LONDON, August 16.-A despatch to the
"Times," !" from Belgrade, says that while
war preparations continue actively, and
while even the peace party oonsider defeat
preferable to the deposition of Primes Milan
and the annexation Of any part Of 6ervia TO
Turkey, or even period of Turkish rule
here, ct the Same time depression Of spir-
it's and Q desire for peace among the mod
crate party and the Servian people generally,
make the Intervention of the Powers to be
anxiously looked for In the hope that It
would bring peace without any Of the above
conditions, which, 1t is feared, the Turks de
sire to impose. Rather than accept any one
of these the Moderate party viii support
the Government to continue the struggle
until aervia conquers or cannot fight longer.
They say the deposition Of Prince Milan
would occasion dynastic civil war, which
would retard the progress of the country
twenty years. As for Turkish rule here,
the foremost men Of Servia, and even the
opponents oft war, say 1t is better that
all the Servians perish in this struggle than
snbmit to that. 1t is evident If the inter-
vention of the Powers does not bring peace
that no arrangement between the belliger-
ents themselves js likely to.

HAVANA, August 18.-The steamer City
Of Mexico arrived from Nexico this morn
ing, and brings the following adylces:
City Of Mexico, August 9Th. The politi-
cal situation remains unchanged, no i'm
portant events have taken pfaca since the
sailing Of the British steamer, on the 2nd
INIT. The Government organs predict .
near termination Of the rebellion. The
revolutionists continue powerless, and are
divided into small fractions, this being their
point of strength thereby hsrassing the
government troops and keeping up the
alarm. Business Is paralyzed throughout
the country.
Exchange ON New York Is 20 per cent,
and on Dondon % per cent. The fall in
silver has given . pretext to the merchants
to add 10 per cent. to their prices. The
government is sorely pressed for means to
meet the war expenses.

the Pacific steamship line and vice Consul
of the United States, at Acapulco, is re-
ported from that place. II

people Of the colony. Henry Clay, sr.,

THE COMMAND TO HALT.

Work. Suspended on tho B0stn - IN,
Funds Nearly EchaMsed-A CO~tt's.
gesscy that may load to Something.
Last evening ended the work upon tht
new basin for the present, at least. The
reason of this is that the appropriation has
nearly exhausted itself. It was generally
understood yesterday that such would
occur, and visit to the proper authorities
confirmed it. There is now left in the fund
81, ,777 .92, against which there are checks
for $61.56. This It after The pay
roll, for the week ending last
evening, has been considered, amounting to
81 ,3OS. The matter was duly deliberated
last evening at meeting of the Water
Committee.
The exact situation was stated by Mr.
Pyle that there was only SO much left, and
as to the advisability of continuing the
work, which could not be done for more
than three days at the furthest, the com.
mite was the most competent to decide.
It was also stated that the supply of clay
on hand would not last more than day, land
if the work was continued it would
only be to q great disadvantage,
with no clay on hand. It was there
fore determined, that in view Of the small
amount in the Treasury Of the appropria-
tion for this purpose, and the disadvantages
under which work would have to be contin.
|ued, to order an estopel of further progress.
AS to the probability of continuing remains
altogether with the legality of certain
contingency which is now being considered.
The city, as it is known, leyies tax of ont
dollar per foot on all water pipe laid for this
new basin. This is an assessment on all
property holders who enjoy the benefit Of
this improvement, and is made lien upon
their property. There has been about eight
thousand feet of piping laid, which will
make the tax amount to eight thousand
dollars. This pipe extends over Third street
bridge. 1t runs along Christiana Avenue
to Heal street, and out Heal as far as C
street, along Church street to Eleventh, and
out Eleventh to Claymont, out Claymont to
Vandever avenue. 1t extends along this
Avenue to Market street, and down Market
to Mill street on the opposite side of Bran
dywine creek.
The bills for the levy have been made out
and delivered, and to continue the work
upon the reservoir 1t would be appropriated
to the reservoir fund, as 1t is properly re-
garded as part return of the money ex.
pended in the work. The matter has been
submitted to Mr.. Walter A. Cummins, City
Solicitor, who has not yet rendered his de.
cision, but expects to do so to-day or to-
morrow. This morning Col. McIntire will
appear at the works and explain to those
who apply for work the cause of the sus-
pension. Many of the Councilmen, know.
ing that the fund will soon be exhausted,
did not report any men from their wards
1t is the opinion of all acquainted with the
work that that which needs to be done first
will be to dig out more clay, large quanti-
ties of which will be needed It can easily
be inferred how little benefit men could de-
rive from continuance of the work, with
so little of the fund remaining and the pay
rolls averaging nearly twelve hundred dol
lars per week.
