Revolution IN M ontevideo.

by the arrival of the ship Rebecca at New
Orleans from Rio Janerio we have additional
intelligence from Montevdeo respecting the
late revolution there. The Journal de Com.
mercio gives the following account of it;
Immediately previous to the goth of August
great excitement had prevailed in the city; but,
as this cooled down between that period and
the 18th, it was hoped that the government of
General Flores would enter on legitimate
course of conduct and so avoid the manifestly-
imminent rising. This hope proved deceptive.
On the 18th General Flores attempted to arrest
the deputy, Don Jose Maria Munoz. The
latter resisted the attempt as illegal, and was
supported by the people in his course, and the
result was revolution. The small forces quar-
tered in the capital joined the pronou4cing
party, and General Flores was compelled to
leave the capital. The Vice President of the
Republic was expected to take possesson Of
the Administration; but, as he did not appear
resolved on doing SO, the people nominated a
Provisional Governor. Their choice fell on
Senior Don Luis Lamas, who nominated as his
Ministers Seniors Herrera Obes Battle, and
Antuna. The first two belonged 10 the old
colored party, and the last to the old white
party.
y ne Two supports OF authority In tne oIate
(says the Journal de Commercio) were legality
and intervention. Gen. Flores violated the
Constitution by issuing decree on the 10th
of august abolishing the liberty of the press,
in which act every body saw the commence
ment of a dictatorship. By the impetuosity Of
his character Gen. Flores fell out with the
Minister from Brazil, who dsapproved Of that
decree and solicited It's recall After he had
fled from the city he succeeded in raising a few
partisans on the pretext of opposing the
ambitious designs of Brazil. 1t appears that
at one time he had gained the support of eight
hundred men; but at the latest dates the
illusion OF their being led in opposition to Bra
lillian conquest disappearing, they are said to
have nearly all abandoned him..
The Provisional Government, not having
raised any forces in the field to oppose any
movement of Gen. Flores, was engaged in
putting the capital in state of defence. 1t
appeared, however, that there were some
hopes of reconciliation. The commercial
community, national and foreign, had nom
mated commission to negotiate a pacific
arrangement with Gen. Flores, and the first pro-
position Of the General was the remuneration
Of the Presidency, If the administration should
be allowed to be assumed by the Vice Pre-
sident.

SENATOR MASON.

A writer in the Richmond Enquirer who
warmly and forcibly advocates the reelection
OF Senator Mason, renders the following hand
some and just tribute to that distinguished gen
tleman:
"James M. Mason has been tried upon a
theatre where no servant can deceive his
employers, or any body else. The eyes of the
Union have been fixed upon him. He has had
not only the ordinary routine Of senatorial
duties to perform, but, chosen by the spontane.
Gus judgment Of the Senate as Chairman OF the
Committee Of Foreign Relations, he has been
placed where the public functionaries of every
country have beheld his honest and enlightened
labors in the common cause.
mo one who has a proper selfrespect will
venture TO assert that Colonel Mason has failed
to do exact and scrupulous justice to his State,
and to her counsels and principles; or that any
man in the service of Virginia has been guided
by sounder views, by truer zeal, OF higher
intellect in the discharge of his allotted duties
than Colonel Mason has displayed i have
lived long, and seen much in public life, but
never saw the time when Virginia should
embrace her Senators with more affectionate
regard than becomes her now

Senate, but recall the image Of bis noble
ancestor-George Mason Whose presence.
dignity and commanding talents made him

object is truth and the public good lie never
resorts to ford eloquence or vulgar rant but
is always forcible without coarseness, senatorial
without haughhness, and convincing from The

with which be imparts it to all around him"

In spite of the large sums collected, the
Hanovarian Government does nothing for
the improvement of the Elbe, leaving this
to be done by the Hamburgers, who, al
though they are exempted from the toll, would
gladly see it abolished but, as long as the
large States are willing to put up with the ex-
action, they cannot expect to see removed
what they justly deem a great sbackle on their
trade; and as long, as from the peculiar local
laws Of most Of the German States our citizens
are almost precluded from the American trade
in Germany, and the business is done by Ger
man houses-as long as this will be the case,
fear the Brunshausen "toll'' will not receive
that attention it so richly deserves.
Hoping you will excuse this intrusion on
your valuable time, remain, gentlemen, very
respectfully, your obedent servant

