Sir JAMES GRAHAM and Sir ROBERT PEEL all the sagacity of the Cabinet is pretty much concentered,—would ensure that they had taken ; and the Premier and the Home Mi ni3ter have been foiled by the Duke of WELLINGTON, Lord STANLEY, and Mr. SIDNEY HERBERT. The Duke of WEL LINGTON has at last set up his back against PEEL, and Lord STANLEY divides from the fides Achates who followed him from the Whig Cabinet, and shared, emulous of pre-eminence, in his violent opposition to their old friends. We can conceive Sir JAMES GRAHAM'S anxiety to lay before his audience the course which he had wished, and the mod• in which he had been thwarted; and if released from all shackles, who would have better pointed satire and censure against the choleric old gentleman who has suddenly taken huff at not being con sulted by his colleagues, and determined to have his own way, when to have it will be to ensure starvation of millions— who would with greater effect quote (for he does not eschew hacknied quotations) " From Marlborough's eyes the streams of dotage flow ?" Who would better describe Lord STANLEY'S capacities of statesmanship, or with more withering effect paint the Pre mier, stung by a snake whom he had nursed in his own bosom, turned upon and beaten by Mr. SIDNEY llEn nErr, of whom, not twelve months ago, to all the world's surprise, be made a Cabinet Minister? It is rather soon for Mr. lIEP.BERT to be playing his own game. He looks, of course, to be hereafter the leader of the Conservative party. There is no Conservative of his standing at present likely to contest with him future pre-eminence in the House of Com mons. But his young ambition wants curbing, if he thinks to thrust Sir ROBERT PEEL from his stool. However, personal and party questions are as nothing in this great emergency; and what we most lament in the non-appearance of au Order in Council for opening the ports, is that the Cabinet may resort to the alternative of calling Parliament together to settle the question. It is not yet too late to open the ports without Parliament. Time has been lost, certainly. Mr. COBDEN has only given vent to natural feelings of indignation at another packet having been allowed to sail for America without conveying a message of Face and plenty. But the Cabinet may still determine on an Order in Council ; and better, far better, a ill it be that they should do so, than that they should incur the inevitable delay of party and personal squabbles in St. Stephen's, and when, in a time of famine, more bread was to be had if the Ministry were bold, and leave it to be said that party fears and prejudices deprived famishing millions of food. having been run away with by two enormous fallacies.

The Chambers may vote any sums they please for building ships of war; France may possess the finest docks in the world, and the finest vessels, but money cannot make sailors, and without an ample supply of able and skilful sea men, men accustomed from youth to the hardships of the ocean, and deterred by no danger, the most powerful navy in the world would in the space of two or three years' war, become only a useless incumbrance. It was the trade of Holland, employing so many merchant vessels, that first raised that small republic to a great naval power, and its strength in that respect has decreased exactly in proportion as other states have become more en gaged in the carrying trade. These are chiefly England and the United States of America, who, probably, have larger commercial navies than any other tea states in the world. Some of the influential men in France begin to view the question in this light, and to place no confidence in the strength of a French fleet till a new system is adopted, by which the navigation laws shall be altered and colonies formed as nurseries for French seamen. The Prince DE JOINVILLE seems to be partly of that opinion, and is compelled, therefore, in the meantime, to look to steam-ships, and other modern inventions, as the only grounds for security against the vast resources of England and the United States. But a steam navy is at best but a doubtful arm of defence. Steam ships are of great use in rendering assistance to a fleet; they are excellent for bombarding towns, and as privateers would be unrivalled, but without a vast proportion of large sailing vessels, manned with good seamen, they could make no im pression in a great naval fight. The French journals, there fore, that call out for increasing the naval power of the country are directing the attention of the Chambers to this important subject, and urging, as they have for years done, the Goverment to lose no time m adopting great measures for rendering the navy really effective. A long article on this subject, as we stated yesterday) appears in the Flotte, in which a comparative view is taken of the actual strength of the English and French navies, and in almost every respect superiority is given to the former. The following analysis of the English fleet is thus stated : Three-deckers afloat, 19, carrying from 120 to 104 guns. Two-deckers 'afloat, 32, carry ing from 90 to 70 guns. Frigates afloat, 64, carrying from 60 to 36 guns ; and corvettes, brigs, &c., 95, carrying from 26 to 10 guns. The French actual naval force is given as follows :—Three-deckers, 4, with 120 guns each. Two-deckers, 19, carrying from 100 to 80 guns. Frigates, 28, carrying from 60 to 40 guns; and other small vessels 65, with 30 to 10 guns each. The total force of each nation, including vessels building, is reckoned as fol lows :—English, 282 ; French, 161. After stating the man ner in which this force of vessels of the line, frigates, and brigs is divided, numbering those armed, the advance-ships, and the reserve, the Flotte makes the following remarks :—" The three-deckers and the vessels of 92 to 78 guns are i❑ perfect order. The 23 of 70 to 76 alone are eut of repair; nearly the whole of them re quire repairs, and that of an important