REVOLUTIONARY MOVEMENTS IN SPAIN, Failure of Another Attempt to Laanch the Leviathan, &e., &o. ‘The royal mail steamship America, from Liverpool at 11 clock on the morning of the 2st ult., arrived at Halifax at 6 o'clock yesterday morning. The America sailed from &e., Halifax for Boston at 9:30 A. M. yesterday. Weather eloudy and calm. The intelligence from Europe is three days later than that by the Fulton and Kangaroo. "The America brings about twenty-five thousand pounds merling in specie. ‘The news by this arrival, financially and commercially speaking, is highly important and interesting. Several heavy failures had occurred in England since the departure of the Fulton, besides a few of minor ‘importance. In the Continental markets affairs were improving. ‘The political news is of but little importance. It is announced that the British government has con- cluded an agreement with the Austrian authorities, that if ‘the latter will lay down a sub-marine telegraph line between Ragusa and Alexandria the English government ‘will use that and no other in its communications with India, and will complete the telegraph from Suez to Kur- rachee or Bombay. The London Times denounces the bargain. The Liverpool cotton market early in thé week exbi- Dited considerable buoyancy and a tendency towards an advance, which, however, was lost on Tuesday, the market closing on that day ag the prices quoted per Africa, Subsequently the market became very heavy and inactive, the sales of the three days onding Friday reaching only about 6,500 bales, and the market closing dull at prices about 344. a 4. per Ib. lower than on the previous Friday. ‘The ales of the week were 20,000 bales. ‘Tho Liverpool breadstuffs market was very dull, and prices of all descriptions had further slightly declined. ‘Tho Liverpool provision market was dull, and prices show a downward tendency. ‘The recently reported advance in sugar had been lost, ‘and prices closed at about the rates current at the de- partare of the Africa. ‘The advices from Manchester and the manufacturing Aistricte generally were gloomy. Money was in active demand, but without any change im rates. Console closed for money at 893¢ a 90. ‘The Coilins steamship Baltic arrived out at 10:30 on the morning of the 18th. ‘The steamship Jason, from New York bound for South- ‘ampton, put into Queenstown on tho 18th, short of coal, THE FINANCIAL PANIC, ‘The Affairs of the House of George Peabod, and Company, &. ‘i ‘The money pressure continued without rign of dimina- tion, although a somewhat better feeling had sprung up. Mosars. George Peabody & Co., one of the most eminen American houses in London, became temporarily ‘embarrassed, but received such prompt aid from the bank—understood to be the amount of nearly a million sterling—that ail difficulties were removed. Their ability 4 go on, with the assistance exteaded them, was unques. toned. The London Times of the 19th ult. remarks that it waderstood that the application which has been made with- im the last few days by a leading American house, to the Bank of England for a large advance on securities furnished from the private resources of the firm, has Deen most satisfactorily met, and that all the accommoda- ‘tion required will be fully gravted. According to rumor, ‘the requirements of the firm im quostion (one of the most ‘eminent in the American trade) were nearly a million sterling, and according to the Daily News, the assistance received from the bank, after a long deliberation of the direetors, will, it is expocted, enavie he firm promptly to comply with the conditions upon which the advances ‘were made. ‘The London Times of the 20th says, we have to confirm the statement made yesterday, that the advance required ‘upon ample securities by an important American house would be fully granted. The Daily Newe City Article, of Friday evening, says: — ‘The funds, after obtaining a rise of 4 per cent higher, cloved 44 per cent higher than yesterday, Upon the whole the feeling in the money market wag to da) calmer and more satisfactory. negotiations for al Assistance to a great and wealthy American house ‘with liabilities estimated at more than two millions, were ‘to-day satisfactorily concluded. The temporary embar. raraments of the — were solely face yon the imporsibility ae remittances frum some of cae trv Downes America. Provided that no fresh im ES cases of embarrasement oveur there is a disposi. to hope that affairs will become more cheerful. ‘We have received the following despatch, addrossed to ‘an intimate friend here of Messrs. Peabody & Oo., of Lon- bon Haurax, N. 8., Doo. 2-014 P.M. ‘We cannot more information than that contained fm the despatch already transmitted, which embraces everything contained in the London Jimes. ‘The name of Peabody i¢ vot mentioned ip the mew spapere, but the anni ment