THE NEW YORK HERALD. WHOLE NO. 7238. ABRIVAL OF THE ATLANTIC. FOUR DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE. THE AMERICAN QUESTION. “Reception of the News of Mr. Crampton’s Dismissal. ‘PEACEFUL TEMPER OF THE ENGLISH PRESS. More Vessels of War Despatched to America ATTEMPT TO ASSASSINATE THE QUEEN OF SPAIN, MINISTERIAL FLARE-UP IN PORTUGAL. ENEWS FROM AUSTRALIA AND BRAZIL, ‘Consols, 94 a 94 1-8, ‘Cotten Unchanged—Breadstuffs Improved, &e., &e., &o. The United States mail steamer Atlantic, Captain 0. * Eldridge, from Liverpool, at quarter past threo o'clock on v the afternoon of Wednesday, June 11th, arrived about ? half past eleven o'clock last evening. Passed ship Guy Mannering coming out, off Bell buoy. ~ Ship Dreadnought getting under weigh. June 20, lat. 42 20, lon. 57, saw a bark bound East, showing a red signal >-with'a white cross, Same day, at. 42 08, lon. 59 14, saw ship Ironsides, bound West. Same time, an American ship, with painted ports, showing a largo burgee with white ground, red and blue borders, with name on it. Could not make it out. Mr. Fillmore is passenger by the Atlantic. When the Asia arrived out, on the 10th, the following was telegraphed from Liverpool, to the London News :— Against the report is the fact that Captain Lott, of the Asia, assures our Liverpool correspondents that up to 1P. M., of the 28th ult., no official communication of the dismnissil of Mr. Crampton had reached the British Consul «at New York. A telegraphic message had been sent to Washington by the Consul that morning, asking if there was any later news for England, to which an answer was « received, ‘‘ Nothing later to communicate.’’ It is, there- + fore, resimed that the report from the New York Heraty is premature. The Asia arrived at Liverpool at 7 A. M. of Monday, the 9th. Notice of Mr. Crampton’s dismissal was expected by the Asia, and a telegraphic statement from the Wash- ington correspondent of the New Yor« HERALD seeming to confirm it, the dismissal was received as a fact, and commented upon according It caused but little excite. * ment, and Lord Clarendon’ atement in the House of Lords, that up to the 27th of last month Mr. Crampton had not received any notice to quit, caused still less. The London papers all have editorials on the subject. It is now argued that, as Mr. Crampton’s case is a personal one, there is no necessity to send away Mr. Dallas, who, at the present moment, is the reverse of unpopular. The Times exhibits its usual feeling towards the United ‘States, and makes the letter of “ A New Englander” in its columns the peg on hh to hang a great deal of what can only be described as abuse. The Daily News wonders that aggressive America should cite the annexation o India as a palliation of her own propens India bein: entirely an exceptional case—not to be understood b strangers (!) The News further says that it is with the Northern States of the Union that Britain should come to an understanding, for the Northern States would rather dissolve the Union than go to war with England! ‘The News, however, thinks that the dismissal of Mr. Dalla would serve no purpose except to ripen animosity. The Morning Chrenicle thinks it “eowardly”’ to make a scapegoat of Mr. Crampton—a valuabl> public servant, for having only too faithfully done his duty.” The Morning Post uses the American news emerely as a means of administering a rebuke to the re- fractory members of its political party. The London Morning Star (organ of the Manchester mon), has an ad- mirable editorial, setting forth the merits of the dispute in respect to Central America, As to Mr. Crampton, the *Star thinks that to involve some fifty or sixty millions of peoplo, of the same race, language and religion, in despe- rate and deadly strife, in order to avenge the dignity of a Grampton, is too great an absurdity to be for a moment entertained. Nay, indeed, it is pretty clear, that like the removal of one of those small insects, which in tropical climates burrow under the skin, and irritate the whole surrounding flesh, this gentleman's expulsion from the United States will serve greatly to allay the inflammation which his presence produced. The Nile, 91; the Shannon, 51; the Pylades, 21, and the Cossack, 21 guns, have been telegraphed to prepare © Sor foreign service with all possible despatch. Their des- tination is believed and correctly reported “to be North America. The reports from the corn districts of France not affect- ed by the inundations are still very promising; and should the blooming season, now commencing, pass off well, ‘there is good hope that, notwithstanding the immense de- ‘etruction ocasioned by the floods, the corn crop through- out§France may not fall yery much below an average. It is reported in Berlin that Prussia and Sardinia have Both demanded to be admitted into the commission for reorganizing the Danubian Principalities, and that the demand has been acceded to, It was difficult to refuso Prussia in her quality of a great German Power, inter- ested in States bordering the Danube. Sardinia was ‘therefore admitted to maintain the equilibrium on the ide of the Wostern Powers. Letters from Milan state that the Austrian governmont ‘bas resolved to erect the Lombardo-Venetian provinces into a kingdom of Upper Italy, and to place a prince of Htalian birth—the Grand Duke of Tuscany, who is also an Austrian Archduke—on the throne. To this determina- ‘tion the Cabinct of Austria is said to have been brought ‘by ite anxiety to neutralise the growing popularity of Piedmont. A telegraphic despatch from Trieste, forwarding news from Alexandria, announces that Arabia is still in a stato of insurrection. It has declared it will no longer recog- nize the rule of the Sultan. The governor of the Hedjaz holds out firmly, but is without relief or support. Ano- ther despatch, of doubtful authenticity, records a great fermentation among the Turks on the subject of the Hatti- Humaioun. At Podgorizza, it is said, the Turks have ournt two Catholic churches and killed two Christians ; at Niseki, near Montenegro, the Christians, in order to avenge themselves for the continual outrages they meet ‘with, have attacked and pillaged a caravan coming trom Ragnea ; 14 Turks were killed. A letter from Odessa, of the 24th ult., states that the town was filled with strangers, and that more than thirty Liverpool and Constantinople firms had established them. @elves there, “to the prejudice of the small traders.”