We. bave received a: brief telegraphic despatch from New Orleans, announcing the arrival at that port of the steamer Daniel Webster, from San Juan, with California aivices:to the lst inst. The Star ot she West left San Juan for New York on the 16ch fwat., with a fall complement of passengers and pearly a million of treasure. She will, wishout @oubt, arrive some time to-day. ‘The sity enjoys, at the present time, a remarkable exemption from epidemic. diseases. According to ‘Pe City Inepector’s report’ there were but 322 deaths @oring the post week, showing a decrease of 31 oa ‘Me mortality of the previous week. Of the whole mumber, 212 were under ten years of sge, and 36 iemates of the public institutions. Our city now gontsins s population of more than eight hundred ‘Sbousand pergons, and its sanitary, condition never ‘wee more fatisfactory. Much of this is due to the impreved condition of the.streets, the prevalence of ‘gool weather, frequent refreshing and cisancing sbowers, and the absence of crude fruit.

From Buences Ayres we have papers to the 3let of March; but later advices had already come to hand. The British Packet of March 31st, has tho following items:—The manufactured goods latterly pushed off at xuction must have beeu at a heavy sacrifice to the importers, besides causing a serious perturbation in the general market, Despite the favorable reports of the late harvest, fiour has sdvanced great y in price; whether from the pros- pect of an inadequate supply, or the tampering of fores*aliers and speculators, it is d'fficult to ascor- tain. A lot cf some 10,000 salted hides, for the English market, has been taken up at 41 reals, being an advance of one real on the previous prices: gnd we understand that some smaller lots ave subsequently been disposed of at about the seme rate. The stock on hand is very limited, and purchasers are ehy to close at the rate just men- fioned. So far as this State is concerned, there is Gvixy prospect of peace ans ‘Anauillty. Speaking of the government of Corrientes, the sams papor seye:— A private letter of the 10th inst. says that Governor Pojol had completely repulsed the inva- sion mate by Caceres, bad publicly denounced General Urquiza os suthor or instigator of the movement, and was ii. march toward the Eatre- Rios frontier, with a force of from four to five thou- sand men, to demand ratisfaction. Hon. Charles O. Jenkins, of Georgia, declines be- ‘ing a candidate for Governor. He is an anti-Kaow Nothing whig, and as there are now but two parties f© Georgis—the American and democratio—Mr, Jenkirs soys that as he is neither a democrat nor a Kaow Nothing, there is no place for himin the com- img contest, In bis letter he fevors the Columbus Movement for a Southern party, and says if the Kaow Nothings will unite with them their objects may be accomplished. ‘The rain storm of Friday afternoon cansed a sori ous break in the Champlain Canal, near Sohuyier- ville.

Europe. ‘orm We publish elsewhere an article from the lution”—“the revolutionary deed is slready done’’—“‘the moment of colif@ion has arrived and is past”—Massachusetts may hope, on withdrawing from the Union, for the eom- panionship of the ‘best States”—and so on. These gloomy anticipations, it is right te say, are predicated on the case ef the siave Beras at Boston, and on the paseage of the personal liberty bill in Maesachusetts. M. Felix Belly, who writes in the.Pays, takes an equally des- ponding view of matters, though, a8 was na- tural in a Frenebman, with less acourate infor- mation on the business in hand. To ‘his mind, the ] liberty bill of Massachusetts, ap- plied to all the free States, and including of course the nullification of the Fugitive Slave law, would answer every purpose, and would “recall America-to’the true principles of Chris- tian societies and her own constitution.” Mixed with the argumentsof both writers is a good deal of the usual trite nonsense .about the United States; though, we are bound to say, it is less conspicuous than usual, and does not in general interfero with the main chain of the ar- gument. To these two acgurs of evil we may add the Edinburg Review which, in a recent article marked by great ability and great ignorauce, proved spparently to its. own satisfaction that the American Union had seen its best days, and was now going to-wreck and ruin—all through the institution of slavery, and because Congress would not abolish it. It is a pity, for the sake of these counsellors of ours, that this nation should occupy the posi- tion it does at this time towards France and England. For it»will be impossible for many very well meaning persons to divest themselves of the idea that the rumored sympathies of the United States with.Russia had something to do with the despondency of our friends across the water. Without impugning their honesty, we all know how » man engaged in a fierce strug- gle is likely to feel towards one who appears to give comfort to his.antagonist; and how prone he is to discover in the sympathizer moral defects and symptoms of ruin which would never have struck fits notice had his sympathies leaned the other way. Hosts of people, we fear, will come to the conclueion that the French and English editors would never have discovered the imminent peril in which this country