'THE intelligence. from the West Indies, „respea ing an Ir:SutreClion in the Island of Dominica, turns c,nt pretty nearly as we had conjeaured. A Barba. 4ce:4 Alt:rcury of the 24th . April, which reached Town yesterday, contains a Letter from- Roseau, 10 the Llctnd. of Dominica, of the 14th of April, giving some amount of this Mutiny. On th 9th, the Bth West India 'Regiment, composed of Blacks, mutinied, and in a most barbarous manner put to death Captain CAMERON, Lieut. MAcx.ky„ Lieut. WASTNAYS, Commissary LAING, and Quarter and Barrack-Master-Serjeant M'ICAy. • Clerk of the Cheque BARRON, and alarter-MaSter-Serjeallr YOUNG, were both wounded, the former danger ously. His Excellency the Hon. A. COCHRANE JoHNsioNE, who is Colonel of the Bth West India Regiment, and Governor of the Island of Damin;ca, immediately colleaed all the Troops, Militia and other European Force he could muster, and embarked for Prince Rupert's, where the Black Regiment was stationed, and where they had committed the atro cities above. recited. Fortunately some Ships of War were in the Bay, the Marines of which were landed, and assisted in the reduelion of the Mu tineers. The Governor found them drawn up in their usual place of parade, with two of their Officers, whom they had spared, in their front. They refused to obey the Governor's order to ground their arms, and were immediately fired upon with such effefl, that those who did not fall, attempted to save themselves by flying to the The excellent disposition, however, made by the Governor of his force, frustrated their designs, and the whole were exterminated, except ing about 130, who were secured and sent as pri soners on board the Ships of War. The People of Dominica were at a loss to account for the commission of so horrid an outrage. We can suppose it might have originated in the appre hension of being disarmed, disbanded, and returned to a state of labour. OUR Readers will perceive from the Proceedings in the House of Commons, that the Estimates for the Army and Navy, up to Christmas next, were last night voted. The Establishment of the for mer is to be 70,299 Men for the United Kingdom, and of the latter 70,000 Seamen, including 14,000 Marines. The proposed arrangement will make a saving, between the War and Peace Establish ment, of 7,578,4001. in the Annual Expenditure of the Country. WE this morning received Paris journals of the 4th instant, which are however barren of all inte. resting intelligence. The French Five per Cents. were on the sth, 55. 30. Lord GARDNER arrived yesterday at Portsmouth in the Dryad Frigate, from Ccrk. On the 3lst ult. the Mayor, Sheriff's, and Com. mon Council of Cork, voted a handsome and re_ spelful Address to Admiral Lord GARDNER, to which his Lordship made a suitable reply. Lord WHrrwoRTH will now probably very soon set off, for Paris, an Ambassador having been ap pointed to our Court. - Lord WH ITWORTH and the Dutchess of DORSET left town on Monday last for Knowle. Mr. Ross, the King's Messenger, is for the future to continue as Resident Messenger between Paris and Calais, great delay having been occasioned by the want of such an establishment in forwarding dispatches to and fro. Mr. NloßvHEw has been appointed Inspector of Aliens at Dover. The Troops in Garrison at Dublin are to be re viewed by the LORD LIEUTENANT on the 16th Instant. Sir HENRY PEYTON has declined standing for Cambridgeshire at the General Eledion, on account of the heavy expence. Yesterday a Court of Directors was held at the East India House, which-adjourned at 5 o'clock till Wednesday next. Yesterday advice was received at the India_ House, of the safe arrival in the Downs of the Ship We/Ledo', Captain PETER GORDON, from the Pre_ sidency of Bengal, which place she left so late as the mo►►th of December. The Wellesley sailed from the Island of St. Helena in the beginning of April last. Mr; 704'ES said, he would not advise his Ron: Friend to let ambition fire his mind upon the pre.. sent occasion, but . , to a certain degree, he consi dered the propositinn in the same pint of view with -`rim. He would ask, 'if the Chancellor of the Ex chequer, who was perhaps the first puYic Officer in Europe, had half suet a stipend ? To the present CI- I ;,ncellor of Ireland he could agree, bona fide, to give the sum ; but in the present situation of this Country, he requested the Right Hon. Gentleman to pause, and he urged the lateness of the hour and so thin a House, as objeCtions to deciding upon the point : however, if it were ultimately voted, he should, be the Minister whom he may, propose that he should have a larger salary than he now enjovs. Lord - CASTL EREAGH spoke ably in support of the Motion. If the compensation was not con_ tinue6, the Lord Chancellor of