er Acadia, at Boston, on Wednesday
Afternoon, we have Liverpool and

ed illegal. The reorganization is said

The State Trials, in Ireland, drag
their slow length along No progress
has yet been made, and, if the excite
ment which has been put forth by the
Times correspondent be correct, that

General Duff Green, who has been
roughly handled by some of the Amer

will not be the Wing Henry Clay, the
author of the present exclusive tariff,
but either Mr.. Calhoun or Mr. Van
Buren,, his opponents.
American cheese continues TO arrive
by hundreds of boxes at a time, and
American beefis also coming in freely.
The accounts from the East tell a la
inevitable tale Of blood, assassination,
and treason. The native governments
are gradually crumbling TO peices from
sheer inani,ion. The Purjaub has wit
messed the hands Of its ministers and

stances marked by peculiar treachery
and atrocity.
