LATER FROM AMERICA.

LIVERPOOL, MONDAY MORNING. - The fast-sailing
ship Sea, Captain Edwards, arrived at our port this
morning from New York, whence she sailed on the 26th
ultimo, bringing nine days' later intelligence from the
United States.

The rumours of an intended invasion of Texas by
10,000 Mexicans is in a great degree confirmed by this
arrival ; the troops were actually on their route, which
is said to be a circuitous one, insomuch that they will
not be enabled to cross the frontier until late in the
autumn. In the meantime couriers are dispatched with
all speed between the Governments most interested in
the matter. Governor Houston had sent a messenger to
Mexico with important dispatches, and another, General
Duff Green, had also been sent on a similar errand by
President Tyler. The commander of the Mexican war
steamer Guadeloupe passed through New Orleans on the
16th instant, with important dispatches from England
for Santa Anna. Steamers and other vessels are, it is
said, to convey troops from Tampico in October, to
Galveston, which will be invaded and blockaded.
Another account states that President Houston has
offered terms, the purport of which has not transpired,
for the suspension of hostilities reported to have com-
menced on the other side of the river Bravo. A body of
600 Americans have fixed their residence on the banks of
the Sacramento, California ; the Mexican Government
were about to take measures for their expulsion.
Our advices from Central America are to the 19th of
July. There had been much disturbance and fighting,
caused, according to common report, by the machinations
of the British. The San Salvadorians, with the people
of Nicaragua and Honduras, had marched against Gua-
temala ; they took possession of an English schooner,
the flag of which, after being lowered, was again
hoisted, but the vessel was still in the power of her
captors.
The Canadian Parliament is to meet on the 22d in-
stant for the dispatch of business. There had been some
rioting between the students of Victoria College, Co
bourg, Canada, and the inhabitants of the town. The
former lowered the British flag and tore it into frag-
ments, afterwards hoisting the American colour ; this was
speedily hauled down by the citizens. No serious
damage resulted. The loyal party were completely
triumphant.

At a meeting of theWhigparty at Boston, on the 19th,
Mr. Webster made a long and eloquent speech. Al
luding to Texas, he advised that she should con-
tinue to be an independent nation, and repudiated
the idea that England will seek to acquire any special
connexion with Texas. He spoke of the fixed deter-
mination of the British Government to discountenance
slavery, on which a voice in the crowd exclaimed,
" They are all slaves in England." Mr. Webster turned
quickly on the speaker, and with a flashing eye and in-
dignant voice, asked what blood they, the citizens of the
United States, inherited ; from whence were the first
guarantees of the liberty of the subject derived ? fie
proceeded to say that Mexico had a right to regain
Texas if she could do so speedily and promptly ; but
otherwise a war of petty depredation must be put a stop
to by the great Powers. His course on the subject of
protection would be the principle, " If you will trade
with me, I will trade with you.' He, would, however,
have the hand labour of America protected against the
cheap labour of the operatives of Europe.
A new line of packets, consisting of the St. George,
1,000 tons ; Pacific, 800 tons ; and Seymour, 1,000
tons, is about to be established between New York and
Liverpool. The St. George sails on the Bth of October.
From Arkansas we learn that the cotton crop is likely
to prove fine and abundant.
MARYLAND AND OHIO TOBACCO CROP.—In Maryland
the crop is reported to be one-third below an average,
but the quality of the leaf is much superior to the last.
It is said that many planters around New Orleans are
preparing to convert their cotton gins into sugar-
houses. The caterpillar has made its appearance almost
annually.
NEW YORK, SEPT. 26.—The sales of cotton are 800
bales, at steady prices. Flour is rather dull of sale, but
firmer. Ashes bring $4 38c., and $4 19c. to 25e. Sales
of mess pork have been made at $9 12c. to 25c. ; more
sellers than buyers. Bees' wax sells freely at s29i
to 30c.

The exchange on England is 109 f, and on Paris, 5,2*.

HAMBURGH MAIL.

POLISH FRONTIERS, OCT. I.—Some weeks ago
above twenty youths belonging to the Gymnasium
were arrested at Warsaw as members of a secret so-
ciety. The younger boys, of 13 and 14 years of age,
were sent to the interior of Russia; but the elder ones
were sent to the Caucasus, to serve as privates in the
Russian army in that country.
STOCKHOLM, OCT. I.—An estate called Bolierup,
belonging to the late king, has been purchased by
Mr. Sylvan for 300,000 rix dollars banco.
STADE, OCT. 3.—The magistrates have issued a
notice respecting a treaty of commerce and naviga-
tion (which is shortly to be ratified), concluded with
the Danish Government, by which Danish ships and
their cargoes are placed on the same footing with re-
gard to charges in the Hanoverian ports as our own.
This notice states that this equality is to take place
from the Ist of this month.

BREMEN, OCT. 9.—The treaty of navigation of 18th
July, 1844, concluded between Sardinia and the
Hanseatic cities, was discussed in the meeting of the
citizens yesterday. This treaty, which has been al-
ready published, has been ratified by the Senate and
citizens.

BERLIN, OCT. 6.—lt is new positively decided that
the King will not go to Copenhagen before his birth-
day, which is the 15th of October. It is probable
that this journey will not take place at all this year.

THE REGISTRATIONS.
LYME REGIS.

Several of the Tory claims were served on the Sunday.
The Barrister held such service to be good, but has
granted a case for the opinion of the Court of Common
Pleas on this important point.

NEWHAVEN, OCT. H.—FORTUNATE DELIVERANCE.
—We are happy in announcing the safe arrival in Eng-
land of Captain Northwood, whose capture and deten-
tion by the Moors of the island of Arquin, on the coast
of Africa, has lately appeared prominently in several of
thd-public journals. Mr. Northwood is a native of this
town, and brother to Mrs. Smith, of the Bridge Inn. He
sailed from London in the barque Margaret for Africa,
for guano, in April last, taking with him his wife and
family ; John Sims, son of Mr. Sims, of the revenue
cruizer Tartar, and Alfred Smith, son of Mr. George
Smith, of this town, Whilst in search of guano, on the
island of Arquin, the Moors gave chase to them, and
shot poor Sims through the head. The boat capsized
and sunk, and they were all made prisoners, with the ex-
ception of one man, who was drowned. After ten weeks'
captivity, they were ransomed by Captain Isemonger, of
the brig Africanus, whose humanity and zealous exer-
tions saved them from being sent into the interior, where,
in all probability, they would have been slaves all their
lives. Mrs. Northwood and the remainder of the crew
proceeded with the ship to her destination, believing the
captain to have been drowned. Letters have been re-
ceived from her, dated Angra Pequina, stating that they
were loading rapidly, and expect to be in England about
the latter end of next month. She is still in deep afflic-
tion, believing Captain Northwood to be drowned.—
