the Corn Law League. f Mr. Parker, Q.

Advices of a very late date have this morning | reached us from all parts of Ireland—our express | having left Dublin last night ata little before twelve o'clock. As the period for Her Majevty’s visit to Cork, Dublin and Belfast approaches, the bustle and con- fusion consequent upon the preparetiw™ns to be made | increase.

The ball last evening was, without any excep- | tion, a most agreeable and charming variety in the series of pleasures which prevails here. It was | most numerously attended. The dresses were very | splendid; white, and silk, and satin, were the order | of the evening. Mrs. Little wore a lace dress over «pink or amber slip, I am not sure which, be- cause it is very difficult to tell the difference be- | tween the two colors, except by daylight. The dress, which, of course, hud alow body, was or- namented with a fall of lace around the ck, which reached midway from the shoulder to the elbow. Her hair was ly but tastefully ad- justed. Her sister wore a white dress, the sleeves of which were looped up with Ree ribbons; and two more elegant, more beanfiful, or more grace- fol women were not in theroom.

Among the latter, was Mr. Waddell, who I believe is a scholar, an Iknow he is a highly polished gentleman. He appeared to enter into the chorographic exercise with great spirit. He is accompanied by his wife, who is a very amiable lady. the music was very fine, and, when that is the case, the Terpsi- chorean essayists are sure to appear to vantage. With regard to the gq@tlemen, I must y, that there is net one igher claims to the title of a well-bred man than Mr. James, of Albany. He is mild, cour teous, and unaflectedly polite, and such he is es- teemed by all who know lim. i Mr. Clay had appointed to meet his friends to- day at his private lodgings, from 11 to 1 o'clock; but, it being. the day named oe the President ot the United States for fasting and humiliation, the honorable and learned leman went to the church, which cireumbscribed his opportunity of carrying out his wishes. On his return, however, from divine worship, several geutlemen waited upon him. Thad the honor of an introduction, and my interview with him was of the most pleas- ing description. In the course of the conversation, he epoke of the Irish, and remarked that an Irish gentleman was one of the finest specimen of our race. He spoke of the late Henry Grattan, whom he had seen in London in the year 1815, and ex- pressed his regret .hat he had a beat bis speech upon the question of the reW@wal of the war, after the departure of Napoleon from Elba. “But,” said the illustrious senator, with an air of surprise, ‘Mr. Grattan took sides with the minister.” I am happy to say that Mr. Clay is much better, and is quite cheerfy]. In speaking of his friends, he said, that. a portion of the time which he had appropriated for receiving them had been otherwise oceupied, but it had been devoted toa higher purpose. This was a noble sentiment —a grand offering to the majesty of the mighty and incomprehensible Being, to appease whose just wrath the chief magistrate ef this glorious cna tiarecy has set the day apart as one of prayer to Him Almost all the shops in the villnge are closed, and the stillness which prevails reminds one of the Sabbath. Nothing on this earth can surpass the moral grandeur of that seene which presents to the civilized world a great and happy nation on its knees, acknowledging its dependence upon a mer- ciful Providence, and imploring His forgiveness for its manifold and grievous transgressions. Yesterday a gentleman, named Richards, who, I understand, resided in New York, died very sud- denly at the Union Hotel. He died in an hour after he had been attacked. The disease was not cholera—and let no mendacious busy-body say that it was—it was an affection of the heart which terminated his lite in such a melancholy manner. ‘The steam-buat—New World, as| amfinformed, “broke down” at the other side of Poughkeepsi and the consequence war that no Herald arrive here last night, tothe great disappointment of those who read it, and that number includes almost all. This morning the agent’s office was crowded by persons who were anxious to get it. A gentleman told me that its non-arrival, in due time, had cre- ated much regret, as all who desire to be informed of the events of the time must look into itscelumns. The Herald, said he, is pre-eminent, because it is a complete history, for one day, which was the late Dr. Johnson’s test of a good newspaper. Some of the dresses worn at dinner to-day were the most magnificent I have seen yet. salt The ladies have had a delightful morning in the drawing room, which was the scene of a lively, witty, and instructive conversation, and it was sustained with a rich fund ot information, and a considerable share of talent. The science ot hrenology having been introduced, one of the Edie remarked that there were many incontro- vertible truths connected with it. ‘A phreno- logist,” continued she, ‘to whom I was an utter stranger, and who had never seen me before, told me that I had the organ of mirth prominently de- veloped.” For my part, I think that the gentle. man Was coreect in his diagnosis, for persinly a more cheerful lady there is not at the hotel. She makes all around her laugh, not at her, but with er, and she is not only witty herself, but the cause of wit in others. The young ladies cluster around her, and appear anxious to pay her that deference which is due not only to her years, but to her mental qualifications. She is also a pun- ster, and in that way, too, she says many neat things; and, indeed, no one can be dull in her presence. Her disposition is to be happy her- self, and to make those of her circle partake of the same feeling. "Twere no flattery, even to ex- haust the treasury of our language upon one so gifted, so benign, so benevolent, and so trul umiable. In these times of roe gra org py - ness, such a happily constituted mind is a great ucquisition to the society which is so fortunate ep © be within the range of its influence. _ After dinner, the band took up its station in the centre of the garden, and soon its enlivening | sounds were heard throughout the establishment. The ladies, escorted by the gentlemen—some by | their lords, and others by those who did the amia- ble, and who thus paid tribute at the shrine ot po- liteness and gallantry—came out, and, in a short 5 i were crowded with the élite of | isiters. The band played for two hours, the course of which some choice pieces were exe- cuted with an ability that called torth many com- plimentary remarks from several parsons who were allowed to be well qualified to pronounce an | e of the most | land; while | ks in the garden are preferred by others, who wish to mhale the balmy breeze, and | the delightful wal | little cool, but not inconvenient! | hidde I, and those of the gen- | ruple linea of the promenade yom through ; ugh at dinner, but for the kind attenti Ir.

