BY a late arrival at Havana, Yucatan papers
had been received to the 22d ult.
Gov. Bardachano gave his answer to the COM
mander of the American brig of war in the fol-
lowing manner
Although Yucatan had declared herself indie
pendent from the rest of the Mexican Republic
since the first of January, it not their inten.
ton to be entirely separated from the nation, and
consequently the deps rtment of Yucatan should
continue to form a part Of the Republic, whether
she should submit to the actual Government or
not. AS to the position which Yucatan should pre-
serve during the war, that would depend entirely
Upon the result Of the pending negotiations with
the Mexican government At all events it was
the duty of the Supreme Congress which had
just met, to decide what should be considered the
most proper and convenient TO the interest of the
Peninsula.
The commander of the U. s. brig OF war,
seemed perfectly satisfied with the answer, from
Senior Bardachano, and after paying his compli
ments to him departed next morning.

From the Army.

The steamship James l.. Day, Capt. Griffin,
arrived at New Orleans on the 18th instant, from
Brazos Santiago, which place she left on the 18th
instant.
The news is four days later and of considerable
interest, and especially the announcement that
deputaton from the British navy arrived at Fort
Polk upon business with Gen. Taylor, alcuated
to excite curiosity and speculation. The troops
were being sent forward as fast as the means OF
transportation and the high water would allow.
The Andrew Jackson regiment left for Rey-
nosa on the 9th instant and Col Davis moved up
the river on the 10th instant.
An article in the american Flag, of the 10th
instant, informs us that bros occasionally break
out between the volunteers and Mexicans, result
ing in death. That paper states that Gen. Tay-
lor uses every exertion to prevent persons at
tached to the army from disturbing the citizens
of Matamoras.
The Mexican authorities are urged to use more
attention in keeping their citizens in order, and
dispensing them when engaged in riotous pro-
ceedings

MONEY MARKET.
Sunday. July 46-6 p. M.

There has BEEN within the past week an upw ard move.
ment In the stock market and fancy railroad
stocks have advanced several per cent. We at.
tribute this fact to the general improvement in the
times, and to the almost universal belief that
about entering upon unprecedented period of pros
perity 1t may be that this advance In quotations for
fancy stocks is rather premature, and that slight
action may take place but believe the movement Is
upward and as the advances and operators make
their appearance in the market the advance will be
rapid and more general
Prices for many stocks in the market have been for
the past very much depressed by the difficulties in
the money market in cur foreign relations in domes-
tic political affairs, by the protracted session of Con-
gress and by the commencement of the with
Mexico they have been deprecated far below their
actual value by these influences and it natural
sequence, that the removal of all or part of these things
should relieve the market at and have very bene
fetal effect upon these stocks The advance alluded to
but the commencement of the beginning, it is
that the principal railroad stocks destined
to reach higher point regards prices than has
realized for many months We do think that point
will be reached through the force and influence of
lative movements entirely, but in measure in conse
quence OF the actual increase the real value of the
stocks.
There are several fancy stocks in this market which
never had and 1t is reasonable to suppose never will
have any real value Any improvement in prices for
them cannot be but temporary and we would advise any
outside operator who may be at present holder, or
who may be induced to become hereafter holder to
realize the smallest profits, for know not what day
or an hour may bring forth know not what moment
they may sink out of sight, leaving even wreck
behind. Stocks possessing real value may almost
touch bottom but they to rise again. and holders
have only to wait patiently to realise profit
We annex table exhibiting the quotations for the
principal speculative stocks in this market for each day
of the present week and at the close of the week
vious Quotations for the State stocks have during the
weer been uniform but the advance in of the
cies has been two and three per cent The creates
advance has been in Harlem Rail Road.

The Southern mail arrived at Baltimore last
evening, with New Orleans papers to the 10Th
inst, which contain late and highly important
advices from Mexico, Yucatan and the seat of
war.
We received by the Magnetic Telegraph the
following information
From Mexico.
Ha vana papers were received at New Or
leans on the 18th instant, by the Schooner Hope,
Capt. Howes, which contain later news from
Mexico having been received there by the Brit
ish mail steamer Clyde, from Vera Cruz, which
place she left on the 9th inst
The Spanish schooner Flordelanes arrived tive
days previously from Sacrificios, with Vera Cruz
papers to the 18th June.
Passengers by the Clyde state that it was the
intention Of the U. S. squadron to attack San Juan
de Ulloa on the 10th inst.
Generals Arista and Ampudia had been called
TO the capital. The former is to be tried for
abandoning the city of Matamoras, while he had
upwards of 1000 troops under his command In
consequence of this, he had been discharged
from his office as commander.n- chief of the
army.
He publishes a long address to his fellow SOL
diers, expressing his regret at his misfortunes,
and assuring them that his prayers will be offered
up TO the God of battles for their victory and sue
cess, in every engagement which they may have
with the common enemy.
Tie Spanish merchant brig Cerolia, rom Cadiz,
anchored off the Isla de Verd the 10Th ult, and
attempted to pass into Vera Cruz. The Prince

that she was not to be permitted to pass in. She

Letters had been received at Vera Cruz, stating
that the CALIFORNIA; had pronounced against the
Mexican government.
Government were informed by letters and pas
sengers that Gen. Santa Anna and Almonte had
not departed from Havana.
SANTA ANNA.-The advices brought by the
Hope, Howes from Mexico and Havana, lead us to
infer that Santa Annals schemes are, for the time
being, entirely baffled. We learn verbally that
he had disposed of his game cocks, sold his furni
ture, and given up his house, preparatory to his
return to Mexico but the news received from
Vera Cruz by the Clyde had changed his purpose,
and that he will remain liz Havana till something
more favorable turns up.