description, pro_ bably for one-third of them. They are the oldest vessels of the British navy. They are ordinarily when armed employed upon distant stations. Thus then, should England wish to make a great demonstration of her maritime force, it must be evident to those who are acquainted with the English arsenals, and the power of the Admiralty, that within a month after the orders should be dispatched from London the 28 vessels and 6 advance-ships might be joined to the 15 vessels and 15 armed frigates, making a total of 43 vessels, of which 12 three- deckers and 21 frigates would be furnished in time of war with the best sailors. What could France do if she wished to contend against this powerful fleet ? To the eight ships and 12 armed frigates she might join four ships and four frigates afloat, and arm promptly enough five ships and five frigates in ordinary. These vessels ought to have their materiel complete; but such is the penury of our arsenals, that it is frequently necessary to take from the ships in ordinary the exchanges indis pensable for the armed vessels. Admitting then, that a month after the declaration of war, these vessels were com pletely ready to go to sea, we should have 17 ships and 23 frigates to oppose to 43 ships, 12 of which are three-deckers, and 21 frigates." This is a striking difference in point of numerical force, but the difference is still greater in the qualities of the combatan's. The sailors of both na tions are equally brave. but mere bravery without other qualities cannot obtain victories, and supposing, with the Prince DE JOINVILLE for a moment, that by some accident the French fleet should obtain over the English a great victory, it would be equal to a defeat. One-half possibly of the goad seamen would be killed or disabled. There is no commercial navy from which recruits could be had to supply the defi ciency, and the defeated English would in a few months, perhaps weeks, issue from their harbours with a new fleet fully manned and equipped, to which the French had no adequate force to oppose. The writer comes to the conclu sion, as stated in The Sun of yesterday, that before France can compete with England she must have maritime commerce and colonies. The former, certainly, she may in crease by abolishing foolish monopolies, by encouraging other nations to trade with her on liberal terms, and by some alter ation of her navigation laws. But colonies cannot be created in a few years—a century would be required. and even then, the French, to make them useful, must change their whole system of colonization. From all parts of the United Kingdom accounts continue to pour in of the hopeless and very frighful condition of the potato crop. The murrain, in various types, displays itself with a degree of intensity only aggravated as the season for pitting or storing advances to its close. By the accounts from %Sunderland which we yesterday published, it would seem that a form of disea:o more hideous than the mere generation of fungus and parasitical excrescences of a vege table nature is now becoming apparent. The potato is found, in this state, to be infested with myriads of minute red worm, the larvae of which are deposited throughout the whole superficial texture of the bulb. It is melan choly to reflect how large a proportion of the hardy and industrious population of those colliery and shipping districts of which Sunderland is one of the principal ports will be condemned, from poverty and other causes, during the winter upon which we are now rapidly verging, to subsist, largely, on a root thus infected with noisome cor ruption. For, on the too favourable supposition, even, that employment may be found for this industrial community throughout that inclement quarter to almost as great an extent, and on equally advantageous terms, as at present ; those " other causes" will operate with baleful effect against their chance of obtaining more wholesome and nutritious food. In any case they will have to contend against the posi tive evil of reduced and really inadequate wages to which " competition," in all the departments of agriculture, mining, manufactures, and commerce have been gradually but sternly sihjecting the whole industrial labour of Great Britain. This is the first difficulty which will interpose itself to their pro curing sound and salutary food. It may appear very strange to them—it will be felt very hard by them—that though they may find the market of employment open to them, and may manfully set themselves to the most laborious occupa tions, working over-hours, and making all imaginable sa crifices of domestic comfort and needful rest for that purpose ; the scale of their wages shall be utterly unremunerative ; or, at any rate, be controlled by a perpetual tendency to diminish rather than to increase. Their astonishment and disappointment will only prove that they are no more capable of appreciating the merits of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S tampering with our monetary system, than we are. The second difficulty in the way of their getting at better food—that is to say, good bread instead of diseased potatoes —is also the more formidable one. The cruel, the wanton the wicked operation of the existing corn-laws does not per mit to poor men that modification of the penalty of poverty, which they would realise on being but half-starved. The exigency of the a sliding-scale" is—like the test of qualifying misery prescribed by the New Poor-law--absolute, ab ject destitution. When there is not corn enough in the kingdom to stop the saucy mouth of famine, Sir ROBERT'S sliding-scale slides down as glibly as the marking slider on the scale of a " ladies' shoema ker's " foot rule. When the balance of parochial economy trembles between the expenses of a famishing fellow creature's removal " to his parish," the fees incident to a magistrate's " order of removal," and the charges of con stables and