Afairs in the Columbian Confederacy—Expected Arrival of Mos jucra—Arrwat of the United States Commissioners— News from the South, c., dc. ‘The authorities have been trying hard for afew days past to get up @ little excitement in honor of the first an- niversiry of Mosquera’s entrauce into Bogota; but there is so little sympathy for the cause or such great laziness among the inhabitants that the attempt has been any- thing but successful; a0 the 25th finally passed off even dullef than the geuerality of dull days in Panama, It is expected that President Mosquera will arrive here from the Cauca on the 10th of Ausust. He takes his Cabi- net with him and makes his stopping places the capital for the time being; so that on bis arrival here Panama wil. become the capital of the,United States of Colombia, at leasi for some months, It is @ pet idea of Mosquera to ‘ make it so permanently; but too much opposition has been dispiayod against the project to have it realized in Congress. Now, however, that there is no fixed capital, and the President baa the power of locating it whorever he is rosiding, it 13 not improbable he may manage to keep it here permanently. In advance of his visit he hus sept about one bundred soldiers from the Cauca, and may briag three hundred or four hundred more, as that is the number allowed by recent enactments. ‘He \ven forbid that they should come; for we are much safer without them. . ‘The last nows trom the States of the fall of Vicksburg and the defeat of Lee was well secoived in Panama, ex cept by two or three of Jeff.’s admirers, who thiuk the cause gone in.

It is thought Pozet will make & very good executive officer. ‘The last news from Central America is unfavorable to the causo of Barrios, the iresident of Saivador. Some of his efcers have sold themselves to Carrera, and thus placed bim ata very great disadvantage, It is feared by his friends he cannot hold out long; and it is a pity; for be is the most liberal and most progressive man in Cou- tral America, aud very friendly to foreigners; whereas his opponents are completely priest-ridden, aad opposed to what they look upon as tho innovations of strangers.

As] underrtand that Dou Jose Manuel Hurtado, the same who represented Now Granada in the late com- missiou at Wisbington, has gone South to act in the same capacity for Peru, it is more than likely that the Ame- rican claima.ts will come out at the small end of the horn, as they did in their claims against New Granada, especially if the United States governmont a mits aa'a precedent the principle acknowledged by the commissioners In the latter case, that Americans abroad are denizens of the country they temporarily inl in consequence have no claims on their own gov! for protection while living outside of tho United Staies torritory.

Important Nows from Central America—The War Between Salvador and Gua'rmala— Va or of the Satwadovenos in Battie—Panama tobe the Capital of the Comfederacy— Chile and Boiwia at Daggers’ Drawn—Quiet in Nicara- gua, de., de. ‘The news from Central America is highly important. General Carrera, President of Grenada, holds the cities of Santana and Sovsonate, the principal frontier towns of Salvador iis tuccess is due to the blackest treason on the part of of General Goozalez, whe was second tn command of the army—a man leaded with favors and honors by Presi dent Par: os, who bad the most implicit confidence in him, ‘Thore appears to have been an understanding among the conspirators that they should pronounce against Pre- eident Burris simultaneously in the capital and the army, sake j cacy with Carrera and nominate General Gonzulez President, A brother of the General, Jose Antonio Gon zalo7, was tho leader of the conspiracy in the capital. ‘The armies were oniy four leagues apart, that of Salvador boing at Santana, and Geveral Carrera at Chalejuapa, when President Parrios, recoiving a bint of what was about to tranapiro, left his army on the morning of the ‘28th of June and arrived at the capital the same after. noon, beving ridden about twenty leagues in w severe rain storm. Jose Antonio Gonzalez, startled, went to meet bim, and escorted him with every Fign of rexpect to fis house, decamping the same night with bis follow conspirators.

The Pacific Steam Navigation Company’s fine steamer Peru, Commodore Bloomfield, has made another splendid ron, having accomplished tho trip from Panama to Guaya- quil, eight hundred and thirty-five miles, in the unprece- dentedly short space of sixty-nine and a balf hours. On the 18th of July the entire chain gang were released from prison and turned loose upon the community by a recent law of the State Legislature. ‘The steamer Bogota arrived at Panama on the 22d of July from Valparaiso, which port she left on the 3d. ‘The Rogota, tn addition to mails and passengers, brought $336,435 in specie for transmission to Southampton. CHILE. Chile and Bolivia are preparing to fight for the posses- sion of the Majillones rocks and the Atacama desert. We learn from a Bolivian decree of the Sth of June that the government of Bolivia bas been authorized to declare war with Chile if an amicable settlement on the part of Chile 43 not offered, and there is very little likelihood that Chile, which at present bas possession of Mejillones, will do anything but propose to keep them. ‘The cultivation of cotton is getting some attention. A sample of first quality of cotton has been exhibiting in Santiago as produced in Chile. Business the past fortnight has gone on quety, There “have beon large shipping arrivals, among them eight car- goes of English coal.

