THE NEW YORK HERALD. WHOLE NO." 7125. a — - ARRIVAL OF THE ABAGO IMMENSE 10 ICEBERGS MET WITH, Dangers of the Voyage at this Season, CAUTION TO SHIPMASTERS. A New Steamship Company. 2HE W4R WITH ENGLAND. Speeches of Cobden and Palmerston The United States mail steamstlp Arsgo, Captain Lines, which left Havre on the 138 of February, arrived at this port early yeste:Jay mosning. The Arago brings 111 passengers, the usual matis, and €40 tons valuable merchandise; also, three despatches from the British government to their Minister at Wash- dngten, one from Mr. Buchanan aud ove from Mr. Mason. She experienced strong westerly gales on the passage, ‘nd.was detained 54 hours on the easterm edge of the banks by the ice. February 22, 6 A. M,, lat. 47, long. 46, passed three ica- bergs. From that time until the 24th, at noon, Int. 44 24, Yong, 40, were constantly picking our way amongst ice- bergs, large and smal! pieces and patches of closely packed broken icog@ir « part of two nights stopped, and at other times were running slow, fcequently stopping and backing to avoid collision with dangerous pieces. At noon of tho 22d found that we were in the bight of ® bay of closely packed broken ice and lenge and small icebergs, extending from southeast around to north, as dar as could be seen, with no open water to westward. Stood to the North in hopes of finding an opening, but after running about 30 miles found the ice extended to the northward and eastward as far as could be seen, About chip and stood back again to the South, exploring whatever had the appearance of a passage; at one tine rupning into a deep bay for 30 miles, which we ound closely blocked up, and bad to stand out again. In this way we made 200 miles soutbing, without sesing any ‘pen water to westward betore we found a passage. The quantity of ice seen, trom the largest sired icebergs gradualy down to the emellost pieces and packed ice, ex- werded anything of the kind that Capt. Lines has ever seen or heard of about the Benks before; and asit is now early in the season, he is a’raid that, & few weeks, the widest track tor European navigation will be impeded by this dangerous foe. He would, therefore, most respest- fully recommend to ell shipmasters'to go south of the Banta in going to Europe this season, and in coming, to ‘westward; when approaching the ioe track in thick wea- ther or inthe night to use the utmost vigilance, and have their ships under perfect command for any ms. péuvre ata moment’s notice. ‘ The news by the Arago has been anticipated by th tival of the America at Halifax. There is nothing in reference to the diplomatic dificul- Cen between the United Siates and Epgiand. The mo- Geration of tone adepted by Loy) Palmerston ta hia speech to the House cf Commons on the 8th ultimo, eaus- eda geveral feeling of eatistaction, and the advices re- weived from this n'de are also favorably interpreted. Any fear cf war between the two countries had evaporated. A talegraphis despatch from Alexandria states that an insurrection had broken out at Damanpoor, near Cairo, among the Bedouins, on the subject of the reseut enrol- iments of the militia, and that troops had been despatsh- ed to put down the movement, which threatened to be serious, A telegraph'c despatch from St. Petersburg annoances that Prince Gortschakoff is appointed Commaader-in- Ohief of the armies of the West and Centre, ana Imporial Lieutenant of the kingdom of Poland. Tt was ctated in « letter from the French camp that in an affair with the Russian outposts, the Sardinians suc- ceeded in making 200 prisoners. § In answer to a question from Mr. Lingard, on the 12th nit., Lord Palmerston explained that the reason wiry the Sardivian Ambatsador had been excluded from the con- ferences at Constantinople was in consequences of its having no reference to the war, but merely to the inter- nal ayrangements of tie Turks. The General Screw Steam Shipping Company has dis- posed of eight of their largest steam vessels to au Anglo- Freneh company, for £500,000. They are the Jason, In- diaza, Golden Fleece, Calcutta, Argo, Queen of the South, Hyduspes and Lady Jocelyn. These splendid screw clip- pers sre intended to be laid on as soon a8 posaibie on an fastern route, to sail regularly from Havre to the Cape of Goed Hope, the Isle of Remicon, (Bourbon,) Mauritius, Deylop, Madras and Calcutta, calling at Southampton out snd home. It is understood that a mixed board of French and English direct-ra, of great influence and wealth, will De speedily formed to conduct the affairs of the company. It is also said that the company further intend to extend the line to the Brazile. A large meeting of the ercditors of the great ahip- builcers, Messra. Scott & Russell, whose bankruptey was woade known a few days rince, had taken place. It was expected that a good dividend would ba paid to the ere- Aitors, Arrangements were also proposed for the oom- pletion of the leviathan steamship.

