Concols tor Acct. 95 3 4 3/4- This forenoon we received the Jamaica Royal Gazette to the Bth of May, and the Courant to the 16th. The former, in a Supplement and two Postscripts, extending to thirty•two pages, contains copious extracts from the E2glish Papers, and some intemperate articles from the Colonial Journals, on the case of Mr. Su ITII, the Mis sionary. The Guiana Chronicle, after noticing the re mission of the sentence by his MAJESTY, says— " Thus then arc the wicked allowed to excape through the vacillating nature of those in power, and the influence of the bigotry a l arty. Fortunate, indeed, is it for the real friends of humanity, tha the hand of strayzu removed the wretched criminal tb a place of severer account, before this sentence was made known, which would have given a license to indulge in all the criminalities of man kind in any other part of the world than this.

Why were nut Haggarty and Holloway banished front Hounslow-heath, and calkd upon to enter into recognizances not to commit murder upon any of his Majesty's heaths for the future r The writer concludes by declaring, that had the Go vernor put the sentence on Mr. SMITH into execution he would have done an incalculable benefit to the Colony. The Demerara Roma Gazette, on the other hand, after vindicating the character of the Court Martial, claims for his MAJESTY the royal prerogative of mercy, and for the Governor approbation of his conduct in recommending Mr. SMITH to mercy. Tke Court of Policy of Demerara had passed votes of thanks, and some more substantial proofs of their approbation—in the shape of pieces of plate and swords —to the principal Officers of the several Regiments engaged in suppiessing the insurrection in that . Colony. A considerable portion of the Jamaica Gazette is filled with an account of a dispute between the Officers of the 91st Regiment and two Gentlemen of Kingston, relative to a point of etiquette on the celebration of the KING's birth-day. The parties had, however, been bound over to keep the peace. The Gazette states, that Lieut.-Colonel DAWSON, the account of whose death we were first able to contradict, had arrived at Kingston in the FORTE frigate. The Garcuat cutter, Lieutenant Cawernr, sailed from Port Royal on the ad of May, for Carthagena, having on board dis patches from Vice-Admiral Sir LAWSENCI W. IlAterso, K.C.B. for the Vice-President of Colombia. The last intelligence from Mexico is of considerable importance, and confirms our suspicions of the adven turer 'TUMOR, whose departure from this country for Mexico, was first announced in the STAR. One or two of our contemporaries were loud in their praises of the Ex- EMPEROR. whose zeal and patriotism we were told were to give tranquillity and independence to that interesting portion of the New World. We never were admirers of this usurper of the throne of MONTEZUMA, and con sidered him one of those soldiers of fortune who are regardless of the means, so that they may gain their ob ject ; besides, we recollected that when the Mexicans first began to throw off the yoke of Spain, he was for some time in the service of the Royalists, when he dis tinguished himself by his cruelty towards the prisoners who fell into his hands, few of whom he spared.— The manner in which he raised himself, on the shoul ders of his soldiers, to the Emperorship of Mexico, and the arbitrary and tyrannical conduct he pursued while he possessed authority, were sufficient proofs of his am bition and his selfishness ; and when we found him violating the compact by which he was so liberally pen sioned, and quitting England, we felt confident that his mission boded no good to Mexico ; we did not, however, think that his treachery went so far as the last accounts from Mexico represent it to have gone. The intelli gence, which is derived via New York, is to the 19th of April. It states that a conspiracy had been discovered in favour of ITURBIDE, and that the leader of it had been arrested and beheaded. It appears that a Colonel Boom has been arrested between Tampico and Mexico, in consequence of being suspected of being an emissary of krunatne's ; he landed at Tampico from England, and being refused a pass port by the Commandant of that place, he set off with out one. His papers were taken from him by the Con• stitutional Alcalde, and sent back with himself to Tam pico. The suspicions as to human's's views, no less than that of selling Mexico to Spain, had been con firmed by a private communication of the Ex-Emperor ITunatoz, dated the id of November, 1823, to King FERDINAND, and obtained through bribery, at Madrid, by a friend of Mexican independence.

