he saw a letter, received by A. Reed, Esq., the English
Consul at Guayama, from the British Consul General at
St. Johns, Porto Rico, giving the particulars of an at-
tempt to carry off a British vessel by a pirate or priva-
teer. The vessel captured was a sloop, tobacco laden,
bound from Port-au-Platt, St. Domingo, to St. Johns.
She fell in with an armed schooner on the 28th ult., in the
Mona passage, and was taken in tow, and remained cap-
tive for thirty-six hours, when she was released on the ap-
pearance of a ship and a brig. She immediately pro-
ceeded on her voyage, and arrived safely at St. Johns. The
schooner is described as of about 130 tons burthen, with
very raking masts, and painted black. She was armed
with a long brass eighteen pounder amidships, besides two
carronades, and was well provided with small arms. Her
crew was composed of seventy men, who spoke English.
The only colour shown was a blue flag with a red cross.
The Consul-General cautions all British vessels to be on
the look-out for this privateer or pirate, but which he
thinks is most probably of the latter class.

In executive session yesterday the reciprocity treaty was
debated three hours. Many amendments were proposed
and rejected, and the treaty was reported to the session
and engrossed. It will be confirmed to-day without further
debate. There is little doubt but that the House will
finally agree to the Senate's amendments to the River and
Harbour Bill : it will probably be disposed of to-day. The
House has reduced the civil and diplomatic appropriation
bill to $13,000,000, and resolute efforts will be made to
defeat it altogether. AFTERNOON : The reciprocity bill
was to-day ratified by the

Senate.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
NEW Yoiu, AUGUST 2.
1 13IoNEY.—The Stock Market has still a downward ten-
dency. Sales to-day were to a limited extent only. Con-
tinental exchange closed with some show of firmness, but
sterlina.,.. was tame, and the range for first-class bills 1091
to 1091 with a small business done.

COT:SON.—The market during the past week was dull
and drooping, and, to effect sales, *c. to lc. decline was
submitted to for all grades under middling. The stock
unsold is reduced to a very low figure, probably not ex-
ceeding 18,000 to 20,000 bales. The transactions of the
first week, ending 29th instant, amounted to 8,500 bales,
of which 5,892 bales were for export, including parcels in
transit from New Orleans to Liverpool, and the remainder
home use and speculation.

(From Mr. W. P. Wright's Circular, of Angust 1.)
Two bales new cotton were received in New Orleans,
from Texas, on the 25th ult. Last year the first new cot-
ton received in New Orleans was also from Texas, on the
9th August. The earliest bale of new cotton last year was
received at Mobile on 7th August. The year before on
2d August, at New Orleans. This shows receipts of new
cotton this year two weeks earlier than last year, and
about one week earlier than in 1852.
The following is a statement of the movement in cotton
since the Ist of September last, as compared with the pre-
vious three years :

1854. 1853. 1832. 1851.
Receipts at the parts 2,840,000 3,191.0 2,993,000 2,312,000
Exports to Gt. Britain, 1,517,000 1,697,000 1,635,000 1,373,003
„ • France 319,000 422,000 421,000 294,000
„ other tor. ports, 326,000 347,000 344,000 230,000
Total exports
Stock on hand 222,000 150,000 98.000 143,00)
From which it will be seen that the decrease in receipts
now amounts to 358,000 bales ; the decrease in exports to
Great Britain, 180,000 ; to France, 103,000 ; other foreign
ports, 21,000. Total decrease in exports, 304,000 bales.
BREADSTUFF& Flour continues to advance ; good
brands suitable for city use are scarce and wanted, and
there is less offering of the inferior grades. We quote in-
ferior to straight and !choice State at $6 75c. to $7 50c. ;
common to good Western $7 50c. to $7 75c. ; good and
choice Ohio $8 25c. to $9. Southern kinds are firm and
rather higher. For wheat there is a good demand, with-
out much change in price. Corn was more plenty, and
the market hardly as firm. Oats are selling at 45c. to 49c.
for State and Western.
PROVISIONS.—Mess pork is rather quiet. Lard is firm
in price, but not very active. Beef is selling more freely,
without change in price. Beef hams scarce, no sales to
report ; prime mess beef, $23 to $.25.; stock small.

IsTav-Ai STORES.—The-sales include 1,000 barrels com-
mon rosin, at $1 80c. per 310 lbs. delivered; 100 barrels
spirits of turpentine, for shipment, at 48c. _ _

Asuss.—Sales of Pots have been made at $5,50 to
$5,811 for Pearls.

_
FRElGHTS.—Freights continue' extremely dull. To
Liverpool engagements were made at is. for rosin, is. 6d.
for provisions, 12s. 6d. to 15s. for measurement goods,
with some grain reported at 21d. To Havre, small lots
of cotton were taken at le.
