sources OF supply. The consumption of foreign
grain in Great Britain was so large that it was
impossible to accumulate a stock in Liverpool;
and the great difficulty experienced in getting
shipping must, if not relieved, have very favor

Iather contrary effect here.
Under any circumstances, there Is very little
doubt but that prices of brcadstuffs will be main
tanned at remunerating prices, and that all en-
gagged in the trade will make handsome fortunes.
highly Interesting Intelligence from Cuba
Important Movements Relative to Mexico
whats In tho Windi
1t will be recoected that there was quite a
number OF rumors circulating throughout the DO
litcal circles of Europe and America, relative to
the demolition of what is called the Mexican re.
public, and the erection of monarchy on it,
ruins, the king to be Spanish or French prince
1t was then stated that Paredes was in favor of
monarchy. and Santa Anna opposed to one and it
was as much on this account as any other that
Paredes became apparently unpopular. After
this Paredes, the head of the monarohist party,
was banished, and Santa Anna returned to
power.
From information that we have recently OBJ
tanned from Havana, and from the fact that the
military force stationed at that place is unusually
large-so large to attract the notice of the Ha-
baneros-and that there was large number of
French naval vessels there, we are inclined to
place some reliance on the rumor, that France.
England and Spain, have really some design on
Mexico, and contemplate establishing a menar.
chy there.
We publ III the following letter received from
our special correspondent in Havana, which
throws additional light on the subject.

This information 10 of an astounding character
and deserves the most serious consideration and
reflection OF the American people. By itself, and
unsupported by facts, it would be OF little
moment, and probably would not deserve or re-
ceive any attention but the fact of the great
Spanish force stationed there, and the number
Of French naval vessels lying in the harbor,
together with the recent movements of Senior
Atocha, of which we have likewise received some
authentic information, induce us to place reliance
on it, and we think entitle it to belief
OF Senior Atocha, we learn that he left Wash
ington in great haste, possessed of important
secret intelligence, which he was directed to i'm
part to the Mexican Congress Immediately on his
arrival there, and after doing 20 that he was to
return Immediately to Washington, and arrive
there II possible, before the adjournment of Con-
gress. We are not fully acquainted VITA the tenor
OF the dispatches that Senior Atocha was entrusted
With Tor delivery to the Mexican Congress, but we
would not be at all surprised if they related, in
part, to these occurrences at Havana, and to the
iacts which our correspondent mentions in the
letter above published.
Ii this supposition be true then our affairs in
that regoni are beginning to assume a more in.
