Dispatches were received this morning at the Colo nial Office, from Sir RALPH WOODFORD, the Governor of Trinidad, dated the 27th of June, at which period evcrything was tranquil in the colony. This forneoon we received a file of New York Papers to the 25th ult. One of them announces the arrival of a French Commissioner to Mexico, who appears to excite great suspicion with the American Editor. These 'Japers do not confirm as piece or Mexican intelligence which has appeared in some of the London Papers, pro fessing to come from New York, and comtnunicating the successful result of General BRAVO'S expedition to Cuadalaxara. The advices from the city of Mexico ate - to the 16th of June, being ten days later than those previously received. The most recent accounts of Ge neral BRAVO'S expedition were to the 6th of June, dated from his head-quarters at La Berea, where he had issued two proclamations to his troops, dated on the Ist and 2d of that month. The authorities of Jalisco, on their side, were exerting themselves for the defence of Gua dalazara against General BRAVO. General VICTORIA arrived in the Mexican capital on the 15th of June, where the Government, notwithstanding the difficult circumstances in which it was placed, was proceed ing tranquilly, and with order, in the discharge of its functions. The Congress was employed in discuss ing subjects of public economy, and details of adminis tration. Measurei, it appears, have at length been taken for the punishment of the conspirators in favour of hunniun, arrested in the night of the 9th of May.— On the 6th of June the regular " council of war," or court-martial, sentenced to death Brigadier-General HERNANDEZ, and Don FRANCISCO SANTOYO ; con demned General ANDRADE to the loss of his rank and five years' exile, and the rest of the persons apprehended to perpetual banishment. The Mexican journal, El Sol, of the llth of June, announces that the Supreme Exe cutive Power had determined that the culprits con demned to different punishments for participating in the conspiracy, should be sent to Acapulco, in order that their sentences might be carried into effect, and that such of them as had appealed to the Sovereign Con gress for a commutation of the punishment of death, should be kept in the castle, there to await the result of their application. The fact of the arrival of a French Commissioner was officially communicated to the Sove reign Congress on the Ist of June, but no mention is made subsequently of any passports for the capital having been forwarded to him. A vessel arrived at Philadelphia on the 20th of July, in nineteen days from Alvarado, Which consequently sailed on the ht, but brought no additional intelligence. By accounts from Havannali of the Rah ult. received at Baltimore, it appears that there were in the former Ott no less than eleven fast-sailing vessels, well armed, fitting out for the African coast for negroes, intending to take advantage of the rainy season, when armed vessels are fearful of visiting the coast on account of the sickness prevailing at that period ! A vessel, called the Ganges, had arrived at New York, bringing dis patches from Mr. MlntrurroN, the American Minister at Petershurgh, among which was understood to be in cludes' the treaty by which the Russian Government has abandoned its claim to any maritime rights on the west coast of North America. ft is a cUriutis circumstance that the bearer of these dispatches . tax a "Mr. JOHN Ileac The following are extracts : • FROM TILE NEW YOUCO - kIIKL4T4 ittLY 24 .• By an Express arrived *e da/ before yes' oi4Peat Jalapa, the Supreme RitecutiVe rearmed dilitatchwe64 m Get eral Victoria; stating the arrival of a French brig of war, with a Commissioner from the King of France, bearing credentials to our Government. —The Commander of the brig waited on General Hinton, who assured him, that not only was there no squadron at Martinique destined to assail in any manner our independence, but that the French Government desired only to establish with the Mexican Republic relations of amity and commerce, without ever assisting Spain: The Commissioner wanted the necessary passports from General Victoria, to proceed to Jalapa. The French Cabinet are either playing a double game of perfidy, or a treacherous one to Mexico alone. Their Commissioner is in all likelihood • a spy and emissary. FROM THE NORFOLK HERALD, 28TH JULY. Foos' blextco.