conveyance, with the sequents of the coroner's inquest and the undertaker's bill, in the event of death before granting out-door relief or receiving the sufferer into the in firmary of the union, it is cmceived by the Poor-law authori ties that the pivot point is turned, and the prohibition duties —on :human sympathy—run down to that line on the " scale," which open to them not the out-porta, but the por tals of the poor-house. To entitle you to be fed, you must be all but beyond the power of feeding. To give you a claim to eat cheap bread, you must first have exhausted your substance in purchasing it at the dearest possible rate. Here again is a philosophy of which, though taught by Sir ROBERT PEEL as " Emeritus Professor," we doubt very much whether our Boeotian com patriots of the North can be brought to perceive either the beauty or the advantages. How vexatious for the Premier, who has allowed a dozen Cabinet Councils, within little more than as many days, to be summoned, assembled, adjourned, re-assembled, and dismissed, with no more practical results than those of a dozen remarkably bad lucifer matches, vainly ignited and contemptuously thrown away I Our deficient corn harvest is not to be supplemented by foreign importations. Our pestilence. smitten potato crop must not be replaced by sound corn. The throes of coming famine are not yet sufficiently convulsive. We suffer, but are not yet frenzied. We complain, but we shall go on some time longer—perhaps—without raving. So, there is still no "Order in Council" for opening the ports. The "sliding scale" continues to fall, by a necessity, inherent in its own construction, as irresistible as the law of gravitation. It is admitted on all hands that its touching that point of de clension at which it becomes neutralised or extinct would, under existing circumstances, avert an incalculable amount of present privation and suffering, and an unknown ex tent of future misery, from the devoted heads of millions et our poorer fellow-creatures and country men. To linger at the penultimate stage is to perish of inanition on the very borders and within sight of plenty. But the Prime Mi nister will not allow even the SOVEREIGN to accelerate this consummation. He has inflicted upon the whole empire, for the last quarter of a century, the curse of dear money. He seems resolved now, upon perpetuating, if it be possible, or maintaining, for as long a term to come, the curse of dear bread. No Minister who was not interested, as he is, in this dearness both of the inc commodity and the other—as a large money capitalist and a large landowner—could have endured for one week the contemplation of the working of his corn-law and his money legislation. The former he has based upon the principles of that rule which COCKER and WALKING IIAME have denominated "simple (i. e. self) interest' , The latter he seems to have framed on no higher elements than those of " vulgar fractions." The one is an exempli fication of the most obtuse prejudice—the other, evidence of the most exploded prepossessions of modern European states manship. But the time is at hand at which the popular voice will vindicate its own demands in the name of com mon sense and common humanity. 411 ministers of expe dients ultimately succumb to principles. The Premier's public career has been a succession of dramas, of which the plot was always founded on the attempt to set up an expe dient, and the catastrophe the establishment of the rightful principle. He has yet to "go through " the denouement of his tragic farce of " The Gold Standard ;" and the public have yet to be edified with the downfal of his usurping Cur rency Bill of 1819, and its progreny of 1826 and 1844, and the restoration of the rule of legitimate money. In reference to this matter of the currency, we postpone for want of room some further remarks which we propose to offer in confirmation of an able exposition of sound monetary principles that we had yesterday the pleasure of transferring to our columns from those of a Contemporary. But, in ad dition to the observations we submitted in onr yester day's impression on the still" increasing drain of bullion from the cellars of the Bank, and on the Bank's weekly ac count, as published in last Friday's Gazette, we desire to direct the reader's attention to these facts. That account showed a decrease in the weekly circulation of 149,000/., and the de crease in gold store (helping it out by taking credit for 1,685,0001. of silver bullion) to 304,0001.; so that to gether the two item% of decrease amounted to 453,0001. But, on the other side, one class of deposits had last week increased from 8,930,134 i. to 9,099,737 e ; a difference in the amount of their banking floating capital of 169,603 i. Their " Rest" had increased by 12,320 e; their " Public deposits" by 163,396/.—total of in crease on these items, 345,389/. Now,inreference to the com bined operation of deposits' locked up, and circulation re duced, and bullion stores diminished, this account represents a pressure on the public circulation equivalent to the sum of the actual aggregate of the heads of decrease, and that of the items of increase, to the extent of which latter the com mercial public has always a right—under the automaton ma chinery adapted by Sir ROBERT PEEL to the action of the Bank of England—to expect to be benefited. Here we verily believe lies the secret of Sir ROBERT'S aversion to an Order i; Council, opening the ports to ft'reign corn. Ho knows that the gold bullion would flow out of the country upon the same tide on which the vessels that bad brought the consignments of grain would sail down the river on the:r homeward voyage, with return cargoes, not of manufactured goods—which at present you cannot persuade the foreigner to take in exchange for wheat —but with your vainly hoarded soverei . 2 t must, how eTer, owe to this. i rrealier Le a " d; Otilictxt of (Laffitte's) Ditto (Rosamel's) 3 Do.

