Maxico, June 27, 1848.—The revolution which was to have broken forth in the city of Mexico the night of the 25th. has been deferred in consequence of the ar- rest of five of the leaders of it, and of a discovery made by the police of 250 muskets which had been secreted by several members of the Puro party. from the time of the occupation of the city by the American troops,— ‘These muskets, as well as some sabres, ammunition and clothing, were all of American manufacture. ‘They were found in a be hich had been occupied by the jockey club founded in Mexico by Majors Polk, Gray- fon, and other distinguished officers, Paredes, against whom the government declares itself most violently, as well as in written documents as by its acts, is far from abandoning his position. He bas had fortifications erected in Guanajuato, to prevent the danger of a sur- price by the government troops, and to enable him to 4well the ranks of his little army. At present he has ineteen pieces of artillery. 1600 soldiers, 4000 musket : proportionate munitions of war. On the other hand, Generals Minon and Bustamente do not much concern themreives to approach Queretaro, They al- lege as their excuse that their advance guard is con- tinvally deserting, and that in truth they are at the meroy ofthe officers serving under them, who have hitherto been five or six times engaged in insurrec- tions, for which they have heen liberally rewarded, in- stead of being punished as they deserved. The govern- ment must be besotted indeed to place any reliance “ upon troops of this character, especially after the ex- etience which it bas had The St. Patrick company as emancipated itself! When the government re- ceived the news of the pronunciamento of Paredes, this company was escorting a conducta of a million of epecie from Queretaro to this city. When they had reached Tula they received orders to rejoin the go- vernment troops stationed near Queretaro. Whether | they were intiuedced by the desire of making their for- tune off hand by stealing the money in tne conduyta— | of which they are very capable—or whether through in- suberdination, which had not before manifested itself | in their ranks—the truth is that as soon as they receiy- ed the order to countermarch, they broke out and in- sulted their Mexican commandant, named Schiafino, and were about to assassinate him, when a company of cavalry present interposed, and they all returned to | their duty sgain—at ieast for the moment. Even should the government triumph, and Paredes be compelled by force of arms to retire, the revolution will be far from being put down. Another, a moral re- volution, has commenced, of which I have before made mention. Vena Crvz, July 1, 1848.—This morning the Louisi- ave Ipfantry battalion, under command of Lieutenant Colonel Fierea. sailed from this place for New Orleans, | and the 11th Infantry, under Col. Ramsey, embarked on board the ship America, for New York. ‘The whole regiment, some eight hundred men, goes on board this vessel, and she appears to be abundantly able to ac- | commodate them. The mole presents a busy scene | about this time. and great credit is due to Capt. Mas- | ten, the Port Quarter-Master, for his indefatigable in- dustry and unremitting attention to the duties of his atation. He has literally not a minute he can call his own, and is ably assisted by Mr. Shoemnker, the cap- tain of the mole, to whose obliging disposition I have been much indebted. The United States steamer Scorpion arrived on Thursday from Laguna, and reported that a battle had taken place near Campeachy, between the Indians and whites, without any decisive result. The savages had approached so near Laguna, that an attack was apprehended, and Capt. Bigelow had sent the Scorpion here to bring down horses to mount his marines, of whom he had some four hundred. By the by, speak- ing of Yucetan, | conversed with a gentleman who ar- rived from Campeachy a day or two since, and he in- formed me that the inhabitants of that place had been taxed for the purpose of raising money to pay the ex- mses of the volunteers who were expected to arrive New Orleans. and that a large sum of money ‘would be easily raised there. Vera Cruz, July 2, 1848.