PERC. ‘The news by this mail is not very important. The commission from the United States government to Peru arrived last mail,and have been well received in Lima. The claims to be adjusted are of considerable im- rtance. Tho dispute between the Peruvian government and that of Brazil. about the rights of navigation of the Amazonas, has been settiod in the most friendly manrer. The com- amd who, on the part of Brazil sought exclusive privitege, ave departed from this claim and have made public in- timation of the same; and with enterprise to follow up the explorations which have been made, and to use the facilities which both the Peruvian and Brazilian govern- ments now afford by their steamers, the presently unin- habited fertile valleys of the Amazonas would be richest settlements in the world. From the Mercurio del Vapor, of Valparaiso, July 1.) ‘ne President has been authorized to enter into a con- tract, for the term of four years, for a line of steamers between Valparaiso, Port Montt and intermediates, grant- ing a subsidy not exceeding $50,000 per annum. Tenders will be called for, In December this year a new floating dock, at Valpa- tnigo, two hundred and fifty fect long and eighty broad, is expected to be ready for use. A cargo of timber for it edo from California and another is expected from ivia. An exolusive privilege to plant cotton In this republic has been solicited of the government, and a samplo, equal in quality to the best description of this article, has been exhibited in Santiago. This branch of industry would be of immense advantage to the country. particularly at ea all cotton goods have reached such a fabu- lous price. Our mines and the works on the frontiers goon without interruption. We are in possession of the following news from Ta- bit: :—-The Peruvian brig Misti, formerly the Ancud un- der Chilian colors, has been detained by the French au- thorities. The Peruvian schoouver Cora, formerly the Ninita under the Chilian flag, has been sold by the same authorities. Tho brig Mercedes A. Wholey, also Peru- vian prorerty, has been sold for $1,200, and the Guayes, a Peruvian brig, was to share the same fato; but from the shipping list of Tahiti we learn that the last vessel had been re'eased, and was on her way to Guayaquil. H.C. M, ships Resolucion and Triunfo will ina few days leayd for California, calling at the principal ports on the coast. From San Francisco they are expected to pro- ceed on their homeward voyage by way of Cape Horn. ‘We tnay mention that two new periodicals will shortly be published at this port, one in French and the other in English; the former without mixing in the internal poli- ties of the country, and the latter exclusively of a com- mercial tendency. THE ARG REPUBLICS AND URUGUAY. {From the Morcurio of Vatparaiso, July 2. D. Jose Maria Cabral, deputy of the province’ of Cor- rientes, has proposed to the Congress of the Argentine re- publics to appoint a committee to investigate the differ. ent cases that have becn mentioned as proofs of General Urquiza’s Pm say: A in the revolutions in Mendoza, ‘San Juan, San Luis, ba, Tucuman and Catamarca, ‘This took piace on the 20th of May, since which time the whole country has been greatly alarmed and is anxiously awaiting the result, ‘The General bas directed an address to ail bis friends, vindicating bimseif of ail the charges. After baving suffered a defeat at Lomas Maneas, in Riola, and a loss of ebout 200 men, Penalosa nevertheless went to San Luis and took possession of tne dietrict of Renea, sit ated about thirty miles from the capital, in which'city an invasion was greatly foarod, as it wa well known that Colonel Sands, although ‘gesting th upper band at Lomas Blancas, could not bring rein- forcemonts, being short of horses. At Mendoza Penes losa’s arrival at San Luis caused @ great sensation, and five hundred men were ordered to Villa de Ia Paz to watch his movements; but when this detachment was on its way to that place news was received of Chacho’s having passed Sierra de Cordoba, orders were then immediately sont for the division to return to Mendoza. It is said that Penalosa was closely pursued by Colonel Iseas with a large number of men. Eevolution is spreading all over Uruguay. General Flores was stated on the 28th of May to py the inte- rior of the republic with a heavy force, and was su) even to be purawing Medina. Up to that date ail commu- nication with Montevideo was cut off, owing to numerous rmall troops of insurgents occupying the neighborhood Of that city.

