Among the disasters by the late gale, which swept with such terrific violence along the English coast, is noticed the wreck of the ship John G. Costar, of this port. The commercial advices indicate firmness and ac- tivity in the market for cotton, at extreme prices generally, and a alight advance in some instances. The sales on the 5th were 10,000 bales, and for the week 70,000. Money was in active demand at Lon- don, and consols were slightly higher. American securities were firm and quiet. The Bank of Eag- land had sustained a loss of £82,000 in the bullion department. Breadstoffs were dull, with a slight advance in wheat and corn. Great activity prevailed in England in the prepa- ration for coast defences and the war with China. Preparations at the seaports of France fur the em- barkation of troops for the same destination had already commenced. The cholera was making ex- tensive ravages among the French troops destined to invade Morocco, and had carried off several dis- tinguished officers. A report was in circulation that the Pope would grant the reforms recommended by the Emperor, after the insurgents of the Romagna had returned to their allegiance.

The prayer that was to have been delivered previous to the oration in the University was omitted, in consequence of the absence of the clergyman, who, it is reported, was provented officiating by the protest of his congregation.

During the day Broadway was promenaded by numbers of well dressed pedestri- ans, who appeared to enjoy the lovely and bracing weather. Another attempt to put coun erfeit money in circulation in this city was made on Satu day even- ing. The spurious money is a counterfeit five on the Merchants’ Bank of Albany. The police suc- ceeded in arresting two of the parties implicated, one of them a young woman, who had passed a number of the bills. The principals in the business of getting up the counterfeit have not been dis- covered, those arrested being mere diaseminators. ‘The sales of cotton on Saturday embraced about 3,000 bales, about 1,800 of which were sold in transit. The market closed on the basis of 113{c. for middling uplands, Flour was in fair demand, and the market for medium grades of State and Western flour was rather firmer, while extra brands were unchanged. Southern flour was firm, while sales were moderate. Wheat was heavy and dull for common qualities, while prime lots of white were unchapged. Among the sales reported was choice Ken- tacky white at $1 60a $1 53, tho latter an outside figure. Corp was beavy and ops to two cents por bushel lower.

Se might it be with the Jotn Brown, and some other Daniel Webster might say hereafter that from the mo- nent wheu dobn Erown swang between heaven and earth wight be dated the beginning of the end of American slavery and the disruption of the American Union, ‘ibus is the parallel rendered complete. The first Revolution began in the death of Crispus Attucks, the colored man. The seoond will be- gin in the death of John Brown, The first was a sanguinary struggle for seven long years ; the second is to be of the same character, taking its bue and complexion from the events at Hurper’s Ferry, and, according to Rev. Mr. Wheelock, inaugurating the “new era of the antivlavery cause,” in which “to moral agita- tion will be added physical, to argument action; for other devoted men will follow in the wake of John Brown, and carry on to its full resulta the work he has begua.” It is the logio of bayonets and rifles and pikes that is hence forth to convince the slaveholders of the South. This, says Mr. Andrew, is “the eteroal and heaven-sustained nature of the ‘irrepressible conflict.’ The same gentleman invokes “the holy memories” of the Old South Church, and then turns to “the battle ground of Concord.” Ralph Waldo Emerson follows up these revolutionary parallels by tracing the genealo- gy of Jobn Brown back to one of the Pilgrims in the Mayflower, and showing that his grand- father was # Revolutionary captain, and “our Captain Brown,” said Mr. Emerson, “is happily & representative of the American republic. He did not believe in moral suasion, but in putting j things through.” No doubt in the next edition * of Emeraon’s “Representative Men” the name of John Brown will have a most conspicuous > Hot unpleasant breeze from the northwest, which ‘ place. “What a favorite will he be in history,” , Brew much colder as the day wore away. continues this abolition leader. “Nothing can resist it. No man dare believe that there ex- ists in Virginia another man as worthy to live, as deserving of public and private honors.” The extremists in the French Re- volution set up a naked courtezan for public worship as “the goddess of liberty.” The orators of the second American revolution purpose the apotheosis of Joha Brown, after he dies the death of a murderer on the gallows—a man of whom a leading journalist of* his own party in Kansas has admitted that he took five respectable men, heads of families, out of their beds at dead of night, and mutilated and mnr- dered them in cold blood. This, no doubt, Garrison, Rey. Messrs. Manning and Neal, and the rest, would call “doing God service;” and the brigand and assassin, stained with the blood of his fellow-men, will be worshipped after death. His gailows will be the emblem and symbol of nigger ‘redemption, and bits of the rope with which he will be hanged will be sold at enormous prices, and be venerated like pieces of ‘the true cross.” He will be regarded as a second Saviour, whose sacrificial blood has ransomed the black race. His words of 5,666 bags, was sold on private terms, and 150 Mara- caibo sold at 12\%c. Freight ongagomonts to English ports were fair, while rates were sustained, and in s2me cases rather firmer. To Bremen 400 bales of cotton were engaged at 1}¥c. per Ib.; apples at $1 50 per bbi.; 300 bales of tobacco at $1 25, and 6,000 Ibs. bone at 1c. per Ib. Progress of the Revolution—The Meeting im Boston to Aid the Family of John Brown. The meeting at Tremont Temple, in Boston, on Saturday, for the benefit of “the family of John Brown,” a report of which appeared in our issue of yesterday, is a significant fact, a sign of the times, whose import cannot be mis- taken. Following up the letters and lectures, the editorial articles, speeches and sermons which have been already laid before our readers, and which all look in the same direc- tion, that meeting is well calculated to cause alarm throughout the land. If it stood alone, or if the rabid anti-slavery sentiment to which it gave such violent and warlike expression were confined to a few fanatics at the North, the thivg might be treated as simply ridicu- lous. But when we regard this demonstration as 2 symptom or outburst at one point of an inflammation which has seized the whole re- publican party, and when we sce the virulent poison of which that parey is full breaking forth at all points, then, indeed, there is cause The India and China mails had reached London, but brought no political intelligence. The import trade was good both at Canton and Shanghae. Aus- tralian advices to Sept. 17 had reached London: The supply of gold was maintained, the shipments since the last mail having been 240,000 ounces, of which 68,402 were by the Royal Charter, recently wrecked on the British coast. The Great Eastern left Holyhead on the 2d inst. and arrived at Southampton on the 4th, after ex- periencing a rough sea and heavy weather. The performance on this occasion was pronounced more satisfactory than her previous trips. The greatest speed attained was over fifteen and a half knots, or nearly eighteen miles per hour. By the arrival of the bark Princeton we have Georgetown, Demarara, papers to Oct. 28. There 4s not 8 word of news, politica! or maritime. ‘The administration has determined to take effec” tive measures to quell the disturbances on the Rio Grande and insure peace on the frontiers.

