LATEST FROM AMERICA.

By the packet ship Westchester, which arrived at Liver-
pool yesterday afternoon, in 20 days from New York, we
have received files of New York papers to the 14th ult.,
and Montreal, Quebec, and Toronto journals to late dates.
There had not been any disturbances on the frontier.
Mr. Seward, Governor of the State of New York, had is-
sued a proclamation, offering a reward of 200 dollars for
the arrest of each and every person who had been con.
cerned in incendiary aggressions.
Mr. John Stuart, brother of Sir Alexander M'Nabb,
and Lieutenant Grogan, of the 32d Regiment, fought a
duel on the 2d ult., near Toronto. Three shots were
exchanged by the parties, but neither was hurt. The
cause of the duel was the elopement of Lieutenant Gro-
gan with Mrs. Stuart.

The news from the United States is not important. The
President had left New York, and had gone to West-
chester. The French steam frigate Meteor had arrived at
New York from Havannah, and the French brig of war
Oresta had arrived at Hampton-roads from- Martinique.
The British mail-packet schooner Arrow, with Lord and
Lady Cust on board, had sailed from New York for Bar-
badoes.

The money-market is represented as still " very tight."
The share-market was very much depressed. United
States Bank shares were quoted at 1131 to 114.
The rate of exchange per the Westchester was chiefly at
110 per cent., an advance on the previous rate; but some
business was transacted even at 11041 to 110 f.
(From the Boston Transcript.)
DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AM EASrFORT, ME.--A dreadful
fire occurred at Eastport, Me., on the morning of the 6th
instant, which destroyed nearly half the property of the
town, and more than forty-one places of business. Two
vessels, the Martha and the Abigail, were totally destroy-
ed, having been aground in the dock, and several others
took fire, but were extinguished. An estimate has been
made of the property destroyed, which is put at 240,000
dollars, of which 80,000 dollars are supposed to be in-
sured.

( From the New Orleans True American.)
We have received intelligence from a quarter that can
be relied on, of the intentions of Mexico towards Texas.
The Mexican troops are to approach the western confines
of Texas in small detachments simultaneously, and to ren-
dezvous on the Rio Brazos, until the grand body shall
number about 8,000 men. The centre is to be supported
by a detachment of cavalry, stretched to the right and left,
so as to sweep the whole country. The invading ibree
is not to be less than 12,000 men. An exterminating-war
is to be waged. No quarter to man, woman, or child,
will be the watchword. Not a house to be:left standing in
the country. Universal pillage is to be allowed to incite
the soldiery to action. The whole command is to devolve
upon Bustamente, and should he be worsted in his march
by the Texians, Santa Anna is to take the field in person,
at the head of 10,000 men. The campaign is to begin in
September. -

NEW YORK MONEY MARKET, JULY 12.
The Stock Market to-day has again presented a very
depressed appearance, with a further tendency to decline
in prices. Sales were made of United States Bank, at
1131 ; Dry Dock Bank 90 ; Delaware and Hudson Canal
Company 61; Harlem Railroad Company 46 ; and
Stonington Railroad Company at 25.
The sales of sterling exchange for transmission by the
Liverpool packet to-morrow, were chiefly at 10 per cent.
premium, at which rate the Bank of the United States
were drawers to-day, being per cent. over their previous
price ; some sales have been made for the Havre packet of
the 16th at sf. 124 c., but not to any great extent ; bills on
Holland may be quoted almost nominally at 41c. ; on
Hamburg 30i to 36ic. ; and 81c. on Bremen. In the
rates of domestic exchange our quotations generally show
some advance for the last week. We now quote bills on
New Orleans at 2i to 3 per cent. discount ; on Mobile 10
to 12 ; Louisville to 3 ; Nashville sto 6 ; Natchez
to 10 ; Savannah 4 to 4i- ; Charleston 11 to 2 ; and
Augusta 4 to 5 per cent. discount.

DUTCH, HAMBURG, AND FLAN-

DERS MAILS.

BRUSSELS, Aua, I.—The King having promised to be
present at the inauguration of the branches of the Canal of
C'harleroi, will arrive on the 4th direct from Paris, at the
Chateau of Marimont, where great preparations are making
by the owner, M. Varoque, to receive his Majesty.
The'iron railroad frcm Ghent to Courtray will be opened
on the 22d. Count Diedricbstein, who is appointed Aus-
trian Minister in Belgium, will go to Vienna for instructions
before he comes to Brussels.
The Messager du Gand says, " Many superior officers,
Belgian by b.rth, but who remain in the service of King
William, accompanied the troops to Holland, are coming
successively to see their old friends. Among them is the
Count de Lens, brother of the former Governor, and now.
Major-General in the Dutch service.
We hope also to see the Duke of Saxe Weimar, who,
Ls we remember with gratitude, commanded that province
for these 15 years, where he gained the affections of all the
inhabitants."

