EST.4.ELISIINIENT OF PACKETS TO MEXICO, AND
COLopiniA.-:-The following communication has
been made by the Foreign Office on this sub-
ject, which is of high importance to the commer-
cial world

" Foreign Office, Avg. 18, 1824.

" GENTLEMEN—In answer to the letters which have been
addressed to this Department by the Merchants interested in
the commerce with Mexico and Colombia, relative to the Es-
tablishment of a regular Packet Communication with those
countries, I am directed by Mr. Secretary CANNING to ac.
quaint you, for the information of those parties, that his Ma-
jesty's Governinent have determined to establish a communi-
cation by packets with Vera Cruz in Mexico, and with Car.
thagena and La Guayra in Colombia, and.that hia Majesty's

THE VICE-CUANCELLOR.—In addition to the
satisfactory report of his Honour's health, which
last night declared him to be out of danger, we
have this day the gratification of stating that the
answer to" the numerous inquiries this morning
was, that his Honour continued rapidly to amend.
Should his health permit, it is said he will try the
effect of a sea voyage.

VISCOUNT Himouv.—This Nobleman died
yesterday morning at four o'clock, at his resi-
dence in Green-street,. Grosvenor-square. Thos.
Trevor Hampden, Viscount Hampden and Baron
Trevor of Bromham, was born on the -11th of
September, 1740 • he succeeded his father
Robert, the late Viscount, on the 22d of August,
1788. He was twice married, first (June 13,
1768), to Catherine, only daughter of General
David Grame, who died May 26, 1804 ; and se-
condly, to Miss Brown, the sister of Lady Wed-
derhurn, on the 12th of July, 1805. He is suc-
ceeded by his brother John, and was in his 84th
year.) '

NEWCASTLE•UPON..T Y N E.—We have a letter
this morning from Newcastle-upun-Tyne, dated the 19th inst.,
informing us of an attempt to introduce a cargo of foreign
*heat into that market. Sates, in' fact, had been effected Of a
considerable part of the cargo, and but for the acuteness of
some of the leading corn-merchants, whose attention was ar-
rested by the eagerness to make sales,
,(and the appearance of
the samples being that of foreign wheat) it is probable the nefarious
transaction might have passed undiscovered. Great credit, we
understand, is due to Mr. JOSEPH POLLARD, MT. REDIIEAD,
and the other corn-merchants, who promptly commenced an in-
vestigation into the affair. The result was such as to leave no
doubt that the affair in question was a smuggling transaction.
A Deputation immediately waited on Jtitix PITTs, Esq.
his Majesty's Warehouse Inspector for the' Nit, and after a
short examination of W. CART, the master of the vessel (the
Industry), and of another person, who appeared as proprietor of
the wheat, evidence sufficient was elicited to warrant the
King's Officers in making, a seizure of' both the vessel and
cargo.- Our readers will recollect something of a similar nature
occurring lately at Liverpool.

PARIS, AUG. Masson,junior, was yes-
terday tried before the Tribunal Correctional, for
having in his possession two, copies of Berenger's
sons printed at Brussels, with the addition of "a
seditious song called the Nouvel Ordre du Jour,
and also la rcligeusc de Diderot, le bon seas du
Cure Meslier, and ks Liaisons dangereass, pub-
lished without the name of the printer. lie had
before objected to the proceedings in point of law,
but his objections were overruled in the Superior
Courts, and the cause yesterday came on. The
public prosecutor required that, as Berenger's
songs were already condemned, he should be
sentenced to one year's imprisonment, and to pay
a fine of one thousand 'francs. The Court poct-
polled passing sentence till Friday.—(Journal
do's Debuts.)