Governor Wise and the Richmond regiment ar- rived at Harper's Ferry last evening. The Gover- nor and three’ of the companies proceeded to Charlestown. The rumor of armed men having crossed from Ohio seems to have been without fonndation. The numerous fires, however, in the neighborhood of Charlestown have induced the citizens to anticipate some annoyance, and the slightest rumor of rescue has a tendency to excite them, however well prepared they may be for emergencies. A Buenos Ayres letter of the 28th September says:—Mr. Yancy, United States Minister, left here yesterday in the steamer Mersey for Rome, by way of England. Our correspondent at Port au Prince, writing on the 6th inst., says that the discovery of another conspiracy had prostrated business, Sixteen of the conspirators were shot on the 3d of September, and @ large number were then in prison waiting trie! for simular offences, From Java we are told that the Governor Ge- weral was still prosecuting his progress through art of the country. Since the 15th of Augast he \uadvisited Mojokerto, Kediri, Tulong:-Agong (where le inspected the marble quarries), Ponorogo, Ma- dian, Ngawi, Surakarta and Djokjokarta, where his Excellency exchanged civilities with the Sultan. for the most gloomy apprehensions, especially avhen the conservative element, the salt of the body politic, designed to preserve it from putrefaction and from being resolved into its original elements, stands back apa- hetic and inactive, waiting, we suppose, for God to interpose by some special pro- vidence, and forgetting the grand old max- m that “Heaven always helps those who help themselves.” The meeting at Tremont Temple was nume- rously attended, and a large number of ladies were present. The assemblage was called to order by Hon. John A. Andrew, and cheek by jowl with Wendell Phillips were Rev. J. M. Manning and Rev. Dr. Neal, the latter of whom “invoked the Divine blessing” and offered up prayer, thus throwing a religious ingredient into the boiling cauldron of “hellbroth,” in order to make it overflow into the fire and set the house in flames. When the clergy encou- rage insurrection and civil war, and that with the approbation of the people, and even of the gentler sex, we are come upon dangerous times. Such was the fanaticism that prevailed at the meeting, that a letter from a clergyman of milder counsels, who declined to attend, and took the opportunity of stating his rea- sons, while contradicting a public announce- ment that he was to be present, was hissed, because he said he had at first understood that both sides of the question were to be discussed—an idea which Hon- Mr. Andrew pronounced ridiculous, as it was hardly likely that at such a meeting there was any one present who thought there were two sides to the question as to whether “John Brown’s family” should be left to starve. No doubt they were all of the numerous family of John Brown, who, we are agsured by Rev. Mr. Wheelock, count million in the North. Rev. Mr. Manning rejected with scorn the notion that John Brown was insane. On the contrary, he was “the sword in the hand of a higher power, the finger of God writing upon the wall of Belshazzer’s palace the doom of tyrants.” The reverend firebrand then goes on to institute a comparison between the case of Jobn Brown and that of Crispus Attucks, the colored man, who was the first Boston victim of the American Revolution, and whose remains the people of Boston followed to the grave in long procession, and year after year celebrated the anniversary of the massacre, till at last the celebration was changed to the Fourth of July. Daniel Webster had satd that from the day of and acts will become a new gospel, and the evangelists of revolution will present it from Maine to Virginia. Mr. Emerson gave the true interpretation to the object of the meeting, and of the collection of the “ sinews of war,” when he said:—“I hope, then, that in addition to our relief to the family of Jobn Brown, we shall endeavor to relieve all thoee in whose behalf he suffers, and all those who are in sympathy with him, and not forget to aid him also in the best way, by securing freedom and independence in Massachusetts itself.” What Mr. Emerson means by the latter he explains. He says, if any citizen of that State is summoned as a witness to Virginia, the procees of law must be resisted by force. If habeas corpus will not do, that becomes a nuisance, and the citizen must rely upon the substance instead of the empty form; in other words, he must go back to the original right of resistance and revolution, and nullify the constitution and the laws. For such an object Mr. Emerson intimates that pecuniary and other aid will be wanted. Thus is the republican party hurried along on the dark stream of its destiny by a power which its moderate leaders cannot resist. The party consists of two elements—one the politi- eal, the other the fanatical. The political wants merely spoils and power, and to that end keeps up the anti-slavery agitation, in which it has no faith. The other element, the fanatical or abolition, pure and simple, is per- fectly sincere, like John Brown, and is rapidly leavening the whole party. Already the