From the Camp.

Letters were received by the Departments OF the
War and Navy, by last evenings mail, from vefa
Cruz, in the Massachusetts steamer, arrived at New
Orleans. Gen. SCOTS last letter bears date on the
18th Of April. II states the arrangements he was
making for an advance towards the capital II con-
iains no intelligence that is as late or more inter-
esing than what was received at New Orleans BY
the Picayune aud the Delta. The General states
that Gen. Twiggs had passed the National Bridge
aud was on the road TO Jalapa. The first report
was that Santa Anna had only 1000 roops-then
the accounts increased them TO 6000--snd finally
Gen. Twiggs' despatch augmented them to about
$4,000, entrenched at the pass Of Cerro Gordo
Another letter, written on the 18th, has been re-
ceiyed at the War Office, stating that Gen. Scott
had len Vera Cruz on The 18th, and Gen. Worth
on The 18th. They refer to the same rnmors that
were published last night in the Union" with tins
variation, that only two members OF the Mexican

The steamship Cambria arrived at Boston
abou, four o'clock, yesterday afternoon. This
fact was Immediately announced over the Tel
egraphic wires. Our agents then commenced
TO send ON the news to US, when m intcrrup.
.,ion occurred between Ne Haven and Bos'
aon. Owing to this we did not succeed in OBJ
tanning il till it was too late in the evening to
issue an Extra Herald.
The Cambria sailed from Liverpool on the
4,h INST, and her news is, therefore fifteen
days later than that received by the Sarah
Sands.
It is stated that loan Of four millionseser-
ling has been negotiated for the United States
by we'll known firm.
The doings of the British Parliament were
interesling-,he ,hree principle measures being
the entire remission Of the Corn duty-the
suspension ofthe Navigation laws, and pro-
posed remission ofsrgar duties.
TIE report 'of7the grain market on the Dot,
ut. left the two chief markets in England, LIZ
yerpool and London. with downward ten
dency in prices, and the operations BY con>ign
ees and spectators much limited. Since thai
day. and TO the 4tII inst, the imports had been
very extensive, and all through, large sales had
been made.
The stock of flour in Liverpool alone was
estimated ut 100000 barrels with correspon:
ding stock Of grain.
There was prevailing opinion that the
British corn growers had large stocks, which,
with the temporary suspension Of navigation
laws, and the repeal Of the impost duty. tend
ed 10 check speculation, and would, it was as.
sumed,, produce reaction both in prices and
also in the extent of future operations.
This scIion. was felt in London on Monday,
the lst instant, when wheat declined from four
shings 10 6pe-slilling.per quarter.
AT Liverpool on The following day. prices
were four shillings per quarter lower on indian
corn, four shilIngs on flour, wo,shlllings per
load on wheat, since the publication Of the
weekly circular on the Goth.
The cotton market had been in avery quiet
condion--,he sales had been limited in extent,
and prices are rather on the decline.
On the 3Olh ultimo, 5000 bales. including
2LOO on speculation. were Sold" On the lst
instant, 5000 bales had changed hands. Of
which spectators took 1900.
The business Of the I'd was estimated at 1000
bales, 500 of which were taken on speculation.
IN the Sd inst there was dull, heavy market;

The Postmaster General-Marking on
Papers.--We are told that one of our
merchants, who has long been in the habit
OF sending newspapers to his customers
after having drawn pen: around his ad.
vertisement, continued to do so noiwi,h.
standing the order Of the Postmaster Gen.
eral to lear off wrappers and prosecute
every one who should make any mark ON
a newspaper sent by mall, A few days
ago the merchant received note from The
District attorney, inviting him to CALL
The invitation was complied with, when
The District Attorney produced several of
these newspapers which had been wrong
fully distracted from the mails by order Of
the Postmaster General, and inquired whe.
tier line nerchan,had made them or cans-
ed them to be made. The merchant said
yes, and The Attorney Informed him that
be had been ordered 10 commence pros.
ecution for this violation of Post Office
orders. The merchant addressed the Post
Master General, requesting that functi on
airy to inform him where. the provisions of
law could be found which he was charged
with having violated. The answer was a
discontinuance of the suit. The Postmas-
Ter Generals arbitrary orders were The
sole foundation of the suit. Our impress
sion is, that suit against the Postmaster
General for ordering The envelopes of the
papers TO lie taken off, and the papers
withheld from their proper owners, would
be likely 10 find not only law, but public
opinion to sustain it.-N. Y Jour. Comm.
