The letter from the Liberator, read according to invariable custom at the last weekly meeting of the Repeal Association, and which epistle is published in another portion of our journal, is of a most consolatory and inspiriting cha racter. It is consolatory, inasmuch as it forms the direct negation of every lugubrious and despairing lamentation as to the prospects of Ireland during the approaching winter, and the indulgence of which despondency has already produced insurrections and bloodshed among the starving peasantry. It is in spiriting, because it is illumined by hope and nerved with confidence. One reflection consequent upon the recent decision of the Lord-Lieutenant to act upon his own responsibility, without waiting for the tedious assistance of Parliament, is most obvious and most encouraging—namely, that having adventured so far, ;;Lord BEsnoaouou will, if merely for the sake of his own reputation and of consistency, proceed still further, supposing such should prove advisable by the extension of the scarcity. Having assumed the necessary dictatorship, accord ing to the Hon. Member for Cork, the noble representa tive of Queen VICTORIA will never from mere trepi dation relax in his generous and courageous efforts at amelioration. In plain language, the Irish may look with confidence to the Lord-Lieutenant's further in terposition in their behalf, on the homely principle of " in for a penny in for a pound." Parliament may not grant him an indemnity for his resolution to fore stall its delegation to him of more extended powers ; the senators of eke people possess the capacity for so doing unqueetionably, but no sane individual has the temerity to imagine for a single moment that the sagacity and intrepidity of his Excellency will be so ungratefully recompensed. There is a hazard of being refused the requisite Parliamentary indemnity; there is a very improbable possibility of the legislators -egarding this proceeding, on the part of Lord BES SOROUGII, as a needless infringement upon their • uthority, but that such will actually be the case ipon the re-assembling of our representatives in St. 3tephen'e, is one of the least likely occurrences in the .Orthcoming session, Every reflective inhabitant of these islands recognises this position of affairs, and reposes in a confident expectation of the result as far as his Excellency is concerned. Lord BES-• BOROUGH, on the other hand, is thoroughly conscious of the extent to which he has already committed him • self, and will find in that very consciousness an en couragement to still greater exertions for the allevia tion of Irish distresses. With reference to the proposed assemblage of a National Committee in Dublin, Mr. O'CONNELL con tinues to express his unreserved anxiety for its speedy convocation. The existing scarcity of pro visions is manifestly no casual visitation ; the blight has for awhile absolutely annihilated vegetation ; the agricultural condition of the sister country is such, that some time of probation will be requisite before it recover itself sufficiently to ensure the wholesome and generous nourishment of the community, not to speak of its being so restored as to enable the corn growers and cattle-feeders and dairy-keepers to export to the English markets, It must be remem bered that the present is the second, and not the solitary, season of scarcity, that it is more grievous, instead of being less irksome, than its predecessor. As we have observed before, therefore, this famine is no casual or evanescent visitation ; it is not to be remedied by any merely temporary compensation ; it demands the most resolute, the most determinate, the most compre hensive and systematic treatment. For these reasons, among others of a more prospective cha racter, the convening of such a " National Com mittee" has appeared to ourselves so eminently ad- visable. In alluding to the particular character of the Lord- Lieutenant's late extraordinary modification of the Labour-rate Act, Mr. O'CONNELL has seized the op portunity for the purpose of disabusing certain among the newspapers of the impression that that Act sanctions merely unprofitable works. While w• our selves have most strenuously advocated the employ ment of labourers in strictly agricultural improve ments, and have deprecated most strongly the hiring of the destitute simply for the promotion of what may be called public em bellishments, such as unnecessary roads and super fluous bridges, we have on no occasion contemned the construction of such means of transit whenever or wherever they appeared to be required. On the contrary, we should be disposed to re gard such alterations, under such circum stances, and during such an emergency, as equally advisable with the cultivation of the soil. It