repub- licans are more than half abolitionized, and the process is still going on at a fearful speed. The moéerate men will be carried away by the resistless current, and when the politicians, who always go with the strongest side, find out the strength of the revolutionary element, they will yield themselves up to its sweeping energy, preferring to be borne on the crest of the wave rather than to be overwhelmed be- neath its weight. Tue ConstirerionaL, Loan—INcREASE OF THE Strate Dest—From the present returns of the vote on the State loan of two millions anda half, from forty-six out of the sixty-one coun- ties in this State, it appears that there is a ma- jority of 28,373 in favor of it. We referred, the other day to the indifference exhibited with re- gard to this question of increasing the State debt. The total number of votes returned, 50 far, on the loan, is 164,173, of which 96,543 were in favor of, and 68,170 against it. Seven- teen counties, including New York and Kings, are yet to be heard from, but we may safely calculate that the entire vote in the State will not much exceed two hundred thousand. The degree of apathy as to the loan question, then, may be realized by the fact that there are 600,- 000 voters in the State—such being the vote cast at the last Presidential election—of whom only one-third thought it worth while to express any opinion upon the addition of two millions and a half to the indebtedness of the State. The State debt previous to the recent election amounted to $32,441,944, of which enm the ca- nal debt alone comprised $25,166,289, The late vote in favor of the loan increased the in- debtedness of the State to the enormous sum of $34,941,944. We cannot but admire the cunning and adroit- ness of the corrupt cliques at Albany, in adopt- ing this mode of swelling the debt; for had they attempted it by direct taxation, instead of in the gentle form of a loan, the people would probably have been aroused to resistance. To increase the taxes by even a mill or two con- tinuglly might have alarmed the people—the taxpaying portion of them at all events—to such a degree that the Legislature dare not meet them, in the face of a steadily growing taxation; and thus to the wily course pursued by the lobby, and the utter indifferenee of the Gome disturbances hed been excited in the native ‘ the Boston massacre was dated the disruption * electors, we are indebted for another increase MONDAY, NOVEMBER, 21, 185% of two Cinustiay Coxtovrsy Barwaan two Mopat ons. Parson Brownlow, of Tennessee, is known throaghout the country, at least by Tepulution, though the anecdotes told of himdo bot always redound to the exoellenoe of the sa- cerdotat character, Parson Pryue, of Rochester, bes not 80 widespread a reputation, and his name will pot be familiar to the eyes of many of our readers. Both parsona appear to be at the same time editorse—so much the worse for the journalistic protession, Parson Brownlow is the editor of the Kaoxville Whig; Parson Pryne, we betieve, is in charge of Frederick Douglass’ paper while the editor-in-chief is ou bis tour of safety, pleasure und profit through the British dominions and islands, The two parsons had # public debate io Philadelpbia during the summer of 1858 on the question of Atrican slavery, the Tennesseean undertaking to prove that the institution is divinety origi- buted and sauctioned—the Rochester man hold. ing to the negative of the proposition. The debate, however, was characterized by ill- temper and stupidity, and the hopeful pair of parsons separated with a most Christian con tempt for each other, Parson Brownlow has resumed the disgusting figbt, making use this time of the pen instead of the tongue. Through the columns of the Knoxville Whig he sends his insulting chal- lenge to his fellow-preacher, taunting him with being the identical Stevens who was said to have made his escape from Harper's Ferry, and whose description appeared to coincide minutely with that of Pryne; expressing the benevolent wish that he (Pryne) would be brought to Virginia and hung, and sug- gesting the probability of his (Browalow’s) being present on the scaffold, administering in Pryne’s dying sgonies the “consolations of the Gospel.” His letter concludes with this beauti- ful specimen of Christian charity and love in re- ference to the actors in the Hurper’s Ferry ia- vasion:— We bave put some of your party to sleep with cold planks under their heads, and others of you we intend shall sleep with ropes around your necks.” In response to this pastoral of Brownlow’s, Pryne, through the columns of Fred. Douglass’ peper, politely intimates that he regards his adversary as “an offshoot of Tennessee hea- thenism—a sort of fungus growth of Tennessee burbarism;” thanks God that he never sought to damn John Brown’s soul by asking him to uccept as religion the heathenism which he (Brownlow) preached; calls him a “ joker of bad jokes—a generator of evil attempts at wit,” who has spent his life in burrowing “ after odoriferous morsels of bastard humor;” sneers at the Bombastes Furioso of Virginia (Governor Wise) and his “hysterical militia;” hopes to be saved from ‘“ Wise’s lectures and your (Brownlow’s) prayers,” and