AMERICAN NEWS.

ARRIVAL OF THE BRITANNIA.

(PRO3I OUR LIVERPOOL CORRESPONDENT.)
LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY EVENING.
1.13_3'. the steam-ship Britannia, Captain Hewitt. we
17:e3ust procured American papers to the 16th. They
I.u.rut us of the arrival at Halifax of t.',e Cambria, which
lat.l.!d from Liverpool on the 4th of July.
The news by this arrival is not of great importance.
The Tariff Bill, in the adoption of which the British
ereial and manufacturing community have a deep
unrest, has passed the House, but is still under dis-
tifollunim the Senate. It is thought by many well-in-
luicti persons that this body will be equally divided
u_
the vote, and the ultimate decision will thus rest
arch 111% Vice-President Dallas, in whose favour, a1t.7.1
t.7.1 from a strong Protective Tariff State and at-
dto that policy by all his personal interests, its
flts_ntis have little confidence.
41r. Webster had given notice of his intention to
deak
„_ upon the subject; and it is said that he will intro-
tj: certain important amendments, or an entire substi-
, ior the present Bill, which, it is thought, may re-
co'lve the support of some of the democratic Senators. Of
th
character of these amendments nothing is yet pub-
-1101,I" known. We give below in extenso the Tariff Bill
tinder debate.

cottntry remains without change since our last I%l:larks,
by th,., steamer, of the Ist. The campaign against
41exico has made no perceptible progress, although pre-
tarations for its vigorous prosecutions are constantly
eping on. An expedition in considerable force is destined

'lltest on its shores. Meantime steam-vessels, and other
vessels of light draught of water, are dispatched to the Rio
Grande, in order to accompany the march of the army
General Taylor along its banks to Reynosa and Ca-
"argo—the latter of which will, it is presumed, like the
"flier, capitulate upon his approach. The good con-
duct and honest dealing of the invaders, who pay for all

contrasts favourably with the preceding rule, or rather
want of rule, of the Mexicans in the country around the
