The News. The eteamer Indian, now fully due at Quebec with European news to the 21st ult.,bad not made her ap- pearance at River du Loupe up to six o'clock yester day afternoon | We publish this morning copious details of news | from Mexico down to the 2ist ult. The intelligence | is the most importaut that we have received from | that republic fora long time. The demand of Co- | monfort upon Congress for extraordinary power, the | extensive land schemes in Sonora, Durango and | Tehuantepec, the revolutionary movements on the | rontiers, and the general disorganization and dis- ruption of the republic—socially, politically and financially—are fully set forth. ‘The steamship Philadelphia, which left Havana on | the 28th ult., arrived at New Orleans on Saturday | Inst, bringing $450,000 in specie. The bark Clara, | which sailed also from Havana, brought $33,000 in | gold to New Orleans. After the Ist of January next | all vessels bringing cargoes to and taking away mo- j lawses from Cuba must pay duties on tonnage. The | Marquis de Losados, acting British Consul General, had been attacked with yellow fever, but was re- covering. The French war steamer Tonuerre had gone to wea. The bark Zepbyr,of Baltimore, bad been brought into Havana as a slave prize. The Norwegian bark Marie had landed one hundred and seventy-nine coolies. The stock of sugar at Havana and Matanzas was 240,000 boxes on the 25th ult. Don M. Agular, late Deputy Collector of Havana, died suddenly on the 10th ult. The steamship Star of the West, with the California mails and treasure, was not in sight when the Philadelphia left Havana. By the arrival of the bark Azor, at New Bedford, we have news from Payal to the Ist ult, Capt. Ol- ver, one of the passengers in the Azor, thinks there will be a scarcity of provisions, owing principally to the severe gale which had visited the Islands, pros- trating the corn and damaging the crops. On the land of Mr. Dabney, the American Consul, over one hundred large pine trees were torn up by the roots. ‘The Azor brought ninety-two passengers. Of this number eighty-cight are Portaguese, many of whom are en route for California, and others will engage in the whaling service, &c. She also brought acarly 1,000 letters, and 1,600 barrels of vil on freight. By the arrival of the schooner Shannon at this port yesterday, we have received files of Nusau, N. P., papers to the 2lst ult. They contain no news of in- terest. The New York Underwriters’ schooner Ori- ental, Capt. Hoyt, arrived at Nasssu on the 17th ult. | ‘The Hena.y of the 26th ult. published the fact | that the subject of the causes which led to the low | of the steamship Central America was being inves- | tigated before a competent committee in this city. | "The following is a complete list of the names of the } entlemen who compose that tribunal: — Commodore M.

The troops here have received no orders to embark for India, as the forces landed there already, and those on the way thither, are believed to be more than sufficient to quell the East India mutiny, restore order and maintain British power. The island is very Y; crops look well, and the weather is very ble for planters. The market for American produce is nearly exhausted. Cornmeal sells at $6 04 per bbl., and flour at $7 50 8 #10 50. Lumber, provi- sions and breadstuff are in good demand, at high prices. In our maritime columns we give a list of veasels which have been wholly or partially lost, or which have been damaged in their hulls, &c., that have been reported during the month of October. The list comprises 18 steamers, 44 ships, 30 barks, 27 brigs and 70 schooners, making a total of 189 ves- sels, the estimated loss on which is $2,246,600. This ina very large sum for the month of October, which is generally conceded to be a fortunate period of the year for those “who go dgwn to the sea in ships and { do business on the great waters.” The value of foreign goods imported at the port of Boston during the week ending the 30th ult. amounted to $869,283, showing an increase, as com pared with the corresponding week in 1856, of $310,721. The imports for the quarter ending Sept. 80, 1857, were $13,962,939, against $10,555,241 during ‘the corresponding period the year previous, ‘The sales of cotton on Saturday, made in lots, reached about 600 bales, based chiefly on Upiand middlings, at about 12)4c., and middling New Orleans at 18¢. A small ot of strict good middling Texas was reported at 18340. The stock, bowever, was light, and prices somewhat ir regular, Further shipments continued to be made to Liverpool at 6-82d. freight. Flour opened firmer, with an advance of 6c. a 10c., and in some cases 16¢, per bar rel, the rise being chiely on State and Western bransts, with n good demand for export. The market, how closed Jess buoyant and heavy at the impro Wheat was in good demand for export, and Western were frealy made for export, and at 0 prices. Chicago spring ranged from $1 $1 04; In red sold at $1 16, Tennessee white at $159, aut red $1 20. Corn was firmer, with more doing, closin; for western mixed, and some was reported at 75c., while about two cargoes out of order sold at T2c. Pork was more active, with sales of mess at $20 26. Sugars continued firm, with moderate sales at full prices. Coffee was steady and quiet. Freights were stiff at previous quotations, To Liverpool, 30,000 a 40,000 bushels grain were taken in bulk and ship's bags at 74d. a $d, with flour at 2%. 