LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

THIS DAY, Four o'Clock.
NEWS FROM AMERICA.

By the Britannia, arrived at Liverpool, we have
utoante from New York to the 3let July. The
Amor Weehington had arrived out on the previous

dap
Adviccs to the 18th ult. from Vera Cruz state, that
the peace party in Mexico had prevailed, and that
Santa Anna had agreed to propositions for an
amicable arrangement with the United States. An
expos was said to have reached Penhla, announcing
the appointment, by the Mexican government, of four
coansissionera to meet Mr. Trist, but though the
Ent conference was fixed for the 4th July, nothing
farther is stated on the subject of negotia-
Coo& General Scott remained at Puebla, and
Gam& Cadwallader and Pillow, with their
fareea at Perote. front whence they were to march
for Peubla on the 9th of July. It was stated
that they had defeated the Mexicans at Lahoya.
General Pierce, whe had marched from Vera Cruz,
with 2,300. had been engaged with 4,000 Mexicans at
Netional Bridge. The latter, according to the Ameri-
can accounts, were defeated, with a loss of 1.50 killed.
Getters] Pierce, however, had to return from Vera
Cron for reinforcements. Colonel De Rnssy had been
attacked by 1,200 Mexicans at Hujuetia, surrounded,
and placed in great peril, He, however, succeeded in
gallantly cutting his way through the enemy, with
the loss ti twenty killed and ten wounded.
General Taylor made a speech at a dinner given
by the citizens of Monterey, on the 4th of July, in
reply to a toast connecting his name with the
Presidency of the United States.
A letter from the city of Mexico, dated the 2nd,
says that no doubts are entertained that the treaty
wfil be immediately concluded by the commissioners,
and that the peace party is so strong that Santa Anna
will probably pronounce for peace. The names of
the commissioners given are Garotise, Baronda, and
Tornel.

-----
The New I #rk Enquirer of the 31st nit. says :
A very unusual interval had elapsed without any direct
or authentic intelligence, either from the army of General
Scott, or from the city of Mexico; and the interruption
seemed only to be explicable on the supposition that guerilla
patio cut off all transient communication with the sea coast.
By last evenings telegraph we have Vera Cruz dates to
the Nth inst., and Intelligence from Puebla, where General
Scott still was, and from the city of Mexico to the 3rd inst.
The intelligence is various and contradictory—in one breath
'peaking of commissioners being sent from Mexico to treat of
peso. with Mr. Trist, and in another recounting the serious
corgi:ion made ut the National Bridge to the advance of
Colonel Pirree'e strong column, and the consequent falling
tack upon Vert Cruz of that column.
In this pleition of things we are at a loss to form any sure
layout upon the chances of the future. Fur several
daysjust peat strong expectations of a peaceful solution to
the Mexican qoestion seemed to prevail both at Washington
and in this city—but the nature of the news and the real
towertaintv of any calculation founded on the Mexican
thkracter, lave leterly shaken somewhst this expectation,
sod we see all at sea again.
The news from Mexico seemed to have created a
great sensation in New York. There was • craving
for peace, and people believed it immediately attain-
able. The appointment of commissioners by Mexico
was regarded as a step in the right direction, and
negotiations were entered on: there was little doubt
of the result.

The price of breadstuffs had declined after the
arrival of the Britannia ; but the Washington, which
arrived on the 30th, took out intelligence of an ad-
vance of prices in England. The consequence was,
that prices went suddenly up; but as this was only
the day before sailing, the precise result is yet to be
known. _

There had been a destructive lire at New York;
and Christ's Church was burned. A hospital adjoin-
ing was also in danger, but was fortunately.saved.
The treasurer has sent by the Britannia a com-
mission, to examine into the condition of warehouses
in England, to collect all information upon the sub-
ject there, both as to the law and the practice under
their system.
The arrivals of breadstuff' in New York were de-
creasing.
The wheat and 7e harvest is now nearly com-
pleted, and upon all sides we hear of good crops, and
there are no complaints of failures of any importance.
A few weeks will see our grain crops gathered fully, and
the qualities ascertained, so that merchants can esti-
mate the amount for sale, and our European cus-
tomers know how much we can supply.
The cotton crop does not look so well as usual, and
making all allowance for interested reports, published
in the cotton country, it is pretty evident that that
crop wid not exceed the average of the past three
years. The crop is full one month later, and an early
frost would give us a crop much less than we have
bad for some years.
A short crop of cotton is now manifest. For the
drat six months in the present year the reports on
this subject were not heeded. They had been so often
circulated without any reality, and operators had
been so frequently deceived, that they were considered
as idle rumours.

The Courier and Enquirer says:
The chances, certainly, are adverse to a large crop. but the
quantity of land planted is unusually great, and there ore
plenty of plants in the fields. Though some of them are very
mall, a combination of favourable circumstances may yet
produce a large crop, but nothing short of such a combines
turn can leave any room for expecting over 2,400,000 bales.
The result, however, has shown that the deficiency in the
mop is greater than was predicted. The reduced stock and
the limited supply has aroused the attention of the manufac-
turers to the real state of things. The staple now begins to
move at the present high prices • and, taking the consurop-
bah into account, it is believed by those familiar with the
subject that three hundred thousand bales of cotton will
yet have to go forward this year, to meet the required de-
mands there. Should this estimate be correct, it will amount
to about twelve millions of dollars. This, in addition to the
Wady exports of breadstuffs that are constantly going for-
ward, will increase the amount of indebtedness by England
beyond any reasonable amount of goods we shall want, or
that can probably under any circumstances, be sent to this
market.
In consequence of the large importations of goods the past
week or two, and the continued receipts, it was supposed that
foreign exchange would go up by this steamer, and possibly
by the next, if they afterwards fell off. Such, however, ap-
pears not to be the case. Sterling bills are abundant, at 1051
to 100, and some as low as 105; those least in favour at the
latter, and those in the best credit at the highest point.