? Ris said that 70,000 masons are to rebuild Sebastopo The Liverpool cotton market, on Saturday, Juno 7, the day of the <Asia’s sailing remained dull, but ewithout change in prices from those,quoted in Fri day’s circulars, excepting that in American under 34d. there was some irregularity. T&e day’s sale vwere 6,000 bales, including 600 bales on speculatios and 600 for export. On Sunday the Asia arrived, wits advices from New York to the 28th May, Monday, June 9, the market continued heavy; low American be- 4g quite nominal in value, and all prices about the quotations of last week. Sales of the day, 6,000 bales, including 500 for export. On Tuesday, 10th, the business was only 9,000 bales, at prices rather favoring the buyer. Sales of the three days, to Tues- day evening, were therefore 14,000 bales, including 1,000 for export and 500 on speculation. Breadstutts dearer; wheat, 2d. to 3d, per bushel; flour, @d. to 1s. per barrel, and Indian corn 1g, to 1s. 6d. per quarter advance over last week's quotations, but only a moderate amount of business was done at the advance. Bod wheat was quoted at 9s.

Bacon in good de- mand, at last quotations, Lard was firmer, from scarci- ty, and 586. paid for good reflning. Tallow very quict, at prices unchanged; fine North American, 47s. 6d. to 483. Aconsiderable lot of potashes was offered at 363. 6d., and new at 37s, 6d., but were not taken; pearls wanted, but none on offer. Bark very quict; 10s. 6d, asked for Philadelphia, 8s. 6d. for Baltimore. Rosin sold freely at 4s. 6d. per bbl. Nothing done in whale or sperm oils. THE AMERICAN QUESTION. ‘The Difficulties Between England and the United States. In the House of Lords, on the 9th instant— Lord Carnarvon asked whether the government were in possession of any futher intelligence as to the state of affairs m the United States, Lord Granyiie replied that the govornment were in possession of no further information on the subject Let- ters were, however, expected from Mr. Crampton in the course of the night. In the House of Commons, on the 9th instant, in reply to Mr. Disracli— Lord Paterson said he had received no further infor- mation respecting the reported departure of the British Minister from Washington. [From the London Post (official), June 9.] * * * * * All that sagacity and dignified concession can do for the avertence of this catastrophe has been done, and will con- tinue to be done; but the depends, not, a yy, solely upon us, or Our government; and although wo loubt very much whether it is the object of President Pierce to push matters actually to the extremity which ho appears to contemplate, it is evident that the steps. which he has taken, and the language which has been used by his supporters, may produce an _ influence upon the reckless’ population who have drifted into Central America which may induce an ac- cidental collision between the subjects of England and the United States that will take the question forcibly out of the hands of both governments, and render tho avoidance of war no longer possible. in the possi- bifity of this consists, in our fopinion, tho great danger to peace. There is no justification fer war between the two countries, for to talk serious ly of the enlistment question as one is too abstird; but, at the same time, it cannot be denied that there is a considerable and stirring section of the population in the United States who, regarding it as the privilege, if not the mission, of the American people to co- lonize and appropriate the entire of the continent of tho Western world, from north to south and from east to west, are extremely sore and angry at the existence of the obstacles which we have placed ‘between them and the annexation of Cuba, and haye hopes, however irra- tional and ill-founded, that if a war can be lighted in Cen- tral America, remote from the centres of European civili- zation and European power, a grand scramble may be brought about, out of which American adventurers may get present spoils, if not future and permanent acquisi- tions. It is with the spirit and passions of this class of the people whom he has been elected to govern, that ifour view of his motives and policy be correct, President Pierce is playing, with no Eee object than augmenting for the moment his political forces and manwuvring a triumph over rival struggles for ascendancy. It is a dan- gerous form of government which permits to its chie? Magistrate and principal administrator of public affuirs such hazardous political tricks, but we trust that the time which our own care and moderation has given for con- sideration will enable the American people to sec the true position of the question, and to estimate rightly the amr of the stake which they are placing at immi- nent risk. ‘From the London Post, June 11.] Between the English people and the American peopte— as peoples—there