The news report by the Atlantic cable is dated yesterday evening, August 12, The Czar of Russia and King of Prussia met in interview near Wiesbaden. Napoleon’s speech at ‘Troyes is variously interpreted by the English press— for peace and for war. The North-German Confede- ration proposes to reform the laws relative to emigra- tion to the United States by international negotiation. The Hungarian Army Reconstrucaion bill passed the Legislature. The Duke de Montpensier protests against his exile from Spain. Consols, 93%, money. Five-twenties, 72 in Lon- don and 75% @ 75% in Frankfort. Paris Bourse dull. Cotton firmer, with middling uplands at 9%d. a 10d. Breadstutfs quiet. Provisions firm, without marked change in prices, MISCELLANEOUS. Telegraphic advices are received from Jamaica to the 10th inst. Troops had been sent to Nassau. The laying of a cable telegraph to Havana is to be under- taken immediately. A French gunboat had arrived at Kingston with fifty Haytien refugees on board. The steamer Columbia, Captain Van Sice, from Havana August 8, arrived at this port yesterday. The English steamer Narva is now in Key West, where she is taking In coal preparatory to leaving for England, vid New York. Thus it appears that she has been compelled to abandon the attempt to raise and relay the second cable. A smailer steamer is expected to undertake the dificult task ere long. The military commission in Cuba is actively engaged ferreting out the desperadoes who infest the island and sending them to their last account. One thou- sand and twenty coolies were landed in Havana last month. The Spanish naval authorities report that the Rayo (R. R. Cuyier) was going to pieces on the beach at Carthagena, Colombia. The balance of the news by the Columbia is unimportant, Gt Our Mexico city correspondence is dated July 29, ‘The news has been very generally anticipated by our telegraphic despatches by way of San Francisco and through the Guif cable. Escobedo had arrived atthe capital and reported his operations in Querétaro by which he defeated the rebels in the Sierra Gorda. He ‘waa expected to leave immediately for Matamoros, where he will watch the movements of fllibusters in the United States. General Diaz is to go to Guatemala on an important mission. Our Venezuelan advices are to the 22d ult. Mona- gas was at Valencia in pursuit of Bruzual. The only States that sustained Falcon are Barquisimento and Tulla. Attorney General Evarts’ opinion in relation to the case of Mr. Rollins, the Commisstoner of Inter- nal Revenue, who offered his resignation to the Presi- dent, to take effect on the appointment and confir- mation of a successor, is published. He argues that Commissioner Rolling by the Civil Tenure act is en- ‘Utled to hold omice until his successor is conirmed, and therefore the office is not vacant. Captain Hotchkiss, of the bark Henry Trowbridge, hasarrived at Halifax with his wife and daughter and five of the crew. One of the captain's children was lost. The vessel was struck near Neverzink by @ heavy sea, which shifted her deck load and made her unmanageable. Several attempts were made yesterday by Captain Samuels to break up the hull of the wrecked steamer Scotland, which lies across the channel near Sandy Hook lighthouse. Anew patent powder was used ‘with good effect, and several rents were made in the hull. The Alabama Legislature yesterday falled to take any action on the Governor's veto of the bill provid- ing that the Legisiature cast the electoral vote of the State for President, and adjourned until the drst Monday in November. The North Carolina Legislature yesterday fatled to pass the State Police bill. A bill providing for the payment of the interest on the public debt was passed in the House, but the Tax bill has not yet been acted upon. The yacht squadron departed from New London ‘and arrived at Newport yesterday. A large meeting of journeymen tradesmen was held at Cooper Institute lasi evening to uphold the bricklayers in their strike. The reports of the cattle disease do not cause as much excitement now as at first, but the beef mar- ket is still considerably affected. The body of Hon. Thaddeus Stevens was embalmed yesterday and will le in state at the Capitol to-day. On Friday the body will be taken to Lancaster, where the funeral services will be performed and the re- Mains will be buried in the Gettysburg Cemetery. Yesterday the members of the Tallors’ Inter- fational Union Convention visited the President at the White House, Mr. Johnson received the repre- sentatives of his old craft with great cordiality, and no remarks whatever of a political character were indulged in. The Engraving and Printing Bureau of the Trea- sury Department 1s busily engaged in preparing the five different stamps required by the new revenue law to be affixed to barrels of spirits. These stamps ‘will be in the hands of the collector of each district in the United States before the 1st of November next, ‘The Louisiana Senate yesterday adopted a mino- rity report favoring the right of three democratic members to retain their seats. A resolution protesting against the Canadian Con- federation has passed the Nova Scotia Assembly. ‘The propriety of an appeal to the peopie on the sub- Ject is canvassed. The ship Emerald Isle, with eight hundred and seventy-one Mormons, arrived at Quarantine yester- day. Thirty-seven deaths and three births occurred on the voyage from Liverpool. The Twenty-second regiment departed last night for Long Branch, where they go into camp for five days. We publish elsewhere this morning a full account Of the crops in the various sections of the country, and the yield as compared with last year. The North German Lioyd’s steamship Hermann, Captain Wenke, will leave Hoboken at two P. M. to- day for Southampton and Bremen.

