New Onueans, April 6, 1853, By the arrival of the steamship Daniel Webster at this port we have dates from San Francisco to March 15. The news by this arrival is important, embracing, as it does, the total loss of the Pacific Mail Steamship Com- Ppany’s steamer Tennessee, which ocourred near San Fran- cisco, on the 12th ultimo, by running ashore ina fog. Her passengers, six hundred in number, were all landed safely, and the mails were also saved. The Daniel Webster brings the passengers and specie brought down by the steamer Pacific, which left San Francisco on the 15th of March. There was much anxicty felt for the safety of the Vanderbilt steamship Independence, from which nothing had been heard, tisamgh she was thirty days beyond her time. She hada lasge number of passengers on board. She was to have connected with the steamship Northern Light, from New York, January 20th, and was last seen on the 15th of February off Cape St. Lucas. Hopes wero entertained that she had put into some intermediate port. The steamer Sea Bird had gone in search of her. ‘The town of Weaverville, in Trinity eounty, had been destroyed by fire. The loss was estimated at $100,000. The accounts from the mines were favorable. Gold mines of great value, had been discovered in The bandit Joaquin still continued his depredations. He was hotly pursued on several occasions, but always escaped. There was much rivalry among the clipper ships in discharging and receiving cargoes. The ship Contest, Capt. Brewster, had cleared for New York, on her return, in a little over one hundred from the date of her leaving New York for the outw: passage. THE CALIFORNIA MARKETS. Flour had fluctuated, but closed dull, owing to consid- erable arrivals, at $11 8 $12,50; mess pork was quoted at $38 0 $40; clear pork, $45; hams, $24 a $26; butter, 45c. a 50c ; adamantine candles, 20c. a $0c. ; keg lard, 8lc.; bacon ulders, 28e. abo .

Naw Onxxans, April 7, 1863. ‘The steamship Philadelphia has arrived from Aspin- wall, with two hundred thousand dollars in gold, the Gali- fornia mails, and one hundred and thirty passengers. The news has been anticipated by the Daniel Webster. ‘The P. reports that the Illinois sailed from Aspinwall for New York on the Ist instant, with two and a half millions in gold and six hundred passengera. The Latest from San Juan, &. ARRIVAL OF THE PROMETHEUS SHORT OF COAL— THE SAN JUAN DIFFICULTY SETTLED. Cuartzsron, April 7, 1853. The steamship Prometheus arrived off the bar last night, short of coal, in six days and five hours from San Juan, which port she left at 5 P. M. of the Sist, with 221 passengers, and the specie brought down by the steamer =" which left San Francisco on the morning of the 15th. The passengers by the Prometheus are all well, and have srrived at this port in twenty-two days from San Francisco. ‘The San Juan difficulty, Purser Lord says, is all settled. The Prometheus left at San Juan the U. 8. sloop of war Cyane, all well. ‘The Prometheus passed, on the 4th, the bark Suola, off Moro Castle. Latest from Mexico, SANTA ANNA FORMALLY DECLARRD PRESIDENT. Naw Onmaxs, April 6, 1863. The Delia has dates from the city of Mexico to the 19th ult, from which we learn that President Lombardini, the Secretaries, General Uraga, and Martin Carara, as- sembled on the 17th, opened the ballot boxes, and ceunt- ed the votes for the President of the republic, The re- sult was eighteen for Santa Anna, and five for all others. Then Santa Anna was formally declared Prosident by President Lombardini. Santa Anna will be inaugurated on reaching the capital. RATIFICATION OF THE 8LOO GRANT, ETC. New Onteans, April 7, 1863, Dates from the city of Mexico to the evening of the 21st have been received. Judge Conkling and the Mexi- can Commissioners, Tornal, @astello, and Lanzas, had just signed a tormal treaty between Mexico and the United States, guaranteeing neutrality and the protection of the Sloo transit way across Tehuantepec, and entire security of capital therein invested, The treaty will be ratified by the supreme executive of Mexico.

She spoke, March 10th , bark Indian Queen, for New York; on the 12th, bark Emily Banning, from Philadelphia, all well. Most of the commercial letters for the Rainbow were lot overboard at the moment ot the departure of the vessel. Fever was prevailing extensively among the vessels in the harbor. The room of the agent on board the British steamer Conway, at Savannah, has been entered, and some two doven letters, mailed, and intended to be returned to Kingston, Jamaica, stolen. They were kaown to contain dratta direeted to commercial houses in New York and Philadelphia. Two arrests have been made, but none of the letters were recovered. ‘The Maryland Senate to-day accepted the invitation of the Pennsylvania Legislature to visit Harriaburg.

