LATEST NEWS FROM AMERICA.

By the arrival at Liverpool on Saturday of the
packet-ship Rochester from New York, whence she
sailed on the evening of the 6th inst., we have re-
ceived files of American Papers from the 25th ult.
to the 6th inst. inclusive. From the United States

the news is unimportant. On the 27th ult. Major
General Macomb arrived at Charleston and in-
formed the authorities that he had effected a pro-
visional treaty with the Seminole and Mickasankie
Indians, which would be of immense advantage to
the settlers in Florida. By this treaty the chiefs
and warriors of these Indian tribes have agreed not
to pass a conventional line to the south of which
they are located, before the question of disputed
territory has been settled between them and the Go-
vernment at Washington.
The Great Western arrived at New York on the
31st ult., having made the passage out in thirteen
days and six hours. The accounts which she
brought of the appointment of an eighteen hours
Tory Cabinet in England, and the late emeute in
France, occupy the whole of the New York
Journals of the lst inst. The defeat of Peel and

his party is a subject of congratulation in the
American papers.
From the South American States the news is
very interesting, as will be seen from the subjoined
extracts. Prefixed are the latest accounts from
British America:—
THE CANADAS.

Sir George Arthur arrived at Kingston on Tuesday last
on his way to Brockville, to investigate in person the cir-
cumstances connected with the seizure and subsequent re-
•toration of the schooner S. G. Weeks at that place. The
Toronto Patriot has had a hint, from head-quarters pro•
bably, for it discourses on this affair in a much more sub-
dued tone than it is in the habit of employing.
The grand jury of the Newcastle district has gravely pre-
sented Lord Durham's Report as a public nuisance !
Arrangements are in progress at Quebec, and Kingston
fcr the immediate conveyance of the prisoners now in For t
Henry to New South Wales. They were taken at Wind-
sor, and their names are as follows : _

Samuel Snow, Eliazer Stephens, John B. Fyrrel, John
S. Gwitridgc, James M. Aitcheson, John Spragge, Ro-
bert Nash, Riley M. Stewart, Henry V. Barnham, John
Chester Williams, James P. Williams, William Notterge,
John H. Summons, Elijah A. Woodman, Chauncey Shel-
den, James D. Frero, Michael Morin, Hiram Cooley, and
Alvin B. Sweet.

Eight others, taken at Pointe-a- Pelee Island in the
winter of 1837, were conveyed from Kingston to Toronto
on the 24th ult., for trial at the assizes. NVe subjoin their

Lames:-

HALIFAX, May 7.—The Lieutenant-Governor of Nova
Scotia has selected the lion. Lewis M. Wilkins and the
lion. Alexander Stewart, under the resolutions of the
Legislative Council, adopted during the last Session of the
Provincial Parliament, to proceed to England to watch the
movements of the Delegates recently sent by the House of
Assembly.
FROM ST. JOIIN'S.—The British ship of-war Crocodile,
Captain Milne, four days from Bermuda, arrived off St.
John's on the 17th inst., landed 2,000 stand of arms,
brought from Plymouth by the Inconstant. After deliver.
ing the arms on board a schooner, she proceeded to Halifax.
MONTREAL, MAY 24.—Yesterday afternoon, Bonaven-
ture Viger, his brother, H. Newcombe, and one Langlois,
were brought to town in the Princess Victoria, having bee!.
taken prisoners on this side of the line. It is strongly
suspected that these villains have been of the party which
has committed so many robberies of late and set fire to so
many houses and barns. They were all well armed with
pistols and bowie knives. Viger is one of the individuals
who were banished to Bermuda; and, according to Lord
Durham's ordinance, he is liable to be banged for return.
ing to Canada. Newcombe is the son of the traitor now
under sentence of death, and was particularly active dur-
ing both rebellions ; headed the party which attacked the
escort near Longueuil, while bringing in Demeray and
D'Avignon as prisoners from St. John's, when Sharpe
was so severely wounded that his life was despaired of foi
-ionic time. A troop of Ilussars arrived in the Princes:
Victoria, and their presence served to prevent that sum-
mary justice being inflicted on Viger and his brother re
bels which our conciliatory Government is afraid to carry
into execution, even when sanctioned by a legal tribunal.

