BARBADOES. BRIDGETOWN, MAY la. Martial law is still in force. Our militia Ire nine! , liarassed by the constant and vigilant guard they are forced to keep, and by their frequent march about the country in search of the inturgents, and in escort log those that are to be hung to their diffaent places •f execution on their owners' plantations. The great number of prisoners on board the prison, ships require a pr.rpetualguard. The processes of their trials in the Court of Inquiry and in the Courts Martial goon hut slowly, and we do not know when it will be safe for the inhabitants to put an end to martial law. All the neighbouring islands from which we have heard were put under martial law as soon as they received intelligence of the insurrection in Harba.ines. The slav't•s in those islands and in Demerara were secretly apprized of the plan laid, and were only waiting to hear of its success to follow the example of the negroes.. In e cJurse of their trials some of them confessed that they had taken a dreadful oath., cemented by the taste of human blood, tollestroy the white men, but to preserve the women and children. About 1000 of the insurgents have already lost their lives,- The slaves chew much sulkiness, who remain quiet, and keep at their work. Another 1 tter in►orms us, that numbers of negroes Mare been shot and otherwise destroyed, and a great many more remain to be executed.. They were brought in by dozens every day. 11.1.11LURGii NAPLES, JUNE 30. Great activity prevails in oar dock-yards and arsenals.

Several vessels have landed in the Gulf hlanfredonia some persons who escaped from the massscre at Algiers and Tunis.—A Barbary corsair foundered before Barletea.

CON• rANTINOPI.r, MAY 18. On the filth of May, a youth cf IS years of arse, of the Greek nation, died an lieto;c death. This youth, who lived at Citrutschesene, on the channel of Constantinople, had at an unfortunate moment gone *mer to the Mahometan religion, but soon repented of this step, and returned into die pale of the old Greek Church. He was summoned before the Grand Vizier, who upbraided him with relipions perjury. On his replying that he was born a Chris tian and resolved so to die, he was e.inditcted to ht Istarnhol Effende (Jodge of Constantinople), to he again instructed by him in the Mahometan religion, but he declined being instructed, and even went so far as to advise the Judge to turn Cnristian himself : be was upon this beheaded, on'the I Ith of May. fRANKfOR r.

By the immense fall of rain and water-srouts, up the country, the Maine has risen so high by' our city, that the water enters at several gates—a thing almost unparalleled in the annals of Frankfurt, at this season. _ _ Nothing further is yet known concerning the for. mai opening of the Diet ; the opening of the preli. urinary Conferences seems, however, to be not distant. The disrntes between the King and the States of Wortemberg seem further than ever from :;n ami cable conclusion.. The States, beskies otf.er remon strance, presented, on the 18th June, a Note to the King, respecting the new estab:isiied Sinking Fund : they acknowledge the beneficent intuitions of the Decree f his Majesty, but point out several defects in the plan, and declare the whole as unconstitutional and arbitrary ; to be quite incompatible with the . • rights of the States; and therefore definitively reject-1 ed and invalid. On the 24th, the King addressed al . - Rescript to the States, in which, after severely re-1 proving their mode of proceeding, and repeating his w i s h to give his kingdom a free and durable Consti.l lotion, he tells them they have no right to interfere in die Government, but must wholly limit themselves to assisting in forming such a Constitution ; and that' therefore no attention will be paid to any Note, Re-' monstrance,. or Representation on their part, which is not absolutely confined to that object.

It is mentioned in one of the Journals, that the Dev of ALGIERS is on the hest terms with the French !

We learn from Berne, that the continuance of the rains and the accumulatir,n of the waters for.want of proper drainage, have caused new devtstations in various parts of the Continent. The small town of Nydau was inundated for several days by the over flowing of the Thielle. Counvilor Luternau and M. de Msmalt de Thoune have been sent by the Gl vernment in order to enquire into the disaster and apply a remedy. It is added that Neuveville and .several other places near the Lake of Bienne and L9ke Marna, are similarly circormtanced.

This brave officer, having fallen in with two pirates, fought them with great courage, but when no longer able to defend himself he threw himself into a boat, with his crew, and.succeeded in saving them, not whilst:lndic; the enemy's fire. He has saved all his money, and has purchased another vessel, which is already loaded.
