THREE ENGLISH CONSULS.

DESPATCHES TO EARL

(BY ILICTRIC TILIORAl1.)
(PION 0171 OWN CORRINPONDINT.)
SOUTHAMPTON, SATURDAY MORNING.

The American Mail steamer Fulton, has arrived at
Cowes on her way to Havre. She brings news to
the let inst.

Mr. Campton having received his passports, had
arrived at New York on the 30th ult.

Mr. Lumley, Secretary of Legation, will remain at
Washington.

Mr. Crampton was to leave for England on the
4th lost. in the Canada. He was to be accompanied
off New York and Philadelphia.
The ab3ve is from the New York Herald.
The Toronto Obobs states that Mr. Crampton is to
await the orders of his government in Toronto.
A resolution had passed the third reading in the
Massachusetts House of Representatives to extend
material aid to the free state cause in Kansas.

Sumner, the Free-soiler, who was so brutally as-
saulted by Brooks, still lies in a deplorable state.
No one is allowed to see him. The Free-soilers of
Boston have deoland that if any violence is
threatened to Sumner's colleague, they will march
to Washington and defend him against the
southern assassins.

The Washington correspondent of the New York
Heald states that the President, before dismissing
Crampton, sought an interview with him, and pro
poised an amicable suspension of the relations between
himself and the Secretary of State. This Mr. Cramp.
ton declined. After this the President sounded our
Ambassador upon the question of closing the em-
bassy.
The French Minister has been the confidential ad-
'giber of Mr. Crampton.
The formal dismissal of Mr. Crampton was dated
May 28.

Proclamations here also been issued by the Fret%
dent withdrawing the power of the English Consul•
at New York, Philadelphia, and Cincinnati, to act al
such any longer.

The accounts of the war in Nicaragua are eonflict-
ing. It is said that Walker has been able to sustain
himself ; others say that he has been obliged to take
refuge in the mountains.

The British ship Eurydice is at St. Jean del
Norde, overhauling every vessel that enters the
harbour.

Binoe rcceiving the above telegraphic dc_patch,
our parcels, containing the New York journal., have
arrived. The latter contain Secretary Marcy's reply
to Lord Clarendon on the:Enlistment difficulty. It is
of great length, occupying upwards of three of the
very closely printed columns of the New York Herald.
Mr. Marcy states that the President is cinch grati-
fied at the conciliatory spirit of the letter of Lord
Clarendon, and by the desire expressed to adjust
existing differences, and preserve and strengthen
the friendly relations between the two countries.
The disclaimer of any intention to violate the laws
of the United States, and the expression of regret
that, contrary to the intention and direction of the
British government, there has been such •infringe-
meet, are satisfactory, and the main complaint, so
far es rest :cts her Majesty's government, is thus re-
moved; but the President extremely regrets that he
cannotconcur with the Earl of Clarendon in the opinion
that Mr. Crampton and the Consuls at New York, Phi-
ladelphia, and Cincinnati an not implicated in these
proceedings. Regarding theme who have no coone
Lion with this complaint, he has nothing to ask of
her Majesty's government; but in the oases of the
individuals mentioned, he deems it proper that their
relations with this government should cease. In
taking this step, however, he does not intend to
cause any interruption of the diplomatic relations
between the United States and Great Britain; but
on the contrary is desirous of keeping the two noun•
tries upon a friendly footing. Mr. Crampton's with-
drawal was asked expressly on the ground that his
connection with the enlistments had rendered him
an unacceptable representative of her Britannic Ma.
jesty near this government ; and for the same rea-
son the withdrawal of the consuls named was like-
wise requested. These officers are all, as this
government still believes, implicated in the violation
of the laws of the United States, contrary to the
reiterated Instructions of their own government.
This complicity did not rest solely on the testimony
of Bunched and Herta, but on original letters from
Mr. Crampton and others. The despatch then
proceeds to detail at length the evidence against
the dismissed minister and the three consuls, and
concludes in the following terms :
11, le the earnest desire to set with all pees big courtesy
towards her Mejesty's governmeat, the President could
hare 'seconded his determination in the ems la order to

inbuilt the new testimony, whisk he le treaddent would
►ame beet found mildest to Weft compliance
with his regain for the remit of the British
blioitter, be is precluded from toy such thought
of delay by the exceptionable character of the
despatches of dim gewleman, oopies of which, having been
reemtly laid before parliament, have thus come to the
knowledge of this gut, and wb'ch me of a tamer to
render further intercourse between the two gownsman
through that sinister alike unpleasant end detrimental to
their good understanding.

The President hag therefore been constrained by cal •
sidaratiols of the hest 'MOUES of both countries, re•
loctantly to have recourse to the oily ressaleieir luau
of removing, without delay, these Tory unacceptable
offlons from the conecction they now Dave with this guTern•
=ant.

This course has been deemed netterwary oia account of
their unfitness qtr the poeitidne they hold, arising from
the very active part they hays taken in getting up sod
carrying out a system of recruiting, which has bees so.
tended with numerons infractions our laws, which has
diEurbed oar internal tresquil,ty sad endangered oar
peaceful relations to a nation with which this st, oint-
ment is most saunas to maintain cortial friendship and in-
timates commercial and social intetc,area.