6d., and cheese at 278. To London, oil cake was taken at 303. per ton, and flour at 2s. 4, Havre—Cotton and bone were at age. Rice and pot ashes at $9, and pearl do. $8. ‘The Present Financial Revulsion and the Im- pending Political Revolution. In illustration of the political workings of this financial revulsion, we spread before our | readers this morning @ chapter of interest- ing and very significant extracts from the politi- cal newspaper press of the country. It will be remarked, however, that these extracts are chiefly from the old line whig press, and that they strongly foreshadow the miraculous resur- rection of the old whig party and the old whig issues—bank and tariff—upon which was fought the tremendous, protracted and decisive war between Gen. Jackson and Henry Clay. But the most suggestive of all these news paper commentaries upon the political ten- dencies of the times is that from the National Fra, the central organ at Washington of the abolition wing of the republican camp. The Pra is evidently alarmed at the prevailing signs of the times. It has observed the univer- sal decline in the nigger agitation and the cor- responding Josses to the great Northern repub- lican party during the present year, and is struggling desperately to keep up a hue and cry, no longer available, against the “slave oligarchy.” The public mind, the thoughts, inquiries, fears and expectations of the masses of the people of all sections are now involved in the general discussion of the ways and means of relief from the financial and com- mercial evils of the day, and within the next six months we may expect to witness the prac- tical commencement of a reconstruction of our national parties upon this or that federal policy in reference tothe banks, the currency, the tariff and the bankrupt question. Assuming that the Kansas imbroglio will be formally and finally disposed of to the satisfac- tion of the country before the adjournment of the next session of Congress, in the admission of Kansas as a free State, according to the law of popular sovereignty, the last practicn) issue of the n ey agitation will then be settled and vet aside. In the interval we anticip a de perate effort from the Southern ultras to over- turn the administration, dissolve the Union, and set the world in @ blaze of fire; but the mani- fest destiny of the disputed territory and the justice of the policy of Mr. Buchanan are so clear that we foar neither the destruction of the administration, nor the dissolution of the Union, nor @ universal conflagration, from the honest and Jawful admission into the Union of Kansas asa free State, The Kansas iseue, then, being thus satisfac- torily disposed of and set aside, the new and practical issues in regard to the financial and commercial duties of the government will come round in bold relief. In thie view al horizon, our readers will have remarked the wise caution and deliberation which have characterized, thus far, the move- ments of the Cabinet in reference to the preser- vation of the solvency of the federal treasury, and the restoration of harmony and prosperity in our commercial and financial affairs, Aad it is well that the administration should act upon these subjects carefully and cautiously; for the reconstruction of parties for 1860, and the re. sults of the election for the successor to Mr. Buchanan, will depend very materially upoa the financial and commercial policy which his administration may pursue. It ix probable that the President, in his mos- sage to Congress, adhering to the good old maxim that “caution is the parent of safely,” will limit hie financial and commercial recom. mendationain cpnnection with the crisis to the necessary r hmente in the public expendi- tures required to bring the actual expensos of the treasury within the margin of its character. But should the President deem it moet judicious to confine his suggestions to the two houses, in December, within this contracted circle, the debates of Congress will speedily de- velope a ceries of new financial and commercial propoeitions of a far more