Intelligence that on the 21st of March La
Serna, the Royalist General and ex-Viceroy
of Peru, had resigned the command of the
Royalist 'army, in consequence of his' ridhe:
sion to absolute monarchy--a step which could
only have been rendered imperative upon him
by the existence of a contrary sentiment in the
Spanish army generally. With respect to
Mexican news, as communicated by the New
York papers, the most important part is, that ac-
cording to letters from Alvarado of the Ist and
10th of July, General BRAVO had entered the
city of Guadalaxara without resistance, and amidst
general rejoicings. This intelligence is confirmed
by letters from Tampico of the 3d of July,
which were received at Liverpool, together with
the papers fromNewYork, and which mention fur-
ther that the famous Guerilla Chief, GOMER, who
infested the roads between Mexico and the coast,
had submitted to the Government, so that the
interior was considered in a more perfect state of
tranquility than it had been for a very long period.
It is remarkable, that these papers do not con-
tain any news of ITun nun, although ample time
has elapsed for that purpose.

We have received the Demerara Royal Gazelle
to the lflth of July. The colony remained tran-
quil. We perceived, in the Gazette of the 15th,
a notice from the Rev. W. S. AUSTIN, that he and
his lady intended quitting the colony in 14 days
or six weeks from that date. 'rho Post-office
packet arrived on the 15th : it brought papers
containing the first portion of the debate in the
House of Commons on the subject of the late
Missionary Smith. Not any of the speeches de-
livered on the occasion, however, are inserted in
the colonial papers. " The inflammatory nature
of Mr. BROUGHAM'S speech," says the Royal
Gazelle, " has induced us to decline giving it."
Much impatience was manifested among the
colonists for the arrival of the conclusion of the
debate. The Rev. W. S. AUSTIN and his lady
arrived at Liverpool on Thursday last, in the
Scajbrih, from Demerara.

Yesterday afternoon, at four o'clock, the Duke
of Yowa held a Levee as Commander-in-Chief,
at his Office in the Horse Guards, which was at-
tended by between forty and fifty Military
Officers.
Prince POLIGNAC, the French Ambassador,
transacted business for a considerable period of
time with Mr. Secretary CANNING yesterday, at
the Foreign Office.
The Duke of CLARENCE is expected to leave
Bushey this day, for Chatham.
Yesterday afternoon, the CHANCELLOR of the
EXCHEQUER and Lady SARAH ROBINSON arrived
at their residence in Downing-street, from their
seat at Noctou, in Lincolnshire, and shortly af-
terwards proceeded to the residence of Mr.
WILMOT HORTON, at Sudbrooke, on a visit to
that Gentleman for a few days.
Letters have been received from Maranham to
the 14th of July, at which period the place en-
joyed comparative tranquillity. Some disturb-
ances had broken out at Ceara, and several per-
sons had left it and repaired to Maranham.
A report prevailed yesterday that ITURBIDE
had arrived off' Vera Cruz, and sent in a flag of
truce to San Juan de Ulloa, but it was not cre-
dited.

The Gazette of last night does not contain a
single notice of bankruptcy.
THEIR LATE SANDWICH MAJESTIES.—Last
night, at ten o'clock, the remains of the late un-
fortunate King and Queen of the SANDWICH

iSLANGS were removed from the vault in St.
Martin's church, in which they had been de-
posited since their decease, and conveyed in two
hearses to the London Docks, where they will
be this day embarked on board tile vessel which
is to carry the corpses back to the Royal resi-
dence at Woahoo. The hearses were followed
by two mourning coaches, in which were Poki,
the Treasurer, and his wife, Rives, the inter-
preter, and the other members of the deceased
King's suite.—(Morning Paper.)
It appears from the New York Papers received
yesterday, that General LAFAYETTE arrived in
good health at New York on the 15th of August,
after a voyage of 31 days from Havre. These
papers mention also the arrival of the three
young Englishmen, Hon. E. G. Stanley, Mr. J. S.
Wortley, jun., and Mr. J. E. Denison, Members
of Parliament, at Albany, in the state of New
York. They arrived on the 2(1 of August.
MARGATE, SEPTEMBER 7.—Yesterday a young
gentleman hired a boat, and, accompanied by

the proprietor, took a sail to the Hem'lvers.
A squall arose, the boat was upset, and both went
to the bottom. The young man had promising
expectations, and was just of age. He was ac-
companied by his sister at Margate. Fifteen
pounds have been offered as a reward for finding
his body, but neither body has yet been found.
This melancholy event has of course excited
great anxiety at Margate and the neighbourhood.
A few nights ago, John Flaherty, a skindresser,
Plough-court, Fetter-lane, and his wife, retired
to rest at the usual hour with their two children,
the younger only two months old. A bout twelve
o'clock at night, they were awoke by the screams
of the younger infant; the mother got up and
procured a light, when, to her horror and asto-
nishment, she discovered that the left temple of
the child had been lacerate 4 by rats in a shocking
manner. She carried the child instantly to Mr,
Coombe, surgeon, Fetter-lane, who dressed the
wounds, and on the following morning she took
it to St. Bartholomew's Hospital. The infant,
we are glad to say, is doing well, but it is the
opinion of the medical gentlemen that had the
vermin inflicted the wounds higher up on the
head) the child could not have survived.
