General Scott wits at Puebla at the la-L accounts. The
editors of El Acro Iris hail mceived daics from the
capital to the 2d of June. Santa Anna had a second
time sent in his resignation of the Presidency ; Congress
had not, however, up to that time, accepted it. He had
also made a formal resignation of his office as Com-
mander-in-Chief of the army, wh;ch, like his resignation
of the Presidency, remained in abeyance, Congress not
having acted on either. Rejou. and five other generals,
whose names are not given, have been arrested and sent
to the different states for confinement.

The estimated loss of Colonel M'lntosh's party is
about 4,000 dolls. For miles the road is covered with
empty boxes and bacon sides, which had been captered
by the en' my.
There are no preparations to defend any point be-
tween Puebla and the capital. All the odds and ends
of the array are collected in the city, about 20,000 in
number, but are poorly armed and miserable material.
The gallant Captain Walker has cttminenced his work
of retaliation on the guerillas. On the morning of the
Bth instant he started with his command from Perote, on
an expedition of some distance into the interior. During
he expedition he succeded in capturing ninetee❑
guerillas and an alcade. He has employed them in
cleaning the streets and the sinks.
A letter had been received in Vera Crux on the 15th
instant, previous to the sailing of the Galv( ston, direct
from the head-quarters or General Scott, stating that
General Scott had issut d orders for the removal of the
government trom Vera Cruz to Tuxpan. This change
was said to be in part owing to the sickness in Vera
Cruz, and because communicate ns could be more easily
kept up between Tuxpan and Puebla than between the
latter place and Vera Cruz.

COMMERCIAL.
(From the Courier and Inquirer.).

NEW YORK, JUNE 30.—The business of this country
is active and prosperous to a rare degree. All pursuits
are thriving, money is abundant, and the prospects of the
growing crops most promising. The news by the Cam-
bria, of the 4th instant, the latest we yet have, disap-
pointed speculation, and brought down all prices for bread-
stuffs. The fall of flour may be stated at least one dollar
per barrel between prices now and those ruling imme-
diately before the Cambria's arrival; and in wheat and
Indian corn a fall of about 20 cents per bushel. The
rate of exchange upon England continues steady at
from 6 to 6k, and unless it falls below that, coin will
not be brought from abroad. The receipts of flour
and grain from the interior continue large, and we are
more and more confirmed in the view we have uniformly
taken of this subject, that the stock in the country is
larger than we can find means of transporting to the
seaboard for shipment. Freights are moderate, and con-
sequently exportations steady and large.
The wheat harvest in the Southern States bas com-
menced, and looks well. The hot weather of the last
few days has greatly advanced the Indian corn, which
was planted late, and now, unless most unseasonable
weather should occur in August, an enormous crop of
this grain may be safely counted on. The potato, too,
which to a much greater extent than ever before has
been planted in the Eastern and Middle States, looks
very well. It is, indeed, too early yet, before the plant
has blossomed, to speak with confidence of its exemption
from disease, but thus far the vines, as we learn from
all quarters, look well and vigorous.
The credit of Government continues good, and the
price of United States stock, and indeed of other sound
stocks, is high, with a steady demand and upward ten-
dency. The great accession to the wealth of the country
by reason of the large and profitable exportation of
bread-stuffs, and its general diffusion, are nowhere more
strikingly illustrated than by the fact that all the money
needed for carrying on the war, some thirty millions,
in addition to the ordinary revenue, had been furnished
by our capitalists, and the stock bears a considerable
premium—a premium that will be still further enhanced
if peace should_ensue. Very considerable railroad enter-
prises likewise find the requisite capital; that, for in-
stance, of completing the Erie Railroad to connect New
York, through its south-eastern counties, with Lake
Erie, near the confines of Pennsylvania; and two new
and very important roads, the one parallel with the
tludson River, between New York and Albany, and
another to connect New York with New Haven, and thus
complete an inland line of railroads between this city
and Boston. These are expensive works, yet for all
these the capital has been found without apparently
diminishing or injuriously diverting capital usually em-
ployed in commercial and business operations.
The immense accession of foreign immigrants will not
be felt as an evil, at a moment when the demand for
labour is constant and heavy works are in progress.
The sickly condition in which some of them arrive has
indeed occasioned solicitude about the public health, but
the precautions taken at this port, certainly, and neces•
sarily at other ports, will at once present the best
security for the recovery of the sick, and against the
spread of the disease—ship fever.
Upon the whole the picture we are enabled to present
of the condition of our country is most satisfactory;
and come but peace with Mexico, and we shall be indeed
most fortunate in all our relations.

