LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY.-By the arrival of the
Royal Mail steam-ship Hibernia, Captain Stone, we
are in possession of ;:deices from New York to the
29th ult. Owing to this being an irregular mail, she
did not touch at Halifax.
Previously to leaving New York the Hibernia was
thoroughly overhauled and repaired. Throughout
the passage she experienced very heavy weather from
the eastward, which has rather delayed her arrival.
The alleged correspondence between Mr. Clayton,
the Secretary of State, and Mr. Crampton, the Bri-
tish Charge d'Affaires, relative to the Mosquito ter-
ritory, is, according to the newspaper organ of Mr.
Clayton, a sheer invention. From the National In-
telligence, the paper referred to, we quote the follow-
ing _ _

"A statement is going the rounds of the Opposition
press that an angry correspondence has arisen between
this Government and the British Charge d'Affaires, Mr.
Crampton, about the British claim to the Mosquito
coast. The whole story is a sheer invention. In this
respect it is very like another ridiculous story circu-
lated by tho Democratic press, that the Secretary of
State had advised that Madame Poussin s hould not be
received at the President's, and that M.. Poussin re-

sented it by insulting the Government. It is hardly
necessary to say that there is no foundation -whatever for
such a statement, or for any part of it. T here were no
unkind feelings between M. Poussin and Or ty member of
the Cabinet. Tho sole cause of our Gover Lament taking
offence is to be found in the correspondence: a M. Pous
sin alone. The Opposition papers have begs filled with
other fabrications, which we hardly deer% worthy of
notice; such as that Washington's farewell. address has
been sent as part of the instructions to ottr Foreign
Ministers; that the Cabinet is divided and Lnot harmo-
nious in its action, &c."

M. Poussin, the French Minister, had left Wash.
ington for New York, where he intend( td awaiting
instructions from his Government.
" Previous to leaving Washington he mr tee repeated
efforts to have an interview with the PI visident and
Secretary of State, and that for this lrurposo the
friendly services of Mr. Crampton, the Brit is h Charg6,
were interposed. They were unsuccessful, however, as
neither General Taylor nor Mr. Clayton tht 'tight it pro-
per, after the steps that had already been is ken, to hold
any intercourse which might become of an official cha-
racter with M. Puussin."

The Advices from Canada are scanty, a ad not very
late. The New York Bun gives a telegraphic item
from their correspondent at 'Montreal, u oder date of
the 29th ult., which we quote :
" News has just reached here that the riot a as Bytown
have been renewed. The two parties have , anet, and a
terrible conflict ensued. Numbers have bee at dreadfully
wounded, and eight lives are already ref eirted to be
lost."
There was a rumour of an intention to remove the
Administration from Montreal.

A decision had at length been given in the case of
the Astor-place rioters. The result was a, verdict of
guilty against all who were captured on that lamen-
table occasion of party violence.
The royal mail steam-ship Severn had, arrived at
Mobile with 1,101,000 dollars in coin, ;mostly for
England. From the capital ,of Mexico, it is an-
nounced that the new tariff would soon 1 wcome law.
Yucatan accounts mention that England v as about to
intervene for the pacification of the Pe a.insula, by
virtue of a contract with the President of ti so Republic,
on condition that the fort of Bucalos and jurisdiction
be ceded to England.
The steam-ship Crescent City arrive eel at New
York on the 26th tilt., with advices from Chagres to
the 16th, Kingston, Jamaica, to the 28th, r ind Panama
to the Bth. She brings no intelligence fry = the gold
districts. The steam-ship California we s to leave
Panama for San Francisco on the 29th, and would
take on all passengers. The weather at P znama was
very pleasant, and the cholera had entiveicy ceased.
The price of passage on the river Chagrea was very
much reduced, owing to a steamboat havin g made a
successful trip to Gorgona.
We have Havannah advices to the 16th ult. Ac-
cording to the papers there were great Tejoicings
throughout the island on account of the successful
efforts of the United States Government to break up
the " secret expedition."