BRUSSELS, AUGUST 2.—The Belgian troops have eva-
cuated Martelange. General le Olivier is now at Baslogn
with the staff of the 9th regiment and two battalions. The
troops in the environs of Martelange have for the most
part remained in the same cantonments.
It is said that General Gerard is going to return to
France, as well as several other French officers who held
commissions in our army. One of these officers has just
been appointed aid.de-camp to General Maquan, who
commands in the department of the North.
We hear that General Goblet will set out to-day on his
mission to Germany.
The Commissioners for fixing the boundaries have sepa-
rated. Messrs. Vilain XIV. and Grandganage will go to
Maestricht with part of the Dutch Commissioners. Messrs.
Ulfquain and Berger will remain at Luxembourg with the
other Dutch Commissioners. There will not be a general
meeting of the Commissioners till the proceedings of both
provinces are finished.

- TRIESTE, JULY 22.—Letters from Vienna say that re-
inforcements are to be sent from that port to the Levant,
and that the Austrian squadron is to be commanded by his
Imperial Highness the Archduke Frederick. Baron Ban-
diera is appointed Rear Admiral,
ANCONA, JULY 18.—We learn from Corfu that Ibrahim
Pacha, after defeating the Turks, had immediately pur-
sued them with his Light Cavalry, and that they had
already reached Koniah (?) where it is thought he will
halt, as the French Commissioner Caille overtook him
on the 2d, and urged him to suspend the purs nit of Hafiz
Pacha. It seems, however, that they are apprehensive at
Corfu that Ibrahim will be induced, in the intoxication of
victory, to lose sight of all the political considerations
which his father has to attend to, and which it is his wish
to attend to.

TRIESTE, JULY 24.—Letters from Constantinople of the
10th confirms the statement that the Divan is resolved
to conclude peace with Mehemet Ali on any terms.
Some, however, pretend that the Turkish fleet sailed with
the knowledge of the young Sultan, and that the Divan
has given evasive answers to applications of the representa-
tives of the European Powers. Perfect tranquillity pre-
vails at Constantinople. Some conspiracies, which were
discovered by strict vigilance, were suppressed at the out-
set. The Janizaries, too, began to act, and the bow-string
performs much service every night.

TILE HAGUE, JULY 31.-:-We hear that his Royal High-
ness Prince Prederick of the Netherlands will leave the
Hague to-morrow evening, and set out for Berlin.
His Royal Highness Prince Frederick Henry, accom-
panied by Captain Arriens, set out yesterday for Flushing ;
he is expected back in a few days, and will sail for the
Mediterranean at the end of the month of August.
ST. PETERSBUROH, JULY 23.—0 n Wednesday last a
ship of the line, of 120 guns, which was called the Rus-
sia, was launched at the Admiralty, in presence of the
Emperor and all the Imperial family.
ERUSSELS, JULY 31.—The King and Queen are expected
at Brussels next week. A courier from Havre arrived here
yesterday at half-past two o'clock; he passed through the city,
and proceeded by the iron railroad to Ostend to embark for
London.

The officers of the Finance Department are extremely hu'sy ;
last week they were all ordered to be at their post an hour
earlier than usual. On Sunday, it is said, 24,000 applications
were made respecting the settlement of claims in Holland.
For some days past so great a number of strangers, especially
English, arrived at Brussels, that the hotels in the Place
Royale have no means of accommodating the travellers who
are now resorting to the capital.

M. Vlemineki has summoned the Editor of the Bel9e be-
fore the Tribunal of the First Instance, to show cause why he
not should be condemned to pay 20,000 francs damages for the
injury which he pretends has been done to his reputation by the
reflections of that journal, in his nomination as officer of the
Order of Leopold.
The V estal Steamer from London which arrived at Ant-
werp on the 29th July, had on board the Marquis of Salisbury
and suite. _ _ _

