A letter from Warsaw, announcing the arrival of Majers Delafield and Mordecai, and Captain Clellen, three American officers, om their way to St. Petersburg to re- quest permission to enter the Russian army in the Cri- mea, coupled with the story that the ship Samuel Apple- tem, of Boston, had landed a cargo of fire arms at Port Battic, and otber reports about ships building at New Yerk for the Russian government, have produced a good eal of unpleasant feeling at s moment when the public mind was already sore on account of the dieas- ‘trous result of the attack on the 18th at Malakhoff. It i understood, however, that such caniid explanations Dave deen voluntarily made by the American Minister a9 ‘to leave no doubt that eo faras tha cargo of fire arma, er the building of ehips is concerned, there is little or me truth in the matter. The manner ia which the Americave identify themselves with the habits of the Wrench people, their undisguised partiality tewards the Freach metropolis, and the large sums which they ebeorfully poy for the best and most luxurious accom modation, tends daily to knit closer together the two countries; and thoagh the policy of the State may ec- tablish » sympathy between Russia and the United States, it is evident that this cannot, in the long ran, destroy the growing interest which the French aod Americans daily exhibit towards one another; aad though little events, such as those we have alluded to, may momentarily disturb the stream of good will as it flows along, the disturbance is but a ripple in the cur- vest, serving to show its generally smooth and placid ehanne: ‘The Empress of the French arrived at Pau at half- past eight on Tuesday evening; her Majesty was enthu- siasticaly welcomed. Tt is to be hoped she will derive the benefit of which her health evidently stands in neod fwom this visit to the Eaux Bonnes, It is imponsibie pot to obrerve that her constitution is of the most dali- eate character, and little fitted to the imperiour duties of ber ea position, The mere necessity of re tarping the salutations woich, day after day, welcome Der appearance in public, must be irksome aud fa: tigni the extreme to so fragile a form; and wher I lant saw her Majesty at the Exhivition, performing her duties with her accustomed grace and amiability, and witneseed, at the same time, her pale and languid visage, 1 felt a pang, doudtiess shared by many others, that so Mttle repose was given to one evidently deeply in need of i. Much bas been said about the bealth of the Em peror, too, which at one time caused great uncasiness, But} believe the following to be nearer the truth then any ctatement that has hitherto been made. Adoata fortnight ago his Mejesty suffered from violent throb- ding of the temples, and consulted his friead and medi- ir. Comneau, who prescrided a bain de pied she head with iced water. The relief, hov- ever, was only temporary, and a few dx} tee throbbings returned with such alarming vie- lence that it was thought necessary to bleed the patient freely, since which, with a con- stant application to the foot bath, the symptoms ceased, and the Emperor is looking quite Dimself again. Indeed, except fora few hours, the at- tack wae never suffered to interfere with hia habite o’ Busipess, and only comfined him to the palace one day. It js not to be wondered at, however, if the slightest in- @isposition in the life of one who has become the po.a: en which ali Europe turns, should cause inquietuie, and Inte cam it occasion surprise that one whose baad is myon everything, whose brain must be ceeselessly in agi- tation, whois hirurelf the State and nothing but th® Sate when the vessel is in shallow waters and breakers are abead, ehovld, in spite of that determined will which holds bimeelf, no less than others, in such complete sud- jection, sometimes give evidence that he ia mide of eisy, like the reat of us.

