Oißcini Despatches from Gru. Scott.
Tfie Union of the 22d, has received and
publishes despatches from Gen. Scott, up to
the sth inst. Their contents have been no
ticed by us, by various arrivals at New Or
leans, and as they contain nothing but what
■our readers have been made acquainted with,
we will not republish them. The Union,af
ter noticing their receipt, says—
“ The inhabitants of Vera Cruz, under tiie
'excellent government of Gen. Worth, are
beginning to be assured of protection, and to
recover die cheerfulness of their spirits.
“The general has some idea of selecting
and sending home some of the beautiful bronze
pieces taken with the castle and city,(llß out
of more than 400.) They are field liable to be
restored at the pacification; but they need
not be restored without the untrammelled
consent of the United States. The general,
however, proposes to send only a small num
ber, about a dozen, as trophies. He is about
to send other trophies—flags, colors, and
standards—by Col. Bankhead, selected on
account of eminent services in theseige, and
partly because of his infirm hetnth. The
number of these objects is small, compared
with the strength of the garrisons.”
We see by the New Orleans Mercury of
the 21st inst., that Col. Bankhead, bearer of
despatches from Gen. Scott, and having in
charge the trophies of war taken at Vera
Cruz, arrived at that port on the morning of
the 21st, in the ship Elizabeth Dennison, on
his way to Washington.
The N. Y. Jo urnal of Commerce of the
23J inst., says—“ Three hundred soldiers be

the command of Major McCarty. The 10th

[Extracts of le'ters received in this city ]
LIVERPOOL, April 3, 1847.—At the departure 1
I of the last steamer, there existed great depression
i in mir Cotton market, with a downward tendency
! in prices. This continued till the 19th ult., on
i which day fair Orleans were’qnoted at 64 fair Mo
bile 61, and fair Uplands 6}J. lb being a decline
of » a id. from the quotations of the 3d of March,
and lid lb. from the extreme top price of the year.
Al this point accounts were received that the Bank
of France had negotiated a sale of stock with the
Russian government to the amount of £ 2,000,000,
thereby relieving herself of her difficulties, and the
money market of this country of one source of
unxie y.Money temporarily became easy, its cheer
ing influence wascommunicated to the Cotton mar
ket, an active demand sprung up., and the holders
favored by simultaneous decline in the Corn mar
kets, and more favorable accounts from India, suc
ceeded in obtaining an advance of «d lb. in the
better and Id in the middling and lower de
scriptions. In the last five or six days, however,
t'ae money market has again relapsed into a gloomy
state, perhaps more so than before, perticularly the
last d .y or two, which has checked the operations
in the cotton market, and prices have sunk again
fully |d per lb. The quotations therefore are now
just the same as at the departure of the last steam
er, a month ago, with a languid heavy market-
The sales for the month ended Ist inst., amounted
98,160 bales, of which speculators have taken 23,-
300, and exporters 9770 bales. Yesterday being
Good Friday, was a holiday, and to-day they are
estimated at 3000 bales. The quotations are N.
0.51 aB, fair 6j, Mobile 54 a 74, fair 6J, Uplands
5} a7, fair 64. The import since Ist Jan is 339,- i
000 bales, of which 238,000 are American. The
stock is 489,000 against 788,0t0 last year; that of
.
American is 332,000, against 525,000 bales at same
period.
The corn market has been seriously depressed
by heavy supplies, beyond immediate wants, and
flour sunk from 40s. down to 355. per barrel. The
article has however rallied to some extent, and it
may now be quoted at 3Ss., at w hich latter price
there is a steady demand for good Western. Indian
corn became for a time quite unsaleable, a panic
ensued, and in order to realize, the greatly reduced
price of 44s a 45s per qr. was submitted to to some
extent. This article has also recovered a little
from this extreme depression, and is now selling at
45 a 51s. pr qr at which the market appears steady,
hut even at these rates it is held with less confi
dence than flour or wheat.
HAVRE, March 31.— Cotton. Contrary to all
expectation, and to the depressed character of our
market, in the early part of last week, a revival
has taken place in the transactions, and business j
has worn an animated aspect, which has led to a
considerable improvement in prices. The gradual
decline everywhere in Bread Stuffs and the fur
i tlier downward tendency, coupled with the con
j finned encouraging appearance of the weather,
( has induced speculators to come boldly forward,
the buying lias assumed an animated aspect, and
an advance of fully f. C a 7 has beep realized on
all American Cottons. The satisfactory tenor of
the intelligence from Liverpool has been the main
cause of tfie activity that has been displayed here
in tfie demand, which although it had previously
begun to revive, the opening of this week
suddenly become spirited, and created an amelior
ation which was before qf comparatively trifling
importance. Confidence therefore seems general
ly speaking to be restored, and the amended fea
ture of the accounts from the manufacturing dis
tricts, is perhaps calculated to strengthen that feel
ing; but the demand for consumption is neverthe
less moderate, and if on the one hand the state of
things in the internal districts is less unfavorable
on the other, the state of trade is not sufficiently
encouraging to produce any salutary change in
prices. We have been put in possession of advices
from the United States to the 6th inst., but they
were not of a nature to create any change in our
market. The imports of Cotton during this rn mth
have added to our stock, and notwithstanding the
advance that has just taken place, prices still ex
hibit a depreciation of f. 10as compared with those
; at the end of pL-bruary. Btock, 31st-March, 1347,

