The Royal Mail steamer Europa, Capt. Scott, ar-
rived at Liverpool last evening, at 7 p.m., from New
York, with the usual mails, 57 passengers, and
517,500 dollars in specie on freight. She sailed on
the Ist Jan., a day after her usual date of sailing
owing to the dense fog that prevailed at New York,
and though she has experienced very tempestuous
weather has made, for a winter passage, one of aver-
age speed.
The Royal Mail steamship Canada, Capt. Harrison,
arrived at Halifax on the 26th, and at Boston on the
28th.

The Baltic arrived in New York on the 2lth inst.
By the fire at Washington, announced in a tele-
graphic despatch received by the last mail, the li-
brary of Congress was partially destroyed, the Ca-
pitol having been saved with difficulty from the
flames. About thirty-five thousand volumes of books
were destroyed; this is estimated from the supposed
number saved, which is twenty thousand, the origi-
nal contents of the library being about fifty-tive thou-
sand volumes in all. The contents only of the prin-
cipal hall were consumed, the north room and law
library not having been visited by the tire, owing to
the thickness of the intervening walls. Besides the
books, a number of valuable paintings, hanging
around the library walls and between the alcovea,
were included in the destruction. Of these were
Stuart's paintings of the first five presidents ; an
original portrait of Columbus; a second portrait of
Columbus ; an original portrait of Peyton Randolph;
a portrait of Bolivar; one of Baron lie Kalb; one of
Cortez ; and one of Judge Ilanson,of Maryland, pre-
sented to the library by his family. Between eleven
and twelve hundred bronze medals of the Vatte.
mare exchange, some of them more than ten cen-
turies old, and exceedingly perfect, are among the
valuables destroyed. Of the statuary burnt and
rendered rorthiess, were a statue of Jefferson; an
Apollo in bronze by Mills; a very superior broszo
likeness of Washington ; a bust of General Taylor,
by an Italian artist; and a bust of lea Fayette, by
David. Only three books were saved from the
principal library, namely, the Librarian's Register,
an account book, and an odd volume of Lord Kings-
bury's magnificent work on the Antiquities of
Mexico. The library, situated in the centre of the
west front, was constructed with great taste and
beauty. The room, 92 feet in length, 34 in width,
and 36 in height, having alcoves over which were
two galleries extending throughout the apartment.
The room wax handsomely ornamented, and the light
was admitted both from ample windows and from
three skylights above. Paiutings, marble busts, and
cabinets were a part of the attractions, in addition to
the elegant folios of coloured prints, and a choice col-
lection of books, gathered from a'l civilised countries,
and from international exchanges. One of the
cabinets had recently been placed in the library.
The frame work was of mahogany, and in the maple
Imlay, covered with glass, were inserted choice
bronze medals, commemorative of events in ancient
times, and which were deposited through the agency of
M. Vattemare. Mr. Jefferson's library, embracing
about 7,n00 volumes, was purchased in 1813 for
23,000 dollars; and this termed the nucleus of the
55,000 volumes which have since aseinnulated. Con-
gress has, for a series of years, annually appropriated
5,000 dollars or 6,000 dollars for the purchase of
books and papers; and it is est invited that these have
cost the government, in addition to the Juni-mon
purchase, übout 200,000 dollars. The original de-
claration of independence had been preserved. The
origin of the tire has been ascertained beyond a doubt.
On the removal of the rubbish, one of the timbers of
an alcove, entering the wall on the east side of the
library, exactly where the tire was first observed,
was found to extend into a defective flue leading
from the committee room, where a wood fire was kept
This timber was mostly consumed, while other ten-
bets in parts of the wall were but slightly buried.