The Presidential Oampaign. Two points in the canvass are more im- portant than all others—the history of the radical party and the nigger vote. For eight years the republican party has been in power, and the final results, as seen by the people, are the derangement of all the machinery of government, an almost incredible corruption in office and a weight in taxes that bears com- merce and labor to the earth. Will the people longer have patience with a party that has such a history? This is the question of the hour. Is there any fear in our future that should move the people to trust this party again even despite the fearful chance that it may continue the same destructive career that has already been so disastrous to the national prosperity? Can any other party inflict upon us evils worse than those we now suffer as the consequence of radical misrule? Reconstruc- tion by a system of legislation that delibe- rately forges calamity for a whole people and prepares the social ruin of ten States to secure power to a coterie of politicians—this is the political crime that stamps the radical faction as utterly damnable before the people. Men inquire what the faction would stop at that would purchase such an end by such means, and they know that it will not stop at any- thing sacred in the law and will respect the rights of the people in the North as little as it has done in the South. Does the name of Grant furnish any guarantee for the future of the radicals? The people are not ready to believe it. Grant is politi- cally only @ promise and a. possibility. Re- spectable men are not willing to doubt his honesty or his upright purpose; but these do not always qualify for success in such a strife as he must control to save the people from his party. He may prove capable; he may not, and it is a time when the people cannot trust their future to such a chance. Therefore the doom of radicalism seems to be burned into the popular brain, and on such reasoning as we have hinted the people appear to drift toward what they regard as the least of two evils, without faith in the republicans and little hope in the democrats, Men on either side count for little; it is the history of the radical party that condemns it. Democracy has a bad history, too, but its sins are trivial by comparison. If this faction ever desired to reconstruct society it was in the interest of the white man. The word taxation hardly occurs in its history, and it never aimed a blow at the Supreme Court or sought to cripple the gov- ernment in the person of the Executive. It sympathized with the South in the war, and that can be forgiven by a people who are at last coming to look upon the republicans as the South looked upon them when the waft began. If, therefore, the history of the democracy were darker than it is the history of radicalism would be infinitely beyond it in infamy. Itis upon these broad views and judg- ments of parties that the pedple move. The common mind averages great results by pro- cesses of itsown. Isolated facts are forgotten, this or that virtue or vice seems to pass away ; but the balance of history is made up at the polls, and Kentucky indicates the tendency. If the reaction of the public mind stimulated by the history of the radical party does not sweep the whole Nurth the negro vote will be of the first importance in the struggle. It may save the South to the radicals, but it may give it to the democrats, and, regarding the possi- bility of a fairly divided North, Sambo may finally hold the balance of power. Some facts indicate that the negroes may go very largely with the democrats. Dull as we may con- sider the whole race, they have seen enough to be disgusted with radical fricndsbip, and are certainly seeking political allies out- side that party. Negroes from the beginning had determined upon their part of the alliance with the radicals, and thus formed expecta- tions that the latter could not meet. Confisca- tion tells the story in a word. Northern re- straint on the dominant party, even its worst moments rendered it impossible for it to carry out the virtual compact; but the negroes will not understand that. They only cherish resent- ment at the men who promised, but did not perform. Confiscation, by giving the negroes a real as well as a political independence, might have made it possible that they could sustain a political opposition in the Southern States; but without a hold on the land this was not possible. Without the power, therefore, to make their political independence effective, with social facts, more cogent than radical orators, forcing upon them that their interests were identical with the interests of the people among whom they must live; with a heart- breaking disappointment in view of this and a bitter readiness to visit their resentment on those who had raised such high hopes only to betray them, the niggers inevitably go over to the other side. There is nothing strange in this, It would be