comprehensive cha- racter than those solely directed to the solven- ey of the treasury. Thus, before the end of the approachiny long session, we shall, mosi likely, between two pretty well defined ‘partice in Congress, have the question of a protey tariff, the bank « mn, the question of a mo dificatton offth »Treamry ayetem inte thing like a positive bank regulation question of a general Bankrupt law in fall ve blast. And, once in full blast, these jsenow wil! gather volume and strength, aa between twr great parties, in Congress and throughout the rnin <emenepmenenmmeommnrmamtniaaninioans NEW YORK HERALD, country, unti) 1860; for, considering the mate- r of the present Congress ‘aad the chaaces for (he nexi, we can hardly expect the Congres- sional remedies for this deep seated revulsion to be pertected before the next Presidential campaign. Such are the political tendencies of this financial break-down of 1857. Whether the result will be a political revulsion, eweep- ing the country like a tornado, as in 1840, or a steady adhesion of.the people to the policy of Mr. Buchanan’s administration, will depend upon that policy itself. Hence the wisdom of caution and deliberation. The finan- cial and commercial disorders of twenty years’ accumulation are not to be remedied ina day, nor ina year. But for all this, the people will expect much of the government, and the gov- ernment has the power and can command the ways and means for affording much of positive and permanent relief to all the business embar- rassments of the country. It was the policy of Martin Van Buren to separate and isolate the interests of the government from the interests of the people, under the heavy shinplaster pres- sure of 1837, Let Mr. Buchanan beware of fol- lowing too closely his example, and let him take a new departure, financially and commer- cially, and the prestige of his administration may be crowned with victory in 1860, Other- wite the campaign of 1860 may be another car- nival like that of 1840, Such are the signs of the times. ‘ ‘The News from Mextco—Distracted Condition of that Republic. We devote a large portion of our space to-day to the important news from Mexico, which will be found in the letters of our correspondents and our translations, published in another column. It will be seen that the results we prognosti cated Fome months since as sure to follow such a constitution as Mexico adopted, are fast de- veloping themselves. The first question that the single Chamber of the Mexican Congress has to discuss is the creation of a dictatorship, und though it had already been & month in session, it had done nothing but demonstrate that the present government, nor any of the factions, has a working majority in that body, and bringing up the names of other aspirants for the supreme power. It is evident, also, that the members are possessed with a very red republican spirit, and that there is a strong disposition among them to imitate the old French revolutionary Assembly, and endeavor to govern the deliberations of the body by the resolutions adopted in secret by faction. That dictatorial power will be conferred upon some one is most probable, but upon whom is very doubtful. What game Comonfort is play- ing ie uncertain, but he has lost ground in the popular mind, and it is said that the army is not friendly to him, as its pay and rations have not been regular ander his rule. It will be seen that he has adopted several very impor- tant measures, which will not fail to place him under the suspicion of speculation. He has made a contract, to which several Amcricans are said to be parties, for the survey and plot- ting of all the public lands in the States of So- nora and Sinaloa, and the Territories of Lower California and Tehuantepec, by which the con- tractors are to receive one-third of the lands to be surveyed, amounting probably to many mil- lions of acres, for their labor and expenses; and in bis message he announces that he is about making @ similar contract in regard to the pub- lic lands in the States of Chihuahua, Durango, ‘Tamaulipas and Tabasco. It is also said that he has made another contract with certain American bankers to raise & loan on # lottery scheme. While this contest for power and plunder is going on in the capital of the republic, the country itself isa prey to the most frightful digorders. In Yucatan the Indians are fast driving out the whites and mixed races; in the South a war is raging between the Pintos, un- der Alvarez, who gives nominal heed only to the government, and those native races who wish to throw it off altogether. In Chihuahua, Sonora, Durango, and even further south, the civilized inhabitants are rapidly retiring before the incursions of the savage Apaches and other tribes. The central