remains, consequently, for the local ex ecutive to determine the relative importance of labour in tillage, or irrigation, or the fabrication of highways and bye-roads. According to Mr. O'CONNELL, the western baronies of the county of Kerry are singularly " scant" in good roads and lamentably deficient in bridges. A pre ference, then, to bridges and roads to Kerry, by all means ! On the same authority the barony of Tervoe possesses already an ample allowance of those very necessary means of com munication. A decided preference, therefore, to the cultivation of the soil at Tervoe ! And so on throughout the different baronies in the distresed portions of Ireland. Such a discrimination as to what would be locally advantageous, and a full and universal co-operation with his Excellency Lord BESBOROUGII, will inevitably tend to the preservation of many lives, and will effectually conquer the famine and the pestilence which threaten to ravage the pea santry of Ireland. Geneva, es was yesterday intimated in The Sun, has recently been the scene of a rather serious insur rectionary movement. Cherishing a deplorable diver sity of jealousies and antipathies against each other, and prepared to evince the existence of those jealousies and antipathies on the first glimmering of an oppor tunity, the different cantons of the Swiss Confedera tion are cursed with an inherent tendency to disturb ance. Of this pernicious tendency they constantly avail themselves with alacrity. Since the territories and constitutions of Europe wer e m a pp e d out and I defined at the Congress of Vienna, Switzerland has presented a spectacle of protracted anarchy. Prom 1815 to the present instant discontent has mani fested itself, sometimes in one canton, sometimes in another, sometimes, and not unfrequently, in all of them simultaneously. The popu lation of the V alteline has at one period expe rienced a heartburning under existing regulations ; at another the people of Ulterwalden, at another the Grisons, at another Schwyz, at another Berne, at another Neuchatel. As a modern writer has ob served of the various factions developed in Paris by the great French revolution, society was broken into fragments like a mirror, yet each fragment reflected in itself a separate and entire idea. The condition of the confederacy after the illusory compact, entered into more than thirty years bygone, has been even ' more disintegrated than that of the Parisian citizens. There have been jealousies within jealousies, frac tures within fractures. Not merely have the neigh bouring cantons been opposed to each other with the most ineradicable animosity, but the people of, each canton have been more or less afflicted with in ternal bickerings. Since the great sceptical philoso phers first endeavoured to dissipate the faith of generations, and daringly attempted the conquest of revealed truth by the puny implements of sophistry and incredulity, the Swiss have imbibed the less dele terious portion of that philosophy, they have striven for the more,rapid development of human institutions, and for the more generalized emancipation of human intelligence. The principal aspiration of this singular race has been an aspiration for the subjection of every thing of a despotic tendency, whether applied to their civil, moral, municipal, or religious government. But hitherto their ambition has been vaster than their capaci- ' ties for its realisation. They have been ripe in will, but crude in power; Titans in desire, but mannikins in accomplishment. Every one who bears in recollection the circum stances which conduced to the outbreak at Lucerne during last spring will recognise the truth of these opinions. It will be remembered that while advocating the acknowledgment of civil and religious liberty as the fundamental principles of the Govern ment, the insurrectionists were, in their insufficiency of knowledge, absolutely endeavouring to violate the latter portion of that glorious motto; they were struggling to render belief compulsory, and to elicit a coincidence of opinion in matters spiritual at the point of the bayonet and at the muzzle of the blun derbuss. A similar incapability of discrimination in the sanctity of individual rights is risible in the recent insurrection at Geneva. The occurrences which led on the 6th, 7th, and Bth of this present October to the victory of the insurgents, and the resignation of the Council of State, have already been recounted in our columns, and while those occur rences prove the impossibility of Switzerland accom plishing ata present any satisfactory internal reform, they demonstrate the astonishing earnestness and physical unanimity of the populace. Properly directed, that unanimity would inevitably lead in the end to the consolidation