strange if it were other- wise, for they achieve political revenge and act on the best view they can take of their own welfare. The case ofthe Presidency, therefore, judged by the main facts seems to stand thus:—The history of the radical party is such that the peorXg will not trust it again on any terms, and this conviction threatens to give the North to the democrats. If, however, this fails, there is a possibility that Grant may be beaten by losing the whole South through the defec- tion of the negroes, who will go over to the democrats, partly led by the natural influences of association and partly by resentment for the relinquishment by the radicals of that measure that was from the first regarded as necessary to sustain their political opposition to their former masters. Diskagit AND THR Unitep States,—There is a noticeable point in the speech of Disraeli, the English Premier, at the banquet given by the Lord Mayor of London, as fully reported in the Hzrarp yesterday, and that is that the relations between the United States and Great Britain find a more prominent place than they have hitherto done on such semi-festive but really formal occasions. It has been the habit for ministerial orators to deal with the policy of the government in relation to European Powers with considerable unction, and leave their allusions to our country to fill up inci- dentally the tail end of their discourse. But Mr. Disraeli has so far diverged from the time- honored rule as to make the ‘‘subjects of mis- understanding” with his transatlantic brethren, ® matter of leading import in his address, We infer from this fact and the romarks of the Premier that the government of Great Britain is prepared to settle the “‘misunderstanding”— which means, of course, the Alabama clains— upon the only ground which this country can recognize as satisfactory, and that is a full and fair liquidation of the debt incurred by Eng- land through means of the damage done to our commerce during the civil war. ‘The Marine News and the Quarantine and Telegraph Jobbers. For the past fifty years the marine reporters connected with the New York press have been in the habit of visiting the vessels arriving in the harbor and collecting the news for publi- cation in the papers. In that whole time they have never abused their privilege ; and so im- portant and valuable have been their labors to the commercial community and to the public generally that while laws have been passed under various pretences restricting the right of boarding in-bound ships no one in authority has evér thought of interfering with the duties of this useful class of reporters, Thirty years ago the HERALD gave a new impetus to this branch of the newspaper business, which had been theretofore conducted without much in- dustry or enterprise, and the marine news has ever since formed one of the leading features in New York journalism. In November of last year, actuated by a desire to lay before our readers the very fullest and latest intelli- gence from the shipping, in which so many and such vast interests are involved, and sensible that the system of collecting the marine news then prevailing was susceptible of great im- provement, we organized a harbor force of re- porters, with two steam yachts for constant service, and were thus enabled to furnish the public every day with a complete and correct list of all the arrivals up to two o’clock in the morning and with every item of ship news worth recording. Prior to November, 1867, no vessel could be obtained below the old Quarantine grounds at Staten Island; but under our newand costly arrangement our steam yachts have boarded homeward bound ships when fourteen or fifteen miles outside Sandy Hook, thus enabling us to publish their arrival many hours before they reached the lower Quarantine. This was an advantage our mer- chants and shippers had never before enjoyed, and they soon discovered that in this, as in all matters of enterprise, the HERALD beat the other city papers out of the field. We claimed no new privileges, however, and did no act that the whole city press had not done for the past half a century. We simply extended the sphere of operation, and by a liberal investi- ture of money and labor did more completely and effectually the work that had been imper- fectly done before, With these arrangements of the Heratp for the collection of ship news, 80 serviceable to the public, Dr. Swinburne, the Health Officer of the port, and the two per cent philosophers of the Wostern Union Telegraph monopoly seok to interfere. Incited by jealousy and by a sort of Albany lobby itching after small jobs, tho great combination of quackery and electricity is endeavoring to put dowa the enter- prise of the Heratp, and to deprive our mer- chants and shippers of all news except such as may be furnished them by gracious permission of an intriguing official over the wires of the Western Union Telegraph Company. The telegraph company agree