It will be within your Lordship's recollection that Mr. Clay ir Iteury Bulwer, belure the treaty of 1850 Was signed, that Ruatan was de jure ans de facto a dM. Clayton has on various occasions siuce, in “4 vith me, stated that be conshlered Raustanas tic [s British possession us Jamaica or any olher Liritish West In Itse neredible that such a statementcan have been savowed 50 soon after it was made, and under eireum- inces so critical, and yet this is now the accusation which is pressed against Mr. Crampton, and which we ave reason ¢o believe the United linistry intemds support. We must hear both sides before we condemn ly one, but to us it certainly looks as if, the attempt to fnjure Mr. Crampton by the evidence of Hertz and strobel ving fitiled, some new device was to be bit upon in der to justify, in the eyes of the American people, the Hdeterminstion of the government by some means or ano. f¢her to remove the representative of Great Britain. At h@ny rate, if Mr. Crampton only remains at Washington to he held up tothe American people as a man perpetually peatriving to undermine them by intrigue or traduce them Dy calumny; if an institution introduced and devised in interests of peace is to be perverted for the purposes of japatual irritation and recrimination, it would seem far better t, for ate at least, diplomatic intercourse should cease, at any rate, that this ground of offence should be takeu way from between us. ‘The American government is doing utmost to reconcile us to the impending dismissal of nister, aud to convince us th ouch to be regretted in ordinary dangor tan his remaining ina place where olfence ms sure to be given and taken. Something more, apparently, than the denunciations of jéheit government, the debates of their Senate, and theac jeusations of their press, is necessary to conyince th+ American people that they have fallen into the hands of nen who are embarking on wild and dangerous courses, ith no fixed object but their own immediate popularity. with no fixed principle buttheir re-election to office.

This viow of gheir government is repeatedly presented to us by edu- cated Amoricans, and we are desired to turn from the wiolence of popular leaders and scheming politicians to lhe ‘opinion of those great classes who comprise the wealth, the respectability and the equilibrium of the na- tion, All we can say is, that we have waited and ap- pealed in vain; that step after step has the government of eral Merce advanced in its career of violence and ag- ion, while mo voice has been raised, no hand stretched Out, to arre-t.a course so full of danger and discredit. America will not submit to arbitration, because she is de- termined to seize Nicaragua, whether the true terms of the Clayton treaty authorize the seizure or not, and ever: vance we make is sure to be met ina spirit whicl wecks grounds for provocation out of every effort to con- liate. From the people of America, in whose name ese things are done, but with whose consent and assent lwe firntly believe they are not done, we seek for aid in vain. ey give their government but little support, but they do nothing to control it, and by their constitution they are unable to remove it. Under these circum- }@tances, we can only reiterate the suggestions we have made before—that we should avoid all occasions of offence, evithdraw all points of contact, restrict ourselves within our Own rights, and wait with patience to see whether the objects the American rernment may nol be satisfled by some- short of the last extremity. OPINIONS OP THE FRENCH PRESS. (From La Presse, May 30.) The seriousness of Mr. Pierce’s resolution will not es- }eape any one. The United States have put their hand upon Central America. It is a far more serious infraction the Clayton-Bulwer treaty than the doubtful infraction of ‘which England is accused by the United States. Now that ‘Walker’s government is recognized, there is no doubt @hat numerous volunteers will leave New York and the United States to join and strengthen him. It is the begin- ping of the annexation. [From La Patrie, May 31.] If the United States recognise the government of which ‘Walker is the soul, they inaugurate by that single fact @owards Central America a policy of annexation which, for tho first act, tears to pieces and throws to the wind ee rer, treaty. Besides this, that act brings efore Europe and the world the question, if it is well, if 4 is just, if it is prudent that the nation which extends at ‘be North its empire from the mouth of the St. Lawrence to that of the Columbia should also possess the countries ‘watered by the Caribbean Sea and the Gulfof Mexico, and snonopolizes all the roads leading from the Atlantic to the Pacific, including the Isthmus of Panama. ‘This question, as can be sven, is of the greatest im- rtance. Let us hope that it will in due time be the sub- of serious investigation. (From the Journal des Débats, May 31.] The relations between England and ‘the United States j@ssume more and more a dark aspect. Lies are ex changed between the ministers of the two countries. Mr. Crampton, Minister from England, has affirmed that Mr. Clayton, the author of the treaty in relation to Central America, had positively recognized the sovereignty o England over the island of Ruatan. In the Semate of th ‘Whited States, Mr. Clayton has formally denied this cir joumstance, and declared that the Engtsh Minis- fer must have dreamed it. Mr. Clayton has been @upported by another Senator, Mr. Crittenden, gwho said that, on the contrary, Mr. Crampton fhad declared that there has never been question to recog ize the sovereignty of England on that point. In pre gence of those assertions, entirely contradictory, there is Bo opinion to be given. ‘Another