of power and the perpetual preservation of peace. Until then, however, the hap piness, the tranquillity, and the freedom of Switzer land will continue, as they hare long been, a compli. cated chimera and a fragile illusion. Madrid papers to the 7th have arrived. The Government have received information that CABRERA travels under the name of JOSE LOPEZ, merchant of Madrid, and orders have been given that should he be taken he is to be shot instantly. It was reported that on the night of the 6th a person had been arrested at the door of the French Embassy, on a charge of intending to assassinate the Duc DE MONTPESSIER. He had been previously heard to utter threats, and on searching him loaded pistols were found on his person. It was said that the marriage of the Duke and the INFANTA had been privately solemnized on the night of the 6th. The Heraldo gives a very high flown account of the entry of the two French Princes into Madrid on the 6th. The Progressista papers, the Espanol, the Espectador, the Nuevo Espectador, and the Eco del Comercio, were all seized on the 7th, because, in de scribing the entry of the French Princes, they said they were not received with enthusiasm. It was reported at Madrid that the English squadron was at Carthagena. The Paris papers of Monday are chiefly occupied with remarks upon the recent outbreak in Geneva. The following account of the progress of the rm. lution, written by some English gentlemen 'who were eye-witnesses to the whole affair, appears in Galtg nani's illessenger " Hotel des Bergues, Geneva, October 8. " Having been an eye-witness of the recent outbreak at Geneva, and learning that man y exaggerate d reports had been circulated regarding it, I sen d you an accoun t of the circumstances. In consequence of a dispute between the Government and the people, of the merits of which I, as a stranger, do not pretend to form any opinion, the latter determined to maintain what they conceived to be their rights. They accordingly seized the gates, and took possession of the four bridges across the Rhone, which they strongly barricaded, in order to cut off the communication between the two quarters of the town. All attempts at an accommodation having failed, the fighting commenced yesterday, the 7th, to rards three o'clock, simultaneou s ly at the Porte Cornavin, on the Place du Bel Air, which commands one of the bridges ; and, finally, at the bridge facing the Hotel des Bergues, where two diligences, forming a barricade, were set on fire and destroyed. The cannonading at these several points continued till towards evening, but without pro ducing any decisive result. Last night the four bridges were partially set on fire, and were still burning this morning, but, owing probably to a heavy rain, without sustaining any very considerable damage. A train, how ever, had been laid on each, which it was intended to blow up in case the passage should be attempted. In fact, things wore a sufficiently formidable aspect this morning, for we were virtually in a state of siege, and had the Government not felt themselves obliged to yield, they had decided on firing this quarter of the town, and God knows what would have been the result. In anticipation of such an occurrence most of the strangers left the town, which they were permitted to do with as much baggage as they , could carry, I and my family, together with the under signed, remained, and we unite in bearing testimony, not only to the irreproachable conduct of the people, who throughout manifested the utmost forbearance and consideration both for person and property, but also to the extreme civility and attention we have experienced in this hotel, where the proprietor himself has been the most actively zealous in procuring permits of departure for those who chose to avail themselves of them. The report of the killed and wounded is so various that it is impossible at present to form a correct estimate of it. We have had one or two narrow escapes here. One ball pierced the shutter of the room on the ground floor, de stroying a valuable mirror, and penetrating through an adjoining wall into the room beyond. Tranquillity is at present completely restored, and all further apprehension at an end. I shall feel obliged by your inserting this in your valuable paper, and remain your obedient servants, " CHARLES RANDALL, Major. " JAMES WATSON. " HORATIO N. VIGORS, Lieutenant-Colonel. " V. F. VYOYAN. " V. D. VYOYAN." Tranquillity was completely restored at Geneva on the 10th. The Revue de Geneve of that date pub lishes the following announcement : " This morning, at ten o'clock, the people of Geneva met in General Council, and voted unanimously the fol lowing decree:—' The Grand Council is dissolved. The resignation of the Council of