Genera} Prim, at ali events, has plaved a remarkably large figure in this intervention business for him now to get out of such s small hole; and the man he Mhought be could crush (and leagued with Sir Charles ‘Wyke to do it) has been the man who has upset them all. To commence to blubber now and cry “pad faith” will not do. Sir Charles Wyke has re- peatedly told the Mexican government that they were ‘anwortby of trust—a faithless, treaty-breaking people. ‘She Bpanish Ambassadors for the last seven years have een calling every government that got im pow. er sli manner of names to be used in the Deunds of free spoken diplomacy.

Tenclose you a number of documents which you will Gnd interesting. The manifesto of General Almonte is the most important,as being the first soa turned on Mexican soil for Maximilian. We are now to see the ‘effect of this document on the country. The real effect will, perhaps, come slow. The thinking people of wealth @are not speak now, and the first to hail thenew move tment will be the scoria of the land. These, Isuppose, will be employed as contra-guerrilleros, and as such will relieve ‘ouch the march of the French troops. Although I say the scoria of the land will flock to the new standard, ghey will be of the same material that makes up nine- tenths of the constitutional army. Your watch and parse would suddenly disappear in the company of either, without any mystery, and your life would be by no weans safe. It is supposed that the French commenced their ad- wance on Chiquibuite last night, and have to-day passed the great stronghold. Zaragoza was in the rear of the French with his forces, which were variously esti- ‘mated at from three to fourteen thousand. Zaragoza was a6 Orizaba on the morning of the 1%h with three thou- sand men, and it was supposed he was going to make a precipitate march te Chiquihuite, and that if he had any more men they had taken another course. Two to one Gey got lost, and never found the point they were sim- ingfor, Ina day orsowe must have the story of the Gret stronghold of Mexico, and how it fell or was left un- protected. If the Mexicans are half so keen for spilling the last drop of their blood as President Juarez tries to make out in the manifesto I enclose, they will now soon have a chance; but be assured their fighting propensities ‘will not cost much blood, and that Don Benito, with all his finely told falsehoods, will be among the first to bolt out from Mexico, with his old, untiring, make-shift Ca.

The plain meaning of this is that the United States will sooner or later interpose between Mexico and Europe.

The treaties agroed to at on the 19th of Febru- ary last, with the allied forces, have been broken by the French, and, witboat auy eause whatever, they have provoked us to takeuparms.

They deserve our thanks for such hoaorabie conduct. New sacrifices now impend over us; new fatigues we must endure, and new lea must we fight. But, before the sublime idea of our liberty, nothing can make us quail. Death itself must be indifferent tw us; and, above all things—absolutely above everything—in this moment, we should have no other thought than the wel- fare of our unfortunate country, aad no other object but her detence.

The government of the republic, always and yct ready and prepared, solemnly declares to exnaust ail coucilia- tory and honorable means of an adjustment, in view of the declaration of the French plenipoteutiaries, cannot and will not assume any other modeof procedure than to oppose force by force, and to defend the nation from the unjust aggression that now threavens her.

For call loans the rate is4a6 per cent, and for paper of the highest grade the same figures. Certificates of indebtedness sell for 9994. Foreign exchange for the steamer closed at 118% a 114 for bankers’ bills, with a general indis- position on the part of bankers to sell at the lower rate, and an equally decided disinclination on the part of the public not to give the higher one. Gold fell at one time this morning to 102%, but afterwards rallied to 102%, closing 10234 bid. ‘The fall in gold since Monday has been caused by the sales of operators for a fall, who borrow the coin for delivery, and look to their interest account to bring them out. It is under- stood that the short sales of gold are less pro- fitable than they have been. A good many of the seller-sixty contracts are maturing, and there is a pretty lively inquiry for the precious metal for delivery. Merchants who have been buyers of coin on long option are taking it up, laying it aside and borrowing on it at 4 percent. This is by far the cheapest way of buying gold. At the commencement of business to-day there was @ general desire tu realize profits, caused tainly by General McClellan’s telegram received last evening. Government stocks, State stocks and raiiway shares were all pressed for sale at a slight decline from yesterday’s price. At the de- cline, however, new purchasers came in, and the market rallied. During the morning board the news of the victory at Williamsburg was re- ceived, and, subsequently, the details of the fight at New Orleans and the intelligence from North Carolina. These successive favorable re- ports led to a general demand for stocks, and the decline of the morning was at once recovered. Between the boards the market was firm. At the second board prices were fully maintained, and the market closed strong. Governments opened to- day at 101% for the coupons, rose to 101% by midday, and closed 102 bid. Seven-thirty notes sold in the morning at 102, and closed at 10344. At the first board the decline in Tennessees was 2%%, im Missouris %, in Pacific Mail 4, in New York Central 44, in Erie %, Erie preferred 144, in Hudson %, in Michigan Southern 34, in Michigan Central 13;, in Minois Central 94, in Galena %, in Toledo %, kc.

The enormous increase in the earnings ef the latter road during the months of April and March last—amounting to something like $200,000—has attracted the atten- tion of speculators. The stock touched 60 when the road was earning considerably Jess money than it is doing at present, and when there was no paper currency and no speculative excitement.