is neither war nor cause of war. Yet the probabilities of a rupture are by no means visionary. When asfew fussy, pragmatical men give way to petu- lancy and narrowmindedness, there is_no telling what folly they may be driven to commit. The mon at pre- sent charged ‘with the administration of American affairs are of this description; and the peril in which they have put the gocd understanding that has so long subsisted between their government and onrs, by their ill-advised treatment of Mr. Crampton, is just all the proof could be desired on this side’ the water why we nt not to suffer ourselves to be provoked into a contest with them. There cannot be a doubt in the minds of those who are familiar with American politics, that the Cabinet of Pre: not faithfully reflect the In trumping ‘up charges against Mr. Crampton, in ignoring the broad imputations of the English government, and turning most unpolitely a deaf to Lord Clarendon’s remonstrances, they have shown that they are Re tly ready to break a lance with us for sheer love of the sport, without the slightest re- gard to the propriety of such conduct and its probable consequences to the best interests of both nations, Let the American people look to it. It is very fine to talk fluently about the glory of free institutions, but let it be well remembered that, the more the representative principle prevails, of the greater moment is it that the persons who represent the people should be as nearly y be what the people themselves are. If the n people are for peace, while their executive government is for war, it becomes them to ponder gri whether they will suffer themselves to be let in for a war which every good instinct tells them would be unjust, , tind disastrous. They have suffered men them into power, most of whom are mere adventurers. There is not one of them who has the education, birth, or station of an American gentleman, in the true sense of the word. Their policy is all for President, not for the People. Pro-Pierce, anti-Amer is the only fit motto for their correspondence with our go- They are manifest! ing their own game, not that of their country, and they must take their choice between the charges of selfishness and incompetency. If they really think that the conduct of our government has been so unjustifiable as that neither our apology nor our offer to refer to arbitration ought to be accept- ed, they show a marvellous incapability of seeing the true interests of their country, while, if seeing this, they act as if they saw it not, they display such an absence of the moral qualities of a good government, that the sooner the American people relieve them of their present deli- cate and responsible duties the better it will be for the rmanent interests of that country. To this point the ns of America must give their attention, There no desire for war on their part. They know well the blessings of peace. They are a trading people, and are fully sensible of the misery that must ensue to all classes “if their immense commercial enterprises are placed in abeyance by a state of war. The educated classes of America see through the miserable shuflling and shifting that has characterized the Cabinet at Wash- ington, and no more ‘desire to see war proclaimed than we desire to plunge again into a new contest with Russia. The eager appetite for strife, the empty show of injured dignity, the paltry cavilling and quibbling at our frank explanations and friendly assurances, belong only toa section of American politicians, who no more represent the public opinion of America’ than the Peace Socicty represents the chivalry of Great Britain. Here, then, is the very hinge of the difficulty. All our explanations, apologies, assurances, offers, and overtures, though satisfactory enough to the ‘American people, are impertinently snubbed by that people’s representatives. And we are in danger of being embroiled in a bloody contest with those we love and respect through the sheer pigheadedness of their President and hi: snmediate advisers. The American government, not tie Ameri- can nation, desires war. War is not. wished for on. this side of the Atlantic either by the government or the nation, Wo are holding back from every sign of ill-will, and push- ing forward every proof of our friendly disposition. But the Cabinet at Washington is either so absurdly obtuse, or so wantonly pugnacious, that it is by no means im- possible that we may find ourselyes fighting against our friends, shooting down those with whom we have never quarrelled, and wasting the blood and treasure of those whom it is at this moment our great desire to treat with ‘every mark of kind regard and good will. Our govern- ment is fully alive to this anomalous condition of Amori- can affairs,” It has borne with much impertinence and uneatisfactory correspondence, for the very reason that init is expressed rather the ‘pettishness of the Pierce Cabinet than the outspoken sentiments of the American people. They will continue to forbear, in the hope that better counsels will prevail, or better men succeed to the direction of American politics. The remedy isin the hands of the Americans them- selves, The time bas come when they have solemnly to ask themselves whether they have any solid ground of grievance against the English government, whether they are prepared to be led into a bloody contest with their mother country in order to keep in countenance and in oftice a Cabinet which has shown itself incapable of ap- prectating the responsibility of its position, and unable to conduct in becoming terms and spirit the diplomatic negoti- ations of its country. There is no question of