American firm referred to is that of George Peaborly & Oo. Is ls endersicod that the Bask of England bas prompt- responded to their call and afforded them assistance to extent of one million sterling. ‘The London Glote of Friday, says>— There is now a much qhieter feeling in city circles, and the absence of further commercial failures seems to have created increased confidence. Most persons ape inclined to believe that the worst is over, and that although an occasional disaster may occur, those mercantile firms whe found themsolves embarrassed will bo enabled through the assistance of friends to extricate themselves. The fact that a large establishment connected with the United States has been aesisted by the bank, which has ted a ious failure, appears to have produced much satisfac- won. MEETING IN DRHALF OF THE RRIR RAILROAD. ‘Thore was a meeting of the bondholders of the Erie Railroad on the 18th inst. A resolution was adopted ex- pressing confidence in the intrinsic value of the line, and for the appointmént of a committee to raise subscriptions ‘of farther capital, to prevent the foreclosure of the pro- =o LIST OF SUSPENSIONS, RTO. ‘The list of failures was seriously extended. Jowing new suspensions are announced — K Seideking & Son, in the Swedish trade; liabilitio £500,000 sterling. Allon, Smith & Co., in the Denmark trade; liabilities £100,000, Gorriesen, Huffel & Co., general morchante—in conse quence of American diffiealttes—labilities £600,000 ster ding. Boondsen & Johnson, merchants; liabilities £40,000. Brocklesby & We: ; liabilities £40, 000. Merers.

Loans on government securities were in demand at ten per cent. At Hamburg the rate of discount had receded to 83¢. Private letters from Paris describe a betier feeling. ‘The American houses were beginning to get remittances, and the condition of the Bank of France was improving. ‘The Paris correspondent of the London Post says that several Parisian firms are reported tohaveconvoked their most important creditors to concur with them in the ne- cessary means to prevent a public failure, and probably to come to a provisional suspension of payment. This ‘means Of staving off aifficulties will, the writer thinks, be generally accepted in France. At other Continental cities there are likewise signe of an approaching tendency to the revival of confidence. A large and very influential meeting had been held in Glasgow, for the purpose of expressing confidence in th» Scotch banks. It was resolved to accept the notes of tho suspended banks as currency. ‘The shipment of silver to the Fast by the mail of th ‘20th is only £319,000. a ‘The stoppage of the Wolverhampton Bank cewed many failures in the iron districts, representing in the aggregate a large sum. The London Commercial Daily List of Friday evening, 20th ult., saye:— ‘The discount is in some measure become more settled. ‘The timely assistance afforded by the Bank of England has arrested the distress which would otherwise have ov- curred. We cannot quote rates lower. From ten to twelve per cent continues to be demanded, ‘There is, however, a better fecling in all monetary departments,and good bills cease to be rejected. We confidently look forward to the day when confidence will be re-established. ‘A prosecution commenced against certain money changers, had considerably checked the demand for gold at the Bank of France. A despatch from Marseifles says:—Since the publication of the decree authorizing the exportation of grain, the im- provement in the aspect of affairs has been maintained. ‘There has been a rise of three francs for the best qualitics. Other goods are beginning to rally. At Madrid it was not considered likely that the financial crisis would affect Spain. The situation of the bank continued highly satisfactary. The price of wheat con- tinued to give way. ‘The advices from Bohemia are deplorable. Exchange was in favor of gold against bank notes, although secured by the State, at the rate of 11 to 12 per cent, and in favor of silver at the rate of 8 to 9 per cent. A Vienna letter of the 14th says :—The financial accounts from the manufacturing districts were exceedingly afflict- ing. The number of failures was enormous. No greater panic was ever known at Vienna. BY TELEGRAPH FROM LONDON TO LIVERPOOL. Lowpox, Nov. 21, 1867. ‘The Times City Article of Friday evening, the 20th, says: ‘The funds have been very steady to-day, and have cloged at an advance of 44 per cent. There have bgen no further serious failures during the day, the only suspension mentioned being that of a firm of whose ultimate soivency there is apparently not tho slightest doubt. A Curther improvement in foreign exchanges, and the prospect of about half a million in Australian gold being forthwith taken to the bank, and also of a considerable arrival by the Persia from New York, are assisting to