AMERICA.

LIVERPOOL, MONDAY.
The Cunard mail steamship Canada, Capt. Muir,
has arrived with advices from Boston to the 11th,

New York (by telegraph) to the 12th, and Halifax

to the 13th.
The Cunard steamship Africa, hence; the steam-
ship Bavaria, from Hamburg; the steamship Hansa,
from Southampton; and the steamer City of New
York, hence, had arrived out.
The steamer Europa had not arrived out when the
Canada left. This vessel, which left Queenstown
on the 2d inst., conveyed the important despatches

of the British Government to Lord Lyons respecting
the capture of the Confederate Commiasioucrs on
board the Trent.

In the Senate on the 9th, Mr. Grimed presented
a petition from a citizen of lowa, who has invented

a "rebel mowing machine or double acting bomb,"

to which he wished to call the special attention of

the Chairman of the Committee on Military Affairs.
On the motion of Mr. Chandler, the resolution in-

quiring into the causes of the disasters tothe Federal
army at Bull's Run and Ball's Bluff was taken up.
The question was on the substitute offered by Mr.
Grimes, "that a committee investigate the causes
of all the disapters that have happened to the Union
forces." After a debate the resolution was adopted

by 33 to 3. No business of importance was transacted

on the 10th.

It was currently reported at Washington that
the Military Committee of the house favoured the
treatment of privateers captured by Federal vessels

as prisoners of war.
In the House of Representatives on the 9th Mr.
Richardson, from the Committee on Military Affairs,
reported the following, which was passed :
" Whereas the exchange of prisoners in the pre-
sent rebellion has already been practised indirectly,
and as such exchange would not only increase en-
listments and the vigour of our army, but subserve
the highest interests of humanity, and as such ex-

change does not involve recognition of the rebels as
a Government, therefore resolved by the Senate and
House of Representatives, &c., that the President

of the United States be requested to inaugurate
systematic measures for the exchange of prisoners
in the present rebellion."

On motion it was resolved that the Committee on
Foreign Affairs be instructed to inquire into the
expediency of furnishing relief to the starving
population of Ireland, and to report by bill or other-
wise.

Mr. Wickliffe, from the Committee on Military
Affairs, reported a bill authorising the raising of a
Volunteer force for the better defence of Kentucky.

Mr. Lovejoy introduced the following preamble
and resolution :

" Whereas Major-General Halleck, of the Western
Department, has issued an order prohibiting negroes
from coming within the lines of our army, and ex-
cluding those already under the protection of our
troops; and whereas a different policy and practice
prevails in other departments by the direct sanc-
tion of the Administration, and whereas said order
is cruel and inhuman, and in the judgment of this
house based upon no military necessity; therefore
resolved that the President be respectfully requested
to direct General Halleck to recall said order or
cause it to conform to the practice in other depart-
ments of the army."
Mr. Cox moved to lay the resolution on the table,
which was disagreed to by a vote of yeas, 63 ; nays,
68.

Mr. Lansing offered a snbstitute,which Mr. Love-
joy accepted. The substitute characterises the order
of Major-General Halleck as inhuman and cruel,
and respectfully requests the President to direct
Gen. Halleck to recall the said order and cause

him (Halleck) to conform to the practice in the
other departments of the army. The consideration
of the subject was then postponed.
On the 10th Mr. Pendleton, of Ohio, moved that
the memorial of Messrs. Howard, Getchell, and
Davis be referred back to the Committee on Judi-
ciary, with instructions declaring that Congress
alone has power under the constitution to suspend
the writ of habeas•corpus ; that the exercise of that
