PIEDMONT.
The Lloyd of Vienna, which has the reputation of
being. well informed on matters connected with the
Austrian government, states that the Sardinian am-
bassador, who left Vienna in consequence of the re-
cent differences between the two cabinets, is about to
resume his poet.

ROME, MAY 31.
It is rumoured that the courtly atmosphere of
Rome is by no means in harmony with General de
Monreal's soldierly mode of thinking and acting,
and that he is so dissatisfied with his sfjour in the
Eternal City, as to be anxious to shorten it as much
as possible. In this endeavour he will doubtless be
seconded by the ecclesiastical government, since, if
Roma must needs be occupied by French troops, it
is to the interest of the priests to have complaisant
generals, of the stamp of Oudinot and Gemeau at
the head of them.

THE UNITED STATES.
ARRIVAL OF THE BALTIC.

[The following appeared in a portion of our impression
yesterday
LIVERPOOL. TUESDAY.
The United States mail steam-ship Baltic, Copt.
Comstock, arrived in the Mersey this evening, with
the usual mails from the United States and British
North American possessions, about 240 passengers,
and specie to the amount of 600,000 dols. on freight.
By this arrival advices have been received from

New York to the 28th May, the date of the departure
of the Baltic.

The Baltic reports having passed tho United
States mail steam-ship Arctic off New York on
the 28th May, which vessel left this port on the
18th ult.

It was reported at New York that active mea-
sures were being adopted by the Mexican govern-
ment to compel Governor Lane to evacuate the
Valley of Manila, a detachment 8,000 strong having
received orders to proceed thither in order to enforce
the claim made by the Mexican authorities.
The refusal by the government at Washington to
recognise the so-called Bartlett boundary, had been
construed by the Mexican government into a decla-
ration of war on the part of the United States.
A revolt was reported to have taken place amongst
the military at Vera Cruz, although not of an alarm-
ing character, and by the prompt adoption of energetic
measures by the authorities tranquillity had been
again completely restored.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
The money market at New York had been very easy
since the departure of the Cambria ; money continued
plentiful, being obtainable at present at exceedingly mode-
rate rates. The reports received respecting the general
condition of trade chow that it is at present in a most satis-
factory condition throughout the country, whilst the abun-
dance of capital would also seem to imply the probability of
• prolonged continuance of the present favourable position
of commercial affairs.

In the stock and share market a considerable amount of
activity existed, and the previous quotations were generally
well supported.
An improvement in prices had taken place in the market
for breadstuff, combined with an increased movement in
affairs; the followisg are the quotations :—Western Canal
flour, 4 dole. 621 e. to 4 dole. 75c. per barrel; Gennessee
prime wheat, 1 dol. 24e. to 1 dol. 28e. per 60 lbs. ; Indian
corn, round yellow, 64c. to 66e. per bushel ; Indian corn,
southern white, 60c. to 62c. ditto ; Indian meal, 3 dal,. to
3 dole. 121 e. per barrel.
Considerable briskness was reported as existing in the
cotton market at New York, with a good average amount
of business doing; • slight advance in prices had occurred,
to the extent of le., as will be seen by the following quota-
tions :—New Orleans and Mobile, mid. fair to fair, 11 c.
to 121 c. per lb. ; Uplands, mid. fair to fair, 111 c. to 1l c.
ditto.

The advance in price bad been caused by the reports re-
ceived being unanimous in stating that the crop was ex-
pected to be inferior in amount to the average, and also
partly in consequence of the decrease of receipts com
blued with the present extensive exportation.
The provision market was stated to be heavy, and a
general decline in prices had occurred, though the deprecia-
tion was not to any great extent.
Up to the departure of the Baltic no great variation had
occurred in freights, the asking rates being:—Freight of
grain to Liverpool, 6d. to 51d. per bushel; flour, Is. 9d. to
2s. per barrel; cotton, Id. to 5-16 d. per barrel ; ditto, to
Havre, Ic. to le. per lb.
Foreign exchanges continued firm, though the sales were
moderate. Exchange on London, 1091 to 110 ; Paris, 5.121
to 5.15 ; Hamburg, 361 to 361; Bremen, 791 to 791.