SENATOR SOULE CONFIRMED AS MINISTER TO SPAIN— REJOICING OF YOUNG AMERICA—THE NEW MAIL ROUTE TO CALIFORNIA VIA VERA CRUZ—ARKAN’ 6AS NOMINATIONS—MR. WISE, ETC. SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE NEW YORK HERALD. Wasmwatox, April 7—10 P. M. An T stated yesterday had been determined upon, Mr. Soule’s nomination as Minister to Spain was sent in to- day, and unanimously confirmed. The mission is one of great dificulty, ealling for the full exercise of his rare talents. But’ if he is as successful as a diplomatist as he has proved himself as a 3enator, the country will have cause to rejoice in the appointment. A large number of petty nominations were also sent in, embracing Registers, Receivers, &. Tunderstand that no further foreign nominations will be sent to the Senate this sossion. Nothing with regard te the individuals to be appointed has yet been deter- mined upon—the subject, as I learn, not having en- gaged the attention of the cabinet. ‘The Senate will unquestionably adjourn on Monday. Tho mail transit route from New York to San Franciseo, via Vera Cruz, about which so much has been said, is, in point of fact, not in operation under the contract, nor can it be till the sanction of Congress is received. ‘The con- tract with Messrs. Ramsey & Cormick, giving four hun- dred and twenty-four thousand dollars a year for semi- monthly serviee from Vera Cruz, by Acapulco, San Diego and Monterey, to San Franciaco and back, contains this clause:—‘‘And it is hereby further expressly understood that this contract Is to have no force or validity until it shall bave reosived the sanction of the Congress of the United States, by the passage of an appropriation tocarry it into effect.” Congress has not acted in the matter, consequently the contract has yet no force or validity. An order was made on the 7th of last month, by Mr. Hubbard, late Postmaster General, authorizing the post- masters ef New York, New Orleans, San Diego, Monterey ‘and San Franciseo, to make up and send a mail by Vera Oruz and Acapulco, containing papers and letters di- rested by the writers to go by that line, when said com- raunication is epen and said contractors are prepared to carry a mail on the terms of the contract. As above stated, the prosent Postmaster General has taken no steps in this matter; but it is evident no action can be had till Congress sanctions it, according to the terms of the contract. The New Orleans and Vera Cruz route is a separate contract, not’ carrying California letters. General Hiram Walbridge hae left town for New York, where he may be expected the last of next week. The following nominations for Arkansas have been sent in:— Ex-Governor Thomas S. Drew, Superintendent of Indian Affairs fur the Southern superintendence a sty James F. Suffold, Reoviver at Batesville. Leo. C. Blackemore, Register, Fayetteville. Oliver Basham, Register, Clarksville, Dewitt C. Yell, Receiver, wile. WE Supa Reeorioc Cana ee R le. W. Milbour, or General. ‘Young America is in an ecstacy at having succeeded in getting its foreign appointment. It repaired in great force to Mr. Soulé's residence, at Mrs. Cly’s, in G street, where several eloquent speeches were made. A report has beon circulated in town to-day of a row in the cabinet, and that Mr. Marcy was going to England. There is no truth in it. The statement telegraphed yesterday to the Associated Press, of swapping in the cabinet, is ridiculous. Mr. Wise has been here, and repudiaties the associa- ton of his name with any foreign mission. X.Y. Z. MR. SOULE GOING TO SPAIN—OTHER FOREIGN AP- POINTMENTS TALKED OF—NO CHANGE IN THE CABINET—THE GARDNER CASE, ETC. FROM 4 REGULAR CORRESPONDENT. ‘Wasninaton, April 7, 1863. The Senate remained in executive session to-day for a fow minutes only. The Hon. Pierre Soulé was nominated and Confirmed Minister to Spain. ‘This was the only thing done of special importance. No nomination of Minister to England has yet been made. Mr. Buchanan has been prominently spoken of hitherto, but Colonel Benten moved in high circles to day, in connection with that mission, The Minister to France is yet undetermined. R. Walker is talked of. = rt cas The change in the cabinet, rumored last night, is con- sidered unfounded. The parties are allon the best of terms.