MEXICO.
DEFEAT OF TILE FEDERALISTS.-EXECUTION OF GENERAL

MEXIA.

We have just received papers and correspondence,
which we will publish on Monday. It will be seen by thf
extracts of the letters that the execution of Gen. Mexia
but too true.

'" Vera Cruz, May 16, 1839
" By the schooner Water Witch you have, no doubt, been
apprised of the de feat of the federal army, and the death o:
Gen. Alexia. We are assured that he died a hero Urrea ant
his company have taken flight. They arc gone, it is said,
to rejoin the remainder of their troops at Tampico. Busta
mente and Areste arc marching on this point; there is m
doubt of their success. Their plan has been defeated b)
the taking of Puebla, where they had ramifications, but
which have now been entirely overthrown.
" I have just learned, from an undoubted source, that
General Alexia received the most humiliating insults from
Santa Anna. Some few moments before his death be had
been ordered to be shot with his back turned to the sol-
diery as a traitor to his country. This he refused, and lu
was murdered in a yard, Santa Anna gratifying a personal
vengeance.' "—Louisianian..
" The action took place six leagues from Puebla, at a
place called Necarigo. General Mexia, with 1,000 men,
attacked the enemy—the Government troops consisted of
9.500 men, under General Valencia. The action com-
menced on the 7th inst., at four o'clock, and lasted till ter.
o'clock, A. M., during the whole of which period General
Mexia fought with the most undaunted bravery, having
taken the artillery of the enemy no less than three times,
which was as often retaken. "
When on the point of gaining a victory he was chased
in the rear by Santa Anna, who had just arrived with
1.400 men from Puebla. His sudden and impetuous attack
threw the Federalists into confusion, from which they could
not be rallied. They fled in all directions, leaving their
commander. Mexia, a prisoner to the Centralists. He was
immediately ordered to be shot by Santa Anna, and tilt
sentence was executed without delay. The loss on either
side was not ascertained."—Bee.
We have conversed with the captain of the schooner,
G. H. Wetter, who left Vera Cruz on the 16th inst. H:
informed us that the official accounts of Alexia's defeat had
keen published at Vera Cruz ; but he came away without
any newspapers. It appears that General Mexia had
advanced, at the head of 600 men, to within five leagues
of the city of Puebla, and that he gave battle to about
double his force under two Generals of the Centralists;
the action began about daylight, and victory favoured
Alexia's small army for several hours. A little before ten

o'clock, however,- his battalions were suddenly charged
from the rear by about 600 cavalry, under Santa Anna in
person. The shock was irresistible ; Alexia's army was
nearly all cut to pieces. Taken prisoner himself, he war
tried by a drum-head court-martial in the afternoon, and

shot at five o'clock.
" We understand that there have been some cases of the
vomit° prielo at Vera Cruz. The city was quiet, and in-
tercourse with the interior brisk as usual."—Courier.
(From the New York Inquirer.)
TREATY WIT!! MEXICO.—We arc informed, through a
channel in which we confide, that Mr. Ellis carried out
with him, on board the frigate Constitution, which sailed
a few days since, a treaty negociated at Wash-
ington, and signed in the early part of April by Mr.
Martinez, on the part of the Mexican, and Mr. Forsyth
on the part of the American Government. By the pro-
visions of this treaty, we understand that within three
months after the ratification of it by the high contracting
parties, two commissioners are to be appointed by each
power, which tour commissioners shall form a board, to
hold their sittings at Washington, to whom shall
be submitted all private claims, that within eighteen
months after their first meeting they shall examine and
decide on all cases submitted to their consideration. That
immediately after the result of their labour shall have been
communicated to the Mexican Government, that Govern-
ment shall issue its bonds, bearing an interest of eight per
cent., to the respective claimants for the amount of the
award in their favour. That these bonds shall be receiv-
able in payment of duties at the several Custom-houses of
the Republic of Mexico, but that when large sums are
presented at one time or at one place, the Government
may refuse to receive more than one half such amount.
We are further informed that all those grievances of a
public nature which have heretofore threatened to interrupt
the peace of the two countries, including the difficulties
respecting Texas, are substantially arranged in a satis-
factory manner.

CONGRESS OF PANAMA.