—The diligence arrived lest night from Mexice, bringing dates to the 27th ultimo, from that city. Nothing of importance had occurred in reference to the insurrection of Paredes since the last mail, but in the Monitor- of the 27th ult..will be found an interesting exposition of the whole affair from the pen of Otero, the Minister of Relations. The Monitor also eays that the negotia- téon with the house of Manning & Mackintosh, in re- ference to the bonds for five millions of dollars hypo- thecated to them by Santa Anna, had been concluded, by the government paying only the six hundred thou. sand dollars criginally advanced by them to Santa Anna. The Mentor says this affair confers great cre- dit tpon the government of Pena y Pena. Several emieraries of Jarauta had been arrested in the city of Mexico, and the papers complain of incendiary hand- bills and circulars being placed in conspicuous sta- tions about the streets by these men. An attempt ‘was made to rob the diligence ‘near San Juan yester- day, but, unfortunately for the robbers, it contained three American passengers; one of whom fired upon them and killed one of the £5 His fall was the sig- nal for a genera! flight of the /adrones, and the stage came through without further molestation. Gen. Kearny arrived in town yesterday afternoon, and Gens. Marshall and Lane leave to-day. While I write, the Louisiana mounted battalion are going on board the ship Mosiem, which leaves to-day. I trust these ‘allant fellows will meet with the reception that is due | em at the hands of the citizens of New Orleans. No | portion of the army has been more constantly em- ployd or performed harder service than this batialion, and the thieves and murderers between this city and Jalapa will long remember the daring actions per- | formed by them. Nor have their operations been con- | fined entirely to this section, as the region around Puebla ean testify; one company of them having been stationed there, and participated in the brilliant | deeda of Gen Lane; and more than once have the other companies of the battalion escorted small trains | to the city of Mexico and back, braving all the dan- gers of the road. They have conferred honor upon the State of Louisiana. and she will not be backward in acknowledging their claims. Extract of a letter dated Mexico, June 24th.—Pa- | | Tilton.

This piece combines great dramatic interest with splendid scenic display, and affords ample scope for fine acting. Mr, Marshall took the part of Eleazar the Jew, and Mrs, Phillips that of the Jewess. ‘The story is mainly founded on the loves of the Jewess and the Prince Leopold, which jatter character was finely personated by that excellent young actor, sr rogne. was very good. Weare glad to see Mr.S. #0 thoroughly restored to health, after the serious accident that be- fell him some time The scenes, processions, ban- quets, &c., in the “Jewess” were most 6) up, and altogether this piece reflects much credit on the mancger of the house. The grand drama of the “Lady of the Lake,” founded on Sir Walter Scott's eclebrated poem of that name, was the seoond piece. Miss Mary Taylor took the part of Blanche of Devon, for the first time. and ber excellent acting in it showed that she is equally good in all that she undertakes ; nor can we pass over Mr. Marshall’s Rhoderick Dhu, which was a most admirable impersonation of the bold chief. The farce of the “Two ‘oys"’ concluded the performances. The same Dill will be repeated this evening. 1no’s, Aston Piack.—M. axp Mavame p’Hyr La- nonve.—The long expected “Grand Concert Dra matique”’ of these two distinguished artists, took place last evening, and was attended by a numerous assom- bly; among whom were the true dilettanti, who were the frequenters of the Italian Opera, The concert | consisted of an excellent selection from the best piecos ever written by the French composers, and sfforded the two débutants a fair opportunity of exhibiting as well their histrionic talent as the extent of their voices. M Laborde opened the performance with the personifica- tion of Eléazar in * La Juive,” by Halevy, and ren- dered this piece of music with great feeling and energy. Madame Laborde was introduced afterwards in the celebrated aria from Auber's “Le Serment,"? and was re- ceived with the utmost applause. The energy of her yocal method, and her accomplishment as an actress, en- title her to a bigh position in public opinion; and she was fully appreciated by all the audience as the only cantatrice whoj could make an imp:ession in the United States, after the celebrated Cinti Damorean,— The eloquence of her vocolises, the justness of her in- tonation, are indeed unsurpassablé, In the cabsletta of Le Serment,”’ she sang the lovely music which it contains with the most perfect effect, throwing into it all the