The News. By the steamship Nova Scotian we have one day later intelligence from Europe. The most impor- tant item in relation to the war is the report that Prussia had mobilized six corps d’armée, as a pre- paratory step towards aidigg Austria under certain contingencies. Napoleon removed his headquar- ters to Gorgonzola on the 12th inst.,and on the fame day superintended the bridging of the Adda, for the passage of the army, which was to have taken place on the 13th. The King of Sardinia bad awarded Garibaldi a gold medal, and extolled him in the order of the day. The Emperor of Austria had decided to take upon himself the command of the army, aad had ordered a new position tobe taken. The latest accounts state the Austrians were evacuating Mo- dena and retreating towards the river Oglio. The arrangements for forming the new British Cabinet had so far progressed that Lord Palmerston waa ready to submit the list to the Queen for approval. The London money market continued active, and consols closed on the 14that 93] a 93§. The cotton market at erpool was quiet and prices un- changed. A better demand prevailed at Man- chester at previous rates. Provisions dull‘and steady; breadstuffs generally lower. The steamship Arabia, uow Que with datos to the 18th, from Liverpool, had not been signalled at Halifax last evening. Additional particulars of the seizure of the con- ducta, with five million dollars, on its way from the City of Mexico to Vera Cruz, have been received. The conducta arrived at Jalapa on the 10th instant, and was detained there a week by General Robles, who then suffered it te proceed. When near the National Bridge it was ordered by Robles, who was acting under the authority of Miramon, to return. The conducta remains at Rinconada, subject to the order of Robles, who wished to place it on board a British vessel, whose commander refused to receive it, although ordered by the English and French Ministers to do so, Miramon had collected half a million dollars as duties on the conducla. Advices from Havana to the 25th state that sugar was quiet, with no change in prices. Molaases dull and nominal. Freights inactive. The State Department received advices yester- day from General Lamar, our Minister in Nicara- gua. The reply of the Nicaraguan government to the despatch of General Cass was sent on by Mr’ Lamar to the Department. Our relations with that State will most probably receive the early attention of the adminis ion, particularly as this govern- ment is cherged with bad faith towards Nicaragua. Despatches received at the Navy Department from the commanders of the Home and Pacific sqnadrons represent matters under their control as in apromising condition. The despatches received by the War Department from the T report the peacefal aspect of e ‘ ne ged, and that no serious Indian dis- turbances were apprehended. y the arrival of the brig Baltimore from Port au ince we have nine days later news from St. Do- Commerce appears to be reviving from rey into which it had been plunged for many years by the late imperial government. In the Chamber of Representatives a movement was on foot to close the port of Grand Salines, but the merchants of Port au Prince have forwarded a re- monstrance against the measure. The entire coun- try appears to be tranquil. In the Board of Aldermen last evening a propo- sal to erect drinking fountains throughout the city was referred to the Croton Aqueduct Board. A re- solution was passed appoiuting the 18th day of July for a couvention of the Board to appoint clerks for the several District Courts. Alderman Starr offered 2 revolution to dispense with the fireworks in front of the City Hall on the Fourth of July. A debate arose, in which the conduct of the members on the occasion of the Cable celebration was severely criticised. It was finally voted down. The Board of Councilmen transacted a consider- able amount of business last evening. A resolution Was offered to erect a fire bell tower in tho end of the City Hall park, on the will be cut off by the extension of Beekman street It is proposed to have engine houses on the ground floor, the whole expe hot to exceed $59,009. The proposition was placed in the hands of the Committee on Repairs and Supplies. A petition from the Executive Committee on cleaning Broad way, praying the city to pay a deficiency incurred by them in keeping Broadway clean, was referred to the Finance Committee. A resolution to lay out Reservoir eqnare as a public park, at an expense of $15,000, was referred to the © Lands and Places, Reports were