ap- pears to stand had we joined in the cry against the Czar. Itisalso to be regretted—though in a less degree—that these two transatlantic nations should have so clear an interest in the dirsolution of the American Union. If it were not as obvious as it is that the United States are slipping ahead of them and that in a very few years there will be but one first class Pow- er in the civilized world, the prophecies of these writers would carry more weight. As it is, why, one cannot help muttering to ones- self the old adage about the wish being father to the thought; and as it is quite certain that f this Union were divided, and the South ar- rayed against the North, the two sections would balance each other, and the Western Powers of Europe'might not only ruie.the roast unmolested at home, but make what terms they chose with the new republics here, it seems difficult to exact from the general mass of readers in this country implicit faith ia predictions in whose falfilment the prophet is £0 palpably interested. For all these grounds of distrust, it is not to be disguised that the articles in question con- tain much which men cannot do better than ponder. It is unfortunately quite true that the collision between the State of Massachu- setts and the federation has already taken place in law, and only waits an opportunity to take place in fact. It is not likely that a second Burns case will occur, because the present ad- ministration is pretty sure to pursue a forbear- ing policy, in order to allow the present agite- tion in the East to subside; bat if a rigid Southerner insisted on his legal rights, the col- lision would be inevitable. In course of time, if no accident eccurs, it seems probable that returning calm, combined with the retaliatory measures about being adopted by the Southern Legislatures will effect a change in the New England mind; but in the meauwhile, we eleep on the brink of a volcano. The Union is actually at the mercy of any hot-heeded slaveowner, or fanatical prrson, Revelutions are never begun deliberately, or with anything like a full view on the part of the leaders of the ultimate object of their acts. Man sets the wheel in motion. Fate alone de- cides bow long it shall turn and where it shall stop. He would be a bold man indeed who would say what might be the end of any dis- turbance that might occur in New England on the slavery question at the present time. We repeat, the comments of these foreigners, malicious or interested as they may be, deserve careful sorrowful study in view of the coming Presidential election with such an arch-agita- tor as Wm. H. Seward already in the figld as the candidgte of the abolition party. Year by year the fanatical cry gains ground. In the last twen. ty years abolitionism has grown from the watch- word of a hole and corner faction afraid of the light, to be the cardinal principle of one of the three political parties of the country which has @ man ready to run for President next year. It is nuscrgpulous, energetic, un- wearied. Its very lack of igngible basis is @ gource of strength, Men fought more fiercely for transubstantiation than they ever will for free trade; and in like manner New England is fiercer to-day for the abolition of slavery, of which she soes, knows, understands nothing, and which does not concern or affect her in the least, than she would be for the right of sailing the open seas, F It rests mainly with the great middle States of the Union to decide whether this rabid sect of fanatics shall dissolve the Union or not, They cannot do it without our leave. Massa- churetts may bluster and grow angry ; but let it be well pondered on both sides the water, there can be no division between the slave and the free States until all the latter act in con- cert. So long as New York and Ponnaylyauia re true to the Union, New England may be troubleeome, but she cannot be fatal to the na- tion. She may threaten, but we fear no threats ; her delegates may withdraw from the national councils, 80 did those of South Carolina, and no one is any the worse ; she may preach secos- sion, the orators in Mississippi and thereahouts have doue nothing else for years, Th ny thrive on it, and £0, it is to be hoped, will New Bng- ‘election, the croalyers across the water will not tee their dreams realized in'a hurry. TION ON ‘THE Cupan QuesTion.—One of the members of President Pierce’s Oabinet has I oe ATTEMPT TO | Ur ras Apumisrra- been recvéntly ‘visiting the South, and has availed himself of opportunities to endeavor to whitewash ‘an administration which is cer- tainly in great need of purification. In a speech made by this gentleman in the town of Vicksburg, Mississippi, he felt it necessary, in order to propitiate the filibustero element ex: isting in the home of General Quitman, to depict President Pierce as being in the highest degree favorable to the acquisition of Caba, whether by fair bargain with Spain, or by force and arms. We know not with what suc- cess his eloquence was attended there; but we do know that all the eloquence of Demosthenes could not erase from the minds of the Creoles, and the friends of Cuban independence, the burning conviction that Franklin Pierce, while he spoke them fair, played them false. It isa hard matter to argue in the teeth of accomplished