Russia has gone down im the political market of Lon- gion since it has beem positively known that the war is over. The public mind ix no longer occupied with the {Crimes or St. Petersburg, but ix busily occupied with vain endeavors to pierce imto the deep recesses of the diplomatic gare ehortiy to begin in Paris, where the Plenipotentiaries of the late belligerents are to assem- bles few days hence. Ihave already told you that the people of this country were disconcertel by the unex- pected rumors of peace, and are deeply disappointed by the abrupt termination of the war. The universal de- ‘mand throughout the land is, ‘What have we gained for sli our expenditure in blood and treasure!” The answer to this preguant ques. tion can only be given when the terms of peace are definitively settled at Paris. It is beginning to be known here that the war stopped besause the French Eaiperor juad no inclination to go on any longer, for reasons he considered sufficient. It is, further, beginning to be sua- pected here that there is some recent understanding be- ‘ween France and Ruseis, and that there is, perhaps, some chance of the scheme of the First Napoleon being yealized in @ Russo French alliance. What may be she private inclinations or public views of the French Emperor it is useless to discuss, since no man knows Detter how to keep his own secrota, It is cortaia that ‘Russia finds it her interest to make peace, or she would not doit, She finds it a tough job to contend, single handed, with the alliance, and she is, no doubt, per. feotly aware that if she wishes to renew her game of conquest b ter, she can do it under far more favor- able circumstances than at present. As ‘or Napoleon Ill, I bave sufficiently discussed in a former letter bis motives for « pacific policy. He is the est judge of his own interests. Fngland, however, I re- peat, both government and people, is sorely disap print- ed at the unlooked for turn that matters have taken, In the ee contest with Russia it is universally felt here that Fnglan¢ has got the worst ofit, and that Yranze has acquired all the credit. It is now pratty generally feared that unless English diplomatists are reatly superior to English generals, John Bull will re- farn home from thenegotiations at Paris wofully humilia- ‘ted in his own eyes and a Janghing stock to ‘other na- tions. It then remainsto be seen whether Jola Ball will wrap himself up in saokeloth and ashes and weep over the shame thet bas fallen on him; or will he, with flashivg eyes and flushing cheeks, roll up hia shirt aieeves and break his stick over the leads the tifled noodles who, as generals and diploma tits, Dave wasted ls money and cishongred his charastect ot | 1 predict the latter, ard can cleaciy (orgsee that @ “bad time comfog” for mauy 4 “noble lor? thought his unmortality taevital Lord Vaimeraton, when be found that be wuut follow the lend cf France and make peace with ius koew very well the indignation that would break out ia Eag. land, and which might goso fer as to eject him froar office and cestioy hia popularity.

Lord Palmerston raid that Mr. Buchenan, the American Kipister, had declared himself *‘aatisfed” with the ex- Planation made by Lord Clarendon. cn the recruitment quertion. Now, I feel myssit authorized, afier an in- veatigaticn, to state that “Mr. Buchanan never deslared anything of the sort. Mr. B. merely wrote, as far back asin July last, tbat it ‘‘would afford him satisfaction’ to communicate the explanativn of Lord Clarendon to his government at Washington. That was the usual dipio. matic phrase. I will not say that Lord Palmerston mace wanton use of Mr. Buchanan's name to got himself out of a scrape, for that would be 120 foxy, but the Americans here ail think so, and it really does Jook like it. The factis, seither Lord Palmerston ncr the Zimes ike Mr. Buchanan, and they piteb iato him every chance they can get or can invent. ufaps they hope to meke him lose hia temper, and thea outwit him in negotiation. The expertenced cage of Lancaster, how- ever, understands that trick. and, besides, is blest witha mild disprition, as his enemies cught to know, since he forgives them all, anc has even lent them money, « Chris- tian virtue not included in the decalogue. Did you ree what the Times said of Mr. Buchsnan’s “black coat’’ at the opening of Parliament, and have you read the rejcinéer of the facetious Punch, who seems to have a hearty affection for Brother Jonathau?

