The Queen has been pleased to appoint the Right Honourable

Henry Ellis to proceed on an extraordinary and special mission to the Court of his Majesty the Emperor of Brazil.—London Gazette, Sept. 23.

Last night's Gazette contains a notification, that up to the 21st of June no effective steps had been taken by Texas to maintain the blockade of the Mexican ports ; and therefore the blockade declared on the 26th of March is held by the British Government to be null and of no effect.