to lay a cable wire to the Quarantine ground, over which the Health Officer, his family and friends are to be perpetual deadheads, and the Health Officer guarantees to the telegraph company a mono- poly of all ship news, for which the papers are to pay, and promises to shut off the Hrrarp from obtaining intelligence by ‘straining the meaning and the authority of the Quarantine laws. What other little side bargains there may be and in what shares the paltry profits of this job aro parcelled out it is needless to conjecture. Dr. Swinburne now attempts to justify his share in the job by pleading that, as the guar- dian of the public health, he is bound to prevent any person from boarding or visiting a vessel arriving at this port until she has been ex- amined by the Health Officer, and he goes into an extended statement to show that be anticipates a great deal of danger and annoyance froma large number of imaginary steam yachts, all of which will, he imagines, desire to visit the Quarantine grounds for every city paper, and so he determines upon giving the Western Union Telegraph Company a mo- nopoly of half the shipping news and deprive the public of the other half. This is all bal- derdash, the claptrap of a small Albany lobby- ist who is more conversant with political tricks than with pills and potions. For fifty years the same system of collecting news has pre- vailed in this port, and its danger to the public health has not been discovered until now. Dr. Swinburne does not dread the spread of con- tagion from fifty or sixty stevedores who wan- der over New York and Staten Island at night after working all day discharging the cargo of a vessel into his own lighters, for which he pockets the pay. Dr. Swinburne will stake his medicai reputation—he does not object to small bets—that there can be no danger to the public health from his practice of stopping California and Havana ships in the Lower Bay, transferring the passengers to his own steamer and carrying them up for two dollars a head to New York, where they generally arrive after their own vessel has reached ite dock. But Dr. Swinburne does suppose that it is hazard- ous to the citizens of New York fora steam- tug to go within hailing distance of a ship outside Sandy Hook and receive from her a slip of paper tied to a billet of wood and thrown from her deck into the yacht. This impudent pretence of public duty aggravates the offensiveness of the Health Officer's conduct, and shows him to be entirely unfit for the position he fills, From informa- tion that reaches us every day we are inclined to believe that the jobs of the sharks who hang around Quarantine, always notorious, are getting to be worse than at any former period. We call upon Governor Fenton to inquire into the affairs of this department, and we especially insist that he shall make investigation into this attempt of the Health Officer to interfere with the press, which we charge is induced by improper motives. We refer the Governor to the merchante and shippers of New York as to the rights of the matter, and we are willing to abide by their decision. Let them state from thelr own knowledge the entire harmlossness of tho prevailed uninterruptedly for fifty years, and the great value to them of the Hegarp’s full and relisble marine report. They have learned enough of the evils of Western Union Telegraph monopoly to desire to put themselves in its power in regard to the shipping news of the port. If Governor Fenton has any respect for public opinion he will at once remove Dr. Swinburne, as unfit for the office he fills, and appoint a physician and an upright business man in his place. In the meantime we shall take our own course in upholding our rights and defeating the objects of the Quarantine and Telegraph jobbers. As Dr. Swinburne says, the HeraL> refuses to receive his reports of the marine news, “because in that mode it could not receive it in advance of its being furnished to other papers.” This is precisely the oase. By its own enterprise the Heratp does receive its news in advance of other papers, and it will continue to do so in spite of all the telegraphic monopolists and small patterns of political pill pedlers in existence. Thad Stevens. Thad Stevens was unquestionably a power in the land. To him, with his intense expres- sion of the most virulent prejudices against the originators of the unsuccessful secessionist movement, is chiefly due the delay of that restoration of the Union which was the osten- sible object of our late civil war. In Septem- ber, 1865, when the echoes of hostile cannon had hardly ceased to reverberate, Mr. Stevens, ina public speech at Lancaster, declared ‘his policy of reconstruction, He held that the South had committed no treason, but was a conquered foreign power, and was therefore to be condemned to what, with a grim humor, he styled ‘‘mild confiscation.” Of its three hun- dred and ninety-four million acres of land, forty millions, he