Governor Mendez and Mr. Greer—The Latter Still Alive—Anticipated Revolt at Leon—Arrest of the Conspirators—The Leaders of the Move- ment and their Intentions—Position of the Gra- wadian Director—Causes of Popular Discontent —Fhe Nicaragua Press. ‘My last to you was of October 24th, from this place. I have to correct an error in that letter, in whieh I notified you of Mr. Greer’s death. ‘The report that the wounds he had received in the gutragecus and inhuman attack upon him by Gov. Mendez and his minions, at Virgin Bay, had proved mortal, came to me so well authenticated, that, be- Meving it myself, I had no hesitation in communica: ‘fing it to you. I am most happy, however, in being able to correct it. Mr. Greer still livea to reap, I hope, a just vengeance against his persecutors, and to demand justice for this outrage against the rights of oar citizens. Quiet, it seems, cannot be the portion of these Hispano-American States. The elements of insub- srdination and discord appear to be as irradicable as wonstitutional. On the third of this month, the wovernment at Managua were apprised by some se ret agent, that a revolution was on foot in the city of Leon, la‘e the capital of Nicaragua, and that the plans of the revolutionary party had been so far ma- | fured as to have arranged that simultaneorsly with the surprise of the Cuartel, or Barracks of Leon, the Supreme Director-General Chamorro, and hisseveral ministers of State, should be seized and assassinated im Managua, the present capital. The government’ allowed their plans so to mature as to leave 29 doubt as to the origimators, chiefs, actors, and accomplices im the movement; and finally, on the 15th inst., sur- i them just as they were ready to strike the a Many of your readers will be surprised to leara that the chief mover of this revolutionary scheme ‘was a gentleman possessed of probably the first ta- Jent in Nicaragua. He was sent, in 1844, to France 2s Minister from this republic; and afterwards, in 1848, when San Juan fell under the British protecto wate, to England and the United States. His very mble correspondence-with Lord Palmerston on the sur ito question, you will! remember, was before ate. Honduras lately sent him a commission as her Minister to Nicaragua. He received it in Leon, and wished the government at Managna to re- ceive him without his presentation at that capital, which, of course, they very properly refused. bad lately been elected a member of the Constituen’ Assembiy, which will meet at Managua, in Decem- ber, to revise and remodel the constitution of the re iblic. Another no less celebrated revolutionist is r José (Guerrero, late supreme director of the Btate. These two have escaped, it is thoaght, into } Hondoras. | Onthe morning Of the 18th, the guard sent to Leon re‘urned to Managua, having in their eharge ome of the principal of the faction. Among them are Francisco Diez Zavato, Manuel Cisnero, Dr. Maximo Jeres, audi Colonel Pineda. The last-named individual was t have directed the military part of Ahe operations They wer? brought into the capital between two files of ‘soldiers, riding on mules, which were led by their halter. The design was to over- Shrow the present government, in order that the Jeader should assume the reins himself. Mr. Marcoleta’s continuance in the post of Nica- gaguan Envoy, which he fills with so much credit to , honor to Nicaragua, and usefulness to the United States, has, no doubt, chagrined him, and his active mind required some vent. The aflair has, of e@ourse, caured intense excitement thronghcut the | Btate, and is probably merely momentarily hashed On the 2let, General Chamorro, the Director, wagi a circular address to the peo of the State, aesuring them thet the revolutionary spark had been mmothered; and, while he promised that no effort whoald be spared to bring to justive the offenders, he declared, in firm but unmistukeable, indeed, in cha- racteristic language, his intent ons for the fatare. It will be a dangerous eriment for bim who tries to | oust the Granadisn Director from his presidentia’ ebair. Hovest he is, beyond ali q i he has always proved himevlf; and, if and left to his own go0d judgment, w bis country during bis pri t term of | The main cause of cifficulties in Nicaragua, and | wme which will probably long continue a stum- block to her tranquility and progress, is nd establiched and embittered rivalry be- ‘teween the two extremes of the State, Leon and | Granada. This is not lessened now by the fact that the chief magistrate is a Granadian, and the seat of government removed from Leon to Ma- , Mear to Granada. Altogether, the political state of the country is a most remarkable one. Oae Would suppose that in a constitutional republic, where the officers of State, &c, are elected, there ‘would be some discussion of political subjects, some ef thore inoffensive outbursts of posular feeling which, in our own country, while they agitate, make the political elemests aruund us. But here is nothirg of this. I have not met, since my wesidence in this country, any two who differed on Political subjects, and I certainly uever heard one against the government or powers that be, rh, Co a have seen, revolution is ripe through. sat the lan The preas is constitatiovally free, but while revo- Jation shows the fact of discontentment, the sileare of the press, their fear to express fearlessly aad boldly the causes and the remedies, tel's too cenclu- sively that there is a power behind the throne, ao influence beyond the constitution, which it dare not grapple with. Tbe mail from the other States has not yet arrived. When it does I will give you what of interest there may be. Until then I am very cordially, Rancugro.

