LETTER FROM THE UNITED STATES MINISTER, &., &e., de. ‘The steamship New York, Captain Wencke, which left Southampton on the 9th of July, arrived at this port early yesterday morning, with fifty-five cabin passengers, Irish mails and a full cargo. The scrow steamer City of Washington, Captain Brooks, which loft Liverpool at four o’ciock om the afterneon of the 9th. and Queenstown on the 10th inst., also arrived at this port early yesterday morning, with passengers and cargo, ‘The general news and political, commercial and finan cia! reports of both vessels have been anticipated by the advices of the City of Washington, North American and Asia, telegraphed from Cape Race, and published in the ‘Usaatp from day to-day until yesterctay morning. Our European files are, however, three days later than tho papers received by the Persia, and contain some inte eesting details of the news to the 10th of July. The steamer North American, en route to Quebec, passed Father Point at eleven o’clock on Monday night. Sne bas two hundred and forty-five passengers. ‘The United S:ates screw corvette Tuscarora arrived at Southampton from Cadiz on the 7th instant. Nothing was icnown as to the object of her visit. The accounts of Great Britain show that in the financia; year 1861-62 the tax upon spirits produced £12,267 600, upon wine £1,104,475, upon malt and hops £6,191,166, making £19,563,231 ($97,816,155) im all. Another £1,000,000 may be added for the license duties upon those who manufacture or sell spirits, wine and beer. On tea, coffee, chicory, cocoa and chocolate the taxation of the year amounted to £5,993,252. Considerably more than @ third of the public income was derived from taxation ‘upon beverages. Lord Palmerston, in the House of Commons, speaking on the course of English policy in Chins, said, in reply to The honorable gentloman refers to a statement [ made some two,years ago, as to the way in which Mr. Ward, tho then American Minister, was carried from Taku to Pekin. The honorable gentleman says Mr. Ward weat in acart, which I described as He says tbat Mr. Ward denies that assertion of mine, and of course I ac- cept his dental. What I stated was on what I believed to be good information at the time—that which I heard and read. 1 believe there are three modes of travelling in China, according to the rank of the individual. most distinguished is that of the sedan chair, which is ‘used by great people exclusively. The next i on horse back, which is used for the greater part by distinguished persons and by military men. The third mode is by very uncomfortable conveyance which I hare been carried Mr. Ward to Pelin—s conveyance in which those officers of the British mission who were captured in the last war were carried, and which they described as inflicting the most horrible torture they hai ever endured. (Hear.) The henorable gentismau says ‘Mr. Ward now and then thought it pieasanter to ride on horseback than to remain in bis vebicle,and it was therefore possible that it was not quite so commodious as the honorable gentioman imagines. (A laugh.) Mr. Lindsay, M. P., has postponed his resolution which has for its object the recognition of the Con- federate States as an independent nation, from the 11th till Friday, the 18th of Juty. The London Tims of the 8th of July says:— A much firmer tone is apparent ia the Welsh iron mar Kot, and there are symptoms of a steady and even prosp-r ous trade reviv! In anticipation of the demand fur iron piates as armor coatidg for men-of-war, new rolling mills are about to be erected at Rhymney. At Ebbw Vale on in nearly every department, and in the Valley, 80 full of ‘iron and coal ‘works, trade is tolerably good, there being sevoral very heavy orders on the books, including good contracts fur Indis, The irom trade bae greatly improved in Morthyr, ‘and the works are being carried on briskly, as very large orders have been received from Russia. The prospects of the harvest in France are deseribed thus in 8 letter from Pt dated on the 7th of July:— ‘The accounts received of the progress of the harvest continue to be satisfactory. The mild weather which has prevailed for some days past has produced the beat results. Jn certain districts the injury done to the crops ‘by the rain and wind is more than trifling, but in the reat corn growing countries the Proprietors expect that the produce will uperior to that of a fair average crop. It is not possible to appreciate even approximate- ly the value of the wheat crop previous to its being cut and thrashed. It may, nevertheless, be seeu at vreseat that the corn crops which promised such # rich harvest ‘two months since will not exceed the produce o an ordi- Baryyear. ‘The Princess Maria Pia, the future Queen of Portugal, ‘was born on the 16th of October, 1847. She is the god- daughter of Pope pius IX., whose name she bears. She ig said to be remarkable for her beauty, and her father (Victor Emanuel) bas always shown a decided partiality for her. Just ag the last mail steamor for England jeft Rio de Janeiro tho docks at that port gave way, and @ most seri- ous amage was the conseyuence. According to the last accounts from Alexandria, the Egyptian grain harvest promises this year to be very abundant. The growth of cotton is likewise exjscted to be large, the rising of the Nile, which usually commences about the 18th of June, having on this occasion commenc- od on the 6th. The steamship Etna arrived at Queenstown on the 10th of July, at one A. M. Our Paris Correspondence. Panis, July 8, 1862.