contended, should be given to the emancipated negroes in farms of forty acres each, and the proceeds of the sale of the remainder, estimated by him at three thousand five hundred and forty million dollars, should be applied to the extinction of the national debt. When the President and Congress declared war against each other Mr. Stevens became, as he continued to be to the last, one of the fiercest antagonists of Mr. Johnson. His angry shaking and snapping of the lash over the Senators whom he failed to coerco into adhe- sion to his impeachment policy proved more effectual with the House of Representatives, In the House of Representatives he was the acknowledged leader of the republican members, many of whom surpassed him in ability, but none of them in audacity, and, we must perhaps allow, in sincerity. This one virtue his worst enemies must accord to hin—the courage of an openly avowed hostility. The fact is that Thad Stevens was, almost independently of his own volition, an instrument for ex- pressing and for working out the pre- destined. purposes of the revolution through which the Amerian people are pass- ing. Malevolent, even malignant, as he ap- peared to be and was in his capacity asa public man, his friends represent him as courteous and genial in his private intercourse with them. Publicly he was an evil, buta nonoasary ovil, and conv uabavally ongondosod by his antecedents and circumstances. Ac- cepted, therefore, as a typical representative of the party which recognized him as its autocrat, he must always hold a historical position. Nor will the death of Mr. Stevens result in consequences less important and historical than the position which he held while alive. It was his marvellous obstinacy, his Hannibal- like animosity against the South, which post- poned the settlement of our national difficulties, His death, however much it may be lamented by his immediate personal friends and by his party, sounds the death-knell of the extrava- gant hopes of the radicals. It was he alone whose firm will held together the most refractory among his partisans. Now that the control of his influence no longer exists, what is to hinder the disintegration of the party to which Mr. Stevens more than any other repub- lican leader had given concentration and force? His arrogance as a party leader had already received a double check in the failure of impeachment and in the postponement of the impeachment resolutions which he revived after the arrival in Washington of several new representatives from the Southern States, whom he regarded as irrevocably committed to his own revengeful policy. While we fully recognize the talents and the strong indi- viduality of the late Thaddeus Stevens, and even whatever merit there may be in the honesty of his open and avowed hostility to all his opponents, we must regard his removal by death as a misfortune to his party rather than to the nation. Pleasnnt Scenes in the Alabama Legisla- ture. The veto by the Governor of Alabama of the bill authorizing the Legislature instead of the people to cast the electoral vote for President and Vice President provoked some very hostile demonstrations in the Legislature between two republican members—one a native of Alabama, rejoicing in the unique name of Jones; the other an imported ‘‘carpet-bag” representative from Iowa, called Coon, a name familiar to the students of American natural history, but apparently not indigenous to the floor of the Alabama Legislative halls. Jones, the native republican member, denounced the imported republican Coon as a ‘‘carpet-bagger” and a squatter because of certain declarations made by the said Coon that he would marshal any amount of negroes and other fiercely inclined persons called ‘‘freemen of Alabama” (ninety thousand, we believe, was the exact figure) in opposition to the Governor's veto, and would fight it out upon that line until ‘victory perched upon his banner.” These remarks were designated by Jones (who, by the way, alluded to his republican colleague as ‘the gentleman from Iowa”) as revolutionary, and we are slightly inclined to think that they were, for revolution means aggression and resistance, and for a Coon to adopt either measure would be a revolution indeed. But, seriously, it is deplorable to see the Legislative action of any of the Southern States at this important crisis befooled by such nonsense as these republican members were permitted to introduce. The revolutionary and unconstitutional measure of taking from | the people the right to vote for President and ayatom of collecting ship nows, whioh has | transferring that right to @ packed Legislature | Totel.......sseseseerne was very properly vetoed by Governor Smith, who, although he is himself 9 republican, is wise enough to observe the danger which such ® course would surely bring upon the whole country. ‘The European Alliancee—Racsia and Ger ‘ many. King William of Prussia visited the Ozar Alexander of Russia on Tuesdsy near