Interesting from Mexico. ‘THE COUP D’ ETAT OF PRESIDENT CEVALLOS—STATE OF THE REPUBLIC—THE PLAN OF GUADALAJABA— THE POLICY OF THE NEW GOVERNMENT. the New Orleans Courier, Feb. 12. Mexican papers to the 22d of January reached us yes- terday, by ‘he schooner Manuelite. from Tuspan, and Vera Cruz papers to the Slst, by the brig Lucy. The io XLX, of Mesieo. «blishes a number of docu- ments ting to a pronunciamento which had been made im the capital. These are the declarations of the officers of the army—that of the garrison —'he protest of Congress —the distinct address of the two Chambers to the people, and the proclamation of the Governor of the Federal Dis- trict, quoting the order which he bai received from the Minister of Justice, to treat the members of Congress as conspirators, for persisiing in sitting contrary to the de- cree of the President, of the 20th of January, and to cause them to be arrested and handed over to the constituted tribunals. By virtue of the order, three representatives, SS. T. Vil lasenor, G. Vallee and J M. Lacanza—the last beimg the President of the Chan.ber—and two Senators, SS. J. M. , and F. M. de Ulaguibel. were arrested and de- fora short time! “\e Goveroor of the Federal | District) * owe Azearate—under what circum- | st~_ ew will presently appear. | Fighteen senators having met at the residence of S.

It is quite clear, therefore. that the authorit this chief was not yet well establi-hed, and that, although he ap} to be sustained by the majority of the garri- son of Mexico, he had not been ably on the 2d to effect | ‘the dissolution and dispersion of (ougress, which he had | decreed since the 19th. ‘The Chamber sat on the 20th, till | three o'clock in the afternoon, at tue residence of Sr. | Guadalupe Cabanos On the saine day, the Senate met | at the residence of Sr Francisco de Olaguibel.

Sr. Lagarda, Chief of the Police, presented | himself at the residence of Sr. Olaguibel. and intimated to the Senators present the order to dixperse; but the sitting | was none the less continued for two hours longer. After | the greater number of the Senators had retired, however, | the police penetrated into the house; and it was then that arrested the three Senators and two Representatives. | Judge Lozano, before whom they were taken, declared | he bad no jurisdiction, and they were set at liberty. | The Orden says these Senators and Representatives were | ec P i On the same day, the Chamber of Representatives met | at the residence of Sr. Francisco Veampo. In this sitting | Sr. Gueman brought a charge against Sr. Cevallos for hav- | ing dissolved Congress. The Chumber formed into aGrand | Jury, and a report was made that an act of impeachment | ought tobe prepared against Sr. Cevallos. This report | was unanimously adopted, and a commission composed of | Srs. Garcia, Aguirre, Ba nd Barros, was named to sere, ‘this dec! tion to Senator, as a high Court of ioe. After this the Chamber proceede | to the election of a | President of the republic, under the authority of Arts. 96 | and 99 of the Constitution; and Sr. Juan Mejica y Usorio, Governor of Puebla, having received the unanimous | vote of nineteen States, was declared duly elected. | Thus far the Mexican journals received by the Manae- lita, by the Vera Cruz papers received by the Luey last | xt, we have accounts of further progress of the aifair. los, according to favorable accounts, had resolved | viously to the proposed impeachment of him, to aban | the supreme authority; but believing himself, and | assured by a large proportion of influential citizens, that | his course had been correct, that he would be supported, | ‘and that for him to abandon his position would be to in- | troduce anarchy, he resolved to resist by all legitimate | means the proceedings of the Congress. He accordingly | issued & long manifesto, explaining these facts, and ex- | pressing his confidence that his fellow-citizens would be supporting the best interests of the republic, im acting as | dhe was assured they would. This manifesto appeared | under the date, “ Mexico, January 23, 1853,’ and is pub- | lished in La Union of Vera Cruz. of the 29th. Inthe | La Union, of the 30th, we find quoted from the Siglo | ALY, the following statement: “sr. Mujica has not ac- | ee the nomination to the Presidency ; the chiefs