AMERICAN NEWS

EXPRESS FROM LIVERPOOL.

!OURTEEN DAYS LATER FROM
AMERICA.
LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY NIGHT.
The Acadia steamship, Captain Miller, from
Halifax, has just arrived, and brings New York
papers to the 2d inst , and Halifax dates of the 3d.
She sailed from Halifax on the 3d inst., late in the
evening, and has performed her voyage home in ten
days. She brings sixty-nine passengers, who
all seem delighted with their accomodation, and also •
with the attention paid by Capt. Miller to render
the vo) age pleasant to all on board. In this her
first voyage the Acadia has shown that she is one
of the fastest steam-ships plying between this and
North America, having beat the Britannia, which
made the passage in ten days, by about three hours.
The Money Market was easy and money rather
more plentiful. The rate of exchange was 7s.
premium in favour of England.
The following are the only entracts of any
portance contained in those papers :
MEXICO.
All our news from the capital has hitherto come
through the Centralists : their statements, of course,
put the most favourable colouring upon events for their
own side of the question. Though, even by their own
admissions, it is' manifest that the Federalists were
making formidable and triumphant movements. The
only item of intelligence yet received, which
seems to be of an impartial character, is
contained in a letter written from the city of
Mexico, by a private citizen, after the breaking
out of the revolution, to a Correspondent at Tampico,
and which ha% been forwarded to New Orleans—the
representations are very favourable to the Federalists.
The revolt_ in the city of Mexico had been joined by the
common people rising almost en masse, and the majo-
rity of resident foreigners. In the capture of the ci-
tadel several Mexican Generals had been taken and shot.
Among others the name of Gen. FoitNal is mentioned
" Amongst the Centralists, suspicions and jealousies
prevailed, the leaders not knowing who to trust, and
afraid of being betrayed by their best friends."

IMPORTANT FROM TEXAS.
The brig Emprasario, from Galveston, brings the
following intelligence :
(From the Galveston Ccurier, Aug. 12.)
The blowing letter addressed to us, with despatch,
came to hand yesterday, with the following endorsement
on the back,—" Will Mr. Pinekard sec this delivered
immediately, as it contains important news from the
frontier ?"

Montagarda, Sunday Morning, Aug 9.
TO A. SHEPHERD; ESQ.
DEAR SlR,—Captain Hanson has just arrived from
Linnville, and states that he saw Lionville in flames, atid
an army of 2.„500 Mexicans and Cherokee Indians. Capt.
Watts and MajorO'Ncill w ere killed. The inhabitants fled
naked to their boats. Capt. HANsoN had also learned
that Victoria and Dimwits had also been burned.
Watts' wife is a prisoner. This news is not to be neg-
lected. HANSoN saw Linnville in flames, and also the
army paraded.—Written to you by order of Colonel
HORTON. S. PILKINGTON.
P.S. Concentrate your forces at Casey's Old Ferry.
You will warn all your country forthwith.
Friend CAsE—The above is the copy of a letter
handed to me this moment by Austin Bryan, Esq.,
from Quitana. There is thought to be no doubt at all
as to its truth. Your Friend,
JOHN F. HUTCHINSON.

The latest papers from Texas, via Ncw Orleans, are
to the Bth inst. They were brought by one of the
steam-packets to that city on the 14th inst. The papers
contain nothing of this description,nor did the passengers
say anything about it ; on the contrary, the republic
was regarded as in a very quiet state. This may,
nevertheless, be true, though we doubt it,—New York
Sun, Sept. 1.

This is settling day in the Share Market, and to-mor-
row in the Foreign. It was generally anticipated that
mischief would occur, owing to the considerable fall in
the various funds buth in the British and Foreign Mar-

hear of two failures—one in the Share Market, and
the other in the Foreign, but the extent of the mischief
in the latter will not be ascertained until tomorrow.

whole of the morning, and has been done for Money,
