UNITED STATES

The packet-ship Cambridge, Captain Barstow, which sailed
from New York on the Ist instant, arrived in the Mersey
yesterday morning. She has brought news from New York
and Washington one day later than that received by the
steamer, the Britannia.

The proceedings in Congress had been rather interesting.
On the morning of Friday the 30th ult., the President sent
a message to the House of Representatives with a notiffcation
that he had approved and signed the Tariff Bill. He also
sent another message with a protest against the Report on
the Veto-Message made by Mr. Adams and adopted by the
house. The President requested that the Protest be entered
on the journals of the house. Mr. Adams excused himself
from making any motion on the subject in consideration of
the delicacy of his situation. Mr. Botts read to the house
some extracts from a speech made by Mr. Webster in the
Senate on resolutions toddling the protest of President
Jackson, for which resolutions Mr. Tyler voted. These re-
solutions Mr. Botts now offered for adoption. They are to
the effect that the'President has no right to make such a pro-
test, that his doing so is a breach of the privileges of the
house, and that the clerk of the house be directed to return
it. All the resolutions were agreed to, save that embodying
the last sentence, to send the message hack, which was
lost.

The Loan Bill, reviving the Distribution Clause, omitted
from the Tariff Bill, had passed the Congress and been sent
to the President. It was expected that he would not notice it.
No change had occurred in the Markets since our last.

INDIA MAIL.—The departure from London of the next
Indian mail, via Falmouth, will, it is said, be on Friday, the
30th instant, and that via Marseilles is fixed for Tuesday,
the 4th of October.

Accounts from Valencia, Spain, present a melancholy pic-
ture of the ravages committed over a part of that province by
a hail storm on the 29th ult. Stones fell for 19 minutes, of
unprecedented size and weight; some were pieces of ice
weighing from 1 lb. to 8 lb. ! The entire harvest of rice, oil,
wine, mulberies, oranges, pomegranates, and fruits of all
kinds are destroyed, valued by the provincial authorities at
5,460,000 reals, above £51,600 sterling.

BUENOS ArREs.--The Buenos Ayres papers of the 16th
of July, allude to the escape of the Revistera squadron, seen
off Martin Garcia, out of the reach of Admiral Brown, whose
flag ship had got aground, and prevented his proceeding.
The three vessels, it was expected, would take an uninter-
rupted course to the Parana, and there co-operate with the
troops on its banks. The British Packet gives the particu-
lars of the interview of the new Brazilian envoy with Rosas,
who had received that delegate with the honour necessarily
due to his character and station. A slight reaction in the
quotation of the exchange would lead to the supposition that
business was not so brisk as it had been : the last quotation
was 3d. per paper dollar. There were 61 vessels in port at
the latest date.

The Ausburg Gazette of the 15th instant has the following,
under the head of Brussels :—" During the negotiations for
the treaty of commerce between Belgium and France, two
notes, one from the Prussian Cabinet, the other from that of
England, were transmitted to the Belgian Government. The
English note contained menaces; that of Prussia observed
that the King of the Belgians and his Ministers would under-
stand too well the interest of their country to draw upon it
the hostility of the rest of Europe by an exclusive adhesion
to the interests of France, and the Prussian Government
would see with pleasure the Belgian Government contributing
to the modification of the Belgian duties on the Prussian
frontier. The Belgian Government did not allow itself to be
intimidated by the note of the British Government, and I re-
ferred acting in the sense of that of Prussia."
