UNITED STATES.
A teleraphic summary of the following appeared
in the Laress of yesterday
The llntish and North American Royal Mail
steamer Cambria, Capt. Leitch, arrived at Liverpool
yesterday morning at 9 o'clock. She left Boston on the
.6th, at 12.20, and proceeded to Halifax, whence she
took her departure at 2.60 on the 28th, and took a
pilot at 4.3. i this morning. She has, therefore, made
the whole voyage in about 11 days 16 hours, includ-
ing the calling and delay at Halifax.
The Cambria brought 23 passengers and 607,800
dollars in specie. 'the last part of the mail from
New York, by some accident, did not arrive up to
the departure of the Cambria--a circumstance that
will be of great importance to commercial men. The
usual telegraphic despatch also from New York to
Halifax, had foiled to reach in timo for the
Cambria.

The Asia (Judkins) arrived at Halifax on the 24th 1
at a.m., and at Balton on the 23th at 4 p.m., being
a passage of 10 days 8 hours and 20 minutes.
fhc cause of the detention of a part of the New York
mail was no doubt a revere snowstorm, with very tem-
pestuous weather, which prevailed on the night of
the 23th, during which we regret to record that a
boat belonging to the H. M. steamer Asia, which had
arrived that afternoon, was capsized, on her return
from a visit to the Cambria, and four of the hands
(two of them married men,
.belonging to Liverpool)
were unfortunately drowned.
Accounts from Washington say that the meeting
of Congress is now looked forward to with the live-
liest interest. The departments and bureaus are all'
activity in placing their reports and business in
shape ; and the President's message will claim un4
usual attention from the variety of interesting topics
it must of necessity embrace, and upon which the
public have been kept in ignorance.
Henry Clay has arrived from the west. His
friends openly declare him a candidate for the Presi-
dency.

ton, North Carolina, at the Marion Court. It
appears that Col. W. W. Avery, in an un-
armed and defenceless condition, was passing from
the Court-house to his room, after an arduous dis-
charge of duty to his client, in the case then pend-
ing, wherein Fleming was a party, he was attacked
by samuel Fleming, who, having armed himself, used
a cowhide, which he had secreted about his person.

fully armed, walled within the bar of the court,
appearing in Col. Avery's presence for the first time
since the attack with the cowhide; whereupon the
latter rose and shot Fle dead on the spot. The
ball, it is thought, passednthrough his heart. Col.
Insley at once placed himself in the custody of the
Fl!pw officer, with a view to &judicial investigation.

officers of the customs who have obeyed his orders.'
The folly of this conduct is in striking contrast with
the tact displayed by Avalos. Had he not taken the
course which is now so bitterly denounced by many
of the Mexican papers, he would not have been able
to rally a single man to the standard of the govern-
ment; and Caravajel, instead of meeting' a deter-
mined resistance at Matamoros, would probably have
entered the place in triumph without being com-
pelled to waste an ounce of powder. That officer
RiMoCII was the first to complain of Avalos for taking
off the prohibitions, on the ground that it alienated
from him the support of the people of Matamoros.
By the following, it will be seen that the insurrec-
tion has extended mto the state of Vera Craz, and that
there are premonitions of a rising in the state of
Puebla. The Trait cr Vision says :
Cordova ham also seat forth its pronunchunento. The
objects of the movement are not very definitely set forth,
but the declaration is appended to a proclamation, the pur-
pose of which, according to some, is to separate the depart-
ments of Orizaba and Cordova. Others, however, say
that the project is to favour the plan of Ceravejal. The
fact is that thy/ who have pronounced are commanded
by Captain Manuel 00111 AZ &traria, and by a retired
Lieutenant-Colonel Felipe Romirs, who on the 22nd
October shut themselves up in the convent of St. Augus-
tin, and there raised the standard of rebellion. In this
position they held a parley with the Ayuntemiento, of
whom they demanded the reinstatement of the political
chief and the chief justice of the department. The
Ayuntamiento feigned to sympathise with them. The
insurgents not being strong enough in numbers to leave
their position, the authonties of Cordova found time to
address them at Orizaba city, who at once sent them three
hundred men of the National Guards, who reached Cor-
dova on the evening of the 23rd. The rebels, having heard
of the arrival of this reinforcement, fled and took refuge in
the hacienda of Portrero, but not without the following
prisoners being taken, viz., Capt. Gomez Saravia, the
Regidor Juan Gomez ' • a Spaniard, named Juan Trueba,
and two other individuals whose names are net given. On
the 27th Oct., at midnight, a body of the National Cluerds
pursued the rebels to the hacienda of Portrero. Having
arrived at the hacienda, this force, which was divided into
two detachments, became the victim of a fatal error. One
of the detachments took the other for the enemy. They
fired upon each other. One of the guards fell mortally
wounded, and three other were more or less grievously
wounded. They discovered their error at last. The de-
tachments re-united, and dispersed the rebels in every
direction.