The general opinion is that this season will far exceed ihe fast. The worthy, liberal and gentlemanly proprietors have already lodged outa larger number than they did up to this period the preceding season. The dining hall is full to overflowing, while upwards of a hundred gentlemen take their meals in the aew restaurant, bea@es which. the meals are served at nearly all the cottages; then add to these the per- sons who are lodging, out of the hotel, and you will have a tolerably gt idea of the state of the case, It is a perfect avalanche of human beings from ing unti! bed-time. The road in front of the 1 entrance may be compared to the Ascot urse; it is constantly filled with carriages, im three deep. ‘The livery stable keeper, Mr. Dexton, who is conneeted with the hotel, is doing a large business.

The party was a very distinguished one, and the dinner was worthy of the proprietors of that delightful re~ treat, and of the occasion. It was served upin first-rate style, and consisted of every delicacy that méney could procure. It was, emphatically, the ‘*feast of reason, and the flow ef soul,” the great master spirit poosiding: Among the gentlemen who composed the gy, were Doctor Mercer, Winthrop, Slidell, Stuart, and Belmont, Esqs. ‘There was another dinner party which included.

The steamboat Troy deserves to be honerabl mentioned in the columns of the Herald. She not so highly decorated as some of the boats om the Hudson, but she is strong and powertul, and these are superior to decorations. The gentleman who commands her, Captain Fury, is much e@- teemed by the travelling public, for his polite and kind attentions to them. There is not in his pose tion on the river a more careful, a more obliging, ora more gentlemanly man. The Troy receives its tar share of patronage. 1, had occasion to stop at the Troy House, which is conducted by Mr. Coleman in an unex- ceptionable manner.

Just as] was leaving, a turtle of co logsal proportions had just arrived, and Mr. Coleman said he would be very glad if 1 would stop and dine with him. I declined, as duty called me eise- where.