adopted directing the Grand 8treet Ferry Company to put their ferry bridges in 4 proper re. pair; concurring to direct the Sixth avenue Railroad Company to repair their tracks and keep them in order; to give a donation of $244 75 to the trustees of the Chelsea Methodist Episcopal church; concurring ’to rebuild engine of Company 26; con- curring relative to purchasing carriages for Nog, 1) and 58; concurring to give Engine Sompany No. 28 a new engine, at a cost not to exceed ¢} 500, and conenrring to rebuild truck of Hook aud Ladder Lo y No. 1. The communication from the ‘ommittee on | Central Park Commissioners, with an ordinance for widening the carriage way of Fifty-ninth street, was concurred in. A communication was re- ceived from his Honor the Mayor vetoing the reso- Iution to direct the Comptroller to lease the lot at No. 289 Henry street as a location for Hook and Ladder Company No. 11. The Mayor bases his ob- jections on the ground that the property holders in the vicinity and the trustees of the church directly opposite the location are opposed to it. The Board adjourned to Thursday, at five o’clock P i. ‘the Excise Commissioners met yesterday and granted twenty-four licenses. A resolution of some importance to the liquor fraternity was offered by Commissioner Haskett, and after some discussion it was laid over till next meeting. This resolution eppears in another column. The Committee of the Common Council to arrange for celebrating the Fourth of July met yesterday and adopted their programme, which was submit- ted by the sub-committee. This will be published in a day or two. On motion, one member of the committee was appointed to be present at each of he places where fireworks will be displayed. Governor Banks, of Massachusetts, who is tempo. arily stopping in this city, paid a visit to the Insti- utions at Randall’s and Blackwell's islands yester_ day, by invitation of the Board of Ten Governors, ‘The company was small and select. Speec' es were made by the boys, welcoming the dist guished visiter. Governor Banks made a brief repiy. Justice Welsh yesterday gave his decision in the Hillsburgh libel suit, and concluded to hold Capt, Chauncey to answer. He having previously given bail, he was discharged to wait his trial at the Gene- ral Sessions. The match race between Bill Cheatham and Tar River, three mile heats, came off over the Fashion Course yesterday. The race was won by Chea- tham in two straight heats, in the very quick time of 5:42—5:38. A trot also took place on the Union Course, two mie heats, in harness, between George N. Patchen, Lady Woodruff, and Brown D George N. Patchen was the victor in two staight heats, in the capital time of 5:01}—5:03}. The details will be found elsewhere. At the meeting of the Health Commissioners yesterday the City Inspector was authorised to ap. point a temporary Assistant Health Warden for the Nineteenth ward. Reports were received from the Health Wardens mentioning that the streets are much cleaner than usual. Other miscellaneous bu- siness which occupied the Board will be found in our report. The old policemen are looking up; their case seems brighter, and the obnoxious enactment of the Albany Legislature which hurled them from office and wrested from Mayor Wood the powers conferred upon him by the people of the city, is likely to be set aside as unconstitutional. Judge Roosevelt yesterday delivered a very elaborate opinion in the case of Beatey against the Police Cammissioners, overruling the demurrer of the latter and virtually deciding that the old police should be restored. The sales of cotton yesterday embraced about 600 a 800 bales, closing quietly on the basis of quotations given in avother column. Flour was generally dull and lower, except for good fresh ground lots of State and Western, which were not plenty and were sustained. Southern flour was lows buoyant and active, and closed at easier rates for mixed lots and inside grades of extras. Wheat was heavy and sales limited, including old white Southern at $1 60, white do, at $1 70, and new amber colored at $1 75. Corn was firm and in fair demand, with sales of Western mixed at 8lo. a 823¢c., round yellow at 833¢c., and Weat- erp yellow at 840, Asale of rye was made at 890. 