Ireland would not be in a better condition than the Chicf Justices of the inferior Courts in that kingdom. He would support the Motion, not on personal grounds, thoucih- he highly respected the Noble Lord who now filled the office, but as a measure of public . justice, and as one highly advantageous to Ireland. Mr. MOORE followed on the same side, and at some length supported the Motion. In the course of his observations, he begged the Committee to con- F;,ler that the sum of ro,oool. was not proposed to be td l :en our of the Public Treasury, but merely as Much as would make the present emoluments amount to that sum ;—this could not be so much as 4.0001. perannum : and from some calculations, which he entered .into, may contingently fall short of that sum. Mr. RoßsoN took occasion to enter into some Ic;ilculations in support of certain propositions which he had in the first instance advanced. "The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER spoke in explanation. Mr.ORMSBY spoke in favour of the Motion, and in a speech of some length c displayed much ability And knowledge of the subjeEt. Mr. RoßsoNt said a few words in reply ; after which the question was put, the Motion agreed to by the Committee, and the House resuming, or dered the Report to he received to-morrow. Mr. LEIGH stated, that he should, to-morrow, move for a Committee of the whole House, to consider of the making Provision for defraying certain Expences incurred by Com missioners, Clerks, &c. employed on occasion of Contro verted Eleetions in Ireland, and in the Return of Members to serve in the United Parliament. A short explanatory conversation took place between the Hon. Gentleman and Mr.W. B. PoNsoxßY, on the nature'of thi3 intended proposition ; after which the notice was taken down accordingly. On the Motion of Lord CA S TLFR EACH, the Report upon tlne Petition of the Sierra Leone Company was ordered to be referred to the Committee of Supply, on Friday next. The farther consideration of the Report of the Committee of Supply on Thursday last being moved, the Resolutions of the same, among which was the proposed remuneration of Dr. JENNE:a, were read a second time, and agreed to. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER gave notice, that he should on a future day move for an Address to His Ma jesty for a sum of money which would completely cover certain ex pences which Dr. Jenner had been at. Mr. E t L tsoN wished to know the probable amount. The Cru,NCELL'OR of the EXCHEQUER replied, he ima gined it would not exceed 5001. Several fmancial papers and documents were presented by Mr. 1 7 .- , .Nst•r" A RT. So:ne Accounts relative to the Population of the Country, were presented by the same Gentleman, who, to account for some deficiency in it, adverted to some apparent negled of the Sheriffol Sutherland. Mr. ALEXANDER brought up the Report of the Commit— tee, on a proposition respecting the Dnekes upon all Goods imported into Ireland, Sugar excepted, which being read, was agreed to by the House, and a Bill ordered to be brought in accordingly. The Ar - roareEv-GENER At. moved the third reading of the Police Bill, in which some additional clauses were introdu ced ; and after a few words from Messrs. Jo NE s and Eet.i soN, the Bill was read a third time and passed. Mr. VA NS ITT Artr presented a Bill to equalize the Rate of I'ostage of Letters between Great Britain, the French and Batavian Republics, &c. which was read a first time, and orderek'i to be read a second time to-mefrow. The Report of the Aliens Bill wes received and agreed to, and the Bill ordered to be read a third time to-morrow. The Report of the National Debt Reduelion Bill was re ceived; some Clauses were proposed by Mr. VA NS IT T A RT, and agreed to, and the Bill ordered to be read a third time on Friday. Mr. VA Nsriere.Fr brought up a Bill to permit certain quantities of Wheat to be exported from Southampton and We; mouth, to Guernsey, jersey, &c. Read a first, and or dered to be read a seconcLtime on Friday. .The House resolved into a Committee on the Land Tax Rale/notion Bill, to which some Amendments were made. Tne House resuming, the Report was immediately received, and ordered to be taken into consideration on Monday next. The House, en the Motion of Mr. VA N SITT ART, resolv ed into a Committee on a proposition for making a Free Port set the Island olefortola, on the advantages of which the Hon. Gentleman expatiated at some length, and concluded that the Chairman bedireeked to move the House for leave to bring in a Bill to that effect, which being agreed to, was done, and the 13111 order. .d to he brought in accordingly. The House in a Committee upon certain Stamp Duties p' , d on I iourances, came to some Resolutions moved by Messrs.

