This forenoon we received the Jamaica Royal Gazette
to the Bth of May, and the Courant to the 16th. The
former, in a Supplement and two Postscripts, extending
to thirty•two pages, contains copious extracts from the
E2glish Papers, and some intemperate articles from the
Colonial Journals, on the case of Mr. Su ITII, the Mis-
sionary. The Guiana Chronicle, after noticing the re-
mission of the sentence by his MAJESTY, says—

" Thus then arc the wicked allowed to excape through the
vacillating nature of those in power, and the influence of the bigotry
al arty. Fortunate, indeed, is it for the real friends of humanity,
tha the hand of strayzu removed the wretched criminal tb a place
of severer account, before this sentence was made known, which
would have given a license to indulge in all the criminalities of man-
kind in any other part of the world than this. Comfortable is it
for those who feel the happiness of respected laws, that the guilty
sun was ushered to another world, before he was let loose upon
this: A Traitor, rosinvoir convicted, and a Murderer, morally 50...
Agaia—" Why was not Thistlewood banished from Catu-street,
and called upon to enter into recognizances, not to follow up his
treasonable practices in any other part of London ? Why were nut
Haggarty and Holloway banished front Hounslow-heath, and
calkd upon to enter into recognizances not to commit murder upon
any of his Majesty's heaths for the future r
The writer concludes by declaring, that had the Go-
vernor put the sentence on Mr. SMITH into execution he
would have done an incalculable benefit to the Colony.
The Demerara Roma Gazette, on the other hand,
after vindicating the character of the Court Martial,
claims for his MAJESTY the royal prerogative of mercy,
and for the Governor approbation of his conduct in
recommending Mr. SMITH to mercy.
Tke Court of Policy of Demerara had passed votes
of thanks, and some more substantial proofs of their
approbation—in the shape of pieces of plate and swords
—to the principal Officers of the several Regiments
engaged in suppiessing the insurrection in that. Colony.
A considerable portion of the Jamaica Gazette is
filled with an account of a dispute between the Officers
of the 91st Regiment and two Gentlemen of Kingston,
relative to a point of etiquette on the celebration of the
KING's birth-day. The parties had, however, been
bound over to keep the peace.
The Gazette states, that Lieut.-Colonel DAWSON, the
account of whose death we were first able to contradict,
had arrived at Kingston in the FORTE frigate.
The Garcuat cutter, Lieutenant Cawernr, sailed from Port
Royal on the ad of May, for Carthagena, having on board dis-
patches from Vice-Admiral Sir LAWSENCI W. IlAterso, K.C.B.
for the Vice-President of Colombia.

The last intelligence from Mexico is of considerable
importance, and confirms our suspicions of the adven-
turer 'TUMOR, whose departure from this country for
Mexico, was first announced in the STAR. One or two
of our contemporaries were loud in their praises of the Ex-
EMPEROR. whose zeal and patriotism we were told were
to give tranquillity and independence to that interesting
portion of the New World. We never were admirers
of this usurper of the throne of MONTEZUMA, and con-
sidered him one of those soldiers of fortune who are
regardless of the means, so that they may gain their ob-
ject ; besides, we recollected that when the Mexicans
first began to throw off the yoke of Spain, he was for
some time in the service of the Royalists, when he dis-
tinguished himself by his cruelty towards the prisoners
who fell into his hands, few of whom he spared.—
The manner in which he raised himself, on the shoul-
ders of his soldiers, to the Emperorship of Mexico, and
the arbitrary and tyrannical conduct he pursued while
he possessed authority, were sufficient proofs of his am-
bition and his selfishness ; and when we found him
violating the compact by which he was so liberally pen-
sioned, and quitting England, we felt confident that his
mission boded no good to Mexico ; we did not, however,
think that his treachery went so far as the last accounts
from Mexico represent it to have gone. The intelli-
gence, which is derived via New York, is to the 19th of
April. It states that a conspiracy had been discovered
in favour of ITURBIDE, and that the leader of it had
been arrested and beheaded.
It appears that a Colonel Boom has been arrested
between Tampico and Mexico, in consequence of being
suspected of being an emissary of krunatne's ; he landed
at Tampico from England, and being refused a pass-
port by the Commandant of that place, he set off with-
out one. His papers were taken from him by the Con•
stitutional Alcalde, and sent back with himself to Tam-
pico. The suspicions as to human's's views, no less
than that of selling Mexico to Spain, had been con-
firmed by a private communication of the Ex-Emperor
ITunatoz, dated the id of November, 1823, to King
FERDINAND, and obtained through bribery, at Madrid,
by a friend of Mexican independence. ITURBIDS stated
to the King of Scam, that all his movements in Mexico
