PORT ROYAL, AUGUST 1.

On Saturday, the following communication from
Sir L. W. llalsted, to his Honour the Mayor, was
posted in the Commercial Rooms:

" &LRAM. P 01? ROYAL, JULY O.

" Majesty's Consul-General in Mexico having ad-
dressed to me a ktter, of which the inclosed is a copy, I beg you
will please to make the same public, in the usual manner, for the
information of the merchants.

" L. AV. HALSTED, Rear-Admiral."

• " NIS UAJUTY'S CONSULATE•43IIiIIIAL.
" MEXICO, MAY 49.

" SIR--I have the honour to inclose a copy of a note I have re-
ceived from his Excellency M. Alalnan, Minister for Foreign Af-
fairs, dated the 14th instant, relative to a Resolution adopted by
this Government, not to admit into the ports of the Mexican Re-
public any cargo which shall arrive from Cayo Hero sixty days
after the receipt of the Circular of the Minister of Finance, which
bears date the Ilth of this month. This Resolution is adopted in
consequence of information that that hland is becoming a.
depot for Spanish produce from the Havannah, in order to
introduce it into the country, in contravention of the laws pro-
hibiting the importation of Spanish merchandise. Thompson's
Wand is meant by Cayo Hum, but as the Minister for Foreign
Affairs has not laid down the situation of It, I have requested a■
explanation. In the meantime I have to request you will be pleased
to give publicity to the order, so as to caution British traders
against the unpleasant consequence of its infraction.
" CHARLES T. O'GORBIA 11, Consul-General."

Several files of United States Papers, some of which
are to the 2d instant, have reached us. In a preceding
column we have given some extracts, by which it will
be seen that the disputes between Brazil and Buenos
Ayres ate just on the point cf breaking out into open
war, unless it should be averted by the good offices of
our Envoy to tEe Court of Rio deJaneire, Sir CHARLES
STUART. That the provinces of Rio de la Plata in-
tend to assist the inhabitants of Monte Video (which
was seized by the Portuguese Government cf Brazil
some years ago) there can be no doubt; but yet we can-
not but consider tl e steps taken by tl e Emperor of
BRAZIL as extremely rash and precipitate.

The United States Papers announce the approaching
departure of the French fleet direct for Fiance, thus
putting an end to all the conjectures about the occupa.
tion of Cuba, which were so freely hazarded both in
this country and in the West Indies.

A Baltimore Paper, cf the 2J of August, contains
an extract of a letter from Buenos Ayres, announcing
the arrival at the latter place of most of the unfortu-
nate Englishmen who h.td been so long shut up in
Paraguay. Some of them give a strange account of
the Director. Dr. Francis, who, they say, kills and con-
fiscates at his pleasure; and, without trial, shoots men,
like sparrows, by half-a-dczen in a morning. The
lantor, who was bred to the bar, and formerly pleaded
at Buenos Ayres, is seventy-two years of age.

His MAJESTY did not arrive in town to-day from
Windsor, as was expected.
