AMERICAN NEWS

(EXPRESS FROM LIVERPOOL.)
LIVERPOOL, THURSDAY MORNING.
The packet-ship Liverpool, Captain Eldridge,
arrived in the river at a late hour last night, having
left New York on the 21st ult., making the passage in
about twenty days. The dates by this arrival are
five days later, the dates being by the last steamer to
the 15th.
The news seems to be of little importance. In
Canada no new Ministry had been formed, but a Pro-
visional Committee had been appointed, composed of
Mr. Daly (the Member who did not resign), Draper,
Viger, and a few others, unknown in the political
world, until a more permanent arrangement can be
made.

The political principles of the new Government will
probably coincide with those entertained by the late
members.
By the arrival, at New Orleans, of the brig Del-
find, intelligence had been received that the Congress
at Merida, adjourned on the 17th November, and
that on the 19th Governor Mendez assumed the
reins of government. The acting Governor, D. Miguel
Barbachano, issued a valedictory address, in which he
urged the people to accept the proposals made by the
Mexican Government, for a re .establishment of peace.
The French brig of war Griffon was detained at the
port of Campeachy, and it was thought the Yucatan
Commissioners would probably go in her on her way
to Vera Cruz. It was believed that a treaty would
soon be ratified on terms similar to those offered last
August, by Tornel, the Mexican Minister of War.
Captain Coleman, of the schooner Manson, at
Holmes' Hole, from Savanilla, informs the corres-
pondent of the Merchants' Exchange, Boston, that
five days before he sailed the Governor was assassi-
nated at Santa Martha, by a gang of ruffians, supposed
t ) hav a landed from some vessel from South America,
In Congress, at Washington, on the 18th inst., a
movement was made simultaneously in the Senate
and the House of Representatives on the present
Tariff Act. A resolution was introduced, calling on
the Committee of Ways and Means to report as to
the expediency of bringing in a Bill to repeal the
existing tariff, and to bring in a Bill establishing a
twenty per cent. ad valorem duty, with discrimina-
tions only for the purpose of revenue. It was nega-
tived, the votes being 77 to 111.
The New York papers announce the death of Smith
Thompson, Judge of the Supreme Court of the
United States.

rOMEIGN.

On Monday, at twelve, the King of the French pre-
sided at a Council of Ministers. On the preceding
evening the following personages had the honour of
dining with his Maje ity:—The Neapolitan Ambassador,
the Minister of Wurtemburg, the Count de Sercey, the
Prince de San Severino, the Marquis de Brancaccio, the
Marquis de Riario, the Duchess and Mdlles. de Serra
Capriole, the Count and Countess de Bondy, and Ge-
neral Schneider.
The Address Committee of the Chamber of Deputies,
on Monday, entered on the discussion of the paragraphs.
It is said that one in favour of the Poles is to be intro-
duced, and a short one blaming such Deputies as have
made the journey to London. M. G Bignon was chosen
to be the reporter.
The annual ball for the benefit of the Briti; h Chari-
table Fund will take place at the commencement of
February, . under the patronage of his Excellency the
British Ambassador and Lady Cowley.
A lottery has been got up at Toulouse by the Vis-
countess Duchatel, with the object of raising a fund for
putting an end to mendicity in that town. This haS
afforded the Royal Family a fresh opportunity for dis-
playing its benevolence. The King has remitted 500 f.,
and the Queen, the Duchesses of Orleans and Nemours,
and her Royal Highness Madame Adelaide have sent
several prizes. The Minister of the Interior has also
contributed I,ooof. to this good work.
The Journal du Havre gives the following account of
an English collier, lately arrived in the docks of
Havre :—" This vessel, whose registered measurement is
318 tons, can carry upwards of 400 tons of coals ; she
draws only 11 feet, English, and therefore can pass
through all the channels of the Seine. She is built of
iron, on such a plan as combines great capaciousness
with delicacy of form, and a very low draught of water.
She is called the Vulcan, and is gone to Rouen towed
by the Hercule steamer."
The Committee fur the erection of the monument to
the memory of Moliere assembled at the Hotel de Ville
on Sunday, and decid; d that the inauguration shall take
place on Monday next, the 15th inst., at twelve o'clock.
Count Rambutt au, the Prefect of the Seine, will preside
at the ceremony, and will deliver the first oration. He
will be followed in succession by M. Etienne, Director of
the Academie Francaise, in the name of the Institute ;
M. Samson, for the actors of the Theatre Francais ; and,
ast, by M. F. Arago, in behalf of the Committee. The
istitute is a body, the Municipal Council, and deputa-
ons from the Societies of Dramatic Authors and of

Mon of Letters will be present. This homage to the
author of Tartuffe must give great umbrage to the
clergy.
The Ambassadors of the Great Powers having com-
plained to the Porte on the subject of the execution at
Broussa, of a Christian who had abjured the Mahometan
faith, after having embraced it, the Porte has replied that
the execution had taken place by mistake. The Bey-
lekil:chi ►vho ordored it has been dismissed.