Still this may all be a mere blind, and it is esserted that new plans, not yet fairly ventilated, will then be developed; ‘and among them 1s mentioned the possibility of the choice of the “American Bonaparte”’ as the President of Mexico. It is by no means improbable that the extraordinary na- val preparations of the United States, with a reasonable prospect of our domestic difficulties being settled during the coming fall, may have had their influence in deter- mining the change in the Emperor's plans. ‘The Patrie occasionally hus « hammering sort of article in favor of intervention” or “mediation ,”’ but even the more sanguine of the rebel crew in Paris have evidently given up all hope that anything of this kind will oceur, A fow days since, however, when the Emperor came up for a day from Fontainebleau, he received a deputation of the cotton spinners of Rouen, who inrplored his Majesty to do something for their relief, representing that they were nearly out of matorial, aud would shortly be com- peiled to suspend their operationg,and thus throw thou- These same cot- ton spinners, it will be recollected, last spring, when raw ma- tenal in wi to make a wre, chose good speculation by shipping to Liverpool instead of bringing it to Rouen, and im this way a large quantity was diverted from France to England. fair to suffer for their cupidity, and it is not probable that the Emperor wilt undertake, ¢x; fil, the impossibie thing of attempting to Procure ‘a cotton, supply by bringing on a war with the United States.

This scheme was discovered in March last, and a trial of the more prominent members—of whom fifty- three are arraigned—was commenced before the Tribunal Correctionnelle of Paris. Many of them are returned exiies, and most of uh from tbe laboring classes, while among them is one apothecary, a man named Miot, who has long been known as an uneasy ‘‘democrat.’” ‘The trial excites a great deel of interest, and some of the best legal talent in Paris has been retained for the detence of the prisoners. S ‘There has beon no small degree of amusement caused in Eurove, among those who kuow the facts, at the re- ception which the Albany Warwick met upon bis arrival im America, and the meution of the ‘distinguished ser- vices’’ which he performed on behalf of our cause and government during his trip through Europe. Now the fact is that during the whole of that tour Mr. Weed was “ike @ fish out of water,” and really did not know what to do with himself, and therefore did but little. In England he calied on Lord John Russell, and wrote a few epistles for the London Times, and, being able to speak the language of the country, sustained the action of our government, ag any other patriotic citizen would, when- ever occasion oftered. Beyond this his “services” actually amounted to nothing, and in France and Germany the languages of the country operated as an effectual drawback upon Mr. Woed’s missionary efforts. He received the Pope’s blessing, however, in Rome; but whether that included absolution for all his past political sina 1am not informed, although he had a powerfal ad- vocate with bis Holiness there in his friend archbishop Hughes, who, by the way, it is said, was much favored by the Pope during his sojurn in the Eternal City. ‘Tho Emperor and Empress left Fontainebleau on Sun- day.

In short» the fraternization between our sailors and your Califor, nian fellow citizens appears to have been complete. There have been no fires here for tho last two weeks, and the agitation produced by the previous tremendous con” flagrations is beginning to subside.

Altogether, if the radical party ever cal- culated upon the support of the peuple, they have been terribly undeceived by the events of the last fow weeks. The fact is that they were going @ little too fast; and, as I stated in a former communicativu, things had come to such @ pass that but one alternative was left—bloody revolution or stern reaction.

Federal America, having taken seri ly to the vice of tyranny, is strippi herself to the task of gratifying her new passion. She is deiibe- rately rejecting the silks, the wines, the trinkets, and the works Of art of France, the fine woolleng and cottons, the finished hardware, and the agricultural implements of Kngland, and she is to restrict herself for the future to her own ovarse,clumsy,and cvstly substitutes. It is with @ shout of triumph that these shut out altogether the productions of the two great industrial European nations, or that they will compel them, by the Payment of high duties, to contribute to the expenses of their civil wars, Cowd apy folly be more pitiable? If federal America were the only market in the world for British and French manufactures, there might be aome bope that the foreign importers would have to pay some portion of its burdens in heighthened duties; but, while there are a hundred competiug customers ‘or such proauce, there must be a market price, independent of any single demand. At that market price the produco will be delivered at the American ports, and whatever addition is made to it by the government must be paid, not by the foreign importer, but by the American con- sumer. Are American sta.e men and the Amorican peo- ple such children that they requiro to be taught a simpio truth like this?

With this object they are reducing themselves toa condition which is a warning to the world. Thoy have at last actually taken upon themselves a system of taxation which is like the cask of lus, 80 ful of points that no man can stacd or sit or in it without being pricked every moment. They are drafting off day by day the youth of their country to die of pestilence or the sword, or to return to them in a few weeks broken and emaciated for life. Private letters say that McCiellan’s army alone is losing every week before Richmond two thousand men; and there is a carefully supprossed whisper at Wash- ington that General McClellan himself is stricken with the fever.

