AMERICA.

SOUTHAMPTON, JULY 10.
"By the United States' mail steam-ship Arago,
Captain Lines, with the French and English mails,
which arrived off Cowes this morning, en route to
Havre, we have dates from New York to the 28th
ultimo.

The Arago brings 230 passengers, of whom 26
are for England ; $550,000 in specie for Havre,
$150,000 for London, and 1,500 barrels of flour.
The intelligence from England was looked for-
ward to with great interest. In reference to the
feeling with regard to 'the difficulties between Eng-
land and America conveyed in the intelligence re-
ceived by the Asia, the New York Herald says :
When the last mail arrived we stated that the im-
broglio might be considered as terminated. We now
reiterate that conviction with a better knowledge of the
facts. The question is now narrowed down into one of
Mr. Crampton's guilt or innocence. That is the proper
around for it to occupy. If Mr. Crampton was inno-
cent he was wrongly dismissed, and it would serve
this country right not only to see its Minister disinis,ed,
but to lose character and prestige throughout Europe,
fir the only excuse fir the high-handed measure then
would be that" Mr. Pierce was courting popularity for
electoral purposes, and no one in this country
would object to see a President well punished for
thus proving false to his station. But if, on the
-ther band, Mr. Crampton was guilty—and we are
bound to say that, for our part, we have not the'
smallest doubt but he wai;--then it will devolve on the
—British Government not to carp at this Aiministration
for dismissing him, but to render to Mr. Pierce hearty
thanks for having taken a-measure which justice called
for, and the interests and friendship of the two nations
required. Indeed, from the moment that the question
is placed on this—the only rational—basis, it ceases to
he dangerous or irritating. It assumes a shape in which
reason can grasp it without any enormous effort ; it does
not necessarily provoke outbursts of national prejudice
or passion. Did Mr. Crampton commit the acts charged
or did he not ? That is the whole poifit now ; and we
can assure our British neighbours that if they Can show,
in a straightforward, sensible way, that the charges
brought against the British Minister were unfounded,
and the acts whereof h'e stands accused not actually
committed by him, they will obtain the hearty sympathy
of every American citizen, and every respectable jour
nal, in denouncing, in the-strongest terms, the conduct
of the President and his advisers. But until that is
shown we must be allowed to consider the argument
against Crampton to he conclusive."

The forthcoming Presidential election was causing
great excitement, and it was said there, had not
been so much enthusiasm manifested throughout
the North and West at the nomination of a candi-
date for the Presidency since the Harrison cam-
paign of 1840 a there was in bringing forward
-001_ Fremont, the Great Kooky . Afonntain path-
finder. Large meetings had been held, processions
formed, and guns fired.. The struggle was expected
to be most exciting. From the confident tone,
however, of the democratic journals, the election
Of Mr. Buchanan appeared certain.
The Illinois, with San Francisco dates of the 5-th
ult., had arrived at New York. The news is im-
portant. The murderers Casey and Cora were
hung on the 221 of May, the day of the burial' ot
tilr. ding. _

The United States steam-frigate Susquehanna,
Commander Joshua R. Sands, arrived at New
York on tho 27th, ult. from Aspinwall and San
Juan, carrying the broad pennant of Commodore
EL raulding. The Susquehanna left San Juan on
~he 10th. Nothing very definite was learned of the
movements of General Walker, who was at Leon,
Awaiting the result of the election of a Presideni,
hen pending. The army of Costa Rica had
disappeared. Carrera, President of Guatemala,
►ad raised an army of 3,000 men to act
iaainst Walker, and left his capital with
he full determination of giving him battle;
;Jut before he had reached the borders of

lig State his ranks were reduced by de
;ertion and death to 500 men, when he deemed ii

,he wisest policy to march back again. .Hondurat,
'refused to allow the Guatemala army to pass
!irough.ler territory. St. Salvador was friendly
o Walker's government, and he is now more firmly
..eated on Central -American soil than any of tlik

,i,trive rulers. 'The recruits from New Orleans,
with six pieces of artillery and a large quantity of
munitions of war; found no difficulty in joining
Waliier's forces.