State is accepted. A Pro visional Government, composed of ten members, shall be immediately elected by the General Council. A new Grand Council is convoked for the 25th instant. The number of deputies is reduced by one-half. The elec toral colleges of arrondissement are reduced to three — viz., one for the city, one for the communes of the left bank of the Lake and of the Rhone, and one for those of the right bank.:The constituent power is conferred on this Grand Council to prepare a revision of the consti tution, to be submitted to the votes of the people. The paid guard shall be disbanded. All the damage done in the affair of the 7th shall be charged to the Council of State which has resigned, and the officer who commanded in chief the armed force of the Government.' after voting this decree, the following persons were unani mously elected for the Provisional Government:— ! James Fazy, Louis Rilliett, Leonard Gentin, Bordier, Francois danin, Balthasar Decrk, Castoldi, Pons, Moulini6, Foutanel." The Provisional Government was installed the same day, and immediately published the following procla mation : " Fellow-citizens,—ln the midst of the most difficult circumstances, we accept, from devotedness to our country, the task of assuming provisionally the views of Government. With the co-operation of all the citizens, we can accomplish everything for the maintenance of order and public peace; without it we can do nothing. Fellow-citizens, of every opinion, rally round us for the interest of all. Our charge, which is purely provisional, emanates from a council general of citizens, assembled to-day in the Flace du Molard. Constituting ourselves, in consequence, a provisional council, we maintain in the existing state the authorities and administrations. We render each responsible, as far as it is concerned, for the maintenance of public order, and the complete execution of the orders which shall be given them. We conjure all citizens to maintain by their energetic co-operation public peace, and thus prevent calamities which would press upon all. Fellow-citizens of all parties, have confidence in us, and wait patiently the result of our deliberations, which shall be carried on as promptly us possible." The Constitutionnel, in giving a resume of the events of the last two years in Switzerland, attributes all the evils which have befallen that once happy country to the retrograde and selfish policy of M. GUIZOT. It says— . " Civil war has again broken out in Switzerland. The Governments of Europe ought to have expected it; they alone it was who placed arms in the hands of the citi zens of Switzerland, divided, it is true, by political and religious passions, but whom wiser and paore intelli gent counsels on the part of France, Austria, and the other Powers would certainly have reconciled. The ques tion of the admission of the Jesuits into Switzerland, and principally into one of the directing cantons, had called forth animated debates and sanguinary struggles. On one side, Lucerne, braving the wishes of the majority of Switzerland, had invited the Jesuits,. and in deli-. vering itself up to their influence gave them a prepon derating action over the general affairs of the confe deration one year out of the three. On the other hand, the armed intervention of the free corps had violated the territory and independence of the canton of Lucerne. Sound sense recommended the Diet, assembled two years back, to oppose, at the same time, these two causes of disorder; first, to prevent and repress all armed inter vention of one canton with another ; and, secondly, not .to permit, in a directing canton, called on to govern in its turn—a state composed of Protestants and Catholics —the presence of a celebrated company profoundly in tolerant, and which from its origin had declared a deter mined war on Protestantism. We omit here the other motives. To repress the free corps, and to expel the Jesuits, was to make moderation prevail, and remove the principal causes of civil war. The majority of the cantons would certainly have adopted this course if the European powers had employed in this sense their incontestable influence. But nothing of the ssrt took place. We beheld France the first to ad dress to the Swiss Government, in a tone of menace, a ( sort of injunction, contrary to the Liberal party, and favourable to the Jesuits. All the other powers, in a language, it is true, m ore p o lit e an d mo d era t e , pur sued - the same course. This was a great imprudence. Thus, the distinction of conquerors and conquered was set up in Switzerland, and resentment and discord were perpetuated, M. Guizot and his friends did still worse than this, Their policy aimed at lowering the central power of Switzerland, at taking away whatever