Paris is in a lively state of fermentation, because of the gracd Conference, which, {t is presumed, will open its deliberations om Monday next. The British Ambassador, Lord Cowley, started off to London on Sunday last by « special train and steamer, He was accompanied by a secretary expressly selected for the ocsasion. His Excel lency’s sojourn is to be till Friday, when, after confer- ring with the Cabinet oa the necessary preliminaries, he will return to Paris, Lord Clarendon {a to accompany him. The English Minister for Foreign Affairs will take up his quartere at the new Hotel du Louon, whose co- Jogea! proportians and discipline are borrowed from your side the of Atlantic, Toe residence of euch a Minister at such an epoch in the world’s history cannot fail to af- ford some eclat and prestige to this novel speculation. If one may judge from the prevailing tene of society, France is inevitably drifting into a pacifi: state. The advent of Russian nobles is spoken of with the same con- fidence ss the rise of the sun to-morrow. Nay, the ar- rival of the Czar, to bea guest at the Tuileries, is looked upon as & natural event, which will be sure to happen about the time of the swaliows’ visit. Pans arealready breaking forth in his honor. It is said his Majesty has Already ceen the impolicy of o.ntinuing a course obedient to the will of Peter the Great; that he has resolved, henceforth, to seek the greatness of his empire by de- veloping the resources offered to him by its immense numbers, {ts varied climate, its broad lands, its keen witted traders and its maritime outlets—that his late exemies must now theretore be his most active ales. It ie difficult not to suspect that something lies hid beneath the sudden conversion of thesé two great coun- tries, who but yesterday were cutting each other's throat with such peculiar unction. The time has not yet rived for full revelations, but it is well known that au imceseant correspondence for some months past has been kept up with the Russian Court through the Princons Mathilae, This lady’s marrisge witn Vrince Demidoff, though one of much sccial felicity to eltuer party, has been very ureful asa political medium. Tnrough this source the most strenuous exertions have been maie to caure Napoleon to break away from England. That point has not been ontenaibly gained, but it cannot be said it hes altogether failed. splendid cffers of the Rhine, of peculiar Mediterranean ilities, favorable to French commerce at Al , and othe: of a similar character, though declined, hi behind, th effect of which will, it {6 sai, be generally visible next week on the opening of the Conferences. Caar’s deprecation of apy pecuniary exaction on the ground of compensation for the war, though totally oppored to the ractice of Russia in simitar cases, and in regard to France in particular, is listened to with mort Christian like complacency; in fact, bodes. kindness and good will. In the meantime, Turkey seems ina fair way of discovering that her friends are about to treat her as that acute Jawyer cid his clients, who made him the arbi- trator of their dispute for possession of the oyster, to each of whom he gave a shell, guiping down the savory bivalve himeelf, as inéemnification for the judgment he had given. Mussulmen are to be allowed to turn Christians without tneurring civil disadility—a consummation which, however desirable, strikes as much at the root of the Ottoman pat politic, as if slaves in Virginia were to be permitted to dectare themselves freemen the moment they were put to work. Then again, the Ulemas, « privileged body, in whom is yes‘eo both judicial and religious funetions, as wito the Catholic bierarchy in Eu, id before the Refor- mation, are to undergo s thorough reorganization. At present they are exempt from taxation, but, notwith- standing, exercise a mystic influence over the populace, of the most powerful character. All this {s te be changed, and a new state of things ensue, modeled after the French revolution of 1789. Tne Sul too, the grave petticonted Sultan, whose creed teaches him that a ball of European fashion ix an jody to homan nature, is obliged, for the first time in hia life, to go-to one at Lord Stratford de ctiffe’s, the English ‘Ambaneador, nd this shocks bis subjects, though he unitates the condescension of the Emperor of French fn his viett on a late ocsa- sion to the hotel of the M'nglish be gay Where is all this to end? Will the people wabmit toit? Alas! they cannot help themselves; France and Bngland, their dear friends, who reecued them from the devouring jaws of Rania, each lend them a supporting arm, and embrace them with an energy and cordiality which feels very like a gripe. 40 not find that any real anxiety prevails respoctin, the difference exisiing between America aod Fagland.