The most important item from San Juan is the pro- cedure against Clavero, who baa been placed at tho dis- posal of onto, the governor of that province. All the inhabitants of San Juan are ill disposed towards the prisoner, on account of the part he took in the exeention of Dr. aberastain. Tho oxcitement was so great that it was feared Clavero would be maltreated when brought into the city; but the werthy widow of Dr. Aberastain jnterceded for him, so that the governor allowed him to enter at night, in order that the people should not know of his arrival till ho was safe im the prison, Nevada and the War. ‘Tho following letter from Rov.

Judging Crom present indications the meeting will prove a highly succésaful one, as fe management i* cha- racterized by wore than ordinary liberality, and tho sta- Dies of thoroughbreds on the spot are upusually numer ous, comprising all the best racing stock in the United States now running on the turf, The town iteelf is crowd- ed to overflowing with visitors, all the hotels being com- pletely full, and accommodations very difficult to obtain. ‘The weather, also, although zsomewhat oppres- sively hot, is yet favorable for the racing. Tho entire management of the meoting if {a the hands of Mr. John Morrissey, of New York, upon whom the whole pecuniary responsibility rests, His long and extensive experience in turf matters, however, is a sufficient guarantee that the details of tho moeting will be effectively carried out under his direction, and of this the result of the first day’s racing bas afforded ample confirmation. ‘The race course is about a mile distant from the town, and we regret that we cannot speak in very high terms of ita adaptability for the purpose. The track, which is somewhat elliptical in shape, forms the outer ¢ircumference of a thinly planted grove of trees; so that {t ig impossible from the stand to see the horses for more than a quarter of the distance around, and that is at the Start and tho finish of the race.

A large number of the sporting and turfmen of New York, Boston, Paterson, nian and the cogs States were also er race upon the programme was a sweepstakes for three year ‘olds, tatle heats, $200 entrance, $50 forfelt, with $300 added by the propritor; the winner of the three year old stakes at Paterson or Philadel, to carry five were the entries:—F.

The superiority of Captain Moore avd the filly Lizzie W. was so well known, and the success of one of the two considered so ee. & certainty, that tho owners of the other horses deemed it useless to start them, and the raco was consequently left to the two above named horses. Their meeting in this race has for some time been anticipated with an unusual degree of interest, as they have been looked upon as the two best three year olds in Amorica, and this race would de- cide the mocted question of their superiority. In the pool betting, Captain Moore was taken for choice, bringing about $110 to the filly’s $100, at which relative prices an immense amount of money was inves! First Heat,—Captain Moore, who had the inside track, led round the first tarn, when Lizzie went up and deprived bim of it, carryingon the running ata rattling pace. Going along the far side the riaer of the colt went up, and fioding he had ber safe, pulled back his horse. an quietly waited ghis time until turning into the straight run-in ), when he ‘cl and racing with her a few strides, drew away, and came home a gallant winner by half a legnth in 1:2934. Second Heat,—Any odds on the colt, $100 to $16 not eli- citing any offers to back the filly, whose owner, Dr. Wel- don, stil! retained hts confidence in her ability to beat him. He took a lead of a length at the start, and this he increased throughout the first three quarters, when tho filly got to his quarters, collared and passed him, after a sharp strugglevwinning the heat by half a length in 1:32. Tnird Heat.—The backers of Captain Moore were still ‘sanguine that be would outlast the filly, and offered $50 to $40 on him. Almost directly after the start, and betore reaching the first turn, Sewell, the clever little jockey of the filly, took a pull at her, and allowed the colt to go ‘ahead with a lead of » couple of lengths. The friends of the colt wero in ectasies, and joy- fully proclaimed that “she could never catch him again.” When, however, they next appeared in view, coming round the last turn into the homestretch, the filly, to their surprise, was seen leading, and thissad- vantage was maintained throughout, the horse being manifestly outpaced, and was finally beaten by a length in 1:3044, Lizzie W. being prociaimed the winner of the hoat and race. ‘The next race was a two mile dash for a purse of $800 with the following entries:—J.