The benevolent intentions of Government, with respeet to the Soldiers, who, in the late Expedition to Egypt, have contra&ed a disorder which has ter mindted in a total privation of sight, was strongly manifested on Monday at the Board of General Offi cers at Chelsea Hospital : 217 blind men were passed from different regiments of Dragoons and Infantry, to whom the following allowance, by way of annuity, is panted : to each Serjeant, is. 6d. per diem; to each Corporal, Is. zd. per diem ; and to each Drum mer and Private, is. per diem ; to continue to be paid by equal half yearly payments for the remainder of their livcs ; and to be paid them, to .save the trouble and expense,_ by the Colleaors of Land_ Tax, in their several polishes, to which they are to he rcmoved at the expense of Government, either by ships or Waggons, as the distance may be. The Right Hon. the LORD MAYOR having re_ ceived a Letter from Lord - PELnAm, one of His Majesty's. Principal Secretaries of State, requesting for His' Majesty's information, the consent of the Corporation of London to the grant for establishing a Market near Finsbufy-square, upon the Petition of the Right Hon. the Earl of DARNLEY to His MAJESTY ; 111 C LORD MAYOP., in consequence thereof, has ordered his Saminonses to issue imine. diately, for holding a Court on Tuesday next ) at pteciseiy at unc o'clock, • FION! Tidt, - BArtI3.4:DOtS•MESCVItY, OF APRIL ROSEAU (DOMINICA), Ariqt. 14. - On Saturday morning, the loth inst. accounts ar rived in Town, express to His Excellency Governor Jo HNSTONE, that a mutiny had broke out in the Bth West India Regiment, of which His Excellency is Colonel, tvho, on the preceding evening, had re volted against their Officers, and put three of them to death ;* in consequence of which an alarm was fired, and the Colony put under Martial Law, which was sanctioned by a Council of War, to continue for fourteen days. They themselves assigned various motives for this outrage ; what the real one may have been, yet remains to be investigated ; but whatever it was, it can form no palliation for the scene of brutality which they counnitted. The different Corps of Militia were immediately assembled in town, and a part of the 68th Regi ment, with about fifty men of the St. George's Re giment, commanded by Captain Dawes, and the St. Luke's Indepen4nt Company, were imme diately embarked in some of the droghing ves sels, in order to ad with the 'St. John's Inde pendent Company, commanded by Captain 'TROT TER. On Sunday His Excellency embarked with the remainder of the 68th, and arrived at Prince Ru pert's on the evening of the same day. Previous to this the Mutineers had made a sortie, in which they had a skirmish with Capt. 'TROTTER'S Company, but in the end were repulsed and driven back by that Company, supported by the Marines of the different Ships in the Bayl, who effedually continued todeeep them within the post, till the force which accom panied the Governor was disembarked. His Ex cellency found, on his arrival, that terms had been proposed to Major HAMILTON ; after which, several interviews between parties deputed from the Muti neers and our Commanders took place, the result of which was,' that they should surrender and lay down their arms, which being agreed to, and that Soo men should march to take possession, the Governor, at the head of a detachment from the Royals, commanded by PUXLEY from the Saints, about 300 of the 68th, commanded by Majors SCOTT and HAM IL. TON, and the Marines commanded by Capt. together with some officers and privates of the Artillery, entered the Garrison, when they found the Mutineers drawn up on their usual place of parade, with the Colours in their front. They received our troops with presented arms, and obliged two of their Officers§, whom they had spared from the massacre of Friday night, to take post in their front. The Governor drew up his troops in two lines opposite to them, rode to the line of the mue tineers, and direled them. to shoulder and ground their arms, on which he rode to the rear of the front line. They were then ordered to advance three paces in front ; at which moment a Serjeant (Church) called out, " No, General—no." The Governor then replied, if they diet not instantly obey, he would order the Troops to fire upon them. On which, the whole seized their arms, and a general fire commenced, by which many of the Mutineers fell, and the remainder dispersed, themselves in dif ferent