ißy the packet-ship Liverpool, which arrived here this
morning, we have received New York papers to the 22nd
ult.

Serious riots took place at Brooklyn on the 20th ult.,
and following days, in consequence of the Irish labourers
having struck for an advance of wages. The men assem-
bled in large numbers, and the military had to be called
out, and were, according to the last advices, actively en-
gaged in quelling the disturbances. About 500 Germans
are now engaged at the dock-works at Brooklyn, and the
employment of these persons offended the Irish. One of
the Germans has been seriously injured.
The Caledonia steamship arrived at Boston on the 20th
ult., with the important intelligence of the British victo-
ries over the Sikhs. The news from this country was con-
sidered favourable to tee continuance of peace, and the
amicable adjustment of the Oregon question.
The news from Washington is to the 20th ult., and is
important. It seems that the House of Representatives
has refused to recede from the amendments to the O. egon
resolutions, by a vote of 89 to 64. The Senate refused to
alter the resolutions, and the certainty now is, that the
resolutions giving the notice must either pass in the form
in which they came from the Senate, or entirely fall
through. In either case, the Senate of the United States,
aeting in an amicable spirit, will have accomplished a most
pregnant victory over the President and the House of
Representatives.
From Mexico we learn that General Almonte had ar-
rived at Havana, en route for England. Immediately on
landing at Havana he went to Santa Anna, with whom he
was closeted for several hours. Mr. Slidell had received
his passports, and had left the country. It is said that
the Mexicans were on the eve of another revolution in
favour of Santa Anna. who was expected daily at Vera
Cruz. A ship arrived at New Orleans, which left Vera
Our on the 3d April, reports that on that day the Repub-
lican and Santa Anna party united were to declare against
the g‘ivernme.nt, and it was said that Mr. Dimond. the
troors.were eo disposed that they could not act against
United States Consul. had declared that the government
the insurgents. Further and more corn -lete advices from
this qu..rter will therefore be most anxiously looked for.
Two American soldiers have been seized by the Mexicans,
and thetrA their release was demanded, it was declined.
A letter from an officer in the United States army on the
Mexican frontier says," Everything betokens the greatest
activity on the opposite side of the river; two redoubts were
thrown up by them during the night, and two more are
construc'ed to-day. Officers in splendid uniforms are
promenading on the bank, and the gay streamers of
the lancers are waving in all directions. Our infor-
mation is correct in relation to their forces, &c. ; about
2500 regulars and 600 militia are quartered in the town ;
Gen. Ampudia is some two or three days' march distant,
with 3500 or 4000 regulars, and a few militia ; besides
these, conscripts are daily arriving, which will probably
swell their numbers to some 7000 or 8000. We have con-
siderably less than 3000 effective men."
Exchanges remained inactive ; on London, at 109 to
