AMERICAN NEWS.

ARRIVAL OF THE ASIA.

LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY NIGHT.
The British and North American Royal Mail
steam-ship Asia, Captain Judkins, has just arrived in
the Mersey, from New York, which port she left on
the 7th instant, with a freight of specie to the extent
of 85,0001., 144 passengers, and one week's later ad-
vice and mails.

The Asia spoke the Europa steam-ship (which left
this port on the 26th ult.) when within six hours' sail
of New York. She also passed the new steam-ship
Humboldt, bound from New York to Havre at 8.30
P.M , on the 12th inst.
The chief feature of the week's news from the
United States is the supposed progress of the Cuba
invading organization. A letter from Savannah
says—" Within a few days two brass field pieces,
and other munitions, have arrived here, and have
been sent southward, doubtless for the gathering
expedition. It is said that there have been several
companies organised in the interior, who have
drawn their quota of State arms. There are several
rendezvous established, and although the men col-
lected are not numerous, there is a wide-spread sym-
pathy in their movements. It may be that similar
movements are going en in the Gulf, and that several
small expeditions, starting from different points, will
concentrate. The inlets, fine harbours, and sheltered
islands on our coast, afford ample opportunity to send
off expeditions, and unless the general Government
acts more efficiently and promptly than they appear to
be doing, they will be too late, as the time of descent
cannot be distant."

At Jacksonville, Florida, a company of desperadoes
were making preparation, and a steamer was hourly

on the Sattella river, where some 1,500 Georgians
were to meet them. The general rendezvous was at
Key West, where from 10,000 to 15,000 men were
being concentrated.

Aletter from Jacksonville (Florida), of the 29th
ult:, says—
" A very great and unhealthy excitement exists
here; the town is full of recruits, and others are en-
camped in the vicinity, waiting hourly notice of depar-
ture. Gonzales is here, and the reason of the delay is
not generally understood. The ladies have worked
pretty banners of red, blue, and white, in stripes, with a
single blue star in the white ground.
" The plans seem to be wisely made in many respects,
several distinguished names are mentioned of those who
have filled prominent situations in the Southern States.
The Judge and District Attorney were persuaded a week
ago to take an excursion to the wilderness, and are now

graph wires are cut northward, and the whole seems to
be so arranged as to ensure success with regard to effect-
ing a landing, unless intercepted ncar the mouth of the
St. John's River.

" These 'Emigrants,' as they call; themselves, regard
themselves as outlaws, claiming no protection from the
United States, as citizens, as soon as they sail from our
shores."