of the | guard were divided. some wished for adhesion to ‘the plan of Jalisco, and others desired to follow Sr. D. | Marcelino Castanada, who purposed retiring to some other locality to assume the functions of President." He not refuse, it would appear. however, till the Le- | gislature of Puebla declared they had no authority to ad- minister the oath to him. Mujica, we learn from other sources, had, in declining | nomination, offered to support Casi is. They are | , however, said by the Trait d’Unisn to have been | too unpopular to have been able to retain the office. | nominators do not again appear on the scene. Cevallos, it appears, was supported to the full extent of — his expectations, and of the promises held out to him, by | thiefs and by the garrison, and expecially by General Traga—and the revolution against him appears to have been counteracted. Le Union of the 31st says :-—‘Tho revolution has ter- minated, says a paper of authority at the capital. and we, ifnot in quite such absolute terms, are persuaded | ‘that its conclusion is appreaching.’’ And it theu pro- | ceeds to recite the cireumstances attendant on the revo- | lution, te the chief of which we have referred. | re.are others. however, which seem to have created a. great excitement—in particular, the execution of Don | Rufime Rodrigues, the deputy from Tamaulipas, by Sig- | mor Casanova, the Governor of Tampico. Our space will mot admit the account of this occurrence at leugth here, | but we may state that eon geal on which it was done | ‘was that he had endeav: to proclaim Sierra Madre a republic, and to get himself proclaimed President of it; and that he bad attempted to gain his ead by encour: | aging unlimited license and anarchy. Sigoor Uasanova | pd rn Lipper timmy pepo to assume all the | ity of ordering the execution. Union says the loss of Signor Arrilga, as Governor of Vera Cras. is deeply felt in city; but at the same been succeeded by Signor D. Jove de Emparan. ‘The movements of individual 4, cities and ge- nerals, are given in the papers before us, but are deprived | of their chief interest from their want of continuity and iculars as to time. Generally, it would seem that | revolutionists consider they have gained their end, | with the single exception of removing Cevallos; and, | therefore, the expectation of some little period of quiet- | ness may be fulfilled. | Sante Anna, however, having been reported very ill at , his broth la declare the incorrectn: ss of the report, and that he is constantly hoping to return to Mexico. This would seem to indicate that Santa Anva expects further difficulties. Casanova, we see it stated, way to embark at Vera Cruz. | {From the New Orieans Picayune, Feb. 12.] the brig Lucy, Capt.

Wasninaton, Feb. 17, 1853. Favorable Prospect of the New York and Washing- ton Air Line Railroad Bill—Contemplated To!l for Crossing the Susquehanna River—Sentiments of Gen. Pierce on the Subject. Mr. Doty, of Wisconsin, has considerable hope that the Committee on Post Offices and Post Roads will report favorably on his bill for an air line railroad between New York and Washington, which will be a great relief to the travelling community, aud personas having public business at this city, as Mr. School- craft, of Albany, who is one of the committee, is ox- | erting himself to effect so desirable an object. As another reason for the passage of the bill at the earliest possible period, a proposition is before the Legislature of Maryland to lay an additional charge of twenty-eight cents for crossing the bridge on tic Susquehanna, which it is proposed to erect, thas ad- ding to the price of a passage between the two cities, which is already proportionately higher tuan in any other part of the Union. Mr. Doty has met with encouragement very gene- | rally outaide the House ; and among other létters of a favorable nature which he has received, is one which has just been forwarded, expressive of th | views of General Pierce upon the subject. ur years ago last summer,” says the writer, ur neyed from New York wita the President clect. and we had quitea lengthy conversation in rezard to the railroad monopoly in New Jersey; and, at his re yuest, I spent some days in obtaining signatures to a priat- | ed petition he handed me, praying for the very ob- ject arrived at in your bill.

