FOREIGN 4- COLONIAL INTELLIGENCE.

THE UNITED STATES AND MEXICO.

The-Washington, steam-ship, Captain Hewitt, arrived
at Southampton on Friday, after a fine run of 15 days
from New York, which place she left on the 18th. The
passengers for ngland were transferred to the Ruby, a
small steamer hired by the Ocean Steam Navigation Com-
pany, and, with the mails, despatched to Southampton.
The :Washington then weighed for Bremen.

The Washington brings X 30,000 in specie, and 42 pas-
sengers.
-Further important and interesting news had arrived at
New York from the seat of war. Advices had been re-
ceived from Vera Cruz to the 6th• October, and Mexico
city to the 2nd.
It appeared that open and undisguised hostilities had
broken out between Santa Anna end General Paredes. A
manifesto had been published by the latter, in which the
ex-president is denounced as an enemy to the Mexican
people, and Mexican nationality.
A telegraphic dispatch had been received at New York
from New Orleans,„stating that news had been received
from Vera Cruz to the 6th ult.

Two engagements had takenvlace with the enemy near
Puebla, in which the Mexicans lost 100 men and the
Americans 15.

Santa Anna was at Tepacan as late as the 26th October.
A sort of civil war had broken out amongst the gueril-
las, and a severe battle had taken place between the clans
of Jaranta and Canatozo. Thirty lives were lost.
The Ntw York Courier, in its leading article, says the
disappearance of coin by each successive steamer and
packet to England is alarming—needlessly to a great
extent—the mercantile community occasioning more or
less tightness in the money market.
The cotton market was again lower, with a reduction of
from one-third to one-Quarter cent per lb. The demand
was moderate. The sales for the 15th, 16th, and 17th ult.
amounted to 3000 bales.

The receipts of flour had been heavy, which had a ten-
dency to depress the market. Wheat remained inactive.
A messenger had been dispatched from Washington to
General Scott, supposed to be the bearer of instructions
against further overtures for peace. The near conclusion
of the war, therefore, does not seem probable.
The stock market was dull and declining. The exports
of gold to England, no doubt, tended much to cause the
depression. United States Treasury-notes had fallen to
par. The Burgundy, for Havre, was to leave on the 18th,
with 80,000 dollars in silver.
Exchange on England was firm at 10 per cent., with few
sellers.

The New York Sun says:—" Wednesday the lith was
one of the gloomiest days witnessed in the New York
money market since the last three years. Nearly all the
banks had ceased to advance loans, and commercial paper
of good standing was disposed of to private bankers at the
rate of 12 per cent. per annum. Everything is falling in
price. The rapid and extensive withdrawal of the precious
metals to England was almost the only topic of discussion
to-day. It appears that two millions of dollars, or as near
as possible, is the amount of coin exported from New York
and Boston since the beginning of the revulsion in Eng-
land."

The New York papers contain the whole of General
Scott's dispatches relative to his recent achievements in
Mexico. They are very lengthy, and embrace interesting
accounts of the whole of the battles.
