The steamer franklin arrived at New
York .he 29th ult !. with news from
Liverpool up TO the 18th, being four
days later.
There was al sill further reduction in
the rates OF flour for the week, ranging
from three to four shillings, and de-
cline on wheat OF six pence.
There had been no change in the
Eastern question, but every moveme Mt
confirms the certainty Of the rapidly APP
preaching conflict. 1t was rumored
that the Gear had ordered his troops to
cross the Danube forthwith; the lst d.
vision OF the British fleet sailed on Sat-
urday, and Prussia ha | sent coniden.
tial minister to Napoleon. h5
great earthquake had occurred at
Calabria, which caused the loss of 1000
persons.
The steamer Canada, with Liverpool
dates to the 18Th. arrived at New York
on the goth ult. This is three days late
than the Frsnklin's news, published by
US on yesterday morning. The news,
as thus far received. is not very impor-
tant. Much anxiety was felt for the
steamer Baltic, which was overdue at
Liverpool. There is considerable news
from The seat Of war, but the aspect OF
affairs is not materially changed.
LATEST. 4
= The steamer Baltic arrived at New
York on Tuesday at 4a O'clock, P. M.
Her dates are up to the 23d ut. She
brings the very unwelcome intelligence
of further decline Of Cd on wheat, and
from three TO four shillings on Indian
corn.
No engagement is reported by land
or sea on the Danube. Positions UNI
changed. Rumor Of the capture Of the
Russian Treasure convoy at Caras had
reached Cons,antinople. The Greek
Instruction is settled. The final re-.
tusal of the Car wss hourly expected.
II was already known that he refused,
and when official refusal arrived, it
wo' Id be communicated 10 both Hous-
es, and war be formally declared.
From MFxico.-Dates from the city
Of Mexico to the 18th ult.. inform us
that Santa Anna left the capital four
days previous, with the intention Of ia
king the field in person against Gen.
Alvarez, the leader of the Acapulco rev.
olu,ionists 1t is asserted by the Next
can journals that Gen. Alvarez was sur
rounded by the government troo,,s, des-
titure Of money and almost dcseted by
his friends-but this statement ne eds
confirmation.
LATER.-The revolution against San.
ia Anna, headed by Gen. Alvarez seems
10 be far more formidable than the Mex.
icaa version ofthc affair would lead us
TO suppose. and in the opinion Of those
best informed on the subject, is likely
20 prove successful.
simultaneously with the movements
Of the disafrected people of Mexico for
the overthrow Of his Supreme Hig hness.
Santa Anna, and a return to republic.
anism, we find the Indians rising against
the whites in all directions. both in
tina. country and our own. The intel.
ligence with regard to the depredations
and murders committed by the savages
in Texas and New Mexico. would al
most lead to the belief that general
league had been entered into among the
red men Of the South and West to
wage q war against the Mexican and
American settlers. Ii also appears that
the most invetetate ceiling of hostility
prevails between the border inhabitants
OF the two countries. particularly in
the vicinity of Ell Paso; conseq lenlly
il our divisions Of the army in that
quarter are not speedily reinforced, the
mot serious results may be santicipa-
ted.