2 90c. Pork was more buoyant for mess on the spot and for future delivery. Sales of now mess were made at $16 25 a $16 3734, with sales, sellers’ option 30 days, at $16 25, with 1,000 bbls. at buyers’ option, 60 days, at 316 50, and 50 for August and September roported at #16 60. Beef was heavy and lard rm. Sugars continued firm, with sales of 615 hhds. and 220 boxes at rates given in another place. Coffee was firm, with sales of two car- goes of Laguayra, besides eome 1,0¢0 bags Rio and 250 bago Muracatvo, at rates given in emother column, There was a speculative movement in rice, based on reports from the South to the effect that the supply was go far reduced ag to be barely sufficient to supply the wants of the domestic trade until the advent of the new crop, gome sixty or nincty days hence. ‘The ta'cs witbin a few days have reached about 6,000. 6,5C0 carke, on private terms, closing at an advance of i¢0, 4 24¢. above the previous lowest point. Tne stock re marming in first hands was light, and in some cases held cat of market. Freight engagements were light, and as 190m to Liverpool was eone lees plenty, rates were firmer for some éeacriptions of produce. Among theengagements to that port were 2,200 bbis. rosin at Sd. a Od., 250 do. by etesmer at 15d., and 300 bbls. pork do, at 15d. The Douglas Manifesto and Its Authoritative Explanation. Aspecial despatch from Philadelphia, which we publish this morning, furnishes, as we have reason to believe, the authoritative interpreta- tion of the late popular sovereignty manifesto of Mr. Douglas in reference to the Charleston Con- vention. It thus appears that the disruption of the democratic party in 1860, after the fashion of the Van Buren split of 1848, is no part of the programme of Mr. Douglas; but that, anticipating a defeat shonld he enter the lists for the Charles ton nomination, his manifesto is equivalent to hic withdrawal as a candidate for the succession, It further appears that this plan of operations bringe Mr. Douglas into a present “happy ac- cord” with Gov. Wise, as the proper democratic candidate for 1860; that thus the Senator, through his friends in the Charleston Convention, expects to bold that balance of power which will be com- petent to secure the nomination of the Governor; and that thus, instead of bolting from the Con- vention, Mr. Douglas expects to actiait, and to support its ticket before the people. Bat it seems, on the other hand, that the sagacious Worwick of Tilinois entertains the idea that the democracy, even with Governor Wise as their candidate, will be so soundly thrashed in 1860 asto bring the despotic Southern wing of their party to their sober senses by the year 1864, and to the adoption of Mr. Douglas as the national standard-bearer of the party, in order to recover their Northern balance of power. This isa shrewd, deep, und well considered programme, no doubt. But mark its practical results. Assuming that the Charleston nomina- tion will be Gov. Wise, with bis platform of Con- greseional soverelgnty and Congressional legis- lation, if necessary, to sustain slavery in the Ter- ritoriee, of what avail will be the support of this ticket by Mr. Douglas in the North? It will amount to nothing against this Northern demo- cratic hobby of squatter sovereignty, and Mr. Douglas knows it. A black republican Presi- dent will thus be elected by the solid vote of the Northern States, and the democracy, from an un interrapted eight years’ debauch over the spoils will bf torned off for a fast of indefinite duration. “Tt may be for four years, and it may be for ever.” In limiting it to one term, Mr. Douglas certainly exbitits a high degree of confidence in “the cohesive power of the public plunder” as a | democratic cure-all. At all events, we have no fault to find with | Mr. Douglas, and none with Gov. Wise, for foro- | stalling, as they have done, the action ot the | Charleston Convention in reference to ita plat- | form. The first shot or two against these trad. ing and corrupt party gatherings, striking them between wind and water, is thus administered. | The Convention thus becomes rubordinate to tho bold and daring candidate, and ceases to be the rofthe party, Thus the ¢ yention is sloeady virtually red | dictato : ts | Goimeetic revolution, The political meas: NEW YORK WERALD, TUESDAY, JUNK 28, 1859. ! proper level, a6 a mere scarecrow, made of rags | and straw, and stuck upon a pole to fright | ep the silly birds from the cora. Douglas and Wise have made this discovery at last, an! if the conrequences do vot involve the comp!e'e | humiliation, disgrade aud abandonment of those jugulivg conventions, we are very much mis- taken. Van Buren, even against the popular name ot General Cass, gave ua an illustration ot the | weakners of these party couventions in 1848; it only needed a word from Henry Chay for e siai- Jar i)lustration on the other