government, engaged in the venal contests that surround it, can do no- thing to prevent or mend this state of things, and its name is only used by one or other of the local parties in their petty struggles for the spoils as may suit their interests. It is these partics that invite and will continue to invite our filibusters, a8 will be seen by the letter of our correspondent at Mazatlan, which shows that Crabbe's foray from California was really invited aud contracted for by Peequeira, who executed hin ‘There is point in the news which demands the prompt attention of our own government. The enterprise of our ports on the Pacific is already causing a trade with the Western coast of Mexico to spring up, and the Custom Honse and military officers of those regions find abundant opportanitics and pretences to seize the vessels and confiscate them and their car- goes, in order to supply their empty treasuries, This is the old game that was so loag practised upon our commerce with the Gulf ports of that republic, and which fiually led to the war with it. If the government at Washingtoa docs not take some steps to prevent this constant repeti- tion of outrages upon American citizens, it may be assured the filibusters will, The time is pro- pitious for a grand filibuster foray upon Mexico, either from California or from the Atlantic and Gulf States, and there is an abundance of ua- employed men ready for the start. An oppor- tunity and o leader of some reputation are all that is wanted. We advise the goverament to look evell to the state of our affairs on the west coast of Mexico. Bank Notes € LLED AND Stocks Strwen- pexep.—We bave caused inquiries to be made at the office of the Bank Superintendent at Al- Dany as to the amount of circulating notes re- cently caiicelled in that department and of stocks surrendered. The reply of that official is, that from the firet of September to the Ith of October inclusive, t Hay on which the banks eurpended epecie payment, the amount of notes of State banks returned aod cancelled was $5,321,108. The stocks eurrendered ia exchange for these bank notes amounted to $3,656,957, and the bonds and mortgages to $752,262—the total amount of securities thus surrendered being 24,989,219. We sappose that’the apparent dis- crepancy between the amount of notes cancelled ind the amount of securities surrendered may vrise from the fact that the stocks are not cal- culated at their nominal value—at which they wore deposited —but at their market valae at he time of surrender. Since the suspension of pecie payments there haa been very little de and for the surrander of securities, probably oot over one or two handred thousand dotlars. MONDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1857. ‘The Election To-Morrow. _ ‘The election which comes off to-morrow pro- | sents none of the striking features of some of our late electoral contests, It will be simply a selection of certain individuals to fill certain State offices, with purely clerical functions; of & few Judges and a Justice of the Court of Appeals; of a new Assembly and a new State Senate. It isnot obvious that the public is deeply concerned,” one way or the other, in the contest for the State offices; nor has much excitement been created by the struggle be- tween the several candidates for judicial honors, except for the Court of Appeals, With regard to this branch of the contest, with this simple ex- ception, the public mind is in a state of calm re- pose, not to say absolute indifference: no one candidate possessing sufficiently paramount claims, or evincing #o decided a superiority to his rivals ns to awaken any very violent sym- pathy in his behalf, and the interests at stake being in them- selves not worth much distress of mind. The contest for the State Legislature is of rather more consequence. Of late years the Logislature has exercised powers very nearly approaching to absolute sovereignty; one only needs to recall the deeds of the Legislature of last year to realize the power of that body for mischief. This winter, especially, the finan- cial condition of the State is likely to afford opportunities for a vast amount of legislation which may be highly beneficial, or incaleulably injurious, according to the character, ability and integrity of its framers, It may be in the power of the State Legislature to help us out of our present financial embarrassments and to preclude the prospect of their recurrence; it certainly will be in the power of that body to do infinite misekief by aggravating the pending troubles, and protracting the struggie in which teade is now writhing. Itcannot therefore be eaid that any one has a right to feel indifference as to the composition of the Legislature. The last time we elected State officers