UNITED STATES.

The Britannia, Capt. Lang, arrived at Liverpool on
Saturday afternoon from New York. Her long
passage was occasioned by her having experienced
strong easterly winds during the whole voyage. Her
dates are to the 25th ult. The Europa had arrived
out in ll; days, being the shortest passage on

record. -
The intelligence, as well from America as from
Mexico, will be found in the following letter from
our correspondent:
NEW YORK, OCT. 25.
Our newspapers are discussing with some fesli..g an ill-
natured remark upon the United States which recently
appeared in the London Times. Its purport was, that we
were on the brink of destruction, and t tat a trilling CUM
might topple us over. Of course the Timms, or the Standard,
or any other paw r, may say what it thinks, and think es it
may. The fact is otherwise than is represented. And
while we regret to see such statements trade by any influ-
ential English journals, it is very certain they produce one
striking effect here. They draw forth from all parties, save
s few abslitionists, an unequivocal dissent, end an express
&ion of resentment at the very idea of a disi,olution of the
union. Our writers say this is a very pre ty affair indeed,
and exceedingly handsome on the part of those English
politicians who, menaced by the chartists at home, and the
Irish in Ireland, with discontented colonist', and an Indian
empire that noires large armies for its retention, speak so
flippantly of the only safe and prosperous cJuntry in the
world. 'You may rely upon it that when we so far (rept
ourtelves as to indulge in animosities which wear a threat-
ening appearance to foreigners, paragraphs like dose in the
Tones produce a reaction which disproves their truth.
I am more and more satisfied with the accuracy of al
previous opinions on this subject. We have, in our saps
rience, found South Carolina, which has aenerally followed
the councils of its great protagonist, Mr. Calhoun, has bon
a good index to the general feeling of the south. What
must we think, then, when we learn that at the tecent else-
for members of congress and members of the legislature
of that state, Mr. Cslhoun's opinions have received a decided
check, by the choice of a large number of representatives,
who say, in regard to his ultra views, " We will proceed no
farther in this business ?" When we notice, too, that the
whig party has triumphed in Florida, another southern
state, we conclude that its ruodercte and conciliatory
measures are there also coming into favour.

Norfolk. A French brig, the Pumas, suspected of having

4,000 dollars, being found on board, were seised by the
authorities. It seems that Vera Cruz is not very submissive
to the general government. There has bees an outcry and

this the government responded by a threat of form, and the

did set think of issuing similar ingructions to the district

From Vera Cruz coiriderabie quanrities of spade are be-
ginning to arrive at thin port. The first large arrival was

My guesses'. as to our local elections have roved to be
pretty accurate. There is no longer any doubt that the
whip have carried the states of Pennsylvania and Ohio.
The change in Pennsylvania is most surprising, since the
democratic party have always been certain of the state by
from 20,000 to 20,000 majority. In Ohio the whip ve-
trey has sot bees so deckles, but considering the
lamed made on the party by the free soil question,
it is a wonder it has been successful at all. At
the preeidestial election there will be three electoral tickets

The view team of the election by thinking afoot all parties
is to this effect,—that General Taylor will be our next presi-
dent. I will add that if thin so turns out, we shall have an
upright end honourable administration of the government,
sad our friendly relations with otner nations will be main-
taised. . . . . .

In our own city the public attention is kept alive by many
local incidents. Thus we have a project to en-
liege our marine parade by the addition of many
eves mule by filling in to a certain extended line.
This promenade is considered by us one of our most bean-
tifal places. It was once the site of a fort and outworks, and
defended the city in the olden time. It is memorable for its
being the point mocked by the Asia man-of-war in our re-
volutionary and colonial struggle, and it is filled with beautiful
trees, under which, in summer time, those who like to snuff
the ess breeze mist do congregate. At either terminus of
its exterior line, an arch in form, our Matinees depart for
Staten Island, the towns on the Raritan, and those along
Long Island Sound. The lovers of antiquity exclaim against
any alteration of the battery, while others contend that it
will be far more beautiful than ever. We intaglio the pro-
ject will be carried through. It is in accordance with the
spirit of the people, and will give employment fur some yens
to • large number' of working men.
Another subject of local interest is the sudden influx of va-
lush's paintings from Germany. Several costly collections
have arrived already for preservation, not for axle. It
mew the German muses are frightened at the vicinage of
evolutions. They are welcome to our shores, and we will
maim theme kind reception and " trope of friends."
As I elms this letter, 1 perceim that a telegraphic des-
patch has arrived from New Orleans. It states that the
nesse, had brought later dates from Mexico. The informa-
tion is brief, bat is confirmatory of previous rumoun that a
revolution has been actually attempted, and that the govern-
ment defeated any decisive movement by • timely display of
troops and cannon. Iturbide, a young officer of some note,
with many others of his clue, was mental, being charged
with the design of misstating Oen. Santa Anna.
The information which I nave given you in a former part
of the letter in relation to the affair at Tipple* is confirmed
by the fact that Goneral linstemesta is raising 4,000 men to
arrest the progress of revolt in that gaarter.
Connected with our own national affairs, we have to-day
a story afloat that our government is endeavouriog to pur-
chase the island of Cuba from Spain. As our present aimi-
Distention belongs to the order of progressives and agaves-
am, we should not in the legal be surprised to learn that it
has sounded the Spanish ministry en the sabiect. No action,
however, can take place definitively without the consent of
Comities. Truth compels mete say that I believe the purchase
of Cuba would he popular will a large number of th.. people of
the Oates, and in met agreeable to the moot intelligent of the
Ramos. The island is owe( the finest in the world, and
ittaly requires development to be a perfect treasure. Fee
my own part, I think the extension of our territory beyond
the wants of our population, and of our laws and institutions
to trees (mien in descent, language, and religion, is not
ealy simile, but absurd. Snide., as we extend our out-
