IMPORTANT FROM AMERICA IIIIIIV•L OF TEE SHIP LIVERPOOL.  The packet-ship Liverpool; Capt. Bliftln, arrived in the Mersey on Tuesday, bringing New-York papers to the 23d ult., being five dsys later than those previously received by the Yorkshire. The Hibernia had not reached Boston at the time of the sailing of the Liverpool. The Liverpool brings home £lO,OOO in specie. The news by this arrival Is important. By the latest news from Mexico, Santa Anna was at the head of au aroma 16,000 men. He had, it is said, leaned another pronuncianexto against the provisional government, and called on the country to organise a force of 60,000 men to renew the war. Senor Anaya has been elected president. The Mexican Congress has broken up In confusion, and the members are retiring from Queretaro, in disguise. General* Worth and Pillow, and Colonel Duncan were arrested, by order of General Scott. They are charged with reflecting in an improper manner upon the General-in-Chief of the American army. The charge is founded upon their correspondence, which has fallen into his hands. The troops who had gone southward, had been guilty of many acts of violence upon the people of the lower portion of the territory. The Apache Indians had charged Into the rio (or enclosure) and drove off 200 head of cattle, killing three men in the employment of Mr. Thorp, and destroying all the Wlrgooll. Various rumours of mutiny had existed. Capt. Smithson had resigned on account of state charges preferred against him. There were only 600 men left at Santa Pe. Three thousand Mexioan troops were busy at Chihuahua in erecting fortifications and mounting cannon on the castle and the other defensive works. Santa Fe had been the scone of a most frightful massacre of Indians. The Comanche Indians were making descents in large force upon the Mexican settlements in the north-western department*, robbing, murdering, and plundering in every direction. Major Lane, of the Texian cavalry, with SO men, encountered them and had a fight with them. A larger force had been premed forward to his assistanoe, to enable him to drive them bask to their own bunting grounds. The following important paragraph with reference both. missal. of the Britleb-navigation laws is puhlisluullsi tha NSWraid :—" A correspondence has taken place between the Secretary for Foreign Affairs and our Minister at that con re-. lative to the repeal of the navigation laws of Great Britain. Mr. Bancroft replied to Viscount Palmerston early in November, to learn shether ministers would consent to establish with the United States a perfect system of reciprocity, in making all vessels of either country, fitting out from any port in theworld, fr, e to trade to any port of the other nation whether home or colonial. Viscount Palmerston, after the lapse of some weeks, replied, that although her Majesty's Ministers did not feel at liberty to advise her Majesty at once to make such a change in the commercial system as ass asked by Mr. Bancroft, without the sanction of Parliament ; but, as soon as that body would meet, a measure would be introduced which would embrace all the views put forth by Mr. Bencroft in his note. It is not doubted that Parliament will at once act favourably on the bill." Accounts from the west present most heart-rending accounts of distress, occasioned by the flood in the rivers flowing towards the Mississippi. Thousands of families were rendered houseleas —large numbers of cattle, hones, and hogs were swept off—cities were submerged, and, worst of all, many valuable lives lost, in the foaming and raging river torrents. The loss of property must be immense—what amount it was impossible to state. The churches of Cincinnati were thrown open, as asylums for the houseless.  TI-