Cotton—The buoyant feeling which manifested itself
on receipt of the Cambria's advices of the 4th inst. has
subsided, and a dullness or rather a tone of indifference
(on both sides) now exists.

The transactions will continue light until the receipt
of later advices.

The stock on sale at the annexed quotations is very
small, and the sales average about 500 to 600 bales per
day :

Flour, &c.—A considerable decline has taken place in
bread-stuffs since the departure of the steamer of the 16th

8 dolls. 75c. to 8 dolls. 871 c. Since the arrival of the
Cambria prices have gradually declined to 6 dolls.
874 c. to 7 dolls. 121 c. for Michigan and Ohio, and 7 dolls.
12ic. to 7 dolls. 25c. for Genessee, at which large sales
have been made. Tho transactions this morning have
not been extensive, but holders are firm. Southern flour
is dull at 7 dolls. 25c. Rye flour is held at 6 dolls. to
6 dolls. 123-c. Corn meal is in fair demand at 4 dolls.
50c. for New York State, and 5 dolls. for New Jersey.
The market is well supplied with Indian Corn. The
sales since Saturday last amount to 160,000 bushels,
closing at 96c. to 98c. for northern yellow, 94c. for
western (flat), and 86c. to 90c. for mixed lots. The
supplies of Wheat have also been extensive, and prices
have given way. Sales of white Ohio are made at 1,58
dolls. Genessee may be quoted at 1,75 dolls. A sample
of new wheat from Charleston was exhibited yesterday,
and 400 bushels offered at 2 dolls., without finding a pur-
chaser. Rye is held at 110 c. per 561bs. Barley, 70c. to
75c. per 481bs.

CANADA.
(From the Montreal Herald, June 28.)
We have little to record in the political world beyond
what will be found in our report of the proceedings in
Parliament. Attempts have been made in both Houses,
by her Majesty's Opposition, to throw her Majesty's
Canadian Cabinet into a minority, but with equal want
of success.

In connexion with this subject, we may mention that
the Ministry have laid on the table of the House a
translation of certain correspondence which passed be-
tween them and Mr. Caron, the late Speaker of the
Legislative Council, relative to the reconstruction of the
Ministry, so as to admit some gentlemen enjoying the
confidence of the French Canadian population to the
Executive Council. The course of the negotiations,
judging from the correspondence, seems to have been
this: Lord Elgin first addressed a memorandum to Mr.
Caron, requesting his advice as to the best means of
forming a coalition Ministry, containing gentlemen who
have the confidence of the French Canadians; saying,
that he desired no sacrifice of principle, but
expressing his hope that personal and party
differences would, if any such existed, give way to
patriotism and the public good. Upon this basis Mr.
Caron entered upon the negotiation, and in order to
be quite sure of his ground he proposed several
questions to the Ministry, among which was this—
Whether there were any person whom there would be
no use to propose on his side? He was answered that
there was no objection to any person. It was then
arranged that as the Cabinet is composed of seven mem-
bers, three gentlemen from Upper Canada should be
named, and three from Lower Canada, the seventh place
being the Provincial Secretary.hip, occupied by Mr.
Daly, to be filled afterwards by the Governor-General,
with the advice of the six. This seems to have been
understood as a bargain on both sides, but suddenly Mr.
Caron signified to the Ministry that they plot exclude
