The order of the Mcxi- can Government, prohibiting all eomnme*ial intercourse [with this island, is rigidly enforced. We are now compelled to send ill goods, not Spanish, j Thompson's Illand, there to be sbippe{ in. Americkj vessels. ThoTnpson's Island is- situated. 70 miles north-west of this place, and has a consideribledepot of flodr and other necessaries. There is a custom-house, a collector, and other officers; and the island is.likely tobeco6ns a situation of much importance.

We are desired to say, that a statement in several of the daily papers, in wvbich it is' asserted that the charger which carried the Duke of .Wellington at the battle of WVaterloo hsd -been put into a taxed cart, is wholly false; and that,. on the contrary, this charger has never been out of his Grace's *possession, he being now at Stratfleldaaye, where the greatest careia taken, of hi m .

REMATtKAR LE ESC&r'E.-We seldom have had to notice 'a more remarkable circumstance than the following extraordinary escape from'deitraiction. A daughter of BIr. J. D. -Beaumont, of Maidttonb, being 'on a ibiit at' Flkestone, attempted on Stnday se'nnight t conducta yoag acquaintance down the .lifl'bya..very narrow path near the church, where the descent is almost perpendi. cular. She had not proceeded -more than three or. four steps, when lier head beconting giddv, sheiepitched forward and rolied to the eg of a-declivity, from whince she bound'ed to i smap rojectionnearly 50 feet below; from this spot Ahi rolled onward wit increasi ve'. locity tUl 'she reached the foot of tbe duff_a fall of. nearly lsOffeet;* and here ehe s pieked up coverea with blood, t4ough: not. a bone broken'!

Kent Herald C RELUStFOPD; Thursday.-The inhabitants of tht 1ower parts of thi.. town, in the more immediate: vicinity of-the rivers, are in i state ofthe greatest . consternation for the safety of thdr pro. perty. A flood has come on since nine-o'clock this morning which has-risen to such a height, that a parallel can scarce be founa on re- cord. The rapidityoJ thestreao m through.the bridge is unprece. dented, and the -rismg'of the water so unexpected, that the de. struction of property to a large aqiount, in our vicinity alone, .must be the consequene. From Mqr. Enight's, the.grocer, whose cel-- lars ire fil of water, to tho3e of Mr. Myers, the' pawnbroker, the waterissues from the doors,"passages, and gateways, in streams scarcely to be withstood; and.is ecveral feet deep upon the ground floor; the same scene preseats itself from the other side of the bridge. The only mesas of passing from the end of the Middle. rowto the top of Moulshain is, by the carriapes and carts, which are -plying vith passengers continually. At the early patt of the day attempts were made to stem the current, and, prevent its enter. ing the town, and some pers:oss imprudently shut their gates; this only added to the disasters of themselves and others, as the dams were soon forced. Since six o'clock, the waters have begun to re. cede. There are now 20 carts employed; all ranks of persons are seen to take advantage of them, to view the incursions of the,waterg through at least 100 bouses; the inmaltes of which are seen %ie*ing the motley groups fromtheir upper windows..-nChlnzsjrdC (%ronicle. -ANT1QU Bus rs, &c.-T3iere havejiist been discovered. wthin 33 miles of Romie, on tbe Via Nomentana,in .an estate be. longing to'the Princess Scrarra, souie antiquities of.great value.
