RICAN NEWS.  The aecousits feoro New York this week contain nothing of nian-rial im portance. The recent rise in toe rate of exchange had not been fully maintained, and the shipment of specie, which had seemed about to recommence, had consequently again been checked. Money was more abundant than evert and 4 per cent. was now the highest rate to be obtoned for loans at call. The stock market, never" thcless, was on the average a shade lower, being partly influenced by the flood of railway bonds which still continued to be poured upon it. The better descriptions of these bonds were reaidY taken, but the necessity for caution, with regard to the majority, was daily becoming more evident. 11 sorts of petty towns and counties were pledging their faith for the payment of the interest, and already the constitutionality of some of their proceedings had become a matter of dispute and litigation. The increasing demand for channels of investment was likely, however, to overcome all other noo* siderations, and the mere sound of a "guarantee," no matter bow worthless, serves in the United States, as on this side, to entrap many who would hesitate, to enter into the most legitimate enterprises that had nothing but their intrinsic goodness to reconr mend them. During the week there had been two failures of mercantile firms, the parties being Duoscomb, Cook, and Co., of New York, and Johnson and Travers, of Baltimore, both in the South American and West India trade. There was nothing later from California, but an arrival would be expected shortly, and if it should bring a further: large supply of gold the stimulus to the money market would be very great. Meanwhile, the traffic to San Francisco was undiminished, and the Norther Light had lately sailed for Nicaragua with 900 Pali:. sengers. From Mexico the advices were to the 1801April. They confirmed the rejection of the Te.' huantepec treaty, and stated that on the day M fallowing the vote on that question M. Larrainsart she new Minister fromexico 'to the United, States, had left the capital, in order to enter' upon his duties at Washington. In the 11Insinail Congress nothing like real business of anY I:hew-seemed practicable. It was thought, however, the basis of some reform in the tariff might fol'e—e:" be arranged, although the removal of the Pre'l: bitory duties would be refused. The Senate, in appears, are favourable to a general reduction of ln per cent. The foreign representatives in plexlc° were still in communication with Senor Ramirez, the Minister of Relations, on the subject of their protest against the exceptional lowering of the tariff at the port of Matamoras, to the injury of the importing merchants at Tampico and Vera Cruz. They had notified to the Minister their intention to persist in demanding an equalization, and that they would not put up with delay. If their representations were longer neglected serious difficulties might therefore arise, while, on the other hand, the the position of the Government was a perplexing one, since, if the duties were raised to their former here at Matamoros, the revolutionary attempts on "3; frontier would forthwith be recommended as a nor!. fur smuggling, while on the other hand a general ree. duction would at once create alarm for the revel 3u With regard to the existing state of the frontier, the bo accounts were far from satisfactory. Carvajainwne was lately arrested by the United States' autho.ritiele; and put through the ceremony of giving balinsvets now reported to be again reorganizing his proje he of invasion. According to some accounts bad none up the hio Grande with the remains of or 07 Fa! forces to form a junction with " Colonel from the interior of Texas," and 300 German ; Meanwhile he is said to have sold his lands in, the , neighbourhood of the frontier to " Ainer.'elo an ie Company" for 200,000 dolls. Numerous other Ind e cations also show that operations will long cont to be carried on similar to those which preceded the annexation of Texas. The lawless Mexicans retaliate by crossing the border and committing robberies and murders, professing to act under orders fill their own authorities; and the Americans, on other hand, resort to Lynch law, and hang the offal; d , ers, or suspected offenders, whenever they can to. caught. The object on both sides is to exaggelet every individual case of violence into something shall provoke a determined war, and in this tbeY, of course aided by both the Texan and MeV' newspapers.
