ARRIVAL OF TUE 1-lIBEHNIA.
LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY.

1 AI

turived in th,

:Mersey,

TIOOII,

with the, Usual mails froin Canada end Ll)lted

States.

The advices brought by this arrival are of an im-
portant character, and disclose the gratifying • fact
that the American Cabinet had offered negotiations
to Mexico for the restoration of peace and the settle-
ment of all questions at issue between._ the two
countries. In announcing this intelligence to
Congress, the President solicited an appropriation
of 2,000,000 dollars, to be used at his discretion in
aiding the negotiation. The application, however,
failed.
The intelligence received from the Rio Grande
extends to the close of July. Little active pro-
,,,ress had been made in the war. The army on
the banks of the Del Ntirte numbered about
17,000 men, and was stadily, but slowly advancing
linto the interior. Camargo was the farthest point
yet reached by the troops, though preparations
continued for a march against Monterey. General
'Taylor was expected to move forward about the sth
of August. Vera Cruz accounts are to the 17th of
July. Paredes had not left the city of Mexico, and
could not raise a body of 5,000 men to follow him.
Brigadier Kearney was advancing en route with great
rapidity, and according to late accounts from New
Mexico, there then existed no force capable of com-
petent resistance within that department. The levy
of Mormons effected by Captain Allen had reached
Fort Leavenworth. The Comanchee Indians were
carrying on terrible ravages on the Mexican fron-
tiers. The advices from the coast of Mexico are un-
important. Nothing of a belligerent character had
occurred.

i'ne domestic affairs of the Union are important.
Congress adjourned, as appointed, on the 10th inst.
The Sub-Treasury Bill had passed, with a provision
that it should go into operation on the Ist of January.
The Warehousing Bill had also become law, and like-
wise an important Bill, calculated to secure to the
United States the foreign transit trade to Canada.
We subjoin commercial accounts. The potato rot, it
appears, threatened to prove disastrous to the crop.
-imp-it- accounts have come to hand from St: Johns,
New Brunswick.
Our advices from Canada are unimportant. A
large meeting for the purpose of inciting the enter-
prise of the citizens of Montreal to the improvement
of their commercial position by means of the St.
Lawrence Railway had been held in Montreal. A
Quebec letter, dated August 5, states that the ship
Elizabeth and Sarah had arrived off the. city from
Killala, after having lost no less than 44 of her pas-
sengers, with the captain ; the ship, accordiri to the
statement, having been supplied with putrid water.
Laprarie had suffered from an extensive and disas-
trous conflagration. _
Advises from Havannah extend to the 9th inst
The Washington Union publishes the following :
" By the English war-steamer Vesuvius, from Vera
Cruz, and bound to Bermuda, for the Ivalth of h.,r crew,
touching here for coal, we are informed that the Raritan
had sailed for Pensacola, with near 300 sick, from the
American squadron ; the diseases, scurvy and the
yellow fever ; the last of which prevails to a great ex-
tent in the city and harbour of Vera Cruz. The Vesu-
vina had lost both engineers from yellow fever, and had
many of her crew sick."
From Callao, May 8, we learn that some slight
distutbance had taken place between the Americans
and Peruvians. The discord was promptly quelled,
\ however, by Commander Stockton. •
The steam-ship Great Western arrived out at New
York in 15 days on the 10th inst. She may he ex-
pected on her return in a few days.
The steam-ship Caledonia arrived out at Halifax in
11 days.
