ARRIVAL OF THE AMERICA.
(FROW 01:6 OWN CORRESPONDMNT.)
LIVERPOOL, SVNDAY MOUNINO.
The America left Boston on the 13th September,
and Halifax early on the 17th. In addition to the
usual mails, the America brigs 36 passengers (among
whom is Mr. G. E. timeling, bearer of despatches to
the Colonial-office), and specie to the amount of
112,500 dollars on freight.
The America passed the Royal Mail steam-ship
Niagara tsn the 13th Sept., within fifty miles of
Boston. On the 18th, at 5.50 p.m., passed the Howl
Mail steamer Africa, and yesterday, at 6.25 p.m.,
passed the Royal Mail steamer Asia, all belonging
to the same line. On the 19th, at noon, passed the
British barque Oberon, in lit. 47.32 N., long.
50.58 W.

The United States' mail steamer Ilumboldt, from
Southampton and Havre, had arrived in New York
on the morning of the 13th Sept., and die Royal
Mail steam-ship Europa on the 10th.
The news brought by this arrival does not present
anything of interest.
Under the head of "Thomas ltaritig's mission to
the United States," the New Fork Herald says:
The head of the great London financial house t 4 the
' Baring Brothers, has been here for some days, and Atil
Walt-street is in the dark in regard to the special objects of
kis visit. It was first given out, with an sir of semi.otticial
authority through the London journals, that he was em.
powered with the nee 'wary discretion for the most anipie
and satisfactory settlement of the fishery question. Since
the arrival of Mr. Bating, however, it seems that the
object of his visit, at this particular season of the year, is
the settlement of the l'cruvian guano question on a pac.tic
basis, which will be satisfactory to Mr. Webster, Captain
Jewett, the English Peruvian bond holders, Peru herself,
and even the guauo-making penguins and pelicans of the
Lobos islands._

The Washington correspondent of thesame journal
makes the following remarks upon the fishery ques-
tion. It may be remarked that that journal is the
only one which makes any mention of that question
at all :

The statements in the English papers, that the fishing
difficulties have been arranged, are not to be relied on.
On the contrary, it is voifidently state I by those whose au-
thority is not to be blighted, that the British imperial go-
vernment, by the !art steamer, sent despatches to Mr.
Crampton intimating that no arrangement had been made.
Indeed Aamiral Seymour has his express order, since Con-
gress adjourned, sent through Mr. Crampton, to seize every
Yankee vessel within three miles of the colonial shores.
Strange to say, the dispatches of Mr. Abbott Lawrence,
and of Lord Malineshery, are quite discreputa. There is
some misunderstanding and some bungling somewhere.
Mr. Lawrence seems to think there is no trouble ahead.
Lord Malinesttury is not of that 'minion. The c lonial eo-
vertunenta will not allow the imperial eovernment to trams
with their rights or their interests. ble.Webster's announce-
ment that he did not intend to allow the provincial govern-
ments to interfere, has not cussed not a little ex-
citement amongst them, and strengthened them in
—,sing-street. You may depend upon it, the pre.
• ~.sition at St. James's will cot do anything
. .

to compound what the colonists deem to be thi:'ir
iri-
interests or to thwart their wishes ; and it will enforce the
construction of the treaty as to she bays and headlands,
which it is well known was superinduced by colonial
influence. The British government, conforming to the
views of the colonists, have not the least idea of allow-
ing us to fish between the headlands of their bays nor
within three miles of their coasts or shores, without
receiving a fall equivalent. The equivalent required,
it is said, is reciprocal free trade between all the colonies
and the United States, in all the productions of 'gel-
culture, the forest, and the sea of each; and a full
and equal participation in all the eoast fisheries of the United
States, including the privilege of wrecking, fishing, and
catching turtle in the Gulf and Straits of Florida, and other
southern coasts. This lest privilege has been repeatedly
sought by the British government, of the United States; but
has hitherto been unformly refused, upon the remonstrances
of southern states, on the ground that its extension would
afford facilities fur the free negroes of the British Bahamas
tampering with the slaves near the coasts ; and on the ground,
also, that the fisheries were owned by the states, and could
not be disposed of by federal authorities.
Negotiations, it is known, are expected to be set on foot
between Mr. Webster and Mr. Crampton. Mr. I'erley, of
New Brunswick, hal been here some weeks in attendance
en the British embassy, but he leaves here to-morrow.
His extensive information with respect to the cola-
Met, and especially the fisheries, have, we doubt not
been found quite valuable to the British minister, and as
he is a warm champion of the colonial interests and
rights, hie views will doubtless be impreiaed on any
meting. meat that may be made. Tee negotiations, it is
probable, will be opened at Marshfield, whither Mr. Cramp-
ton will go as soon as Mr. Webster is prepared to enter
upon them. The reciprocity question would probably have
been adjusted at the late session, had Mr. Fillmore beta
able to persuade himself that the adjustment of such in-
terests was a proper subject of treaty arrangement. Ile
resists the idea of tariffs by treaty, as it is regarded as an-
tagonistical to the whip doctrine of protection to manufac-
turer by revenue tariff laws. Mr. Webster has more en-
larged mews.
Accounts from Peru state that the whole popula-
tion is up in arms, owing to the last accounts re-
ceived from the United States, stating that the Ame-
rican government had offered protection to a set of
adventurers to load guano at the Lobos Islands. The
precipitate letter of Mr. Webster had been the cause
of creating a most bitter feeling is all classes against
the American government, and the nation, en InaSSe,
is preparing for the worst, crc they give up what is
theirs by right and by nature.
On this subject the National Inteltiyencer contains
the following letter:
Legation of the United States, London, Aug. 24.
Dear Sirs,—l noticed in the New York Herald of the 11th
inst. en article, copied into the nines of this morning, in-
timating that I had consented, on the part of the I. nited
States, to the monopoly of the Lobos Islands between I'eru
and Great Britain. I have not spoken or written of these
islands to any person connected with the British govern-
ment; I have received no csinnsunication from the govern-
ment of the United States relative to them ; I have expressed
no opinion about them, nor, indeed, have I mule
an examination to form an opinion. I ant, therefore,
at a lose to know the reason for such a statement.
I am, dear Sire, very faithfully,
Your obdient servant,
ABBOTT LAWRENCE.
Accounts from Ravannah to the 3rd inst., showed
that the island continued in an excited state.
From accounts which left Jamaica on the 6th, it
appeared that the La Plata arrived on the 3th. The
small-pox had almost subsided. Another earthquake
was distinctly felt on the 213th of August. There had
been a considerable fall of rain.
From Mexico, there is intelligence to the effect
that Munoz, assisted by some Americans and French-
men, had seized on Leon, and marched on ltealejo.
