THE UNITED STATES.

By the Niagara we have seven days later intelli-
gence than that received by the Europa on the 26th.
We le..rn by this arrival that the Vice-President
elect, the Hon. Mr. King, was seriously ill, so much
so that but little hopes was entertained of his reco-
very, in consequence of which he had resigned the
honourable office to which he had been so recently
elected. This sad event had oast a general gloom
over the whole of the United States.

It appears by the Canadian and United States
papers, that another discovery of gold had electrified
the
.people of Canada, and the republic at Sherbrook.
It is said gold to sonic extent had been found, by
which the Canadians anticipate a run of Californian
and Australian successes.

The advice' by the Europa at tbis port, on the
2fith, reported the American steam-ship United
States being at Aspinwall, awaiting the amval there
of the freight, mails, and passengers of the Winfield
Scott from Sau Francisco. She has since arrived at
New York with two days' later intelligence from
California. The late disastrous fires continued the
principal subject of interest. Several of the missing
persons had been discovered in the ruins. Great
progress had already been made in rebuilding those
parts of the city which were destroyed.
The news from the mining districts continue to be
of the most favourable character.

The Chinese are leaving California in large num-
bers for the Celestial Empire, taking with them good
quantities of Fold, the produce of their labour.
From Mexico later advice. had reached New York.
The dates from that city were to the 26th of Nov.
The revolution was making progress everywhere,
and government was unable to check it in any
quarter. General Crags had entered fully into the
movement in Guadalajara, and was endeavouring to
enlist the population of Guadalajara and Michoacan
in the same cause. All the provinces on the Pacific
coast appeared to make common cause in favour of
Santa Anna, and thole upon the Gulf seemed dis-
posed to follow their example. A sort of fatality,
says the Courier des Etats Urals, seems to push
Mexico into the power of this man, who has already
been so fatal to her, and who, more than any other,
has a right to superintend her funeral.
Private letters say that General Caravajal has
crossed the Rio Grande with 400 Texan Rangers,
and is marching on Monterey. It is said he has been
invited by the citizens of Tamaulipas, and that Gen.
Cruz, the military commandant at Cemargo, is in-
directly aiding the movement.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs publishes a cir-
cular forbidding the landing, in numbers, of strangers
in the republic. He states that the leader of the re-
volution in Mihoacan is the very man who made the
proposals to General Scott at the close of the war.
Mr. Stevens has addressed a note to the Minister
of Foreign Relations, withdrawing his Tehuantepec
proposals. The name of Sly has also been withdrawn.
Ihe port of Actata has been closed, and the intro-
duction of goods is forbidden at the risk of forfeiture.
The insurgent forces are increasing, and 4,000 men
with 22 pieces of artillery had moved against the re-
volutionists of Guadalajara.
A project is on foot in Chamber of Deputies au-
thorising the government to contract a loan of three
millions.
