ARRIVAL OF THE CAMBRIA.
LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY EVENING.

The British and North American Royal Mail
steam-ship Cambria, Captain Harrison, arrived here
this afternoon, with 46 passengers, 4,000/. in specie
on freight, and the semi. monthly mails from Canada
and the United States. The Cambria sailed from
New York on the 25th ult., and Halifax on the 28th.
Her news is therefore nine days later than that
brought by the Fidelia.
The United States steamer Herman, from New
York to Bremen, put into Halifax, with machinery
damaged, on the 28th ult. The Caledonia was at
Halifax on the 26th ult.

By the arrival of the Cambria we are in possession
of files of papers from New York, Philadelphia, Bal-
timore, Boston, Washington, Montreal, and Halifax,
which contain intelligence of much interest. Fol-
lowing the subjects in the order of their importance,
we shall first notice the effect produced by the Cam-
bria's news, which took out accounts of the French
Revolutiou.
The Cambria sailed from Liverpool for New York
on the 26th February, and carried out the first inti•
mation of the Revolution in France, the abdication of
Louis Philippe, and the formation of a republic in
that country. From a continued series of opposing
gales, her voyage was exceedingly protracted, and
she did not reach New York until the 18th, and no
sooner was it known that the Orleans dynasty
had fallen, the monarchy of France abruptly brought
to an end, and a Provisional Government declared,
than the utmost excitement prevailed all over the
city. Everywhere the intelligence was received
with symptoms of the most unbounded delight,
joy, and satisfaction, by all parties and all classes.
Public meetings of the most enthusiastic and ex-
citing character have been held in New York,
Philadelphia, and elsewhere, to congratulate the
French on their victory. It one of the
many assemblages convened for that purpose,
one held at New York was rather singular
fur its enthusiasm, and manifested an unusual
degree of zeal without discretion. A Colonel
Hart proposed to collect a large sum of money fur
the purpose of forwarding Republicanism in Ireland.
The gallant colonel said he would keep the in.iney
in America, and when the moment for action had
arrived, he would send it to Ireland in the shape of
brass cannon ! He proposed the collection of a
million of dollar s! ! and he was confident it would be
realised !I I The report says that " dollars were here
handed to the Chairman in great profusion, some
giving five, others three, and so on till over one hun
dred were collected I"

The news also created great sensation in Washing-
ton, and the matter had been mentioned in Congress.
Mr. J. D. Cummings, of Ohio, having asked leave to
introduce a resolution in the House of Representa
tives, expressive of sympathy with France in her
recent revolution in favour of a Republic, objections
having been made, leave was not granted. It is said
that the Cambria brings fresh instructions to the
Ministers in London and Paris, in order to meet the
new position of things in Europe.
PROCEEDINGS IN CONGRESS.—The Ten Regiments
Bill had at length passed the Senate. That body has
appointed a committee to investigate and ascertain
the means by which the treaty with Mexico and the
secret correspondence recently bee( me public in the,
newspapers. The first correspondence with Mr.
Buchanan and his department, in relation to the ne-
gotiation with Mexico, which ended in the recent
treaty between Mr. Trist and General Scott, and
both these gentlemen and the department, had been
laid before Congress and debated. It shows that
General Scott and Mr. Trist in the early part of
the negotiation entertained no great love or respect
for each other ; but that they had become sAorn
friends. The Senate had been for two days de-
bating the propriety of revealing the proceedings
of that body on the treaty with closed doors,
but had come to no conclusion. It was agreed
that an ambassador should be sent from Washington
to the Court of Rome, and General Shiels was named
for that office. General Cass had proposed in the
Senate to raise an additional force, in order to pre-
pare, if necessary, to force Mexico to accept the terms
of the treaty recently passed in that body. The
proceedings in the House of Representatives were un-
important.
MEXICAN AFFAIRS.—Later advices from Mexico
had been received at New York, from which we learn
that there had been more guerilla fighting, the cap-
ture of the noted chief Jaranta, and the successful
issue of every affair in which the American troops
had been engaged. Two Mexican schooners had
been captured loaded with cocoa and other merch,n-
dise. Their cargoes were valued at 16,000 dolls. In-
telligence has been received from Yucatan of some
horrible massacres.

GFNERAL Ns.ws.—The two great parties for the
Presidency had organized conventions to meet on the
24th of May and the 7th of June. Mr. Clay's pros-
pects were well spoken of. It is settled that Mr.
Van Buren would be brought forward, but had no
chance of success. The ship Oswego, Captain Gar-
rick, a new vessel, from Liverpool for New York,
with cargo and 327 passengers, had been totally lost
on the I2th of February, in long. 53.34 W. The
passengers were saved, but five of the crew and the
second officer were drowned.
CANIDA.—The reform party is growing rapidly
throughout the provinces. Under the new tariff grain
and flour were to be admitted into that country free
for exportation. A gold mine was said to have been
discovered near Quebec, Canada. Out of the eighteen
grand jurors for Montreal, ten make their mark—they
