SOUTHAMPTON, JrLY 10.
By the United States' mail steam-ship Arago,
Captain Lines, with the French and English mails,
whioh 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 sa.)s

' 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
ground 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 disrnis.ed,
but to lose character and prestige throughout Europe,
for the only excuse for 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
other hand, Mr. Crampton was guilty—and we are
bound to say that, for our part, we have not the
smallest doubt but he was—then it will devolve on the
British Government not to carp at this Administration
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
be dangerous or irritating. It assumes a shape in whieb
reason can grasp it without any enormous effort ; it does
not necessari►y provoke outbursts of national prejudice
or passion. Did Mr. Crampton commit the acts charged
or did he not ? That is the whole point 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 he 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 omit net
of the President and his advisers. But until that is
shown we must be allowed to consider the argument
against Crampton to be conclusive."

The forthcoming Presidential election was causing
great excitement, and it was said there had not
beem so much enthusiasm manifested throughout.

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 United States steam-frigate Susquehanna,
Commandor Joshua R. Sands, arrived at New
York on the 27th ult. from Aspinw-all and San
Juan, carrying the broad pennant of Commodore
H. Paulding. The Susquehanna left ;Ban Juan on
the 10th. Nothing very definite was learned of the
movements of General Walker, who was at Leon,
awaiting the result of the election of a President,
then pending. The army of Costa Rica had
disappeared. Carrera, President of Guatemala,
had raised an army of 3,000 mon to act
against Wa/ker, and left his capital with
the full d(Aermination of giving hire battle ;
but before he had reached the Larders of
his State his ranks were reduced by de-
sertion and dea th to 500 men, when he cteemed it
the wisest poli4:y to march back again. 13 onduras
refused to all ow the Guatemala army to pass
through her territory. St. Salvador was; friendly
to Walker's government, and he is now m( me firmly
seated on Central American soil than any of the
native rulers.- The recruits from New Orleans,
with six pieces (c)f artillery and a large quantity of
munitions of war, found no difficulty in joining
Walker's forces.
