•••••••--_
We have received America---•
n Papers tv:o days later than
those previously received. The only articles of importance
are i:iserted elsewhere.

It wes reported at New Orleans, in the end of :August.
that an insurrection hail broken ont at Vera Crux, the oh-
jee: cf wliich was to cree. a separation in Mexico similar
to that which has I tel attimpted by PAL 7. in Colombia.
At Pentium, ale, it appears that apprehensions of ccnspi-
racies were entertained, which had occasionel the arrest
and impsisonment of several reepectablo Mar-
tin: law had been proclaimed, and continued in force for
five days; but it anew!' that farther investirtions ascer-
tained the unfounded nature of the rumours. The p.:r-
sons arrested were liberated, and every thing i-i said to
have been restored to tranquillity. Whether from this, or
from the ostensible cause of the unhealthiness of the cli-
mate, it appears that the Congress, after passing some acts,
adjourned to a town in the States of Mexico. for which
the Deputies were to set out on the 24th July. The ru-
moured conspiracy is said to have originated with a male-
factor, who lied communicated a false account totliouven,
fur the purpose of delaying ids execution. lie asserted
that the conspiracy extended allover the Isthmus.

In soother part of to-day's Paper will he found a letter
relative to the Colombian Loan, which will probably at-
tract the attention of our readers. It contains accounts
*Each we have every reason to believe well founded, in so
far at least as reoartls the immediate business of these
Loans. Ac to the observations of our correspondent, rela-
tive-to the author of the City articles in the limes, that is
no business of ours, but in so far as Once articles regard
the public. Having no interest ourselsta in the fluctua-
tions of the Stock Market, and considering a Journalist
who suffers his gambling in that war to influnce his deal-
%tiers as not len culpable than a Minister, or Member of
Pa:liament, who makes use of Crovernne.nt intelligence,
or the influence of Parliamentary eloquence. for !.iinilar
r.:rposeri. we are willing to hope that the 7;turs does not
degrade the Press, as it is generally surposed to do, by
tut Wing the editorial chair, which ought to be the seat of
hist:cc, into a bar for special pleaders. For the credit of
the corps to which we belong, we hope that the general
opinion on this subject is groundless, or at least that the
ro'srepresentations on such subjects are only the impercep-
interpoiatinns which are apt to slide in where one's
own intem.t is concerned—not the deliberate and wilful
perversions cf the Stack-jobhfng swindler, who never scru-
ples tl,fahrieriie plausible falsehoods, and never mentions
what is actually true but when it answers the purpose of

his own speculations. While on the subject of the Times
City 'nicks, we may just mention a system of tactics
which appesr: to have been adopted in that Journal.
Their City correspondent metros lately to advocate restric-
tions on commerce, while the Paper professes to be favour-
able to free trade. There is one Journal already which
has undertaken apparently to advocate the most opposite
princips in the game sheet. Perhaps it is intended to
pursue the game course in the Times. We hope not ; for
we slinald like as little to belong to the corps of time- I
servers as jo that of stork-jobbing swindlers. It appears,
however, that the Colombian Bonds afforded yesterday a
subject w!II:11 calls forth all the manoeuvres of the stock-
jobbers. The Stock Exchange yesterday exhibited in many
cases rather the appearance of an assemblage of drunken
squabblers than of men of business. Matters seemed some-
times to approach a decision by the rote de fait, menaces
and language of no courtly import being used on several
ocertions with great freedom. The very state of the share
list, at different times of the thy, would show in what s
feverish state the market continued. A fluctuation of 7
per CC112., without any perceptible cause, denotes the ex-
istence of something which we can hardly designate by
any name bat that of swindling. We tin not know whether
our sa..k-jobbers arc aware of the fact, but we merely
remind them that men who have once obtained a certain
character in the Stock market can often dexterously prevent
the truth from king believed, by insisting ton strongly upon
it.: Whether any manoeuvre of this sort has been used,
we leave to others to determine.

CITY, FRIDAY EVENING.
The transactions in the British Fundi to-day have not
been upon an extended scale. The Market opened at sO}
to 1, and, in consequence of the principal Bears having de-
liveted their Stock yesterday, Consols went up to 84 ;
they did not, however, retain this quotation long, but sub-
sided to their opening price, and at which they also closed.
A defaulter, in the shape of a Bear, was declared late in
the day, which occasioned some hustle. He is considered
a person of respectability, and, as he continued to pay and
receive up nearly to the close of business, it is apprehended
that he will be enabled to make up his deficiencies. In

