AiNIERICAN NEWS.
ARRIVAL OF THE CANADA.
LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY MORNING.
By the Royal Mail steam-ship Canada, Harrison
commander, we have received advices and letters from
New York to the 2d inst., Boston to the 31, and tele-
graphic accounts from New York, via Halifax, to the
evening of the 4th inst. She has 230,000 dollars in
specie. on freight.
The Canada sailed from Boston at 12.45 P.M. on
the 3.1 inst., passed the Royal Sail steamship
America for Boston (with tho mails of the 23d ult.)
at 3 A.M. on the 4th, and at 240 A.M. on the sth
arrived at Halifax. After receiving the mails she
cleared from Halifax at 4.20 A.M. on the sth, and at
7.30 P.M. of same day exchanged night signals with
a large steamer bound west (probably the United
States' steamer Franklin, from Havre); on the 10th,
at 9 A.M., passed the Royal Mail steam-ship Europa,
with the mails of the 6th inst. for Boston; at 11.45
P.M. on the 12th passed Tory Island Light; and cast
anchor in a dense fog off the Rock Light at 10.27
P.M. on Saturday, after a detention of 2 hours and 50
minutes at the bar, waiting for water. She has thus
made the run (merely deducting the detention, but
without making allowance for the detour) in the brief
space of 10 days and 32 minutes, mean time.
The United States mail steam-ship Atlantic, West,
commander, with mails of the 20th ult., arrived at
New York at 5.30 A.M. on the Ist inst., after a run of

11 days 19 hours and 15 minutes, mean time.
The screw steam-ship City of Glasgow, Leitch,
commander, which sailed from Liverpool on the 13th
ult., arrived at Philadelphia on the 30th ult., after a
run of about 17 days.
Great excitement still prevailed throughout the
large cities of the United States in reference to the
Cuban invasion. Meetings have been daily held, and
resolutions adopted, denouncing the proceedings of
the Spaniards. Several of the New Orleans rioters
had been arrested and committed to prison. The
New Orleans Picayune states that the Cuban Libera-
tors have given the direction of affairs to General Felix
Houston, who takes care not to violate the law of the
country.
It is asserted that another and very formidable ex-
pedition is fitting out from various points, and that
another descent will shortly be made. Another state-
ment, published in the Washington Telegraph, says
that arrangements are in progress to land 5,000 men
shortly under distinguished leaders. It also says it
could give details if politic to do so. Several Hunga-
rians have left Montgomery, Alabama, for the purpose
of joining Lopez.
Letters received in New Orleans from the Cuban
invaders who were taken prisoners, written a short
time previous to their execution, are unanimous in
stating that Lopez had deceived them. The following
passage is from one of the letters :
" Lopez, the scoundrel, has deceived us; there is
no doubt that all the reports about the Cuban rising
were trumped up in New Orleans."
From Havannah we have received advices to the
23d ult., five days latter than those last received.. The
account of the capture of Lopez and his followers is
not confirmed ; but, on the contrary, it is asserted
that he has been successful in all his engagements.
We extract the following from the New Fork Herald
under date—

" SAVANNAH, SEPT. 1.
" The schooner Merchant arrived here to-day,
having left Havannah on the 23d of August.
" We learn that General Lopez has been successful
in every engagement he has had with the Spanish

troops.
" In a battle on the 17th, General Enna, Com-
mander-in-Chief of the Spanish army, was killed.
" Several other Spanish officers, and a large num-
ber of men, were also slain.
" The force of General Lopez amounted to from
1,500 to 2,000 men.
" Lopez was daily receiving reinforcements, and
was marching toward Havannah.
" General Enna was buried with much pomp in
Havannah, on the 20:11.
There was great excitement and much apprehen-
sion in Havannah, there being only 700 troops in the
city."
Accounts published in the New Orleans Picayune,
in reference to the capture of Colonel Crittenden's
party, state that—
" Colonel Crittenden and 114 men were left at
Bahia Honda by Lopez, in charge of the baggage,
while Lopez himself advanced to Las Pozas. On
the next day 700 Spaniards landed from the Pizarro
and cut off Crittenden from his companions. Colonel
ICrittenden made one attempt to join his comrades,
but was repulsed. The Spaniards afterwards made
a charge and completely routed Crittenden's little
party, who spent two days and nights in the chap-
parell without any sustenance. Fifty of them after-
wards made their way to the seashore, where they
found some boats, in which they embarked. They
spent the night on the ocean, and the next day they
were taken prisoners by the Habanero, as detailed
in previous reports. There are still sixty-four of this
party missing. Forty of them are known to have
been shot in a small farmhouse, and a Spanish Lieu-
tenant reports that on the 14th he came upon twenty
of them, guarding an equal number of their wounded
comrades, all of whom were massacred. It was re-
ported—also on Spanish authority—that the remain-
ing twenty-four were afterwards slaughtered. The
other party under Lopez, it seems, received the
attack of the Spaniards in a farmhouse at Las Pozas,
and beat them off with severe loss ; at least, so it
is to be supposed, since the Spanish official reports
state that they desisted from the assault in order
to receive reinforcements. Whether any subsequent
fighting took place at this point we do not know ;
at all events, Lopez held his own for two days—till,
on the 15th, he left for the interior, and was not mo-
lested on his march by General Enna; all of which
we learn froth the Spanish accounts. This was the
state of affairs on the 15th, the date of our last ad-
vices from the scene of action, through General
Enna's dispatch dated 3.30 on that day. If General
Lopez reached the mountains in safety be will dis-
cover soon whether he has relied with too much con-
fidence on the assistance of the native inhabitants."
More recent telegraphic advices from New Or-
leans contain the following intelligence from Cuba :
" NEW ORLEANS, SErr. 1.
"The brig Cincinnati has just arrived with advices
from Ilavannala to the 25th of August.

