THE UNITED STATES.

The United Stake mail steam-ship New York
arrived at Cowes yesterday. She left New York on
the 26th ult. Her &deices are meetly anticipated by
those of the Hungarian, published on Wednesday.
A New Orleans telegram of the 25th alt. says:
" The steam-ship Tennessee has arrived here with
Vera Cruz dates of the 22nd inst., and 36,000 dab.
in specie. Minister M'Lane arrived there on the
Vet, but remained on board the Brooklyn, in con-
sequence of his family being sick.
Ihe report that Marquez had pronounced in
favour of Santa Anna was without foundation. The
report of his seizare of the conduct* is confirmed, bat
that of his escape is contradicted. Marquez says that
he is using the money to save the country from the
Yankees, and promise to return it from the first duties
received at Topic and Mazatlan, which he intimates
he intends retaking. Miramon waa at Queretaro
waiting for the liberals, who threatened the capital.
Dahl :do had been defeated at Guaoatjaato with
heavy loss. An American officer who was with him
was shot or assassinated. Cobos had captured Ca-
pes, and the liberals there had disbanded. The
Pieoyune's correspondent reports that the French
fleet will soon blockade Vera Cruz. Miramon, at
the suggestion of the French Minister, is to open
Alvarada as a port of entry. Insurance policies are
to have a blockade clause inserted in them. Ml-
remelt also proposes simultaneously attacking Vera
Cruz. _ . .

" The Savannah and one French and one Spanish
brig of war were at Sacrificias. A revere gale had
cattred several small v.seels to ran ashore.

The legislature of Texas has authorised the go-
vernor to call out all the troops necessary for the pro-
tection of the frontier. The governor appointed
Capt. Ford commander of the troops, and he started
for the Rio Grande on the 18th, with orders to
Cortina, and his baud. The Brownsville reports
created intense ruitement throughout Texas. The
small town of Gonzales raised 200 men in two days
to proceed to the scene of disturbance. Cortina'
had returned Deputy-Sheriff Campbell to Browns-
ville unarmed against the wishes of his own men.
General Houston recommends the legislature to au-
thorize the raising of a regiment of mounted men to
protect the frontier from the Indians. Brownsville,
on the 19th, wu still closely besieged, and the ex-
pedition wu preparing against Cortioas."

The following is an extract of a letter dated St•
Petersburg, the 19th of November flat of Deormber), sod
received yesterday .—" A courier arrived to-day in forty.two
days from th• Amcor, with great Iltird. The Emperor of
China has given the Russians aortas to quit, ad he had newer
inathotieed the cession of territory, and had only just heard
of the settlement I Meanwhile the good= Embassy at
Pekin id sealed up' is its palace."

hostility to Prase* he. decided that Its troops than wear
outlaws of the Multi= model, instead of barotqforo the
Prussian.