Some of the journals refer to the circumstance as a proof of the growing credit of the Government, and we hope it is not founded on some other shallow foundation, brought about by a company of jobbers. The funds have not only risen, but a great deal of business has been done. The note to the official bulletin gives the fol lowing prices :—Three per Cents., 36% for cash, and 37% for time, and good business done ; Five per Cents., from 254 to 25%. The accounts received at Paris from the French Ambas sador at Constantinople, are considered highly favourable. It appears from them that the Ottoman Porte had yielded to the demands of Baron DE BOURQUENEY for satisfaction, relative to the murder of the French priest and the indemni ties to the convents which had suffered from a late popular commotion. The supposed murderer is to be brought, with out delay, to Constantinople, to undergo his trial; all the French subjects who had been obliged to quit the Lebanon are to be reinstated in their establishments, and compensation is to be made to the inmates of the convents of Abey and Solima. This is considered a great triumph on the part of France. These results are thus given in the Journal des pacts :--4 4 We have received news from Constantinople of the 23d Oct., and are happy to be able to state, that the differences which have arisen between the Porte and the Ambassador of France have been settled, and that entire satisfaction has been given to the demands made by the Baron DE BOURQUENEY. The Ambassador had demanded the punishment of the murderers of Father CHARLES, a priest, placed under the protection of France, who was massacred in the Lebanon, in the month of May last, and had also pro tested against the order given by CHEKIB EFFENDI, Minister of Foreign Affairs, and Commissioner of the Porte in Syria, for all European subjects to quit the moun tain. 'The Baron DE BOURQUENEY had given in an ultimatum to the effect that French subjects should be immediately replaced in their establishments, and that an indemnity should be granted to those who had been compelled to quit them, in consequence of the refusal of pro tection—that the Sheik Mom], should be summoned to Constantinople, and that he should be tried for his conduct in the events of May—that the guilty parties should be sought out, and that the port should pay indemnities for the sack of the convents of Abey and Solima, and that the officer who commanded the detachment of troops present at the sacking of the convent of Abe 3 be punished. This ultimatum has been accepted entirely by the Porte. The necessary orders were sent to CHEKIB EFFENDI two days after, and M. BOUREE, Consul of France, started immediately for his poet, to watch over the execution of these orders." It also appears, from accounts of the same date, that some important changes have taken place in the Turkish Ministry. RESCUED PACHA, now Ambassador at Paris, is recalled for the purpose of being placed at the head of the Cabinet with the title of Minister for Foreign Affairs. This is ad mitted on all hands to be a good appointment. SARIS! EFFENDI, at present ambassador in London, goes in the same capacity to Paris, and CHEKIB EFFENDI, the late Minister of Foreign Affairs, and at present commissioner in Syria, goes as ambassador to London. BAHRI EFFENDI, the secretary of the embassy in Paris, remains in Paris in the meantime as Charge d'Affaires. We extract from the Semaphore de Marseilles the follow ing curious paragraph : LONDON, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1843 To say nothing is not more the business of a royal speech to Parliament than of a Minister's oratory at the Mansion- hou.e ; and Sir JAMES GRAHAM appears to have done hisbest on Monday to keep within the bounds of nothingness. But the emergency of the times triumphed over even Sir 'Lames GRAFI Am's oratorical dexterity. And when the Home Minis ter spoke of the responsibilities of Government in this country, where, " from time to time, difficulties must arise which no human prudence could anticipate, and which no human wisdom or power could avert," it would seem aslif the thoughts which, at this time, waking or sleeping, must be uppermost in a Cabinet Minister's mind, were struggling to force their wav into utterance in spite of the restraints which policy and the genius loci im posed. The chord was delicately touched, it must be confessed ; but it was a chord to which every bosom in the room must have responded ; and the proprieties of the place could alone have saved Sir JAMES GRAHAM from a troublesome inter ruption, in the shape of a question, " What are you now going to do?" The Cabinet have met,"and met, and met, and have dispersed with no outward