—Extract of a latter front Ilivannah, dated June 7,0 :—" A packet vessel arrived here yesttrday from Alva rado, in 19 days. She has on board all the specie which was received here by the last convoy from Mexico, about one million of dollars, the whole of which goes to England. That country ( Mexico) appears to be in a distracted state; Bravo has been named Dictator; a rising has taken place at Guadalaxara in favour of Iturbide, and Victoria has marched against them. Santa Ana bas gone to take the command of the troops at Yucatan. • It is said that Alvarado has suffered the same fate as Tampico—nearly de stroyed by fire." Buenos Ayres Papers of a late date have reached us. One of them contains a Proclamation issued by the Emperor of BRAZIL, dated the 12th June, by which it appears he is greatly afraid of an invasion by Portugal; and should it take place, he orders all the towns 'and villages to be destroyed, rather than fall into the hands of the enemy, and directs the inhabitants to retire into the interior. This Proclamation ends with a declaration that they will have liberty or death.—Letters from Mexico of the 19th June, and from Alvarado of the Ist July, state that all was quiet at those periods. Letters have also been received from Buenos Ayres, dated the 6th of June, but no event of political import ance had occurred there up to that date. The latest accounts received at Buenos Ayres from Peru, stated that Lima was still in the possession of the Royalists. Unfortunately, however, the date of the advices from Peru is not mentioned, but they could not be very re. cent, as the communications appear to have been inter rupted by the position of the cotps of Spanish Royalists in Upper Peru. The accounts from Chile through Buenos Ayres reach only to the 24th of April, and also furnish no events of importance. The letters are filled with specula tions respecting the probable issue of the contest in Peru• ' —One of them, dated the 12th of April, says—" The occupation of Lima and the castle of Callao by the Spaniards, will soon bring the fate of Peru to a decision. It is strongly suspected that the Spaniards are inclined to declare the independence of that country, as all their Officers are staunch Constitutionalists; but, of course, after so long a civil warfare, both parties are afraid to trust each other. The Spaniards, by a wise and liberal policy, have gained much ground in Peru; ' and although every hope and expectation may be placed in the talents and activity of BOLIVAR, yet I think he would be very glad-to conclude the war in any way by which he saved his reputation, so that he might return to his own country." By the arrival of LI;votrn7MATHEWS, off Cowes' from Matanzas, in 38 days, we learn that the pirates are still very active in that quarter. During the stay of the Favourite at Matanzas the pirates committed several outrages on shipping : within sight of the forts they captured an American brig, put the Cap tain and crew in the forecastle and nailed them down: took out whatever they thought proper, then set her on fire in three different places, with the crew below, ltd made their escape to the shore. The crew, luckily, forced the hatchways, and got on deck in time to ex tinguish the fire. It was a saying of FLETCHER, of Saltoun, that if he wrote the ballads of a country, he did not care who made the laws. The Catholic Association of Dublin seems to entertain a similar opinion ; and has actually ' organised an auxiliary corps of ballad-singers, who dis_ perse over the country and chaunt songs in praise of that black mail—the Catholic rent. The Carlota Morn ing Post gives the following account of their essay in that city, and states that the ballad-singers had been sent down by the Catholic Association lawyers: 4 ‘ We have been much annoyed, for some days, by the discor dant straius of two ballad-singers, who posted themselves regularly every morning opposite the office of this paper, singing a song in praise of the Association Lawyers. If the poetry were even toler able, we might have endured the boatswain-like bawling of the itinerant songsters—but the poetry and music were in strict ac cordance, and they only wanted the assistance of a sign painter to complete a union of the sister arts. We understand that the poetry has been written by Mr. Sum., the music composed by Mr. O'Goomax, and the action, gesture, and gesticulation, taught by Mr. O'Coweeiz—and that these ballad-singers were practised in Mr. COYNE'S drawing-room, Capel-street, for several days previous to their being sent out on the mission. Their wages are to be dis bursed out of the Catholic Rent. The following is one stanza of this precious composition, with its chorus: ' Let bumpers be flowing in our native land, And toast to O'Gotnian with a full one in hand, Counsellor O'Connell bis name we'll revere, And Coppinger too in our hearts most sincere ! CHORUS. • No matter to us what Critics may say, The Catholic Rent we'll cheerfully pay, The friends of our c' un ry adopted the plan, And every class to a.sis who can, The rich will join noble with honor bright, And the poor will increase it by throwing in their mite.'