national honor involved on ¢ither side, It is fairly a question of temper. The English people and the American people are on the best of terms. The English goyerument is dis- posed to be most amiable and polite. The Washington Cabinet alone remains in the sulks, and til it comes to its better self we must bear with its pettish ways as well as we can. It would be folly to kick where all the dudgeon is on one side. [From the London Times, June 10.) The letters we oceasionally receive from Ainericans are uniformly characterized by a tone which puts us into no little diffieuity, We do not know how to take it, Were it one of our own politicians, high or low, wise or unwise had sent us such a letter of mixed apology and ad. as that we give to-day from “ A New Englander,’’ ¥ we should not hesitate for a moment to set it down as what is vulgarly called ‘soft sawder.”” But honestly we do not believe the writer is at all aware that such is the material with which he is supplying us. He be~ lieves it to be altogether o differeat article—sound, genuine advice, But the tenor of all the letters ‘we refer to is the same, and it is, that in duty t© our- selves, and in kindness to, the States—if we would un- derstand our own position and tho destiny of the Union— if we will just consider what we are about, and carn the everlasting gratitude of Amcrica, and so on, we ought really and seriously to swallow aay amount of dirt the Americans can offer 40.us. That is always the sole con- chusion to which a great deal of clever argument and courteous expressi¢m is sure to lead. Nothing can be more candid than the admissions of the writers. They speak quite as plainly of President, minyjters and American people ag we could possibly dq under the strongest proyeeation, ‘A New Englander’* makes us a free giftof President Pierce, Mr. Buchayjan, and the Peper Al Trent in general. He depiores as much as we could do “the internal’evils which, & present afflict the States, and almost shut out the ‘co-operation of the wise and the good in public affairs,”? He confesses that their “haud4 are full at homo,” ead ‘tho most fearful MORNING EDITION—MONDAY,, JUNE 23, 1856. questions are pressing the Americans even to the verge sum and conclusion of all tris is foliow = tho. and allew those who are neither wise nor good to settle all our affairs for us. But, after all, we dow? see of civil war.’’ But the that the "British government is to example of “wise good” Americans, what reason ‘A New Englander” has, on’ his own show- ing, to censure Pierce or Buchanan, or to distingwsh 50 very painfully between the wise and good Americans and those who are not. He holds, with Messrs. Pierce and Buchanan, that in the matter of the enlistment we hae, as it were, first robbed our neighbor’s garden, and sent to say we did not mean to do eo fend illegal ; that our conduct has been underhand, treacherous, uncourteous, and so forth; while that of the Ame- rican government bas been pre-emineutly courteous, just, and proper. For Mr, Walker, & gentleman ‘of unbounded ambition, and likely to found a great em. pire, he has a respect approaching to veneration, and he Appears to think that Mr. Pierco’s recognition of his go vernment is a forced, and perhaps not very prudent homage, to heroic virtue. He wholly forgets, meanwhile that his hero is at war with a State under our protection and has actually annexed its territory, No doubt, th “New Englander” offers us these suggestions i: the purcet and simplest kindness, and wo beg to thank him for them—at least the offor. we don’t accept them, it is, among other reasons ‘because we don’t see where a “Now Englander’’ and his fellow citizens are likely to eg What next will they ask from us in the name of justice, kind- ness, courtesy, and even pity? Will they next tell us, for example, that really wo are not going to be so unkind, so unfair, 80 uncivil, so hepravating as ‘to refuse them our ‘West india Islands and the British-American provinces? Did these correspondents simply argue for the dismis- sal of Mr. Crampton, or defend it, ifit bo indeed a as is now stat or if they took any ordinary ground, contcssedly on American side of the we might dismiss all consideration of persons and enter once more into the morits of the case. it we are told by our ‘New Englander,’ as we have been often told bofore, that the American President and adminis- tration are at the same time right and wrong in the matter. We are assured that they have been playing a game, when, in truth, there was no choice left but todo what they have done. ‘We are comforted with the news that thoy have forfeited the confidence of the American people and Jost the last shred of their popularity by a course which, nevertheless, we drove them to, and which isa just vindication of American honor. We are re- quested to believe Mr, Pierce nobody, and at the same timo, for the present purpose, an impersonation of the American people, It is explained tous, as a mystery, that there is tho greatest possible difference between the mob that carries tao day in American politics and the good and wise people who look on with dis- gust; yet that from Maine to California there docs not exist the smallest difference of opinion on the questions between England and America. This perpetual contradiction, this alternate flattery and rebuke, passes our comprehension. Is it the usual tone of the ‘wise and good” Americans, dwelling like the gods of Fpicurus, neither caring nor cared for, in the sweet re- treats and calm elevation of the Upper Ten Thousand ? We frankly confess that the whole tone is so uncongenial to the British taste, so repugnant to that national