AMERICA.

LIVERPOOL, MAY 25.

The Canadian mail steamer, North Briton, Capt.
Borland, from Quebec on the 12th inst., arrived in
the Mersey a few minutes before 12 o'clock last
night. Her news has been generally anticipated
by telegragh. We append, however, a few addi-
tional items.

The Washington correspondent of the New York
Times says:—
" ThelS tate Department is in receipt of important
news from Mexico, to the effect that Miramon's
power is broken, if not entirely gone. It is now de-
termined by the Administration to urge action on
the Mexican treaty, and to take it with the pro-
posed amendment.
" Lord Lyons has received no instructions from
his Government touching the English policy in
Mexico.

" Secretary Cobb is violently opposed to any
change in the tariff, and is active in his efforts to
defeat the bill under consideration. He regards
frequent change in the tariff as a great curse to our
revenue system. The Senate will certainly reject
any bill presented. The Republicans are much
divided in sentiment on the details of the bill. It is
believed that the present discussion will continue a
week longer."
The United States frigate Roanoke, with the
Embassy despatched by the Court of Jeddo to
Washington, arrived at Sandy Hook on the 9th inst.
Her commander was then intercepted by despatches.
from the Navy Department, directing him to pro-
ceed to Hampton Roads, Virginia, where a vessel
would be in readiness to receive his illustrious pas-
sengers and convey them to their destination. The
Japanese party appears to be equally gratified with
the courtesy and respect with which it is treated
and with the novelty of its position. The landing
at Panama, that marvellous business of passing by
rail across the isthmus, the ceremonious reception
on board the Roanoke, and the hospitality prepared
for them there, have been alike objects of satis-
faction and gratitude. The officers express them-
selves as greatly pleased with the strangers, whose
manners are the perfection of politeness and dignity
A Boston despatch reports that the brig George
WW. J out,, of Salem, was seized on thp lath Feb.
on the Rio Pongo, by ritish frigate Arrogant,
as a slaver. The British Commodore sent the brig
back after seeing her papers.
Vera Cruz advices are to the Ist of May.
The constitutional Government rejects the pro-
posed mediation. Miramon's party was defeated on
all sides, and his money was exhausted. Carvajal
is organising an expedition to attack Puebla.
It was reported that Minister M'Lane had gone
into the interior for an interview with Miramon.
Gabriac, the French Minister, had been recalled.
