JAMAICA PAPERS. KINGSTON, JUNE 26. We have to caution the public from placing belief in the various idle and unpleasant rumours which were in circulation in this city yesterday, many of them being without the slightest founda►ion in troth ; and our readers may be assured th►►t the following is the most authentic and latest account from Hanover : GAZETTE EXTRAORDINARY. " Montego Bay Gazette Office, Three o'clock, June 23. " We are much gratified in being able to congratulate the country on the intelligence which has just been received from the interior, through a respectable gentleman of this parish , who left the Argyle shout an hoar since, and states that there are at present, only six or eight of the Argyle, one or two of the Knockalva, and four of the holden Grove negroes out, the latter of which are expected to surrender themselves to-night. Colonel Campbell, of the Western Interior, proposes to dis charge the detachment of the St. James's Militia, now sta tioned at Montpelier, to-night or to-morrow morning, unless any thing not now contemplated occurs; and thinks it is likely that the day after, the greater part of the militia in that dis trict may be allowed to return to their homes, the arrival of the Maroons being expected to-night. We are happy also to state, there is not the smallest inundation for at !aching any thing like . suspicion to th e negroes belong ing to Mr. C. R. Ellis to that quarter; on th e con t rar y, th e i r conduct has been meritorious, and a few of them have been employed in pursuit of the runawys. We have every hope, therefore, that an insurrection which has, from its commence ment and duration, borne so formidable an appearance, is about to be crushed without the loss of many of the negroes' lives, and none of the white population ; but we look with horror and commiseration on what is to follow in the trial and conse quent punishment of the unhappy victims of the hypocrisy, cant, anti cupidity of those self-serving moralists, Wilberibrce, Buxton, Cropper, &c. " It gives us great pleasure to mention, that 200 men, of the 22d regiment, under the command of Captain Donaldson, and a small body of artillery, who were stationed in the Larracks of this city, were embarked yesterday on board the Hussar, 46, Captain G. Harris, C. 8., and proceeded this morning for Sit vanna-la-Mer. Major-General Sir John Keane, C. 8., with his staff, accompanied them. " Two companies of the 50th regiment, under the command of Captain Ryan, have been marched into this city, iu the room of the above detachment of the 92d."

" So long as we have honest and intelligent Rulers in that Country, it will be sedulously protected from the certain and incalculable mischiefs which such an engine in the hands of needy and unprincipled Adventurers cannot fail to produce."— ( Quarterly Review.) Mtt. EntTott—A respectable but inferior class of native public officers we ‘‘ill now allude to. They are intimately by caste and religious feeling identified with the body of people, mentioned in my last Letter, and without their assistance, I do not hesitate to say, that the Government could not conduct its operations. They are now, like their superiors, faithful, attached,..and loyal, but only permit them to be taught to question the acts of their British aulers, ditrtisive statements and seditious doctrines, and these very men, instead of executing their orders, would be enjoined to disobey them, and when once they began to sus pect that they were oppressed, or that they might be improved in their condition, or that our proceed ings were nefarious and arbitrary, their hate and detestation would be as vivid and active as is now their zeal and obedience. I wish to be informed w here, among the numerous evils and dangers which I have faithfully narrated (and of which we shall have more in due time), is a single benefit or ad ventage derived by the native of India from po litical discussion ? Not a solitary one! Yet for the visionary and delusive Free Press are .we to risk our empire in India, with its measureless be nefits to the mother country, and replunge the now happy, contented, and prosperous llindoo into the horrors, famines, burnings, and desola tions of former days, by restoring the accursed rule-of the`Mussulman. A Government, in bestowing a boon on its people, if it does not look for an equivalent, at all times looks to the certainty of improving the state of the people ; now I wish to ask, if discusssion would do that No !it would only excite the chief ►►nd principal men to acts of hostility to the British authorities, by which assuredly, whichever party were for the time suc cessful, the great mass of the people would be compromised and ruined, could we then again tuncrile the mischief we had done ? certainly not ! Persons in this country are so little informed of the habits and ideas of the natives of India, that opinions are formed at once crude and er roneous, and they are led to believe that our rule abroad i 3 alike arbitrary and unjust, and those who have been to India, too often dissemi nate their observations on the numerous distinct states and people from the, comparatively speak ing, corroßt art.