Attempt at Reform—Debate on the Reciprocity Bill Commenced— Opposition from Muine—Refusa’ of the British Government to Negotiate if Coa! ts Excluded—The Coal Question—Vesseds Em ployed in the Lake and West India Trade—Ques- tion at Issue. I was very glad to perceive, in the Heap of Wednesday, a commendatory notice of the atlempt made by Mr. Venable to procure a reconstru those rules of the House which interfere with the legitimate business, and which called dowu upon his devoted head a most inveterate onslaught on the part of other members. Even where a rule is calcu- lated to effect a desirable object, it is totally disre- garded by the Chair, both in the House and when in committee. I allude more particularly to the thirty- first rule, which prescribes that when a member speaks “he shall confine himself tothe question under debate, and avoid personality.” The practice, however, has grown into a precedent, of speaking upon every subject but that under discussion, of which Mr. Venable ayailed himself when the Civil and Diplomatic bill came up, and the debate was closed | without allusion being made to the bill itself by either of the gentlemen who spoke. Yesterday the Reciprocity bill came up for con- | sideration during the morning hour, the debate on which was opened by Mr. Seymour, witha rather brief but comprehensive speech. It will meet with strenuous opposition on the part of the members from Maine, and there is little chance of its becoming a law at this late period of the session; and even should the contrary be the case, it cannot possibly serve as the basis of a treaty, as Ihave the best authority for stating that the British government will not consent to the adoption of a reciprocal free trade, and the surrender of the fisheries, unless coui shall be included in the enumerated articles. It is much to be regreted that Mr. Seymour was not enabled to carry out his liberal and enlightened views as to the subject of reciprocity, when framing his bill, which promises.to defeat the object of the report of the chairman of the Committee on Com- merce—a document that cannot be too widely circu- lated, or too extensively read—owing to the opposi- tion of the coal mining companies, whose apprehen- sions I think I shall be able to show by citing a few facts, are as groundless as they are selfish in the extreme. The quantity of coal imported into the United States from Nova Scotia, during the past year, was 80,000 tons, the greater part of which was eutered at the ports of Boston, Providence, Salem, and other ports in the New England states. Of this quantity nearly one-third was consumed in the manufacture of gas, a purpose for which cape Mer and Maryland coal is entirely unsuited, it bei 23 as impossible to make that article from anthracite or semi-bitumi- nous coal, such as the Cumberland, as it would be from paving stones, but for which that from Pictou is admirably adapted. Neither could Nova Scotia coal, for domestic use, or for steamboat 3, were it admitted free of | duty, come in competition with that from the States alluded to; for it could not be sold as cheaply, and, owing to its rapid combustion, it is not so well | adapted for steam as the anthracite or semi- bituminous coal of this country. In proof of this [ may state that the Collins steamers use Pennsylva- nia and Cumberland coal entirely. Even the British | steamers use these exclusively, notwithstanding Mr. | Cunard is deeply interested in the Nova Scotia coal time considers it fortunate for the coantry that he has | "There is, besides, a large export of coal wing | up from the United States to the ports ae nee Canada on the lakes; and if coal were admitted into Canada free of duty, that province would receive its entire supply of that article from the American ports on the lakes. The tonnage of vessels on Lake Erie and the Western lakes is nearly three hundred thou- sand tons, and the estimated value of vessels em- ployed eight millions of dollars; and if the free navi- gation of the St. Lawrence to the ocean were ob- tained, these vessels, which have to be idle nearly one-half the year, might be profitably employed in a trade with the seaports and elsewhere. On the other hand, were coal admitted free of duty, vessels on the seaboard might be employed in bringing cargoes from Nova Scotia daring the sum- mer months, when they cannot frequent the W: Indies on account of the sickly season, but wii time to engage in the West India trade. Thave already alluded to the difficulty which the omission of coal ill create in the negotiation of auy treaty with the government of the United States; but it is very evident that Nova Scotia would never con- sent to give up the fisheries,and agree to the making of any treaty of reciprocity excluding that article; whose inhabitants would consider it suicidal to eater est | after making two or three voyages, could return in | into a free introduction of cotton, rice and tobacoo— | articles enumerated in the bill reported from the | Committee on Commerce, which that proviace «ves not porsess—and have one of her principal exports excluded. The fact is, the question at present at issue is, whether, in exchange for the free navigation of the St. Lawrence, the right to take and cure fish on the North American coast, the uninterrupted navigation of the St. John, and the introduction of agricultural produce from Canada, thus cheapening one of the necessaries of life to the laboring classes, and the importation of lumber at a low rate of duty, by which the ship builders in this country may be able to com- pete with those of the colonies, certain sections shall retain a monopoly of coal and lumber, to the taani- fest injury and injustice of every other interest of the Union.

Interesting from Sonora, The Mexican schooner Alerta arrived at San Fran- cisco on the 22d ult., in thirty days from Guaymas, with forty-five passengers, among whom was Mr. A. V. H. Ellis, bearer of despatches from the American Cor t Guaymas, directed to the Comman ler-in- Chief of the U.S. Naval forces on this station. The documents, says the Alta Cal:fornia, have an ir of importance, especially when ‘taken in connection with the fact that Mr. Robinson, our consul, was obliged, from fear of Mexican interpretation of the rights of meum and tuum, to take refuge with his whole family and about $500,000 in silver and bullion, on board the Amer'can bark Caroline, which forta- hately was at anchor in the harbor. The A/ta learns from Mr. Ellis that some fifty ladies of the town of Guaymas availed themselves of the same privilege, and were hospitably treated by ] the captain of that vessel. The Caroline weighed her anchor and put off about five miles from G vay- mas, where she remained with everything ready to start ata moment's notice. The report that the Mexican government paid $10,000 to the French under Count de Raonsset Boul- bon is unfounded, the truth being that the American consul, assisted by some Spanish merchants, gave that sum out of their own pockets, in order that com- merce should go on as formerly without any impedi- ment. Mr. Ellis states that so great was the panio that prevailed among the Mexican population of Guaymas, that although the town contains seven thousand inhabitants, not one single person remained in it when they heard the French were coming, whose force numbered about 180 men. He describes the defeat of Blanco as a total route, and says that over sixty Mexicans were killed on that occasion. | Blanco himself is in Guaymas, playing the Napoleon, riding about in his gray overcoat, surrounded by his | %, y staff in full uniform. veral Hungarian officers are attached to his staff, who seem to feel mortified at their position. Mr. Ellis’ documents will doubtiess be delivered to the collector of San Francisco, in the absence of a naval officer on the station. The inha- bitants of Guaymas treated Blanco with the coldest neglect, not even offering him the usual homage of a fandango. Steamboats in the United States.