spirit which leads every man to take a side among us, and al- lows nobody to boast of his indifference, that it does not Jead us to hope better, but rather to fear worse, of the United States, In the name of truth, courage and justice, why don’t the “ wise and good men”’ of the Union come forward, and either blow hot or blow cold? Why don’t they tell us whether they want to pick a quarrel with us or to let us alone? y don’t they de- clare themselves on that perpetual adoption of new and more extravagant pretensions by the American govern- ment, every President, apparently, making it his aim to rival’ Monroe with a ‘new article’ of aggrandizement ? ‘These ‘wise and good men,” who haye not a word to say against what is done, but only indulge afew feeble sn at the doers, seem to usa very helpless race. ‘They do us no good’ whatever, and traduce their Presi- deni, government, and people to very little purpose. We don’t want them to abuse Mr. Pierce, but we do want ber togive him better advice, or to seta better ex- ample. Itis our duty to suggest to “A New Englander,”’ and his fetlow citizens of the “wise and good” class, a serious misgiving, for which his own letter supplies an illustra- tion In tracing Mr. Walker's position and career he deveribes that great, if not wiee and good man, as “hav- ing been called in by one «ed part of the popula- tion under one of those , retehed Spanish-American gov- ernments to free them from the ,tyranny of the other:? Further on, with prophetic import, “A New Englander’? says, “Mr, Walker is an adventurer of vast ambition, and may ultimately conquer an empire frem those weak Spanisa States.’ Here we have a picture of long-settled American States in which the Euro- ans have so degenerated as to render them an easy ion, en and skill of individuals, ct, a large part of the population are no better tha: so many fat sheep waiting their turn to be devoured by the wolves, The latter, of course, are sure to spring up under such favorable circumstances, and they do the thin; so well and plausibly that they cannot be called “strictly filibusters. What is strictly a filibuster, of course, is not easy to suy, but if it isany comfort to the ‘wise and good” Americans who sit still and hug their wisdom and goodness, we venture to predict that they will not be robbed and slain by mere fillbusters. No, the future of America is glorious. She will be the mother of heroes in comparison with whom Pierce is wise and Walker a gentleman of id They will conquer empires out of those that now avowedly tolerate a government which they condemn. That ‘‘ best portion’? and ‘ larger portion’’ of the citizens which now condemns the conduct of the President in recognizing Mr. Walker’s government—which thinks it hasty, injudicious, and calculated to inspire just suspicions, yet which does nothing—will find its indolence and its pusillanimity duly appreciated by such men as Walker. They are only Diding their time. "For our part, we have no interest than that such a change should be deferred as long as possible; and that is one reason out of many why we grieve to see this continual admission of American weakness and pros- tration of spirit side by side with other indications of the yastest ambition, the most daring adventure, and, we must. add, the utmost unserupulousness. When we see theep and’wolves, common sense tells us what must fol- low before tong. {From the London Times, June 11.] * ® * e 5 for weak and wret Every weak country within reach of the United States is subject to a continual infusion of Americans as adven- turers, settlers, sympathizers, and ultimately, in large bodies, as invaders, always cluiming to act in’ behalf of the people themselves, though in the end it is they who are the people. At this moment Mr. Walker is at the head of a force consisting almost exclusively of American citi- zens, and his occupation of one independent State and in- yasion of another with a force virtually enlisted in the United States have been “recognized’? by their government. For our part, we are ready to take a yery liberal view of this process. We do not quarrel with that apparent destiny which seems to mark out the greater part of the New World for democratic federations tending more or less toa general unity. It is natural enough that territories and peoples in the neighborhood of the United States should be leavened with their political principles, their commercial enterprise, and their restless race. The other stages they pass through are also nataral enough. But temptation and crime are always found in. the direc- tion of nature. Here, then, is the temptation of the Ameri- can conscience, the blot_of their history, the wound to their sensitiveness. This is the imputation they are always ready to encounter. A painful self consciousness is ever impelling them to claim a high standard in the matter of political sympathy. The result, of course, is that they are excessively virtuous, when virtue is showy and cheap; but their virtue fails whon it must be paid for. At the same moment they are magnanimously and eb- trusively neutral in the battle of European liberty, and interfering with considerable profit in the States of Central America, They have strained at a gnat and swallowed a camel, for the gnat was not worth an acre or a cent, but the camel may bring them at least one new State. ‘This is only what we have often said of tho quarre), id, Hotel to say, the estimate is justifled by the very letter of the result. The government of the United States is forced, in apite of itself, to. give up the question not only of municipal law, but of ded national dig- nity, and to vent its