Excht quer Bills and India Bonds there is no alteration.
Tho state of excitation in the Foreign Market has ex•
ceeded every thing of the kind which has occurred for
years pact. Colombian Bonds, which at the commence-
men. of business may be quoted at 414, were done as high
as W. and as low as 34, the quotation being at four
o'clock 3S! to 39, buyers. To trace them through all their
various lluetultions throughout the day would indeed be
en endless work ' • but imagination may form some idea of
it when the whole difference, as between the highest and
lowest price, was nearly, if not quite, 7 per cent. ; not a
gradual operation, but varying in a quarter of an hour
from two to three per cent. tither way. The scene of con-
fusion was so great, and the clamour so astounding,
that at times apprehensions were entertained that
some parties would actually commit a breach of the peace
by coming to blows. Before the close of the Market,
however, order—if order can ever be said to reign where
so many persons are assembled upon such a noisy business
—was restored, both Bulls and Bears being literally tired
our. The insurance on the policy has reached about
10,0001.; but, from some cause which does not appear, I
tht re was no attempt to add a line to it in the last hour of
business, which is generally that in which most is done.
One thing is certain, that the violent transitions of to-
day, and which have led to the demonstration of such ex-
cited feelin gs, have occurred with the full knowledge of
Mr. Ileaysno's statement; therefore, at least as regards
these transactions, he cannot be held responsible, by parties
who are disposed to hold him so, for those which took place
lip to the period of his sanction being obtained by the bro-
kers for the effecting the policy. As regaris Mr. flea-
it may be said that the strongest expressions of dis-
approbation, a; to his not giving a public notice of his hav-
ing received an order from his Government to insure, came
generally from those who were not holders of Stock at the
time of the advance taking place. The fair presumption
is, as things stand at present, that the money will arrive;
and until the contrary is proved, either by the time expir-
ing without its shipment, or from a contradtelon, by the Co-
lombian Government, of the orders Mr. Iluicrano states
lie has received, his conduct must be considered as ho-
nourable ; at least this is a common principle of justice,
which every man resident in England has a right to claim
even though he may not have had the good fortune to b;
horn there. As to whether Mr. Ile RTADO ought to have
informed the Bondholders of his having received an order
to insure before he gave instructions for effecting the po-
, licy is a matter of opinion, upon which every person is not
, agreed, but upon which persons may and do legitimately
' differ:— .

Mexican Bonds have improved nearly one per cent., in
consequence of the insurance of additional sums of specie
by the Hussar ; she hail not, hawever, arrived at Vera
Cruz on the 7th of August, the (late of the last accounts
from thence. At the close of the market they were 62i
to 63t. Chilian partake of a similar improvement, from
the expectation that the dividend will he paid, and are at
40. Greek and Spanish do not show any alteration.
The Share Market shows at this moment, perhaps, one
of the most extraordinary changes in the value of property
that can well be conceived within a shot t perird. IM
Monies, which, a few days ago, were 100 discount, have
suddenly returned to par, and have. indeed, been from
that quotation to '2O prem. It is said that a vein of the
finest ores, never yet worked, has been discovered, extend-
ing over a surface of 250 fathoms, and that the eight en-
gines sent out have been conducted to their situation, with-
out accident, over roads formerly accessible to mules only.
The Bolanos also have advanced to 20 prem. Brazil are
at 11 to 12 prem.
The Corn Market has displayed an exception to its ge-
neral rule to-day, there having been more done in Oats
than on Wednesday. Pric. s remain as nearly as possible
the same in every respect as last marktd.
1:1 M;neing-lane the sales of Coffee have been of a brisk
character, with a trifling amendment in prices. Sugar
retains its last quotation, with more doing than in the early
part of the week ; and, upon the whole, there is a gradual
appearance of improvement.
hxchanges are as nearly as possible the sante as on
Tuesday.

COLOMBIAN Loa N.—Under the City article, one of the
papers of yesterday having insinuated that there existed an
improper understanding between Mr. Hurtado and Mr.
Hendricks in regard to certain speculations said to have
been entered into by the Inner in Colombian Bonds, we
ate aulier:zed to slate Mr. Hurtado neither directly nor in-
dirrctly himself, or was interested in any specu-
lations entered into by Mr. Hendricks, or by any other
person.
It was rumoured at Havannah that an embargo would
be laid on all vessels lying at the Mo!e, on the 28th of
August.
TIIKATY WITH Mrictro.—Thy New rd lc Times says,
" A friend has obligingly h nd d us an extract of a letter,
dated Mexico, Itth of July, troin our Minister, Mr. Poin-
sett' in which he states, ih it he had just concluded and
limited a treaty of amity and commerce with that country,
and that he did not apprehend any difficulty in the Con-
gress there, although the treaty must be approved by both
Hons. 9."

tt'c regret that we gave insertion rstcrday to a letter
from %I/Allem Jefftys, as we arc now satisfied that, under
the plea of correcting misspelt mules in u police report, ,!
that person has attacked one whose uniform kindness to
him we have s:en acknowledged in his own hand-writing.
LIVERPOOL, ()Cl'. 12.—Onr Cotton market 1183 been

ever, we experienced a little Letter inquiry, and about
Lan bags have been disposed of, but in ',fine instances

i;,uno or 7,0C3 hags have been sold, including this day.