very serious subject of diasent is preparing be- @ween the two governments. It is said that the adminis- @ration of the United Btates intend to recognize tho government of Walker, in Nicaragua, although that @ountry has an official reprosentative near the United States. This representative has already protested against Nghat intention. ‘We perceive that this news has created a great sensa- Gon in England, and that the relations between the two governments appear to be quite alarming. [From the Independance Belge, May 31.] To recognize Walker is to prociaim the annexation of all the small American republics which separate the At- Mantic from the Pacific. Atagiven moment the United ‘States would be the sovereign and absohite master of the eat continental road which, since the discovery of Cali- nia and the developement of the riches of Australia, has €aken an immense importance for the rapid intercourse of Europe with Eastern Asia and Malaisia. The Bulwer- Clayton treaty—that work of long and laborious negotia- @ions, which was made in order to prevent monopoly nd all kind of preponderance, either from England or the United States—should be torn to pieces by B coup d’éclat. There should not be any more questions fo discuss in regard to the dispositions of that convention, ‘or to invoke arbitration: the convention itself should not exist any Jonger, and the question, placed upon the ground international law and of free passage ough certain er national roads of the worid, should interest not only gland, but gil Europe. ’ La Gazette de France, June 1.] If President Pierce receives from Congress the appro- ation of his conduct, what will England, France and Russia do? A declaration of war to the United States is 9 big affair, which every ono bas to fear, not in the point of view of war, but in that of commerce. The transactions between Europe and America have ‘Decome so numerous and so active, that it is easy to fore- gee all the consequences of a rupture. One cannot think ‘without fear of the consequences of such an event, if it bad sprung up during the war with Russia, wken wo had oe demand from America gold and breadstuff to make up for the deficiencies of our crops and of our treasuries. {From the same journal, June 3. Contrary to what could be expected, the English jour- ‘als seom to have made their mourning ( faire leur deuil) of the recognizing of Walker, and are not disposed to complicate by this new wrong those which constitute already the ground of the quarrel between England and ‘the Tnited States. Perhaps they do not pretend to have the right to pro- ‘against a measure undoubtedly conforming with the inciples which the American Union has always pro- od and Piece with more or less opportunity, to- wards the foreign governments de facto, whatver might have beon their origin. Perhaps, also, they undorstand Chat the steps taken by Mr. Pierce and his Cabinet can eatly facilitate the Central American question, in leaving Sever part (le beau réle) to England. ‘The Sound Dues Question. the London Shipping Gazette, June 3. At last there is a chance that the question of the Danish Sound dues will be brought under tho consideration of Parliament. The Chancellor of the Exchequer gave no- fice, last night, that on Friday next he should move for a ‘gelect committee te inquire into the operation of the Sound ines, and to consider in what degree they are detrimon- tal to the commerce of the country. Forowarned by the experience of the presgnt session in regard to the pro- posed repeal of the lochl shipping duos, we trust that all ‘who are capable of proving how greatly our commerce ‘and navigation are taxed and interrupted by the Danish tolls will come forward with their evidence, and satisfy asvonly practical experience can, the minds of those mem bers of the House of Commons who may form the com enittee, that it is a grievous injustice Wo subject the ship ES of this conntry toa tax which the State exacting i wax no other right to levy than a permissive right from the Potvers who tolerate it. But the Chancellor of the Excbequor should enlarge his tmotion, and include in the proposed inquiry the Hanove- svorian Stade as wetl ax the Tanish Sound dues; and we will undertake to say that abundant evidence can be pro anced to prove that both tolls have, from time immemo tial, been so highly “ detrimental to the commerce and shipping of this country,’ that it woukl be but a meagre ‘atonement for the wrongs inflicted that both should be abolished, when the ¢resties under which they are at pre- gent levied have expired. AS _we presume no gentloman interested in the Anglo- Panish loan will be nominated or would consent to servo on the proposed commitice, we ara cotitent ta leave the matter in the hands of the members who may compose it ff they will but fairly put the question to themselves as to whether the Stade as well as the Sound duce are taxes ewhich ought ta be levied on British shipping, after the promises held out on the repeal of the Navigation laws, ‘and the concessions which this country has made to foreigners by their abrogation, advices we received yosterday from the Unitod States it appears that a report is current there that our government had made two distinct proposals to Denmark ‘with respect to the Sound ducs—the first being that the dues should be retained, and their contribution levied in the Baltic ports instead of at Elsinore; the second, that he imposts should be capitalised, and the sum agreed pom for that purpose dischar, by graduate payment. e feel assured that neither of these proposals could have eon seriously entertained, much less proposed, bythe British govergsuent, NEW YORK HERALD, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 18, 1856.

