UNITED STATES.
LIVERPOOL, THURSDAY NIGHT.

We have an arrival at this port from the United
States to-day, bringing one day's later news. The
packet ship Yorkshire, Captain Bailey, left New
York on the evening of the 16th ult.' and notwith-
standing a prevalence of easterly winds during two-
thirds of her voyage, crossed the Atlantic in 16 days
from the time of her leaving her pilot at New York,
and taking the one at Liverpool. Her run from Cape
Clear was done in twenty-six hours. This is only
another instance of the extraordinary performances
of this new and excellent ship, which, under her able
commander, has made some of the fastest passages on
record.

The news conveyed by this arrival is unimportant.
YELLOW FEVER IN NEW ORLEANS.—We are sorry
to see symptoms of the return in earnest of this an-
nual scourge to our sister city. The New Orleans
papers mention the occurrence of undoubted cases.
The Picayune of the 4th instant, says—There was
one case of yellow fever yesterday in the Cha-
rity Hospital. This, we velieve, is the first case in
that institution this season.

There was no change in the position of the two
great political parties contesting the next Presidential
election.

FROM WASHINGTON.—The Richmond Enquirer is let-
ting out some of the secrets of the late Cabinet meetings
at Washington, giving to those meetings, of course, much
more importance than they merit. The correspondent
of the Enquirer says that— . . .

" These proceedings were caused, it is said, by recent
information received at Washington, going to show, in a
manner not to be mistaken, that England is stimulating
Mexico to renew her war upon Texas ; and that Santa
Anna has succeeded in effecting the $4,000,000 loan,
partly through British agency. That the Mexican Mi-
nister at London wrote by the steamer to the Mexican
Admiral commanding the two steam-ships at New York,
instructing him to sail immediately, if they were re-
paired, to Vera Cruz, where he would be met by an-
other steamer from London with stores and amunition ;
if they were not repaired, he must proceed immediately
to Mexico with dispatches. Hetherefore proceeded imme-
diately by land to New Orleans. One of the steamers is
repaired, the other will be in about two weeks. A
reason for this haste, says the Enquirer, is, that the ex-
pedition must be pressed so as to accomplish the invasion
before the meeting of the Congress of the United States.
It is known that the troops for the invasion of Texas are
in a state of organization.
" In consequence of this state of things, the Enquirer
says A question has been presented to the Cabinet at
Washington—what steps should they immediately adopt?
Whether they shouldconvene an extra session of Congress ?
Whether they should quietly permit the invasion of Texas,
assisted, too, by the instrumentality of England, to proceed
without the slightest interposition on our part ?
Whether they should remonstrate with Mexico against
the course she is pursuing, under the influence of the
British Cabinet ? Whether they should fold their arms
and suff,r the fields of Texas again to be drenched with
the blood of her citizens?—or whether they should inter-
pose the shield of the United States ? And whether
they would call an Extra Session of Congress, to advise
and regulate the action of the Executive power ? It
is now said that the Cabinet has been mach divided
upon this last proposition ; and, finally, it is determined
for the present to have no extra Congress. A messenger
has, within a day or two, been dispatched to Mexico,
with a strong remonstrance upon the course she is
pursuing.'
" This remonstrance, if true, under all the circum-
stances, would be the most imprudent thing the Go
verament has attempted. But the story as to England
is all moonshine."