impart firm- ness to foreign exchanges. This afternoon the rates for Amsterdam and Hamburg were rather higher, but Paris was about the same as at last post. About £35,000 of gold and coin was gold in the bank to-day. The suspension was announced oa Friday of J. R. Thomson & Co., a firm largely engaged in the colonial trade, especially with the Cape of Good Hope. Their liabilities are supposed to amount to about £200,000 to £300,000, The rate of discount at Hamburg was again advanced from 8% to 9), per cont. This has partly been occosion- ed by the apprehension of a large failure, which it is be- lieved will be found to have been averted. The Times City Article gives the following account of the state of the produce markets during the week — ‘The produce markets which at the commencement of the week showed a slight broncemge 2 to improvement, have since relapsed, in consequence of the extreme are for money, and the still nature of the Ameri can advices, Further heavy failures during nll the early days of the week further increased the general feel ing of distrust; but tho absence of any frosh difficulties on Tuuraday and Friday had some effect in restoring confi ‘At Vienna there bas been a partial recovery in the funds, and the premium on gold has declined nearly one per cent. This improvement is attributable to tho official announcement of a considerable reduction in the Austrian military establishment. At Hamburg Messrs. Ulbing & Cramer, engaged in the Swedish trade, have payment, being involved in some of the embarrassments in London. In the Daily News City Article it is said that the nogo- tiation of bills on the Continent was attended with great difficulty. ‘The Timzs City Article, referring to the bank returns, points out that while we have been increasing our pro: mises to pay in gold, the stock of gold on which those promises were based bas been steadily diminishing. All will seo that this inverse process must have certain limits, and that if those limits were reachod national sus- pension would be the result, happily yet checked by the partial tendency to the revival of confidence, ‘The Datiy News City Article describes the returne as the most remarkable ever published. The bunks have in fringed the act to the extent of two millions, but to a con- widerable extent this infringement is more seeming than real. Of the two millions of new notes created against government securities deposited in the Issue department— £1,148,185 in notes and £404,561 in coin—making a total reserye of £1,662,686 remaining in the bank still; con requontly the extent to which the public have actually trenched upon the new fund of two millions, so far as placed at their disposal, is Jess than half « million. ‘The £686,412 of coin withdrawn remains in the country, being held in Scotland and Ireland, The bank appears to have sold a million of government socurities in the market. Nornvanam, Nov, 20—P. M. ‘The town remaine perfectly tranquil. The Mayor and magistrates have succeeded in preventing « meet. ing of the operatives. Many came in from the country districts, but quietly dispersed. It was generally be- Neved that upon the meeting being prevented in the mar- kot place, the men would assemble in Nottingham forest, and every precautionary meacure was taken to disperse ‘any crowd that might come together. In the country dis- tricta the police were prepared to act at a moment's no- tice, Temporary relief has been afforded to a great many families. ‘The able bodied aro not compelled to go into the workhouse, and they are employed in constrocting ‘fa new road. One of the rioters of Tuorday night has been entenced to six months’ imprisonment. Parra, Nov, 20—Evening. ‘The funda are rather lower. The three per conte closed at 66f, 950. Peres GREAT BRITAIN. Asecond attempt vas made to launch the leviathan steamer Great Easte rn, on November 19, but it proved a failure, it being found impossible to move her. The four hydraulic presses were brought to bear on the ship with full force, which fhiling to start ber, all hands were eat to work on the capstang artd land purchases to heave her off by chaine, but one of the chains gave way, which put an end to the operations. The effort was not to regularly launch her, but to move the vessel some forty feet low sr down, Another attempt will be made in afew with «far. ther improvement in iances. The public are now kept in ignorance as to movements of those haying the superintendence of lannching her. ‘The Sinmese Am! bas been formally receivod by Queen Victoria at Windsor Cantle. Some riotous proceedings had taken place among the unemployed operatives at Nottingham. They held a pub- lic meeting ,and the windows of some of the provision hops were afterwards broken. Any further meetings had been interdicted end special’ constables enrolled to preserve the peace.

