ampton on Thursday morning, bringing' 49 passengers,
and the wual mails. Her dates are,—Tampico, Nov. 22;
Vera Cruz, Dec, 1. She brings no dollars on account of
Mexican dividends, but 1,837,361 dollars on merchants'
account, The West India papers are very barren of news.

to the Sugar Duties Bill, and some additional public meet-
ings have been held, at which strong condemnatory reso-
lutions have been passed.

29th of October. The correspondent of the Times states

that he haslearned, from anthori. ty on which reliance maybe
placed, that a secret negociation is on foot for the reconci-

by liarzon, who is said to possess much influence over
the natives of the Banda Oriental, serving in General
Oribe's army. General Garzon sent an agent to General
Rivera, shortly before the latter's departure from Monte
Video, for the purpose of making proposals for a coalition
of himself and his friends with the party of General Rivera.
