An ‘portant contract for gunpowder bas also been con- cluded. 'A large portion of the Red Sea telegraph cable has been shipped from Liverpool in the steamers Imperador and Imperatrice. A number of forged bills of exchange to @ large amount have been successfully put into circulation in London. ‘They purport to be drawn by the Barbados branch of the Colonia} Bank on the parent establishment in London, and are supposed to have been manufactured in New York, where, after baying passed through good hands, they were remitted to London to eeveral respectable firms for collection, Those already presented at the Colonial Bauk amount to about £9,000, and from the manner in which ‘they are numbered, it is inferred that at least a total of £15,000 bas been put forth. The fluctuations in the stock exchange have been slight. Very littlo business had been Jone, and the general tenor oe the market was heavy. On the 28th the funds were steady, notwithstanding adverse reports from Paris, and the market closed firm. ‘Lhe Times contains the following upon the tea market:— «In consequence of intelligence from China confrming the previous reports of short supplies, there was great exc’to- ‘ment in the tea markets, and considerable demand for ‘most descriptions at higher prices.

The Globe's Pa is correspo.- dent says that the fermentation in Gallicis is such that eighty thousand troops have been concentrated along that frontier and Lemberz. The Vienna correspondent of the Times is positive that Austria would never consent to the Italian question being settled by a European Congress. ‘Tt was reported that Austria and Russia ar te be on better terms, and it is related that a letter Alexan- der to the Emperor Francis Joseph has been received, which the latter considered extremely satisfactory. ‘The pretensions of Napaleon to play the part of Euro- pean arbitrator, begins, it is supposed, to be regarded as somewhat dangerous.

THE ARRIVAL OF SOULOUQUE AND FAMILY AT KINGS- TON—GREAT EXCITEMENT AND ENTHUSIASM AMONG THE NEGROES AND REFUGEES AT KINGSTON. By the schooner Charlotte Minerva we have Kingston, Jamaica, papers to January 29. The Standard, of the 26th, says:— In our last we briefly announced that a revolution had broken out at Hayti, headed by one General Geflrard, and that a battle had been fought between the troops of Sou- Jouque and the revolutioniste. From recent accounts we are enabled to give fuller particulars. It appears that on arriving at Port au Prince General Geflrard sent a flag of truce to the Emperor, offering him his life and protection to his family it he would abdicate his power and gave the people of Hayti from the horrors of a civil war. Soulouque demanded time to consider, which was allowed him, but before the allotted time had expired the imperial Ln Jaid down their arms and made common cause with the followers of Geflrard. The Emperor, no longer left to his choice, proceeded to make out his papers of abdication, and on the 15th he caused the following proclamation to be made:— Haytigns:—Called by the will of the people to govern the destinies of Hayti, all my care and anxieties have constantly been for the welfare of my citizens and the prosperity of my coontry. I held hopes that 1 could have relied on the affections of those who elevated me to that supreme power, but the last events that have taken place do not permit me to doubt the true sentiments of the people. 1 have too much friendship for my country to hesitate in sa- crificing myeelf for the good of all. T abdicale, and have only one wish, that Hayt! may be as happy as my beart has always desired: Done at Port au Prince, 15th day of January, 1859, In the 56th year of independence. FAUSTIN. A gentleman at Hayti, writing toa friend in this city, says:— It is spoken of here as a glorious revolution, as thou- sands of weapons were drawn, but not a single life lost. President Geffrard is a soldier every inch of him, Emperor and his partisans have received all the kins and protection that a truly noble and humane man could ive them. The mob was ready to tear them to pieces if ey had not been restrained by the President. You will receive enclosed a copy of the abdication. The ex-Emperor was escorted by Capt. McCrea, captain of artillery, to the French Consul with a strong escort of guards of Presi- eee Teen’ say i ie tbat made belie from the Consul on board the urne ; popul against him. the Ener que is said to be immensely rich; his wealth is at upwards of £500,000, banked in bas upwards of ope hundred houses, mansions in Hayti. At the break~ ‘tng out of the Teyolution he had a¢ tie palace £30,000 In id, And two mithove or paper dollars; the paper money ¢ had to leave, which the mob divided among them- selves, anda deal of gold was found in the Empress’ and Princess’ roome—the mob took it all. He has a large amount of moncy and valuables with him, The Emperor is accompanied by M. Petion Faubert, who is a grandson of Petion, one of ‘the former Presidents; the Emperor re- quested him to accompany him, and General Geffrard kindly conceded the favor. On Saturday last the transport Melbourne, which had left this port some days before with troops for England, and detained at Hayti some days, returned, having on board the ex-Fmperor, his family and suite, consistiag of the Empress, twodanghters of the Emperor and their at- tendants, General Vil de Ben, Governor of the Cupital; General Desatines, Prefect of Police,,and General Baron Damier, Secretary of State. On the landing of the party the greatest excitement pre- yailed in town, particularly among the Haytien refugees expstriated by Soulouque at and since his ac. cession, some of whom, it is believed, meditated violence to his person; but we should be sorry to know that any of them would violate the sacredness of that refuge in which, in the time of need, they themsclves had to seek protection, Whatever oulonque might bave been in his own country, and whatever cause hig exiled countrymen might bave w feel exasperated at him, he is now under the protection of the British flag, which, by the blessing of God, we trnst will ever wave over this island, and save us irom the horrors of a war of races, which appears to be tue destiny of thesajstands when left to govern themsei The Hiack peome here are to a onque, es may be inferred from the demonstrations they tage upoa bis landiig.