This difference threatened to assume some importance, but the French and Prussian governments interpoeed, and suggested that a solution should be left to the Congress of Paris. The difference between the French Ambassador at Con- stantinople and Redschid Pacha, it was understood, had been reconciled. It wis rumored that the prospect of an understanting on the question of the Principalities was all but certain, and that Redschid Pacha would offer no opposition to the lan of an administration union. In the meantimo, tho Principalities are becoming more and more ngitated’ and ultra radicals talked of establishing a provisional govern- ment. . ARRIVAL OUT OF THE STEAMSHIP PERSIA.

We find the following observations in ‘the Epoca —The importance of the news which we have received from Ha. vana is such as to justify us in devoting rome space in our ral of to-day to #0 pleasing and atiefactory a subject. appears by these accounts that there is at tho present moment in tho treasury of the island of Cuba a reserved fund of seven millions and a half of dollars. If this infor- mation which we have received is correct, it would appear that the worthy and excellent General who commands that Antilla bas to the government of Queen Isabella, that next year, provided nothing very unusual or extraor. dinary should occur to prevent it, the treasury of Havana i have it in ite er to send to the peninsula of old Spain a surplus A twenty millions of dollars, without at the came time making any deduetion from the usual and Mportant supplies regularly sent to the treasury of Madrid from the island, ‘We need not expatinte upon the high importance of an event of thie kind in the present lition of the Spanish exebequer. Here we see what sort of an answer is given by the Captain Generet of Havana to all the various acca. cations which Lave heen heaped wpom him. Facts such as thie, towether with others whieh we have before related, in reference to his praiseworthy tn the question of Mexico, are sufficient evidence of the nd wisdom of her Majesty the Queen, in refusiag, ander circumatances of such a critical nature, to remove from his situation a man who ia capable of rendering such important rervices to the Ww ive the following from the Fapana, of Madrid :— Ry letters which we have received from London wo learn that it ig a eobject of general conversation in the higher | circles there that Teabelta, the Queen of Spain, will very probably pay © vinit next «pring to Vietoria, thy Qneen of neland.

They have not tri- umphed; and their tracks of desolation over this coun- try have done more to convince the peopla of their im- piety than the fest arguments and best administration of the government could have done. ‘The reports from Queretaro are highly satisfactory.

The lives were lost by arresting the reactionists in their attempts to produce in- subordination amongst the soldiers. The prompt reply of Gov. Alatriste to the despatch of the President, ordering the suspension of further executions, says most positively that no executions had taken place, and that life had been sacrificed by persons attacking the cuartels. The news from Cuernavaca is most satisfactory to the government. Our correspondent tells us that the pronun- ciados ran away without showing fight. Another report is given that they were twice beaten, We may hourly expect news of importance from Toluca, as that place is in danger of being attacked by the disor: derly. Yesterday morning this city was diminished in its popn- Jation to the number of twenty persons, who were, by orders of the government, put on the read towards the coast. They tilled five coaches, and had au escort of Ofty men, Their destination is not positively known. It is re- ported by some they are to be sent to Yucatan—by others to the United Btates, and again that they are to be detain ed in Perote.

A SPANISH FILIBUSTER EXPEDITION AGAINST MEXI- CO FITTING OUT AT KEY WEST. {From the Mexican Extraordinary, Nov. 10.} Letters received by the last Tennessee strengthen the reports we received by way of Havana, that four sailing vessels and one steamer were being fitted at Key West to operate against Mexico, Gen. Minon is reported to be the head of this movement, and men of all nationalities enlisted in it. ‘The reported plan is to attack Mexico in two points—at Tampica and Campeche, or some other port in ‘Yucatan. These are the reports, aud we give them for what they may be worth. We have long since been advised that Gen, Minon was operating in Hayana to do something against Mexico, and for Santa Anna. It may be that the reports come from his fertile brain or from that of some one connected with bin. Our belief is that the fleet will do nothing. One reason is that the steamer reported as belonging to this formi. dable expedition is the Scottish Chief, an anseaworthy shell that startod from New York to reach the Goatza- coaices river, bul was abandoned in Key West. It i; quite likely the balance of the expedition corresponds with the steamer. THE APYAIR AT PUEBLA, {Correspondence of the Mexican H-xtraordinary Purnta, Nov. 11, 1457. ‘Thanks to Providence our city has escaped being this day the acene of much bloodshed and disorder. For some days it has been rumored thatwe were on the eve o having another revolution.