Tho beara | availed themselves of the depreciation to take in some of their shorts. The small margin is, in these unsettled times, worth secu: ‘he market appears to have no strength in it, and the prospect is decidedly im favor of operaters for a decline, At the first board, to-day, Dele: | ware and Hudson fell off 3; per cont; Ne Jersey F:ani- linite Co, ; Canton On, J; Nicaragua, New Yor, M. We notices sale of Potoai Lead Oo. at 544 per cent. This is one of the mining companies which we hear very little about, but that lit- tle shows that it isseoond to no ether in the country. At the second board, a further decline was realised. Pennsylvania Coal fell off 3; per cont; New Jersey Zinc, yj Harlem, %; Reading Railroad, . At the olose, the tendency was downward, The demand to-day for sterling exchange was some what larger than usual, and drawers were a little firmer in rates.

As Christmas and New Year’s day this year come on Sunday, and as it has been the practice in former years among the banks of this city to clore on the Monday fol lowing, it has suggested that the committee should recommend 9 similar course this year. The 1g House will. therefore, be closed on Monday, the 26th inst., aod on Monday, 2d January next. On similar occasions in former years, the banks have given notice that notes coming due on the Mondays,referred to, would be paya- ble cn the Satur previous, And where notes were not paid on that day they were given to the notary with the express understanding that no fees would be where the parties were ready to meet them, The receipta of the Norwich and Worcester Railroad Company, during the month of November, 1853, amount: e¢ to $28,447 16, against $21,746 79 for the same month in 1862, showing an Increase of $6,700 37 in November, 1853, ‘The earnings of the Macon and Western Railroad Com pany for November, 1853, were :-— Passengers 6 Mat?, «$10,122 99 TON 40 Freight. 21 14}905 17 Molaleccs vassvatais semeareys - $25,078 36 Corresponding month last year... 97,017 38 Dette oh ei a aac pees . 914 02 ‘The Niogara, Citizens’, National, Long Island, Howard, New York Fire and Marine, and Fireman’s Insurance Companies lost $3,600 cach by the burning of Monnot’s Hotel at Fairfield.

At this time in the year, when the importations for the spring trade generally are large, and graatly in excess of the ex- ports, The shipments of merchandiee from thia port compose only about two-thirds of the aggregate value, the other third being in specie, This has preserved a better balance of trade, and served to keep exchange at pretty low points. The supply of bills on the market has not, however, checked materially the exportation of the Precious metals, in consequence of the necessity existing on the other side of the Atlantic, for remittances of coia and ballion from this side. It is not money that is so much wanted throughout Europe, There is plenty of credit ard full confidence in the future, but specie must be forthcoming to liquidate balances, and it must be had at any racrifice. The current of coin continues to set strongly from Londen to the Continent, and the only fource of supply to fill the vacuum, is the United States. Fortunately we have itand can‘spare it, for, in aiding and protecting the beat customer and consumer of our great stazle products, we make the best use of our metallic resources. A few exportations cf specie from this coun try, is usually attended with great local advantages.