In view of the uncertainty attending the operations of the Atlantic Telegraph Company, the Associated Press bave adopted effective measures to organize an efficient and permanent news establishment at Cape Race, N. F.; and there is good reason to expect that from and after the Ist of May @ very large majority of all the European steamers will bo boarded by the news collectors of the Associated Press off that point. The owners and officers of the several lines of steamers have given the most grati- fying assurances of their valuable assistance, and the ar- Tangements of the association will be upon such a liberal that we can hardly fail to obtain the news from Eu- rope in from five to seven days, and very regularly, after next May. The public, therefore, will soon regard the arrival of steamers at Halifax and Portland in the same light as they now look upon an arrival of a Cunard steamer at Boston. Police Intelligence. IMPORTANT ARREST OF AN ALLEGED BANK DeravLTer.— Yesterday afternoon detective officer Joseph Keefe, while passing up Broadway, espied the wife of one Samuel F. Jones, late cashier of the Colchester Bank, Colchester, Conn., and who, it is alleged, absconded with some $70,000 belonging to the said bank, and by which means it became about a year ago insolvent. Jones having eluded pur- suit, and the officer knowing that he was want- ed, thought it beat to follow Mra. Jones and see if her husband was in the city with her. She finally proceeded to the Metropolitan Hotel, and on inquiry the officer found that Mr. and Mrs. Jones were ccupying room No, 310. He accordingly made known the facts to Captain Walling, and about five o'clock in the afternoon they proceeded to the hotel and to the room in question, when, sure enough, they found Mr. Jones com- fortably seated in an arm chair. They immediately made known their errand, when Jones seemed much surprised, but finally stated that he was in the custody of anothor officer.

The combined forces, consisting of three English, five French and five Spanish ehips-of-war, each pointing their guns upon Vera Cruz, have succeeded at last to force upon poor Mexico a tariff at least thirty per cent higher ‘than the merchants enjoyed heretofore, After much resistance on the part of the Juarez government it had to yield at lat, and issued the enclosed decrees, from which you will perceive that al! allowance hitherto made in favor of commerce bas been abolished, and the parties have secured the lion’s share of the revenues of our Custom ‘House, : Now if this does not stir up our government, I do not know what other stimulous it may want.

This tariff remained in full force till the pronunciami- ento of Zuloaga against Comonfort. In January, 1857, Governor Zamora, himself a merchant, perceiving the difficulty of the merchants raising the money necessary for their duties (the regular conducta from the capital being withheld by Zuloaga) reduced the rates of duties on all merchandise twenty per cent, in order to compen- sate the merchants for the sacrifices thef-had to make in obtaining the money for the liquidation of their obligations to the Custom House. Moreover, the Governor abolished also the two per cent, called circulation duty, which had to be paid on all remittances in specie coming from the interior, facilitating in this way trade in general. ‘These concessions on the of our ernor, and which were sanctioned afterwards by the Juarez govern- ment, relieved the merchants ju such @ manner that ‘business continued which otherwise would have crumbled down to nothingness. Goods were ordered from Europe and the United States under the impression, and with the assurance of the gov- ernment here, that no alteration in the tariff would take place without proper notice. Part of these have wrived and otbers are stillon the way, when in drop these war vessels of her Britannic Majesty and his Impe- rial Highness, demanding vs, on the part of their roapec- tive governments, to abolish all concessions in favor of commerce, denying the right to a legitimate government here to alter its own tariff in any manner or form, or to make concessions to our met ig.

