AMERICA.

[A summary of the following appeared in our impression
of yesterday :—]
LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY MORNING.
The United States mail steamship Columbia,
Bailey commander, with advices from New York
to the 18111 inst., 100,000 dols. in specie on freight,
and 44 passengers, arrived here this morning. On
the 20th iust., in lat. 40.30, long. 55, a French
frig its was perceived, steering north-west.
The Royal mail steamship America, hence, ar-
rived at Boston on the 17th. Sh• had been detained
for some hours by a thick fog.
There is yea), little news of general interest by
this arrival.

Under date of Washington, July 17, the New
York Herald publishes the following :
" The President received a telegraphic despatoh this
morning, dated at Leavenworth yesterday, from Gover-
nor Walker, stating that a serious insurrection had
broken out at Lawrence, and that he bad called out
the United States' troops to suppress it. The Goner
nor had started immediately for Lawrence. The
cause of the outbreak is not known, but it is supposed
to have originated from opposition to some of the terri-
torial laws—probably the tax !ay. The receipt of this
news has caused some little excitement in certain guar•

tern. The Cabinet were in session until a late hour this
evening, and I doubt not this subject was prominently
before them."

Athricei from St. Lcuis of the 17th state that

the Democrat has arivices from Kansas, announc-
ing that Governor Walker had issued a proulama-
ton declaring hi; intention to put down all opposi-
tion► to the territorial laws bJ force, and censuring
the citizens of Lawrence, and warning them not to
organise under the Tol)eka charter. Seven hundred
troops are rumoured to have been ordered to march
against Lawrence, and Walker is said to have a
dei!grr to retain the army in Kansas, and to break
up the Utah expedidon. It is stated that the
S. ctetary of War contemplates sending Colonel
Johnson, now in Texas, to Utah, instead of Gene-
ral Barney. The change is said to be necessary.
owing to the troubles that are apprehended in Kan-
sas in case he should leave the territory.
The .New York herald's Washington correspon-
dent writes that—
" Advice have been received here from Costa Rica via
Panama, which f:tate that President Mora had declared
the grant of ;the Nicaragua transit route, c mceded by
that republic and Nicaragua jointly to Mr. Webster
to have lapsed from a non-compliance with its conditions
by the grantee. The lapse was occasioned by the non-pay-
ment of the stipulated half million dollars on or before
the let June. It has been determined that as soon as
the new Government of Nicaragua should be consoli
dated the two Republics will send Commissioners to
the country to negotiate a sale of the grant, and the
immediate opening of interoceanic communication by it."
The President made the following appointments

the United States' Government in reference to
Ayes Island claim, is contradicted.

of modesty and good feeling. Alludinc, to the in-
vitation which had been given to him he said,—
" He not only recognised the hospitality of the nation,
which was always bestowed before it was deserved, but
a manifestation of that affection for England which was
kindled in the recesses of the American heart, and which
was ever bursting forth in some act of cogftesy and as-
sistance. He saw in the reception, too, firth@ language
of the President, and their response, a sign of respect for
her Majesty the Queen--for the ancient crown which
was so gently and so wisely worn."