suggests that though the Tennesseean has not one characteris- tic to fit him for a chaplain, be has “an un- doubted genius for a hangman,” and that in putting on the clerical coat he had “robbed Jack Ketch of an able assistant and wandered widely from your (his) natural vocation.” The public will umdoubtedly be of the opinion, from the specimens which we have given, that both these reverend gentlemen have wandered widely from their natural voca tions. We will not say that they should have followed the occupation of a hangman, but they certainly never should have been permitted to defile the pulpit. Itisjust such men as these— such violent, foul tongued men as Brownlow and Pryne, and Beecher and Higginson and Wheelock—who disgust people with religion itself, and make them attribute to the system what only belongs to the individual. They do more to bring disgrace upon our free institu- tions than even the plug uglies and shoulder hitters who control our elections. If these fel- lows were not parsons they would probably have been rowdy politicians. Report or THE Porice Derartment.—The quarterly report of General Superintendent Pilsbury to the Police Commissioners, on Fri- day last, presents some interesting statistics of crime in the metropolis. It appears that the total number of arrests during the last quarter was 23,971, of which 3,894 were for offences against property, and 20,077 for offences against the person or the public peace. This discrepancy shows the prevalence of the rowdy element in our midst, for it is pre- sumable that the majority of these offences against the person consisted of barroom fighta, shootings and stabbings, street encoun- ters and assault and battery generally. It is unfortunate that the report does not inform us what was done with these twenty-three, or nearly twenty-four thousand criminals—how many were punished, and how many set free to recommit the offences. Among other statistics furnished by the General Superintendent, we find that the aggregate of losses by offences against property, reported to the Police Department during the quarter, was $51,005 73; and of this, $35,682 03 was recovered, leaving a balance of $15,323 70 known net loss from the depreda- tions of thieves. And further, we learn that twenty fires were extinguished wholly or par- tially through the aid of the police; twenty- seven persons were rescued from drowning; five hundred and seventy-seven stray horses, carriages and cattle were restored to their owners; four hundred and thirty-seven hurt or sick persons were properly cared for; ninety- one dead bodies were reported to the Coroner; twenty-seven abandoned infants were cared for; one thousand six hundred and fifteen lost chil- dren were restored to their parents; sixty-five lost children were sent to the Almshouse; antl fifteen thousand nine hundred and sixty-eight destitue persons were furnished with lodgings. Gen. Pilsbury also reports that five thousand and sixty-four violations of corporation ordi- nances were notified to the proper authorities What was done in these cases? We suppose that these violations constituted principally the grievance so constantly complained of by the City Inspector, namely, throwing ashes and garbage in the streets, Has the Corporation Attorney prosecuted the parties so reported, as his duty requires? We should like to know the fact. It appears that three hun- dred and fifty violations of the Sunday liquor jaw, and one hundred and nine violations of the harbor laws, were also reported during the quarter. What became of the offenders? It is manifest, we think, that a supplementary re- port from some other department is required, if the Police Department cannot furnish an- swers to these questions, in order to put the public in possession of facts whereby they may form a judgment on the efliciency or otherwise of our police system. Tux Farce oy tH Muwicwat Evecriox— Gixar Foss Anour rae Maronaity.—There are now fairly in the field four candidates for the Mayoralty, Mozart Hall presenta Fernando Wood; ‘Tammany, at its Convention on Satur- day, pominated Wm. F. Havemeyer; the second division of the Mozart army, composed of the non-contenta of the late Convention, have en- dorsed Mr. Havemeyer; the old line whigs take up J. Depeyster Ogden; and the “ People’s Party” put forward Simeon Draper. The re- publicans and Americans have yet to name their candidates; so that we shall probably bave six names io nomination before the elec- tion. It is probable, however, that the repub- lieans, at their Convention to night, may nomi- nate the Tammany candidate, Mr. Havemeyer, on the ground that it is a respectable name to go before the people with. There will, therefore, be a very lively time over the election for Mayor; but it will, never- theless, be a complete farce, for, we repeat, it is not of the slightest consequence to the pub- lic good who is chosen. The Mayor goes into office with his hands tied; he is the chief ma- gistrate of the city in name only; the authority which should be vested in him is distributed among the subordinate officials of the differeat departments, and they are the tools of the lowest and most depraved classes in the