MANUEL G, ZAMORA, ‘Vera Cruz, Jan. 28, 1859, PETITION OF THE MERCH ANTS OF VERA CRUZ TO PRE- 4 SIDENT JUAREZ. The undersigned, merchants of the city of Vera Cruz, with due respect, bring to your excellency’s notice, that they have seen with regret in the amendment of the the State government on the 15th of of March, 1867, such great injuries to do not consider it in harmony commerce ever has received decrees issued by Janvary and 15 their interests, that the: with the protection whi trom your well known benevolence, ‘When the State Legislature issued the above mentioned decrees conceding a reduction in the rates of the tarii!, it was with the idea to assist commerce and compensate in some mesure for the heavy loeses it sustained in con- sequence of the interruption of all communications with the interior, enormous rates of exchange, and the difll- culties generally in carrying on trade. Merchants concluded that while this state of affairs lasted these concessions would continue on the same terms, and they, as well as their correspondents in the interior and Europe, did not suspend their orders and re- mittapees; and even if counter-orders were given now such never would reach in time to avoid the shipment of the goods ordered, and on reaching hero will fall under the high duties. Permit us, Mr. President, to say, that no change for the better has taken place;on the contrary, it has growa woree and worse. Exchange on Mexico, in the absence of specie conyoys from the interior, has risen to fifteen per cent; the rates of freights are enormously high, the risk of transit greater than ever, and goods from a place occupied by the constitutional forces are taxed on reaching their destina- tion with thirty per cent. For these reasons and others which your Excellency will easily perceive, we trust that you will cause the annulment of the decree of the 26th of January, giving by this a new proof of the interest you take in everything concerning commerce.

From the other side, via the capital, this sums up the news:—Gen. Moreno still held Colima in the name of Mi- ramon. His force consisted of two battalions, numbering in all 2,500 men. Col. Joaquin Miramon, brethor of the President, was, at last accounts, in Zacatecas, with 560 men. He was hastening to the relief of San Luis, Gen, Perez Gomer, was left in command at Guadalajara. Gene- rals Liceaga and Ordonez were left by Miramon, with their divisions, at Guanajuato and Queretaro. At the lat- tor city several arrests bad been made by Gen. Mejia, commanding the vanguard of the federal army. Gen, Miramon’s journey to the capital was made in the most leisurely manner, and numerous officers and politicians ‘went out to various points to meet him and render ho- mage to the man of the day, The Vera Cruz Progreso records the arrival in that city of Gen. Balbontin, distinguished for his vigorous defence of the Acordada, against Zuloaga and the Tacubaya rebels, about a year ago. He {s one of those let out of prison the 280 of December by Robles. The position of Robles Pezueln, during the last days of his brief authority at the capital of Mexico, must have een humiliating in the extreme.

As “straws show which way the wind blows,” judging from certain trifling events I begin to think our Spanish friends feel that it will be the wiser part to yield grace- fully and sell this island rather than go to war about the subject. When men begin to estimate, talk about and place a value upon any article they possess, which article another desires to purchase, it would seem as though the owner would sell could he obtain the price he demands. “As with individuals, 60 with nations,” and when we find the papers of this city sneering at the trifling amount (thirty millions of dollars) proposed to be placed in the hands of the Prerident to reopen the negotiations for the porchage of this island, as though that were the utmost amount we were wiiliug to pay for it, have we not the right to assume they will sell if they can get their price?

Our Spanish friends smile and eneer at this attemptto buy their island, reminding one of that class of persons who laugh when they are angry. The creoles, though, are in perfect ecetacies. They say, “We begin to think there is something reaily intended now, and that you (we) are in earnest and will purchase our dear Cuba.” My copy ofthe Herarp of the 27th ult.
