HAVANA, Aug. 1.-THE regular British mail
steamer Tyne has arrived here from Vera Cruz.
She brings telegraphic news from Mexico city
to Friday, July 81. .......
In the state of Vera Cruz Honorato Domiu.
guez had issued pronuncidn,ento and taken
possession of some villages along the line Of
the Vera Cruz and Mexico City Railway. Gov
ernment had prohibited the publication Gof
news relating to this pronunclanento in the
State of Vera Cruz against Governor Hernandez
Hernandez. The insurgents had shown them
selves at Huatusco, orizaba, Cordova, Paso del
Macho and Paso de Ovejas. The rebels were
levying a duty of one dollar package on all
freight by the railway. This exaction was en-.
forced for thirty miles along the line. The in
bitants were becoming alarmed and withdrew
on the appearance of the insurgents. Active
hostiliues we're also soon expected to begin in
the sierra of the State of Puebla and vicinity.
General Escobedo was about to start for the
Rio Grande, after having reduced the partisaRs
of Santa Anna in the Sierra Gorda, State OF
Oueretaro, to submission. President Juarez had
released General Jesus Gonzales Ortega and his
companion, Colonel Patoni, from their prison
al Monterey. ..
Intelligence from Guadalaiara to July 80, re-
ceived by the new telegraph, confirms the report
that the blockade of Mazatlan by the British
mar. of. war Chanticleer had been raised.
General Por6rio Diaz had gone to Guatemala,
1t is supposed, TO arrange the troubles pending
between Mexico aud that republic. ... ...
The uon.,to was very severe at Vera Cruz. The
Colombian Munster had in consequence refused
to enter the harbor OF Vera Cruz

PARAGUAY.
A Mediation IN sne War Ad dvocntsd.

The Panama Mercantile Ohronicle, July "a,
says:-The aus-Audne press strongly advo-
Gates mediation in the ParaguAYan war, urging
that the foreign commerce loudly demands 1T.
The progress OF the river Plate has been greatly
retarded by the long continuance OF the war,
every artery OF trade having been clogged. A
speedy termlnat on is therefore demanded for
the we'll beng of the country. The Buenos
Ayres Standard makes the following comment
uTon the subieCt:-"The fall in dry goods, tn =
pllng up OF merchandise in Custom House de-
posts, the conversion of barracks, private
houses, and public markets into bonded
warehouses, have their origin in this inter
mnable war. 1t is right, therefore, that
the real bona fide foreign trade of this coun-
try has suffered and is suffering from tue
continuance OF this war; it, however, we clint
nate the dollars from the question, and simply
for the cause OF humanity appeal for mediation,
we iee that ,he new party in England will not
turn deaf ear. For the last quarter OF ecu
tury tnglishmen have been at the head of every
thing in Paraguay; in the DAYS OF her prosperity
Paraguay sent her sons to England TO learn in
her workshops, to be educated in her colleges,
to study in her universities. We mention these
few facts to show that after all, the PARAGUAY ian
nation have some claims on the English people,
and now in her hour of deep Distress when the
despollsm and amoIlon OF her ruler is the sole
pIeiext for con tinuing this war, when the women
OF the country are being recruited as soldiers to
I'LL the ranks, when the whole country is eY.
hausted, and the very race on the eve of ami.
hilanon, we tnlnk that the liberal party OF Eng
land will strike from the selfish policy pursued
by The Wings and Tories, aud stretch out a
friendly hand TO rescue an expiring nation,

TEXAS.
The Proposed Division of the State nAd
hSaulaH.

! 1Is Results. ...
The Texas correspondent of the Detroit Post
writes as follows, under date of July 25;-
''The Texas Constitutional Convention has
now been in session nearly two months, and like
the agreeable minister, who neither preached
politics nor religion, this Convention, elected
iOr the sole purpose of forming a constitution
for the people of Texas, has not until the
present week troubled itselfabout constitutional
matters. .. .... ...
"Since the disposal of the vexed ab tniio
question the Convention has been chiefly
State. Immediately upon the receipt of the
news of the introduction of Mr.. Beaman's bill
In the House OF Representatives. for the division
OF Texas into three States, the Convention
commenced the discussion OF this question.
"The bill divides Texas into the most awk ward
shaped States, and without doubt two OF the
three would be Democratic. This was readily
perceived by Governor Hamilton, who intro
duced a substitute for the purpose of killing the
whole affair. There Is a great jealousy existing
between East and West Texas, and were it not
for this and theloffices a division would create,
the proposition would be favored by scarcely
single delegate. 1t is fortunate Tor the State
that the Convention has some of the talented
men of the country in it, like Governor Hamil-
ton, who are able to control matters. The people
of the United States have realized that the
South welded too much power in our national
councils before the war to now increase its
powers, until we have sufficient guarantee for
its future good behavior Fortunately a reso-
luton was offered and carried by the convention
postponing further discussion on the matter
until action is taken by Congress. 1t is hoped
and believed that Congress viii take no action
that would increase the strength OF the South
ern States in the legislative branch OF our Gov
eminent, and particularly when that strength
would be Democrauc.n

The Siege of -Bamish-
ment OF Hayttsns.
By Cuba Cuble.

