mart, that the Anglo Mexican- mining 'concern - had
completely failed ; about,7oo,ooo/. sterling was ready at ,
Vera CrUz to be shipped to England to pay the in-
stallment due, on the Mexican Loan. A request had been
made to the Commander-in-Chief on the Jamaica station,
to send a frigate to take the specie, and to-grant a passage
to the Mexican Minister and his family. The Hussar,.
Captain Harris, it is said, will, on her return from Barba-
does, proceed to Vera Crua for the purpose.
Other accounts have been received from Vera Cruz-to
the 4th of June, at which time the place still remained sickly,
and little or no business doing. A convoy from Mexico
was expected by the middle of the following month, when
it was hoped that trade would revive. Specie was never
known so scarce as when the accounts left.

Vie Ayacucho arrived yesterday from thP Pacific.
She% said to have sailed from Lima on the 19th of
May, but we apprehend that there must be some
mistake in this date.

Advices, received by this vessel, state that the Peru-
vian Congress bad commenced' its sittings. BOLL VAR
was in. Lima at the time of the Ayacucho's departure,
but nothing important had occurred. Trade was ui a
very stagnant state.
His MAJESTY'S ship planche is said to hsi'e nailed
for England, from Lima, about the 7th of. May.
Since writing the above, we understand that files of
Lima Papers have been this morning received at the
North and South American Coffee-house, to the 13th
May, inclusive, from which it appears that BoLI V Aft
had called the Deputies together, for the purpose of
forming a congress, to regulate the form of Govern-
ment of the Republic. On their meeting, some of
the Deputies refused to take the oath, in the form di-
rected by the Liberator, whilst others, 52 in number,
. addressed him, requesting he would continue to hold the
powers of Goverment, with which he had been invested,
foranother year. Bo LI VAR had acceded to their wishes,
observing, that the welfare of all the South American
States was connected so closely, that he would remain
the period they requested, for the purpose of fixingthe
form of Government on a firm buts ; although he ex
pressed his desire and anxiety to return to , his native
country, Colombia. His wishes on this subject
will be much increased when he hears of the
events which have taken place in Valencia, and the de-
fection of General PAEZ.

We received last night Dutch Papers of the
2 c 1
inst. They contain intelligence from Batavia t° the
14th of April. The war with the Javanese in the
upper country was going on favourably, and the rebels
were said to be surrounded, as far as the nature of the
country would permit ; but it was added, that no fur-
ther number of troops could be sent against them, until
reinforcements, arrive from Europe.
The Board of Health at Groningen published on
the 17th inst. a long statement respecting the fevers
prevalent there, declaring that the reports that have
been spread in other places respecting the nature of
the diseases are entirely incorrect—that the fevers are
the usual description of{ bilious fevers, which have often
afflicted that and other provinces in former years but
that they are not in the slightest degree contagious,
nor are more persons seizes than on former occastoos.

A. Report of the Commissioners of Inquiry at "1:
Cape of Good Hopei upon the complaints addressed
to the 'Colonial Government, and to the Earl
BATHURST, by Mr. Bishop BURNETT,
has been pu
lished ; and notwithstanding its iinnierise length ,4"hd-
,
its little interest to general readers, we feel ourgiv%
compelled to insert it in our columns,both on accn
of the calumnicswhich have been circulated respecting
the treatment of Mr. BURNETT, and of the prOb3l)l'
lily that the subject will still be matter of conversation;
if not of other proceedings. It appears to Ili h:
Mr. BURNETT is one of those factious and o'"'nf•
:
headed persons who are*
constantly finding iinsgio'olf
'grievances, and acting under the influence of oleo
to
suppoSed wrongs and insults, with high notions

~06t
Such a man is a nuisance in private society, an",ivm,y,
be so, to an insufferable degree, in a distant Cc:, -ow
where party spirit has its full sway over minds e
tracted habits ; and arrogance and ignorance g° ha.
in hand. the
We shall only add, that the general tenor t).
se.
Report is so much against Mr. BURNETT, that it
pears he finds himself compelled to request thel he°
to suspend their judgment on the subject until
published a reply to the statements contained in it.
