A(lvices 'Crum Aoapulc, to th, 116 of June state that
Mr: Rice, tLe AMOTICaI Consul, bad been arrested and
committed to prison by the Mexican authorities, on
coconut of come transactions con:waited with the sale
of tlity steamer Commodore Stockton. Tee following
prtrtietfikre of the occurrence are given, which it wrs
lia7ed would lead to trouble between the two Govern-
meats:—
" Our Bag has been struck at Acapulco, and the nation
insulted, by the arrest and imprisonment of Mr. F. W.
Rice, the Consul. The propeller Commodore Stockton
was advertised for public sale by the Consul, by order of
the captain, and purchased by the chief engineer on be-
half of himself and some others of the crew. The terms of
the sale required a certain sum to be paid down within a
few hours, and the balance within one day. The purchaser
asked and obtained a delay of making the first payment
twice, and at length the Consul, in accordance with mercan-
tile usage, advertised for sale again on account of the former
purchaser--ha having failed to comply with the terms of the
sale—and posted the notices of the sale in different parts of
the city, all of which were nearly torn down by the chief
engineer, including one posted on the door of the Consul's
office; and on approaching for the purpose of removing
another's notice of the sale posted on the Consul's house, Mr.
Rice appeared pistol in hand, and obliged him to desist and
leave the premises. For this a complaint was entered, and
the Consul, in his uniform, with his flag in his hand, was con-
signed to prison."
By these advices it also appears that President Arista
seriously meditates a coup d'etat. The following appears
on this subject in the Aew York Herald :--
" It is more than probable, in the present exhausted con-
dition of the public treasury, and on account of the hope.-
less state in which the llite Congress, has left the country,
that ere this reaches you some stirring scenes will have been
enacted. It is stated that, in view of the pressing internal and
external difficulties by which President Arista is sorrounded
in view of the exigencies of a bankrupt treasury and the im-
minent hazards of a domestic revolution—he has proposed
to our Minister, Mr. Letcher, a basis of settlement at once
broad enough to secure a solid Government for Mexico, and
the satisfaction of all reasonable demands and claims of the
citizens and Government of the United States against it.
President Arista, in a word, psoposee to imitate the brilliant
example of the coup cretat of Louis Napoleon by assuming

The following on this subject is extracted from the
New York Herald :
"It appears that a grave misunderstanding has taken
place between the French Minister and the Mexican Go•
vernment, growing out of the promise to pay 2,500,000 dolls.
on account of the English debt. The question was, to know
whether or not the duty imposed by the fiscal laws upon
money sent to a foreign country would be paid. M. Falcon-
net, the representative of English creditors, held that the
arrangement would not be in accordance with good faith if
the creditors were to pay 200,000 dolls. duty on the funds.
The Mexican Government approved the reasons of M. Fab.
connet. But the French Minister protested, and demanded
that the law shall be applied to all alike. He sent very
strong diplomatic notes to the Mexican Government, and it
is said that one was returned to the Legation. It is, says
Le Trait d' Union, the cause of the departure of the Se-
cretary of the Legation for France. It is believed that the
English Minister has promised his aid to the Mexican Go-
vernment in the affair. If so, it will become a Franco-Anglo-
Mexican question."
A telegraphic dispatch from Washington,: dated the
2d inst., states that Mr. Webster had expressed himself
strongly opposed to the movement in favour of an inde-
pendent nomination for the Presidency. The Select
Committee of the Senate had reported that the great
mass of statistics in reference to the census, compiled at
an enormous cost to the country, are, from the negli-
gence or want of capacity with which they had been
procured, completely unreliable.
The British mail steamer Quito, Captain Wells,
arrived at Panama on tho 18:11 June, with dates from
Valparaiso to the 30th May. The accounts of the silver
mines at Copiapo continued favourable. The magnetic
electric-telegraph between Copiapo and Valparaiso had
been brought out by Mr. Wheelwright, in shares of 500
dolls. each; capital 200,000 dolls.
The following is the latest intelligence received from
Peru and Ecuador by the Quito:—
. perm—The result of Flores' expeditions against Guay..
aquil was anxiously looked for, the more so as the Republic
of New Granada bad assumed a decidedly hostile attitude;
to meet which Peru was also making some warlike prepara-
tions. Recent periodicals from Lima advise the proximate
intention of the Government to effect some changes in the
licenses of trade as affecting foreigners (patents), and also
some new arrangements respecting guano; among ethers,
that of keeping the Chincha Islands under the eye of a Go-
vernment steamer.
Ecunnon.—By private advices we learn that Flores was
at Puna on the 4th inst. with 950 men, all in good health..
The brig Tres Hermalios, under the command of Major Jack-
son, and the Union, with 15 men, both from this port, had
arrived at atPuna,and joined the expedition.
steam-ship Quickstep had also arrived, and landed
40 passengers at Guayaquil, The latter vessel returned to
Payta for coal, where she was on the 12th inst.
" Much sickness prevailed among the soldiers of the Ecua-
dorian Government at Guayaquil, and 20 to 30 were dying
daily."

"'Captain Donin was at Gnayquil with the United States
frigate Portsmouth, and purposed sailing for Panama on the
sth inst.

" It was thought that the Flores' expedition was in a
rather precarious position, unless Peru rendered prompt and
open aid.

" The Peruvian steam-ship Rimac, with a brig of war,
had been at Puna, with an admiral on board of the former,
who intimated to General Urbina that he was ready to enter
into a convention for Flores to leave Ecuador; but the chief
magistrate would make no arrangements whatever, deeming
the course pursued by the Peruvian Government in the whole
affair as unfriendly and treacherous.