* hik.arelound at the sea ports. ', l 6.44# 4 o4,4l4o4rokiiiiptpare. t eative h thirst: exists. in the eaStea,• and in • -obedience' to the Priests. In that country the entire body has but one opinion, and more compactly and firmly each man feels and resents the injury, supposed or real, that is done to the other ; the case is widely different in England, where none of these bonds of unity and co-operation exist. Lord Valentia (Earl of Mount-Norris) has a sensible and apposite observation in his excellent Book of Travels (Ito), Vol. I. page '249, in speaking of the labours of the Mis sionaries. " But were the paths of ambition laid open to him by that equalization which would be the consequence of the destruction of castes, and the general reception of Christianity, talents would have their free career, and !very man of spirit would consider himself as the establisher of his own fortune. Is it credible, then, that in such an event, so many millions of natives would sub mit to be governed by a few thousand Europeans, to whom they could feel no natural attachment or obligation of allegiance ?" These observations now bring me to another portion of our Indian subjects, the fine and well disciplined native army of 250,000 men, all bound together by ties of caste. These men have always looked upon us with almost venera tion ; they are high-minded but obedient, strongly attached, because they are well treated and their religious prejudices respected ; loyal, because they believe us to be humane, just, and powerful ; and they have not been told otherwise. No excite ment has ever been given to their minds, no false doctrines have been preached, no delusive theories held out to. them, no false grievance's suggested by the artful to their imaginations, and no hope of bettering their fortunes by resisting their officers, nor has the idea of opposing the government been instilled into their minds. • They observe the Go. vernment to be firm and liberal, their officers brave and considerate, getting their pay regularly, a uniform system of mild treatment, and a provision in their-old age ; they are happy now, and look forward to their old age without fearof want or dis. tress. Probably,however,this admirahleand brave army may be reformed and improved by making them u Weekly News thorn quidnunc3, giving Paper, to he called the" Sephanies' Itemem brancer ;" the leading article to consist of a re• view of the'Acts of the Government, two co luinns to be apportioned' to the reports received from the various Native Corps, stating the ill usage, the wants and 'wishes of the men in each preceding week, With an original'erticle written • by the senior Sulador (native Captain), on the abilities and conduct of the British Officers 'cum • posing the Courts'-martial or Courts of Iniitiit'y, wltidt liave sat ; ex tracts from the liondoil Journals, relating-to the abuses . and misgovern ment practised . in India ; -'articles from the Ukkbars , (CourtCirculars); with the correspotAil enve of - retlortne& and enlightened native Civil Officers, to - consist of original . 'es s ays 'on the cork SUN. ruption and inefficiency of the Civil Officers at Mofussils ;. these articles would altogether form an admirable mass of intelligence, loyalty, and no velty. The surplus profits of the Newspaper might enable the native Editor, in a short time, to still further edify his oppressed and injured country men, by a cheap edition, in Persian and 'llineloo stannic, of Paine's Age of Reason, and Palmer's Principles of Miture Y What a cheering idea does this present to the Philanthropist ? Even the very probability of the Native of India becoming almost as virtuous and enlightened as his master. After ages will spenk with admiration of British philanthropy and patriotism; and although, pro bably, after generations may regret the loss of India, what is that compared to the mental im provement of mankind, and the : advantage of their becoming as. wise, as good, and as powerful, as their former rulers were ? Weil may an Chien tal Periodical Work place •on its wrapper a " Printing Press," descending from the clouds in a halo of light on the heads of the suffering millions, like the due of Heaven falling on Mount Lebanon, vivifying, refreshing, and nourishing exhaused Nothing can be more certain, than that in the course of a few years that which I jocularly have touched upon would become a sad reality. It cannot be doubted, by reasonable and sensible minds, but that the most disastrous results must accrue from a licentious and unbridled Press, among a proud and powerful people, who have been reduced to a state of subjection by a hand ful of foreigners, foreigners in country, in re ligion, in customs, and in sentiments. We should, in a very short time, as the march of reason pro ceeded, have the Sephanie, doubting the pro priety of the order given him, and his native of fice now become reformed and enlightened, jus tifying by treasonable and libellous conversa tions and writings, the misconduct of the soldier, or his own infringement of duties and orders. Subordination and discipline would he at an end, and for a moment only allow the Sephanie and his native officer to have misgivings, or be in clined to seek after the whys and wherefores, and then farewell for ever to India. it is to me extremely singular, that in our mad ness we would wish to bestow that upon the na tive soldiery of India, which is positively denied to the British army at home, an army composed of our own countrymen, and residing within our own towns! I allude to being permitted to reed works or papers of a libellous tendency. It was but the other day, (and mind, render,) in this free, happy, and loyal country, I say loyal, and I glory in saying it, for 119 out of 100 are well disposed towards King and Coun try ! Well, even among us it was found ne cessary to suppress a tragedy, written by , Str. *ree f * geotlerotto o high - literiary powers, and an artist of great respectability. M r. COMMIT, the most eminent reform writer of this or anyother period,the very A ties of Reformers, has more than once among