Notwithstanding the severe squalls of wind and rain, the Proprie tors of these Gardens, though they could have anticipated but a very small attendance, relaxed nothing in their endeavours to amuse that comparatively small proportion of the Public which might honour them with their company. Still the Gardens were well attended, and the amusements lost nothing of their accustomed brilliancy and excellence. The same beautiful illuminations which we noticed on his Royal Highness the Duke of York's Birthday, were last night repeated; and in addition was the Prize Wherry, mounted on a platform, behind the Orchestra, illuminated all along her wash-hoards, with garlands of lamps over her midships, and Union Jacks of lamps also at her head and stern. She was pre sented to George Solliway and George Drummell, with the accus tomed ceremonies. BRIGHTON, AUGUST 17. Yesterday, the natal day of the COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF, the Bri tish flag was displayed on the venerable tower of the Parish Church, and the bells were rung merrily during the greater part of the morn. ing. The Royal Duke's dinner party yesterday, included fourteen Noblemen and Gentlemen, among whom were the Duke of Dorsi; the Earl •sf CHICHESTIR, the Earl of GLENCIALL, Lord ALA'AliLtr, the Right Hon. C. C. GREVILLE, and Mr. GREENWOOD. The Duke of Doitsirr, who arrived on horseback, alighted at the Royal York Hotel soon after four o'clock in the afternoon of yes terday ; his Grace departed to return to town this morning. Captain Russett, and the Hon. Mr. hay, left the above Hotel for town this morning. Admiral Mainmast, Captain Past, Grenadier Guards, &c. are in the arrival list. The Duchess of RICHMOND and the Ladies Pacer vacated their King's-road residence, and returned to Goodwood yesterday. The Earl and Countess of Ltviriroot. arrived at the New Steyne Hotel on Saturday, where having taken dinner, they continued their route for Hastings. The weather here continues damp and unsettled ; the Royal Duke, between the showers, has pursued his sociable walks to-day. Accounts have been received from Demerara to the 6th, and from Barbadoes to the 10th ult. at which dates those Colonies were in a state of tranquillity. Lord HILL is now on a visit at Mar Lodge. Lord GWYDYR is entertaining a distinguished party of Noblemen and Gentlemen at Drummond Castle, among whom are Count FLABAUT.T, Lord Mousaux, Sir W.

THE ARMY.—During the last week a number of in. valids from the regiments in America, arrived at Fort Pitt, Chatham. Monday, Mrs. COUTTS left Stratton-street in great state, on a visit to her late husband's kinsmen in Scotland. There were three coaches and four, with numerous outriders. The ap pearance of this rich cavalcade on the road will fill the hearts of the innkeepers with delight. Mr. JEFFERIES, who was attacked and robbed by the side of the New River, on Tuesday evening, was last night agree. ably surprised by receiving a letter, informing him that his watch bad been pledged in Old-street-road in the morning, by a woman. Mr. J. of course, lost no time in going forward and redeeming it. We regret to say that Mrs. Jsressms is seriously indisposed, from the alarming behaviour of the robbers. Since the murder of Mrs. CULLIFORD, otherwise Dorrarrr, the efforts of the Police have been baffled in all attempts to discover the perpetrators. The Crown Lawyers have also been bosily engaged in realizing her property. Government having, it is said, declared the Intention to bestow the produce on the surviving ' relatives, mama of kin. The Treano r y erdnigeonl two memo rials, one from DAVID DONATTY, the nephew ; and the other from a Mrs. Tossetins, who professes herself related to Mrs. CULLITODD ' at the same time declaring she had formerly lent her £lOO, which sum has in consequence been paid to her, through Mr. Mauls, the SeUdtor to the Treasury. Tuesday last was appointed for a hearing of the separate claims before hero Nicuout., Esq. his Mrazitv's Proctor ; from the result of which it is supposed there will be a division of the property between the parties. ACClBENT.—Thursday, an accident betel a party, consisting of four Ladies, a Gentleman, and a little boy, who were going from Margate to Dover, in a small barouche, with two ponies. In coming down River hill, by some means the vehicle pressed against one of the ponys' quartets, when he fell a kicking, and both ran away at full speed down the hill, the barouche was overturned, and the patty thrown out with great vio lence ; two of the Ladies were very much lacerated and bled profusely from the temples, and other parts of the head, &c. They were taken to a lodging-house at the village of River ; and at first the life of one Lady was despajred of, but we are happy to learn, the whole are now in a fair way of recovery, although they cannot yet be moved from the house. Tuesday evening, as THOMAS BLAKE, Esq. was returning from town to his residence in the