facts, and it is an exercise of resolution which rarely meets any sufficient reward. In the case of Cuba, the facts are all dead against the present administration. Words alone are but poor evidences of senti- ment, when arrayed against the inevitable logic of deeds. The Presidential inaugural kindled in the hearts of the Creole population of Cuba, and of their sympathizers in this country, the confident hope that under the régime of its author Spanish dominion in Cuba would be extinguished, or that at least the government of the United States would take no means to prevent a consummation so devoutly to be wished. Under that justifiable impression, a new impulse was given to the operations of menced to pour large contributions into the treasury of the Junta, while those in the South who longed for the acquisition of Cuba, engaged to contribute two dol- lars for every one given by the Cubans. In this state of feeling on the subject, Mr. Pierce, And so the ardor which had been created by effected, but the object aimed at was obtained. ‘Waa this a proof of Mr. Pierce’s sympathy with the cause? What difference is there between such a course and that of a false mediator, who would say to a weak man or a weak nation in arms for the protection of his or its rights, “Lay down your weapons: Iwill make your cause my own,” and then, having effected so much, leave that man or that nation in a worse condition than ever? That has been the way in which President Pierce evinced hissympathy for Cuba. i But not fa that way alone. After the vision of purchase had vanished, he professed the kindest feelings towards the leaders and the objects of the filibustero movement, which was revived, but under less auspicious circum- stances; and through his creatures he wormed himeelf into their confidence and obtained their secrets. But did he keep them? The fate of Pinto and Estrampes garroted, and of Felix condemned to the chain gang, gives a terrible answer to the inquiry. We set up these acts of Mr. Pierce as testimony against hie mere worde, and ask the country to find the verdict, “guilty or not guilty?’ Curious Mrerivc—Waat’s rw THE Wivp?— In our perzonal intelligence of yesterday there was the following notification:—“ The Honora- ble Pierre Soulé, late Minister of the United States to Spain, and A. Dudley Mann, arrived in the city last night, and are stopping at the Me- tropolitan Hotel.” This is a very curious co. incidence. We have shown heretofore, from the correspondence of Mr. Dudley Mann, that he was the inventor of the original red repabli- can, sans culotte, filibustering European policy of Mr. Pierce—that it was Mr. Mann who was the real author, not only of Marcy’s circulars upon republican diplomatic toggery, but of the Ostend Cuban programme, out and out. We have shown that Mr. Mann was sent over to Europe to carry out this programme. Oar readers will alsoremember what followed: The Ostend manifesto—its rejection by the adminis- tration—the resignation of the Spanish mission by Soulé—the indignation of Messrs. Mason and Buchanan, and last, though perhaps not least, the resignation by Mr. Dudtey Mann of his post of Assistant Secretary of State: We repeat, therefore, that this meeting of Mr. Soulé and Mr. Mann in New York, just at this time, is a most extraordinary affair. Does Mr. Mann come on as a mediator between Marcy and Soulé, or as an assistant of the latter in arranging the moterials of his forthcoming book? As far as compatible with the publio interests, we thould like to know. Foreroners tv Arms AGAmnst THE MAINE Law.—We notice in one of the French papers in this city acall for a meeting at the Red Republican rendezvous in Leonard street, to take place on Monday next. This is part of a movement gotten up by various foreign sicie- ties here, to resist by an armed force—a “For- eign Brigade’—any attempt to execute the Prohibitory Liquor law, which goes into effect on next Tuesday evening week. We are also informed that the Germans are already organized and ésflled for the same purpose. This mevement was probably caused by the report that the Governor of the State intended to ca}l out the militia to assist in the execution of the Jaw. Onur advice is to ali well disposed Frenchmen to keep away from the mect- ings in Leonard street. If they feel ex- cited on the subject, let them put a lit- tle more water in their clarct, end keep as cool as possible, New York is not Paris, and we have no Faubourg Ssint Antoine. Wo advise the Germans to lay down their arms— stick to the Opera, lager bier, gymnastic feats, Von Webcr’s music and their singing feasts. Let the Prohibitory law alone. You will only burt your own cause by being too hasty in its defence. A foreign armed mobin the streets of New York would be shot down like dogs in # very short apace of time, and at exceedingly chert notice. Let the French aad Germans re- member this, MAND FOR "The democratic soft shells have made arrange- ments for @ grand jollification in this city on the 30th, and they have invited Mr. Wise ani Mr. Senator Hunter, of Virginia, to take a lead- ing hand among the speakers on the occasion: ‘The democratic hard shells, as will be seen by our advertising columns, resolved not to be the Cuban Junta. The Creoles in Cuba com- with Jesuitical cunning, of which we never would have thought him cape, appointed Soulé as Minister to Spain, with instructions to enter into negotiations for the purchase of the island. Look at the deep trick and its natural results, The Creoles in Cuba, and the Cuban sympathizers, reasoned thus:—“What avails it for us to pour our offerings into the coffers of the Junta when the United States government is itself about to procure our free- dom from Spanish despotism by purchase?” the inaugural enunciations, cooled down uader the sense of its inutility. The bargain was not PM nag Bae ed NEW YORK HERALD, SUNDAY, JUNE 24, 1855. ‘Wise axp Honrer, or Vineisua.