The beautiful ship Rainbow, Capt. Benjamin,
arrived yesterday afternoon, from Liverpool,
when she sailed on the 9Th ut., thus making
very short passage across the Atlantic
Our papers are of the latest date. We are in
debted to Captain B. for files.
The news, in a commercial point of view, is
Of considerable interest.
Grain had advanced.
Cotton had declined
The Yorkshire, Sea, and J. r.. skiddy had ar
rived off Liverpool.
There has been terrible civil war in China.
One hundred and thirty thousand persons killed and
tcounded.
Baron de Boique, the French Minister of Agri-
culture and Commerce, had arrived in Liverpool,
en- route to America.
There had been food riots all over Europe
Advices from Portugal to the 10Th of April,
state that the Queen had changed her ministry,
and, it is said, had decided upon making conces-
sions to the people. Subsequent accounts state
that the Queen of Portugal has accepted the
terms offered by the English government; and
thus an end will be put to the civil war.
Accounts from Constantinople state that Be-
derhan Bey is still pursuing his sanguinary
course, impaling the Nestorians-men, women,
and children. A great number of the Turkish
troops have revolted and gone over to him.
Fresh troops have been sent to attack him.
The accounts from the wheat markets of the
French departments again becoming each
day more serious. In almost every district
rise in prices had occurred.
Some new arrangement of the French minis
try was contemplated. La Presse asserts that
ministers had actually resigned but this Is pre-
mature. A change of politics was not how
ever, to be expected. M. M. Guzot and Ducha-
tel, at least, would remain.
1t Is stated in letter from Cracow of the 2sth ut,
that the peasants of Gaicia driven want by
the high price Of provisions and their in
drink scarcely allow week to pass without ting fire
to the houses Of respectable persons, and committing
other outrages against property.

| More American Glory In England
From the London Chronicle, May IL
The received from the United States which we
published yesterday, and confirmation Of which, with

San Juan de Uua has fallen before the efforts of Com

by Santa Anna in tho north against the division of Gen
zachary Taylor to have failed thus much least
proved that in their direct attacks the terrific

ted States army have been crowned with SUCCESS.
sMr Polk then has been successful in wing this fact
that in attacks made by his troops against tn. Mexican

for the purposes Of the argument may taken
same thing that the Spanish Creole Levies, have no
chance against the Anglo Saxon volunteers. But we
must hesitate ere we grant our assent to the
proposition, that Mexico is conquered simply because
the United States troops have routed the Mexcans
when rival forces have been brought fairly face to face

possession Of the town of Vera Cruz and that
General Taylor could make out good title to the fee

coast Of Mexico question Of importation ex

rather to them is not blockade of the Gulf
to possession OF the town of Vera Cruz! The only
way In which consider the fall Of Vera Cruz to DO Of
the slightest Importance is il could that pro-
vsonal Government of Mexico would be- thereby in
duced to conclude peace with the United States the
terms of cession of certain portion Of territory.
Now the seat of the so-callcd government at Mexico,

We never entertained the slightest doubt as to what