Kent Road, in a single horse and chaise, a horse and cart, proceeding in an opposite direction, came in violent contact with that Gentleman's chaise, and he was precipitated into the road with such violence as to cause a concussion of the brain. A person was instantly dispatched for surgical aid, and Mr. DRAWBRIDGE, Surgeon, of the Kent Road, promptly attended, and rendered the unfor tunate Gentleman all the assistance that medical skill could devise, but we lament to say he survived only a few hours. Venice was anciently famed for its admirable police. It happened one day that a French Nobleman, in taking a few turns in the square of St. Mark, had his pocket picked of a valuable watch. Instantly on ascertaining his loss, he repaired to the Police Department, and ex pressed with little discretion, and in unmeasured terms, his surprise that, under its so much vaunted regulations, such a circumstance could have occurred in the middle of the day, and in so public a.place. "Be careful how you speak of the Police of Venice," said the Commis sary to whom he had addressed himself; " your cha racter of foreigner will not shelter you, if you indulge in such invectives. Deposit here four zechins, and re pair to-morrow morning, at the same hour, to the spot where you lost your watch, with an assurance that it will be re4tored to you." The Frenchman was punctual, and waited three hours without any tidings of his watch. Still more enraged than before, he again presented him self to the Commissary, venting the bitterest impreca. [ions, and swearing that he had been most shamefully plundered and duped, having not only lost his watch, but his zechins, together with his time, which he held to be equally valuable. "Look to your fob," said the Commissary, and there, to his utter astonishment, be found his watch ! " You have still to learn something further of the Venetian Police," added the Commissary, " for which purpoe here is an Officer who will accom pany you." Having descended to a subterraneous apartment, his guide led him, by several gloomy, vaulted passages, in crossing which he became more and more anxious as to what was to befal him, to a chamber, dimly lighted by a lamp; where, in a recess, the curtain of which was drawn aside for his inspection, suspended by a cord, he saw via TRIM COURT OF CUAXCERY-TIIIS DAY. This being the last day of the Loan Csi.tsoct.Lon's present sitting, -his Lordship took his seat on the Bench shortly after nine o'clock. JONES V. YARROLL. This was an application by the Infants and Legatees of the Tea. tator, who died leaving property to a very large amount, and prayed that, after paying off certain iticumbrances, the lega c i t , should be paid over to the Petitioners; that a Receiver should be appointed, who was to inspect the accounts of the respective lona. gera of the plantations abroad; and that on the receipt of the dif ferent consignments to this country, the produce should be paid into Court, in the name of the Accountant-General, to the credit ef tbis cause. The prayer of the Petitioners having been read-- The LORD CHANCELLOR directed an Inquiry by the Master, e,f lc , reported, that there was very considerable sums io the bands of ;b e Trustees, who had paid the same over, and that the contignee had now ready for sale the last consignment from Jamaics.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, AUGUST la. _„. James Richards, farmer, of Sharpcliffe, Statrordshile, was remanded for seven months trom the date of Jai petition, for undue prelerence in favour of his farnilr. John Gunton was opposed by Mr. Turner, who state; that he had entered into an agreement with the vent, which he produced, for the purchase of improve,/, rents, which were to arise from houses the insolvent v.:I , at the time building in Surrey. The agreement via 3, that when the houses should be finished, the insolvent should assign the lease of the ground from the free. holder to Mr. Turner, and should take the lease of t!le houses from him at an improved rent. On this agree. ment Mr. Turner paid a deposit of about 3001. When the houses were finished, he demanded of the insolvent the fulfilment of his agreement, and then found it was not in his power to complete it, as, after taking Mr. Turner's deposit, he had mortgaged the houses to ano ther person.—Remanded for eight months from the date of his petition. James dc Thierry,late of Cambridge, came up on his petition to be discharged. The insolvent is a very dap- per little gentleman, of very delicate address. No one appeared to oppose his discharge ; bin the following colloquy passed between the insolvent and the Coutt. The insolvent had been arrested by his tailor. What are you . at Cambridge? Nothing at all, Sir.—What, no. thing? No, Sir, my brother is a Collegian there.—What age arc you? I was just coming to twenty.one in last December.—Ar e entitled to anything ? No, Sir, not anything now, and I do:1 . ! know that I may be entitled to anything.