dire&ions. Previous to their • dispersion, Captain SERRANT• and Lieutenant BEAUBO is, with the St. bike's In dependent Company, had received orders to occupy Fort Shirley, in which were some few of the Mu tineers ; but being fired upon, and having no in strument with which to force the barrier gate, they were obliged to retreat. After the scene on the Parade, many of the 'sur viving fugitives were seen scrambling up the outer Cabrit others fled up the inner one, and those who could attain it, running along the line on the ridge, discharged, as they passed, the cannon which had been previously loaded, and pointed on their pursuers, and then threw themselves headlong over the preci. pice. Such, however, was the spirit of intrepid ac tivity manifested by every white individual in the Garrison, in stouning the remaining . Posts of the M'utineers, that, in the course of half an hour, the , whole were completely reduced ; and these daring banditti may now be said (except about 130, who are prisoners on board the Ships of War), to be al most wholly exterminated. It is with great satisfadion we find our own loss has been very trifling, according to the best accounts amounting to twenty killed and wounded. Lieutenant M'KAY and Lieutenant WASTNAYS appeared to have been peculiar objeas of their rage. Lieutenant WASTNAYS' fate .was truly lamentable. These.barbarians having stripped him, fastened him to a tree, pricked him with their bayonets, and mutilated him in a most shocking manner, even re tarding that death, which would have been a boon, as terminating his sufferings ; and the dead body of Lieutenant M 4 gAY, the first yiaim to their wrath, they equally insulted, by dragging it about . the post in a manner too horrid to relate. The strongest powers of panegyric would be faint, to give the due tribute to the merit of every Corps which was engaged in the late perilous scenes. The zeal and intrepidity of the Artillery, commanded by Captain BROUGH, the Royals, the 68th Regi ment, and Marines, reflea on those Corps the highest credit. The St. George's Regiment and St. John's Independent Company manifested their usual spirit and alacrity, and though not engaged in the business of the interior of the Fortress, sustain ed with becoming firmness the important Position which His Excellency judged proper to assign them. Capt. LEW Is, of the 37th Regiment, who com manded the advanced guard, is justly entitled to ap plause. Great praise is due to Capt. BENJAMIN MAT THEWS, of the ship Fanny, who volunteered his services, with several of his crew, and whose ex ertions on this occasion were highly useful. It is -with concern we state, that one of his men was dan gerously wounded by a grape-shot. * Captain CAMERON killed, Lieutenant MACKAY ditto; Lieutenant WA s-riv A y s ditto ; Commissary LAINC ditto; Quarter and Barrack-Master-Serjeant 'K ASC ditto ; Clerk cf the Cheque, BARRON, dangerously wounded; Quarter- Master-Serje;.nt You NG, wounded. f The Magnificent, of 74; Excelleat, 74; Severn, 44; and Caicte sloop of war. 4 - ., We have not been able to learn this Gentleman's name. Captain BARRE and Lieut. BIVI NCTON. For the information of those unacquainted with the Post 1 at )ri.ace Rupert's, it may be proper to observe, that the hills called the Cabrits arc two very high ridges, having a valley or piain between them, and the inner one commanding an ex tensive fiat isthmus, on winch, and forming a fine from thence to the Bay, the Militia were posted,' to prevent the 'Mutineers escaping from the Garrison.

GENOA, MAY z4.—We are nearly blockaded bY Brigands. Their Chief, who, with some reason' has been called the Devil, has established his 140d' quarters at Capenardo, from whence his myrmidons make excursions for the purpose of levying contri" butions upon travellers. Some time since they robbed an English Merchant named LI ov two bales of merchandize, shortly after w hiclit the Meichant received a Letter from the Chief of the Banditti, offering the goods to him for zcoa livres. " We promise upon our honour," say the Brigands, " to transmit LIDYEN'S goods, s ° that he may transport them to Genoa. If h e wants an opportunity of so doing, we engae to transport them - .ourselves. Nay more, % v° will give them all the necessary 'passpOrts an d cards of safety, in order that he may not be in' commoded by our Patroles ; and if he desires it , we will give him a g.,ard of safety unto the fir st post occupied by Ligurian Soldiers.
