FINANCIAL AND COMMERCE.

SUNDAY, Nov. 23, 1863.
The foreign trade Of the port Of New York con.
tinues to exhibit the same features. Our aggre-
gate exports of produce, merchandise and specie
are largely in excess Of our total imports. Last
week the total import foots up s. ,25o o3s. against
an aggregate export of Sc 23s $3.50. showing an
cess Of exports of nearly three millions of dollars.
From this must be deducted the amount of Amen-
can stocks sent here for sale, less the amount Of
stocks bought here for export to Europe. During
the past week there is reason to believe that tho
amount Of Illinois Central bought here for European
account will balance the amount Of other securf-
ties sent here from Europe; so that the general
commercial account will not vary much from tho
result, as shown by the official Custom House
figures. The trade balance, as reported in these
tables, from the year to date, does not vary much
from thirty millions of dollars.
The official tables of the foreign trade Of the

WASHINGTON, Oct 2l.-The following is the
latter part of Gen. SCOTS second letter published
to day:
1t establishes. in the FIRST place, the patriotic
ANXIETY OF the General in Chief to prepare for the
coming storm and his earnest aud repeated efforts
TO prevail on the Government to garrison and Sc
cure The Southern forts against every p ssibe at
tack, aud discoses in the second place the causes
OF his failure, which il is now evident resulted
from the indecision of President Buchanan, who
was doubtless misled by the treachery of the Sec
rotary of War, il not in other members of the
Cabinet. in whom the head of the Government,
reposed misplaced confidence
