The Kaimakau and the other ., accused have been sent to Constantinople , where their fate will bo decided upon . Advices from Constantinople , to the 2 Gth ult ., state that the report lately current respecting the dismissal of the minister of finance was premature , and it is asserted that the publication of the decree dismissing him was prevented by Riza Pasha . Three hundred merchants have signed a petition against stock-jobbingwhich

peti-, tion will be upheld by the ambassadors of foreign powers . Hostilities have broken out between the Montenegrins and the Turks . -By a telegram from Bucharest , of the 5 th , we are informed that Prince Alexander Couza , the neiA-ly elected hospodar of Moldavia , has been elected hospodar of AVallaehia also . Iu the American senate a resolution has been introduced for the transport of the mails betAveen NOAV York and Liverpool , and Neiv York , Bremen , and Havre , vid Southampton . Tho president had sent in a message in reply to the resolution calling for copies of

any correspondence in relation to tho purchase of Cuba , ivhich has not been made public . He says that no such correspondence has taken place which has not already been communicated to congress . The message was referred to the committee on foreign relations . A general impression prevailed that congress would place $ 30 , 000 at the disposal of the president for diplomatic purposes connected with the acquisition of Cuba . Also that an appropriation would be made for a largo increase in the United States navy ; and that these iivo measures would necessarily

involve a loan . On tho 21 st ult ., Afr . FaniAvorth , of Illinois , failed to obtain leave to introduce a resolution contemplating tbe annexation of the British American provinces , and instructing the committee on foreign affairs to inquire into the expediency of initiating measures to secure them by honourable treaty . In Washington a collision had occurred in the street between the Hon . G . Taylor , of the house of representatives , and Mr . C . C .

On the 15 th a mob of many hundreds assembled to prevent the landing of a portion of these houses , but General Castilla having arrived with troops from Lima , order Avas restored . Business ivas entirely suspended in consequence of the riots . The

Callao Shipping List has gone dead , and the editor has gone on a fishing tour , that being probably the most profitable . The latest private advices from Hayti , mention that the Emperor , Soulouquo , after having advanced with bis army within tAvo leagues of St . Marc , had been twice beaten by the republican army under General Geftrard , and forced to retreat into Port-au-Prince , which he entered on the 10 th ult . His proclamation confirms this intelligence , and , wc think , speaks the language of despair . From Jaemel tho intelligence is , that at the last moment

the news had reached there that Solouque was on the point of abdication , which ho was willing to do by convention ; but it ivas thought that , the republican forces having the entire ascendancy , he ivould be dethroned unconditionally , with , maybe , his life as the forfeiture . The receipt of papers and letters from India by the overland mail , gives us details of three defeats of the rebels under Tantia Topee , Feroze Shah effected a junction with Maun Singh at Syepore . Lord Clyde had advanced on Baraitch , ancl , having driven in tho advanced guavd of tho rebels ,

entered it on the 20 th December .