It does not appear that the disturbance stopped
here. The Fray Fok'e of the 3rd ult. says :
According to reports,f we have received,d the guerilla
party of ccaovmalztealnydais';eanivy,
reed by a detachment yof thmeeunia!
timid guard of Ormabos, who sallied out from Cordova un-
der the Commandants, Clement Lopez, in pursuit of the
_ _

party. By one of theie misfortunes'wliich always happen
or such occasion we have to report the death of a corpo-
ral of lancers, and the wounding of five others, amongst
whom is Second-Lieutenant Francisco Mino, of the lancers,
who behaved bravely. The enemy abandoned their arms,
their papers and munitions, but we do not know what leas
they sustained in men.

munication will probably soon be established be-
tween Demerara, Essequibo, and Berbice.
The Royal Gaulle says :
In agricultural matters there is nothing new to report.
The planters are getting in their crops as fast u they can,
and looking forward with hope to the early arrival of im-
migrants from the east. Without deciding on what is the
best:kind of immigrant labour, we may safely assert that
the very existence of this colony u an exporting country
depends on the continuance of immigration of some kind.
The weather has been most favourable, and there is every
reason to hope, as the fertility of our soil continues oath-
minished, that with a steady supply of appropriate agri-
cultural labour, the colony will regain, before long, the
position she once occupied as a prosperous and productive
dependency of the Britisn crown. The shipping in port is
loading rapidly, and all in activity in the Demerara river.
IX TRINIDAD the weather was settled and fair, and
the sugar and cocoa estates were expected shortly to
commence their respective crops. It was appre-
hended that the next sugar crop would fall something
short of that of 1831. A Spanish vessel was loading
at Port of Spain, and some activity had thereby been
given to the cocoa market. The best quality of that
article was selling at from 5 dollars to 5 dole. 50c.1
per fanega. The mind of the public was engrossed
by certain statements made by the Trinidadian, that
instruments of torture were used in the royal gaol.
In the Legislative Council two reports had been
brought up relating to immigration from America
and China, and Mr. Lath was to move for the intro-
duction of 400 Chinese labourers at the expense of
the colony. A committee to report upon some con-
templated improvements in the law was named. The
Insolvent Debtors' Ordinance had occupied the at-
tention of the Council.

