PROM THE DEMERARA iIAIEETTE. GECIP.GETOWN, APRIL 12. Ihtelligence of rather an unpleasant nature, concern ing the conduct of the negroes on the east coast, reached town this morning, which induc 2d his Excellency the Governor to turn out the George-town brigade of Mili tia, and to place a guard at the Colony-house. The battalion were ordered to hold themselves in rea diness at a moment's notice. A proclamation from head-quartets appears below, regulating the period,, &c. during which the taster Fes tival is to be observed by the neg roes generally through out the colony. Those on the east coast are not to be allowed any indulgence whatsoever. The reports regarding the intelligence we have just hinted at are so contradictory, that we do not feel our selves justified in stating what we have heard, even from sources which, under other circumstances, might be considered as tolerably authentic. It may not be amiss, however, to state a fact, generally credited, that some plots, and of an extensive nature too, have been discovered, which were to have made this colony ano ther seat of warfare on Easter Monday, the 1 9th inst. The measures adopted by Government will probably enable us to state something decisive on this point in our next. " PROCLAMATION_ " By his Eltceitency Major-General John Nlurrzy, Lieutenant- Governor and Ccrmnunider-in-Chief in and Gver the United Co- limy of Demerara and Essequibo, &c. &c. &c. " Whereas the conduct of the slaves within this United Colony ('ave only and except those resident on the east sea coast thereof, from Georgetown to 31aliaica Creek) have been such as to render them worthy of being allowed the usual indulgence of Easter holy days, at the approaching season, I have thought fit to issue this my Proclamation, hereby authorising all persons, having charge of slaves within this settlement, to allow such slaves the indulgences un such occasions customary—namely the Kistit holydays shall commence on Sunday morning next, the lath instant, being Easter Sunday, and ►hall be at an end on Monday evening, the 19th inst. after which no dancing shall, on any pretext, or in any district, be allowed. " And whereas the conduct of the slaves on the east sea coast path been such, of late, as to render it dangerous to the peace of the settlement to allow them to congregate in any manner; and, to debar thent from any claim to the indulgences which it is deemed expedient to allow to wrll•disposed slaves, beyond what is doe to thl: Sabbath, I do hereby peremptorily forbid all proprietors, attor ries, manLgers, ov‘ri•eers, or othess whom it may concern, on any account to admit of any holydays or indulgences, of whatsoever kind they may he, among the slaves on the estates situated between Georgetown and Alahaica Creek, as they shall answer to the contrary.

Those who watch the Stock Exchange, need not to be told, that about settling-day the City is always fer tile in rumours. To-day it has been "currently reported on 'Change," that the King of FRANCE is seriously in disposed; that the King of PORTUGAL is on board a 131itish man of war in the Tagus ; and that our Govern ment is fitting out an expedition of six vessels; none of which reports, we believe, have the slightest foun dation in truth. This morning we received the Allgemeine Zeitung of the 18th inst. and the Austrian Observer to the 15th. The latter contains short notes from Vienna and Corfu, mentioning the death of Lord Byron. The following are extracts : CORFU, APRIL )2. The Corjit Gazette of April 10th contains the following ~ PItOCLAMATION. " Sir Frederick Adam, Grand Cross of the Order of St. Michael and St. George, Commander of the Order of the Bath, Knight of the Austrian Military Order of Maria Theresa, and of the Russian Order of St. Ann of the First Class, Lieutenant-General, Commandei-in. Chief of Ins liritatinic majesty's troops in the lonian Islands, and Lord High Commissioner for his Majesty in tl:e United States of the lonian Islands, &c. &c. " His Excellency having received a dispatch from Earl Bathurst, Secretary of State for the Colonies of his 'Majesty the King of Great -Britain, in which he is informed that his Majesty has been graciously pleased' to appoint him, in the room of the late Sir Thomas Maitland, to the post of Lord High Commissioner, for the supreme protection of the United States of the lonian Islands ; and his Excellency having officially announced this nomination to the President and the Senate, his Excellency communicates it to the Public by the present Proclamation, which shall serve as a guide to the in habitants of the lonian Islands, and to all whom it may concern. " His Excellency, on entering upon the office graciously confided to him by his Majesty, and thereby becoming the organ of his Alajesty's increasing paternal care for the inhabitants of these islands, cannot conceal his want (A - confidence in his ability to execute these benevolent intentions ; and this distrust is the more increased when he reflects that he has been chosen by his Alajesty to succeed the distinguished person whose memory will be 'ever dear ho these islands, arid whose loss can be no more adequately repaixtd, than.sufEciently lamented. " But while his Excellency k profounally and sin cerely penetrated by these feelings, he cherishes the con fidence that he shall be able, at least to a certain de gree, to fulfil the benevolent intentions of the Supreme Protector, as his