LIVERPOOL, SEPT. 9.
The America arrived this morning g, advices
from N. York by telegraph to th'4Both and
$847,408 in specie.
The largest portion of the allied squadrons had
returned to San Francisco, from Petropaulovski,
including the Monarch, President, Eurydice, Obli-
gado' La Forte, and Alceste.
The officers of the French and English vessels
were to receive a number of complimentary balls
from the citizens of San Francisco during their stay
in the harbour, and in return they were to give like
entertainments on board their vessels. A number
of seamen were landed from the French frigate La
Forte. Most of them were affected with symptoms
of scurvy.

According to the Russian Consul at San Francisco
Sitka had not been abandoned by the Russians,
owing to a convention between the Hudson's Bay
Company and the Russian American Company,
which was concluded at St. Petersburg and Lon-
don, by the provisions of which this portion of the
Russian possessions is exempted from hostilities.
No hostile proceedings against the place were in-
tended.

On arriving off the harbour the allied ships did
not enter, but the Erglish and French Admirals
with their suites embarked on board the English
steamer Brisk and entered the port. They were
waited upon by a boat from shore containing the
Governor's secretary, who communicated the infor-
mation that, in accordance with the spirit of the
treaty between England and their Government, no
preparations for defencehad been deemed necessary,
and that none had been made. If the French
Admiral think proper to assail the town no resist-
ance would be offered, and they could only ask
that they should be taken on board the men-ofwar
as prisoners, for if their defences against the hos-
tile Indians were destroyed, and the town burned
the whole population, men, women, and children,
would be at the mercy of the savages, who sur-
rounded the place in such numbers that their de-
struction would be inevitable.
Her Britannic Majesty's frigate Pie Captain
Nicholson, had sailed for the river Amoor, the
Russian possessions in Asia, and thence for China.
The British frigate Dido and- the steamer Brisk
were to touch at Vancouver's Island, thence to
San Francisco.

Accounts from Vera Cruz to the 22d ult. report
that Santa Anna left the city of Mexico on the Bth
ult., signed his abdication at Perote, and pro.
ceeded to Vera Cruz, where he embarked on the
17th ult. for Havaunah. He was escorted in his
flight by 2,500 troops, but shortly after leaving the
capital one third of them revolted, lolled several of
the officers' and then joined the revolutionists; on
arriving at Vera Cruz another revolt broke out,
hut a single regiment continued faithful to their
fallen chief, and the mutineers were vanquished
and fled in confusion.

With reference to the reconstruction of the Go-
v•-rnment it appears, however, that the plan of
Alvarez has been adopted, and that General Carro
is Provisional President, and General La Vege
Commander-in-Chief of the army, instead of Santa
Anna, who left the capital, on the pretence of quell-
ing the insurrection in Vera Cruz. The office of
the Universal and 40 other buildings had been de-
molished by the populace during the excitement
consequent upon Santa Anna's departure. The
military interfered, killing 40 persons and wound-
ing a large number. The statue of Santa Anna
had been torn down and trampled on by the
people.

Delegates met in the city of Mexico on the 10th,
who elected General Carro president for six months,
and also ordained the liberty of the press.
Advices from Cuba to the 23d state that her Ma-
jesty's ship Daring was at Vera Cruz, for the pur-
pose of embarking Santa Anna on his arrival, and
that a Spanish steamer had been likewise placed at
Li-; service.

Sicknesg was on the increase, but it was princi-
pally confined to the soldiers.

bour on the 16th, and reported having experienced
very heavy weather at sea. Some anxiety was ex-
perienced for the safety of Bitish mail steamer
Wyc, which was nine days overdue from Vera
Cruz.

Mr. James C. Thompson, Albany, had received
an offer to assume the chief engineership of the
Russian navy, and was at Washington making the
necessary arrangements with the Russian Minister.
A terrible accident occurred on the 27th between
New York and Philadelphia (on the New York and
Philadelphia Railroad) ; 23 persons were killed and
70 wounded. Among the killed was Baron de St.
Andre, French Consul at Philadelphia.
The Daniel Webster had arrived at New York
from Fuenta Arenas, with $712,000 in specie.
Tho cholera had abated at Nicaragua, but not
until it had swept away nearly all the Government
forces. The remainder of the troops had been
centred at Grenada.

The epidemic had also visited Leon, and the re-
volutionary army suffered much from its attacks.
The Costa Ricans kept up a strict quarantine
both by land and water. The best interests of Ni-
crragua are reported as in a very perilous position.
The Accessory Transit Company had a party of
armed men at Castillo, in order to watch Colonel
Kinney's movements. It was reported that Gene-
rals Garidola and Lopez with 200 men from Guate-
mala had attacked Honduras and routed General
Cabanas. It was also said that Colonel Kinney
had made an attack on Rivas. The revolutionists
from Leon had attacked Managua, but were re-
pulsed. _

Greytown (rebuilt) was looking well, and all the
sufferers by the late bombarment, from the Briti-h
Vice-Consul downwards, were preparing to submit
their claim for damages to Congress.
Colonel Walker had marched into Costa Rica,
and after some negotiations gave up his arms to the
authorities, who guaranteed him protection from
the Nicaragnama ; however, in a short time after,
the latter seized 20 of his men, when the Costa
Ricans raised 1,300 soldiers, and sent a demand for
their delivery. _ _ _

Advices from the great Salt Lake City report

from fever during the 48 hours previously to noon
of that day.

At New Orleans the deaths in the city during
the week previously to the 27th were 471, includ-
ing 357 deaths from yellow fever, being a decided
decline.

The _New York Evening Eepress of the 28th

"The yellow fever continues to desolate, we had al-
most said decimate, the stricken cities of Norfolk and
Portqmouth. Awful as were the incidents attending
the New Orleans epidemic the summer loefore last, the
melancholy particulars we publish elsewhere—the latest
to hand—throw these sombre reminiscences into the
shade, and the worst of all is there is no abatement—no
prospect of abatement as yet. This is terrible. Be it
the part of those are afar off, and in safety, to continue
their contributions in aid of the sick and the suffering
poor."
Up to the 23d the yellow fever was not prevalent
in Mobile.
Confidence in every department of the United
States' commerce and finance was steadily gaining
ground. Money continued abundant, but stocks
were heavy. Exchange was firm, at 109.1 to 1101
on London, and at 5 12A to 511,E on France. Cot-
ton was firm. Lower prices were taken for flour.
For provisions there was an active demand at en-
hanced rates. The iron market was firm ; Scotch
pig sold at 35 dollars, six months. Freights re-
mained inactive.

METROPOLIS LOCAL MANAGEMENT ACT. On Satur-

missioners appointed by Sir G. Grey to set out the
northern portion of the metropolis into wards, held his
Court at the Court-house, Mary leone- ane b l , for the pur-
pose of dividing the parish of St. Marylebone. The
collectors and oth
ers present having offered some sug-
gestions, the learned gentleman proceeded to set out
the parish into eight wards. The division appeared
to give general satisfaction. Mr. Cooper also held his
court for the parish of St. Mary, Newington. After