side in the sane | campaign, But still, the astonishing fist is be fore us, that notwithatanding the voice of » single prominent leader, democratic or opposi- tion, would bave been enough at any time since 1836 to defeat the annointed casdidate of the party convention, the most powerful politicians, and the best qualified and most deserving states men of the country, have submitted, from tine to time, through a quarter of @ century, to the tricks and ebifts and negative candidates of these convention jugglers, Thus, even Mr, Buchaaaa, overslaughed in 1852 by such an expedient obscu- rity as Pierce, would have been set aside, per- hape, in 1856, by some other small fry politi- cian, but for the indispensable vote of Peansy!- yania, which no other democrat than Buchanan could carry. We rejoice at the prospect of the pro tration of this most detestable of all det potiams—the despotiam of a cabal of vagrant and irresponsible politicians and public paupers. Mr. Douglas ‘and Governor Wis: are, in this view, entitled to the thanks of the country in commencing the work of pulliug down this political Bastile, the national party convention. They have done enough, we be- lieve, to spoil the sport of the vagabond apoils- men who wil] assemble at Charleston to arrange their game for the plunder; and benceforward these irresponsible conventions will, we expect, be superseded by a more independent popular elective system, subject to the decision of the Houee of Representatives, a body of men clothed with some authority and responsibility. Our Rupture with Nicaragua—The Central American Imbroglio Up Again. Our advices from Nicaragua go to show that we are to have another diplomatic imbroglio ov our hands, and that the long mooted Central American question is to come up again, not in « new, but in one ot its protean old shapes. Gen. Lamar has departed from Managua, the capital of Nicaragua, having left in the hands of Senor Zeledon an ultimatum for his considera- tion. This demand is said to involve the ratifé cation of the original Cass-Yrisarri treaty and of Sir W. G. Ouseley’s Moequitia convention; the restoration of the Joe White contract; in- demnity for the seizure of his steamers, aud eatis- faction to the United States for having insulted it with the proposition of a treaty similar to the Ouseley-Zeledon convention in place of the Cass- Yrisarri treaty. So says the semi-official jour- nal of the Nicaragua government, which con- tains a long article on the ultimatum and Gen. Lamar, both of which are treated with diploma- tic courtesy of language, but great severity of argument, From this statement of the terms of the ultimatum we must deduct some things. We do not believe that our government has demanded any ratification of Sir W. G, Ouse- ley’s propositions in regard to Mosquitia, nor any opelugy from Nicaragua for having pro- posed to substitute the Ouseley-Zeledon Coaven- tion for the Cass-Yrisarri treaty. Sir Wm. Gore Ouseley has not shown any greater diplomatic skillin Nicaragua recently thao he did in Buenos Ayres some years since; and there is no reason why our government should put a demand for the ratification of a British treaty in its ultimatum. Furthermore, his proposed Mog- quitia convention is said to be a copy of the Dallas-Clarendon propositions, which have al- ready been rejected by the United States Senate. As for an apology for offering a substitute for the Cass-Yrisarri treaty, the thing is ridiculous. Not only has Nicaragua the right in a negotia- tion to make any proposition she chooses, but Gen. Lamar himself agreed to accept the substi- tute, and sent it home for ratification by our government, Itis not probable, therefore, that he has included any demand for apology on that score in bis note to Senor Zeledon. The other points are legitimate subjects for au ultimatum, Our government is entirely justified, not only by past circumstances in Nicaragua, but by its present internal condition, in demanding #ll the conditions of the Cass- Yrisarri treaty, as necessary to the security of the transit of travel and commerce over the Nicaragua isthmus. The demand in relation to the White contract and steamers is ia consonance with the obligation of every government to pro tect the just rights of its citizens, So far as the company tu question is concerned, it is entitled to the protection of our government, and that of Nicaragua should make restitution for any damage it may have inflicted on it. If’ the com- pany has possessory rights, the question can be easily settled where there is a disposition