AMERICA.  LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY. The United States mail steam-ship Pacific, Capt. Ezra Nye, arrived in the Mersey this afternoon, after a rapid run from New York of nine days 23 hours, having left that port at noon on the sth instant.  The Pacific brought 130 passengers and $370,550 in specie on freight.  Tlie steam-ship Tennessee, which left Havre on the 19th of August for Now York, put into Halifax on the 4th inst. short of coals.  The news per the Pacific is four days later from New York than by the North Star.  The New York. Herald states, upon the authority of a correspondent in Madrid, that a private treaty has been made by France, England, and Spain, with the Dominican Government, in which the latter, for a certain consideration, has pledged itself to the following conditions, viz.:—  " No settlers from the United States, of any class or colour, shall be encouraged to hold lands or take up their residence in St. Domingo. "No land for mining purposes, factories, or coal depots shall be sold, leased, or ceded, either to private companies or to the American Government, without the prior consent of the French and British Governments." "Now," adds this respectable journal, "let us exa mine the meaning of these conditions. The island of St. Domingo covers the free passage of our trade by the Caribbean Sea and the Isthmus of Darien, as Cuba covers the Gulf of Mexico and the use of the Tehunnt,.pec trancit. It is a cardinal object with England and France to keep to themselves the command of those great gates of communication between the various sections of the American Union, and to prevent us from controlling the West India market. This explains the promptitude with which those powers sent their order to St. Domingo to cancel the treaty with the United States, and which they effected without the least remonstrance from our Cabinet. The tame acquiescence of our government in this outrage encouraged them to follow up their advantage bya triple treaty with Spain for tie general protection of negro and European interests in the Antilles. This compact with the Dominican Republic takes away from the United States the only chance open to them for a commercial foothold therein, and the allies may now take their own time to hand over Cuba and Porto Rico to Sambo and Satan—the rest of the West Indies is theirs already."  A despatch from Albany, dated Sept. 4, says"At the general term of the Supreme Court of the State of New York, held at the Capitol, in full bench, Thomas Francis Meagher was, by a special order, admitted in attorney and counsellor to practise in all the courts of the State. The court, by the Hon. Chief Justice Parker, in granting the order, made some highly complimentary remarks on Mr. Meagher, and stated the pleasure with which the court recognised his talents and character by this special mark of its consideration." The last accounts from Norfolk state that, so far from any abatement of the yellow fever having taken place, it was worse than ever, and the panic among the inhabitants was increasing. The mortality at Portsmouth is also represented as fearful. The number of deaths in New Orleans during the Week was 471, including 357 from yellow fever. This is a considerable decrease, and mostly occurred during the latter part of the week. The steamer Hetzel, of the' coast survey, burst her boiler near the Capes of the Chesapeake. It happened on the 24th ult. Four persons were killed. Madame Rachel had performed in New York, and made a great impression. She appeared on the 3d of September as Camillo in Les Horaces, and on the 4th as Phkdre, to crowded audiences, at the Metropolitan Theatre. Advices from Havannah are to the 28th ult. Six persons had been summoned by the public attorney on a charge of having conspired to murder and accomi)lish the assassination of Castanedo. They did not obey. The feast of ,Guanabacio had been duly observed, and several murders and attempts to kill had occurred during the religious excitement. The newly-arrived troops from Spain had suffered from severe diarrhoea, and a few cases of yellow fever had appeared. The bank scheme could not be moved on. The wharfage improvements at the landing place are described as very fine. Santa Anna and family arrived at Havannah on the 24th from Vera Cruz, and left on the 26th for Caraccas. Mexican accounts to the 22d ult. state that the flight of Santa Anna, the revolution at the capital, the adoption of the plan of Ayutla, and the establishment of a provisional government, with Gene.