They have Dut to add to it, as they are now doing, the abi of all the eomforts of civilised life, and they will soon have to negotiate a fugitive slave law with their neigh- burs to keep their own subjects within thoir pale. We have used nothing but simple and notorious facts to describe the conditivun to which tho American Union is either arrived or ts evidently tending. But all this, hap- pily, arises from no natural necessity. Nature has’ been Dountiful to this young nation, as she is commonly boun- tiful to us all in youth. With strong and vicious passions, she has given to it healthy energies, e'astic spirits and abounding strength. As within some tolerabie limits a strong young man may indulge in many a reckless quar. rel and many a fitful carouse, and yet with timely refor- mation grow to a strong and sober manhood, so it is with this young and wiiful pomp ol who have yet resources to fall back upon which we ih our ancient society and full peopled country cannot call to our aid. There is a limit, however, even to the endurance of youthful strength, and South America has already shown that it is pyssi- bie for nations, as well as individuals, to die young. Whe broken States of North America seem tobe fast proaching that point when they must become two vosmnaied nations or go on to anarchy and dis:o ation. The “ Horrors” of the War to English yeu.

The Slave Trade Suppression Treaty. In the House of Lords on the 8th of July, Earl Russell moved the second reading of this bill, the object of which is t carry out the convention in regard to the suppres- sion of the slave trade lately agreed upon between her eis porecement and the United States government. of Derby said that this was undoubtedly a bill of great importanes. It was well known that the main inducement to carry on the slave trade for a long period had been the refusal of the United States to per- mit the right of search, and thas the of the States had covered a large of the horrible traffic. it might perbaps "yore that the flag of some other Power might be abused in a similar way, but he trusted that in such an event there would be #0 desire to give that tacit which he was afraid the United States had given to the slave trade.

This means, of course, that there will be atari considerable Pe eornpanrt ef hws greg anda proportionate increase of pauperism amongst the opera- tives shut out of the mulls. The total stock of cotton in BD at Liverpool is now computed at only 185,430 bales, against 1,107,430 at the corresponding date of last year. Just at the close of the ‘week tho speculation betrayed some signs of flagging, as is natural, considering the enormous advancp which his taken place within so short a period. Those of the a lators who distrust the chapter of accidents have ‘a disposition to realize their profits, mindful, perbaps, of thecrash which would be produced were dwell cained rica to ta disseminated by the not too veractous telegraph. Although those buyors who bave large realized profits to fall back upon bave run up the market with great ardor pry er last fow bg the impression hag become gene- ral, that to buy or bold cotton on specuiation as its ‘4 prices means gambling in form, compared with which time-bargsins in eeusols become a sober sort of business, aad even transactions in Spanish certificates are almost free from risk. Cotton stands at this moment in the market ‘at thrice its normal value, and as the prices of manufac- tured goods have lagged far behind, though raised to a point sufficient to seriously check consumption abroad, it is highly probable that, as svon as the speculators have Devome tired of dealiog with one another, and the exist- ing mania has gone the way natural to all manias, the silence of death will fall upon the Liverpool cotton mar- ket. We caunot pretend prophetically to affirm that there will be any material relapse in prices, fer, apart from the dmprobable contingency of a sudden settlement of the struggle in America, there is no prospect of any but @ hmited supply, and it is upon the absence of supply that the rise in the price is mainiy based. Stili it is clear enough that the speculators will soon be left to play among themselves with the remaining stock of cotton. Apart from tue hazard of the game, the manufacturers will be obliged to fold their hands and look on, for the speculators have at last suc- coeded ia skouldering them out of the market. lo put the matter in its simplest form, the manufacturer will be abie to calculate with abselute certainty that he has oaly to go on working up cotta at its present prices and selling the goods made from it at their present prices, and he will tafaliibly succeed in making a loss at the rate of many thousands a year, without carrying on by any means extensive transactions, Consequently, upon tho sensibly commercial principle that it ts better uot to do business at ail than to do it at a loss, spinners and mana- facturers will suspend their production much mure largely than they have hitherto done, and will leave the cotton speculators to kick the ball about among them- selves. The more prudent of the latter are apparently becoming alive to the approach of a period of complete inaction, and are not forgetful of the dangers involved in the vast amount, Of speculation now in existence. * * © . It ta of little avail now, however, to join in a chorus of censure of the employers. We spoke pretty freely, es- pecially some time ago, when the adoption of remedies and precautivas would have entirely prevented the pre- sent collapse of the trade; now it is vain to indulge io reproaches or recriminations. The most lamentable fea- ture is that, even now, when the trade is starving, talk- ing and writing are all the fashion, while of real reme- dia! accion there is absolutely mone. Among the London mercantile community, by whom the dangerous position of the cotton interest has always beou more and Practically appreciated than im the northern seats of the trade, there are men of high position and large means who are prepared to embark heartily and exten- Sively in the sort of enterprise necded, and, what is more, to draw the moneyed public after them, 'providea only the cottun men will put their own shouiders united- ly the wheel.
