AMERICA.

ARRIVAL OF THE CANADA

NO NEWS OF

THE

PACIFIC

The British mail steamer Canada, Captain Lang,
has arrived in the Mersey from Boston and Halifax,
bringing 45 passengers, and advices from New
York to the 26th, Boston to the 27th, and Halifax
to the 29th ult., all inclusive.
We regret to state that nothing had been heard
of the missing steamer Pacific, but in New York
hopes of her safety were still entertained.
The American steamer Atlantic, which left
Liverpool on the 6th ult , and the British steamer
Asia, which also left Liverpool on the 9th—three
days later—both arrived out at New York on the
25th. The Cunard steamer Etna from Havre had
a'so arrived out after having put into Halifax for
coal. The steamer America from Liverpool was
Passed by the Canada on the 29th ult. going
into Halifax. The Canada also passed the Persia
at 1.15 p.m., on the 9th inst., 37 miles to the
Westward Fastness.
The advices by the present arrival are a week
later than those previously received. The Euro-
pean accounts taken out by the Atlantic and Asia,
which it will be remembered were of rattier a
bellecose character, had attracted some attention,
but caused very little anxiety, the American people
Renerally regarding the talk about a war between
Great Britain and the United States as too im-
probable to create any alarm. The New York
Times, in its commercial article, on the day after
the receipt of the last English news, says :—" The
Foreign intelligence by the Atlantic and Asia, to
hand yesterday, was very quietly received to day,
both in Stock, and Money, and the General Market
circles. There is little or no uneasiness mani-
fested in regard to the discussion in England of
the diplomatic relations of that country with the
United States, so far as the possibilities of war are
supposed to be involved. At the same time it is
felt among our business people that it would be
much more agreeable to have the disputed ques-
tions between the two Governments amicably and
Permanently out of the way of angry discussion
and recrimination."
On the other hand, the Washington cot respon-
dent of the New York Herald writing on the 25th
lilt. says The Cabinet had quite a protracted
cession to-day. The subject before them was, I
Understand, our relations with England. It is
understood this evening, that Mr. Crampton will
be dismissed. In that ease, intercourse between
England and the United States will be suspended,
as England will, as soon as she learns that her
Minister has been dismissed, also refuse to receive
Fur minister; thus there will be no diplomatic
intercourse for some time, at least between the
countries, until there is an amicably settlement of
c'ur difficulties?'
The Washington correspondent of the Boston
Advertiser, writing on the day following, says :
Ile intense excitement caused by the telegraphic
despatches of the news by the steamers Atlantic
and Asia, on Sunday last, is allayed by the assur
ance that there is nothing in the government
despatches since received calculated to diminish
the hope that our differences with England may be
Pacifically arranged, although our relations with
that country are not materially changed since the
advices by the Canada. Mr. Dallas will soon
receive his written instructions, his intercourse
with the State Department heretofore being of a
verbal character. The government despatches
show that many of the speculations and assertions
of the British press and statesmen are untrue : nor
'a there any ground for the rumour of an angry
altercation having taken place between Lord Cla•
relition and Mr. Buchanan. It may be.confidently
asserted that no formal proposition has been made
by Great Britain to arbitrate the pending differ-
ence% Under these circumstances we believed

our government wouid not accept that mode of
tuliustrnent."
The correspondence on the British enlistment
question was to be laid before the Senate on the
20th, in conformity with a vote of that branch of
the Legislature. It was stated that it contains
five lung despatches from Secretary Marcy, besides
one which he sent to Minister Crampton, in which
he pressed the accusations very closely. The first
despatch is dated June —, 1855. The one which
closes with a request for Crampton's recall, is
dated Dec. 28. It also contains two curious letters
from Mr. Buchanan, giving an account of his in
terviews with Lord Clarendon about the Maury affair
and the co_teroporaneous panic episode. The
correspondence covers more than two hundred
ages of foolscap. In writing these facts, the
Atl°ston Advertiser adds :—" The despatches by the,