and legislators the issue on which the rival candi- dates met the country was Kansas free or Kan- sas slave. Practically, the advocates of Kansas slave won the victory; though defeated in this and other States, Mr. Buchanan was elected President; and itgnight have been rationally expected that, having fought the battle out fair- ly, and having won it, his friends would have claimed the spoils of victory and would have firmly established slavery in Kansas. Instead of this, the fairest, most honorable and above- board policy has been pursued by the dominant party*toward Kansas; with so striking a result that Kansas is now as firmly secured to freedom as New York, and even Senator Douglas de- nounces further efforts to introduce slavery into the Territory, and Robert J. Walker, by pro- clamation, certifies (he triumph of the free State party. This being the state of affairs, the issue of Kansas free and Kansas slave has been set- tled, and can no longer enter into any electoral contest. There is no longer any issue for the opponents and advocates of slavery to fight about. Erpecially in this State, where the slavery question has always been one of re- mote interest, has it now completely died out, and secks a decent burial at some good man’s hands. There therefore remains no issue for us to fight the November battle upon but our own tate issues. We mu@t apply the test of State principles and questions of State policy to the candidates who solicit our votes; and upon these, and these alone can the selection of can- didates be rationally based. Happily these are few and clear. Without discussing the rival merits of any of the candi- dates, or advancing any arguments in favor of this or that party or ticket, we may say em- phatically that, whoever are the right men to choose, the republicans are not the right men. They have been fully tried, and their incapacity to legislate for the State has been abundantly proved. Last year, when they controlled the Legislature, they disgraced the statute book with a series of acts which contain the germ of the ruin of all democratic institutions, and a restoration of the old colonial system of govern- ment by Commissioners “sent from afar to cat up the people's substance.” Some of these acts have never been carried into effect, 0 impracticable and outrageous were they found on examina- tion, Others are being held over, and will doubtless be repealed this winter. The Police act, the most outrageous violation of the cardi- nal principle of democratic government ever at- tempted since the organization of the confede- racy, bad happily secured the favor of the Judges of the Court of Appeals before it be- came a Jaw, and it bas been duly executed; with what happy effects the daily reports of robberies and murders and the ludicrous imbeeility of the Board of Commissioners are there to show. If these acts had been mere blunders, one could have forgiven them. Had they been mere par- ty mancuvres for honest party purposes, one might have tried to pass them over, But they were low, knavish tricks to build up the repub- lican party in this State with the money and the patronage of the city of New York—base, mean, dishonest, reprobate dodges to get our money for hungry politicians: and no maa who re- «pects himself either in city or in country will vote for any member of the party which gave them birth. ‘There is no principle. at all involved in this election that can compare in point of impor- tance with the question of extravagance or ceonomy in our State finances. How the republicans have managed these, we showed the other day in the comments we made on John Van Buren’s speech at Tammany Hall. One hundred and twenty-five per cent, we show- ed, have our State taxes increased during the part year, The State taxes thie year are 125 per cent higher than they were last year; the increase being the work of the republicans and their profit. If there be any question involved in the contest to-morrow of anything like the importance —to the citizen, the farmer and the mechanic—of this increase of one hundred and | tweuly-five per cent in the taxes which we pay, } we are not aware of it. And we are satisfied there ie none. In any times an increase of 125 percent in the taxes in asingle year, to sup- port the most cortupt party ever formed in the country, would be an alarming feature; at the present time, when financial distress surrounds na, all are retrenching, aad many are in abso- lute want, to more than double the eum the State takes from us, is positively outrageous. We hope therefore that while the people se- leet the beet men among the candidates to be members of the Legislature, they will take care not to restore to power the party which has ehown eo infamous a disregard of the principles