[From a Bad: er.ment ch [From the London Times, June 3.] ain has remained unu y tranquil during the great of the nations, Time was when this great monar- owed all other lands, aad evea where her gions had not made their way the fear of her namo prevailed. We are not about to write in a spirit of bitter- against Spaniards and Spanish things, for we know that § , Which has been well nigh for two cen- and more in an effete condition, contains within her limits the elements of a glorious future. One honor, at least, cannot be denied to her, From the Pyrenees to the Mediterranean, and from the eastern waters which wash her coast to the great Atlantic, with the single ex- ception of a mighty craig which is rather annexed ta her part of it, Spain is free from the profana- tion of foreign occupation. We do not pause to inquire how this result was brought about during the last war; suffice it to say the fact is so. Nor is there reason to doubt of the military genius and warlike qualities of the people, when Spanish air has been once purified from the taint of priestly superstition and courtly intrigue. The up- per classes, indeed, are effete and worn out. The sangre azul runs in feeble though limpid streams through the thin arteries of a stunted and degenerate race. Beneath these in social position are men who waat but opportunity tomake their names illustrious in civil policy and in com. mercial entorprise. The great heart of Spain, however, Deats strongest in the stout breast of the Spanish peasant In the mountains of Biscay, in the vast plains of Leon and Castile, and amid the sierras of Andalusia, the scene 0. many 'a knightly achievement in the old days 0. Morisco warfare, are to be found the stalwart chil- dren of the soil, from whose loins will spring the men who are destined to restore this groat country to her place among European nations. This result, however is not in Spain to be brought about by the sword. Civil conflict, indeed, must and will have its way; but until the cycle of these intestine broils is at an end, and the government of the country is brought into harmony with the wishes of the great majority of the na- tion, Spain cannot hope for improvement or progress. We are deeply interested in the fate of this magnificent coun- try. In her present prostrate condition Spain is lost to Europe and to the world. Something, indeed, has been achieved in the overthrow and flight of the dis- solute crew who polluted the court of Madrid with their presence, and of the paltry tricksters who, as _re- presentatives of Spanish statesmanship, made the glorious name of their country a byword throughout Europe for intrigue and for violated faith. We have for some timo past had our attention so keenly occupied with the great contlict in progress on the shores of the Euxine, that we have not, perhaps, paid sufficient regard to the develope- ment of Spanish liberties and to the course of events at Madrid. We had hoped that the General who had been called by universal acclamation to the direction of affairs at a time of signal danger was slowly, but surely, ad- vancing towards success—that he was’ re-establishing order—that he was reconciling the people with the Court, and defeating the intrigues of the refugees and of the false brothers who in the capital were encumbering him with their treacherous help. A great indeed, was before him—one which, if brought to a fsuccessful’ conclusion, would have immortalized his name in the an- nals of his country—to maintain order, to recon- cile factions, to introduce liberty of thought, to draw forth the virtues of the Spanish soil, and to cover the seas with Spanish ships—in a word, to pur- sue a policy of peace. Our surprise was great when the intelligence reached us that Spain had just declared war against another country; ahd greater still when it was told us that the antagonist summoned by her to the com- bat was—Mexico. A war of Spain against Mexico! It seems rather a dream to amuse the imagination than a serious incident in the sober domain of reality. We are carried back to the times of the conqueror Cortez and of his iron band—to the glories of the Indian kings and to their awful over- throw. The events of this conflict aro familiar to us all in the animated recital of the great American historian, Prescott; but they are things of another day. A Spanish invasion of Mexico cannot, surely, be connected with the progress of modern affairs. We misé all tho incidents of grave reality insuch adream. It is intelligible enough that a band of stern warriors, armed with weapons novel to the untaught India, and mounted on animals which seemed to him as monsters from another world, should fill his breast with panic and confusion. Let us suppose a band of green warriors dropped on.our planet from the moon, mounted on hippogritfs, and ‘using wea- pons which would be to our Lancaster guns what the Lan- caster gun is to the yew bow of Sherwood Forest; let us suppose these fearful strangers to touch the earth sudden- ly in Kent or the Weald of Sussex, muttering strange in- cantations, and demanding of us instant