—ls your father livivg? Yes, Sir.—And have you no allowance? None whati.oever.—Were you brought up to nothing? I was not, Sir, brought up to anythu v . ...What is your father?—(We did not distinctly heat the answer this question.)—What is your elder brother ?—My elder bruth;•r. Oh, he is a—oh, he is—nothing at all. Ile was going into Mt ' church. I was not of ass when I had the clothes. That, Sir, is a very shabby excuse for not paying for them. Yon kept them and wore them, you know.—The insolvent signified that be did. and added that he endeavoured to make an arrange ment with his creditors. The Cowl? then intimated that his conduct was very discreditable, and that his family ought to pay his debts. The insolvent was then discharged. Lieutenant George Mackenzie, of the 14th Regiment of Foot, came up on his petition to be discharged. The insolvent was not opposed. It appealed that he vras indebted to Mr. George Pearson, of Ambleside, in the sum of 1201. by bills drawn on Cox, Greenwood, and Co. army agents. He had made an assignment in 1819 or 1820, of a reversionary interest in the 6 per Cent. Stock to a Mr. Codd. The Court was unwilling to ap point Mr. Codd as the assignee under the Court, upon legal grounds, as some disputes might arise between himself and the other creditors. But it seemed inclined to waive this objection, and asked Mr. Codd if he would use due diligence respecting Mr. Pearson 's d , :bt? Mr. Codd said he could not go into the insolvent's estate on , account of the trouble.—The Court observed that it w as I the duty of an assignee to collect debts, and minutely investigate the insolvent's affairs. It therefore appointed another person as assignee. In the course of the exami nation Mr. Codd applied to have some part of the in solvent's half-pay appropriated for the benefit of his creditors; but the Court thought, as it was only 80!. a-year, provided the insolvent lived prudently in future, he could not spare much out of so limited an income.— The insolvent, in answer to a question put by the COU7t, said he had no other dependence.—No order affecting his half-pay was made, and the insolvent was discharged ST. JAMES'S PARK. " In the time of King Henry VIII." says a note to Dr. King's Poems, in Chalmers' Collection, " the Park was a wild wet field; but that Prince, on building St. James's Palace, enclosed it, laid it out in walks, and collecting the waters together, gave to the new-enclosed ground and new-raised buildings the name of St.James's. It was much enlarged by Chales H. who added to it several fields, planted it with rows of lime•ttees, laid out the Mall, formed the canal with a decoy, and other ponds for water-fowl. The lime•trees or tilia, whose blossoms are uncommonly fragrant, were probably planted in consequence of a suggestion of Mr. Evelyn, in his Fumitagium, published in 1661." Charles H. was very fond of the Park. His habit of walking there, attended by his dogs, both sad and merry, has been noticed before. His ducks, which he also amused himself with feeditig, inhabited a spot called Duck Island, which was erected into a " govern ment," in order to furnish the French exile and wit, St. Evremond, with a pebsion.—Bird-cage-walk must not be forgotten, which was an aviary of Charles's raising, and retains its appellation. In books of fifty and a hundred years back, if you met with a hungry Gentleman who did not know where to get a dinner, you always find him sitting on a bench in the Park. Others generally accompany him, most of whom are politicians. Bickerstaff meets here' his acquaintance the " Upholsterer," who lets his affairs run ruin in his zeal for the King of Sweden. It would appear from novels, that the Park enjoyed some privileges from arrest. In Fielding's Amelia, the hero often walks in the Mall, when he can go nowhere else. During the existence of the old Cathedral of St. Paul's, the inside of that Church was the re,oit of the hungry ; who, in allusion to a tomb supposed to cont.iiii the body of Humphrey, Duke of Gloucester, gave ri.e to the saying of dining with the Duke Humphrey. The Mall is so called from the game uf Mall, to which Waller alludes. Charles 11. transferred it from 1'all•ntall. In a house looking into Mr. 13entham's garden, in Bird-cage-walk, lived Milton. The front of it is in Vork•street, and, without beiqg the ancient one, is in a very squalid condition. The Horse Guard, w•as in a poor condition in the time of Charle4. The stables looked like the open corridors of an old inn ; and a toy of a building, with a staircase outside, appears to have been t•:e guard-house. These conclusions are drawn from the print in Pennant. The parish of St. Giles' in die Fields is, with the as sistance of the Church Commissioners, about to elect two new Chapel;, one in Store-street, on the rite of the premises occupied by Mr. Combe's brewery, and the other in Feather:sewn, Holborn, at the back ai Whet- stone Park.
