To thi. account the Trinidad Gee:tile of the :30111 ult. furnishes us with the following : " By a launch which arrived yesteiday evening from Barce lona, we learn that a French national brig (no doubt one of the expresses mentioned itt Lord Coll ing ood's dispatches) had arrived at La Guira, with a number of Officers on-board, civil and military, bearing orders from Bonaparte, sanctieined by the K lug, his prisoner, to supersede the present administration of Government, and to establish the reign of the hew ityuasty in that Province.