HAVRE, March 31. Cotton —The gradual de
i dine everywhere in bread stuffs, and the encour
aging appearance ofthe weather, has induced spe
; culators to come forward, ami an advance of fully
Ga7f realized on all American. The imports this
month have added to our stocks; and notwithstand
ing the advance just taken place, prices still ex
hibit a depreciation of 10, as compared with those
al the nd of February. Sales of the week—

CHARLESTON April Immedi
ately after the receipt ofthe Cambria’s Telegraphic
and condensed accounts on Saturday morning,
quite a lively demand sprang up in the Upland
market, during which holders ut once advanced
former rates. The sales ofthe day reached near
2000 bales at full Jc, and in a few instances per
haps |c above previous prices, extending from
10| a 124 c—the bulk ofthe transactions at trom
ilia Ilf. The disposition of holders to meet
buyers at the abo\ e advance, appeared not
.o be general, some of them preferring to await
more particular advices. We quote fair 12 cents.

a slock of 214.847 bales.
The daily expectation of later European ac
counts, w hich it was supposed would beofan unfa
vorable character, disinclined buyers generally to
operate to any important, extent, and-we left the
j market very dull on Friday, with rather easier
. prices for the lower qualities. On Saturday,also,
great dullness prevailed, and scarcely more than
I 80() hales were disposed of, at prices still rather in
favor of buyers. On Sunday, by a succession of
packet arrivals at the Northern ports, we were put
in possession of further European accounts, the
j latest being to the 21st ultimo, brought to Boston
I by the ship W ashington Irving. The intelligence
| brought our market, which was before inactive, to
| a complete stand. as ttie few buyers disposed to op
| crate claimed a more important reduction than fac
j tors were willing to submit to, and the sales of
I Monday did not amount to 10 1 bales. Yes:er*Jav,
also, the market remained w ithout any movement
i of consequence, only about 80 J hales having been
disposed of, and there seems to be a disposition on
lie part of both buyers and sellers to await the re
ceipt of advices to the llh instant per Cambria,
which are expected ro reach here in some shape
about tSumlayor Monday next. As regards prices
we have to remark that the lew sales made on Sa
turday were at slighti v easier rates than our figures
of the day previous; hut since these last adverse
accounts there has not been enough done to estab
lish ft rmrket. and we therefore omit quotation- for
thep e entuntila more settle 1 btsis is attained,
i though we may rent irk that the few lots sold have
| been at a further decline.; some say of I a i cent
per lb. Factors generally maintain a good degree
ot firmness, knowing as they do that the advices of
I Ist March,carried out by the Cambria, were the
worst for tlieir interest that could go from this side,
{ and that the subsequent accounts are calculated to
operate strongly in tlieir favor. The receipts have
i been more full within the past three days, having
j been swollen by the arrival of sixteen flalbuats
from North Alabama ami Mississippi.

MOBILE April 21.--Cotton. Wc did
I not learn that a singe bale changed hands
after the receipt of the intelligence here on
•Saturday. Monday a few buyers made their
appearance, claiming, however, a material reduc
tion in prices. In the limited transactions ot the
day they gained a concession, in some instances,
of fully Ic.,butthe majority of holders withdrew
their cotton for sale. Yesterday it rained in
1 torrents the entire business part ottheday,and
j the few transactions that occurred were a matter
| of surprise. There was the same discrepancy in
j the views of buyers and sellers al the close as on
I Monday, the former claiming a reduction off a
' |c., and many of tue latter as firmly refusing to
I yield.
In this condition of things we find it difficult
to give quotations. As mentioned above, some
purchases have bacn made within the last two
days, making middling cottons quotable at 10 a
10ic., while others in the same time have trhns
pired at sc. higher. It is hard to predict the fu
ture course of the market. The buying for the
last three da\s has been to complete cargoes for
Liverpool. We append figures in accordance
with the majority ot the sales yesterday and the
day previour.
The sales of the week font up as follows; On
Wednesday 2000 bales. Thursday 500, Friday
700, Saturday 3000. Monday 500, and yesterday
800, making a total of 4800 bales for the week.