irritability in & personal objection to Mr. Crampton, It cannot maintain, and does not main- tain, that either the British government or its Minister has done that which was first lald to their charge. But, as the quarre! began in pique, the offspring of puresensitiveness, nd as the pique survives, itmugt be satistied. Mr. Crampton nust go. ‘The President has promised that to his sup- porters, and he cannot back outof it. But at this mo- ment it becomes also necessary to recognize an American. adventurer who is conquering neighboring territories with an army composed of American. citizens, and as much enlisted in the Union as if they had marched. with vanners and music through Washington to New Orleans. It would have been impossible to carry on any longer, in the face of this recagnition, the other game of political neutrality played off against our ' govern- ment. Such are the inconsistencies in which mixed characters always involve tzemselves, and such the subterfuges to which they are ultimately driven. ‘A pompous accusayion vanjshes in smoke. Tho whole enlistment controversy a moment is obsolete and the go¥trament af the United States falls back on the primary and undoubted right of every government ty consult personal feolings in the admission of foreign min- isters. ‘Though the charge %s given up, yet the accused has conducted his defence with wapleasant pertinacity., He is right in the main, but there is a mistake somewhero In the language of the old epigram, they cannot tol why they don’t like him, but this they kuow, Loe f 3 do not. Lord Clarendon’s explanation is mitted to be satisfactory, but there is an wngettled balance between Mr. Crampton and some American gentlemen, and he must bo dismissed for making himself disagreeable, To such a complaint it is ‘uifficult to reply. The British government cannot allege that Mr. Dallas is disagreeable because Mr. Crampton is charged with being so. Itis not the custom for a great nation to take personal exceptions, and we never dismissed foreign Ministers except om public grounds. The United States has driten itself to this refuge of weak- ness by pretending a strictness of neutrality it never Observed when interest stood in the way; nor is there another government in the world that on the same day would receive a Minister from Mr. Walker and dismiss one from her Britannic Majesty on purely personal grounds. [Prom the London Chronicle, Juno 11.) ‘The reply of Lord Clarendon, last evening, to the ques- tion put by Lord Carnarvon, leaves the public in greater doubt than before as to the actual state of our relations with the American government, [t appears, from the statement of the Foreign Ministor, that letters haye beon received by the Asia from Mr, Crampton, dated the 27th of May, in Which no mention whatever is made of his hav- ing received his passports. As thesteamer left New York ‘on the 28th, the inference naturally is, that thero is no foundation for the story that given riso to so much surprise aud anger duripg the last fow days. ‘We must, however, make’ allowance for the petty spirit Of Juggler 'Y that so disered ttably distinguishes our Foreign office in its communications with the public. The infor- mation Communicated by Lod Clarendon may be literally true, yct calculated to mislead. Br. Crampton’s “letters? may ave been dated on the 271%, aud may haye made no mention of his dismissal; and y vt the government might Dave received subsequent intellige wee, though not fociing Weelf bound to communicate it, on ¢he ground that it did aot come in an official despatch.

It is, to say the Teast, extremely unlikely that an event of such inspor- tance as the dismissal of the Minister of a powerful State should have been allowed to transpire among newspaper writers before bein; men by it. We are aa been in this case the futher to the thoug! or that our American cousins have only been etek iu practising a clever man@uyre for the pur- pose of ascertaining how the English would regard their meditated insolence. If so, the lesson will not have been thrown away. They will'sce the calm contempt with which this vation has received the news of the dismisaal of our Minister. They will see that the public securities, usually s0 sensitive to the slightest suggestion of war, were in no Way affected at the news of this overt act. May we not hope that they will also perceive the usoless- ness of attempting to irritate or intimidate a people who thus exhibit so quiet a confidence in the justice of their own cause, and so unruffied a reliance on their resources? Cor racy to Assassinate the Queen of Spain. ‘The Madrid journals of the 4th report that considerable sensation had been caused by the discovery of a con- spiracy to assassinate the Queen, ‘The following aro some details ofthe affair given by the Diario “A man named Rendondo Marquez organised a secret society three months ago, and a young carpenter was drawn into it. It having been resolved to kill the Qneen, this young man was designated by lot to do tho deed, and he was told that if ho fired on her Majesty a sum of $2,000 pinstres should be given to him, and that if he fuiled to do so he should be certainly put to death by his fellow conspirators. On the 28th ult., at the mo- ment at which the carriage of the Princess ‘of the Astu- rious approached the Calli del Arenal, a young man named Fuentes drew a pistol from his pocket, but a po- lice agout seized his arm and prevented him from dis- charging the weapon. On being interrogated he made known the facts ubove related.” Just after his arrest Rendondo Marquez went to the palace, on pretext of mak- ing revelations respecting the conspiracy.