W. Clay by Mr. Morrissey—sold for $220: Thunder, own brother to the celebrated race horse Lightning, sold for $200; Echo for $40, and Sympathy for $11. In one pool of $824 the latter waa actually sold for $3. Tho two for mer were backed for immense sums, the Canadian turf- meu supporting their horse, Thunder, very epiritedly. A good start was effected, Thunder first showing in front, with J. W. Davidson, ridden by Gilpatrick, in close ut- tendance, Sympathy three lengths behind and Echo last. These positions remained unaltered the first time round, the rider of the gray riding with wretched judg- riding his head off.” waiting patiently, and geetng.as he imagined, his only Tival being gradually “pumped out,”’ until he had not an offort left in him, called upon his horse, and, afier a short struggle, passed Thunder, Put an unexpect- ed danger from another quarter now showed itself; for Sympathy, coming with a strong rush on the inside, and answering her rider's call with @xtraordinary gamenes, passed both Thunder and Gilpavrick, and won a magnia- gent race, by half a length, in 3:02. ‘The result took every one by surprise, as few. even of those who bad bought her for such a trifling price in the pools, anticipated her success. Her owner, ()r. Weldon and a well known patron of the turf from Paterson, stuck to her, although this was hor first race, on account of her breed (being full sister to Lizzio W., a winner of the first race). and won over $500 at an outlay of about $20. ‘The doctor was warmly congratulated on his double success, and on the possession of two such ing young racing Gillies as Lizzie W. and Sympathy, To-mor- Tow twa races are set down for decision, and good sport is anticipated.

Taxation of Richmond Under Rebel Ru! {From the Richmond Whig, July 30. The books of the Commissioners of the Revenue for the different districts iu this city show the following amount taxes to be into the State Treasury by the propert; folders and o' citizens of Richmond :— “i “s .

In former years one-eleventh was con- sidered a very hizh proportion for her to bear; but as our ‘«4good old mother”’ has taken care of us so far, and as she js in need (f funds, we have no doubt that the tax bills ‘will be paid promptly and cheerfully. The real estate assessment is nearly equally divided ‘between the three districts; but as @ large majority of the business men live ‘up town,’” Le age ist in tho first district is much emailer tham in either of the others. Profits, in which the increase in those two wards chiefly consists, have amounted to a comparatively small sum in the lower ward. Doaging the First Conseriftion.

