pOOdent at Philadelphia, large despatch con.
lalnlng fifty pages Of the cabinet secrets of
the UHlted States Bauk, being full lists oftke

change, for Boston, New York, Mobile, and
New Oheans-and presents one of the stran~
gest deVeIrpements IN banking alflrs and f.
nance, that waS given in any couIby.
In connection with this subject, we also
learn, that The OLD Biddle cGg&e of Phadel-

are now engaged 10 depreciatIng aud runnlog

Izod and CO ne out bitterly hosu'e 10 the U 5.
Bank and all banks. So also did several 9th
er ptpe's in the old U. s. Bank lutere.. iu
in PnIddOl pha.
The "ho'e Of this financial movement is
one Of the boedst and demoraIlzing that ever
took place IN the woLld' lis Immediate pur-
pose is TO break down all the banks of Phlla-
cephla, and 20 destroy the State credit, even
10 repatriation and bankruptcy. Ever since the
year 1880, the U. S. Bank has been managed
by set OF bold and d0shlug spirits. Mr..
BIddle himself has been one of the most ac>
compshed men in theart-he is Napoleon
in Finance, and his fate will be "a glorous aud
melancholy as his was lie aud his friends
are IN their last campaigu, just before Qusrtre

Waterloo, and the sudden movements and ey-
o'u'lonS OF directors and the press of PhlIa-

ity that nearly all The other banks in PLiladel-
Phia will explode. We are on The eve of great
events. Banking and speculalng have ruin

and coninrt of thousands and yet there ia n
clamor for more banks. This is like The cry
OF the drSnken maG-''more rum more rum.'
Hundreds and thousands Of families are res
duced 10 Peuury aud wre,cheJness by these
great financiers, and yet the cry is, "anolher

as follows:
August 81. About u'clock this evening,
Gen. Valencia declared 10 the capital for The
constitution Of 1921. HIS force consisted OF
the li,h Regiment oil Infantry, the companies
Of Pueba, the Squadron Of the district, and
Others Ihe alarm spread throughout the

which commanded the citadel were mmedl.
ateIy occupied by The insurgents. The Gov
ernment fortified itself in S N Angus inc, in
the palace, and at other points. Ahou. half
past five in the evening, BusameDte, with
column of $50 infantry, two Founders, and
l6O horse, marched 10 the Acordada, and Of
dered the insurgents 10 dsperse. The Pres
ident occupied several other points, but no
hostile demonstration was made by either Gar>
ty, and it was understood that Gen. VaIv ncia
gave notice that he would make no attack, but
merely defend his position until the arrival Of
Gen, Santa Auna. Government patrols pre-
serve order throughout the city.

yielded an inch. BIsamene retired about Il

the utmost, not over |, 900 men, little artillery,
but principally cavalry; it has 10 guard mary
different points, while the insurgents are cor
cebtrated in the CITADEL, and are strongly
fortified. Up 10 this time The communication
of the ci'izens with the insurgents remains
Tree. Indeed, both parties are looking for
the stand that may be taken by Puebla. The
Government have ordered Toneion TO ma rch
in his troops, but the general opinion is, that
they car obtain no succor from without, on ac
count of the great popularity Of the movement
of Paredes at Xasco. TO day they have sue
ceeded in obtaining secret session OF Con.
gres'. but it is rumored that it has denied The
extraordinary powers asked by Bustamene.
Much is said of his resignation but nothing
certain is known,
September q The secret session lasted
ill halt past 10 las, higdt, and it is now said
that body has voted TO the President all the
powers which he asked. At late hour, the
guard of ST. Augustine went over to the cita-
del, huzzaing for Santa Anna. Ats O'Clock
firing commenced in the direction of Mochas
and the citadel, which lasted more than an
hour,
The Censor considers the revolution, this
time cure of succeeding. Buslamene can ge,
no accession to his force, while The people are
hocking TO the revolutionary standard from
all directions.