ofdemocratic government, aud which has so little decency, #0 little financial skill, and so little probity as to increase onr taxes in one year ONE BUNDRED AND TWENTY-FIVE PER CENT. bas equablle bas at last been reduced to two techniculities or abstractions, First, the power of Governor Walker in canvassing the votes for the Legislature to reject that barefaced | Oxford swindle of 1,628 names which were not votes; and secondly, the power of the Kansas pro-slavery Constitutional Convention to send up their State constitution to Congress without referring it toa vote of the people. Upon the first proposition, the act of Governor Walker, whatever may be done with him, is beyond remedy. That Oxford fraud having been cast out, the free State party have the Territorial Legislature, and they will use it to establish their own policy—we may rest assured of that. We dare say, too, that the administration will not have either Walker or Stanton skinned alive for casting out that most outrageous Oxford trick of the secessionist border ruf- fians. We believe, in short, that neither Walker nor Stanton will be recalled or superseded by the Cabinet council to-day. With regard to the Inet desperate trick of the fire-eaters, that of sending up to Congress a pro-lavery State cénstitution for Kansas, with- ont referring it to the people, we are quite sure that, should the trick be tried, it will fail. We expect the trick to be tried, anfl we are confi- dent that any such State constitution for Kan- saa, coming before Congress for ratification, in advance of a ratification by the people of Kansas, will be sent back again to Kansas. That is all. Substantially, the Kansas question is settled. She is certain to come into the Union as a free State. That fact is fixed be- yond all doubt by the lute Terrilorial elections, and neither the conduct of Governor Walker nor the trick of dodging the Kansas people with a pro-rlavery constitution will help the cause of the fire-eaters. They have lost the prize, and they must surrender it. No help for it now. Kansas, practically, is used up; for her destiny is determined. Iumense Inrivx or Specue.—The amount of specie that has flowed into this city, New Or- leans and St. Louis since the commencement of the financial panic, and that has remained in the country, is enormous, beyond all former precedent. We have had a list of the arrivals of specie within the month of October com- piled from the files of the Heratp, showing the aggregate amount to be within a fraction of seven anda half millions of dollars. Of that sum no less than $5,406,901 were received in this city and entered into the specie resources of the banks and the community. The follow- ing table gives the figures in detail:— Reczuet or Sexcms iv New York, Naw OrtRaNs anv St. Lovis FOR THK MoNTH OF OcTonER, 1857.

Out of these monthly cash receipts of seven and a half mil- lions of dollars we have not actually sent out of the country more than a mere trifle—say two or three hundred thousand dollars—so that the first of November sees it richer by at least seven millions of dollars in specie than we were on the first of October. This may seem extraordinary in view of the depression in trade, but the fact is nevertheless so. Though times are hard d_specie is plenty. Pvrric -AmvskMENTS—Errxcts or THE Panto, —Our city theatres have passed through a month of the severest financial pressure, and the closing of at least two houses was believed to be a foregone conclusion, At the last Opera season the receipts on one or two nights touched very low figures, when the managers stopped proceedings. Burton’s and the Broadway theatre have had attractions which, in flash times, would have packed those houses on every night. Mise Cushman has played a surprisingly good engagement under the circumstances, and the ballet at the Broadway has been well patro- nised; but such is the expense attendant upon such attractions that they cannot be profitable to the manager. If we look at the other thea- tres, we shall find Wallack’s and Laura Keene's almost empty during two weeks. The expenses were reduced as far as possible, and all the comedians put on serious short allowances of salary. The blow was the heavier, because the month of October is generally the beat season for the theatres, and the managers rely upon a fall surplus to carry them over the dry times in mid winter. They cannot, like the dry goods men, “close out” their stock of actors, actresses, dresses, ecenery and properties “ata great re- duction below the cost of importation,” because those articles, however pretty they may be, are not values in any sense of the term. The public here does not look upon the drama as an art to be cultivated and sustained; but the theatre is made a lounging