It was, however, argued that the consuls bad been useful to the south cagmnodiums of imparting correct information; but this idea was combatted by ——, who is an intimate of Austin Layard (the loreign Under Yecre- tary), who declared that only in 2 few instances was that true; for the consuls generally dished up their despatohes (official) with the bugaboo story of same frightened Irish- man or ighman, as the case may bo, and, without sift: ing them to the end, gave thom at what they were worth, Some of these undigosied compluints would have made the Southern government only fit rulers of savages; but the Foreign Office was 80 satisfied about their absurdity that even oredulous Lord John was not able to bring him- self to make a serious note of them. And this evil more than outweighs any imaginable good coming from theso conguls. There is not a sane man in Fngland who would or could make objections to the expulsion of agents who do net recognize your authority, and are of no use what- ever to you or to us, as matters Low stand, The South Expects Nothing but Evil from Great Britain. From the Richmond Examiner, July ben Those biessed persons who expected nothing from Engiand are filled to-day, Periodically there is a fuss in the British Partiament over the Southern confoderacy. Once in six months at least, a ‘notice’ is served on the world of a “motion” to be made by Mr. Roebuck, Mr. Linds:y or Gibson. With periodic regularity the motion is withdrawn, and the speculation which rested on it fatis like a house of cards. The last edition of the old story is found in to day’s paper. Roebuck has been duly manipulated by the British Ministry He is a wiser and eadder man than when he returned from France, and, “much against bis own judgment,” ‘‘asks that the mo- tion be discharged." He i8 unvrilling to tramme! the *otion of the government, and jeaves the affairs of France and the Southern confederacy entirely in the hands of the “noble lord at its head.’? 80 the farthing rush-light of hope blinks and goes ont once more. It t8 time that qbis farce should tire the andience. After all the proofs we have had of the settled determina- tion of the Fnglish government and people to do no act ‘that shail tend to abridge this war or heip the Southern confederacy, or involve itself in a quarrel with the United States, the most senguine and credulous should be at last incapable of further haliu tion. We have no worse enemies in the world than the British government and the majority of the British natiqn. Not that they are the friends of the North. ‘They bate the whole American people, and gloat on their ruin. All their diplomocy has been and will over be employed to prolong the war, by preventing the interference of any other nation, The South never had, and vever will have, reason to expect aught but evil from Great Britain, But in no event need any one expect Great Britain to do any- thing more than intrigue in this or any other im broglio, will not only never go to war, but will not take any step that may possibly in volve a future appeal to arms In judging that country, and in anticipating its action, one fact shou'd nevor be lost sight of—that, im the present generation, it as the most Lingerny | nclined of all nations. The British pe ple of our day have been educated into a horror of ‘War as the most costly of all extravagances. Napoleon detined the English to be a nation of shopkeepers. *The detinition was then but rartially true—and they con vinced nim of it before they were done with him. The British was ‘nce @ combative as well asa mereantt'e race. But it is no longer go y wars have saddied i: with an incredible debt, and weigt monstrous taxation. The peonle who live in those islands have been taught by every circumstance of their lives that wars mean taxes ‘Ihey pay the prico of their an- cestors’ glory, and have fixed deep in their hearts the conviction that glory costs more than it is worth. The British people will not fight any more. A minixtry that appears to keep the nation out of the ring where broken heads are plenty, and brickbats flying around, will always find itself on the strong side. and never have the least ditliculty in settling the Roebuoks and their like But France is a very different entity. ‘The French, too, have bad their wars. But they have not swatiowed the opiate Of @ national debt. From time to time France has coolly repudiated its debt, and neither this nor any other generation of Frenchmen are deaf to the voice of active ambition To be popular in France, the ruler for the time must bestir himself, must enlarge the sphere of French iafluence,aad treat tie people to a dish of carnave now and then. Napoleon is wise in bis generation, He knows better than the Rois Faineats. Even if he had not Mexic’, it would be reasonabie to look for his finger in the American pic. But the possession of Mexico appea's to render his interference compulsory, whenever it shuli be- come evident that this confederacy will cease to exist without it, The news which the reader will flod else where in this paper renders the probabilities to which we bave referred doubly strong, Tat uews res- ders certain the only point in the case which was doubtful It was not entirely ascertained whether the French invasion of Mexico was to create a European government there, or sitaply reduce the uative organiza tions to order—whether the Freneh interference was to be permanent or temporary. The movement to deciare Maximilian of Austria, or some other whom Napoleon shal) dictate, the nominal sovereign of Mexico, which the Pye mohgil have put on foot, settles that question beyond @ douvt. A vew throne is about to be erected, whose occupant shail be the puppet of France; that /dee Napolemienne which has already been once embodied in a Kingdom of Itaiv, and Victor Emanuel is to receive a new sbape, habitation aud name on the American covtinent. But it wiii soon turn to airy nothing ouce more-that tarone ‘will prove an unsteady seat. that crown will be a fragile headdress, that sceptre will break like a reed, on the diy when the subjugation of the South shall be comploted, and the power of the United States be restored. To pre- vent this consummation is now a political necessity for tho master of France. NATIONAL THANKSGIVING. Proclamations of the President, the Govern- or of New York and the Mayor of This City.

Wepnespay, Augyst 5—6 P. M. The approach of the holiday rather checked business to-day, and led many people to close up operations. Money was in good demand, and the rate was rather 6 than 6 per cent. Toward the close of business hours, however, the offering at 6 was again in excess of the demand. Money is pour- ing into New York from all parts of the.country, the Stock Exchange being the only place where a inan can make his money earn 5 or 6 per cent per annum, and still retain the control of it. First class mercantile paper sells at 5 a 5% per cent. Gold continues inactive; transactions are now very limited, and there appears to be little speca- lation in it, either for the rise or for the fall. This morning the price was 1275 a 74; in the afternoon it sold at 12794. Exchange continues dull at 1403 a l4ltg. The demand for bills from the trade is very light; importers generally expect to bny at considerably lower rates when Charleston falls. The stock market was steady this morning, with some irregularity in the movement. The favorites of the day were Harlem, which advanced 1% per cent, and Galena, which was strong at an advance of %. The rest of the market was steady, after some fluctuations, at the prices of yesterday after- noon. Erie sold as high as 107%, and as low as 106%; Southern old rose to 92, and fell back to 914: Illinois rose 24 por cent; Reading rose %, then fell back 14; Pittsburg rose 24, and fell back asmuch. Governments were very strong at a fractional advance. State stocks were steady; bonds neglected, as usual of late. At the close of the session the sellers for a time outnumbered the buyers, and a concession of 1{ @%% per cent was made all round to effect sales. A good many ope- rators appeared to be closing their accounts, with a view to spending the holiday in the country. At the one P. M. call the market was steady, and at the close rather strong. In the afternoon Harlem was better, with a goo’ demand. The rest of the market was steady, with rather a strong tendency.
