The following. partictdats of the la re dreadful Insurredion a, Dominica may be depended upon On Friday the 9th inst. in the evening, an In- surrediOn 'took place in the Bth West-India Regi ment stationed at Prince Rupert's, Dominica. The Mutiny broke out first at Fort Shirley, where the - Mutineers commenced a musquetry fire..irt all directions. Major Gordon; who was in a house. adjoining the Fort with Lieut. Mackie, , imme. diately rushed out, and endeavoured to form,the. guard, during which they were fired upon and Lieut. Mackie was killed. Capt. camernreandl?,n sign Wasteneys the Commissary and the Serjeant in the Quarter. Master General's department,: were also killed.' They at the same time also desperately . wounded the Clerk of the Cheque. :Capt. Ca meron was shot by his own servant.: Ensign Wasteneys, a very young man, .was . his hands tied, and dragged ,b3r the feet from the outer to the inner Cabrit, where they tied him: to a tree, and after whipping him, sticking-seve. ral bayonets in his body, and keeping him three hours in that situation, shot him, cut of; his ears, and otherwi3t znutilate,l him. Some of the Officers, with the Ordnance Store-keeper, made their .es: apt through a sally-port which leads. from_the lines to the sea ; they had a guard to pass, and on their . appearing, the sentry ordered them to stop, " as no white men were to pass that way ;" on which the Ordnance Store-keeper drew his sword, and going up to the .sentry, threatened him with instant death, if 'he - refused to let thempass ;_ on which he complied : they repeatedly' called out for Major Gordon, and dethanded :his head; but after a fruitless attempt to stop the Mutiny, he had escaped. Captain Bar and Lieutenants Ca meron and Rivington fell into their hands . ;. they confined them, but treated. them with resped.— The Detachthent of Royal Artillery - stationed there, made their escape. The Surgeon and his wife were in bed when the Mutiny broke out, but after two shots had been fired' through their room, made their escape, and •by the greatest :exertions in descending the precipice through brambles and brushwood, reached a rock, from which they were taken off •at day-light by a boat from the Mag nificent, almost dead with apprehension, fatigue, and the lacerations they had experienced in their descent. The other Ladies (three or four) fell into the hands of the Mutineers. The Mutineers were . entirely composed of Africans ; the Creoles to a man had nothiAg to , do with it, several of whom made their escape at the moment the insurrection broke oat, .and sought shelter oti board the Men of War by swimming, and in -snch canoes; as they could find. In the interval between Friday night and Monday morning, they Offered . to. riegociate with Capt. Giffard'of the Magnificent, who re fused to ,have any thing to do with them. On Monday morning General Johnstone arrived with the Royals, the 68th Regiment and some'Militia, the Marines were also landed from the Men 'of War. After Lieut. Cameron had been 'sent by them with several Flags of Truce, they agreed to come to their Parade (between - the two Ca. brits). General Johnstone, in the mean:time, passed the causeway, and . ctintinuing. his -march, drew up his force in two lines, opposite to the Mu. tineers ; the first line (.consisting'' of go of the Royals and two Companies of the 68th) Within twenty yards of them. The Mutineers, when on the point of proceeding to the Parade to meet General Johnstone and the Troops, liberated. Captain Bar, and offering him his sword, insisted on his taking the command.of them, and march_ ' ing them down i 'both of which he declined, on which they threatened to shoot him if 'he did not comply ; he with the other OffiCers, then' pri soners, accordingly marched them down,. arid drew them up on the Parade; where they received Ge neral Johnstone' with preSented • ants and drums beating. General J. instantly 'formed, and then ordered Captain Bar to make them' ground 'their 'arms, which all.but some of the grenadierS oleyed.. lie then orderokf them to advance three paces in front of their arms, on which: several 'cried and were in the 'ad . of restrming their arms,. when wome person called out 16 fire I" Which was in. i d the 't*" . 