com- munity. There will probably be as many candidates for Corporation Counsel as for Mayor, though at present we believe there is but one—Samuel J. Tilden, the Tammany nomi- nee—and this is # still more worthless office. It is, in fact, only a rich placer to be bestowed upon eome individual who is certain to dig a hundred thousand dollars worth of gold out of itin one term. Asa legal proteetion of the interests of the city, itis a humbug, because the Corporation never pay the slightest atten- tion to his opinions, nor is the public purse saved a dollar in the year by his services. If the Boards of Aldermen and Councilmen— who do all the legislation, foster and encourage corrupt jobs of every kind, increase the taxes, and feather their own nests—were swept clean of the ignorant and unscrapulous politicians who have heretofore filled them, we might ex- pect some good from the obarter election. But there is no chance whatever of any such result; the same parties who usually nominate men for there positions will do so this time also, and we shall have the same old class of roughs, row- dies, beggarly politicians and ignorant incom- petentsadministering the government of the city, and plundering the taxpayers. The citi- zens of each ward might adopt a plan, discard- ing partisan candidates imposed by grogshop primaries aud corrupt conventions, and putting forward decent and reputable men; but we have no expectation of their doing so, The municipal election, then, is a farce. TREASONABLE APPEALS or Frev. Dovoiass.— The black Douglass, safe in Canada or on his way to England, utters through his newspaper at Rochester diatribes of the most truculent se- dition. In another column of this day’s Henatp we publish some extracts as specimens of the style of Fred.’s paper. He endorses the felony of John Brown as the most righteous and holy of good works, for which Brown will wear a martyr’s crown. An accessory before the fact, black Douglass thus makes himself also an accessory after the fact. He not only repudiates the notion of John Brown being mad, but compares him with the historical heroes whose names are as household words in the hearts and on the tongues of all nations, and he proclaims the murder and trea- son of that notorious brigand as the true and only mode of dealing with slavery in the South. In the meantime, Fred. himself is either laying low in Canada or on the way to that England whore aristocracy entertain no very nice or ex- clusive ideas in regard to color. There Fred., notwithatanding his sooty skin and woolly head, and the cowardice he has evinced in shrinking from the Harper’s Ferry movement, will be petted and féted, and made quite a lion of, while old Brown and his four or five jail com- panions will have to suffer the penalty of the law for crimes to which they were urged or encouraged by such recreant abolitionists as Douglass and Phillips, and Beecher and Seward, and Sumner, who have taken precious good care to keep out of harm’s way themselves. Tux Reticion or Carist as Practisep By tHE Jews.—Our Christian Pharisees, who de- nounce Sunday funerals and innocent Sabbath recreations, have, amongst their other antipa- thies, a terrible prejudice against the Jews. It would be well for them if they exemplified in their conduct but a tithe of the Christian qualities of the members of that persuasion. Wherever great wealth is accumulated by a Jew, it is almost invariably to be observed that the poor become largely the gainers by his good fortune, and this, too, without any dis- tinction of sect. The Rothschild family are the largest benefactors to the different public charities in London, Paris and Vienna, and the amount of private benevolence dispensed by them far exceeds their public donations. Baron de Goldemidt, who died recently, left by his will $50,000 to the Quakers of Great Britain, and about $200,000 to the poor of all denomi- nations, besides immense sums to the Jewish charities. Here are the practical results of the doctrines that Christ preached, but which our Sabbatarian fanatics omit to practise. When they approach in their conduct something nearer the Christian standard of Jewish mora- lity we may be disposed to listen to their argu- ments in favor of arbitrary restrictions on the poor man’s holiday. NSD eames ae se AY Niccer Caracrry ror Senv-Government.— President Geffrard, of Mayti, seems to have rather a difficult time of it amongst his colored compatriots. Although his administration thus far seems to have been marked by moderation and judgment, he has not succeeded in getting the Hayti people to appreciate the blessings of free institutions. He is continually the object of plots and conspiracies, and it is not long since his daughter was assassinated, out of pure spite, because her murderers miesed taking the life of the President. The fact is, that the no- gro has not, and never can have, the capacity to understand the difference between a despotic and a representative system of government. He comprehends only the arguments of a brute force, and therefore it is that appeals to in- surrection in our Southern States fall still- born, whilst in Hayti free institutions are again falling into discredit.