place to pase an idle hour, or to “get in out of the rain,” as Jules Janin said when he went to the Frangaia When the public has a good deal of money it showers gold on the theatres. When the public is obliged to wear its old clothes, the theatres get nothing. Within the past week, however, we are glad to say that things look a little better. Niblo has put on o little more steam, and has very good audiences. The Thalberg and Vieuxtemps concert on Friday drew a crowded audienco—a hopeful sign for the Opera season, which be- gins this evening. The business has also im- proved a little at Laura Keene's and Wallack’s, while everybody has of course seen Miss Cush- man’s Lady Macbeth. The ballet at the Broad- way closes with this week, and will doubtless draw better than ever, At the Bowery and the other places of amusement on the east side of the city we hear that the nightly attendance in®teases. The German theatres and the colored Native American Opera receive, com- paratively, more patronage then any regular theatre. They are cheap amusements for the people, and patronized by the people. We have in New York rather too many first class theatres, #0 callad, and the business has been like everything else—somewhat overdone. There will be this evening no less than eleven theatres, of all grades, open in this city—from the aristocratic Academy down to the domo- - a {Basses axp me Apvanisravrion.—The Kan- | eratic Bowety: The gross expenses of thoae houses amoums © five thousand dollar ger night, at east; Aud it is plain to see that, tn these times, some of tiem must find the balance on the wrong side of the eaeh book, ‘The present week will be quite an intercating one at the theatree, The indefatigable Ull- man—who has been, ffke Mr. Micawher, “ lay- ing back for a spring’’—-is in the fickd again, like a giant refreshed, and opens the Academy with a grand flourish. All the managers, ea- couraged by the prospects of Inst week, pat forth their best programmes, and hoping for the adoption of Mr. Charles Mathews’ philose- phy, that it is cheaper to go to the theatre than it is to stay away. It is, certainly, better thaa lounging in the barrooms, gambling hells and other disreputable places with which the city abounds. : THE LATEST NEWS.

Walker, of Kansas, a few days ago, nddressedge letter to tho President, asking for leave of absence for & month. The President bas granted his request, and be was to leave on the first of November for Washington. ‘Be will not be removed, neither will he resign. His name will be sent into the Senate, and let them reject him if they dare. The enemies of the administration will then have to show their hands. A report reached here to-ag that both Walker and Stanton had been forcibly expotlet from the Territory. Nothing has been received by the administration to confirm the report, and it is not goneraliy believed, ‘The President has not made the declaration imputed to him by a New York paper, that he would not have any- thing to do with the Tehuantepec grant negotiated by La Sere and company. He has expreased regret that its coa- ditions have not been as favorable as he anticipated. The terms would haye been much better had Mr. Forsyuy obeyed the instructions of owr government to aid those gentlemen in procuring the grant. Mr. Forsyth threw every possible obstacle in their way with the Moxicam authorities and the press. Mr. Benjamin has in his pos- session the original draft of violent attacks upon the new grant published in Mexican journals, in the handwriting of Mr. Fearn, Secretary of Legation. There are some rich developements in reference to this matter which will shortly be made, ‘On the trial of Captain Latimer, a short timo since, Com- mander Ritchie swore that he (Ritchie) was First Lieutea- ant on board the schooner Grampus, and Captain Hollins officer of the deck when the boom of that vessel was car- ried away while rounding to, off San Lorenzo. Yesterday Captain Hollins swore that Commander Ritchie was not the First Lieutenant of the Grampus at that time, thus im- peaching the latter's veracity, Captain Latimer now ‘swears he was, aud two members of the Court, Captaina Storer and Stringham, repaired to the Navy Department te examine the log of the Grampus, which, to their astonish ment, they found mutilated, und all that portion referring te this part of the cruise of the Grampus torn out and mias- ing.

This day has passed without dis- urbance, though the streets in the vicinity of the Mayor's «fice and Barnum’s Hotel were crowded all theafternoen. ‘Thousands were standing about awaiting the result of the negotiations. Wasmeron, Nov. 1, 1857. Another despatch from Richmond confirms the report of a loan of three thousand muskets by Governor Wise te Governor Ligon, of Maryland.
