ARRIVAL OF THE CAMBRIA.
(BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.)
LIVERPOOL, OCT. 18.—The British and North
American Royal Mail steam-ship Cambria has just
arrived in our river, with mails and passengers from
New York, which port she left on the 3d instant,
calling at Halifax on the 6th, on her homeward voy-
age. The dates brought by the Cambria are four
days later than those received here on Saturday by
the Hibernia.
The steamship Canada, which left this port on the
22d, called at Halifax, to land some of her mails and
passengers, and proceeded onwards.
The disturbance of the relations with France seems
to produce some apprehension not absolutely of war,
but interruption of the friendly intercourse which has
so long subsisted between the two countries.
From the city of Mexico our dates are to September
13. The arrangement made by the Mexicans had not
been approved by Congress, nor would it be.
The British brig Tartar, bound from Wilmington
to Liverpool, had, in distress, put into Norfolk, Vir-
ginia, having been on her beam-ends for some time,
and thrown overboard her stores, fresh water, deck-
load, bulwarks, &c. Six of the crew perished.
The New York Tribune says that the condition of
Mexico is far from quiet. Rumours of a revolution
and change of Government are talked of, and men-
tioned in private correspondence from different sec-
tions of the country. Santa Anna is, of course, the
" coming man" in all these negotiations.
There have been no disturbances in Canada since
the Bytown riots. The Governor-General is going
about the western provinces receiving and responding
to addresses. The Ministry have gone from Montreal
to Toronto to meet his Lordship. It was reported
tbat the latter bad been appointed as the seat of
Government.
We have advices from San Francisco to August 18,
being 16 days later than the news brought by the
steamer Panama. This intelligence was received
through Mazatlan, Mexico, and Vera Cruz, and
reached New York in the mail of the British steamer
Severn, by way of Mobile.
The news from the mines is of a most glowing
character. The yield of gold was steady, and though
there was, as a matter of course, much disappoint-
ment among individuals, the general result was
highly satisfactory. It is estimated that the average
product of all the mines together thus far, since the
beginning of the season, has been 2,000,000 dollars
per month, and there was thought to be no doubt of
its continuance at the same rate of abyndance.
The Americans had determined that the American
Chilians who were at the mines should no longer
enjoy the privilege of digging.
The cotton accounts are fully as unfavourable as
ever.
The editors of Tennessee State were shortly to
hold a convention on professional matters, after the
example of the New York and Maryland contem-
poraries.
The health of New Orleans, especially to strangers,
is much better this season than ever it has been known
to be, and this, notwithstanding the sediment, &c.,
of the disastrous overflow some time ago.
A convention of nine counties in Alabama had been
held at Shelby Springs during the last week in Sept.,
to carry out the Selma and Tennessee Railroad.
The commercial accounts represent business in all
parts of the Union as being in a very brisk state, and
the fall trade was as promising us it appeared when
the Europa left.
The money market, too, since her departure had
been very easy, especially in New York. Money was
plentiful, and obtainable at moderate rates.

BUENOS AYRES and PARAGUAY.

The latest intelligence from Monte Video is of vast
importance, inasmuch as it discloses that preparations
of a co•operative character are being made on a large
scale, in anticipation of the arrival of a French expe-
dition for the relief of that city.
It is currently reported and generally believed that
the armament and enrolment of the peons, which has
been ordered by the Buenos Ayrean Government,
and was said to be for the purpose of opposing a
formidable body of troops to the inroads of the Arau-
canian Indians, has in reality altogether a different
destination, and instead of going southwards is to be
directed against a northern State, upon whose
existence the Government of Buenos Ayres has long
looked with a jealous eye.
The Republic of Paraguay, alarmed by the
threatening inuendoes of General Roses, and justly
fearing that the day of aggression was not far off,
has made preparations upon an extensive scale to
repel the invader. A well-equipped army, of between
fifteen and seventeen thousand men, has been
organized, and is now ,encarcped upon the frontier
of Corrientes. It is well understood that this State
has decided upon action, and that if any movement
be made by France, it will advance its forces to the
assistance of the Government of Monte Video, the
integrity of whose territory is considered to be the
great safeguard against the inroads of their grasping
neighbour and common enemy..
The Empire of Brasil, which has been long ap.
prehensive of the adverse influences of Buenod
Ayres upon its southern provinces, has concludes,
with Paraguay an alliance offensive and defensive
and, in conjunction with that Republic, watches with
intense anxiety for the expected decision of the
Europeon Cabinets.
As it appears that the French Government have at
any rate rejected the Le Predour treaty, and are pre-
pared to take some steps to secure the independence
of Monte Video which they have guaranteed, thrre
is every probability that the difficulties and troubles
which have so long impeded European commerce in
the Aiver Plate will pew be speedily ended,