science of her beautiful method. ‘The audience demanded an imperative encore, which was granted by the fair enchantress, M. Laborde, whose singing hes contributed to swell the reputation which had already preceded him,achieved it in the duett from “ Guillaume Tell.” This grand morceau, from Rossini, wasa touch- jug scene, and he exhibited in it the greatest amount ot feeling. This duo of animated love and rapturc, which burst from the pair when confidence is shared by them, was delivered with immense pow. er, ‘Lhe last scene of Rossini’s opera, in which M. Laborde appeared, afforded this singer an excellent opportunity to display a very dignified deportment. ‘The ensemble was excellent, forthe chorus agers, by the faithful discharge of their duties, helped the gene- ral completeness of this famed finale. The last and best applause was given to Madame Laborde, in her grand air from “Le Rossiguol,” in which this lady undoubtedly surpaesed the warbling of the nightingale, and was rewarded with two splendid bouquets. In short, this soirée musicale was a great affair, and throws great credit both upon the singers and Mr. Niblo, who engaged them at his fine resort of amusement. The pretty Rose Telbin appeared also, last night, in the sketch of the “ Widow's Victim,” and performed with her usual skill and sweetness, assisted by Mr. John Sefton, and the best members of the company. The Rrograimme for this evening will consist of “Le Domino ‘oir.” sung by Miss Eliza Brient and Mr. Manvers; and the ballet by the “ Lehman Family.” No doubt the theatre will be fully attended. CuatHam Tueatre.—The house was filled to over- flowing, last evening. The manager has gathered to- gether such a group of excellent actors, that it is really a pleasure to attend their fine representations at thi, house. Mr. Lester appeared last evening in the drama of “Don Cwear de Bazan,” and we have seldom seen the gay, thoughtless, and withal gallant and chival- rous Don, so well played. ‘The applause given was loud Satisfaction was apparent throughout the numerous and highly re- spectable audience, Mr. Lester is quite an acquisition at the Chatham. and as he will perform every evening this week, fine amusement may be expected. “New York As It Is.” the next piece, with Chanfrau, Miss Mestayer. and Winans, in thelr favorito parts. went off with the usual applause; and the farce of “Uncle Sam’? sent every body home in good humor. ‘To-night, the drama of “Robert Macaire,” “ New York As It Is, and “Nature exd Philosophy,” will form the bill. This, the jast week of the season, will also be the best, we think, Castue Ganvex.—Where can a more refreshing, in- vigorating location be found than this cool, healthfu! and beautiful theatre? Every feature of scenery that is capable of imparting pure enjoyment to the mind, can here be viewed—every quality of air that is neces- sary to strengthen the constitution, can here be in. hailed. In fact, if there were no other amusements pre- sented for the people’s pleasure than those adverted to, they are a sufficient compensation for the small admis- sion money of twenty-five cents. But. in addition to all thore peculiar advantages, French & Heiser have an excellent dramatic company who nightly perform light and amusing vaudevilles, Among these are names fa- miliar to the play-going folks as the best comedians in theirline. Andrews, of the Park; Nickinson, of the Olymple; and the great favorite and celebrated com: dian, George Holland. The amusements, last evening, commenced with the dramatic comedy of the “Jacob- ite.” ‘The part of Jack Duck, by Holland, was an ad- mirable performance, and the characters of Sir Richard ‘Wroughton and Major Murray, were ably sustained by Baker and Nickinson. Mrs. Vernon, the best actress in her line in this country, or any where else, played the Widow Pottle to the very life. “Robert Macaire” wound up the entertainment, in which Holland, as Jaques Strop, Nickinson as Robert Macaire, An- drews, as Mons. de Germeul, were loudly eheered for their excellent personification of these characters. Benton's Turatere.