TuEIATE ELECTIONS

We present below such election news as we
can gather from accessible sources Whilst
precise results do not yet appear, enough is
known to show that in Massachusetts the
Know nothings have again succeeded, not by
a majority, but plurality. 1t also seems to
be conceded that the same party has carried
the State Of New York BY like vote, and that
Maryland, disappointing the calculations Of
some, has also established within her borders
the supremacy Of the new party.
On the other hand, the Democracy, it is be-
lieyed, have carried Wisconsin and New Jer.
sey. From Louisiana and Mississippi nothing
definite has been heard.
That Massachusetts, should have gone again
for the Know-nothings is not at all surprising,
when we remember that the last Legislature
was, with the exception of most woful few,
altogether of that persuasion. Yet it appears
that the debaucheres and corruptions of that
body tended materially to reduce the dimen.
sions and cripple the power of that party. 1t
succeeded only by plurality vote, and even
then lost many Of its candidates. The oppo-
sition Of four or five in the last Legislature has
increased to some ninety odd in the present
Legislature. Whether the Know.nothinps of
Massachusetts, are more conservative on the
slavery question than the Black Republican
party, we will not stop to argue. Our own i'm
preston is, that there is no more difference
between them on that subject than there is be.
tween tweedle dun and tweedle.dee. Notwth-
standing the re. election Of Governor Gardner,
we do not think that the most blinded and
bigotted Southern Know-nothing can claim the
success Of that order in Massachusetts as a
conservative victory.
As to New York, the same party succeeded
in the same manner, not by majority but a
plurality vote Whilst we have said over and
over again, and repeat now, that we have no
faith in the soundness and conservatism of any
Northern party, of any name or complexion,
save the Democratic party, yet between. the
Black Republicans and the Know nothings of

TO FISANcIAL ExpouNpERs.

If some one of the financial writer's of our
commercial cities would resolve the doubts
and difficulties stated in this article, they would
not only render o favor to many in this region,
but would also, we doubt not, by giving the
desired information, afford very acceptable
service to the community in whose midst they
are.
1t would appear, from the several statements
published from time to time, that the expendi-
lures of the governments of England and
France, orer and ADORE ordinary expenses,
have been, since the beginning of the war,
more than five hundred millions of dollars
We can trace specie exports TO the extent of
not one hundred millions, by supposing that
the entire diminution in the vaults Of the
banks of England and France, together with
all the receipts of specie from the United States
and Australia, have gone abroad.
That would leave the amount of four hun
dred millions excess still-this sum was paid
out in money or its representative. The ques-
ton is, Where is it? By what means has this
StCot cASCos Vi SOilc iOui huiiNiCu iiiiiiohoI
which had been added to the cnNency, been
absorbed so that the rate of interest can be
raised to six and to seven per cent?
As most branches Of trade had been circuni.
scribed, except those connected with the prose
cution of the war, the quere arises, Can they so
completely have absorbed it. as to have left
none of it for general use?
1t would appear incredible, that four hun
dred millions Of dollars could be poured into
London and Paris, at time when business
was SO dull that interest was dull at three per
cent, and yet in the face of that low rate, and
with this enormous addition to the country, in
terest rises TO seven per cent.
Whence the great demand that has enabled
the banks so to raise the interest? In all the
discussions which have taken place, we have
seen none upon this point, which, to Us, ap.
pears to be the pivot on which the whole mat.
ter turns; or rather, perhaps, the explanation
would be the key to unlock this now universal
mystery.
Will some OF our Wallstreet or State street
friends emil ghten us on these points?

Il Suicide Of Young Woman.

! - H @..
Last Monday morning, at an early hour,
the body of a female was discovered floating in
the race at the Gallego mills. After it had
been taken out the coroner was sent for to hold
an inquest. The deceased was woman
apparently about twenty-seven years old, and
was neatly dressed. Papers were found upon
her which showed that she was an unmarried
German woman, named Josephine Weiss. A
letter written in the German language, and
signed by man named Tn. Baer, of Charlotts-
vile, was among the papers also document
purporting to be viii, bequeathing some $500
worth of property to sundry persons. The
letter alluded to an en- gagement between them,
and pleading the limited circumstances of the
writer as an excuse for termination of all
intercourse between them.
There was no evidence to show that the
woman had contemplated suicide, but it APP
peared probable, from the circumstances, that
disappointment in an affair of love had so
preyed upon her mind as to drive her to the
rash act. She has two brothers residing in

OF the United States in long argumentative

Washington should not have allowed negotia-
tons of some sort to preclude the decisive step
it has taken in this matter, and that in so do.
ing it will cause difficulties which might have
otherwise been avoided. The short notice al.
lowed TO Denmark does not admit of her de-
voting the necessary time to this important
question, more particularly as at this moment
Denmark is in difficult position, arising from
her neighbors striving to involve her in a war
with Russia. To acquiesce in the American
demands would bring with it the sacrifice of
thousands Of pounds sterling for the benefit
of other States, who, properly speaking, bear
the whole burden of these dues, while America
seldom contributes more than 5000 year to
them. Denmark is just at this moment least

which the Americans display when they have