The government received the information on the previous day by means of un anonymous letter gent through the post. Some suggestions were given in it for baftiing the conspiracy. The government afterwards learned that another attempt wus to be made on the 20th, and it took some new precautions. What is curious, is that the anonymous letter was written by the yery’man who was tohaye firedon the Queen witha pistol. He is a young married workman, named Fuentes. It results irom his declarations, and’ from those of other persons who have been arrested, and who, like him, bolong to the lower classes, that the chief of the conspiracy was an officer of the National Guard, named Rendondo Marquez, well known in the capital.

No fresh assurances could add weight to those already given to Count Cavour, and I did not, therefore, think it hecessary to send an answer in writing to the note of the Sardinian Plenipotentiaries; but as it has come to the knowledge of her Majesty’s government that it would be agreeable to the Sardinian government to receive one, they cannot hesitate to declare their opinion that the oc- cupation of the Papal territory by foreign troops consti- tutes an irregular state of things, which disturbs the equi- librium and may endanger the peace of Rurope; and that, by indirectly affording sanction to misgovernment, it promotes discontent and a tendency to revolution among the Her Majesty’s Government are aware that as this state of things has now, unfortunately, for some years been established, it may be possible that it could not suddenly be brought to a close without some danger to public or- dor, and the risk of producing events that all would de- plore; but her Majesty’s government are convinced that the evacuation of the Papal territory may be rendered safe at an early perio@ by a policy of wisdom and justice, and they entertain a hope that the measures agreed upon by the governments of France and Austria will lead toa gradual withdrawal of their respective forces, and to bet- tering the condition of the subjects of the Pope. ‘You will read and give a copy of this despatch to Count Cayour.—I am, &., ce ,ENDON. Ministerial Crisis in Port: 5 Intelligence from Lisbon, of the date of the 5th inst., states that the ministerial crisis made public on the pre- ceding Monday took many people by surprise. In the or- dinary state of the House of Peers, the Saldanha Cabinet could have counted upon a majority of four or five in fa- yor of the different financial plans concocted by M. Fon- tes, in London and Paris; but just as the first bills relating to a new loan were being sent up from the Lower House the government assertaincd that eight peers from different rovinces,and the Azores, who had not been in the ouse for years, had been induced to come for- ward.to oppose the bills in question, and the Ministers submitted to the King the necessity of creating some new peers in order to pass their measures, ot which his Majesty declined to accede. The King took a very prudent course in refusing the creation of new peers for bills which involve the necessity of above £100,000 of additional taxation; at all events untit the people have had an opportunity of expressing their wishes in the new election of a Chamber of Deputies, which would in any case take place this year. The Ministerial crisis may bo. comsidered, virtually ended by the progress made: for the instalment of a new Cabinet, ‘under tho Presidenay of; M.

Fillmore’s son was on board, whom somebody demanded three more for Mr. Fillmore, Je. The demand was complied with; three good cheera were given, and several pressing forward seized the son by the hand, and, in their friendship for the father, nearly pulled his arms out of their sockets. At last the gang plank was made secure to the vessel's side, and the Fillmore Reception Committee poured along i® like a torrent, and in over the sides of the ship, driving back the astonished passengers. In they went to the cabin, where Mr. Fillmore was waiting to receive them, After the usual shaking of hands, Alderman Brices ad dressed him as follows:— Mr. Firtaorr—In the name of New York and of this nae tion, I welcome you to your native shores. Your coum- trymen have watched your pilgrimage through the Eure- pean States with intense solicitude, fearing that those natural calamities always impending over the living might deprive them of your valuable life, and overwhelms yous country with universal sorrow; and I congratu- inte yourself und kindred that you have the dangers of land and sea, and have returned m health and happiness to your native land; and aboye all, I rejoice that you will soon return to the White House, to remove the vermin that have gathered there during your unfortunate abseuce from the national helm. Our country is blessed with all the climates and productions of nature, and with free insti- tutions; and the Americans should kindle the fires of H- berty and union in every vale and on eyery hill, om your safe return to again bless us with an administration that will enforce respect and obedience to our glorious flag wherever it , and restore unity and tranquillity and contentment to the farthest frontiers of our beloved country. Mr. Firtwore, in reply, then spoke as follows : Mr Chairman—This unexpected and flattering reception from the city of New York, and my native State, reachea a heart that may not feel otherwise than grateful. It is true, Sir, that for more than a year I have been a labo- rious traveller in foreign countries, and although I have wandered fur, my heart has always been with the Amer- ican people." (Great applause.) And this, Sir, is the happiest and proudest day of my life, to be received by a city which is known throughout Europe. For, sir, travel where you will there, and ask the humblest pe: what town he knows in the United States, and he will tet you that itis New York. (Applause.) I am proud to own that lam a native of the State of New York, and & am prouder still, sir, to be able to say, that lam an Amer- ican citizen. (Applause, and three cheers were here given for Mr. Fillmore.) ‘Sir, you haye been pleased to allude to my former services in the councils of my country.