strength remained in the Diet, in other words, in the'moderating power, and in exalting the pride and resistance of the cantons. All our Ministerial journals set about declaim -0 n the f eder cantons,at ion , s r e t r i g o3 n . t t y n e o o f ing, as if for a wager, in favour of the absolute sove- Ter to m d en e ; d s if br ithey abouth had a the i dismemberment of of the Helvetic body. The consequences were such stn might have been anticipated. The cantons engaged, in the libfiral policy carried to the extreme point their domestic reforms, and chose for their magistrates some of the most renowned. leaders of the movement of the free corps. The ultramoutane cantons, forming a little confederation within the grand one, organised a systematic resistance to the central power, and braved in advance the decisions of the Diet, if these decisions did not happen to be in con formity with their hopes. Between the two parties so irritated, the Diet, with its neutral half votes, its eternal propositions, only served to register dissents, enhance divisions, and proclaim in Switzerland, by its very want of power, the inevitable decision of force. The federal assembly, enervated by the detestable policy of Prance and Europe, is nothing more than a' meeting of diplo nsatists without power, who pass their time in defying each other, and preparing war amongst the petty states which they represent. The canton of Geneva, one of those over which our influence might be exercised, had the most contributed, by its holding back, to annul the Diet ; and of late it had inclined towards the league of the seven cantons. Civil war has burst out in the midst of this canton, which the two hostil3 parties had so great an interest to win over to their cause. The-sanguinary conflicts of Geneva, are then, as may be seen, the natural fruit of the wise policy adopted by our Cabinet. The yea citable policy of France, which was of necessity connected with the liberal cantons, would be to support in Switzer. land an intelligent liberalism and a prudent reform of the federal compact. Far from entering on this path, it is impossible that our Cabinet does not go further from it than ever. At this same moment M. Guizot is solicit ing throughout the whole of Europe, and particularly from the Government of Austria, the recognition of Queen Isabella, England, invoking the treaty of Utrecht, which Austria signed, opposes with energy the desires of our Government, which she accuses of having violated the treaty. It is beyond all doubt that M. Guizot, to bear down the scale in his favour, and to draw towards him the absolutist Government of Austria, will, if neces sary, enounce an ultra-Conservative policy, and will par ticipate in all the measures which it may be deemed suitable to adopt against the liberal part of Switzerland. A well understood alliance of France and England would I".ave answered in Switzerland the cause of moderation. The recent rupture perhaps, on the contrary, is going to create between those two countries a sort of pretended Conservative emulation, by which liberty will suffer throughout the world."

EXPRESS FROM PARIS. SPAIN. A telegraphic dispatch received by the French Government on Monday announces that the mar riages of the Queen to Don Prancisc3 d'Assis and of the Infanta to the Duke de Montpenier were solemnised on the evening of the 10th. There was a grand mass performed on the morning of the 11th. MADRID, OCT. 8, SEVEN O'CLOCK, A.M. Mr. Bulwer has presented another protest to the Spanish Government on the subject of the Infanta's marriage. It is short, but strong and decided in character. This protest is to the effect that the British Government will refuse to recognise the claims of the children of the marriage to the Crown of Spain. The person arrested on the charge of meditating the assassination of the Duke of Monpensier is a retired military officer, named Olavarrieta. He was formerly editor of a Republican paper called El Hitracan—" The Hurricane." When taken before the Minister of the Interior, he declared that he in tended one pistol for the Duke of Alontpensier, and the other for himself, as soon as the act was consummated. The pistols were loaded with balls and slugs. It was near the portico of the Royal Palace he was arrested, where he was waiting the arrival of the Princes. The report is that he is insane. He had been arrested some hours pre viously in a gambling-house, but was soon set at liberty. His anxious inquiries in the Palace square, and his great curiosity as to the identity of the Princes, attracted the noti ce o f t h e police. A grand dinner was given yesterday by the French Ambassador in honour of the Princes. More than 200 persons, it is said, were arrested yesterday and the day before.