nil—Yebard, a commissioner for the Belgian Government,
has presented to the Minister of the Interior a detailed report
on the establishment of French manufactures at Paris—Brus-
sels Papers, July 31.
ST. PETERSBURG, JuLY 16.—1 t appears from many orders
of the day that have lately been issued, that on the 7th,
and 12th of June, the army of the Caucasus gave a decisive
defeat to the Mountaineers, as well in the North as in the
South of Daghistan. In the order of the day, the Emperor
expresses to Lieutenant-General Golovine, Commander-in.-
Chief of the army of the Caucasus, and to all the troops
in the action of the 11 th of June, in the southern
Daghistan, bis especial gratitude, and the same to Gene-
ral Grabbe, commanding the troops in the Caucasus and
Circassia, and to the whole of his corps that was
employed en the 7th, 11th, and 12th of June, against the re-
bellious hordes. Lieutenant-General Golovine is promoted to
the rank of General of Infantry, Lieutenant-General Grabbe
to that of Adjutant-General to his Majesty ; but both are to
remain in their present situations. The same orders of the
day announced that other promotions will be made. All sub-
altern officers who were engaged in those battles are to have
donations in money, and double rations of meat and brandy.
SERVIAN FRONTIERS, JULY' 17.—The Ambassadors of the
Great Powers at Constantinople are extremely engaged. Cou-
riers are dispatched in all directions. The French and Eng-
lish Ambassadors, on learning the defeat of Haft Pacha, have
required a free passage through the Dardanelles for their fleets,
in case the Russians should pass the Bosphorus.
It is hoped that this will not be necessary, since Ibrahim
will not pass Mount Taurus. Old Tscheskin, a Russian staff
officer, is at Constantinople. He has often been. employed on
missions in Persia and Turkey, and it is supposed that he is at
Constantinople on some political mission.
HAMBURG, JULY 24.—A deputation from this town has
set out to-day for Hanover, to present an address of thanks to
the Magistrates, and especially to the Director Ruhman. A
similar deputation is gone from Bustehude, and another from
Stade will follow.

HANOVER, JULY 27.—The King's decision with respect to
the petition of the Magistrates for the re-instatement of
Ruhman, was announced yesterday, and, as was to be expected,
refuses compliance with the request. The suspension is re-
presented as a necessary step, and justified by similar measures
against Magistrates on former occasions. An assurance is given
that there was no intention of touching the rights of the City.
Huhman's conduct hitherto is decidedly blamed, especially his
opposition to the superior authorities ; and the direction of the
police, which was incumbent on him as director, could not be
left in his hands. It is further declared that the suspension is
a purely administrative act, and is in no way connected with
the criminal proceedings. In conclusion, the Magistrates are
seriously exhorted to perform their duty in the preservation of
order, otherwise his Majesty will make the most ample use of
the means which he has at his disposal.
Yesterday a proposal was made that the Representatives of
the citizens should again address the King, and request the re-
vocation of the suspension, in respect to the functions of
President, and on the other hand, if absolutely necessary,
to continue with respect to the direction of the police,
in which Ruhman never took much part. This pro-
posal, however, might be taken as a voluntary devia-
tion from the Charter, and it is, therefore, to be taken into
mature consideration. The most profound tranquillity prevails
here ; the accounts from Osnaburg and Hildesheim are not so
favourable.

Troops continue to arrive here, and a battery of four cannon
has the horses constantly harnessed. We hope that tranquillity
will be preserved, though much excitement prevails.
LIVONIA, JULY.—The Emperor of Russia has given orders
to apply the Russian law respecting mixed marriages to the
Baltic provinces, though, according to the treaties, the Lutheran
is here the established religion, and the Greek only tolerated.
However, clergymen not of the Greek Church are prohibited,
on pain of being deprived of their office, to baptise any child
whose father or mother is of the Greek religion, to administer
the rite of confirmation to any such child, not even ff the child
or both parents should earnestly desire it; or to admit any
person to the Lord's supper, who has once taken it according to
the Greek rite ; as such person is declared to be irrevocably
separated from his mother church.
k is well known that the Emlieror has bestowed estates in
Poland, belonging to condemned Polish nobles, upon Russian
Generals, on condition of having all their children educated in
the Greek religion. Not a few of the persons on whom these
favours have been conferred, are of the Lutheran religion,
several of whop, for instance, General Manderstierna, have
'demi to accept these gifts. The Emperor seems not to have
been displeaseed by this, for our journals now announce new
donations to five or six persons, one of whom is Mandersti-
erna, in which the above condition is omitted.

Turkish Ambassador Extraordinary and Minister Plenipoten-
tiary at this Court, has returned from Breslavr.—Prussian

FATAL ACCIDENT PROM DRUNKENNESS.—
A Coronet's inquest was held on Wednesday at the Che-
quers, Tuthill-street, Westminster, on the body of Charles
Fox, aged 58 years. It appeared from the evidence that
as the deceased, who was very much intoxicated, was driv-
ing at a furious rate on the wrong side of the road about
nine o'clock last Monday evening, near the Penitentiary,
Milbank, his cart came into violent collision with a phaeton
beloning to a lady residing at Kentish Town, and the de-
