WEST INDIES.

The Royal Mail Steam-packet Company's ship Medway, Captain
Andrews, arrived at Southampton at eleven o'clock on Thursday
evening, after a voyage of thirteen days, from Bermuda.
She brings ninety-four passengers and the usual mails. Her
dates are as follows :—Vera Cruz, June 1; Havannah, June 10 ;
Jamaica, June 8 ; Demerara, June 4 ; Barbadoes, June 8 ; Gre-
nada, June 10 ; Bermuda, June 20 ; and Antigua, June 11. She
also brings the following on freight :-1,238,406 dollars; 3,000 oz.
of silver; 1,618 oz. of gold and gold dust; 138 serons of cochineal;
•246 dozen of pines; 40 turtles ; 20 cases of vanilla; and 25 bales
of jalap.

214 Coolies, five having died, arrived at Trinidad shortly before
the Medway left in the Fatel Rosack, 98 days from Calcutta. The
arrival gave great satisfaction to the agriculturalists.
The troops appear to be healthy at all the islands.

The ex.Pre.ident, General Santa Anna, embarked en board the
Medway, from the River Antigua, 13 miles N.W.or Vera Cruz;
he was sent down with an escort of 200 cavalry as a prisoner; he
was unattended except by his brother, nephew, and wife, with
some others of his family. The lady who accompanied him is his
second wife, a young and pretty woman, of about 16. It ap-
pears he was sentenced to leave the country, and his property
confiscated; he had very considerable sums of money with him.
but a greater part of it was stopped, though lie ultimately retained
a large sura in his possession. Santa Anna stated he was going to
Venezuela, but it was not credited. He left the Medway at
Havannah.

We have Jamaica papers to the 7th of June, by which we learn
that the island has been favoured with the most propitious season
for very many years past. The accounts of the sugar cultivation
continue to be highly favourable; the wet weather may possibly
impede the manufacture of this year's crop, but would be of vast
benefit to that of next year. The few Hill Coolies that had ar-
rived continued to give the highest satisfaction ; they work cheer-
fully, industriously, and indefatigably, and it is eonsidered will be a
great boon to the colonists.

MEXICO, MAY 30.—The Mexican Senate, by a majority of 30 to
6, and the Deputies, by 41 to 13, have authorised the Government
to nego►iate and conclude a treaty for the recognition of the in-
dependence of Texas.
Mexico was perfectly quiet.
The Minister of the United States, Mr. Shannon, has at length
demanded his passports, and withdrawn from Mexico.
A gereral amnesty has been proclaimed. Banta Anna submits
to exile for life in Venezuela.

The accounts frAn Jamaica, and other of the West India
islands, notice the prevalence of more moist weather, so
much needed in Barbadoes. Most of the colonies were re-
ceiving supplies of emigrants from the East Indies, and some
few continued to arrive from Africa.

settlement Government on the Mosquito shore,
hatlhee of a steadycOmplet and the.young King had been duly