efforts will be directed to act on the same principles, and in the same spirit, which guided all the actions of his esteemed predecessor, in fulfilling hi, Majesty's intentions. " His Excellency the Lord High Commissioner, also derives courage from the perfect conviction that every endeavour, which has for its object the welfare and prosperity of the lonian people, will find an tifeetw:l support in the wisdom of the executive power, and the patriotism of the lonian Parliament; and that the zeal of the Government in promoting the welfare of the lonian people, will produce the happiest reuilts, se conded by the fidelity and attachment which this people have always manifested towards their Government and their Supreme Protector, to whose paternal care they are indebted for the Constitution under which they live. " The present Proclarnation shall be printed in the English, Greek, and Italian languages, and made gene rally known to the Public. " Given at the Palace, Corfu, April 10, Iftl4. " By commando( his Excellency, (Signed) " THOMAS LANE. " Private Secretary to the Lord High Commissioner." ODESSA, APRIL 9.R. According to accounts from Constantinople of the 20th instant, Lord Strangford is said to have gained rather more influence with the Poi te, because, as they affilm,'.lle has promised the Turkish Ministry that all officers in the English service, who were with Lord Byron, or in general among the Greeks, shall be re called by an order of the King of England ; and that if they do not obey, they will be deprived of their pay and their commissions. The Divan, as we hear, has been pleased with this determination, and a belief was again excited that the Noble Lord, after presenting his Note respecting the evacuation of Moldavia and Wal lachia, will at length attain the object of his long and zealous exertions. BUCHAREST, MAY 4. Tartars from Constantinople have just brought us the news that the Divan has consented to the evacua tion of the Principalities. The Austrian Consul imme diately sent an express to Vienna with the news ; but as this evacuation has been so often announced, it is no wonder that many persons still zefuse to believe it, though this time they are probably mistaken. New York Papers to the 27411, and Philadelphia Pa pers to the '2lst ult. have been received, being two days later than the previous accounts. By the Ardent schooner, arrived at Baltimore on the 22,1, in twenty-two days from Porto Bello, information had been received that a Colombian squadron of sir. sail had arrived at Porto Bello on the 26th of March, from Maracaibo and Car thagena, and landed 1,500 troops, who crossed over to Panama. A letter received at Porto Bello, dated the 26th of March, stated that a vessel had arrived on the opposite coast from Callao, bringing information that the Royal Spanish army had made proposals to Bouvit a to capitulate, on condition of being sent to Panama to cross to the Atlantic. Letters from Laguayra, of the 16th of March, mention the arrival tkere of a French sloop of war, in six days, from Martinique, having on board a French Consul, to reside in Laguayra. PHILADELPHIA, APRIL 2U. The Constitution, one of the Baltimore line, which had the mail on board, left that city at the usual time yesterday, say five in the afternoon, on her route down. When off North Point, saw a steam-boat with a signal of distress flying, enveloped in smoke; bore down, hailed, and found it was the Eagle, Captain Weems, on her first trip from Annapolis to Baltimore, having, un fortunately, burst her boiler about fifteen minutes before, which occasioned the death of one man, a sol- dier, who had recently been discharged, and five per sons wounded, some of whom dangerously ; the boat on fire, and a complete wreck. Captain Robinson, of the Constitution, at the urgent request of the unfortu nate survivors, and after consulting his passengers, took the boat in tow, and returned to Baltimore for medical aid, and left these at nearly one this morning. Had not the Constitution fostunately fell in %id) this vessel, the great probabiiity is that in less than an hour she would have burnt to the water's edge, and every soul on board peri,hed, as it was nearly dark when this circumstance occurred. Tie folLywing extract of a letter from the Agents to Lloyd's, at Genoa, dated the 15th instant, is calculated to allay the uneasiness which the recent intelligence from Alexandria excited in the commercial world : " Information has arrived at Malta, stating that the Admiral, previous to his sailing for Algiers, had received intelligence of the arrival of a squadron of men-of-war at Alexandria, avid had sent off one of hi; cruizers to reconnoitre them." We regret to learn, that while an increased liberality is manifested in EnglanJ, opening the Public Institu• tions, a contrary disposition is displayed in France, vvlicre access to everything worth seeing was formerly so easy ; and at the very time that the only national collcctiun of pictures we possess, the Angerstein gallery, is thrown open to the Public, the Louvre, in Paris, is closed. This we learn by the following extract from a private late, from Paris: " PARIS, MAY IL . 4 Our countrymen who intend to visit this metropolis, for pur poses either of amusement or curiosity, will be surprised, upon their arrival, at the difficulty of access to all the public places, which are more immediately under the superintendence of Govern ment.
