EXPRESS FROM LIVERPOOL.

THREE DAYS LATER FROM THE
UNITED STATES.

LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY MORNING, 3 P.M.
We have just received New York Papers
to the 20th of February, by the packet-ship
England. She arrived in the river late last night,
and we were promptly put in possession of our
Papers by Captain Waite, who has made the pas-
sage in eighteen days.
The United States Bank had presented a me-
morial to the Legislature of Pennsylvania, the
Prayer of which is, that whatever measures the
Legislature may see fit to adopt, the same course
inaY be pursued towards the United States Bank
as towards the other Philadelphia Banks. Theßill
for
suspending the Penalties of the Act of
last,, year for forty days was still before the House.
The shares of the Bank of the United States
84)W, as before, at ')6 in New York and 27 in
Philadel
phia.
The exchange on England for the packet was
granted at 108 to 1081, at which rate a fair,
autount of business had been transacted. The bills
of the United States Bank had been purchased
at
19. i to 15 per cent. discount. On France the
rate of exchange was 5 21.1 to 5 20.
The union of tile Canadas had been proclaimed
0111. the 10th ult., with great pomp and ceremony.
„Is Excellency the Governor-General imme-
wately issued a proclamation congratulating the
people Oil the event, and calling upon them to
"operate with him in making the measure be-
Ileticial for the country.
The news brought by the England is highly
141Portant. In the House of Representatives
the 16th ultimo the rules of the House
vere suspended as soon as tile House met,
t° enable Mr. Fillemore, of the Buffalo
district of New York, to introduce a resolu-
i") " instructing the Committee on Mili-
tary Aflairs to report a Bill for making the ne-
cessary appropriations for fortifications, naval ar-
ZaTnents, and other necessary preparations, to
6,ace the country in a proper state of defence."
"Jections were taken to the resolution, on ac-
count of its mandatory character, that the Com-
-'ttee be instructed to report a Bill ; and Mr.
tloPer, of Georgia, on that account, moved to
aY it on the table. Mr. Filiemore then, at the
suggestion of 1111i.11V members, modified his reso-
iuf:°ll) so as to direct the Committee " to in-
Zil're into the propriety of reporting a Bill,"
en:n This satisfied all parties, and the resolu-
tiWas unanimously adopted.
so 4311 the fifflowin., day a memorial was ppre-
sentedfrom about 100 citizens of Rome, in the
Csta:
,`e of New York, asking the interference of
f:ingress in behalf of the patriot prisoners
nell in Canada, and now under sentence at
sin-'+anY-bay. The memorial asked an expres-
4of the opinion of the people of the United
States through Congress, in relation to the
eatment of the prisoners. Mr. Norvel said
the memorial ought to be sent to the Ex-
e
:litive, and that, unless the country were pre-
'ire(' to go to war with England, Congress should
the opinion required. Mr. Preston
wllt
averse tv anyinterference in the domestic ar-
bgernents of foreign nations. He thought a war
,eltween England and America would be most
-aantitous in every respect to both, and the
people on both sides the frontier should reli-
gl°llslY refrain from any interference in the
eo
ileerng
or political relations of each other

le
memorial was ultimately laid on the table.
-`lle resolutions offered to the House of Repre-
sentatives of the State of Maine, on the subject
wrepelling what is styled " British aggression,"
a ere taken. up by the Senate on the 13th ult.,
ill ott, after having been amended by inserting
°O,OOO dollars anstead of 400,000 dollars for
13e defence of the State, were referred to the
th°llMary Committee. Mr. Davis then offered
e following resolution, which was referred to
the
Same Committee :
" Resolve
tr for repelling foreign invasion, and
°viding for the protection of the State.
/I" Be it resolved, That the President of the
tlite4 States be requested and urged to cause
the
immediate removal of the foreign armed
ilree by which our State is invaded, stationed
47,a the upper valley of the St. John's,
slt°. that the Government of the United
State s
be earnestly invoked to relieve this
i+..ate from the present heavy needless burden of
",,?Nvo defence."
4:,11e following resolutions were also offered
an referred to the same Committee :
in" Whereas the State of Maine is now suffer-
beg the disgrace of unresisted. British invasion,
it gun in 1839, repeated in 1840, and continued
l to this hour, in violation of the most solemn
stipulations and whereas we have no faith in
Chas efracaey of negotiations with a power which
so repeatedly disregarded its deliberate
pleases, and believe that further forbearance on
ho' Part to assert the rights and vindicate the
Ivii ti, °llr ()four State will prove as unavailing- as it
certainly prove Inuniliating—Therefore
‘`
Itesolved, That the Governor be authorized
take inankediate measures to remove the troops
the Queen of Great Britain, now quartered on
vthe territory called disputed by the British Go-
:In-lent, but by the treaty of 1783, by the reso-
lutl.a°l's of both Houses of Congress passed in
4iand by repeated resolves of the Legislature
ri Maine, clearly and unequivocally a part of the
Rntful soil of this State."