If there be those either North or "Sou! who desire an ad- ministration for the North as against the South, or fow the Sotuh as against the North, they are not the mem who should give their suffrages to me.

But, sir, F am unexpectedly called upon on this occasion to these few remarks, fand must conclude by again return- ing my sincere thanks to the Corporation of the city of New York, which has done me the unexpected honor to- welcome me back again. (Applause.) A Voice—“And the people too.’? The people too—to all. I return. my thanks. A Voicr—It is no Corporation, but. the people. Mr. Van River, on behalf of the Board of Councilmes, then welcomed Mr. Fillmore, and congratulate him: upon his safe return to his native land, to which MP. B. bowed his grateful acknowledgments, The Committee now took Mr. Fillmore in charge, am® after two or three tremendous efforts, succeeded in get ting him over the side of the steamer, down the gang plank, and after that through the crowd into the carriage. on the pier. The carriage was immediately beset by am eager throng, and by another gigantic effort the Committee: succeeded in getting it off the pier. Thecrowd then formed ia a procession of five abseast, and formed an escort for the ex-President up to the St. Nicholas, cheering all the way. When they reached the hotel, they found anothes ; crowd assembled in front, by which he was literally over= whelmed, Before he could be rescued from. the carriage, half a dozen stout, burly fellows. had him, by the handa. and by the coat, and for a time there was @ struggte between them and the committee as ta which should haya possessionof him, By main strength, ‘the Committee carried him.of, and pushing him,before them, they gained the doar in’ safety, pein up stairs, and closely folowed by same two or three dozen, they suoceeded in getting him into a room, where Mr. Fillmore was saved from his friends, But the multitude outside ‘became impatient, and were loud ia their demands to the Committee to ‘fetch him out.’’ So he had to come, and his ble hg on the balcony was greeted with a storm of applause. Somebody called out three groans for the black republicans, aud (@gp wore given with a hearty good will.

(Applause.) I can only say, fellow citizens, that during the absence of more than a year I have seen much European life. I have been enabled to contrast it with that of my own country. Ihave been able to look at the condition of other nations as campared with my own, and I can say to you, fellow citizens, thas after all my wanderings my heart fondly turns to rica as the home of my birth.

The final quotations of the French Three per Cents on the Paris Bourse this evening were 71f. for money, and TLL. 60c. for the end of the month, showing a fresb fall of a quarter per cent, which makes a total decline of one and a half per cent within the past four days.

Liverpoot, Wednesday, June 11—P. M. The Daily News publishes the following statement in a leading article, though without vouching for its accu- racy :—‘ It is confidently stated that Mr. Marcy’s reply to Lord Clarendon will be in effect that tho Cabinet at Wash- ington regards the explanations and statements in his Lordship’s last despatch as sufficient to induce them to withdraw their demand for Mr. Crampton’s recall. The American Secretary, however, will add that his govern- ment are of opinion that after what has passed, Mr. Crampton’s power of usefulness at Washington has been exhausted. It is understood Mr. Crampton will himself bring this despatch out, and tender his resignation.”? Neither the Times, Daily News or Post, contain any re- ference to Mr. Horsman’s resignation; and as the journals giving circulation to the rumor avow the very slender grounds on which it rests, the paragraph is probably a newspaper canaid.

The pro- duce of the first three months of 1856 is nearly double that of the corresponding three months of 1885, being close upon 700,000 ounces. Trade continued steady. The balance was in fayor of the colony. In five weeks the value of the exports was £1,917,000, against £1,400,000 imports. The necessaries of life were moderate. Immi- grants were wanted and invited.

The navigation of the Sea of Okhotsk is safe and easy, but it @ not ofa long duration, for that sea freezes during five months of the year, from the 15th of Novembgr to the 15th of April. The scientific commission sent out by the Emperor Nicholas uscended the Amoor above Siberia, and found that the borders of that beautiful river contained magnifi- cent forests, minerals, vegetables and animals from which great advadtages are to be derived. mens of those different products have been sent to Irkoutsk, to be tor- worded thence to St. Petersburg, in order to be examined by the Academy of Sciences and by the Admiralty. Several of the vessels now {n Cronstadt will proceed to the Sea of Okhotsk, with a view to navigate afterwards the Amoor, Which bias but few difficult passages. If this enterprize should be realized, its results will be of great importance to hydrographic geography.