sign of a resolution come to, at a time when famine threatens the land—ani there are already signa ,also, of pestilence, which ever comes in famine's wake, and is now. even anticipating the usual time. The City, where this, though not the !east, is but one of many causes of apprehension, is in a state of fever and consternition. " Will the ports be opened ? " is the question in every man's mouth. Till the ports are opened, no man can say what will be worst; and there is no safety for the monied interest. It would have been difficult, then, for Sir JAMES GRAHAM, in the City, on Monday, to have chased utterly away the thought of th• im pending danger; and we wonder that in the City, eves though the occasion was one of ceremony and common-place, be escaped questioning, exhortation, and remonstrance, from the assembled bankers and merchants of London. " We have been assured that a letter written by Abd-el-Kader, and forwarded to Paris by General Cavaignac, had struck terror into the heart of an august personage, and sadly complicates the em barrassments of the situation. The Emir is said to have declared that during the last ten years he had constantly held in his hands the lives of the princes and generals who had fought In Africa ; that he had under his orders 1,200 fanatics, ready to suffer martyr dom, who were most anxious to repeat the scene of Kleber, and purify themselves in the blood of the Christian generals; that he had hitherto restrained the religious ardour of these sectaries of Mahomet, but that in future he should be guided by the attitude which France would assume towards him. It is added that at the moment when this alarming notification reached Paris, the Depar. cure of the Duke of Montpensier had been agreed in council, but that the tears of the Queen caused it to be adjourned." And yet Sir JAMES GRAHA3I might have wished to invite expression of opinion, and may have gone back to Sir R. PEEL disappointed that his delicate feeler had failed to elicit a response. Beyond a delicate feeler he could not go, The Home Minister has acquired some character in cunning; and those who know but little of his past political life, know e nough to give him credit for no refinement of feeling to wards friends with, whom he has differed. Of the course which Sir ROBERT PEEL and Sir JAMES GRAHAM have taken in the Cabinet, there can be no manner of doubt. Common rumour but 4 gives to thew the part which their known eagiscity—ja A good deal of business was done, both at TORTONI'S and the Boulevard des Italiens, on Sunday, when prices had con siderably improved.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 10,000 bags, of which speculators took 6,000. Prices did not advance, but were well supported. Each day's post brings with it a vast body of evidence of the rising state of the market for potatoes and grain, and of the full expectation that as the winter advances the poorer classes must suffer from famine by reason of a still further enhancement. The question is demanded in all quarters— " What are the Ministers about ?" All classes—the mer• chant, the banker, the tradesmen, and the masses, require earnestly for a present reply. Aa for any commission being appointed now to inquire into the subject referred to above, as was stated yesterday, is held to be entirely out of the question. Until there is esmething definite made public upon this topic, the funds will be inju riously influenced, and trade and commercial operations be all but suspended. The accounts received by the merchants connected with the West Indies by the steamer just arrived, are considered of a most satisfactory character. The immense arrival of specie from Mexico (2,751,193 dollars) is about the largest remittance brought by the royal mail steamers. The Mexican dividesd fund will be increased considerably by the present arrival. The Funds have to-day exhibited symptoms of improve ment again, and there is a further slight advance in prices. Consols are 96 to 96% for present transfer, and 96% to. for account. Exchequer Bills have advanced to 255. and 28s. premium. Bank Stock is rather better, being 200 to 201 1 A. New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. are 97 to 97%. The Foreign market is buoyant. Spanish Bonds have touched 28 3 / 4 to 29 1 / s for the Five per Cents., and 37 3 / 4 to 38 for the Three per Cents. Portuguese Converted Stock fur Account has been quoted 57. Mexican Bonds have been at 31 3 / 4 to 32; Dutch Two-and-a• Half per Cents. are 60 to 60%. Shares are held more firmly. Stables and Richmond are very scarce in the market, owing to the South Western having guaranteed 4 per cent. on its capital, and an equal division of the profits above that sum.