—A highly fashionable and se- lect audience attended here last evening, to witness the performance. The great star of attraction was the gifted and popular proprietor, Mr Burtun, in one of Lis best characters, Paul Pry. Among the crowded audience, were several of the literati of our city, and the theatre, in point of high and varied talents, among the corps dramatique, teenie display, fashion and beau ty, reminded us of what it was in its palmiest days. icious management, will ensure it that share of pu ic patropage which talent and enterprise is always sure to command among the many patrons and ad- mirers of dramatic genius in this populous city. In the comedy of ‘Paul Pry,” Mr. Burton’s personation of the principal character was rich in the extreme, ‘Those who have seen him some three years ago, would be inclined to pronounce him, even improved, if room there could be for improvement, in the part of Paul Pry, which is deemed his forte. We hail his appear- ance again upon our boards with much satisfaction, and feel assured that his personal qualifications and popularity, coupled with his taste and judicious ima- nagement, will have the effect to revive the high cha- racter generally enjoyed at this grand centre of attraction in’ New York. The part of Harry Stanly, by Mr. Crisp, was admirably sustained ; and that of Hebe, by Miss Chapman, was an exeellent perronation. The piece altogether passed off most ized a considerable force and is | successfully. At the conclusion, Mr. Burton was en possession al- | called out before the curtain, and was received with most without opposition of that rich mining district, | enthusiastic applause, which lasted for some time thus strengthening his position greatly, both in men | and means. Jt is true that Gen Bustamente is in the | vietnity with a forer. which, if to be depended upon, | would be abundantly sufficient to crush him, but the | fear is, that there governine) t troops, the moment that | portunity presents, will go over to Paredes, and thus ive him the power to march forthwith on the capital, | and porsers himeelf without opposition of the govern- | ment. ‘The national guard-which tas proved very eMicient and ureful a a police for the city, would probably net put themselves in opposition to a regular foree of 000 or 4000 men coming here under such cir cumstances.

Common Counet Boanp or Atvenman, July 17—Niel Gray, Esq. Pre- sident, pro tem. As soon as the roll was called, Alderman Franklin rose and announced the sudden death of Robert Swartwout, late Alderman of the 3d ward; his remarks were at once beautiful and touching He said—Mr. President ; Seldom has it become my duty to make so melancholy an announcement as now devolves upon me, in AEROS SIRE [Oe death of the Alderman of the 3d ward—an event which has cast a gloom over this circle, and all deeply feel the great loss we have s1 ined. This morning Alderman Swartwout left his family with 8 good prospects for life as any of us, but the shaft of death sped its course; and. when about leaving a friend, he was suddenly attacked, fell into the arms of that friend, and in a moment died. He has ‘gone to that bourne from whence no traveller returns, and the place that knew him, shall know him no more for- ever.’” To most of us he was a stranger. but he has ever been found a faithful representative of the interests of the city ; and in all the relations of life was a devoted nt, a true friend, and an upright citizen. With Bis daughters, who have been thus suddenly bereft, and who can no more call him by the endearing name of father, we deeply sympathise. though we cannot re- store him to their affectionate embraces—but they have the consolation to know, that he died an honest man. For morethan twenty years 1 have been assocl- ated with him by the ties of acquainntance, and my- self, and all who bave known, have ever foundin him a sincere friend and a consistent man.

The financial arrangement which the managers of the Roading Company have for sometime past beon perfecting, having been eatiafactorily settled; all their seouritics have improved even in the face of a decline in all other stocks, We learn that this company will make an effort soon to convert the balanos of its dubt into stock, so that all the liabilities will be pineed on If they succeed in comp'cting this arrangement, the stock willin @ few years be worth double what it is now selling for. Sterling exchange has been in active demand to- day. Prime bills we quote at 9% # 10 per cont pre- mium, and nearly ail on the market offering has been taken. Bills on Paris we quote at Sf 20; Amsterdam, 41 a 4154; Bremon, 794 8 79%; Hambury, 35% a 30. The following returns from the books at the collec? tor’s office, at Pitsbury, is a comparative statement o the business of the Pennsylvania oanals, during the months of March, April, May and June, in the years 1847 and 1848 :— Pensrivania Canats—Touns ann Tonnage, 1847. 1348, Tonnage.

