From the New York Herald ) The Liberty railed from Liverpool on the 13tb nit., Kin! brings paper to that date. The newt which we hare thus received, it of the behest importance of more consequence than any we have received in the last ten yeara. It i no more nnr than Iht resignation nl .v Robert reet, and the organization of a new Cnbnft by Lord John Kuttell.' The announcement of thi important fact im portant to the United States, in a commercial point ot view, ai well, perchance, in political as pect, threw the whole English public into a slate of the ereateit excitement. Ita eflVct was tremendous. n addition to this, and a a necessary conse quence, Parliament had been further prorogued as the following exhibits: "At the Court at Osborne Ilo-sse, Isle of Wight, the 10th day of December, 1845, present the Queen's Most Excellent Majesty in Council. It is this day ordered by her Majesty in Council, that the Parliament which stands prorogued to Tuesday, the 16th dny of December instant, be further prorogued to Tuesday, the 30th day ( Tembr inst." The Corn Law question has been the tause of all this. The effect that this newt will have upon the relations between England and America cannot but he of the utmost consequence. American cotton had improved. The following statement it made in the Liver pool Mercury of the 12th : Thk Message of Pracx to America. An in quiry has been earnestly addressed to rt from London as to whether the news touching the ex pected opening of the ports really left England by the Acadia, from our river, at noon on the 4th instant. Oar reply is, and we can answer for the fact, it did so. We have entitled it a message of peace, because no one can doubt the eflect of the announcement, especially if followed by re alization, not only upon the Oregon question, but all other matters of discussion between the two nations. This we lenow is a mistake. The announce ment ofthe London Times did not come in the Acad:a, although it was evidently intended for that steamer. RESIGNATION OF THE MINISTRY. (From the London Herald, Dee. 12 Sir Robert Peel'a Government is at an end. All the members ofthe Cabinet yesterday ten dered their resignation, which her Majesty was pleased to accept. It will be easily believed that we regret this determination of her Majesty 'a advisers ; but we should much more regret their unanimous deter m-ration to sacrifice the industry of the country by sr;rp'rg it of all protection.

Prom the London Chronicle, Dec. 11 An oiru-'.al annouiiceim nt. in another part of oor p:iper. confirms one part of the statement h'ch we maJ ? yesterday namely, that Parlia ment, instead of being summoned for the des patch 1 business, would be again prorogued. The othvr and more importont part of our an nouncement is, we believe, equally correct. Th Cabinet, we are assured, resigned yester day. It is confidently said, that so far from the Cabinet having at any time come to a decision to reeommer.d the repeal of the corn law, a large majority of his colleagues have through out been opposed to Sir Robert Peel"t recom mendation. From the London Sun, Dec. 11. J The Ministry of Sir Robert Peel has resigned. The country at large may be startled by a cir cumstance so unexpected, but such is the fact. Yesterday morning the majority of the cabinet, comprising the Duke of Wellington, tht Duke tf Buccleiich. Sir Robert Peel, Sir James Graham, the Earl of Aberdeen, Lord Stanley, Mr. Goul burn, the Ear! of Lincoln, and Mr. Sidney Her bert in all, nine out of twelve or thirteen com posing the entire cabinet, proceeded by special train to Southampton, and were conveyed by the royal steamer Fairy to the Isle of Wight. At a cotut held at Osborne House they tender rd their resignation to her Majesty, which wat graciously accepted ! Here it a sudden and ab rupt termination of the Conservative cabinet, ami that, too, at the very moment they were sup posed, and even demi-officially announced, to have become the converted organs of free trade policy in all its ramified bearings. It were idle to speculate on the cause of this Biilo'iked fnr disruption oft cabinet whose whole career has been that of fighting under false or as sumeil colors. Dut one circumstance it rather eignifieant. It might have been observed that the Duke of Wellington did not attend the Cabinet Council held on Monday, after the return of Sir Robert Peel from Oibornt House on that day The duke had made up his mind for better for worse, and left the cabinet to take itt course. It tat only an hour, and during that eventful hoor had decided on resigning the government The decision, was, of course, conveyed to the Duke of Wellington, who, prompt to hit duty.ac companied the doleful train to Osborne House to resign, what he had often asserted he did not pot' ten, hi ministerial office. The Duke had no direct ministerial office, but shared responsibili tv with h i colleagues. At commander-in-Chief the Field Marshal it no Minister, but only com mands the army, responsible to the Crown and the parliament. But, in hit ministerial capaci ty at a Cabinet Minister, he wielded more nega tive power, perhaps, than Sir Robert Peel him self, from the fact that be held the majority of the Host of Lordt in bit pocket. Tbtt circumstance, alsae wat tjoitt atosgb, without the doubtful aid of hesitating friendt, to have decided Sir R Peel on resigning an office wh'ehhad become at thankless it it wat Irksome, fiut he hat resigned Va a good and righteous cause, and hit reward will be in accordance with bit merits. fhould war take place with Amer ica, neither Aberdeen nor Haddington ....i.ii : . 