GERMANY.

BERLIN, Juts' 22.
With respect to Danish affairs, the Zeitung for North
Germany announces that the succession question has,
within the last few days, been brought apparently to a
settlement by a family pact which has been concluded
between the chief claimants ; and that, with the exception
of Prince Ferdinand, they have all agreed to renounce
their claims in favour of Prince Christian of Schleswig-
Holstein, Sonderburg Olucksburg, and his descendants.
It is known that the King has for a considerable time made
this choice, and that the choice has met is ith the approval
of the Emperor of Russia, as the head of the Gottrop line.
It is certain at least that the present Danish cabinet will
devote their first attention to this important question, and
should they be able to get it settled, as above mentioned,
according to the wishes of the King, its future course of
policy will be clear.

BERLIN, Jt•LY 23.
The Middags Fasten confirms the news I sent you
yesterday. viz., that an important resolution has been
adopted with respect to the succession question; and adds that
the whole ministry went to Charlottenburo on Saturday even-
ing last to congratulate the Prince Christian of (Schleswig
Holstein) Glucksburg, as heir to the throne of Denmark.
M. Manteuffel, brother of the President of the Council, is
to enter the cabinet (the lfxeraz Zratung announces) as
Under Secretary of State.

AMERICA.
ARRIVAL OF THE HERMANN.

The American ocean steamer Hermann arrived
off Cowes this morning from New York, on her way
to Bremen. She left New York on the 12th inst., at
4 p.m. She has brought 91 passengers (41 for
England), and specie to the value of 190,0001. ster-
ling for England and France.
The Hamann passed the Franklin on the 13th,
and the Washington, 1,066 miles from the Needles,
on the 21st.

Captain Frazier, of the revenue 'service, now sta-
tioned in California, has been dismissed by the Pre-
sident, for tyrannical conduct and violation of the
act of Congress abolishing flogging.
Instructions have been given to secure a uniform
appraisement of imported goods at all the ports of
the United States.

An invitation has been extended to the President
and cabinet to accompany Mr. Webster on his journey
north.

According to dates from the city of Mexico to the
24th of June, the Mexican government had issued a
decree prohibiting all labour and scientific examina-
tions of the Tehuantepec mate, and ordering all
Americans concerned to leave the republic. Troops
had been sent out to enforce this decree. The Mem-
' can Congress was in sitting, discussing the national
debt. It is said that Arista had abandoned the libe-
rals on a bribe from the priests.
The steamer United States, bound for Tehuantepec,
had been refused a clearance at New Orleans by the
Mexican consul. The cholera was still at Cincinnati.
A terrible storm raged on the Texas coast for several
days. The steamer Maria Bart was totally lost.
Many houses in Texas were blown down, and the
the young cotton crop is partially destroyed.
Our correspondent writes as follows :
NEW YORK, JULY 12.
The Hermann leaves to-day, and with a good
freight and passenger-hot. The New York and Bremen line
is not the fastest, but it is a very popular one, and is really
doing well. No dividends have been made, however, and.
I do not know of any steam company that does make any.
The agents appear to be the principal parties benefited. '
Wo arc noticing. the coitacies of the Galway people at the'
probability of having a line of American steamers running
to their port. Before this, they will have learned the fate
of the scheme projected by the proprietors of the North
America. The truth is, the vessel was not fit to make such
a • oyagc, and there were but thirty passengers engaged.
It is all fur the best that she did not attempt to make the
voyage.
WC have no important news from Mexico or the West
Indies since Tuesday last. We hear, however, from Wash-
ington, that the Mexican minister is pressing the claims of
his government upon ours, already amounting to over 16
millions of dollars, for reparation for losses sustained from
Indian marauders, sad against whose incursions the treaty
with Mexico gave a guarantee and Indemnity. In one of
my late letters, I informed you that some flow ishing Ame-
rican towns on the frontier had been abandoned, in conse-
quence of the ravages committed by the native tribes.
The fact is that the rightful andjust action of Congress in
this and in other matters has been paralysed by the sense-
less conduct of the abolitionists, who, to secure to their
wooly-headed compatriots some abstract privileges which the
free negroes of the north do not value a pin, are compelled
to overlook these treaty obligations, as well as the duties
which pertain to our foreign political relations. We shall
have another imbroglio without doubt, with Mexico, arising
out of the treaty. It would be an easy prey at this time, if
we should have any difficulty. But when we have as much
as we can do to keep the union together, under the insiiUous
attacks of fanatics and foreigners, it may be set down as a
tied fact that such a power as Mexico will have to wait a
while before its complaints will have even a hearing.
It has been rumoured for some days past that Mr.
Webster is about to resign his post as Secretary of State.
We learned yesterday that the rumour is unfounded; bob
it is tolerably well understood he is to leave his department
for about two months, in order to regain his health. It
is also said that he may make a brief visit to London and
Paris during this period.
We have just learned, by telegraph from Washington,
that General Talcott has been found guilty of the charges
preferred against hint by the Secretary of War, and dis-
missed from the army. This will be a severe blow to him-
self and his numerous friends. His offence consisted in
giving out ordnance contracts illegally, and concealing the
facts to avoid censure. It may be that there are circum-
stances worse than tills connected with the transaction. He
has a son in the army, a colonel by brevet, who has distin-
guished
himself greatly both in the Florida and Mexican
WWI.

As I was about closing this letter I learned the arrival of
the sloop-of-war St. Louis at Baltimore, from Moate Video,
bringing important intelligence (already known in England).
General Urquixa, governor of Entre Rios, has declared
againstee Rosa.,
a;datCrOuliast7 rhderePairsageuveay have
p followed
the
war between Brazil and Buenos Ape,. every
former has
nearly 30,000 men in the field, on the frontiers of Uruguay,
and a fleet of one frigate, two sloops, two brigs, and three
steamers in the River Plate, under command of Admiral
Greaten.

The wiege of Monte Video, which commeneed in Feb-
ruary 1842, is about to be raised. Oribc placed but little
, confidence in WI officers, and it was thought that the Ar-
gentine troops would be recalled to Buenos Ayres, and he
would have to take care of his own safety. Urquisa's policy
is to make the navigation of the Uruguay and Parana free
to all nations.

Our legislature has adjourned, after consummating the
atrocious scheme of raising nine millions of dollars, in the
teeth of the constitutional prohibition. As the debt is
declared to be no lien on the state, and no obligation to pay
it has been incurred, I presume it will not be very popular
in the stock market,
Money is very plentiful here just now.
By the steamer of Wednesday I shall have some interest-
ing news from the south.