Watts, on the Sth inst., sie was in charge of Mr. Smith, a passenger, the only navi- gator on board able to act, the captain and officers being sick for weeks, and only four able seamen. The ship was not short of provisions, and had only two Jays wator on board. The ehip is owned in New York; and as soon as the owners were telegraphed, one of thom started im. mediately, and arrived here op Tuesday morning— when arrangements were immediately made to land the soamen, and also the officers that were sick, at the Marine Hospital. He could not obtain per- mission to land any of the passengers. He went in sail boat that very day, to Old Point Comfort, near which the ship was anchored, fifceen miles from this place, ané ascertained from the pilot, Thomas M. Smith, and Dr. Hope, (who had been called on bosrd from Hamp: ten,) that about sixty-five persons had died on board, and there were about fifty-five sick with fever, dysentery, and one case of smallpox. The pilot and doctor bad al: ready rent on board all the fresh provisions necessary. Messrs. Mallory & Co., as consignees of the ship, by or- der of the owner, also semt on board water and provisions for fifteen days. The +hip’s surgeon left the ship on her arrival.

Macrag, U.S. Navy.— The last advices from the South Pacific bring us in- telligence that Lieut, Macrae, U.S. Navy, who had been detailed on ical and geographical ex- pedition by Lieut. Gilliss, U.S, Navy, had safely tra- versed the Andes with all his instruments, and was then at Mendoza, in the Argentine republic. He de- scribes the passage of the Andes as unnsnally stormy for the period of the year, but, like a trae lover of science, he had persevered until the completion of observations to solve the thteresting problem he was sent upon, although it cost the entire suticle of every part ot the body exposed to the air. The condition of the coun’ Tetween Mendog. and Buenos A; was such that he feared he might be »biiged to abs don his instruments at some time on the route. For the sake of science, however, we hope he may be able to travel safely over the pampas, and bring us a rich addition to magnetical and geographical know- ledge-—National Intelligencer, Feb. 19. eee cee “FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. MONEY MARKET. Sunpay, Feb. 20—6 P. M. During the past month or two, there has not been much activity in government or State stocks. Spe- | culation has, from time to time, taken hold of the different fancies, and inflated prices more or less. The movement of the stock market is at present feverish and fluctuating. The tendency of prices is decidedly downward, and it would not surprise us much to see much lower points touched. There is a very general disposition to sell, and buyers are daily getting scarcer and more cautious. We are about entering upon the season when speculation is usually more active than at any other period of the year, It may yet be early to anticipate any decided action, but we do not ce the slizhtest indication of any favorable ch: ge. The elements of specula- tion are abunda’! enough, money is moderately plenty, the rc‘e of interest rules below the legal standard, and the most prominent fancies are concentrated in the hands of small cliques of brokers. Holders are principally in Wall street, and they are not only disposed, but most de- | sirous to give every encouragement to speculation. Efforts have, from time to time, been made to put upon outsiders certain stocks, and for effect prices have been rapidly inflated and extensive operations made. Cliques have been formed for the purpose of making certain stocks active, to attract the attention of outsiders; but all without actual success, although | we must admit it has appeared to the contrary. The ‘and, at its end, may you finds | s > Thos. H. Washing. | dfumizate the ship, aad | He also telegraphed his housein New York | outside public have been more cautious than has been generally supposed. Outsiders have not taken hold of stocks, particularly the fancies, with their usual avidity. They have realized small profits, and withdrawn in time to make themselves secure. The recent turn in the market must have satisfied them that short accounts and quick returns are the only true principles to operate upon in the stock market. During the past four or five weeks the shipments of specie have been comparatively moderate, but the immense importations of foreign manufactures have created considerable apprehension in Wall street among financiers and speculators, relative to the future movements of the precious metals. There is, without doubt, foundation for alarm, and those who have pur- sued throughout a legitimate business, and kept that business within proper and safe limits, will never re- gret so doing. Speculators in fancy stocks may be | fortunate for a time, and their profits may be large, but in nine . cases out of every ten they are losers, and have cause to regret their folly and want of foresight. It is impossible to convince people of this during the prevalence of any speculative