THE WEST INDIA MAIL. ®The Avon steam-ship, of the Royal Mail Company, Cap tain Norton, arrived at Southampton on Monday from Mexico, the West Indies, &c., with the usual mails. The latest dates she brings are—From Tampico, Sept. 26, Vera Cruz, Oct. 2, Havannah, Oct. 11, Honduras, Sept. 20, Chagres, Sept. 25, Jamaica, Oct. 9, Carthagena, Sept. 28, Demerara, Oct. 5, Trinidad, Oct. 7, Barbadoes, Oct. 10, Grenada, Oct. 11, St. Thomas, Oct. 15, Porto Rico, Oct. 13, Jacmel, Oct. 11, St. Jago de Cuba, Oct. 6, St. Juan de Nicaragua, Sept. 23, and Bermuda, Sept. '22. The Avon brings on freight 2,751,193 dollars, being by far the greatest number ever yet brought by one of these steamers. Of these, 74,895 are from Vera Cruz, on account of the Mexican dividends ; and 6,000 from Tampico, which, considering the state of affairs in that distracted country, may be considered as a pretty fair remittonce. There are also on board 505 ounces of gold dust, 147 serous of cochineal, 15 lbs. of platina, and a box of pearls, beside 30 turtle, on consignment. Her Majesty's ships Eurydice and Persian were at Sacrifl dos (both healthy); as also the American man-of-war Fal mouth, of 24 guns; ditto St. Mary's, 22 guns; ditto Sara toge, 20 guns; ditto John Adams, 20 guns; ditto Sormes, 10 guns; ditto Porpoise, 12 guns; ditto Union steamer, 16 guns Likewise the Spanish steamer La Patriots, of 20 guns ; and the French man-of-war Griffin, of 18 guns. Her Majesty's surveying-vessel Thunder, Captain Barnett, was at Bermuda, but about to sail for Nassau, N.P. The Royal Mail Company's steamer Tweed, Captain Par sons, arrived at St. Thomas's on tha 14th of. October, and at Grenada on the 10th. The Medway, Captain Andrews, left Havannah for the Gulf on the 10th. 'The Forth, Captain Chapman sailed from Bermuda, on the 22d October, for Nassau. The schooner Lee sailed from Havannah for Hon • duras on the Bth of October. The Josephine was off Tampico on the 26th of September, waiting a smooth bar. The Bathurst, in Ireland Dock, Ber muda, was to sail for Jamaica the day after the Avon left. The Susan brig arrived at Vera Cruz on the Ist of October, spoke the Gem, of Halifax, on the 6th of November, in lat. 47 deg. N., long. 18 W.' The Avon, according to the Post-office arrangements, was due on the 7th ; but in consequence of being detained at Bermuda for the West India mails, she did not leave there until the 22d : computing, therefore, the average duration of the passage, she is only a day and a quarter over due at Southampton. And even this is satisfactorily accounted for in the very tempestuous weather she has undergone. The Avon has encountered a succession of gales from the N.E., with heavy seas the whole of the passage. Part of her pad dle-boxes are washed way, and she bas sustained some other trifling damages. In the Gulf of Mexico she ex perienced two " northers ;" and on the 12th of October, whilst in the Gulf of Florida, another terriSc gale sprung up, which lasted 48 hours; and from the 15th to the `2lst, the Avon had a most boisterous time of it. Captain Norton re ports, that taking the who'e voyat,e together, he never saw such weather, and notwithstanding the noble vessel necessa rily laboured a great deal, sae rode out the gales admiral)) MEXICO. Everything was quiet in Mexico when the Avon left, but matters looked somewhat warlike. The troops (such as they are) were being drilled and exercised from daylight until dark, and guns have been mounted on every available space. The appearance of the seven American men•of--war at the Sacrilicios had, however, rather dismayed the Mexicans. With the English, French, and Spanish, thee are eleven altogether, and the fleet had somewhat an im posing appearance. The ex-President General Comalesco and son, with the Minister of War, Bussandne, took their passages from Vera Cruz to Havannah, to join Santa Anna. This latter personage, it appears, is wonderfully getting into favour again. 1. complete reaction has taken place, and it tit he rci,ta':c:ft with all his former houonrs. There is no news of particular moment from the West It4clia islands. COURT CJRCULAR.