[From the Mexican Extraordinary, Nov. 12.) The granting of extraordinary powers to President Co- monfort is the signal for an improvement in the a of this for.a. long-time unhappy country. Disorders and discontents have sufficed to sustain in the country maby | bad clements, and tho poverty of the national treasury has disabled the government from making any successful headway against these causes. Sad as has been the his- tory of Mexico for the past few months, we conceive it to have been a real blessing. The rich on the haciendas, and in the towns and villages, who have heretofore been too willing to give aid and countenance to revolutionary Jeadere, bave now fully learned that their seoetoy isn peoiention, to them from the excesses of unprincipled men. have abundant proof in their pillaged houses an its, in their money stolen, in their credits destroyed, and in the ruin of their business, that it ia fully time t discourage the principlo of revolution. They are force! to be friends of the existing government. Although the price at which this change in the feelings of the men of wealth of Mexico bas been purebased, is great, still we consider itcheap atany price, Ruin has rarely fallen on there who have not by direct or indirect means pro revolutions; and they must now be fully convinced that ail hopes of recovering their loases rests with the success of the present government. We therefore find the nation at this moment on the eve of important changes. The people are prepared, from various causes, to sustain @ strong government. The Congres? has endowed President Comonfort with powers te make such a government as the nation requires. The money necessary for such a work will be forthcoming, and the President is now the man on whom reets great responsibil Let all sustain him in his endeavors to ac- quit himeelf nobly; let those who have influence labor to the end that the measures necessary for promoting tho prosperity of this nation be adopted. Amongst those of first importance, we consider immi gration holds first rank. The objection of a disturbed con- dition of the country is not sufficient in itself to detor im migration to Mexico, provided a liberal hand wax extend ed to strangers, and wise and safe laws made to secure capital in its investment in Mexican soil, and in improve- ments on that soil. This is but the work of a few days, and like Utopia will epring to life in the rich portions of Jalisco, Sinaloa and Sonora, on the Pacific, and in Tamau lipae and Vera Cruz, on the Gulf, colonies that will be at once prosperous and law abiding, and furnish good citi- zevs for Mexico. Their taxes could sustain a govern- ment, and their commercial ideas would make them an impassable barrier between the disorderly and thieving portien and the honest and peaceable partof the Mexican ople. Peale ivan now proposed to be made is small. By tho 20th of April—the time fixed for the cessation of the pow- ere granted to the President—this sum will be gone, and then we shall be in no better position than a moath since, unless there shall have been laid in the meantime the foundations for future progress. We have, therefore, to urge it upon the President and those in Influential posi- tions, that the question of immigration be looked into—not to bring an inferior or enslaved race here, but to make such laws as will protect men with money in coming to settle in Mexico. By this means we shall see the poor of Mexico rapidly ascending m the scale of improvement. We believe that President Comonfort will give his en- tire support to any plan by which foreigners ean be in- duced to come and settle here, and briog with them their money, their industry and their improvements for ad- vancing the country. We believe he would give them every guarantee they could require for their protection, and would be rejoiced to know he hadon his soil many persone born strangers who had espoused the nationality of Mexico, and sworn to protect her inviolate to the last. WEAKNESS OF COMONFORT—A SON OF ITURBIDE P20- POSED FOR LEADER AGAINST HIM. {Correspondence of the New Orleans Boo.) Mextco, Nov. 10, 1867. Messrs. Eprrons—The long expected political revulsion bas now arrived. Gur situation ia alarming to the last degree. The reaction, so often subdued, and so often for. given, has now assumed proportions dangerous to the sta- bility of the government. The defeat at J'la‘auillo und the death of Gen. Gonzales bave proved the signal for this deplorable change in the position of parties. The falla- cious, vacillating and feeble policy of Comonfort has finally borne its fruits. Not a single one of those revolu uonary chiefs who now threaten him but has been three ‘or four times in his power. They have heen emboldenod by impunity; they have exhausted the resources of the government by perpetual agitation, and they are now almort in a condition to dictate their own terms. The preas will keep you advised of the audacious robberies and spoliations perpetrated by these mon. It is no longer a political struggle but an organized system of brigandage and plunder. Property and individual security are alike in danger; and this is the resuit of Comonfort’s