The adventurer has now gone to attempt to regain his power, but whether for the purpose of treacherously betraying Mexico to Spain, or in order to profit by the dissentions which he may excite in that country, seems doubtful. Happily, however, the Mexicans know his designs, and are taking active measures to frustrate them. The Mexican Congress, in the beginning of last month, appointed a Committee of their own Body, consisting of eight individuals, to deliberate on the best means of maintaining public tranquillity, who reported unanimously that the entire want of moral strength and energy on the part of the existing Government, and the want of confidence in the Provin cial Authorities, required that a " Supreme Director" should be forthwith appointed by the Executive, with power to appoint a Vice-Director (to act in all cases of trability on the part of the Dictator); and who should also be Commander-in-Chief of the Military Forces of the country—have power to transfer the Government and Congress from the capital to any other part of the country—to appoint Military Commanders in any of the provinces, and dispose of the military power generally— to obtain money on the credit of the nation—to resist at pleasure the acts of the Provincial Legislature—to so licit foreign aid if necessary—to expel foreigners who have not been naturalized ; and, finally, to annul any of the acts of Congress, whenever they should in terfere with his measures, &c. This proposition was immediately discussed in secret session, and it is said in private letters to have passed by a majority of Con. Kress ; and a Member of the Executive Government ap pointed to the office. The Committee of Public Credit of the Mexican Con gress reported a bill on the 17th of March, for acknow ledging and funding the debts contracted by the diffe rent Governments of Mexico, since 17th of September, 1810. The Committee represent the whole national debt as amounting to only 40,725,000 dollars. In a preceding page we have given, from the Gazette of last night, the Official Dispatches relative to the late unfortunate events at Ashantee, which we regret to say they confirm to the fullest extent, and the only con solation remaining, is in the hope that they may ter , urinate with these disasters. It appears that there is no danger to be apprehended for Cape Coast Castle. SHERIFFs CO 1.1 I? 1; RED LION. SQUARE,juneI2, THE A/01 Y. __.....-. This day the Royal Blues marched from Windsor barracks fur Hounslow, lirentiford, Isleworeb, and Twickenham, where they will be quartered until after the review.

KINGSTON, J eat AMAICA , MAY 8. A Court-martial assembled on board the Forte, 46, in Port-Royal harbour on Thursday morning, consisting of the following Members : —Sir TSIONAS J. Coca Rana, Knt. President, Captains T. Foaaasr, CB. G. F. Roca, W. It. Dimities, and It. bil.Leass, for the trial of Lieutenant W. From of the Renegade schooner, 3, on a charge exhibited against him by one of his crew, Thomas Riley, whose evidence was beard at a very great length; together with that of several other witnesses. The case for the prosecution being closed at three o'clock, the President said, that if Lieutenant Fiott required any time to prepare his defence, he might state the same. Lieut. Fiott wished, as the day was so far advanced, to have until the fol lowing morning, to which the Court immediately assented, and then adjourned, till nine o'clock yesterday morning, when it again met, and Lieutenant Fiott delivered a most manly and feeling address, which was by no means required in exculpation of his character, but still he submitted his private, as well as his public life to the strictest investigation of the Court-martial. — His defence having been read, several respectable Gentlemen bore testimony to the excellent character of that Officer, and some letters, highly honourabie to him, were produced, and also read. The Court was then cleared, and on its re-opening, a sailor named Saab y was examined, when it was again cleared, and , on being opened, a list of the witnesses was called over, the charges read, and the sentence pronounced, which declared Lieut. Fiott to oe-.-honorably acquitted. FREDERICK JOIINTSONE, ESQ. V. LORD BRUDENELLE. Mr. BROCC.IIANI opened the pleadings in this case. The declaration charged the defendant with having seduced the wife of the plaintif, and the Jury were assembled to assess the damages. Mr. BRoUCHAM addressed the Jury. It became his painful duty, lie said, to detail to them the circum stances of this case which had called them together, and it would be their duty to decide upon the amount of damages which the plaintiff was to receive from the defendant for one of the greatest, if not the very greatest, injury which one man could do to another.