In my last I informsd you that Mr. Dodge, United States Minister at Madrid, had been grasiousiy rectived by the Quees. I am now able to give you Mr. Dodge’s speech and her Majesty's reply. It was a Sunday, 17th June, at balf past 4 P. M., that her sty the Queen, accompanied by the Minister of Foreigo Affaire and of the Palace, recelved in private au- dience, with all the formalities, at the Palace of Aran- guez, Mr. A. C, Dodge, the United States Miaister Pleni- potentiary. ; Mr. Dodge, on presenting bis credentials, apoke as fol- lows:— Mapaw—aAt the moment of presenting the letters of gredence which accredit me in the quality of Envoy Ex tracrdinary and Minieter Plen'potentiary of the Unived States to your Majesty, 1 fulfil the orders of the Preni- cent ofthe depublis in expressing to yon tl werte of friendship and high esteem he entert your royal person, The most cere desire of the Presi- dent avd of the American people is tosee tightened and consolidated the azcient aad amicable relations which sted between the government of the United States. For mg T. shall fil tne office with am bonored, as much by duty as from personal inclination, I shall meglect nothing which my contribute to do away with every cause of difficulty between the United states and Spain; and I Will labor with assiduity and constancy towards the de- velopement of the interests and prosperity of the two nations, Allow me, madam, to express, in coaclusizn, the sincere views Lentertain for the happ'ness and we!- fare of your royal person and of your fami y. The Queen replied :— MoystkuR LE MinisTRE—I have heard with much plea- sare the expressions of friendship you hav: addressed to re in t) e name of the President of the United States, in presenting the letters which accredit you to mp ag Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotent ary of the Copfederation; and I am bappy to de able to assure yoa, that you may make it known to the President, that the eentinents which animate me for his p friendly. I desire earnestly as the noble American people to behold ¢rawn closer the old and good relatione which happily exist between Spain and the United States; and I doubt not thet for your part you will con- tribute to thet result, eqaally advantageous tor the two nations, by seconding the desires of which ray govera- ment has given proof to put aside el! motives of diti- culty with the government of the United States. I you thanks for the wishes yon form for my welfare and that of my family, ani you may rest assazed that you will find at my Court the weloome which is due to your Dighly dietingaished personal qualities. This was nothing more, of couree, but a repetition of the expressions that had passed in their first interview between the American Envoy and the Spanish Miafster of Foreign Affaire, in which both bad concurred in a most cordial understanding of settling amicably all the questions pending between the two countries. The Hon. Mr. Dodge was also accompanied in his Official visits by the Secretary of the Legation, Mr. Perry, much to the artonishment, I muat add, of many who deemed that the official race of the former American Minister's secretary wes run, aud this fer many an obvious reaton, which I do not feel jus*ified for the present in dwelling upon. Thus far has the diplematic intercourse between the two countries been formally renewed. What the rea! miseion of Mr. Dodge is will of coarse remain « dip!o- matic secret. But, whatever it be, it is easy enough te foresee at once in what it will end. Waether he be Gizected to renew the proposals made by Mr. Souls, or werely to further the American claims against Spain, the u.timate reault must be equally negative. In tie first cage, no overtures purporting any igea of cession of the nd of Cuba would have any kind of chance of being entertained by any government The spirit of national pride hae been roused in this question, aad public men, of all partes, have unsnimously ’pro- claimed that the nation’s honor w ereated in re- jecting ail terme of digect or indirect sale ‘As for the settling of the pending clsims, it may or may not come tos satisfactory issue; but tha negotia- tions they will bring on will most lixely, for aey one at all connected with the Spanish offictal habits, tire out more than one more miniater’s prtience. ‘Tbe ready resolution that bas been come to in the question of the Black Warrior mast not lead to a sappo- sition that the reat will be as promptly and satiscac- torily despatched: for the satisfaction ollerad ia thin instance wee evidently nothing more tnan the resalt of a figue against Mr. Soule, and also, perhaps, sire of serving the interests of the nec who had ingratieted himeelf with the min’ by teking up the Spanish eide of the tiom in the difficultes that arose tetweea the American envoy and the Spanish government.

Avy tax of thie natare will be rejected by the ‘entire Cortes. As yet the Minister has mot presented his project. So you see, the state of the tressury is very bad. The actual expenses of the governmeat exceed certainly 75 millions of dollars, and the ordinary reve fe calou- lated at 53 millions, or with extraordinary taxation, at 66 millions, leaving @ deficit of 10 millions of dollars, which it is not easy to say how the government will cover, inthe desperate situation in which it actually finds itself, and especially when it is adolishing all the contrioutions of the former tariffs, It is not enough that there should be some improvements in the Navy and Treasury Departments, whilet the scandalous sals- ries of the great officials are left uavonched; untu this ia cone, ano half the pension list stricken off, the nation will never be solvent, much Jess wo if the interior dia- orders should become more compl'cated. ‘The floating debt of Spain on the Ist of June was more than 29 millions of dollars. It has been said that the government was about to reorganize the national militia, but it is mot true, for the t well knows that any al t to trammel or impede this body by obnoxious laws would be repuleed by the Cortes. The legislative sessions con- tinue im their usual course, occupying themselves with various eudjecta of general interest, aad the bases 22d and 23d of the new constitution, A new jaw witb re. gard to education will soon be promulgated; many depu- ties wisded to allow freedom of teaching, but the propo- sition fell through. The Carlists disappesr et some points, but re-appear at others, generally commanded by priests. The govern- ment in the meanwhile is not asl-ep, and shoote all the factions who fall mto ite banda. The Queen has re- turned to Macrid from sry before the usual period, im consequence of ‘the there from cholera? neverthelees, this evil scourge does not make much pro- gress in Madrid nor in this province. It appears to be certain that Monsigneur Franchi, Le- gate oF Charge a? \ifaren of the Pope, will leave it ere in cOmsequence of orders from home. The general opinion in Rome 1s that the Pope ought not to preserve relations with Spain, im contequence of the sanction of the law of release trom mortmain, whish, according to nen! uy cepted cree without regard to the decorum of an inde- pendent people. But this was one of the great mistaxes of the rado’? administration, which has contri- buted so much to the rising of the faction; as, on ac- count of the many privileges accorded to the clergy by {t, that body became seif-relying, and, throwing off the mask of submission, present themselv ow, making ‘wor against the existing government. ‘nist the Span- Ww. ish clergy, with its general stupidity, did nothing but murmur egainst the constitutional government, wituout roceeding to hortilities, that government looked upon it with the indifference which it deserved: but now, when they not only conspire openly, but without shame or compunction present themselves in arme against tha government-now, when from the proudest bishop to the smallest shaveling. they scatter their money to aup- port civil war, and to sgaia entail this ssourge upon the nation, it would not be bed for our government to call to mind what a deputy said in thefamous French *on- vention, when it bece: parent that the nobles uo clergy were conspiring agaiast the interests of Ii “The frogs are raising their heada out of the lak which another answered, ‘So much the better—it is so much the easier to cut them off.”” Some people say that our government have sought the mediation of France in our affairs with the Pope; but if this were true, it would be a new mark of stupidity on the part of tne present administration, and of want of consideration {.r its own dign'ty, after the action of the Cortes im the matter; but nothing is known with certainty regarding thie. In the (azet/ce of yeaverday appeared a telegraphic communication from Paris, pro bably from an ambassador at that court, to the effect that the Secretary of the U.S. Legation in Mexico was coming to replace Mr. Perry, the present Secretary of that Legation in Madrid. as yet, this news being iso- ated, and not baving bean confirmed in any foreign RY , We cannot credit it; not because we believe that Mr. ulé will not, through his intrigues, seek to lojure Mr. Perry, whose conduct, in respect to the true interests of his country is #0 strongly contrasted with that of the ox-Minister. Mr. Perry hes obtained for his country every possttls result in the existing subje:ts of difference between the two nations.

