AMERICAN NEWS.

LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY.
The packet-ship Rochester, arrived in the river, brings
advices from New York, of the 22d ult. inclusive.
We subjoin extracts:—
FROM THE ARMY OF THE LEFT.
Baltimore, Wednesday Evening.
We learn from the Delta, of New Orleans, of the 14th
instant, that there is a rumour of another attack on the
American army by the Mexicans. The Mexicans have
been again defeated. The western mail contains no news
of importance. We have no local news worth men-
tioning. Our merchants are waiting with great anxiety
for advices by the steamers ; meanwhile, all operations
in flour and grain are at a stand.
FROM THE ARMY OF THE RIGHT.
Dr. Craig brings dispatches from SantaFe to St. Louis,
for Government. He left Mazatlan on the Ist of June,
Chihuahua on the 15th of July, and Santa F 6 on the 6th
of Sept. General Kearney, with 1,000 men, left Santa
F 6 on the 3d for the settlements below on the Rio
Grande, intending to erect' a fortification at Socorro,
also to visit Albuquerque, 75 miles below Santa Fe, the
residence of ex-Governor Armijo, whose " whereabouts"
is unknown. General Kearney was to be absent about
20 days. The murder of Armijo is contradicted.
About 380 men, with their horses and cattle, were
ordered to the Calestello-creek, 15 or 20 miles below
Santa Fe. General Kearney was erecting a fort on an
eminence to the north-east of Santa Fe, to command
the whole. The Mexicans are becoming much attached
to him, as he promised them protection from the Indians.
They are quite pleased with our government of them.
On the arrival of Colonel Price's regiment and the bat-
talion of Mormons, General Kearney would set out for
California. Monterey is to be the place of destination, a
distance of 1,200 miles. The Arkansas river for the
whole route was dry.
The Caledonia's advices reached New York on the
evening of the 21st ult. only, and consequently we are
still unadvised of the effect upon the prices of grain.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
(From the New York Sun.)
NEW YORE, OCT. 21.-Money continues easy, and
there were larger sums than usual offering in the street
to-day, at the moderate rates current for some time past.
Business is good, but not very active.
The receipt of flour at this port from all places, from
the Ist of January to October 13th, were 1,599,584
barrels against 1,153,874, for the same period of last