found in decomposed layers of slate, which, un being
stirred, ernr.able like slaked lime, and expose to tke
sanguine miner the shining and precious metal in
quantities sufficient to satisfy the most avaricious.
There is one feature of this news which is not so
piedmont as that concerning the new discoveries. The
Aim Fark Herald says:—"it is much to be feared
that the Indians in California arc conspiring for the
purpose of exterminating the whites, end that an
Indian war will be the cousevence. If the Indians
should array themselves against the whites, their
extermination will certainly follow. There is no
doubt, however, that they have been badly treated
by the white settlers, especially by the emigrant.
from Oregon, who have always looked upon the In-
diana as enemies, and tired upon and killed them
without remorse. At all events, the two races never
bare agreed, and it is the red man's fate to disappear
before his white brethren."
The intelligence which had given rise to the fore-
going remarks, is taken from the Sas Franciaca
Ile rahl, lice. I, and is as follows :
Icy the +hawser Ohio, which arrived yesterday morning,
we have received important intellgence Irvin the southern
country. The following letter from our special correspow•
dent furnishes the particulars:—
" Los Angeles, Nov. 23.
"The usual quiet of this place has jug been somewhat
interrupted by the receipt of the tollowing letter by one of
the citizen, from a connevi oa of his, announcing the pro-
bability of an attack by the Indian tribes who inhabit the
neighbouring mountains:— _

.. • Rancho of Nov. 20.
" • Dear Friend,—Anlndian was here yesterday
sent by the Demerol Antonio of Agua Caliente, to giro MC
make, telling me that Antonio had sent hint to ask me
• How were we here ?—if we were well t' I answered him,
Well, what about ? ' Ile replied that Antonio had com-
manded him to advise us that the Indians were going to
rise ; that the Indians of the Colorado were coming to fall
upon San 'hero: and Antonio and Juan Antonio, with
their people, were going to fall upon Los Angeles, and
those of the Totems upon Santa Barbara; and that he
sae :going to Los Angeles upon the bunnies of Antonio.
I do not know if it is *retain, and if you have learned
anything, I beg you to give me notice fur my govern-
ment. since yesterday I have learned that this Indian
was talking with the Indian Cuomo, servant to —,
and related to hint that the Indian Antonio had gone to
the river Colorado, and hail killed all the Americans who
were there, and had thrown them into the river; had
convoke,' the Yuma', and that fur thousand were coming
to fall upon San Diego, and those of Antonio would
fall upon Los Angeles, and those of the Tulare upon
Santa Barbara, in order to make an end of all the Ameri-
cans, to tight for their land; and that already Antonio
had sent to the river, to draw the cannon that belonged
to the deceased, with their animals, to enter Los Angeles;,
and that Antonia had sent to advise us that we should
not have any fear of their doing injury to us • that those
they came to kill were the Americans. This last I have
leagued now, but not from him; and that at one time they
were going to tall upon the three places." The causes of
this move meat are supposed to be the killing of a small
number of the Cahuilla tribe, at a disturbance in this place
on the occasion of a Peon festivity, in the early part of this
month, the particulars of which you have already published,
and other alleged wrongs which this tribe declare they have
+uttered from the whites; also the imposition of • heavy tax
upon them in the couuty of San Diego, and the er foreentent
of the same. The receipt of this communication produced
various impressions here ; some of the citizens betraying en-
twines', whilst others treated it as of little importance. A
' call for a public meeting to organise and prepare for a de-
feat* was yesterday posted up, but no meeting was held.
However, a volunteer guard is on duty every night. More
importance is attached to the rumour to-day, from the re-
ceipt of a note by the lion. Abel Stearns, from his major-
diimo, in charge of his cattle at Temecula, about twenty-
one leagues distant from this. It is dated yesterday, and
stated, upon the information of a semi-eiviliseil Indian,
that the Cabuillas have risen ; that they have stolen from
the ranch of the lion. John Warner, twelve head of cat-
tle, and killed others. Mr. Warner had, with his family,
moved to San Diego. Others in that neighbourhood were
moving their rattle into the minion of San Luis Rey.
The bearer of the note also brings the additional report
that the Indians had killed a mud' party on the Colorado,
who wi re dnving sheep. The Ohio, which came up this
this morning from San Diego, reports the same rumour as
having been received there. There appears to be no doubt
that these Indians are committing depredations upon the
ranches in their neighbourhood. Some effort is being made
to raise a company fur the purpose of protecting the ruche',
though there ts a great lack both of arms and ammunition
here. However, it is to be hoped that these rumours of
wars will prove to be no more serious than others which
have heretofore afforded a pleasurable excitement in this
quiet town.

