AMERICAN NEWS.

LIVERPOOL, TI/CRSDAY.
The packet-ship Rochester, Captain Britton, has arrived
from New York, bringing us intelligence to the very late date
of the evening of the 21st.
_ .

By the Rochester we have news of the effect produced in
America by the outward arrival of the steamer Cambria.
Her arrival was looked for with much anxiety ; vessel,' had
been chartered by the New York newspapers to cruise fr
vessels from Europe, and at the time of the Cambria rev'','.
ing no news from England had been received for thirty-atle
days, and her advices extended over that unusually long
,
period of time. In order to convey an idea of the interekt
excited for this vessel's arrival
we ma mention that the
York papers had expresses from Halifax to New York
y
at an expense of three thousand dollars. It was the stet
attempt ever made to run the news overland from this Pe
.
first port at which the steamer touches. The Cambria dali
not beat the expresses, and was prevented being the herald
into Boston of the intelligence Ora had conveyed across the
Atlantic. •

Our news by the Rochester is of great interest, as coffer
ing the feelings of the American nation on the great ineas,r4e,
of free-trade proposed by Sir Robert Peel, full details of Wri'lls
were taken out by the Cambria. All the papers hail i!re,
the greatest blessing, and more especially as tending t° leems
on a peaceful settlement of the Oregon question. War ise-e,si-
to be scouted as a thing not to be dreamt of, and Mr. s'rd
dent Polk and his crew are regularly pitched overbe3rperly
the joyous outburst of feeling consequent on such an ;tee
prospect of commercial union between the two cone f
distance
The Cambria's news reached New York on the inorninVit
the 19th, and was printed in evens° by the papers a see
day. From the tenor of our private advices it would seen
as though the Now Yorkers looked on Mr. Polk and his era
talk as mere secondary considerations
determined to take the settlement 'Of Oregon and °t.
differences into their own hands. Everything was lost sig
of in Sir Robert Peel's free-trade measure.
and as if the}' sch r

On the arrival at New York of the Cambria's disea-csee
the New York Express, in giving vent to its satisfactois
delight, thus opened the ball :ed
" The news from Europe received by the steamer is bares,
by all classes as most pacific and favourable, The ,e%err
sion of the Queen in her Speech in Parliament, and
Peel's remarks in the House a-e so decidedly friendly, 'Ali
all possibility of war from the other side is at an ee'ereat
the belligerent spirit is manifested here, and none by "'
Britain. acct
" The news had an instant effect to carry up stu"- err
to give life and animation to everything. All was co''llo
tulation that the tone is so different in England from
we e
recive from Washington.
" It is believed by all that this intelligence will have,mill
cided influence in Congress, and that the measures that t time
be adopted in the Senate will be of a character to Mee
feeling manifested in Great Britain." r, ;►
The Conzmereial Adrertiser thus instantly wades`

We have only room to say that, as a whole and t•
