The latest telegraphic account from New Orleans
is to the 26th of June, at which date the great cre-
vasse at Sauve's plantation had been closed, and the
water in the inundated district was rapidly receding.
The health of the city was reported to be good.
By an arrival at New Orleans we have dates from
the city of Mexico to the 4th of June.
The discovery of gold in California was awakening
much of the cupidity of the Mexican character. Re-
grets are expressed in the journals that the territory
should have been ceded to the United States. The
inhabitants of San Luis Potosi were in a state of
great alarm, in consequence of The near approach of
the Indian insurgents to Sierra Gorda, and the un-
protected state of the intervening country. General
Guzman had ben accused of withdrawing forces
from active operation, with a view to open hostile
demonstrations against the general Government. The
Apaches and Comanches continue their barbarous
inroads on the frontier States, robbing an I murdering
the inhabitants, &c. Sonora and Durango were the
most exposed. The cholera bad nearly disappeared from
Monterey. War in the Sierra Gorda, notwithstanding
the submission of Quiroz, the chief of the insurgents,
was still going on, with but little hopes of a speedy
termination. fhrough the bad management of the
Government officials, and the disorganization of the
army, the soldiers sere continually deserting. The
state of Vera Cruz had voted medals for distribution
among those who had distinguished themselves in the
defence of Vera Cruz when bombarded by General
Scott. The Spanish Consul had received one. An
extra session of Congress was to commence on the
Ist of July at Mexico, rendered necessary by im-
portant events which would admit of no delay. El
Arco Iris, of the 31st ult., says, that the late Mi-
nister, Pina y Cuevas, dispatched an order to London
by the mail steamer, to the firm of J. Schneider and
Co., fiscal agents of the Government, to prosecute the
investigation into the affair with the house of Lizardi
and Cu., relative to the emission of bonds in the Lon-
don market, with a view to protect the interests of
Mexico. The same paper urges on his successor to
follow up the project initiated by Senor Pina y
Cuevas. A bill has been introduced into Congress for
sinking 8,000,000 dollars to come out of the indemnity
to be paid by the United States, to be applied for the
gradual reduction and payment of the internal debt of
the Republic.
We have dates from Porto Cabello to the Bth of
June. The excitement against Monagas and his
party was unceasing, in consequence of the pressure
occasioned by the arbitrary laws passed. It was the
opinion of well•infortned persons that Paez would be
in power in 60 days. A revolution was expected
daily. Monagas was at Valency, about 49 miles from
Porto Cabello.
From St. John's (N.8.),.we learn that the fires in
the woods still prevailed to an alarming extent in
different parts of the province, and many farm-houses,
barns, fields of grain, and much other valuable pros
petty have been completely destroyed.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

NEW YORK, JUNE 27.
The Crops—Our season is propitious the harvest—
after a cool, damp.spring, warm but bright weather,
bringing rapidly to maturity the wheat and other winter
grain, and favouring very much the Indian corn plant.
Our surplus of cereal grain bids fair to be very large.
Money Market—Our money market is abundantly
supplied, and the prices of stocks are high. The demand
for Europe*n bills is not large by this pacjtet, sellers
rather reserving themselves for the packet of the second
week in July, when a considerable amount of dividends
to be remitted way possibly, cause a better demand at
higher rates. Mils on Loudon rule from 8i to 9i. United States Sixes of '67 bring 117; ditto Treasury
Noter. A loan at about 1,750,000 (10111. was negotiated
by the state of New York last wet k, on a 6 per cent.
stA ck of 16 yklirs' niftiest, payabl:_ quarterly, which
brought on an average more than 11 per cent. prem.
More than eight millions were bid, and a larger amount
than the %hob Mb proposed to be borrowed was bid for
on foreign account. As it is HothEchilds took about
400.000 dollars.

Illinois Dividend—Notice has been given that a divi-
dend of " 5 dolls. on each 1,000 dulls." will be paid upon
the stock of the state of Illinois at the agency in this
city, on and after the 2d of July next.
Pennsylvania Interest—The Philadelphia bulletin
says, that the State Treasurer has made en arrangement
with four of the Philadelphia banks, whereby the state
interest, due in August next, will be paid in par funds.
In order to carry this very desirable arrangement into
effect, it is understood that the collectors of tolls and
taxes throughout the commonwealth are directed to re-
ceive no notes in'payment except the relief issues and
thu notes of such banks as will redeem the same in par
funds in Philadelphia.
Breadstuff;—There has been quite a moderate busi-
ness transacted in flour during the last fortnight, and
prices remain without any material change. The Eng-
lish ()niers are mostly limited at 25c. to 50c. per barrel
under our present quotations, and the principal transac-
tions on that account are for uninspected and fine at 4
dolls. to 4 dulls. 25c. per barrel. Indian corn is in good
request for export, and the clearances are large.
Present appearances indicate that the coming crop of
wheat and curn will be an abundant one, but it is too
early yet to judge with any certainty. The exports
from this port to Great Britain and Ireland, for the
fortnight endirg on the 19th incr., consisted of 30,820
barrels of fl ,ur, 16,205 bushels of wheat, and 413,768
bushels of Indian corn. Freights of corn are a trifle
better, the last engagements having been at 6id. to 60.,
and on flour Is. 6,1. per barrel to Liverpool.
Freights—To London we notice engagements of 2,000
barrels North County turpentine at 25.; 1,000 barrels
oil coke, 2s 6(1.; and 100 tons provisions, &c., 30s. To
Liverpool, 150,000 bushels corn and wheat, in bulk, at
6.11. to Gid.; 5,000 to 6,000 barrels flour (none yester-
day), is. Gd.; cotton, 1 doll. per bale and P. per lb.;
end bacon, lard, &c., 225. 6d. To Ireland, we heard of
two vessels for Cork and a market at Bd., and the barque
Governor Hinckley, for Belfast, at 7d. for corn. To
Havre, still very dull; cotton, tallow, and whalebone,
of a colt.; and ashes, 6 dolls. to 8 dolls.
Cotton—Our notice of the market for transmission by
the Europa left it quite dull; this was succeeded by
an increased business and more firmness until the arrival
of the America's favourable advice:, when, with an ac-
tive demand, partly on speculation, prices advanced
fully ic. pf:r lb , and our quotations now stand
that much higher than on the 15th inst. Since our last
there has continued a good demand, and the improve-
ment utniced above has been well maintained. The
receipts at all the shipping ports are 2.635,789 bales
aglinea 2,193,109 to same dates last year—an increase
this season of 442,680 bales. The total foreign export
this year is 472,932 bales more than last—say, 345,340
bales increase to Great 13ritein, 62,081 increase to France,
49,277 increase to north of Europe, and 16,234 increase
to other foreign ports. The shipments from southern
to northern ports are 160,767 bales more this season
than last, and there is a decrease in stock of 105,913
bales.