6 - ;'; te l statitly ant. tevera -v LI ln . :16Cl 1 returned the ate . ; eirt e hev n itt ie : - ,gave fled in diftert*. diredions. Many of them kept the road twhi c h '''.iorms an angle), to the OutO.Calitit; but the troop: poqied straight up the Hifl, rehehed the star :fit before them, ,and by t h at M eans cut theni After this they scattered in every diredion, Closely follow(' by their pursuers. Some di tlletri; or theit arrival at the Hospital, are said to have bavo n e t ed some 'of the sick. Some were ta k en , AA when - brought in, ordered to be bayoneted, Which ws.4 instantly done. Others retreatinr, over the face of the Outer Cabrit, were shot--a few art supposed to be still concealed in. the bushes, and some ale 'known to have got into the country. The Mutil: veers had manned the several Works 56rnmaiding the approach to The Post, and When the firing corn; menced,, fired grape from the Inner Cabrit Upon . the troops who had. passed the Post, and were drawn up between it:and the Outer Cabrir, by which and the fire of the small arms, two or three of the. Troopswere killed, and near 20 . wounded ; two of the Militia were also killed. The number of .Mo; tineers killed has not been ascertained with . accu racy, owing to several having been shot, on the face of the Cabrit leading to• the sea about 6o were bu.. reed in one hole : it- is supposed that more than too were killed ; and "among thd prisoners ate 46 wounded, some of them desperately._ The Corp consisted of nearly $OO, of which there are said to be in close confinement or prisonets at large on the Upper Cabrit, about 370 (including the 40 wound; ed), of .whom-it is proposed to try about is. The causes assigned by the Mutineers ate various—but. the having been obliged to kat the draining of the Swamp for the two preceding days,, seems to; have been the principal ; It is it work that Would require a long time to. compleate The Mutineers. buried the murdered Officers with Military Honours—the whole Corps attended.; h e y• liberated the three Officers whom they held in con finement, for this purpose also.. The firing party was seleded, and was composed of the worst charac.:. tern among them. The King's Colours were kept flying during the whole time the Mutiny the Mutineers constantly declared their readutess tei fight for .KING.GEORGIi, and when General john. stone and the Troops marched in, the I(.in . 's lours were flying in Fort Shirley, with the Flag of Truce above them. PreviouS to the fire commencing . between the Troops and the . Mutineers; Gen: John sto n e , wh o had been in front,. retired .between the first and second lines, and desired the men to be ready. Sane of the Troops asked if they were to fire : the OtE:cis who had been their prisoners, ran stooping into the line of the Troops. This and the ;other circumsanceS mentioned appear to have produced an agitation on both "sides. • • The - NlurineerS, who appear to have aced with great confidence towards the General until that moment, resumed their arrns, • and the first shot served as a signal to both parties to fire. Probably 'a little address at that moment might. have prevented the - bloOdy *scene that followed: The ac counts of eye witnesses vary with respea to the side on which the firing commenced, Ills well as the tiunber of the Mutineers killed—sore coMput ing it :at . 100 White men, whilst others suppose it to have been nearly double thatnuniber : possibly the' medium between the two may be nearest the truth.

This in telligence, however ; we do not consider as at all to be reiiM on.---We had Letters yesterday from Paris, of that date, which make - no me.ntion of any :ouch event. The English at Paris are anxiottglY.expeaing the arrival of Lord WHITWORTH, that they may be able to apply to a Representative of rthe Nation; esta blished there with all the powers, and with the dignity of so respe&able a situation. A very general disposition prevails in Holland for the restoration of the House of Orange. If the Chief ConstA were to san4ion the measure, there can he little doubt of its being effeaed without any convulsion. By a letter from Fort george, datedjune i, we understand' that the State Prisoners are immediately to' be sent to Hamburgh in a ship of war: Yesterday were played two Cricket Matches, at single Wicket, for twenty guineas a side, which were well contested (lasting: upwards of live hours)' ; between 'the Rev.