on both sides to do jnstice; and if it bas no such Tights, the goverament of the United States will not demand their concession. The presentation of the ultimatam by General Lamar involves the sarpension of diplomatic intercourse on our port with Nicaragua. It now devolves on that government to take the firat step towards its reopening. General Jerez, ita recent Minister at Waebington, bas gone home fully informed as to the views of our government, and may be able to bring about a reeumptioa of friendly re- lations, The fact is, the whole of this Central Ameri can matter bas been botched by incompetent bands and private intrigues, jast as many other of our Spanish-American questions have been, Men are sent out to those conao- tries who know nothing of their language, history, social customs, or modes of thought, and whose only claim to position in public af fairs is that they have been good stump speakers or successful county politicians As a natural consequence, they look down upon and quarrel with men who do not chew tobacco and drink whiskey, and are circumvented in every logical encounter they getinto. There are about half a dozen Spanish legations iu the Spanish-Ameri- can countries which our growing in‘ercourse and commerce require should be filled by men fit and capable for the positions, and such only should be put into them. Surely the Presidential and Congressional party politics of this great country can be managed without the assistance that can come from half a dozen politicians such as are sent to Central Atherica or Bolivia, The mission to Nicaragua Is now a case in point. General Lamar is coming home at time when that r $02 the verge of 4 2 the present goverment are distustefal co a "2" party there, aud its doagvial policy has neitie raised revenue vor lightened the Qarassing taxes on the people, Its own journals confess the pu lic dssatistuction and the geuerai prostration ond poverty, At ench a time a clear-headed and genial Minister from tea couatry, cap ste of holding iatimate xoelal relations wirh the leading mov, could, without any improper tater. ference, do more towards establishing a proper system of foreign aud domestic policy than all the potiticians that eka be gathered netween the St. Johns and the Pacific ocean, We trust that when diplomatic relations are renewed with Cea- tral America the President will send such a maa there. Jntexesting News from Europe—Une Day Later. By the arrival of the steamship Nova Scotian at Fartber Point from Liverpool, we bave tele- graphic despatches of intelligence from Europe ove day later. In the present critical condition of Evropean affairs even one day later is looked jorward to with interest, for none can tell what aday or even an hour may bring forth as re- garde the relations between the Powers of Eu- rope, the hostile operations of the belligerents, or the progress of revolutionary movements in Italy—perbaps in countries beyond Italy. The present news in some of its featares is highly interesting. There was no new battle, bat there was an inyportant advance made by the allied troops. Napoleon moved bis headquarters to Gorgon- zola, twelve miles northeast of Milan, near the Adda, with a view to cross that river by means of bridges of voats—an operation in which be was completely successful. The greater part of the army bad passed over, and the passage o the whole was to bave been completed on the same day on which the despatch is dated. There was no opposition, and the line of the Adda must have been entirely abandoned by the Ans- triane, and the bridges broken down bebiod them, as this operation took them by surprise, while they were in force further down the river at Lodi and Pizighettone, both strongly fortified places. Gorgonzola is on the road to Bergamo which crosses the river a few miles further north- vast, at Varpria, while a branch road leadiny from this, about halfway between Gorgonzola and Varpria, also crosses the Adda, and a littly tower down, the railroad from Milan to Brescia and Verona crosses at Cassano, seventeen miler from Milan. The bridges at these points were orobably broken down, and hence the necessity of constructing bridges of boats. Tt will be thus seem that the Emperor of the French is making steady progress and sure work. He has.shown himself hitherto a cautious yet prompt and able General. The next river of any importance which he will have to cross be fore reacbiog the Mincfo, which fronts the famous strategic square, is the Oglio; but he is nor bkely to fisd much difficulty in that. It appears ‘hat