He has, therefor., determined to reod to Mr. Crerep•oo,
her Melody's diplomatic represinta.ive, his purport, and to
revoke the esequatore of Mr. Matthews, Mr. Barely, and
Mr. Roweeroft, British Consuls at Philadelphis,New York,
sad Ciaeanati. I am, sir, trip aridly, your obedient ser-
vant, W. L. Maur.
Geo. H. Dallas, , &a., L odes.

A mange from the Pesident, informing Congress
that he had ceased to ha:el intercourse with the
British Minister, and the above despatch from Secre-
tary Marcy, were presented to the Senate on the 29tb.
In the course of the discussions which followed
the reading of the above dczarnents, General Cass
said that no pretext far war could arise out of the
dismissal of Mr. Crampton, unless England wee de-
termined logo to war.
The New York Herold says :—" Mr. Crampton will
leave for England In the steam-ship Canada, which
sails from Boston on Wednesday, the 4th inst., and

will be accompanied by Anthony Barclay, Req., late!
consul of the port of New York, and Geo. B. Mathew,
Esq., late consul of Philadelphia. It is supposed that
Charles Rowcroft, Frq., late consul at Cincin-
nati, will also sail on that day, should he be able to
finish up his business in time. The dismissed officials
will, of course, be anxious to report themselves to
their government at u early a date as possible, and
learn in what light their conduct has been viewed.
It has not yet transpired who will take charge of
the New York Consulate in the absence of Mr.
Barclay."
Secretary Marcy's letter to Lord Clarendon, on the
Central American qutation, is also published in ex-
ter.so in the Herald. The main points discussed in
this document are the difference of opinion between
the British government and that of the United States,
regarding the construction and effect of the convcn-
Hon of April 19,1850, popularly known u the Clayton-
Balwer treaty, and the proposition to submit to
arbitration for settlement the questions in dispute.
Mr. Dallas is instructed to ascertain, in the first
place, whether the existing differences cannot be
promptly terminated by negotiation ; and, if they
cannot, then to discuss the conditions of arbitration.
The President, it is said, does not doubt that any one of
the powers of Europe which should consent to undertaVe
the trek of such arbitration as is now proposed would per-
form the duty with perfect impartiality; but to apply to
any Power to do this would be to ask of them an act
which, if granted, would add to their own domestic du-
titre the labours and burden of settling the complicated
differences of ether governments, Be would greatly pre-
fer that, in a coniroveray like the present, turning on
points of political geography, the matter should be re
tarred to some one or more of those eminent men of nieces
who do honour to the intellect of Europe and America,
and who, with the previous consent of their respective
governments, might well undertake the task of deter-
mining such question to the acceptance es well of her Ma.
jetty's government as that of the United States. You are
instructed, therefore, to enter into communication with
her Majesty's prinepal Secretary for Foreign Affairs, in
relation to Central America, in order to wcertain, in the
first place, whether the esieting differences cannot be
promptly terminated by direct negotiation, and if they
cannot, then to distills the conditions rot arbitration upon
those points of difference as to which alone this method of
settlement seeirs requisite or applicable ; it heir g assumed
that other points of difference would, after that, yield, ea a
matter of courier, to conference between the E4l of Cla-
rendon and yourself, catelue,el in the spirit of cordiality
and frankness which be:onge to your personal relations, and
which is dictated by the true interests both of the United
States and Great Britain."

The following is the letter of &missal to Mr.
Crampton :
Department of State, Washington, May 28.
Sir,—The President of tte United States has directed
me to announce to you his determination to discontinue

I avail myself of th s t cession to add that due attention
will be obireefully given to any communications addressed
to this department font her Majesty's government effecting
the relations between Great Britain and the United States,
which may be forwarded to this g mernment thraugh any
other channel.

Should it be your pleasure to retire from the United
S &tee, the Prrindint directs ma to famish you with the
usual facilities for that purpose. I ons.-queotly soden

this op?ortenity to renew to you, sir, the assurance of
my respectful consideration. W. L. MARCY.

REFORMS IN THE PAPAL GOVERNMENT.

A letter from Vienna, in the Bourse Gazette of
Berlin, say. :—', I learn from a very good source
that the government of the Holy Father has given

assurances to the cabinets of Vienna, France, and
•London that it is firmly determined to effect in the
administration of his States all the reforms compa-
tible with the existing situation. It expresses the
hope that it may count on the energetic support of
France and Austria. The Papal communication is
stated to have produced • very favourable impres-
sion on the governments to which it was addressed."

MARSEILLES, FRIDAT EVINING.

Letters from Constantinople of the 6th state that
Christians had been admitted to take part in the pro-
cessions of the fete of the Bairam, and also at the cerc-
mony of kissing the hand of the Sultan.
Different projects for the formation of banks and
industrial establishments bad been lately presented
to the government. The representatives of several.
European companies had arrived at Constantinople,
aad he of the French Credit Mobilier was expected
very shortly. There are thus numerous competitors
in the field, and the Porte has only to choose betwet n
them.

Lady Stratford de Redcliffe was preparing to le►ve
for England, her eldest daughter being about to be
married. Lord Stratford has, it is said, obtained
leave of absence and will follow in a short time. The
rumour of the appointment of M. de Boutenieft as
Ambassador of Russia at the Porte was very favour-
ably received. That diplomatist was for many
years at Constantinople, where he•is much respected.

_
Letters from Treblzond state that Fort Nicholas
wee about to be Riven op to a Russian officer sent by
General Bebutoff. Sekonm-Kole and Rcdont•Kale
will not be evacuated until the end of June.
