JAMAICA MAIL. KINGS FON, SEPT. 7. We understand that accounts have been received by the Packet, of Government having consented to make Annatto Bay a port of entry and clearance. \Ve are informed that the body of Runaway Ne groes, belonging to Nonsuch and Unity estates, in St. M try's. some time advertised in the Papers, and who were concerned in the rebellion raised on those properties in the month of March lag, have come into Spanish Town, and submitted themselves to his Honour the Lieutenant-Governor, entreating him to intercede for their pardon, and expressing their wish to return to their duty. We understand a letter has been wri ten in consequence, by his Honour's direc tion, money recommending to the gentlemen in pos session of the above estates, to pardon these unfortu nate people, as it appeared to him they were misled by Mr. Edwards and others, who headed the outra geeus proceedings, for whic h they have expressed their contrition; and we have no doubt his Honour's hu mane recommendation will he complied with. It is rather singular to remark, that so many Ne groes should have been so long ,runaways as these people have been, and parties of Maroons from dif ferent Maroon-towns, emplored nearly' four months In search of them, without discovering their lurking places, and not more than one or two of the original number (upwards of 80) were brought in by these Maroons. SEPT. 14.—A very heavy rain fell in this town and its vicinity on Thursday .afternoon. It commenced about four o'clock, and continued till about half-past ' six, dining which the great house on Saitspring estate was struck with lightning it shivered the pole to which a lightning rod had been attached, and stunned several Negroes then waiting at table, but fortunately no serious injury was sustained. The roads leading from the interior are dreadfully cut up, p.nd North and South Creeks were swelled to a very *Unusual height. Owing to the confined span of the arches over these outlets, the properties adjoining them Lave sustained some damage ; but we are happy to say no human lives have been lost ; the bodies of goats, hogs, and poultry, are stilifloating in abundance. Seer. 20.—The sloop Martha, of this port, belong ing to Mr. James Carpue, arrived at P-Ort Royal on Friday evening from Savannah la Mar. On the 9th, otr Pordae l i Point, she was chased, fired at, and brought re by an armed schooner, under American colours, and detained all night. In the morning at d yli 6 ht, the schooner hoisted a small French flag, Sint a boat on board the Martha, and took out her Maste-, an intelligent Negro, when she again heisted American colours, and both vessels bore away for Pedro Keys. On their arrival there they anchored, end the Commander of the privateer, whp spoke good nglish, ques:ioned the above Negro with respect to the course which Spanish vessels, trsding to Kings ton with specie, usually took, and seemed particularly anxious of obtaining correct information on this head; in the evening they returned to their former station. They detained the sloop for three days, when, after plundering her of several casks of castor oil, and £36 in cosh, they lherated her. The privateer ' carries 12 guns, besides two on pivots, aid 98 men, - most of whom speak English. • FRENCH PAPERS. 'ARIS, NOVEMBER It.

CONSTANTINOPLE, SEPT. 20. A general pillage was apprehended at Cairo on the the part of the soldiery, thirsty fqr blood, but the clanger was averted by the prudent measures of the niche. On the 27th of August there was a great CounCil of War held at the Turkish head.quarters, at which the GrandViiier presided. All the midtary chi, fs and the Ministers were present.

All the. preparat , ry measures were well taken. The passage was effected ab:,ve the village of Slo ,odse, with so little suspicion on the part of the enemy, tat the Ott man troops hid time sufficient to entrench tl,ernselves.

The state of our exchange is improving ; it is ho ped that it Will soon be up to 200, that is to say, that 200 flc.rins in bills of exchange will be paid for 100 in cash. Our stockjobbers do not appear, and the pollee have got such an insight into their practices, that they dare no longer continue them. This may be considered in the light of a victory, and the con sequence of it is, that me principal banking and coin mercial houses of this capital have acquired an in crease cf credit. It is distinctly perceived, that they second to their utmost the effoits of the Government, and that they are sincerely attached to the interests ottlie State. Count Wallis is still here, but he is about to return immediately to Presburg. Nothing decisive has taken place between the Turks and Russians. They remain in front of each other, without coming to such an engagement as would ter neinate the campaign. It would appear as if both sides were desirous of avoiding it as long as possible. The .grand Vizier flatters himself that he wiil compel the Russian army to evacuate Wallachia, by having re course to bold manoeuvres ; and General Count Ku tusow thinks that 'his army, from the manner in which it is stationed, will prey . t the Turks from p•- nevating into the interior s allachia, and that thus they will be obliged in a ittle time to resame their former position on the right bank of the Danube.

The Mayor of A msterdaro, conceiving that it would be r.f importance to transmit to the latest pos terity notice of the happy days of the sojourn of cur august Sovereigns in this city, and that their Ma jesties would vouchsafe to permit him to perpetuate the remembrance of that happy event, has ordereJ, that the place formerly called the Daun shoul.l be - henceforth called the place Napoleon : and that the Ygtach and Niewe Wals Etland, which form the most beautiful part of the harbour, should be called the Quai Marie Louise.

There can be no doubt but the sale draws strangers hither, and enlivens our city. if some letters from Presburg may be credited, the Diet of Hungary will close in November. M.

These have en trenched themselves on their frontier ; their principal force's near Banja, and on the Timock.

He immediately dispatched some rlttlans and. peasants to save the people on board ; but these persons, fits from being moved by such generosity, made the Hulans prisoners, and , wounded and pursued the peasants. " Captain Borrosditch, who witnessed the transac tion, and discovered that the vessel was English, and that she was prevented by contrary winds from get ting to sea, notwithstanding the effi its of the crew, embarked the half of his squadron in 13 boats, toge , ther with some peasants, armed with lances and 'pis upstol, and surrounded the vessel. The English kept a fire of grape j shot, but our boats did not advance with the less intrepidity, nor did they sustain any in jury. They soon attacked the enemy in a spirited STUTOARD, NOV. fc. A Decree of his Majesty, addressed to all the Ad ruisistrative Authorities of the Kingdom, is to the fiiilneving effect : '14.4 the King has thought proper to prohibit en tirely the pilgrimages of his subjects to foreign coun tries, inasmuch as they occasi,m people to neglect their domestic affairs, and the education of their children. Besides, these . pilgrimayes frequently give rise to disorder , which it ni trdvisafile to prevent.
