THE UNITED STATES.

The United States Ocean Mail steamer Hermann
arrived at Southampton yesterday, on her way to
Bremen. She left New York on the 26th ult. She
brought a very heavy mail, consisting of nearly 50
sacks of letters and newspapers, the largest mail from
New York ever landed at Southampton. Atter coal-
ing, the Hermann proceeds on to Bremen to-day.
The United States Mail steamer Baltic arrived at
New York from Liverpool on the 24th ult.
The Washington from Southampton arrived at
New York on the 21st ult., and the Africa, hence,
on the 23rd ult.

The acceptance of the Esterhezy propositions by
Russia, was not known at New York when the Her-
man left, the latest date from England being Jan-
uary 12.
The House of Representatives had not been organ-
ized when the Hermann left New York. Three
ballots for a speaker took place on the evening of
January 2isth, the last being the 127th, with the
following results;—Bank., 94; Fuller, 23; Ott, 64;
guttering, 12. Nececsary for choice 98.
Orr, who appears on this list, replaces Richardson,
the democrat, who on the 23rd resigned his preten-
sions to the chair. At the meeting of democrats held at
the capital at which this resignation took place Mr.
Richardson declared that he retired from the position
his party bad assigned him with feelings of the
deepest gloom. He could not believe that his with-
drawal would remove discord from the counsels of
the party or of the country. The general tenor of
the speeches by other gentlemen was that the demo-
crats must adhere to the platform adopted when
Richardson was nominated, and that they must re-
peat their unchangeable hostility to republicanism
and to know-nothingism. This was the unanimous
opinion of the meeting, and a resolution to that effect
was unanimously adopted.
The President has sent a second rat/Inge to Con-
gress, and it has been received in Lath houses. It
relates to Kansas, and attributes the unhappy condi-
tion of thinp in the territory partly to the mal-admi-
nistration of Governor Reeder, partly to the birder
ruffians, and partly to the abilition propagandists.
He hints that the erection of Kansas into a state
would put an end to the troubles. The subject was
referred to the committee on territories. A terrible
excitement was raised when the President's Message
upon Kansas was announced, the black republicans
being desirous of rejecting it altogether. They
were voted down, however, and the document was
received.

The New York Courier and Inquirer of the 26th
says there is full ground for the belief that the un-
settled points between the two countries will be soon
adjusted, and that there will be an increased and
profitable trade for the ensuing year.
The Congressional proceedings on the 24th were
important. In the Senate Mr. Clayton presented a
communication from the President, covering a letter
dated Jan. 19, 1853, from Lord John Russell to Mr.
Crampton_ ,on Central American affairs. It declares
that the British government intends strictly to carry
out the Clayton Balwer treaty, and to assume no
sovereignty, directly or indirectly, in Central Ame-
rica. Mr. Clayton criticised this letter, and the
policy of Great Britain, in terms of great severity
and Mr. Cass announced that on Monday next he
should address the Senate on the subject. An im-
portant debate, in which the whole subject of United
States relations with England will be discussed, will
commence on that day.
The Washington correspondent of the Tribune
says
Amid conflictine statements, information from an an-
thentio source warrants the assertion that to far from •
special massage relative to oar foreign affairs being about to
be sent t t e tier branch of Congress, it has not at anytime
been contemplated, much less has it been the subject of
cabinet consultstant. Trough this government has de-
mended the recall of Mr. Crampton and the Briti,h con-
nate aimed in recruitiog for the Crimes, It can as confi-
dently be stated that there has been no purpose in or out of
the Cabinet to withdraw Mr. Buchanan from England, un-
less at his own request. Nay Vat ion', he tween Great Britain
and the United States are still opts, despatches having
been sent eat by the last steamer, and toothier has oc
retried since the transm'asion of the Prfsid•at's Message to
Congress to change the aspect of our relations thread. Mr.
Boyar's resolution, offered in the house to-day, declaring
our relations with Great Britain to be of the most ',riots
character, and indicating that we may be on the eve of
gutting events, was net, so supposed, submitted with the
semen* ter knowledge of the executive, bet was Mr. Boyee's
t prAssentea.
