AMMUCAN NEWS.

LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY.

We have further advices to-day from New York by a
packet from that port. By her we have received dates from
New York to the 3d February, being two days later than
those brought to us by the Britannia steamer. The frost con-
tinued to be intense, so much so, that several persons who
had been unfortunately benighted had perished before morn-
ing. New York was literally isolated—no mails had reached
from the south for six days, nor from Boston and eastward
for two at least. Persons could skate over to Long Island.
Steam navigation was •consequently put a stop to, and the
mails which were dispatched overland could not be reckoned
to accomplish the journey in less than treble the usual time.
At Boston the very greatest exertion had been made to enable
the steamer Britannia to leave the harbour; 400 men were
employed to cut the canal through the ice ; they began at
Fort Independence, and the first contractors gave up the
work in despair, and several of the men retired severely frost-
bitten. It was, however, again undertaken with more vigour
and success.

The latest accounts from New Orleans announce the death
of the Hon. Alexander Porter, senator of the State of
Louisiana, a man of talent and eminence. He was a native
of Ireland.

In the Senate, on the 30th, the debate on Mr. M'Duffie's
Revenue Bill was not progressed with. Mr. Evans expressed
a willingness to go on with the debate, but there was a very
general desire expressed among senators to go into Execu-
tive Session, and the matter was postponed till tha following
day; not, ,•;2.-..,;;vet-, U., .e Mr. M'lluffie had given notice
that he would change the character of the Bill, so as to ac-
commodate it to the views of those gentlemen who denied
the right of jurisdiction in it present form. He would
modify it as to make it a Bill to repeal the existing Wit/.
law. This modification, it is understood, will open the ~hole
subject of the tariff and the finances of the country :a dis-
cussion.
The Washington Correspondent of the Courier and En-
quirer remarks, that " The last speech of Mr. M'',uffie, the
closing part of which I did not hear, presents I,ew matter
for grave and serious consideration. The langulge used by
him should be placed before every man, so th,:t the whole
people can judge of the tone of feeling which obtains with
that class of politicians of which Mr. M'llutfie is the repre-
sentative, and also that the aims and objects of these men
may be rightly understood. • You will see by r-ft,rence to
the speech as reported, that Mr. M'lluft.,,. proposes,
a dissolution of the union, and a creation of . confede-
racies; one in the south-west, embracirr
States ; one in the north-west, embrac=e,, ;ae grait,-grcwing
States; and one in the nortit-east, r,„orakng the manufac-
turing States.' in this classif..,ation be does not regard
agricultural or manufactuTi!!6- labour as productive industry
—a distinction which ..von his philosophy must teach him to
be absurd." _

CANADA.—Mr. Buchanan, of Niagara, lately her Britannic
Majesty's Consul at New York, has addressed a letter to his
countrymen at work on the Welland Canal, imposing to meet
five married and five single men, as delegates from the Cork
men, at ten o'clock on the 18th inst., at Port Robinson, and
an equal number as delegates from the Onslaught men at
Thorold, at two o'clock, with a view to endeavour to recon-
cile the divisions between two factions.—Montreal Herald.
FROM TEXAS.—Late news is received ov Galveston papers
of the 10th inst. The differences betwednPresident Houston
and Congress were not adjusted. He had again declined to
communicate the Executive corresr)ndence with England,
but offers to lay it before the Speaker and Foreign Commit-
tee of the House, and intimates that other papers communi-
cated under the seal of secresy had been exposed. Ho has
also refused to comply with tae request to recal Charles II
Raymond, bearer of dispatoies to the United States. It is
