The private letters from Mexico of the 30th June state that
all was tranquil there. A forced loan of two millions of dol.
lars has been raised, to prosecute the war against the
Texians. The general opinion was, that the Mexicans would
not succeed.

Viscount Melbourne, accompanied by his nephew,
the Hon. Captain Cowper, is expected to pay a short visit to
his paternal seat, Melbourne Hall, Derbyshire. The Mel-
bourne family have the patronage of four livings in that county.
It is rumoured that Count de Lottrun, Prussian
Minister at the Hague, is to succeed Baron Bulow at our
Court. The Count is at present on a tour in this country.
Lord Deerhurst and his newly-married lady, daughter
of Sir Charles Cockerell, are gone to pass the autumn at a
marine villa at West Cowes.
The Earl of Fingal arrived in Liverpool from Dub-
lin on Monday morning, in his Majesty's packet Thetis. His
Lordship proceeded on immediately to London, to take his
seat in the House of Lords, and to return to his Majesty the
badge and order of St. Patrick, worn by his father, the late
Earl.

The Marchioness of Lansdowne and the Eail and
Countess of Kerry were to have set off yestei day from Lans-
downe-house for Falmouth, on their way to embark for Lisbon,
for the improvement of Lord Kerry's health, but his Lord-
ship's medical attendants pronounce him to be unable to un-
dergo the voyage. The answer to the numerous inquiries
yesterday was, that the young Earl had passed a quiet night,
but there was no amendment in his health. The Countess of
Kerry, (laughter of Lord Duncannon, who was reported to
have been in ill health, at Hastings, is quite well.
PARIS, A uG. 17.—His Neapolitan Majestycontinues
here, actively engaged in visiting everything worth inspecting.
With regard to his matrimonial views, most people believe that
he entertains some upon one of the Princesses of Orleans, and
that they have been stimulated by a repulse at Vienna, •,,,hich is
ascribed to the little happiness which his late conse-et received
from her marriage. If we believe rumour, ''..iegotiations are
proceeding, but perplexed by his *Majesty requiring
4,000,000 f. with his bride, whilst king Leopold was pro-
mised bat 1,000,000 f. It is, m'aeover, said that the young
King requires security for the payment of the 4,000,000
francs, and will not be content with that offered by Madame
Adelaide in the shape of a mansion at Paris, and her estate
of Randan, la Auvergne. The are but rumours.
According to a report, the truth of which we can-
not guarantee, Lord Durham is preparing for a voyage to
England ; at all events, his absence would be short. We
are assured that his Lordship continues to enjoy the most dis-
tinguished and personal favour of the powerful Monarch at
whose Court he has the tumour to represent his Sovereign.—

FRONTIERS OF RUSSIA, AUG. 2.—Nothing cer-
tain is yet known respecting the journey of the Emperor to
the southern provinces of the empire. The Emperor, indeed,
is always accompanied by so small a number of persons on
those journeys, that the inhabitants even of the capital are
ordinarily not informed of his departure, otherwise than by the
disappearance of the Imperial standard, which is hoisted on
the Palace during the whole time of his presence there.
EAST GRINSTEAD.—On Monday the Princess
Victoria and Duchess of Kent passed through here, and East
Grinstead was made merry by the ringing of bells, and other
demonstrations of joy and lo:-alty ; the Royal carriage was
bestrewed with choice flowers. While at the Dorset Hotel,
the salutations of the assemblage were politely acknowledged
1 by the fair Princess and her Royal im,ther.
T.
DE HA RVEsT.—We have to congratulate the
armor on the general appearance of the crops, notwithstand-
ing the apprehensions that were generally entertained as to
their falling short. We are assured by our correspondents
in different parts of the country, that there will be an abundant
produce in every description of grain, although the straw will
be somewhat deficient. The potatoe crop, which it was
feared had failed in many parts of the country, appear to be
recovering itself tinder the present genial weather. New
potatoes are already exported from Belfast and Londonderry,
by steamers, to Glasgow, where they sell at 2d. and 3d. a
peck cheaper than the Scotch potatoes, which are of much
inferior quality. Reaping has commenced almost everywhere.

It is observed that a greater number of Russians are
travelling in foreign countries than for some years past, and
as there are among them a large proportion of officers in ac-
tual service; this is considered as a good sign of the continu-
ance of peace.
DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT LIVERPOOL.-- On Lies-
day night last, about half-past eleven o'clock, a destructive fire
broke out in Launcelot's-hey, Liverpool—a street which, with
its immediate vicinity, seems destined to be the scene of fre-
quent calamities from the number of disastrous and extensive
fires which have taken place there within the last two years.
The fire broke out at the hour above mentioned, and was dis-
covered by the pane under Mr. Whitty. • The scene was the
warehouse of Messrs. Sands, Hodgson and Co., which was
filled with cotton recently imported from America. There
were 4,000 hales of Cattail stowed, valued at 15,000/., which
WON Wholly isonsumed. They were insured to their value.
The Royal Exchange were sufferers to the amount of 0.000/, ;
the rest was in floating policies and various offices, No lives
were lost, but the extensive pile of warehouses was wholly con-
sumed. The property destroyed is estimated at 30,000/.