1 l .. .1 i i . , , I vim it nurriii leu noil nuu mv spirit ana mill tuited to tuch a terious contest. The downfall of this) heterogeneous Cabinet will be the worst newt for Polk that he has received tince hit in ttalment into office. The Syrian affair madear impression in America, which established the character of Palmerston for decision and national spirit ; Tolk would rather tee any man in the Foreign office than a nobleman, who, tince the days of Canning it the only tninitter that hat as serted the honor of the country in all her fereign relations. Report says that Sir Robert reel's resignation was received by her Majesty without hesita tion. althoneH Sir Robert Peel'a line of intended policy would have had her Majesty't support. Lord John Rusrell was at once tent for; but, as the noble Lord is at present in Edinbnre, some days must elapse before he canobey the summons. In short, with the exceptions of Sir R. Peel and Sir J. Graham, the country in well rid of the 'strong Ministry." Its demise will give addi tional impulse to the principles of free .rade and salutary reform, and rouse a spirit of resistance to Tory principles, which bids fair to establish a new era in the government of this vast em pire. Parliament cannot now meet so earlv as was expected; and upon the course taken by Sir R Peel, will depend the prospect of a dissolution It is believed that Sir Robert will tupport Lord John Russell in his general policy. The Premier wat almost alone in hit views in hit awn Cabi net. Tni Nrw Misistrt ImmediaMy upon the refusal of the Duke of Wellington, on Friday lat. to carry out what he had agreed to do -namely, to propose a repeal of the corn laws in the House of Lords it became apparent that resignation of of (ice by Sir Robert Peel must follow. Lord John Russell was recommended to be sent for. and a messenger was despatched on Saturday last to command his attendance at Osborne House. His arrival was there expected yesterday, and Sir Fobert Peel expected to have met him there. Sir Robert, however, returned last nitht without ha ving seen Lord John. This morn'rg Lord John Russell and Sir Robert Peel had an interview of an hour's duration, after which Lord John Rus sell left town fer Cowes. He had an audience with her Majerty, and has returned to town this evening, having had full powers given him to form a Government. He has sent for Lord Pal merston, and ia taking, it it believed, all the ne cessary steps to foim an Administration. Frem the London Post, Dec. 12 On Wednesday last, at the council that assem bled at the Osborne House, Sir Robert Peel and every member of his cabinet tendered the resig nation of their respective oftVes. and theje resig nations ber Majesty was graciously pleased to accept. The Queen has since entrusted to Lord John Russell the duty of forming a new cabinet. His Lordship appears to have received the very ear- licit intimation that his services were likely to be required, since we find that, on Tuesday morn ing, immediately after the ai rival of a messen ger from London, the noble Lord quitted the neighborhood of Edinburg on his way South. Yesterday Lord John Russell was honored with an audience by the Queen, at her Majesty's reti- unce in the Isle of Wight. Such are the details so far as we can collect them ofthe statement we made in a considera ble portion of our impression of yesterday. The rumors in circulation up to a late hour of the e vening will be found in another part of our pa per. The following it the most correct list of the new Cabinet : First Lord of the Treasury, Lord J. Russell. l.ord Chancellor, J.ord Cotteiiham. Secretary of Foreign Af- fars, Far! of Clarendon. Secretary for the Colonies, Viscount Palmerston Secretary for the Home Department. Marquis of Normandy. Chancellor of t!it Exche quer, Mr. Paring. President of the Council, Marquis of Lansdowne. President ofthe Board of Trade, Mr. Laboucher. Vice President. Mr. Shiel. First Lord of the Admi ralty, Earl of Milton. Lord Lieut, of Ireland, Earl Fortescue. First Commissioner of Woods and Forests, Earl of B-sshorough. Ambassador to Paris. Lord Beauvale. Amhasador to St. Pelerburth, Marouit of Clanrirarde. The gieat objection to the correctness of this list it that onedoet not find in it the name either of Sir Robert Peel or of Mr. Cobden. ?. Jgir- Ell-LI U-l IL'Sg'iM!HBS!attTatltt THE AMERICAN.

