AMERICAN NEWS.

ARRIVAL of the GREAT WESTERN.
(EXPRESS FROM LIVERPOOL.)_.
LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY MORNENG, FOUR O'CLOCK.

The steam-ship Great Western entered the river this
morning at three o'clock, bringing ninety passengers, and
New York papers to the 12th instant, being ten days later
than by the last arrival. These papers are much occupied
with the affairs of Mexico and Texas. The Commercial
Advertiser, of the 11th instant, says, "We were furnished,
just after the paper went to press yesterday, with the sub-
joined extract from a letter to an eminent mercantile firm
in this city, dated

" MEXICO, MAY 90.

" This Government having been empowered by Congress to
enter into a treaty with the Texan commissioners, all fear of a rup-
ture between this country and the United States, on that score, is
at an end."

" The writer obviously daaws his Inference from the belief that
Texas will accede to the arrangement."

This news is extremely probable, as we find the same facts
stated in a letter from Vera Cruz, of a previous date, with se
veral particulars. The writer says :

" It appears that Captain Elliott, the British Minister at Texas,
accompanied by an agent from that Government, charged with
proposals for peace, arrived here on the 11th April, in the British
man of war Eurydice, and departed disoetly in a very private
manner for the city of Mexico. M. Caevas, the Minister
of State, made a report to the Mexican Congress on
Texan affairs, and, with the unanimous consent of the
Cabinet, proposed a decree authorising him to receive proposi-
tions made by Texas to arrange and conclude a treaty of peace
honourable to Mexico, to be submitted for the approval of Con-
,.gress. Zhis decree passed the House on the ad of May by a vote
of 41 to IS, and subsequently was approved by the Senate unani •
taously. A Bill for a loan of 8,090,000 dolls. has also become
a law.

" Since then letters from the city of Mexico, which I am told
may be retied upon, have been received here, stating that the nego-
tiation between Mexico and Texas has been completed so far as the
executive of the two countries are concerned. The terms are said
to be that Mexico acknowledges the independence of the latter,
guaranteed by France and England, provided Texas releets annex-
ation with the United States or any other country."

The domestic intelligence in the American papers is nob
important. No decision appears to have been come to re-
specting the Oregon affair; and we find no later intelligence
respecting the great fire at Quebec. The following are ex-
tracts :

Plum HATTL—Capt. Robinson, of the schooner Samuel Roberts►
thirteen days from Cape Haytien, reports nothing new. All was
quiet. President Pierault arrtped at Cape Haytien four days be-
fore Captain Robinson sailed.
Moamox TRULB.—The St. Louis Republieats of Monday, the
2d inst., speaking of the trials going on at Carthage, Illinois, says :
—" We are informed that the jury in the ease of the Indictnaents

for the murder of J. Smith, the Memnon prophet, after an absence
of about thirty minutes, returned a verdict of Not Guilty. The in-
dictment. for the murder of Hiram Smith will be tried -at a special
term, which will be held after the circuit is gone through with."
The editor of the Saratoga Sentinel has been sued for a libel by
Joseph 11. Wheeler, of that place. The following is the paragraph
on which the action is brought :—" Quays ?—Did gentlemanly Joe
Wheeler ever pee anything of a pair of boots sent from West Troy
by the cars, marked for H. Wilbur, Saratoga Springs ?' We
merely ask for information, as they never reached their destination."

()unsay, JUNII 3.—The bulk of the Spring feet has arrived.
The number now amounts to 460, with a tonnage of 167,207.
Lae year, at the corresponding period, the amount of vessels arrived
was 249, and the tonnage 98,062.