the Austrians, who had evacuated Modena. were in tull retreat to the Oglio. We are ia formed by this arrival that the Austrian Emperor isto assume the immediatecommand ia person, with a new position for his army, which was to be taken in the best manner. The meaning of this no doubt is that the next grand fight would take place behind the Mincio, and if beaten frow that, then to make the last stand behind the Adige, the strongest defensive line of all. Iu connection with this determination of the young Austrian Emperor, we have the important intelligence that Prussia had mobilized six corps Warmée, which the London Herald, Lord Derby's organ, tays means war. This news bears out the statement we lately published from one otf our European correspondents, that Prussia had sent commissioners to Muoich and Dresden to wek permission for the passage of her troopa, which places would be on the line of march to Italy At the came time we have news that large rein- forcements were about to leave France for the army. From all which facts we conclude tha’ the war, so far from being nearly ended, is hardly begun. ‘There was avother revolution in Italy—in the important town of Bologna, in the States of the Church—which probably willextend to other towns, till the Pope finds himself completely stripped of bis temporal power, and all Central Italy will be united with Northera Italy under one government, Naples being left alone in the south, if indeed revolution will permit even that State to remain quiescent. Lord Palmerston bad not completed his min- istry, but the London News says he was proceed- ing satisfactorily. Lord Jobn Russell had agreed to take the depariment of Foreign Secretary ‘The same paper says that owing to thia, coupled witb the hope that the war in Italy would be soon ended, the funds had received a fresh im pulse; while the Zierald saya that Lord Palmer- ston’s accession to office is the cause of Prussia embarking in the strife, and that Lord Derby alone preserved the peace of Europe. Thie sounds rather strange, when the whole worid krows that one word from -Lord Derby to An:- tria in the beginning would have prevented any war in Italy. But Lord Derby and his Cabinet were ou the wrong side—the side of Austria, th: Coburg interest and despotism, instead of the tide of liberty, civilization, and the Eaglis!: people. Wuo 1s To BE Speaker or THE Next Cov. oress?—The two great political factions are already hard at work upon the subject of who is to be the next Speaker, From the peentiar com- plexion of the next House, so far aa it can be un- derstood from the elections already had, it seems that the conflict will be as clos? and exciting as that which resulted in the election of Mr. Banks Upon the republican side, the names of Mr. Grow, of Pennsylvania ; Mr. Sherman, of Ohio and Mr. Blair, of Missouri, are named, Upon tho aewocratic side the principal men named are Mr. Bocock, of Virginia, and Mr. John Cochrane, of New York. The election of Mr. Cochrane would he especially welcome to all cla-ses of the people He is the most active, bard workiag aod capable member of the New York delegation, and ie thoroughly well fitted for the Speaker’s chair, Perfectly au fuit to all the rules of the Houve, und a strong inan with the people, Mc. Cocbr. would make @ capital Speaker from every point of view. Nicoer-Worsnirrinag Dyixa Oct.—The nig- ger worebippers bereabouts must eee with the deepest regret that the cause is gradually goin: under. In Kansas, where there was | blood, murder, riot and rapiue, 01! oa asco of the nigger, it appears now that he is hy ily thought of. The vote upon a constitutinval coa vention passes off without excitement, and it i difficult to tell which side has wou. In fact, it does not appear that the nigger was positively ap issue; and it is very certain tht fa less than fix months he wil be a fo will come in under a cocstiint a fa whinn the vixger will be aliagether igaored, It is trae ‘hab ao of the uewspapara are inyjug to keep the alminbty nigger ubove water, {i is up ba’ Work, He is beyond the power of the stron gest galvanic battery that can be brought to bent on bim, LL Eooxomy” IN 1 Wrong Way —We geo it staced that the Opening of the fiscal year, July 1, will be signa!tzed by the Sccretary of tne ‘Treasury in the déxapitstion of some two huo- dred of the employés of the Castom House ut thie port, Now, we-bhave always defended the principle of economy ia every branch of the public service. We believe that government should carry on its businessin precisely the aame manner that governs