By the arrival of the Royal William, steamer, in 20 days from Liverpool, we have received , dales from Paris to the 1 nh, London to the 19th, J and Liverpool to the 30th of September. The news by this arrival is of great importance, panic- | ularly in a commercial and financial point of view. The passage of the Royal William has been very boisterous, not having experienced, through- j out the whole distance, a single fun breeze, except one day, on the coast of Nova Scotia, when it blew a gale from the north cast, and another on the Long 1-land shore. In spite of tho contrary winds and equinoctial j ! gales, the Royal William proved lie.sell a capital j sea boat. The only drawback during the voyage, 1 was the great crowd ot passengers, who were so 1 numerous for her size and accommodation, us to destroy all comfort, and almost endanger health, but more especially the slioitue-s of the fuel. The culpable conduct of the directors of the traus-At lantie Company at Liverpool, cannot be passed * over in silence. Os this, and of the internal management of the Engli-h steamers, we shall * speak at full length in a day or two. Mexico. —The most impoilant nows by this arrival are the latest accounts given of the dispo sitions and movements of the governments of s France and England, relative to (he blockade ot - Mexico. \\ e have private intelligence from Pa s. ris, from our correspondent there, which is par j licularly interesting at this moment In the early part of September, Prince de Join e viHe had sailed for Vera Cruz with a fleet of three ships of the line, and two bomb vessels, for the 'purpose of reinforcing (he French (Vet before ilmt ciiy. It is supposed in Paris, and in London, that the French government have the intention of possessing themselves of some point d’appui on the southern continent of America. At all events the Prince is expected In strike a Mow, it the Mexicans do not yield, sufficient to permit the King to refer to it with eclat at the next opening of the Chambers. The French blockade of Mexico is creating' a great sensation in England and Europe. In Lon don, the press lias lakcn a most active part in the discussions arising out of the question whether the blockade is legal or not. The Parisian press, particularly the republican portion, defend the conduct of their government in the most energetic terms. It is remarkable, too, that this defence should be set up by that portion of the Parisian press, who are most opposed to the government of the King. As yet the British government has taken no active part in relation to the blockade, but, it is believed, that the outcry raised by the mercantile interest in London, and other com. mercial towns, will prevail on the British govern ment to interfere in some formal method. The diplomatic agents of Mexico and Bu n nos Ayres in London, were very urgent upon the ac lion of the government —and this, in conjunction with the remonstrances of the merchants, it is supposed, will be able to effect a chc.k l 0 (he French policy. S\ c have received sor,io important facts of the views ii! - L ,io French,.and the policy of the Mexi cans. It seems that Mr. Henderson, the diplomatic agent from Texas, was in France in the month of August or September. In Paris, we learned that he had effected a commercial treaty with England. As soma us this important [mint had been effected in London, Mr. Henderson proceeded to Paris to ncgoeiale a similar treaty there. While in Palis, the news of the blockade of Mexico gave a new view to the position of affairs. It was supposed that if Mexico did not settle her differences with France, that by some secret arrangement, the Tax ians would attack Mexico by land, simultaneous ly vvitli the attack by lire F encli Heel by sea. All that the government of Texas wanted to raise 10,000 men in the western estate; was a sufficien cy of money. This advance might be made by France on a secret treaty, giving great advanta ges to the Tesians. On the other hand, the dL plomatic agents of Mexico and Buenos Ayrc.m governments were ton idle in England. It was 1 currently staled in the best informed circles in London, that preparations wc-ro made to attack French commerce by sea, as soon as the first in timation that a gun had been tired on tSan Juan do Ulloa, or whenever Mexico had declared war against France. Swift sailing vessels were rap idly preparing on the Thames,on the .Mersey, and at Bristol, ready 1-sue at any moment, and to act under letters us maique from Mexico or Buei nos Ayres. The diplomatic agents of hath these governments were very busy in perfecting these means of retaliation —and it was believed in Eng land, that in the event of an open rupture, the French commerce on the Atlantic would suffer very severely. In every point of view, the affairs of the block ade of Mexico and Buenos Ayres were beginning to create a great imbroglio among the govern ments ami people of France and England. AL ready it has created more passion and virulence between the press of London and Paris, than any other question has done for the last lew years. I’his depth of interest is augmented from ti e in terference the blockade occasions to very impor tant commercial interests. Progress oF the West. The value of the agricultural products which annually descend the ri er Mi issippi, is estima ted at seventy millions of dollars. Ii appears from official documents that the value of the properly annually transported on the Eric Canal of PJcvv York is sixtyiseven millions of dollars, paying in tolls to the state treasury $1,611,000; but wo pro sumo this amount comprehends the value of all the goods transport nil each way. In the year 1708. when an assessment was made with a view to the levying of direct taxes by the general government, the property west of the Alleghany muun aina in states and territo ies of (ho American union, was valued at only twenty six millions; the same district is estimated at the present day to contain properly of the value of twelveTiui'rdred millions.

The works of internal improvement, already begun and proceeding to wards completion with unexampled raj idiiy, in the, states of Ohio.