— outdone by the softs, are going to anticipate them, and hold a grand pow-wow on the 27th ; and here, too, Mr. Wise and Mr. Hunter, of Virginia, are prominent among the speak- ers expected. This seems to us a very funny procees for the reunion of the scattered democracy—a hard shell meeting on the 27th, and a soft shell meeting on the 30th. Would it not be better for the two factions to recon- sider the matter, and split the difference in a cousolidation meeting on the 28th or 29th, half- wey between the Stuyvesant Institute and Tammany Hall? We submit the question to Augustus Schell and Csptain Rynders. The Gemocracy never can unite unless they come together—that’s certain. And unless they can fraternize, how is Mr. Wise to act? Will he undertake to determine which faction are the democracy and which are not, when they can’t determine that question among themselves? The-plan of the Tammany meeting is the true plan. Let hards and softs agree to make the repudiation of the administration the basis of a reconciliation. Mr. Wise will meet them upon that platform, but otherwise he will most pro- bably remain at home, Let Mr. Schell and Captain Rynders take the subject into imme- diate consideration. EnTERTaIvMeNT TO “Live Oak Guorcs.”— At the entertainment given in this city on Friday last, at which some of the leading mem- bers of the new American party from Pennsyl- vania, Virginia, Kentucky and other States, were present, we understand that the most en. thusiastic feeling was exhibited in Mr. Law’s behalf, as the man for a national campaign upon his own platform. In fact, his availability as the national American candidate for the crisis and the new order of things foreshadowed for the future, is rapidly becoming “a fixed fact” in all quarters of the Union. The demociatic friends of Mr. Wise must be astive; and the Seward coalition must be up and stirring, or they will both be inevitably distanced by “Live Oak George,” as the champion of the indepen- dent Union American party for 1856. The ball is in motion, and “Live Oak George” is going ahead as smoothly as old ‘Rough and Ready.” Harp Tres ror Tan Horets.—There isa general complaint among all who depend for support on the money so freely scattered by our floating population, that there is no travel- ling going on this year. The fashionable hotels here had no spring business, and they find themselves in the dull months with no balance to fall back upon. There is no one at Newport, Saratoga, Lake George, or any of the otber fashionable watering places. The railroad lines and steamboats carry but few passengers, con- sidering the season of the year. This terrible state of things isin part ac- counted for by the fact that we have had little or no hot weather as yet, but the chief cause is the hard times of last winter. Like Mr. Micaw- ber, we have been in pecuniary difficulties; we have made a few little bills, and we must make some arrangements to settle them before we can throw away our money on fashionable foolery. We are economical. We are “ laying back fora spring.” We are waiting for the new crops, which wiil be immense, aud which will set us on our pins firmly again, in spite of the war in Europe and the riots in Kansas. Tse Dory or a Harsor Masrer.—The duty of a harbor master in this port requires a3 much attention, and perhaps more, than that of any other public officer. We have been led to this remark by the number of complaints which have reached us from persons engaged in tie shipping interest, of the difficulties which have been encountered along the wharves in the East river, in consequence of the absence of one of the harbor masters from the city. Instead of attending to his duties, and seeing that vessels as they arrive are properly provided with berths, this public officer has been attending a temperance gathering at Albany, and deliver- ing Maine law speeches during the past week, while ships, as we are informed, have been lay- ing in the stream with valuable cargoes on board, waiting for the harbor master to give them a place at the wharves, Important to Doo Owngrs.—On and after Monday next all dogs that are permitted to go at large in this city, mast be duly muzzled, or snffer the penalty of the law. Let no dog, therefore, show his unmuzzled nose in any pub- lic place between King’s Bridge and the Batte- Ty, or he will be at once snapped up, convey- ed to the dog pound and there exposed to the insults of other dogs and numerous small boys during twenty-four hours. If unclaimed by his master, he will die a dog’s death. We trust that the ordinance will be strictly enforc- ed. It is quite evident that the city dogs have had their day.