ItiPORTANT AND INTERESTING FRO THE UNITED STATES AND MEXICO. ARRIVAL OF THE CAMBRIA. - - -- EPROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT . ] -- - LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY, 6 A.M. The steam-ship Cambria, under the command of Captain Judkins, has, with her usual punctuality and dispatch, arrived. She reached the Mersey this morning shortly after two o'clock, and supplies us with news from the United States to the 2d instant, and with later advices from Mexico and from Canada. The Cambria brings ninety passengers, and has expe rienced most boisterous weather throughout, but we are happy to say that she has weathered the gale in ad mirable style, and returns home certainly uninjured. The Great Western, which sailed hence for New York from this port on the 12th ult., had reached New York on the 30th, after a protracted passage of 18 days. She encountered terrific gales, and had almost _ _ _ foundered. The particulars of the weather, &c., wil be found in our extracts from the papers received. The steam-ship Ilibernia, which sailed from Liver. pool on the 19th ult., was at Boston on the 2d, hav ing been at Halifax to land and receive the mails. A destructive fire had visited Philadelphia, by which eighty poor families were rendered destitute. The logs is estimated at 15,000 dollars. Our Canadian accounts are of no moment. The papers by this arrival contain a great deal of interesting and rather important intelligence as to the state of affairs between the United States and Mexico. The rumour which was published in the London papers of Monday, stating that a settlement of the dispute had taken place, is untrue ; on the contrary , the latest papers from New York state that " The expectation which provoiloci when the Innt steamer took her departure, that the offer on the part of this Government to treat with Mexico for peace might be accepted mid lead to the prompt termination of the war, is now dissipated. The answer on the part of Mexico to this proposition, received at Washington some days ago, without declining the offer, refers it to the decision of the National Congress, which is to con vene in the early part of December next—the same period at which the Congress of the United States commences its annual session. In the actual con dition of affairs in Mexico this course does not seem unreasonable, and ought not to be looked upon as disingenuous. There i s no recogn i sed and efH.- cleat Government in that country just now. Paredes, who had been duly elected P res id ent has been over thrown by a revolution, which rec a ll s S anta A nna f roia the exilo to which Paredes party had consigned him, and consigns Paredes himself to the prison of Perote. A military Chief, General Sales, exercises arl interim the chief powers of the Government, alike without the con sent and without the control of any legislature. A new Cabinet has been formed Lie the return of Santa Ann a , which is of his dictation. " m The appointments which have taken place, are Rejon, Secretary of State; Almonte, Secretary of War; Gomes Farias, Secretary of Finance ; all these it is believed, certainly the two former, companions in exile of Santa Anna. Meantime this chief remains at his Hacienda, and does not approach the capital. Yet he seems to be recognised as the arbiter of the public fortunes and destinies, for on the 20th A ugus t, foUi'days after he had landed at Vera Crux, General &tills addressed to him, as the recognised Commander in-Chief of the armies, a statement of the condition of tl4'nation, and of his own acts, as the temporary • head . and chief. One of the New York papers, speaking of his address, says—" The tone of the ad dress is not peaceful ; and special credit is taken in it for the effort made to organi ze efficient resistance to the American i nva d ers of the soil. " lay aside Anna, in his reply, prof esses hi s read i ness to his "functions" as C omman d er- i n -Chief, under which title he was recalled by the various pronunciamentos, whenever the destinies of the nati on are an independent na ti ona l L eg i s l ature ; and expresses hope, which full surely he d oes not secured x pres s e by s a entertain, of being permitted yet "to lay at th e i r feet lau r els plucked on the Sabine." Thi s i s mere "caviare" for the multitude, and is only of imp or t ance as denoting the conviction of a sagacious man, who knows his countrymen, that any hope, however dis tant, of driving back the Americans, even beyond the limits of Texas, is eagerly caught at by the people. In addition to the proclamation published by Santa Anna on the 16th of August, and which arrived here per the Marmion, we find the following addressed to the troops of San Juan d'Ulloa . BRETHREN IN ARMS— ,Yeur- gene rous ca ll h av i ng reac h e d roe in my exile, I ri couldno longer be i n diff eren t to it, seeing that it was an I . i e n ch w o h o io f h th s c he so i l s icitati ons made for my return from other departments.

Relying on your patriotism and virtue, I h urried to join you as soon as it was possible for me to do so; and I am n ow here for the purpose of co-operating with you in working out the salvation of the Republic--rescuing it from impending ruin, and raising it from the ignominious position to which it has been reduced by treason and imbecility.

