.EXPRESS FROM LIVERPOOL.

LIVERPOOL, Sux.DAy.
We have had another arrival froth America to-day.; -'4l
The New York packet-ship, North America, reached
,ti
our port this morning, after.A O having been at anchor a. '
short distance below the rock during the night. She ;r1
has brcniglA -files of papers from the above-mentioned
city to the 19th ultimo. On Friday last, abdut. 5 ,
o'clock r.m.„she passed the Britannia mail-steamer, it
for Halifax avd Boston, eight miles north of Water--
ford.

Nothing whatever had been allowed to tranLpirc
regarding the negotiations on the Boundary que_tion,
or other subject; of dispute between this country and.
America, nor do the New York journals offer their
usual number of surmises, being nearly filled with a

lengthy correspondence between their Government
_ _ .

and: that of Mexico. The h tter have demanded, in a

very imperious tone, that the United States shall
order her citizens to refrain from furnishing Texas
with ammunition or men, and has also intimated that
they should also abstain from trading with that

country. In reply to those modest requests, the
American Secretary of State writes, that Texas,

having been recognised as an independent State, no,
impediments will be thrown in the way of her trade ;
and he states, in conclusion, " that the Government of
the United States, in regard to the Isar between
lexica and Texas, having been always, hitherto go*
Tned by a strict and impartial regard to its neutral
ou'igations, will not be changed or altered in any
re-' ok ,ct or degree."

SAGE OF THE TARIFF BlA'a ..—The Tariff Bill, with the
distribution feature, passed .the House about six o'clock
this afternoon, by a vote (Ne 116 to 112-8 Democrats
and 5 Whigs absent. Had &tie Members all been pre-
sent, the vote would have stood- —Ayes, 121 ; Noes, 120;
one vacancy. The expectation h', that the Bill will pass
the Senate with the distribution fts lture, by one majority.
An effort will be made to substitl.te the projet of Mr-
Simmons for the House Bill, and it will probably be suc-
cessful. The expectation is that the debate will not be
protracted beyond the coming week in ,the Senate. ._

papers of the 14th of July.
Agreeably to the proclamation of President HoustOny •
Congress has convened at Houston. On the 29th at
the Preeident delivered his message to that body.. It is
a plain document, written with perspicuity, and is-prince'
pally confined to a statement of the embarrassed state of
the [rational treasury. The President is for dispn of
the public Lands as the most prompt way of meetL9g the
financial exig.ency. After briefly reviewing the incur
sions of the Mexicans and his own course relative to the
preparations for an offensive war, he submits the whole
matter to the discretion of Congress, recommending
especially to their favourable notice the national nervy
Nothing of importance had been done by Congress UP

A correspondent of the Galveston Civilian, vvrilinneg,
from Corpus Christi, under date of the 22d of ja
says :
There was an arrival a few days ago from Berco'
of three Americans and a Mexican. By these wennar..."
learn that it is Arista's intention to make his
ters at Mier with 3,000 men ; also, that the nem"'
ate-
men at Matamoras does not exceed 1,000. 'These s.
ments I believe to be nearly correct. The trader(re-
cently detained by the volunteers, and liberated by order
of the President) left apparently satisfied, with about
two-thirds of their property. They have appointad Mr.
Aubry agent to receive any more that may be four d. I
understand that two of the captors are fitted out with
two horses, saddles, &c., and gone east. , This property
will of course be given up when called for;, but should it
not, it is the determination of those who wish justice
done, to make an expose. •
The camp will move to• morrow for the Neuces. All
seem in high spirits, and although one hears occasionally
some grumbling, you may rely upon it that when called
upon to fight, the n.ten will not he found wanting.
We learn by this arrival that the men are and have
been well supplied with beef, coffee, and sugar, and are
doing very well, and were well I.atisfied.
