Dispatches were received this morning at the Colo-
nial Office, from Sir RALPH WOODFORD, the Governor
of Trinidad, dated the 27th of June, at which period
evcrything was tranquil in the colony.

This forneoon we received a file of New York Papers
to the 25th ult. One of them announces the arrival
of a French Commissioner to Mexico, who appears to
excite great suspicion with the American Editor. These
'Japers do not confirm as piece or Mexican intelligence
which has appeared in some of the London Papers, pro-
fessing to come from New York, and comtnunicating
the successful result of General BRAVO'S expedition to
Cuadalaxara. The advices from the city of Mexico
ate-to the 16th of June, being ten days later than those
previously received. The most recent accounts of Ge-
neral BRAVO'S expedition were to the 6th of June, dated
from his head-quarters at La Berea, where he had issued
two proclamations to his troops, dated on the Ist and
2d of that month. The authorities of Jalisco, on their
side, were exerting themselves for the defence of Gua-
dalazara against General BRAVO. General VICTORIA
arrived in the Mexican capital on the 15th of June,
where the Government, notwithstanding the difficult
circumstances in which it was placed, was proceed-
ing tranquilly, and with order, in the discharge of
its functions. The Congress was employed in discuss-
ing subjects of public economy, and details of adminis-
tration. Measurei, it appears, have at length been taken
for the punishment of the conspirators in favour of
hunniun, arrested in the night of the 9th of May.—
On the 6th of June the regular " council of war," or
court-martial, sentenced to death Brigadier-General
HERNANDEZ, and Don FRANCISCO SANTOYO ; con-
demned General ANDRADE to the loss of his rank and
five years' exile, and the rest of the persons apprehended
to perpetual banishment. The Mexican journal, El Sol,
of the llth of June, announces that the Supreme Exe-
cutive Power had determined that the culprits con-
demned to different punishments for participating in the
conspiracy, should be sent to Acapulco, in order that
their sentences might be carried into effect, and that
such of them as had appealed to the Sovereign Con-
gress for a commutation of the punishment of death,
should be kept in the castle, there to await the result of
their application. The fact of the arrival of a French
Commissioner was officially communicated to the Sove-
reign Congress on the Ist of June, but no mention is
made subsequently of any passports for the capital
having been forwarded to him. A vessel arrived at
Philadelphia on the 20th of July, in nineteen days from
Alvarado, Which consequently sailed on the ht, but
brought no additional intelligence.
By accounts from Havannali of the Rah ult. received
at Baltimore, it appears that there were in the former
Ott no less than eleven fast-sailing vessels, well armed,
fitting out for the African coast for negroes, intending
to take advantage of the rainy season, when armed
vessels are fearful of visiting the coast on account of
the sickness prevailing at that period ! A vessel, called
the Ganges, had arrived at New York, bringing dis-
patches from Mr. MlntrurroN, the American Minister
at Petershurgh, among which was understood to be in-
cludes' the treaty by which the Russian Government has
abandoned its claim to any maritime rights on the west
coast of North America. ft is a cUriutis circumstance that

the bearer of these dispatches

The following are extracts : •
FROM TILE NEW YOUCO-kIIKL4T4 ittLY 24.•
By an Express arrived *e da/ before yes' oi4Peat Jalapa, the
Supreme RitecutiVe rearmed dilitatchwe64 mGet eral Victoria;
stating the arrival of a French brig of war, with a Commissioner

from the King of France, bearing credentials to our Government.
—The Commander of the brig waited on General Hinton, who
assured him, that not only was there no squadron at Martinique
destined to assail in any manner our independence, but that the
French Government desired only to establish with the Mexican
Republic relations of amity and commerce, without ever assisting
Spain: The Commissioner wanted the necessary passports from
General Victoria, to proceed to Jalapa. The French Cabinet are
either playing a double game of perfidy, or a treacherous one to
Mexico alone. Their Commissioner is in all likelihood • a spy
and emissary.