By this impediment, a large amount of busi- | ness was thrown into another channel; hence the difference in the proceeds during this period from # like period in 1847. The receipts of the Central Railrosd Company of Georgia, for the month of June, 1843, were $20,144 64, against $16,482 46 fur the eame month in 1847, being an increase this year of $9,902 18, The freighting business of this road this year has been very large, compared with last. responding month last. The report of the Finance Committee of the Na- tional Assembly of France, on the financial state of the republic, gives rather a gloomy account of the resources of the country, and the means of meeting | the current expenditures. The financ‘al history of France is filled with cvents elmilar to those which has recently tranepired. Six times the goverament have been bankrupt, and repudiation has been more gencrally resorted to for the purpose of reducing the public indebtednees, than in any other country. Even n the face of these revulsions in her finances, her credit has often been reinstated, and her public debt from time to time jargely increased. At the commence- ment of the political revolution in February last the debt of France amounted to about $1,800,000,000, and the government has announced its determination to assume the whole and provide for the payment of in- terest on it, Its ability to de so will soon be tested) and the nation may be saved from the disgrace of ano- | ¥¥ Repudiation does not | ther repudiation of its debt. sccm to have such an effect upon the credit ot monarchi- cal governmnts as upon those of a republican stamp. ‘The repudiation of a portion of the debts of one or two of | our States, injuriously affected the credit of every other State, and ofthe general government. To such anex- tent has this been carried, that our State stocks, bear- ing interest at the rato of six per cent, will only com- mand in European markets, little better prices than European stocks bearing a rate of interest about half ofours. We cannot attribute this entirely to the effect of repudiation, but partially to the more limited know- ledge foreign capitalists have of our Pogition, our re- sources, and the security of our investments. The recent demand for our stocks abroad, gives us some hope that the capitalists of the old world have becomo more enlightened, and have turned their attention to this country with a view of making permanent invest- ments in our securities. This has been brought about sooner, perbaps, than it would otherwise have been, by the overthrow of so many monarchical governments on the continent of Europe, and the immense deprecia- tion of their securities. The Rothschilds bave recent- ly purchased largely of American securities, and the example of that house will no doubt be followed by others of less note. To return tothe finances of France. It appears that the receipts into the treasury of that country for the year 1848, are estimated by the Minister of Finance, at 1,684,965,870f. and the expenditures for the same period at 1,680,222,606f, which would leave a balance in the treasury, of 4,143,264f. The finan- cial commitee of the Assembly differ from the Minister in many of the items of revenue, and cut down several to the amount of 119,000,900f. Some of the extraor- sources of revenue, as estimated by the Minister of Fi- nance, are presented in the annexed table :— Financia, Resources or tHe Frexcu Government Francs. Loan from the Bank... + 150,000,000 New stock delivered to the purchasers in the departments in 1848 and 1849. . ... 100.000.000 Cuttings in the forests in 1343 and 1849... 25,000,000 Detached woods to be sold. . 14,000,000 Interchangen with the hospitals = 25,000,000 ‘Wood belonging to the State + 86,000,000 Alluvial deposits, marshes, &e.. .. + 4.000/000 Overdue debts to be recovered 3,000,000 Cash in possession of the railway compa- nies.. ee . Revenue of railways in 1848 Mortgages in 1849... . Thinnings from the Total... The loan from the bank is easily obtained, and is, therefore, counted upon, The new stock delivered to purchasers in the departments in 1843 and 1849, is considered, by the committee, s dangerous step for credit. The state of trade does not allow the cuttings in the forest to be relied upon, The sale of real pro. perty is estimated by the committee at fifty millions, and no reliance bsyond that is considered safe. The recovery of overdue debts is considered very doubtful, The cash in possession of the railway com. panies is exagcerated. The companies hold twenty- five millions of Treasury bonds,which could not be avail- able; and