Ramie Vera Cruz, Aug. 16, 1846. , .'General Salas has been. rather . active of late, and has sought by several addresses to the Mexican people to arouse it to action against the United SCates : armies• And on the 15th of August he issued a proclamation, in which he citesia new insult and cause of ;resent metit-*—the occupation of California '-by the 'American forces. 'The folloWing is a brief synopsis of the docu ment: We' may just add' that it appears to embody the views of Santa Anna— First. Until the new constitution shall be adopted, that of the 3 ear 1624 shall be in full force in every par-, ticular in which it is not repugnant to the ylari or the citadel of Mexico of the 4th - of August, and in Which the present anomalous situation og ;the t country Will allow it to -apply. - ' • Secondly. The functions of the assemblies of the de partmets, and of the existing councils of governinent, are thereby deel,red to be at an end. . • ' Third!y.

IGovernors of new departments, without constitution, will ,he regulated by those. of the States whose capitals are nearest. Fifthly. As these Tunctionaries have no legitimate title. to power,-it is declared that they owe their e:iistence to the political movement which is to regenerate the country, and consequently the General-in-Chiet Can re place them, as may best condUce to the interest' of the movement." : The expedition for Calefoniasailed from Nei? York on the 25th ult. The news frOm - the army of occupation state that General Taylor. was on his march to • Monterey. General Taylor had joined General . Worth, who had reached and occupied Seralvo, a town about_inidway between - catnargo, and Monterey, A ,New York paper of the 15th says-- 7 • Our forces on the Rio Grande have taken up' their march for Monterey. General Taylor, with his army, joined his advance, which under General Worth had reached and occupied Seralvo, a town about mitlay tween Camargo and Menterey, about the 15th instant. He hassutficient force and adequate provisions for push ing on to Monterey, which he would probably do with out loSs of time. General Atnpudia is in command .at konterey, with an, army differently estimated at froth three thousand to six thousand men. Monterey . is not a strong place, and the army of General'Ampudia,,what eier its number, cannot be either'Well organised or well paid, .or .well. provided. There is, therefore, little to apprehend from any resistance it • can make to General Taylor's forces, lie will easily take MontereY, - and probably Saltillo, though that is more. of- a fortress:. What after Wards will be his . cOurse . cannot be an , tic!pated.' ' We have a rumour—possibly preina.tur . e—bnt only premature, for it will be verified, that General liearney had entered and occupied Santa Fe. That he will do so can hardly be doubted. The rumour we refer adds that Artnijo;the Spanish commander, remained in the city. . In commercial matters there is a good deal of anima tion. Our wheat crop this year, and that of Indian Corn, are vet:) , large - , and the farmers are hurrying.them to market to avail of present high' prices. The quotations under the usual head will show what the ruling rates are with us- , -and if next advices frenn Europe snow rising priceS there, ours will take another j Limp. The cotton crop, it is rioW the condeded opinion, will be quite short. Sound judges do not carry . their esti mate beyond 1,800,000,. and their estim a t e is funded on the backwardaess of the crop—unparalelled .since 1838' —the known, ravages of the army worm-arid the small receipts of new.. Cotton at New Orleans up to the 19th inst. The whole quantity received up to that date was 2;389 bales, which is less than half the quantity received in the preceding two years up to Ist September.ldl646. the receipt of the new mill at New Orleans up, to .the 19th September was 11,65Q:bales—and the crop of that year only turned out 1,035,p00 bales. • (From the New 'Orleans Bee, Sept 18.) MEXICO. Vie have received, through Havannah, a file of Vera Cruz papers to the 30th ult. As may be supposed fro m the date; the most important parts of their intelligence has been ahtiaipated. • The papers are 'filled with pron.unciameiztos in fav - pq ' of Santa Anna.' •We notice those of MexicO, 4gnas. catientes, .Puebla, Vera Cruz, Cajaea, QUeretaio, San PotOSi,i)urango, Zacatecas; Tebasce; and others. On the 24th ult., Almonte, Crescentio Rejon, and koves i reached the city of Mexico. They had accompanied Santa . Anna from gayannah. • Dowd - min - Morales has been • 'appointed Governor of 'Guanajuato. • •- .