Wies- baden. A sort of informal imperial interview ensued, the conversation, as we are assured by the Atlantic cable, between their Majesties being of the most pacific character. The meeting of the sovereigns of Russia and North Germany, coming so soon after the diplomatic conversation of Lord Stanley with the Marquis Moustier in Paris, affords additional evidence of the fact that the alliances of the great Powers of Europe are being actively re- arranged, either for the establishment of a universal peace basis or the choosing of sides in war. The London journals are divided in opinion as to the exact meaning to be attached to Napoleon's speech at Troyes, but they will be likely to read it more intelligibly in the light of the report of this Russo-German ap- proach to a common understanding. Alexander the First of Rubsia was vastly puzzled during the greater part of his life to comprehend the great Napoleon. In 1801 he appeared as the admiring friend of the First Consul, and the territorial organization of Germany was then regulated by the two. The relations were decidedly changed, however, in 1805, as from that year to 1807 Napoleon un- dertook to treat Prussian affairs according to his own peculiar fashion and caused the youthful Czar an infinity of trouble. This condition terminated in June, 1807, at the meeting between the two great men on the raft in the river Niemen and the treaty of Tilsit, and a renewed friendship ensued, which was again, however, broken. It appears to us as if the Czar Alexander the Second does not yet fully understand Napoleon the Third, de- spite the fact of their having been ‘‘under fire” together so recently in Paris, and that he has had a talk with his senior, the King of Prus- sia, on the subject of his own obtuseness. The European alliances are evidantly experiencing a change. A Quarantine Jos.—When a California or Havana ship arrives in the Lower Bay she is stopped by the Health Officer, and the steamer belonging to that enterprising official takes off her passengers and conveys them to the city at a charge of two dollars per head. When all the customers that can be secured have been transferred to the Quarantine boat the ship is suffered to proceed to her dock, which she generally reaches before the Health Officer's steamer has arrived up. The money goes into the Health Officer's pocket and forms one of the plums of Quarantine. Gotp Acar IN THE AsoENDANT.—After being vigorously hammered by the bears for some days past, gold yesterday escaped from their control and rose to 147}, closing with a strong upward tendency. The bulls will now wreak their vengeance on the bears, and thus the gold market is kept in a fever of excite- ment, and legitimate business is converted inv speculation by the frequent nuctuations in gold, or rather in the value of the paper dollar. A Prorounp Noopig.—Health Officer Swin- burne, with Dogberry profundity, “‘argufies” that going in a steam yacht within hailing dis- tance of a home-bound ship, hailing her and receiving from her deck a slip of paper tied to a billet of wood is ‘‘boarding” the vessel and endangers the health of the city. At the same time he feels very certain that to put fifty or sixty stevedores, for whose labor he receives pay, at work on a newly arrived vessel discharging cargo all day is not board- ing her, and that spreading the stevedores over New York and Staten Island at night is not endangering the public health. Decline of the Meat Trade=The Board of Health Exerting Itself. ‘The trade in the meat markets since the alarming announcements about the cattle piague has fallen off one-half, Fulton, Washington and Spring, the leading markets in the city, complain very much of the de- pression in business, The restaurants tell the same tale in reference to the particular article of beef, and in fact the flesh of the fatted steer is generally at a discount. Dr. Harris thinks that some diseased meat must have found its way into the market to account for the extraordinary increase in diarhoal affections of @ fatal character during last week. In the vicinity of Hudson City ten diseased cattle which arrived yesterday are pastured in the midst of clover and timothy and near a spring of living water, with ample shade all around. Six of them are believed to be incurably sick and all exhibit such symptoms of fever as make them proper subjects for treatment. Every animal that has ceased to chew thevoud exhibits an increase of from three to nine degrees Fahrenheit. All of them have the biack water, or hematuria, The Board of Health is taking the utmost precautions in the interests of the public and several skilful surgeons are engaged in making @ critical analysis of the disease. Action of Governor Fenton—The Importation of Diseased Cattle Into New Jorscy For. bidden.. ‘The President of the Board of Health telegraphed to Governor Fenton, asking that cattle trains be officially inspected at Salamanca, Elmira, Buffalo and Albany.