" Spanish accounts state that- Lopez was sur-
rounded by 4,000 of the Government forces. Other
rumours aro that he is joined by large numbers, and
hes advanced to Mariel, only 30 miles from Ha
vannah.

"SEPT, 2.

"The steamer Cincinnati has arrived from Haven.
nah with dates to the 25th ult. The accounts vi
Havannah are confirmed, including the death of
General Enna, with considerable loss to the Spanish
troops, and the advance of Lopez towards Havannah.
" The Cincinnati passed the Spanish war steamer
Pizarro at sea."
From Canada we have nothing of importance. The
Canadian Parliament closed its session on the 30th
ult.
A man named Graham was robbed and murdered
near Saratoga, on Saturday, for the sake of about 100
dollars in money. Mr. Naar, son of Judge Naar,
was drowned at Elizabeth Town on Saturday. The
Belize Watchman, just received from New Orleans,
says that—
" A Spaniard named Pedro Vargas was brought
into the town by four other Spaniards, on the night
of Friday, the 13th inst., heavily chained, and lodged
in the police.station, charged with the murder of two
Spaniards, named Jose Fermin Sosa and Tornasa
Torres, at Rowley's Bight, on the morning of the
previous Wednesday, under circumstances of the
greatest atrocity. It is alleged that at about the
dawn of morning of that day the prisoner went into
the house where Sosa and Torres resided with the
daughter of the woman, a girl of fourteen or fifteen
years of age, lind deliberately chopped first the man
and then the woman, who were asleep in different
hammocks, with a hatchet, in several places. The girl,
who hod awoke whilst the prisoner was engaged in the
work of butchery, escaped out of the house, and ran
down to the watar side, where she got into a dorey,
and paddled to the house of a neighbour, not far off,
to whom she told what had happened, who hastened
with assistance to the mutilated victims. The vil-
lain from whom she had escaped came to the water's
edge after she had put off, and shouted to her
to return and get her share. It is supposed that he
then made off. The motive of the deed is supposed
to have been either revenge on the man and woman
who had refused to give him the girl to cohabit with,
or a determination to possess himself forcibly of the
person of the last. The prisoner was apprehended
on the day of the deed in Northern River Pine
Ridge."
The Florence (Alabama) Gazette has the fol-
lowing:—
"Oa last Saturday, near Waterloo, in this county,
a most daring and cold-blooded murder was committed
upon the person of David N. Martin, Esq., one of our
most respectable citizens, and for the last fifteen years
a devoted pious member of the Methodist Church.
Between one and two o'clock in the afternoon he was
engaged in the sowing of turnip seed, within fifty
yards of his own door, and two of his sons ploughing
near him, when he was shot by some person sup-
posed to have been concealed behind a large stump.
The hall entered below the right shoulder-blade, and
came oat under the right nipple. The deceased lin-
gered in great pain till Monday evening, and died at
two o'clock.
" Suspicion fell immediately upon Robert R. Cha-
ney. lie was arrested, and implicated by his state-
ments a negro man belonging to his father-in-law,
John Price. His brother, David B. Chaney, and the
negro were likewise arrested, and after a long and te-

dious examination before four magistrates, the boy was
committed for the murder, and the Chaneys as acces-
sories before the fact, all without bail."

We have advices from Hayti to the 16th ult., at
which time e‘er. thing was quiet. An express had
arrived at Port au Prince on the 15th ult., stating
that the Emperor had returned to Hayti from his
tour, having crossed the Dominican frontier without
being molested ; and it was reported that the difficulty
between the Dominican and Haytian Governments
had been amicably settled. Coffee was scarce, and
logwood had advanced to 40 dolls, per hundred.
Accounts from St. Thomas to the 21st ult. are de-
void of interest.
Our advices from the city of Mexico extend to the
16th ult. The Legislature was to assemble on the
20th. The Senate had declared in favour of a
general confederation, similar to the Spanish South
American States. A disturbance took place at Vera
Cruz on the 21st, when the citizens rose to oppose the
collection of taxes by the Government. The military
were called out, and several persons were killed and
wounded before the disturbance was quelled. The
two vessels which recently sailed from New Orleans,
under protest, for Tehuantepec, have been seized by
the Mexican authorities at Coatzacoalcos. Great dis-
tress is prevailing in Nortitern Mexico. The crops
have failed, and the stock is perishing for want of
water and pasture. The Indians are ravaging the
country. The Brownsville (Texas) papers say that
the Mexican Government are prosecuting several
senators, and that some have been fined and others
imprisoned.
Texas accounts of the 27th ult. state that the
Indians have perpetrated more depredations and com-
mitted several murders. They had also broken into
and robbed the point Isabel Custom-house of 10,000
dollars.

(Via Telegraph from New York to Halifax.)
NEW YORK, SEPT. 4, r M.

Semi-official accounts received from Washington
state that the Government possess information that
on the 25th of August Lopez had been able to main-
tain himself, and with a very reduced force ; not one
Creole had joined him • his prospects were desperate.
It is a personal struggle for his own and the lives of
his few remaining followers. No reinforcements
have gone from New Orleans, and the Government
is successfully exerting itself to prevent any. The
Collector of Customs at New Orleans has been re-
moved from office for alleged indifference in Cuban
matters.

California accounts to the Ist of August arrived
here today. Mining statements continue favourable;
business is reported better. The steamer Oregon,
from San Francisco to Panama, has upwards of
2,000,000 dolls. in dust on board.
Stock market to-day very dull. Steamer Ame-
rica's news was received here yesterday; its effect
has been to advance cotton about a quarter of a cent.
In flour and grain no change of consequence.
