November /, 1853.
TT HAS LONG BEEN THE PRACTICE
il of this Office to pay the drafts drawn and nego-
States mails, for the amounts, respectively, of their
quarterly pay. II was established to accommo-
date the contractors and meet their necessities in
advance Of the regular and slower process of pay
ing by the drafts or warrants of the department,
and was intended only TO apply TO one drati per
route from each contractor for the njiole amount
(deducting fines, collections, &c., Of his quarterly
pay; but il has been, and is quite generally so
misunderstood, as TO be supposed to allow any
number of drafts, and for any amount, not exceed
ingin the aggregate the contract pay for the quar-
ter. A privilege conceded for accommodation flor
il was never anything more1 has thus been made
to embarrass materially the business of this office,
forced upon il the settlement of the private ac-
counts Of contractors, and thrown upon the ex-
changes OF the country, with quasi sanction OF
this Office, species of paper currency unauthor-
ICED by the laws.
II not unfrequenty occurs too, that this Office is
exposed TO great and unnecessary risk in deter
mining upon the genuineness of the signatures to
the assignments or endorsements OF the various
persons through whose hands these drafts are
made to pass before their presentation.
Il is therefore deemed proper 10 give this public
notice TO contractors, and all concerned, that from
and after the LIST day of January, 1854, but one
draft for the pay upon each route per quarter will
be paved, or filed for payment, in this Office This
DRAFT should state upon its face, that IS the only
one for the quarter and the roufe tboth 10 be spec
fed) on which il is drawn; and the signature there
to should Be attested BY the postmaster at the place

each assignment thereof should Be attested by fsco

ARRIVAL OF THE BALTIC.
-Four Days Later from Eurone.

New York, Nor. 14.-The steamer Baltic
reached her wharf at quarter TO | o'clock, with
dates from Liverpool to the Sd instant.
With regard TO the eastern question, everything
was enveloped in mystifcalion. A Vienna dis
patch announces that there had been an armstice
agreed upon between the Turks and Russians for
an indefinite period. This dispatch materially ad-
vanced the price of English and French funds.
Another dispatch said that the Turks had crossed
the Danube without opposition.
Markets.
LIyERpooI Nov. 2-Cotton-The general as
pect Of the market for the past three days has
been heavy, with prices iavoring buyers, and a
desire to realise the part of holders, of grades
below midding, which has caused, in some in
Stances, reduction of Lied. 0 3D., to effect
sales; but on general business the quotations OF
last Saturday not altered. Sales Of the three
days, Is, 900 bales, Of which 5000 was on specula
ton and 500 on export.
Bread stufs.-Prces by the America are gen.
orally well supported; without excitement, vary
ing bur little from Fridays quotations. The de-
mand for wheat and -four is mostly for the best
qualities, and the tone Of the market follows
closely the tenor of the advices received from the
east. Wheai-White, los. i'd "a los. Id; red

The Baltic brings one hundred and seventy-four
passengers among whom are Gov. Jones. of Ten

The Eastern Question.
The most contradictory accounts were in circu-
lation regarding the aspect of affairs in the east
II was stated that satisfactory diplomatic note,
from the tour powers, was on its way TO Constan-
tinople, and that the supposed armstice was to
allow time for its acceptance. This further
strengthened the funds, but il began to be rumored
that the so-called armistce was only conditional
order TO Omar Pasha, not to commence hosttes
till November LIST, if he had not already COM
menced. This depressed the market, particularly
as telegraphic dispatch, apparently authentic,
stated that the Turks had crossed the Danube in
great force near Widdn, and occupied Kalotat,
with the intention of assailing the Russians
England.
Great riots had broken out at Wigan, in Lam
cashire caused by turn out of the operatives the
Golfers. Much property had been destroyed, and
the troops called out.
London Markets.
LONDON, Oct 3l.-Great fluctuations have &C.
Cured in the funds, owing to conflicting accounts

October 10:

He was banished by Santa Anna TO Monclova, but
as soon as his escort left him there, he made a
straight line for the Rio Grande crossed near La
redo, and came down to Roma, fifteen miles above
this place. He did not favor Santa Annals views
OF declaring himself perpetual president, and
hence he, with forty-nine other men of standing
and influence were banished-a bad move, which
will hasten his downfall which is certain. Gen.
Robes "a fine fellow goes TO New Orleans, to re-
main until he is recalled by his government. He
had but three hours notice in which to leave the

Mr.. Severance has authority TO negotiate such

TO accomplish that result. DR.. Judd, who retired

their negotiations the subjects Or perhaps, II is
more accurate 10 saw tina, he was in favor Of an
