Ttic New York Journal of Commerce of the 25th ult. gives
a letter from its correspondent at Monte Video, - dated April
23, from which we extract the following:—
" We have

Lietautly refused

received notice to-day of a blockade of this
port, made by the government of Buenos Ayres, to take
effect on the Ist of April, against every thing of provision
kind.

'' The British commodore is expecting very important
despatches from his government in relation to the present
crisis, and sends up the British government strainer from
this place to Rio, fpr the purpose of transmitting the de-
spatches with more expedition. This letter goes by her, to
be forwarded from that place. do believe, from all I can
learn, that if the place holds out thirty days longer the
Bviiish government will throw its weight with the Monte-
videans, and thus secure their independence; if not,.the
blood of thousands will cry from the ground for vengeance
on Mr. Mandeville, the British minister at Buenos Ayres,
who hes encouraged the Montevideans to resistance with an
assurance of intervention on tke part of England, and now
having placed them where they must, to appearances, soon
have their throats cut, he very quietly says he hasuothing to
do in the business.

" In addition to the irreparable injury which he has done
his countrymen in Monte Video, he has deeply tarnished the
honotir of the British crown, and his disgrace by removal,
which I have no doubt will take place, will but poorly com-
pensate for the injury his pernicious conduct has inflicted on
thousands. By the Britannia, which I send you by this con-
veyance, you will see that the English citizens represent Mr.
Mandeville's conduct as it should be, and are not disposed to
submit to his sullying the honour of their country.
" All commercial business has ceased for some time in
Monte Video, with the exception of sales for daily con-
sumption of the city. Flour is in demand at about ten
Spanish dollars. ,

On 7th June, at 10 30 n.m., exchanged colours with
British brig Reliance, miming up Channel. At noon,

LARDNEIt AT f\TATCHEZ.-Dr. Lardner is still lectur-

has waked up an astonishing degree of curiosity there, and
fairly set the Natoliezese all agog to know what is the colour
of the inhabitants of the ninon—whether they are 11Iahome-
tans, Mormonites, or Presbyterians—whether they have ad-
vanced as far as Fourierism yet, and if so, whether they go
for " community with individuality," or "community with-
out individuality"—and above all, whether they cultivate
Kinderhook cabbages, mint juleps, Durham Cattle, and Berk-
shire pigs. All these phi:esophical questions have been pro-
poundec to the learned doctor; and if he should unfortu-
nately make up his mind that the moon, like the continent
of America, cannot be reached by steam, very scientific and
satisfactory answers may shortly be expected

This noble vessel which left New York in the afterncidri of
the 25th ult., arrived at this port on Wednesday morning at
five o'clock. She had made the passage in 13 days and a
half. We subjoin a list of the passengers, one hundred and
twenty-eight in number, among whom are Bishop Chabrite
and Mr. Sandon, the celebrated American financier. We
understand that fifty more passengers would have come over
in the Great Western if accommodation could have been
afforded them. The papers brought by this vessel are ten
days later than those. brought by the Hibernia.

A speech of Mr. Webster of Baltimore, is the chief subject
of discussion in the papers brought by this arrival. Mr.
Webster, who was a strenuous advocate of the tariff, finding
that it has become extensively unpopular, with all but the
tr►anufscturers, now cbmes forward to advocate the repeal of
that protective measure by commercial treaties. On tins
subject the New York American remarks as follows :—" The
project of arranging the duties upon imports between this

country and Great Britain, by diplomatic negotiation, to
which allusion has before been ►nrde by us, was more fully
developed by Mr. Webster, in a recent speech, ut a public
dinner given to him by the merchants of Baltimore. Mr.
Webster is, indeed, no longer in office; and therefore, what
he says, he say

_ s a private citizen. Nevertheless, it seems
reasonable to infer, that the views expressed by him, are
those shared by the President and his advisers, and therefore
likely; if sanctioned to any considerable. extent by the public
voice, to be carried out. The notion seems to be that the
two governments may come to an understanding as to the
duties upon which each will admit the produce or manufac-
tures of the other—and when the basis of this is arranged, to
make the accomplishment of the project dependant upon the
consent and necessary legislation of the Parliament and

The object is a mutual reduction of duties, and the articles
upon which it is supposed such an arrangement may operate
favourably from our side, are rice, tobacco, and Indian corn.
Those in which Great Britain may be berietitted, will he the
whole range of manufactured articles with which she supplies
us.

But this statsment of the case seems to exclude the notion
of anything like reciprocity—since the whole value of any
supposed additional exports of these commodities from the
United States, in consequence of diminished duties, would
be little iu comparison with that of the increased supply of
manufactures, which such a cause would induce to our
country from Great Britain.

This elementary view of the question leaves out all the
wider considerations connected with the mooted topics of
the policy or impolicy of a protective tariff, and upon the
single point of reciprocity, seems to condemn this new
schems as unequal.

Whatever may be the result, it seems curtain, from the
annexed extract of a letter of the 3d instant, addressed by
Mr. Webster to some of his personal and political friends
in Boston, who had expressed the hope that -he would not
retire from the cabinet without putting in :rain this negotia.
Lion—that this gentleman does not expect to take any part
therein.

" As to myself, gentlemen, I have no expectation of being
concerned, in any manner, in the negotiations connected.
with this subject, and •ain happy to know that the country
has many hands, ablsr than mine, to wield such concerns.
The government has eminent ability at its command, both
at home and abroad. I have no wish to go abroad on public
service. If negotiations should be entered into, there are
reasons tnr desiring that they should he undertaken at Wash-
ington ; in which ease, according to the usual course, they
would be conducted by the head of the department of state,
under the direction of the president."
The money- market continued buoyant, and money was
cheap and abundant. Some of the Banks had laoned at 4
per cent. on the security of New York State Stocks. The
tendendy was still upwards. Exchange on this country was
dull, and the business transacted for the steamer was but li-
mited. The rate on London was 108 to 1081 ; Paris 5 30;
Amsterdam 391 ; Hamburg 35; and Bremen 77. United
States Sixes are quoted at 12,1.

Accounts from Yucatan mention numerous actions between
the Texican and Mexican naval forces on that coast. The
affairs seem to have been very gallant on the part of the Tex-
ians, whose artillery caused serious damage to the Mexican
vessels, particularly to the iron Steamers of war Guadaloupe
and Montezuma. On shore the Mexican forces had sustai-
ned serious disaster. The army of two thousand sent
against Merida, the capital of Yucatan, had surrendered
themselves prisoners of war, and the troops before Campea-
city were on the point of capitulating to the Yucatecoes.
Those successes had ensured the independence of the repub-