reverence for some unknown power, with death as the alternative. We should send for our great warriors and our great priests —tor the Earl of Lucan and the Bishop of Bangor; but what if they failed us in the hour of need? London might soon share the fate of the capital of ancient Mexico, Such is the idea of Spanish conquest in Southern America in bygone days; but what similarity is there between those distant times and our own? The Mexico of the Indian was not the Mexico of the half-caste, but the Mexico of the half-caste long since ejected the Spaniard from her soil. The Mexicans of our day and the Spaniards of our day would descend into the arena with almost equal arms. Can the Spain of 1856 send forth from her shores an army which could compete, with any reasonable chance of success, with the modern Mexicans, upon their own soil? We know what incredible efforts it required from France and England to transport their legions to the Crimea and to maintain them there—how prodigal was the expenditure of our treasul how great the sacrifice of Britivh andjof French and is Spain equal to a similar enterprize?’ We can- not perceive in her, under present conditions, even the remotest elements of success? All the armed force the Spanish government can muster is needed at home for the maintenance of order. Spain has no armed, no mercantile marine, worthy of serious account. It will be well for her if, with her utmost efforts, she can succeed in retaining poa- session of that magnificent island—the great jewel of the Antilles—whic hstill owns the dominion of the Spanish flag. For defence, she would havo with her the sympa- thies of Europe, for attack she would stand alone. The only result of her efforts would be to cover the Spanish name in those distant regions with new confusion and ees and to pave the way for foreign aggression in uba. ‘The Spaniard who admits into his dreams the wild fancy of regaining on the mainland of America that which, once lost, was lost to him forever, reckons without the presence of an antagonist with whom he at least is unable to cope, Not a month would pass from the day that the first of the half dozen ships which constitute the Spanish navy had driven into Vera Cruz the brig which con- stitutes the navy of Mexico, when swiftly and sharply the government at Washington would intervene in the dis- cussion, and remove its solution to the bay of Havana, Far mightier interests are at stake just now in the West than any in which Spain bears part. Let her stand aside, if she be wise, and leave the arena clear to others who may be drives to descend into it, however much against their will. Failure of a French Millionaire. ris, June 1, Correspondence of London Express.] M. Place, whose failure has caused so much consterna- tion, was a partner of the firm of Noel & Place. Before becoming connected with the Credit Mobilicr. he had a. private fortune amounting to 300.000fr. But of late years he has been living far beyond his means. He kept up the establishment of a country gentleman of large for- tune.at a chateau near Melun,where he had one of the best stocked sporting manors in the neighborhood of Paris. This place cost him not Jess than 100,000fr. a year. It is true that the expenditure served to elevate him to that financial greatness from which he has £0 suddenly fallen. M. M. do Morny and Fould, and even Prince Jerome Bonaparte honored _ his vattues with their presence. Fiye hundred — phea- sants were sometimes slaughtered in a day at this rus in url, and in return for tho sport the princes of finance let M. Place into many a good thing. The discovery of his embarrassments, to the circum: stances of which I have alluded in a former letter, took place after he had actually lett Paris for Constantinople, there ‘to establish a Credit Mobilier. Ho had reached Masseilles, and was on the point of embarking, when he received a telegraphic despatch from the house of Percire begging him to return te Paris immediately. At the same time, by way of wholesome precaution, a second despatch was sent, on proper authority, to the Prefect of the Bouches-du-Rhone, desiring him to take care that the ci-devant millionaire did not leave the country. ‘The last nows of M.

Lownon Mowry Market, Turspay Evewixo, June 3.—The quotation of gold at Paris is about 5 per mille premium (according to the last tariff), which, at the English Mint price of £3 178..104¢d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25.2934; and, the exchange at Paris on London at short being 26.36, it follows that gold is about 0.22 per cent dearer in London than in Paris, The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days’ sight is 110 per cent; and, tho par of ex- change between England and America being 109 23-40 per cent, it follows that the cegchangeo is nominally 0.42 per cent in favor of England; . after making allowance lor charges of transport abd difforence of intarest, the present rate leaves a small profit on the importation of gold from the United States. ‘Tho English funds have been steady to-day, but the market was flat towards the close.