In the military circles of this city the late events at the seat of war have given rise to considerable dissus- sion, Less importance is now attached to the opera. tions of the allies in the Sea of Azoff, than oa receipt of the first telegraphic despatches, au 1t appears that they have only bombarded, not occupied Genitcbi and Arabat, and that the Russiens ars consequently still in possession of the military road along the Sivache, instead of being restricted to the isthmus of Perekop. It is asknowleig- 4, however, that the destruction of such enormous magazines of grain and provisions of all kinds, and of a whole fleet of coasting veesels, must be 2 heavy blow to the Murcoviter, although falling more upon private individuals than upon the governm And besiies, these operations evince an energy and activity to which the allies bad not accustomed us since their first landing in the Crimea, and which shows plainly that a new spirit has been infused into them by the restless act daring genius of Pelissier. But the real decision is stili before the walls of Sebestopcl, and here, too, the be tiegers have made greater progress withia the laet few weeks than during the whole course of this tedious and protracted campaign. In fact, the capture of the Mime- Jon vert ia the first actaal step made towards tuking the fortress itself, (or at least the southern part of it), #l former attempts baving been conflued to an inefiectual pombardment, and to bloody but aimlsse struggles about rifle pits and ambuscades, The failure of the assanlt on the Malakoff tower is undoubtedly aserious contretem , and proves that th ot dismayed by defear, tremity; but ic ia generaily b. mander will return to the at'ack at the first favoranie opportunity, por rest till he bas planted the tri color on tbe battirmente of that terridletort.

At 3 o’clock in the afternoon of the 6th, as I had the honor to inform you, the artillery of our right attack opened on the place, The English batteries commenced their fire at the same moment, and they were support- ed a8 soon as possible by a part of the batteries of our left attack.

Darng the suspension of arms for the barisl of the dead on tne Sth of June, the army naturaily flocked with extreme curiosity to examine the scene of the terrific: contest of the previous night, to contemplate tne works by which the Russians had contrived to mate and hold that strong position, and to observe the effect of our fire on these huge entreachments, It is it time: that our engineers had the opportunity of exam- ining thoroughly the extraordinary fortifications which have go long and ro eflectaally baftied their efferte.

Jt is not tco much to say that the occupation of the Mamelon has retarded the fall of the place by a conpis of months, and the importance the Rustians witsched to the de- fence of it was by nomi xoggerated. But, on the other hand, as this great work now forms rt of the French lines, ard these enormous embank- ve siready bren turned ageicat the fortress, k om thix point has acquired # solidity which it never tefore possessed.

It is evicent, from the last reports we bave received, that the bombardment did establish a marced ority of the fire of the allies over that of the Russiane; for while our correspondents have been easbied te wit- nese and describe the results of the fire on the Russian works, not ® gun was dismounted in our trenches, and not a parapet thrown down.