The Peel or tory ministry, have resigned. This result has been occasioned by the Corn Law question, which has greatly a- gitated that country for the last f-w years. Lord John Russell, the great leader of the w hig party in England, has been tent for by the Queen, to form a new cabinet. The present Parliament will, ro doubt, be disolved, and a neWelrction ordered. In 1he present Parliament there is a majority of about 100 opposed to the views of Lord John Russell, on the corn laws. The new elections will, no doubt, result in a majority in favor of his policy. The contest, however, be tween the coin law advocates, whoare generally the Lard-holding Aristocracy, and '.hose in favor of a repeal, will be unusually servere. Millions of money will be spent on these elections, by the wealthy Land-holders, as well as by their equal ly wealthy and more energetic commercial and manufacturing opponents. reel has been for some time in favor of the corn law reform, but has been invai iably opposed and overruled by his tory colleagues. He therefore abandons the reins of government, rather than be instrumen tal in opposing the rising spirit of the people. What effect this may have on the Oregon question it is hard to say. The new Premier is as fully committed on this question as his prede cessor It may, however, form an excuse for a renewal of negotiations. MoNToca Hoi sr.

In the House, on the 14th inst., Mr. Magehan moved to amend the 47th rule so as to prevent any but membert and officert ofthe House from going behind the Speaker't chair or into the transcribing room. Mr. M. said he made thit motion because there had already been a larceny committed there. Mr. Mageban said that when the itoler. bill (Mr. Bright's tariff resolution) was called up. if it was not produced, he should move to expel the transcribing clerks. He then w ithdrew his mo tion for the present. The Speaker laid before the House th annual reports ofthe Danville and Pottsville Railroad, and the Western Penitentiary. Ofthe latter the usual number of copies were ordered to be prin ted. Mr. Hill offered a resolution for the removal of the Legislature to Oregon until the discussion on that subject should close, but afterwards with drew it. Mr. Hill should have persisted in his resolution. The discussion of this matter in the Legislature is, probably, intended to convince the world, that certain members are qualified for Congress, who are row practising at the expense of the stute The Speaker laid before the House a letter from James R.

The turn and substance of last week's wotk, by the honorable servants of the "dear people," when summed up, amounts to little more than the discussion of giving Great Hritiin the 12 months' notice. The "faying!" upon it, thus far, hnve been truly great; but as for the do ings" they have been very inconsiderable, and, nthf) "signs of the times" are indicative of anything, the discussion will continue forseve. rtl werks more, or at all events, until the arri val ofthe Hibernia. In the House, this week, resolutions have been sdnpted, authorizing the committee on Na val Affair, to ascertain the nmnber of vessel in the merchant seivice that may be available to the government, in esse of necessity, as ships of wsr. A bill has also passed the eecond res ding in the Senate, which repeals the set limU ting our naval force to 7.500 men, and authori ze the immediate construction snJ equipment often iron steam ship, appropriating a consi derable sum fur that purpose. The resolutions to give Great Britain 12 months notice, have been postponed in the Sen ate, for final action, until the 10th ot February. Thie gives the "mot-l potent, grave and reverend signiors" time, ss they say, for reflection. We are waiting, nut all very pitiently, for the arrival of thestrsmer, which will bt here by the 23J or Sills inst. Some fret and chiftj as much as a green schonl-bny v. lien first initia ted into the "mysteries of a flu i,nr 1 Miirl," in anticipation ot the lushingtof the British pres, while other, with a little more wisdom, "take it coolly," Member, who have not the patience of a Job, nor the courtesy of a D'Orwy, some times abruptly leave their seats, while some ot their fellow members sre in the set of pouring forth their most eloquent strains and soul stir ring sppes's to the patriotism of the country, which plainly means: "You cram these words into mine ears, against The stomach of my sense." In fact, there has been so much done in the way of disciiHrdon, upon thia question, that it lias bo- come oppressive to those who are oblijed to lii-ten. Nearly all have the same tale to tell, which leaves some, ss Mr. Chipman of Michi gan said, when he rose to express his opinion on the question, in the predicament of the beggar girl he once