UNITED STATES- MEXICO.

The Europa, Captain Loft, arrived at Liverpool
early yesterday morning, with dates from New
York to the Bth; Boston, 9th; and Halifax, 11th
inst. Congress at Washington is bringing its business
to a close.
According to latest accounts from Vera Cruz of the
26th ult., Bustunente had entered Goajuanato, and
defeated Paredes. It was also stated that Padre
/mate had been captured and shot.
Accounts from Yucatan bring more favourable in-
telligence. Letters fr.m Sisal of the 15th ult. state
that the white inhabitants in the neighbourhood of
that town hare been gaining pow, r, and were gra-
dually subduing the Indians; but famiLe would
shortly finh,h what the Indians bad left.
Accounts from Laguna of July 13 state that that
town had been given up to the Mexicans on the 25th
of June. The American ex-commander Bigelow des-
pitched the steamer Iris on the 29th of June for Cam-
peachy to bring off to Laguna all the destitute women
sad children who might choose to come. Mazatlan
had also been given up by the Americans to the Mex-
ican authorities.
There was no later news from Cutts, and the news
of the unsuccessful outbreak there was doubted.
There were no changes to note in the market ex-
cept in the matter of Indian corn, which had advanced
floe cents a bushel since the arrival of the America
and the Hermann. The cotton market was dull.
Floor was firm at previous prices and with a fair bu-
siness doing. In exchange there way some activity ;
rates for England at from 9 to 9.1, ; and for three days

The following letter from our correspondent gives
hill details of news :
NEW YORK, Aro. 4.
The work of agitation goes on among the Irish in this
eity. The impression is strong here, probably owing to pri-
nts advice', that ere this an outbreak has occurred in Ire-
land, and that whatever the " sympathisers" here intend to
do mast be done " immediately, if not sooner." Last night
thins was an immense gathering at Vauxhall-gardens, in
this city, the papers of this morning assuring us that fifty
thousand persons were present. Very great disorder and
tradusion prevailed. Each club or society that came to the
plan of meeting seemed to rush through or over all who had
remedy arrived. The speakers were scarcely heard, very
little was done, and the contribution', some 2,000 or 3,000
idlers, were quite disprorrtimed to the number of the
tenets present. Two thing, only of a memorable character
geared—one was a statement that the British consul had
lasght to obtain an indictment against the chairman (Mr.
Bohm Emmett ),and the other was a declaration of one of the
weaken, that 3,000 men were organised to proceed to Canada
end attempt a subversion of the colonial government, in which
they are to be joined by fifty thousand insurgents. The
Charge against Mr. Buchanan, the consul, must be un-
founded, for he is too intelligent not to know that the presi.
tag at a public meeting is not a violation of our laws, nor
would the mere sending of a sum of money to Dahlia be such
i violation. Our laws regulating this matter are the acts of
vagress passed sth June, 1794 ; the 20th April, 1818 ; and
the 10th March, 1838. These, among other things, declare
it to be a misdemeanor for any citizen of the United States
to accept er exercise a commission from any nation or people
at war, with a nation with whom we are at peace, or to en-
list or enter himself, or go beyond the limits or jurisdiction
of the United States, with intent to be enlisted or entered,
or tobegin or set on foot, or provide, or prepare the means
foray military expedition or enterprise to be carried on
froze thence against any nation with which we are at peace,
or to " hire or enlist troops for foreign service." The
President is required by law to employ the public force
gewerally in enforcing our neutrality. There is no doubt
however, that while such men as Mr. Emmett keep clear of
the_ law the subordinates are constantly burning their
Wm. The whole sum thus far raised in this city by the
iropethisers is far short of 10,000 dollars. It is not equal in
het to the sum which was raised • few weeks since to re-
hnild the stables of an omnibus proprietor who suffered by
fue. When the Greeks wanted money we gave them a
bleak, but towards the Milesian " Greeks" we are not so
well disposed. The truth is the Irish, while they are
Wily useful as labourers, are pretty unruly as citizens.
Then it • strong and increasing feeling against them among
the Am. riming, which is manifested warmly among them-
*km The advertisements in our newspapers for servants
oftea discover this feeling by the expresaion "No catholic
trait need apply." If the disorder and confusion of last
evening are to mark the future progress of Irish politics,
khrretion will be but a change of misery.
Our presidential canvass is going on, but without much
Vint es yet. The election in the state of North Carolina is
tot • so favourable in its results to the whigs as was expected.
.1.11 state has received the sobriquet of " Rip Van
wiekle," an allusion to the long political naps ic has fre-
Cfttly taken, when all the other states have been wide
awake. Added to thin uuexpated supineness on the part of
2. North Carolina widget is another dangerous symptom,
4 untral-aage of a large national convention in Buffalo,
Atm in session, at which a final effort will be made to rally a
~Wria, 'm
always the question of slavery. If Mr. Van Buren,
-"° ha y been a southern man in feeling, should be
liken UP al the antislavery candidate, it is believed by many
that he will receive votes enough to prevent • direct election
the peo_ple, and that the choice will devolve upon the
.._.°4_l, of Reprezentatives. For my own part I as yet see no
'r +on to change the opinion heretofore expressed that
r al ral Taylor will lae elected. In the months preceding
me election a hundred things may occur which the wisest
Minot now foresee
Congress is on th. e point of adjournment. Nothing ins-
e Pollant will occur before its departure hum Washington.
_/I:pra Mexico we hear that the government has sustained
'elf nirsinst Paredes. The country is, however, in a
wretched condition. Robbers infest the high roads, and
llinsidolrers are at the head of the respective states. Two
illi s of the three paid to Mexico by the United States
uealready expended, and the monitor is calling loudly for

the vouchers. An intelligent American officer, who hu
been in ail the great battle', allures 1318 that If the respecta-
ble Mexicans could be wanted of the re-appearance of our
troops, and the continued occupation of the country could be
depended undo, they would rush forth by thousands to
welcome their approach.
Large shipment• of goods are now being made to California
from thia port. It is the impression that large for:unes will
be acquired in the new territories. Some flue steamers are
nearly ready fur the Pacific, under govern . ent mail con-
tracts, and will ply between the American ports on that ocean.