The following is an extract of a letter from
Trieste, dated the 4th lint, :—.^44 The success of
the Turks against Ipsara has caused the greatest
consternation in- the 'Archipelago ; and as trea-
chery is supposed to have aided them in the at-
tack, we are apprehensive they will rapidly, pro-
ceed agitinSt the other islands, where they no
doubt have many secret friends. The Greeks
appear quite dismayed by the fall of Ipsata."
Accounts from St. Petersburgh, of a late date,
speak 'unfavourably of the weather ; it was both
cold and rainy. Advices from the. Crimea state;
that terrible devastations had been committed
there by immense swarms of locusts. 'The New
Bank at St. Petersburgh,' established for the ac-
commodation of the Nobility, who might borrow
money on hypothecating valuables of any de-
scription, had just commenced operations, and
promised to be an institution of great service.
A Commercial Letter from Riga states, that
very little buiness was done in that City anterior'
to the month of May, but in that month the value
of the goods exported amounted to 10,422,856
rubles. Thq imports, on the other hand, were
only 1,225,879 rubles.
We regret that M. BOMPLAND, the celebrated
botanist and companion of HUMBOLDT, is still a prisoner in
Paraguay, where he was confined upwards of two years ago, on
suspicion of being engaged in political instead of scientific pin..
suits. The powerful interference of the Emperor of IlitAzir.
in his favour has been solicited, and he has pledged himself to
use all his exertions to effect his liberation. '
The greatest anxiety has prevailed among the
dealers in grain and the farmers, as to the result
of the examination of the returns of the sale of
oats up to Saturday last, on the average struck
from which will depend the admission of foreign
'oats, or their exclusion from the market. Up to
yesterday evening,. however, after several days
spent in investigation, the averages have not been
struck. - Some returns are supposed by the pro-
per authorities to wear a very suspicious appear-
ance. Sales to the amount of 28,000 quarters
are strongly suspected of being fictitious. It is
said to be the intention of the Ministers in case
evidence of any fraud can be obtained, to put the
matter into the hands of the Attorney-General.--
(Morning Paper.)
The last letters from New South Wales state
that Mr. Cunningham., Botanical Collector for
Kew Gardens, has discovered a valuable tract of
country abounding in well watered plains, and
fine timbered land, to_ the north of Bathurst, and
a pass through a ridge of mountains, which stretch
east and west to Liverpool Plains, discovered by
Mr. Oxley in 1818. This latitudinal dividing
range is situated on•the other side of a. stream
named the Goulburn, and in many parts resem-
, blot the Blue Mountains, ,

THE BING.
WINDSOR, AUG. 20.—His MAJESTY and Suite took a
short airing in the Great Park, this day, before dinner. The
ride of the Royal Party was not so extensive as usual, owing
to the , threatening aspect of the weather. His Majesty con-
tinues in the unabated enjoyment of excellent health ; and ap-
pears to take great pleasure in employing the opportunities
which his present residence hffords of enjoying frequent exer-
cise amidst the delightful scenery, which the vicinity of the
Royal, Lodge presents. Yesterday morning, Mr. 1% yatville
left Windsor for London. This afternoon, the Band of the
Grenadier Guards plaved some exquisite pieces in the Long
Walk, from three until five o'clock.

The Spanish General Quiroga has been here some days. The
Russian Ambassador and Lord Alvanley had the honour of

Hotel, yesterday. Lord Alvanley left the Royal York Hotel
this morning for town.. The Countess of Mountnorris, who

tinuing at the Pavilion until Saturday se'nnight.

WonTimm, AUG. 19.—Our town is completely filled. A
host of beauty and fashion is here, recruiting by the invigorating
Rea-breezes from the dissipation of the London winter, and
laying in a stock of health to undergo the .fatigues of next
season. Among our visitors are—Lord Co utf wALLIS,_ Lard
li
ELLIOTT, Lord G. LErprox, and the Duchess of mn-
storm, Sir SACKVILLE I.lnowx, &c. &c. The theatre is
very well attended; Miss Cuotve is here, and appears to be a
greater favourite than ever with the good people of Worthing.
Her Rosetta and Clari have been much admired, and have re-
ceived the encouragement which her performance of them
merited. It is difficult to conceive a gayer scene than Worthing
now presents. If I have an opportunity I will write again before
-I return to town, but the general pleasure which reigns among
the visitors makes me reluctant to leave so agreeable a place.