aw on a cold stone step, crying. "What is the matter, my cirl," said he, "Oh," said she, "another beggar girl has atolen my story." This is precisely the predicament in which ma ny of the members sre in just now. It i a lamentable fact, but I believe none the less true, that men from whom the country nvght extiect more, are trying to makethis qm-stion a hobby for '.he political advancement of greedy aspiranls. Tin's is applicable to the leading whii's here. Willi a view to the future ad vancement of their party, a double Innded came is being played. While they are secret ly working in favor of giving the notice, (for they know they will he politically ruined if it turns out to h-i beneficial to this country, they give it their opposition,) the press of their pirty, trenerallv rpeaking, are endeavoring to ereatea war panic, and denouncing the democrats tor the same measures that some of their principal men are in favor of. Peace and prosperity is as much the motto of one party, ss the other. None believe, no matter of what party .that there is sny dsnger of war, let this country pursue what course she may upon the Oregon question. Let England goto war with us, snd it mu-t in evitably lead to her ruin st home snd abroad. She has Ireland to attend to, from whence she drnws a very important and essential part of her naval force. Ireland would, ascertain ss there is a future, in case of war between the P. States snd Great liritain, revn't and set up for herself it no independent lerrislnture was granted her. England would, therefore, have to calculate upon the loss i t Ireland or that of Oregon if she should engage in war. This is a consideration that would receive the serious at tention of Dritish t'atesmen, bolore pluniinjr their nation into a war. They would also look, and rightly too, at the ex clusion of the raw material now shipped into her dominions, from the U.S. in case of war, which actually givea employment to millions of lie,r starving and down trodden people. France too, needs a watchful eye from Great Britain. Since the Waterloo defeat, the French people have been lookme upon England with some jealousy, and are only waiting a favorable opportunity to wipe c IT this stain upon her na tional honor. Her commerce would necessari ly be interrupted by a cnllininn between the U. Slates and Great Britain. Thia the would not tamely submit to, and would ultimately lead to a war with England. Canada too, which is also ready now to throw off the forced allegiance of a power that has al ways been oppressive, would not long remain a British province tf er actual h,x.tililiet had been commenced. These things wilh the recollection of her former conflict with us w hen we were less able to cope with her, would forcibly present themselves to British statesmen, before enter ing into such a suicidal course. All this war panic, then, has a' greater tendency to bring on the things they seem to much to fear, than the giving nf tha notice. In my Isst, I mentioned tht arrival here of s messenger from Mexico, bringing despatches from Mr. Slide ll.our minister. Tht rumor has been contradicted by tht Union. Nevertheless, aoutt art of tkt opinion that a ineasengtr did arrive. Tba Union of Saturday tvening aayt, tbtt rumor it prmltnl in tbt tity that Mtsico bat declared war.

Mr. Taylor, of Virginia, member of Con gress, died here on Pridsy night He had been Considerably indisposed since the opening of the present session. Air. Dromgoole, his colleague,, did justice to the qualities of the deceased, in an eloquent manner. He is said to have heena man of superior abilities. The House of Rep. resentatives, on the melancholly announcement, after pissing the usual resolutions in honor of his memory, adjourned. The funeral took place on the 19 h, in consqu.;nce of which Congress will not be in session until Tuesday. The nomination of Mr Horn, as collector to the port of Philadelphia, and that of Judge Wood ward to the Supreme Bench, have not yet been acted upon. The doubt I expressed in my last, in regard to these nominations, have not been lessened any. Ifany thing, they are increased. Some say, but 1 will not vouch for the truth ot these sayingr, that, if the President had been familiar with the peculiar opinions expressod by Mr. Woodward in the reform Convention of Pet.nsylvania, on the Native American question, lie would not have made the nomination. This may, and msy not be the ease. Rut the Judge'e friends say these opinions were given in his ynnnjer days, of which he has long since re pented. I see, by the proceedings ofthe Pennsylvania. Legislature, that your member, ever faithful in the discharge of his duties, has offered resolu tions instructing the members and Senators from Pennsylvania to support the tariff of '42.