There has been not a little anxiety to know if any attempt has been made by them to take possession of any of the railroad property there, or arrest the course of travel or the mails.

The stages running northward, eastwerd and westward from Puebia are too often of late attacked and their passengers robbed, and | hear of a Con. ressman Mexico, well Known in the United States, having been robbed as he was entering Qi rétaro. As these occurrences have always happened in Mexico the repetition of their recital is perhaps bardly Lennon ‘The reports which have reached here in regard to pro) filipustering expeditions from New Orleans i other portions of the United States have not fallen upon listless ears, and the government has wakened to the importance of the matter. General Escobedo will leave here very shortiy for the | Northern frontier. He will probably make his head- qparters for the present at Matamoros, and will command such troops as the government shall de- eide to collect along the Rio Grande for the purpose of meeting and driving back any fllibustering party which may propose to venture on Mexican soil. This government evidently expects that General Mc- Cook will exert himself to prevent incursion from the Texas border, and rely upon ovedo a do the rest. : The press of Mexico is still critic and con- demning the American papers for the attitude which they have taken towards Mexico, aud the prognostt- cation which they freely make as to the future of this country. Some of the New York papers are not passed by, while special denunciations are confer! upon the HERALD. The editorial in the HERALD of June 19 seems to have particularly touched a tender part of public 6 ntiment.

General Porfirio Diaz is reported to have gone to Guatemala on @ mission which is said to be of some importance, General Escobedo arrived in Mexico city on the 16th ult. from his campaign in the Sierra of Queré taro and reported the insurrection there as vir- tually at an end. The events that led to this coa- summation, briefly detailed, are as follows: On the 6th of Jui the insurgent leader Macario Silva emer; from the Sierra with @ atrong column to make a dasi upon Toliman, whici, it ls supposed, he ex; to take by surprise. ke was met on the way by a large body of the govera- Ment troops, and in the engagement that ensud was badly routed. His loss, according to the gov- ernment repurts, was very heavy, though Generd Escobedo strangely neglects to tell wha’ own (Escobedo’s) losses. Silva retreated to Jalpan, jotming the remnant of his furces with those of Zam gua and Vel with the First brigade of General sion, attacked the pee and drove out the insul- ee who ret ‘nen to Canaos. The next day Colonel Flores, wit the Second brigade, ee wy Ibarras after little a no resistance on the part of the enemy, and Gener, _ Martinez, with the Fourth brigade, entered Bu unopposed. On the 1ith Governor Vervantes, wia the Second and Third brigades, attacked the conce:- trated forces of the insurrection, under Silva, Zar zua, Montes, Reyes and others, and after a stubbom fight of two hours’ duration, badly defeated then, ¢ insurgents scattered in ali directions, hurried! secking their several mountain fastnesses in sma! detachinents, This e ent, which occurrek near Canaos, was the last milit trial of strengta of the camps . Having virtually suppressed tie insurrection, General Escobedo deemed it useless to = lore, routed leaders have since signified their willingnesa to submit to the government and have nay 3 up ia trust their arms and ammunition to a Sedor Olvera, | who is treating for them with the government. The tone of the press of the capital indicates that the Sefior will succeed in his mediatory efforts and will obtain easy terms of conciliation for most, if not all of the insu ts. ‘ The Dutch brig Verwisseling, Captain Munnix, last from Genoa, while going to Laguna, pecame be — and was carried by the curreat ashore.