• • As- soon as Santa Anna arrived at the Capitol a de - cree was issued conferring plenary powers upon the, new Congress to meet in Deeember. The promulgation of this order created general satisfaction. The !people hastened in large numhers to the National Palace amidst cries of " Viva Santa Antler i 1 Viva Farias!" " Long live the'arroy." : The Vera Cruz papers express a . strpng desire that the new Congress should .convene before the period first agreed upon—the 6th December., Don Francisco Olagnibel has been appointed Gorer nor of the State. of Mexico, in.place .of Senor Cortin a , and' Don Juan Soto Governor of the Department of Vera Cruz. We.notice several addresses to various porti6iis of the army by different chiefs. They breathe. nothing but vengeance against the United States, and ek.press a eon ! fident belief that under the invincible • Santa 'Anna, a splendid victory will be achieved over-the troops of this country. _ _ On the 26th ult., a boat left the Gulf squadron with a flag of truce, and approached the town of Vera*Cruz. Having touched the shore, an officer delivered a letter to the Commander-General, and returned without await ing a reply. According to the Vera Cruz Indicadoi-, the letter contained another addressed to the Mexican Mi nister of Foreign Relations. It contained, in all proba bility, the overtures of peace. Another decree has been put forth by the Provisional Government, which delares the Constitution of 1824 in full force, until a new, one •be formed. The Depart. mental Assemblies, and Abe Council of the Government are abolished. • FROM HAVANNA4,—By the arrival of the barque Ta cio, we have received Havannah papers to the 10th inst. They contain little worth translating. A. bank is about to be established in Havannah. During a thunder storm in the vicinity of Havannah,. on the 2d, the house of Dr. J. M. 'Rosada was struck by lightning, and the mistress of the home, a servant, and child, .were immediately killed. The building took fire, but the flames were extinguished before damagehad been done. FROM THE CAMP. —The news which reached us from the army, on Saturday night, through the New Orleans papers, is not to be received without many grains of al lowance. No dispatches have been received for the last three days; but it is not difficult to see that the lost rumours from the army have come to as through reporters who have imparted hues of too dark acomplexion to their stories. We do not credit the report, for example, that when General Taylor arrives at Seralvo he intends to tarry for dispatches from Washington. It would have been far more consistent with a tactician to have remained at Camargo, near to his depots, than to have gone on with provisions for 12,000 troops for thirty. days, and then pause upon his march to consume his rations, and to receive dispatches. We do not believe it. The reports of sickness, too, are probably extravagant.—H i ashington Union. THE NAUVOO CAPITULATION.—A .letter. from War saw, Illinois, dated Sept. 20, and published in a St. Louis paper, gives the following account of the terms 'dictated by the besiegers of Nauvoo and forced upon its defenders, in that transaction of disgraceful violence which has just ended by driving the last remnant of the Mormons out of the state of Illinois. On Wednesday, the 16th instant, through the media tion of the Quincy Committee of One Hundred, articles of capitulation were signed by the belligerent parties: They bad been given by Major Brockman as his ulti matum, from •which •he would not -recede, ar.d were finally accepted by the Mormons—Clifford - being their. Commander-in-chief. These articles were to this eftect: " Ist. 'Chat the posse might enter the city on to morrow (the 17th) at 3 o'clock. 2d. The arms of the Mormons to be given into the hands of the Quincy Com mittee, and by them re-delivered, after the Mormons bad left the city. 3d. The posse pledged protection to the persons and property of the Mormons. 4th. The Mormon population to immediately leave the state. "At three o'clock. on. Thursday the posse marched into the city and encamped in the south end of the town.' Before they had arrived, however, nearly all the Mor mons and Jacks, agreeably to the stipulations,'had left, by crossing the river into lowa." MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS. ~, NEW YORK MONEY.