When you consider that the leading l'rench papers are almecst edited by officers of the government, er that their editors pubiish nothing important without first consulting and being advised by the goverament, the Inte leading articles in the Constitutionnel, the Détats, and the Pays, are certainly very remarkable, ruflicien tly indicative of the sentiments which prevail in the Tullezies; but it remains yet tf be seen whether Louis Napoleon {s beaten by Nesselroce or whether Nesselrods is beaten by Louis Napoleon. One of the reasens which Russia had for accepting, scut reserve, the five points insisted upon by Austria, wes certainly not the inabi:ity w carry on the war for another year, but the fear that, by carrying it on too lung now, she may hereafter be compeiled to conclude & 1¢a] and lasting peacefor some ten or twenty years. ‘The ¢eccnd reason was that all European Powers, even Holland and Prussis, having taken tbe alarm, Russia could not expect, within the pext ten or twenty yeara, to make Europe the aim of ber diplomatic or warlixe am- bition, Ru:afa bas been unsuccessful in its Kuropsan demvstraticn; and abe has been euccessiul in Asia, and the peace which is about to be concluded will not pre- vent her frm pursuing her advantage in that quarter, Sho will give up her conquest in Anatolia; but abe wilt ecothue her intrigues fu Persia, in Khiwa and in Aff- ghsnistan; and it ts doubsiens the knowledge or presenti- nent ot that future policy of Russia which diminishes the ardor of British atate-men for a apeety termination of hostilities. But this is not af, The third and greatest reason which Rusala baa in accepting te:ma of peace now, coa- sists tn the probability that the peace will loosen the ia- cy and weaken the friendship whi:h es so resen: sprung up between Evgland and France; and in this ex pec’ ation rhe is certaimy justified by the effect which the mere suspension of hostilities seems to have produced in the éutente cordiale, as tar as official opinions are repre- sented'through the public journais. When Russia shall sgain heve her diplomatic representasives in Paris, the Momentary success now obtained will undoubtedly be pushed tarther. It remains, however, to be seen whe- tber the Fmperor Napoleon’ intends to pursue nisad- var tage further then to make himself equally necessary to Kussia and England, so as to be able to choore be- tween them in the interest of France. What tae Empe- ior ot the French now wants is a geceral rec guition of his dynasty and his right to the throne by a European Congress, in which himself is represented ani admitted on equal terms with all the other iegitimate sovereigns. He wants to gain a legal basir, as tar as the public iaw of Europeis concerned, for his practical act of u - tion; and nothing can in this respect be more mriking for all Europe, and for France in particular, tban to have the negotiations tramaferred to Paris.