— The marriage of the parties, and the seduction, had been admitted by the defendant's suffering judgment to go by default. Captain Johnstone, the plaintiff, was a young man of most respectable family, of the highest honour in his profession, and of a fortune which enti tled him to aspire to the hand of Miss Halliday, who afterwards became his wife, and who was daughter to one of the most honourable and gallant Officers in his Majesty's service, he alluded to Admiral Halliday, who had, in consequence of the death of Lord Dysart, taken the name of Tollemache, and became possessed of a considerable fortune. Admiral Tollemache was mar ried early in life to a Lady of family, Lady Elizabeth Stratford, daughter to the Earl of Ormond, a person of whom it was impossible to speak in other than terms of unqualified admiration, whether as to her virtue or accomplishments. This Lady and her husband had recently endured the heaviest affliction. In three short months they had lost three most lovely daughters, and now to this blow was added the seduction of the fourth —an event which he would venture to say must have aggravated their sorrow in a tenfold degree, because by this act was a stain for the first time inflicted on their house. At the time of the marriage of Captain John stone, which toot place in 1817, he was twenty-six years of age; his Lady was twenty. She was a person of great accomplishments and distinguished beauty. The affection of Captain Johnstone for his wife was un bounded, and during an illness with which she was attacked at the latter end of 1822, lie attended her in cessantly, and conducted herself in the most exemplary manner. The family of Captain Johnstone was not equal in point of fortune to that of Mrs. Johnstone, and it might so happen that this circumstance had led to' some little strifes, which sometimes took place; Mrs. Johnstone might, and perhaps did, feel mortified that her husband was incapable of granting her those inclul gencies which were enjoyed by her more fortunate sis ters, but still she had all that the means of Caotain ' Johnstone would justify him in granting; and even if her inclinations were thus thwarted, this formed rather an aggravation than excuse for him who would take advantage of such a state of things, to seduce her from the arms of her husband, and from the paths of virtue. It was a fact, too, of which sight should not be lost, that Capt. Johnstone and Lord Bt tidenelle had been intimate from their earliest infancy, and continued in the enjoy ment of each other's friendship to within a short pet iod of the melancholy occurrence, which had led to the pre sent proceeding. In the beginning of 18'29, Captain Johnstone went into Dorsetshire, on a visit to the Hon. Mr. Sturt—whose wife, Lady Elizabeth Stort,was Lord Brudenelle's sister. Mrs. Johns:one was invited to be of that party, but for some reason or other she declined accompanying her husband, and remained in town. It was on the 7th of January that Captain Johnstone went to Mr. Stull's, and after he had been there a week lie was inexpressibly shocked at receiving a letter from Ad miral Tollemache, informing him that Mrs. Johnstone had set off from her house, without assigning any sea son, for Bilis. Mr. Johnstone instantly hut ried to town, and saw the Admiral, whom lie entreated to lose not a moment in writing to his daughter, to point out the imprudence of her conduct. The Admiral did write, but without effect, and Captain Johnstone him sell set out for Paris, but was unable to procure access to his wife. He consulted leg:,l advice, as to whether it would not be possible to get at her by force, but this he found impracticable, and was compelled to leave her in the house of her grandmother, the Dowager Lady Aldborough, as no solicitation could prevail upon her to return. Up to this time no suspicion existed of any connection between Mrs. Johnstone and Lord Rau • denelle ; but some time afterwards it was discovered that she was living under his Lordship's protection. Mr. Johnstone, on receiving this information, went over to Paris to obtain evidence on the subject; but it.was not The KING, about a quarter past eleven o'clock last till within a very short period of the pre sent time that night, arrived at Carlton Palace, from Windsor. His MAS such evidence was procured.

