RBADOES% MAY 4. His Majesty's ships F.den• and Scout, returned on Sunday trot,: Para, having left that place imperfect tranquillity. We understand• the Scout was fired at by the fort, in passing up the river, but 4: couple of broadsides poured• in, made the Brazilians quickly repent of their temerity.  . .  His Majesty's critter' Swallow, arrived from Martivique ad.; morning. The French naval force is gradually assuming a respectable appearance in this quarter. We apprehend. three are now at Martinique, one ship of 80 guns, three of 0 guns, besides many vessels of smaller force, and a 74 gun ship at the aunts.  Letters dated the sth of May have been received fro the city of Mexico'; and from Alvarado, dated the 14.:!:. of the same month.