mania. Operators are then wild with excitement, and rush headlong into any scheme pre- sented. For a time, all, perhaps, goes well, and croakers are voted bores. The depreciation in prices for stocks which have for several months been great favorites in Wall street, is no more than experienced operators anticipated, and many of those who have been caught upon the turn of the market knew full well they were dealing in securities of no fixed value. They had sufficient confidence in their individual shrewdness to flatter themselves that they would get out in time ; but they were caught napping, and the only alternative is to hold for a re-action and a re- turn of more favorable times. In relation to the fature movements of specie, there is very little doubt but that we shall be large expor- ters. Exchange is gradually stiffening, and from the position of financial affairs on the other side of the Atlantic, we must expect more fluctuations, more sudden changes, in the principal money markets of the world, than we have heretofore experienced. The exportation of specie, so long as our supplies from California continue at the rate already realized, is a great bugbear, which frightens timid people and those who do not well understand the operations of eommerce. The effect is unfavorable, and it is diffi- cult to contend against it. So long as specie goes to Europe at the rate of one or two millions per week, speculation in fancy stocks is entirely out of the ques- tion. Holders may consider themselves fortunate if they can mansge to sustain prices at present points. It is our impression that they will not be able todo so. A heavy shipment of the precious metals, in the face of the enormous existing expansion of the banks, would be a very dangerous movement. It will be recollected, particularly by those who had extended their business operations far beyond proper limits, that the last time the banks contracted so suddenly very serious embarrassments were expe- rienced, and numerous failures took place. The rapid rise in the value of money, and the impossibility at times of obtaining it at any price, compelled many houses, which had previously sustained a high credit» to suspend payment. We know not how soon such a state of things may again come round: In twenty-four hours the money market may get a twist that would trouble speculators ex- ceedingly. The immense quantity of trash in the market in the shape of stock securities, the immense amount of bank paper in circulation, represented to be secured by public stocks, bonds and mortgages, real estate, &c., the immense expansion of public and private credit, the immense indebtedness at home and abroad, the immense amount of foreign capital invested in every species of enterprise in this country—the investment of which, permanently or temporarily, depends entirely upon the position of things in Europe, and the preservation or destruction of confidence—the immense extent of trading, or rather over trading, onjborrowed capital, and, finally, and in fact, the inflated condition of everything con- nected with finance and commerce, warns us to be prepared for some sudden, some serious reaction. Whatever change takes place must be of an unfavor- able character. Everything is apparently progres: ng upon the most substantial, solid basis. Prosperi- ty appears to exist in every department of industry, and it may seem, toa large majority of people di- rectly connected with the operations of finance and trade, premature to anticipate a revolution in the peace and plenty which now reign supreme. But there is danger, and the commercial world is about experiencing one of those spasms which foretell the existence of digease in ail ita ramifications. The total shipment of specie from this port last week was $34,000; previously this year, $1,302,391. Aggregate from January lst to February 19th, both in” clusive, $1,336,391. The steamship Atlantic carried out a much smaller sum than anticipated. The Cu- nard steamer of Wednesday next will make up. Im- porters have now as much as they can do to pay the duties on imports as they arrive, and their remit- tances are therefore limited. But for this we should | see exchange up above current rates, and the out- ward movement of specie more active. The Auditor of the State of Illinois has officially announced that the State indebtedness, presented for payment out of the proceeds of the two mill tax, amounted to $745,046 79 ; the dividend declared was 35 per cent; amount paid was $260,766 42. There Iv ing an application made to the Supreme Court for a mandamus requiring the Anditor to declare a di- ud on the Tiinois Internal Improvement Stook deporited by of the dividend was delayed for sume days. The Butes Mills, in Lewiston, Mich., have declared a dividend of forty per cent. ‘Che House of Representatives of the Miaois Legis lature bas passed the Senate bill in relation to shin- plasters. It provides, (says the Register,) that banking company shall be organized until the sary deposit of stocks is actually made with the A) ditor.
