We received last niglit a NVew Yorle paper of the 27tl ult. It contains an official coinmuniication from XAV. DE MEDINA, Esq., Colombian agent at Now York, of the Extraordinary Gazxete published at Panaina on the 1st of June, with the account of the defection of OLAXXETA from the Royal cause in Pcru, which has alrcady appeared in this paper.