us been checked in his career, but un outcry and lamentation is raised if the same thing is done among the conquered millions in India. One would suppose that the good people of this land, in their anger and vitu peration, forget that there was such a thing as an Alien Act in Great Britain, and although its application to foreigners, after seven years ceases, still if the administration found its application necessary, they would, with that firmness and de cision which have maintained us as a nation, during so many years of hard struggle, have re course to it on any particular occasion occurring. In the case with India, from having-served for considerable periods at the three presidencies of Calcutta, Madras,and Bombay, I can speak with confidence,and without fear of contradiction, and,, can say, that if persons will leave the Govern. ment alone, the Government will not disturb them, but it is hard to sting the baud that nourishes and protects them. Before quitting the subject of the native popu lation on the Oriental Continent, I will give a sensible and candid opinion contained, as a lead. ing article, in the Courier of the 27th July, 1824. 't A ridiculous controversy is carrying on just now, respecting the liberty of the Press in Like most diSCUSSiOIIS upon this subject,and upon that of political liberty generally, the great consi derations of time and place are disregsrded. That which is good for A, under given circumstances, must be equally good for B, under circum stances diametrically opposite. This is the doe trine of medical empirics, with their nostrums and panaceas. We have never conversed with 'a sin gle individual acquainted with India, .and for Whose opinion we should entertain the slightest respect upon other points, who has not Unequi vocally declared that a Free Press in that coun try. would work its utter ruin in a few years. In deed, this is so obvious a. truth, that with the exception of those who think upOn, all subjects in one way, we know not who would dispute it. The 'state of society in India is so utterly unlike that of any European country, and the form of Government which that state of society requires, is also so dissimilar to any European forni of Go vernment, that it appears one of , the wildest dreams of purt, Radicalism to Wish the es tablisbment of a Free Press. Like all the innovations of our political quacks, or64ts are confounded with Causes. In every country, free institutions precede freedom of discussion, and these institutions themselves must .be pre ceded by a certain ,progress in knowledge and civilization on the part of the people.. With"uA this preparation, ‘v filch is the slow work of time, to attempt to establish any insulated portion by anticipation, NvOu,ld be about as wise as to en deavour tu.teackatt infant.how to weild a drawn sabre. Let him have the strength and discretioO PRICE SEVENPENOS. of u man before you put such an iustrutnent*P his hands. We are unwilling to ACCUS4 bocce who have advocated the establishment of a Free Press in India, with the design of bringing about the loss of our possessions in that .quar ter, hut we cannot acquit their proceeclitsga of the direct tendency to produce that result. `They presumption ption fr o "a ft;in gnlulej morel rai m i i t sZe t ven igfi r, cause less capable of , being actedittpon byforet -of reason, than intelligent-hostility.". t may be said thatthete . 9ttrier takes .a parti• cular side in politics. Allowing it does' l inlattub.. ject like the present, uninfluenced by any:paify feeling, it may write as much truth and aanincit sense as another paper. I. rejoice in the F ree Tress of England, it is as itecetsary to us' (tee. men as air ; in short, to this Countryiit is wreak and great blessing. '2. I should hardly have the temerity to think tit opposing or even differing with such formidable papers as the Times and Morning Chronicle, who r with their luminous, powerful, and'able writing, would soon annihilate a poor feeble soldier like my self; happily it is not required, for neither of these celebrated Journals have advocated the necessity or expediency of a Free Press in India. They know it is incompatible with the state of the country, and have on the general question with their usual good sense and liberality taken up a neutral mition. Considering the impatience of the question, little has been said by the public, not; because it is one, not of domestic policy, but becauie the great mass of thinking persons know it is•un called for in India, and its application to an in ', flammable, ambitious, and subjugated people, fraught with imminent danger to the prosperity and eventual safety of the State. By a few individuals, much has been said and written, but as I speak from facts, am unpre. judiced, and argue from practical knowledge, it does not follow, that because a man can speak by the hour, or write by the quire against time, that I am obliged to believe that the moon is made of green cheese, or that the waters of the ocean are sweet, when I know to the contrary. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your very obedient Servant, JOHN H. SEELY , Captain. Bombay Native Infantry. NVyke, Dorset, August 14, 1824. *** The great question of a FREI PRESS in INDIA has been so ably discussed by Sir Jon MALCOLM (see THE. SUN of Saturday lust), and by the acute and intelligent author of The Wonders of Elora, (a work of the most interesting descrip tion) in the foregoing, and his taco former letters in our Paper last week, renders it u holly unne cessary for us to offer any arguments or opinions on a subject of such vital importa►>ce ,to the British Empire.