The pr,osonciamiento of Cordova is not yet sup-

The hurricane at Mazatlan on the 27th and 29th of
October was very devastating in its effects. The
rain fell in torrents, the sea rose, and the streets
were flooded so that the water penerated into the
houses. The vessels in port were driven from their
anchorage, and dashed against each other with vio-
lence. If the tempest had continued two hours
longer, the whole town would have been reduced
to a heap of ruins. As it was, all the fame houses
and those which were badly constructed were pros-
tasted. Of the eight small vessels in port, four were
destroyed and two stranded. The English corvette-
of-wax Daphne lest her masts. In the city, 22 per-
sons were killed, and a large number wounded.
Three sailors were drowned. The office of the Es-
trella del Paolsce was so much injured that it had to
suspend publication.
The Indians still continuo their ravages in Du-
rango and Chihuahua.
A large number of dead bodies have been found
on the plain of the Sepultures, ten leagues west of
Parras. It is supposed that they are the bodies of
persons murdered by the Indians.
The modifications in the tariff proposed by Con-
, greas aro as follows :
1. To reduce the duties on all objects of general con-
sumption.
2. To make such alterations in the duties on articles of
luxury and licpiers as the government may deem proper.
3. To permit the importation of raw and coarse manu-
factured cotton ; the former paying a duty ad not over three
cents. a pound, the latter six rents. per yard.
4. To exempt the cotton manufsetories from the taxes
under which they at present suffer, in the interior of the
republic.
d. To liquidate, call in, and annul the permits for the in-
trixluction of cotton now outstanding, and to set apart for
this purpose fifty per cent. from the duties.
6 That the government effect a loan of two million and
a half of dollars, by public adjudieation—i. e. by selling it
to the highest bidder—giving a lien on the duties to he col-
' lected from the articles of which the importation shall be
permitted, according to the preceding project.

The English vessels of war in the harbour of
Vera Cruz were the Indefatigable, a 0 guns; the

It is stated that the British fleet has stationed it-
self off Vera Cruz for the purpose of blockading that
port, in ease the Mexican Bonds due to the English
are not instantly paid. " The adoption of this course

liy a telegraphic despatch from New Orleans, we
are infermed that hostilities have recommenced
between the revolutionists and the government
troops. Ihe former, under Caravajal, had made
an attack upon Ceralvo, and after two day.' hard
fighting, succeeded in taking nearly the whole of
the place. The Mexican troops are said to have
lost great numbers in killed and wounded, and those
which were left sought refuge in the fortress.—

arms, provisions, 5:c., of his enemies. As soon
as ho succeeds in routing the Mexicans from the
fortress, it is said he will be able to march into
the city of Monterey without opposition. This
looks as though the revolutionists were really in '
earnest ; but, at the same time, it sounds very much
like seine of the representations of the siege of
Matamoros, by the seine party. It will bo recollected
that the opposing armies fought bravely at the
, latter place for many days cannon balls, bomb
shells. rifle balls, buckshot, and all other kinds of
missiles were fired into the city and out of the city
—every point was assailed—walls were battered
yown, and numerous houses tired—the revolutionists
gained possession of tho larger portion of tho town,
and were certain of complete triumph, after such a
desperate struggle—when, allNof is sudden. they
beat a speedy retreat. On referring to the lists of
the slain and injured on both sides, we found—killed,

lutionary army, and a large part of the Mexican.