THE CENTRAL AMERICAN QUESTION AND ENLISTMENT DIFFICULTY BEFORE PARLIAMENT—LORD PALMERS- 1ON'’8 EXPLANATIONS—THE CLAYTON-BULWER TKEATY AND DARIEN CANAL. The Asia, which left Liverptol on the 9th ult., brought us # brief tetegraphic report of the remarks mage in the House of Commons, on evening of Sth ult., by Mr. Cob- den and Lord Palmerston, on the above subjects. We have now a full report of the discuasicn which took place on that cay, which we publish this morning. In the Commons, on the 8th of February, Sr. ConpEn ree to ask for explavations from the guvernmens for the non-production of the corresponden& respecting our relations with America, He eaid:~I ask for these ex p’acations because the answer given by the noble lord at the head of the government to my inquiry the other night does not appear, for reasons I shail explain, founded ex- actly in tact. I usked the noble lord whether there would be any cbjection to lay on the table of the House the ecrrespondence respecting our present relations with Amerita? Tbe noble lurd stated, in-reply, that the cor- respondence in neither of the cases to which my inquiry referred was quite completed, snd on that ground he iefused my eppeal. Now, in order to make my ob- servations the more refidily intelligible, I must pre- mise ppd iret bod two sien ‘ at present moment, in- tions between hat, unbe) cispute «existing very serious and grave conniderat ina not, thet in 1860 the te entered :into a con- somewhat novel in teeing. the con- us of Darien. The and desire that it purpose of struction of s canal across the convention begins by expressing a ho; m.git have the effect, yee tl pear nnd amity be.ween the cont: civihvation throughout the world. The object jof the comvention was to enable parties to construct a ship canal thrc ugh ihe narrow isthmus of ‘tral America under » speciue guarantee from the contracting. Powers. Tho convention was intenced to be elastic in its operation, for the contracting Powers contemplated: invit: other Powers to join in the guarantee. Among.other it was proviced that, in case of war ships passing through this canal, or being within a. certain distance of its en- trance, should not be subject to capture-or molestation. History scarcely presested an example of a cozvention being entered into for objects more-commai ap probation. ‘The convention was agreed to in 1860, but, owing to the unfortunate propensity of diplomatlsts to involve their sentences in pbraseology whieh becomes unintelligibie not only to rs but to themselves, it neemed \ikely to be the cause of very serious quarrel be- tween the two countries. His honorable friend the member ‘or Dumfries had pro; in. this House that there shouldbe an examination of candidates for service in the. diplomatic career, and I would suggest him to require one Necrragen pire i thet they should be able to write plain and intell'gib! Englieh. Inthe present case this unfortunate di ment seems to be the more unaccountable, because both the diplomatista spoke the same language, whereas, had it been « convention between # German and an man, ora Frenehman and an Eng‘ have been some exeuse for the misund 1859 down to October in last corres} ), and in December, on the of Con- gress, the lence, #0 far as it relates to rican side of the controversy, ens; aad I ‘mention this because the noble tord says sian power in that cireotion; because, to this subject from of the enlistment, in respect to Russia becomes an Asiatic power, she ceases to threaten | which no are unfortunately involved mae dispute with and endanger the safety of Europe. {, America, and I the roble lord wiil give. am answer So, then, France and Russia are in a condition mu- | in reference. to subjest an dis from the tually to serve each other, with. this difference only, that | other.

I an oly brig forward a motion founded on documents befors Par'dament. The answer given to my question the other night by the noble lord was, that this correspondense was no in plete but he must bavo been in error in making tbat statement, because Lord Clarendon, in Sap- tember, 1855, in hie last letter to.Mr. Buchanan on the subject, uses these words:— Her Majesty's indeed, refrained from. pur- mulug the diacusaién by replying te ‘Buchanan's note ai the ondence was not ‘irely to end ton cor: nt y .

We have got int» one by the system of secret diplomacy, ard we may get into anvther in the same way. ‘Where there is carhmess there isdanger,” is as true in povluies as in the material world.

Ido mot kaow whether the nob’e \ora intends to Jay before us the papers seating to this part of the aubject; but {f he refuses on the ground that the correspondence is nob complete®, Tam at @ lets to see how we are ever to get any more papers on any subject, for i a3 only last night that he declined to produce the poziers relatingto the case of Br, Curtis, owr Eonsul at Cologne, on the ground that the correspondence was closed and thewhole matter fnaily settled. If he now refuses to give us these papers on the ground that they are uot completed, be will invest himself wich the entire responsibility; for if we are not to bave the correspondences, either tefore or after it is finished, what hold can the country bave upon the noble lord and bis govcinment.

I desire that we sbouid be, in fact, the pulse of the Bation in this question, as we are on any domestic ques- tion in which the people ‘eel interested.