then as the Assembly had not decided upon the purchase of these lines, it cannot yet be reckoned upon asan item of revenue. The mortgazes will, it is | estimated, yield cighty-three millions of francs; but as they have already been put down among the ordinary resources of the Treasury, they must, of course, be erased from the list of extraordinary resources for tho year. Lastly, the committee recommend that the twenty-five millions, the sum estimated to be paid back by the ancient civil list, on account of the thin- nings made in property in the forests of tho Stato, bs struck out, as the question was unsettled, and it will be along time before anything derived from that pro- perty can be realized. The Committee of Finance have completely do- stroyed the calculations of the Minister of Finance Out of 580,000,000 francs estimated feom these source by the minister, the committee consider only 250,000.- 000 francs ensured, viz: 150 milliens from tho bank. 50 millions from the rents of the departments, and 50 millions from the sale of different portions of the do- main of the State, In conclusion,«we give, the closing remarks of the committee in their report: “On the other hand, we calculate that the Gea- ciency of the amended budget of 1848 would amount to & sum approximating 120 to 140 millions, In this man- ner, after having covered the deficiency to # certain amount, with the cxtraordinary resources, the Trea- sury will not have more from these same resources, in commencing the service of the year 1849, than the sum of 100 millions. Andthe Assembly will remark that this suin may be still further diminished by extraordi- dary credits which are not placed in the budget. “Phus the Uteliers Nutionana have already absorbed a sum of nine millions. You granted them, on the 2éth of May, a sum of three millions, and already a farther graut is demanded of you. The balance of 100 mil- lions to the credit of the Treasury, at the end of 1848, is therefore only a matter to be hoped, after all. But, however that may be, you have resources to the end of 1848. Your object is to gain ti because it brings back your credit “Credit is only founded on fidelity to engagements. A State, like2au individual has only credit on condi- tion of paying his debts, Convinced of this truth, your committee bas already proposed to you to reim- bares the Bene dx Tréeer, aud the deposits in the Sav- ings Banks, in five per cents, at the price of the day. This measure would have the most salutary re- sults; it wonld relieve our finances of the floating debt which crushes it; and the very greatness of the sacrifice which we would impose upon ourselves, would rove to the world that we do not shrink hefore any joes to do honor to our engagements, Notwithstanding the contrary advice given by the Minister of Finance, our committee persists in this conviction, It persists in it with still greater force when it sees the modo of payment proposed by the minister ‘The minister pro- # to us to decide that the Bons du Trésor issued be- fore the 24th of February, 1848, or renewed since that time, shall be renewed by a series of 1,500,000 franca from month to month, to commence from the month of November, 1848. Your committee does not approve of a measure, of which the result is to prorogue for fifteen years the payment of Hons, which a decree of the Pro- Wilonel Coverniaant’ Nev already prorogued for six months, If the combination of the minister is adopted, the treasury will be deprived, between this time an the end of fifteen years, of the resource, 60 necessary, of the floating debt, which, on the contrary, would be at once opened immediately to us, if we adopted the liquidation which we have the honor of proposing. We also maintain the same plan for the Savings Banks— that ed cred tof the workman, We spree of the ial reimbursement proposed by the minister. But Tis mecrere has ai inconvenience of leaving on the treasury thee abandoning the nnheppy positors, who have occasion for their saiars ie discretion of Intors “By the liquidation of the floating de! id extraordinary resources of 260 miHions, at which we calculate the available resources, we hope to arrives for time is safety, In June this year 7,298 bales of | cotton were transported, against 463 bales for the cor- | the rest, The “Such, citizens, is, without discouragement, as well as without illusion, the arm judgment that your passes on the situation of your finances.” Nu Ihe pane Reding RR 99-33 te Sam Iadiona Stale 3% ig 150 do Banaee Teast aX Wig 26 do Nor& WorR 6% 32 102" 500 do Harlem RR 5 inols Fundable 41150 r 3) 51 Mig.