No infor- mation of an official character bas boeu received 6 apy immediate alarming stato of affairs; but looking to the troubles at Brownsville, the conduct of Gem Marques, and the general condition of Mexico, it bas been thought pro. per to increase our force along to line, The government thinks it strangy no dotalled rellable information hae been communicated up to this ume from foderal officials or from the Governor of Texas. It bas been said bore that the govern ¢ the anarchical condition of Mexico, to the possibility of ‘England and France reveoging thomselvs for the solgure of the conducta by Marquez, aud for other Causes, by making war and holding a part of the Mexican . and to general political considerations—hes & profound policy in concentrating forces on the Une—a poliey, in fact, to checkmate and take the initiative of Powers with regard to the northern States of Mexico, [ em assured tho administration bas no such immodiate object, nor is in the least apprehensive of foreign Powses setzing Mexican territory. ‘Advices of a reliable character show that Gen. Rob'es fe Uired of his connection with the church party, snd has taken steps to go over to tho constitutional party. By tho latest news negotiations were going on to this end. Mr. Mathew, the present British representative in Mexico, bad made a formal and positive demand of Mire. mon for the diegrace of Gen. Marques, and reparation for the murder of Ormond Chase. It is officially known here that Mr. Otway, late British Minister to Mexico, has beso reprimanded by bis govern- ment at home for his conduct in Mexico. ‘The Spanish Minister gave @ grand dinner to the diplo. matic corps last evening, at which there wero twenty-twe gueats, in honor of the birthday of his royal mistress, Queen Isabel. ‘THR GENERAL NEWSPAFER DESPATCH. Wasmvaro, Nov. 20, 1859. Nothing can be positively ascertained concerning the precise objects of sending large bodies of troops to the Kio Grande, further than the protection of that frontier from the attacks of the forces of Cortinas, to utterly de- stroy which is the purpose of the administration. As it was but recently supposed in official quarters that the two companies from Fort Clarke and the one from Baton Rouge would be sufficient to check the movemeats of that brigand, tbe augmentation of the troops just or- dered bas naturally excited suspicions of other contem- plated measures. Various speculations are indulged in, but the most plaa sible theory, founded on certein revelations deomed to be reliable, is that Spain, France and England moditate prompt action, for the ¢atisfaction of claims in which their subjects are interested, and which may involve the national existence of Mexico or the substitution of a monarchy under the protection of those Powers. In view of these circumstances and prebabilities, the United States may feel constrained to ocoupy the Northern part of Mexico, to secure the satisfaction of the claims of our own citizens against that country, as well as for the security of Americans on the frontier. From all that can bo ascertained, it is fair to presume that some of the vessels of the Home squadren will soon proceed to Vera Cruz and other ports of Mexico, Indecd this eeems to be certain, eo important are the reported purposes of Franco, England and Spain now regarded in official quarters.