The person whom he hat :he honour to represent was a Nobleman of the strictest honour, who 4... proached the consideration of this painful subjeetwith every son: invent of regret. It had been imposed upon him as an imperious duty not to cast the slightest reflection either upon the Lady or the plaintiff in th's case. His client felt that he had a reparation to make, and he woeli willingly submit to such damages as the Jury, upon a fair con.ii, r ation of the facts of the ease, stripped of all adventitious colour. ing, might think proper to award. It was fit, however, it should be stated, and it was due to the defendant, that the Jury should know the fact, that whatever occurred between Mrs. Johnstone and Lord Brudenelle did not take place till long after the Lady had quitted her husband's protection. Whatever difficulty the defendant had to encounter, he at least had the satisfaction of knowing that he had violated no confid ence—and that, however he migt have been impressed with the beauty of the Lady who had become the partner of his cares, he could not accuse himself of having had recourse to the ordinary arts of the seducer. Under these circumstances, the question for the determination of the Jury was—to what reparation the plaintiff was entitled front the defendant for the injuries he bad received?— He was happy, in the consideration of this question, that he was Warming Gentlemen of experience, who had been frequently en gaged in the investigation of similar cases, and he thought he might confidently appeal to them, and ask, whether they had ever known a case brought under their notice in which there was less of cri minality or less of aggravation? There was, as he before said, no violation of confidence, no criminal seduction, no breach of friend ship—for not a single tittle of evidence had barn adduced to prove thrit Lord Brudenelle had ever entered the house of the plaintiff. It was admitted,too, that the wife in this instance was not attached to her husband, but had voluntarily quitted his society. These were circumstances, in his opinion, which ought to go greatly to miti pte the damages. Ile did not stand there to say that Lord Brudenelle Ind not formed a very violent and irresistible attachment for this Lady—for she was, as had been truly said, a Lady of great beauty and accomplishments—nor was he instructed to resist the payment of such damages as were fairly due; but it was impossible not to observe, although his Learned Friend had talked of the affectionate manner in which this couple had lived together, that not a single servant, male or female, had been called to support this statement. Indeed, the evidence of Admiral Tollentache went distinctly to prove the very reverse, fur he candidly admitted that the plaintiff and his daughter lived anything but happily ; and that within three months of their marriage a proposition was made for a separate maintenance. The Jury would also mark, that although married for six years, there had been but one child. It was not his inten tion, for, as lie had already stated, his instructions forbid hint, to say one word to the prejudice of Captain Johnstone ; but it was pretty clear that there was some paramount cause, distinct from any connection with the defendant, that induced Mrs. Johnstone to fly from the protection of her husband to that of her grandmother. It was under the protection of that Lady that she met the defendant. She was possessed of great per sonal charms, and her situation rendered her more particularly an object of solicitude. Under such circumstances, it was net ex traordinary that two young persons should forget what was due to their own happiness. He had, however, to repeat, that the plain tiff had sustained no loss—he had himself acquiesced in his wife's desire for a separate maintenance, and she had positively refused to return to his house. The Jury, weighing all these facts, would give such damages as appeared to them consistent with justice and the fair claims of the plaintiff.

The Warren again assumed its annual appearance of gaiety and splendour. The business of the day was conducted by General Sir John M'Leocl, Major Jones, Captain Wild, and Lieut.

She exhibited her extraordinary powers both in F.nglish and Italian airs with great effect. The play was Coriolanus. Mr. MACCFADY performed the hero in his usual manner ; hut under a great disadvantage. The introduction of songs between the Acts of a Tragedy, and especially by such a singer as CATALANI, must necessarily disturb the feelings of the audience, and give an appearance of flatness to the business of the Stage. The House was well filled, but not crowded. An extensive fraud has bees conifi.itted on the house of Mr. ROTHSCHILD, who has betn defrauded of bills to the amount of upwards of ten thousand pounds, which were negoclated through the means of a certain broker. A French merchant on 'Change, supposed to be a man of good respectability, desired a broker to ob tain for him bills on Paris to the above amount of Mr. It museum% which were accordingly negocia:ed: the Bills were delivered to the Frenchman on Friday last, and were to be paid for yesterday (Tuesday), but instead of Mr. Itorisacnima receiving the money for them,we understand a letter was given to the person who went for the cash, the contents of which we do not exactly know, but the French man is not to be found, and it is feared he has sent the bills, by ex press, to Paris to be presented for payment. Mr. Rornscrucis has sent off au express to his house at Paris not to pay them. The new Church of St. Matthew, at Brixton, was yesterday consecrated, and Divine Worship performed.