misjudged clemency. Mr. Comonfort is a kind hearted and amiable man in privage life, but there qualities are worse than uscless in ae le means: ment which should employ every po: for tho regeneration of a disorganized poop! sternness and energy, and is wholly unfitted for a position which demands of bim a display of untiring rigor and de- termination, Even now his newly.awakened severity is limited to the exile of twenty-threa prisoners, who have been thrice guilty of plots and cupepiracies. Nor does any one believe that this rigor will be of long duration. The real severity displayed by Alatriata,on the occasion of the late outbreak at Puebla, has been tacitly, if not open- ly, disapproved by the government. In vhort the weak ness of the administration is palpable in every movement and action. Not only does ite pale and (anid policy en- courage the malcontents, but it destroy « the confidence of the capitalista, and this aggravates the danger of the posi- tion. Since the entrance of Mr. Payno, as Ministor 4 nance, he bas made unparalleled etforts to procure re- sources, but in vain, ‘The moneyed men look to security, and find none in a government which is even ceativite of the instinct of self preservation. And hereia lies the marrow of the problem. With money the revolution can be crushed ; without it, the government must suc- cumb, ‘The ronctionists are in want of a leader, Santa Anna is divtasteful to a large proportion of them. General Balas is thought of, but he i inexile, A new combination ts how spoken of, and propositions have, it it said, been ae: cepted by Augustin Itarbide, eldest son of ‘the great liberator.

APYRAL AGAINST THE REST PATRIOTS LEAVING THE COUNTRY. AN EAINE! (Translated! on: Le Trait d’Union, of Mexico, Nov. 12, for the New Yous Fienaun. } One of our cotemporaries— The Moniteur—containg ju its columns of yesterday a report which we had already heard of. Acording to this rumor it would appear that Mr. Miguel Lerdo, of Tejada, has been appointed Minister from Mexico at Paris, in place of M. Olaquabel, who has been dismissed. Beyond all doubt Mr. Lerdo will be able to render very important services to hie country in hte new employment. The post which he formerly oveupted as Mintster of Finance bas made him intimately acquainted ith one of the important fevtures of the Spanixh Mexican quertion—we meun that of the Spanish Convention, Mr. | Lerdo was aleo a member of the Cabinet at the time of the occurrence cf the @eplorable events of San Vicente, when thore events were long and profoundly discuwed tn the Cabinet and investigated with the mort careful attention. Besides all thie, Mr. Lerdo has a name in Europe to which historical recollections are attached, and he will be wel comed there with much respect and honor, and recotved With all the apphianees of a well morited consideration. Still, however, We cannot believe that he will accopt this Appointment, Under the circumstances of the times, and ing the transaction of the evemts which are now hay pening in Mexico, His name i @ rallying point and standard for the party of Progress, in the military polley of the country. The standerd of @ regiment must not be taken away from the legion to which it belongs. The cause of democracy, now threatened with a reaction which is making a desperate struggle, stands in need of all her friends and champions, and above all she stands in need of her leaders. These, therefore, ought to devote themselves to the causo—they belong to ft. The future before us is at thie moment pregnant with great and unexpected events, Under a certain and given state of things the name of Mr. Lerdo would be univer. sally cailed forth from out of the mouths of men. This would be the necessary and reasonable consequence of events near to happen, and which, probably, are not very far off from us. Besides, Mr. Lerdo himself is the man who first engaged veri 7 in the great battie which is now beirg fought, namely, the battle between the nation and the church. It is a necessary, therefore, that he should stick to his poet and keep his place at the head of the combatante, and that there in the front rank he should either triumph with the conquerors or perish with the conquered {From the same of Nov. 12] THE BXILES.

For the article 123 3 ey: Now, if the statement of this paragraph is well founded, it was ‘clearly the duty of the supreme government to havo immediately ratified and confirmed thie sort of usurpation alleged to have been committed by the Gov ernor of Fucbia on his own authority, and which he waa necessitated to do for the safety of the cause. But such is not the state of the case. There was no act of usurpation commitied, All that M. Alatriste did was to take away from a number of obstinate conspirators the pecuniary recources by means of which they fomented disorder and rebellion. | Whether these sonspirators were: civilor military mén, or clerical p or what might be the source of their pecuniary a at all to do with the matter. No question’ arises here, in such a transaction, as to the relation between the church and the State, The only question involved is that of main- taining public order and tranquillity.