ANTIGUA experienced a shock of an earthquake of
unusual severity and duration on the let of Novem-
ber, but with no material damage or loss of life.
The Grenada Free Press of the 29th of October,
states that a resolution had passed the House of As-
sembly to grant a salary to the Speaker. The sum
required for the supply service of the colony during
the ensuing year is 16,0001. The weather was fa-
vourable for the estates generally, but the want of
labour was severely felt. The ensuing crop is, never-
theless, expected to be equal to the last. The island
was not healthy.
We have files of papers front Martinique of the
latest dates. M. Biretta, the representative of Mar-
tinique in the Legislative Assembly of France, was
expected to return to the island in the steamer duo
there on the 22nd Nov. front England.
A decree of the French President is printed in the
journals, withdrawing from Admiral Vaillant the
title (conferred in April last) of " Governor-General
of the Antilles," and thus leaving him charged only
with the government of the island of Martinique,
and with the command of the naval station of the
West Indies and Gulf of Mexico. The same decree
appoints M. Aubry Bailleul, a captain in the navy,
to succeed Colonel Fieron as Governor of Guadaloupe.
The new governor was to sail from Brest on the 4th
of November, on board of the frigate Galatia.
In French Guiana the yellow fever, which had
caused a fearful loss of li.e among the inhabitants,
had ceased its ravages.
In St. Lucia the weather continued favourable to
agriculture, and the canes throughout the island
were beautiful and promising.
The Barbadoes journals are principally occupied
in discussing the routes for the projected new inland
post, which will be of great benefit to the colony.
From Tortola the governor was about to despatch
a responsible agent to Porto Rico and Cuba, for the
purpose of identifying and claiming several British
subjects (natives of the Virgin Islands) supposed to
be held in slavery in those colonies. A bill had
paned in the legislature, by laying a tax of 3s. on
all the mules in the island, to raise the funds neces-
sary for defraying the expenses of this mission. The
executive had dissolved the House of Assembly, and
new elections were to take place.
The Dominican papers announce considerable de-
falcations in the treasury department of that island.

OPTIONAL PAYMENT OF LETTERS FOR SARDINIA.
--General Peet-office, November,lB.sl.—As the regulations,
announced in Jute last, with respect to the optional pay-
ment of the postage on letters addressed to Sardinia, appear
to be not generally known, it has become necessary to give
further notion that letters for Sardinia mav now be for-
warded by way of France, either unpaid or wholly paid to
destination, at the following rates of postage, via.:

and so on, the British postage increasing according to the
scale in operation for charging inland letters, and the
foreign postage increasing one gite for each quarter of an
ounce. It must be clearly undd!btood by those parties who
wish to pay the postage on their letters, that they must pay
' the whole postage to destimation. If only a portion of the
proper postage be paid, the letters will be sent forward as
unpaid letters, and treated as if no portion of the postage
bad been paid ■ on them.

EXPULSION OF THE CORRESPONDENT OF
THE DAILY NEWS FROM GERMANY.

HAMBURG, Die. 7.

When I communicated the fact of my expulsion
from Berlin on Monday last, I most certainly
anticipated that it would be instantly with-
drawn, and that I should receive permission to
return without delay. I could not believe
that the Prussian Minister for Foreign Affairs,
Baron Manteuffel, who has not disdained to hold
communication with your correspondent, would
sanction the odious measures that had been taken
against me without some further grounds than the
mere "police considerations" which had been as-
signed. In the conviction of perfect innocence of all
and every offence, I calmly awaited the just and
reasonable award of Baron Manteuffel, more espe-
cially as I received a letter from Mr. Howard, the
British charge. d'affaires, stating that he had applied to
that minister in the firm and decided manner Buchan
occasion rqaired. I was doomed to be:ridiculously
diappointe and justly so, for, in my sanguine ex-
pectations, I forgot entirely to what absurd lengths
a Prussian president of police is capable of carrying
his ignorance and malice. On the third day
after my arrival in Hamburg, I received a
second letter from Mr. Howard, from which
I quote the main passage. He states, that
Baron Manteuffel, in his reply to the application, in-
forms him " that you have been recognised as one of
those dangerous persons launched upon the continent
by the committee of revolutionistsof all nations, sitting
in London in order to propagate their subversive doc-
trines, and that the measure has received the full sanc-
tion of the minister." Under these circumstances I

shall naturally not remain an hour longer in
Germany than will be absolutely indispensable.
Such an accusation hanging over my head, however
unfounded, is sufficient to procure my arrest and ex-
pulsion, even in the free city of Hamburg.
Perhaps our energetic foreign minister, Lord
Palmerston, may be able to insinuate a little more
common sense into the noddles of the autocrat police
of Germany, or at least to prevent in future English
subjects from being deprived of their liberty on un-
just or unfounded charges.