HAVANA, Aug. 7.-Presdent salnaye still
holds out in Hayti. He is reported to be gain
ing ground in the interior. TIE Picos hold
Goave, Legoane, and Jacmel. The lighthouse
at the latter port has been fortified as the place
Is now beseged. The Picos we're committing
all sorts of atrocities. Eleven prominent citi
zeDs of Hayti, who had taken refuge In the
American and British Consuates, were sent into
Punishment at Jamaica. At the instance
President BaeZ, OF st. Domingo, President Sal.
nave had declared Jacmel in a state of block
ade, as well as Miragoaue and st. Marc. Gene
raj Hector has found 1t impossible to return
to Portau. Prince. Toe Cacos had captu- ed a
gunboat which they had lost in Decem ber last
The Rebels were but mile fro n Port-au. Prince.
They had repulsed Salnave's troops in an attack
made against their position. They lost, how
ever, ninety prisoners, who we're taken to the
capital. The losses on both sides in the engage
ments near Goave we're very severe. The British
gunboat Mullet had gone to Kingston, Jam aica,
and the Phoebe was expected. The American
man-ot-war Penobscot was at Sofa Gallon.

HAVANA Aug. 7.-At seybo, the Cabralist, :,
under one OF the 0gandos, defeated the Baecst
forces commanded by General Brgmann, q
German. The latter was killed in the action.
The whole southern portion OF st. Domingo has
now risen in favor of General Cabral The
latter, together with his lieutenants, Luperon
and Valverde, were still at Jacmel, according
to latest accounts, although some versions left
him in st. Domingo. President Baez continued
to issue orders of punishment against his oppo-
nents. Gold was not to be obtained anywhere

ECUADOR.
Am Important Diplomatic Mission.

legation Of great importance Tor the COM
merce of the world is TO be sent to Chill, Boil
VIA, and Peru, with Don Antonio Flores as
Extraordinary Envoy and Minister Plenipoten-
tiary, and the Under Secretary of State as his
first Secretary. Although the greatest secresy
has been maintained about the object OF this
mission, the general belief Is that it means
something like establishment of the CONNER
cial relations of these countries with Spain.
What appears undoubted is thatthe most intense
excitement is attached to the mission, and that
it has been appointed in consequence of the
Peruvian and the Spanish Ministers in London,
as we'll as on account of the consultation made
to Ecuador by the Allies about the offered
mediation of the United States for the settle
ment OF the Spanish question.

of the emission OF promssory notes OF the ma
tional credit tor the sum OF $l96 900, made by
General Francisco Dez Canseco, when he held
the post of Military and Political Chef of the
Central Departments; the approval of the eX-
penses, as well rs the inversion of said sum,
along with $500 more, which, in bends of ma
tiohal c1edlt, we're sent to him to Arequipa, has
been the object of general criticism. -
report OF the Minister on the state OF the

been published 1t appears from it that at the
time of the establishment of the present Gov.
ernment there we're in the Golfers of the nation

cieut state of the treasury, aud the pressing
exigences of the service, Government had re-
course to a loan of 10, 100000 soes. which the
consignees Of guano gave them last February.
From the statistics lately published, it results
that in the late elections Colonel Balta has had
1926 votes for the Presidency, Colonel Harencia
Zeyallos 2949 for the First Vice. Presidency, and
General Francisco DeZ Canseco 2l76 for the
Second Vice-PIesdency.

Friday, August a. 1863

Fraay, August 2. 1868. !
Money is as abundant as ever, and there is no
difficulty in placing 'call oansr at 4Go6 per
cent The present pie hOra is only paralleled
by the glut of capital in the leading countries of
Europe. The causes operating upon supply and
demand in the Money Market are identical at
home and abroad. Business men prefer to do
nothing, rather than run the risk of doing
wrong, and hence they a'lo their money to re.
main idle 10 the Banks and elsewhere. This is
rather healthy sign than other wise when we
refer back TO It's cause; but as action follows in-
action, so speculation will follow torpor sooner
or later, aud history will repeat itself both in
Europe and the United States.
At the Stock Board to-day the aggregate trans
actions ware small, and or the speculative shares
the tendency was decidedly down ward Gov