private persons, That rute is to employ the best men, pay them well, aad -have asufficieat number to do your work pro- perly. It does not appear that the Tressury Department recognizes this simple, common sense rule. On the contrary, the Secre‘ary pro- ceeds now to reduce the force in the New York Custom House at precisely the time whea the bueiness of the port would seem to demand its increase. At the same time, in the ematler cities there are scores of Custom House officers bask- ing in idJenees and eleepily gazing at the hori- zon without the barbor, unbroken by a solitary sail, If any heads are to go into the basket i+ should be those of the small politicians who take the government meney and collect noue of ite revenues, The business of the me- tropolis, and the imports particularly, were never greater than now, and itis not just to the merchants, and the public generally—for every one is more or lesa interested in the mat ter—to cut down the number of persons employ- ed in the Custom House when there is more thao work enough for them to do. Mr. Cobb had better try his hand upon the loafers first. Tue Dersy Bive Bookx—Tus Arremprs To Stave Orr War.—The late goveroment of Lore Derby have just issued a blue book of four bus- dred pages, setting forth the course they pur- sued towards France, Austria and Sardivia pre: vious to the outbreak of hostilities, with a view to preserve the peace of Europe. We publish to day, at great length, extracts from the correspon- dence between Lord Malmesbury aod the British Ministers at the three Courts of Paris, Vieuna and Turin, from which it will be seen that the Foreign Secretary urged very strongly on the respective governments the wisdom of patching up their differences, and the daoger to the interests of all in disturbing the peace of the Contineat. It is evident from the tone of the correspondence that the British government was di-posed to look upon Austr'aas the aggressor. It is somewhat amusing to observe the coolaess with which the cepresentatives of the now belligerent Powers, assumed an utter ignorauce of any cause for war, or any necessity for alarm, at the very mo- ment when they were all whettiog their swords for the conflict, and preparing to march their armies into the field. The correspondence wil) be found quite interesting. INTERESTING FROM WasHINGTON Our Relations with Mexico-—Contemplated Loan by American Citizens to President Juarez—Despatcaes from Ntcaragua= Cie Home and Pacific SquadrovseIndian Af- fairs, &e., &e, OUR SPECIAL WASHINGTON DESPATO. Wasatxoton, June 27, 1859, Partles have beon hers in communication with the government to see if some weans con!d not be do vised by which @ loan from private citizeus to the go vernment of Prosident Juarez, of Mexico, could be so made as to be guaranteed by treaty with our own. The plan, as faranTcan learn it, is to loan to Juarez two millions of doijars, to be secured by byyothecation of the public lands in Sonora and Chihuabua, @ clause to that effect to bo imeerted in the treaty botweon tho two governments, All parties admit the importance of sucli a joau boiug made to President Juarez, who would this be ensblet to suppress the cburch rebellion and pacify the country; but ‘he President has no autnority to tasert such a gzarantes of a private transaction in a public treaty, The government recognizes the advantages that would flow to this country by the estabtishment of paaca and a liberal government in Mexico, and the iroportance of the trade that will grow up between the two; but as this trato would flow to the advantage aud be under the cunirol of private citizens, they should make the advance and take the risk. It believes that if tne New York marcuants properly appreciated tho immense amouct of the con- merce of Mexico, and what it will become on the frm establishment of the constitutioasl government, and under the treaties now beng made with thiz country, they would raise the loan and take the risk. In the negotiations now going on with the Jreroz go vernment it is hoped that somo atvantage will reenit to it from the countenance given to 1} by our own, Whatever may be the views of the adamiaisiration in regard 9 the acquisition of territory, itis not probabie, i it has any desires that way, that apyihiog will be attsiood, Tue Juarez government is not etrong eoough to meet the o9 position it would havo to encounter at home Cuuaray ed to alienate territory. The enacuncement received that Robles bad seized the five miiliond of specie that were comiog duwa to Vere Cruz is not believed here.