flaaate that one will be forwarded soon. Ti

BRAZILS AND THE PLATE
The Tamar has arrived seven days before she was due,
and has proved to he the fastest steamer that has ever
been on the Brazil line. She has brought a mail bag
from the government emigration ship Ocean Monarch.
RIO DE JANEIRO, Feb. 13 —The cholera is all but
extinct in this city, ,nd app-ears to be spreading slowly
over the whole of the empire. The theatre of St. Pedro
de Alcantara has been, for the third time, destroyed by
fire. An American steamer, called the Mary Smith,
attempted to land a cargo of 320 negroes, but was taken
by the Brazilian brig-of-war Olinda. The commander
and crew are all Americans, and were ironed and locked
up in gaol. The schooner embarked 500 of the blacks,
hut during the voyage 180 died, and of those landed at
Bahia 64 died a few hours afterwards.
A misunderstanding arose between the English and
French admirals and the American Commodore in this
harbour, which at one time wore a rather serious aspect.
A steamer, called the America, from New York to Cali-
fornia, put into this port for coal and water. On the
eve of her departure Admiral Johnstone received infor-
mation that the vessel was, in reality, a Russian privateer,
in disguise, conveying an enormous quantity of munitions
of war to the Pacific, and that the greater number of her
officers were Russians. The admiral immediately pulled
on board the Savannah, American frigate, and demanded
explanations of the commodore, who refused to allow a
search to be made on board the steamer. Upon this the
English admiral threatened to send his steamers out to
overhaul the vessel should she leave the port, and the
reply made was, that the Savannah should be towed out
by her to protect the America if necessary. Admiral
Johnstone returned to his frigate and made ready for sea,
and the Trident and Rifleman got up their steam, whilst
the Savannah run her guns out and actually cleared for
action. Subsequently, however, the business was patched
up by the commodore of the steamer, declaring upon his
word that the report was. entirely false. The French
admiral, however, declared that he was not satisfied.
(Thus far we know ashore.) The America towed the
Savannah out this mornitvg, and the Indefatigable, Rifle-
man, Trident, and French frigate Poursuivant, sailed
last night, but whether a collision will take place out-
side, or whether the Indefatigable and Poursuivant are, in
reality, gone down to the River Plate, as announced, we
cannot say. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
Rio DE JANEIRO, Feb. 14.—Coffee: The falling of
supplies is easily accounted for, as the planters are too
careful of their slaves now to expose them to the chance
of being carried off by cholera. There is plenty in the
interior, but it will be some time before it is brought to
market. Our stock is about 100,000 bags, and prices for
superior, 6.600 to 5.800 ; good first, 5.300 to 5.500 ;
ordinary, $49 to $5l. In exchange about £550,000
have been passed, chiefly at 27a to 274, which latter is
the ruling rate.
BantA, Feb. 17.—Cotton : Holders are beginning to
be more anxious to realize. Ordinary sugars are neg-
lected. The coffee crop is closed, and quotations are
almost nominal. The sales of cocoa have been insigni-
ficant. Exchange : London, sixty days' sight, 28d.
PERNAMBUCO, Feb. 14.—For dry goods the demand has

been extremely dull, owing to the prevailing sickness.
Sugars : Our entries have averaged 4,800 bags per dtem,
which have far exceeded sales, notwithstanding which
the prices have been on the rise, and we quote browns,
to-day, at from 2.200 to 2.600, and whites from 2.900 to
3 990 per arroba. Cotton • The entries have been ridicu-
lously small, and tho prices have not varied. Hides are in
great demand, and much higher prices have been paid
there and at the outports. Freights for Liverpool, ad to
7-16 d per lb., from this and outports. Exchange on the
whole amount transacted, including that for the Portu-
guese boat, about £lOO,OOO, the bulk of which was at
28d. Discounts : Money hes become more abundant,
but our bank rate has continued at 12 per cent. per
annum ; the rate has been raised as high as 18 per cent.
per annum out of doors, but money to-day is easier, at
from 12 to 14 per cent.
