LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

THIS DAY, Four o'Clock.
ARRIVAL OF THE WEST INDIA AND
MEXICAN MAILS.
The Royal Mail Company's steamer Clyde, ar-
rived this morning at Southampton, has brought
accounts from Tampico to 22nd November, and
Vera Cruz, 2nd, Nassau, 14th, and Bermuda, the
21st Deo. The Clyde has on board nearly two million
dollars on merchants' account, but nothing for pay-
ment of dividends. The Americans have declared
that all Mexican ports shall be closed against further
shipments. An American squadron was off Tampico,
awaiting the arrival of troops with which to attack
Alverado, and another squadron was preparing
Ito act against Vera Cruz.
The Americans had lost two war-steamers, with a
large number of troops, and a considerable amount
of dollars. The volunteers arrived from the
United States were in a state of insubordination.

The Mexican government were taking active mea-
sures for prosecuting hostilities with success.
Santa Anna had collected twenty-tive thousand
men at San Luis Potosi, awaiting the advance of
General Taylor from Saltillo. It was reported at
Vera Cruz that be had even marched against the
Americans, and forced them to retire upon Monterey,
whereupon General Taylor attempted to negotiate a
peace, to which Santo Anna replied that no terms
would be entertained whilst an American soldier
remained on the Mexican soil, or an American vessel
was blockading a Mexican port. Santa Anna baa
published a letter in the Mexican journals, disavow-
ing the late conversion of Mexican bwds.

Our foreign express, arrived this morning, brings
Paris letters and papers of Tuesday.
The schism which we formerly noticed among the
Gasservative and Ministerial organs in Paris is com-
mented on with unsparing severity by the Opposition
of that city. The Constitution's.' of Tues-
17:1vsiews the conflict which has been carried on
between the Journal dee Debate and La Frame
the one exclaiming mournfully " the Patera;
alliance, or isolation ." and the other vociferating
with more hopeful energy " the Russian alli-
ance, or isolation !" Each, moreover, vehe-
mently maintaining that it speaks the sentiments
of Mr. Gnizot, and each the acknowledged quasi-
official organ, of the same Cabinet. " Great states-
men ;" exclaims the Constitutionnel, "great policy !
that can be defended at once by pleading pro and con,
by saying yes and no, and by sustaining two thesis
in direct contradiction to each other!"
The King and Queen of the Belgians returned to
Paris on Monday, and are now at the Tuileries.
Much anxiety continues to be felt in the financial
circles, arising chiefly from the deficiency of specie
which still continues to press on the Bank. Although
it is believed that M. liottinguer did attain his
object in London, still, that being confined merely to
a ken of 20 millions of silver, it would afford scarcely
essible relief: and the question is everywhere
aged, why the Bank does not at once negotiate
loan to such an amount as would give the
neemeary relief. The Alannis' ts reply that it is
in the power of the bank to do it. &I this produces
antodliveurable effect on every species of security,
and a general decline is the consequence. A cone-
doable fall took place on Monday, the proximate
cause of which wee a sale of unusual magnitude of
Threes and Fives; this was ascribed, but, as we ars
samered, arroneonaly, to the bank. The contraatitia
of discount, or the elevation of the rate of interest, or
both these together, is feared.
