IT is with real concern ff'have to state a very unpleganr , circumstance which has occurred in this GarrisOn. On Christm'ts Eve we were alarmed with the account that the Royals (the Governor's Regiment) were on their own Parade, with their bayotie - tilfiked, and their artillery, and were - load.- ing with ball cartridge, .with a determination of Mutiny. All the Offkers immediately repaired to their several Regiments„ put them under arms, and, with a few.six : pounders; marched to' the Convent, His Royal 1-iighness's reitsiettcrt, where aeonsider. able: for& arrived only , ao few seconds before the _ MutineerS ; they gii've''a few' cheers and imme+ tliatelY deinanded Out the r'OVernor, and his Ad.' jiitanti:and the Town-MjOr, should be delivered np to them; • BecOming turbulent, the Troops I dpiwn around the Convent, their port-fires, uporywhieh the Mutineers went to the right about, and- marched off' to the-South, Where „the 54. th Re. • gitnent were quartered, in hopes they would Join ,hem ; instead'of .which:they were received with a discharge of inusquetry, but as it was very dark, Only about six or eight fell,' who' areall'Very.dan. • gerously. wounded. . The.. Mutineer's upon this re, turned to their quarters,..and)all Ibußegiinents were marched to theirs, leaving , a Party to :parade the , Streets. Every thing remained quiet until .about. six o'clock next morning,y when .the •Minineers agaitkistoke. out ? of their Barracks.,' The Garrison was again ordered under arms. The Mutineers', Snatched to the Grand Parade, refusing to return to' their duty unfesS their demands were complied with; General Bait NiStto.

Last night, a little alter midnight, we were again 'ordered' under arms; and marched to the Convent, where we .wele met kty. , the:4oh regiment, in Which `a mutinous spirit had likewise begun. to appear. .They came out with the idea of the r Royals joining them ; hut happily that regiment were turned out with their Coluuel at their head, and they cried out that they had got redreis, A nd would stick tolhe : Duke, upon which,they marched off to the Convent. The isth went off to try to get the 2.3d.and ad to join' them, but 'a party was dispatched to intercept them. They gm, howei/er, unterscriarity behind the Royals, and gave. stveral'clutrs, opon Which the Detachment sent to: intercept them fired a round, by which coW of the Royals were killed and four dreadfully wonndcd, and three of the 25th were killed and three wounded. They, upon this, returned to their Barracks. , At five this iirornilig:, the Garrison 'was again under arias ''and, with Artillery, a large Detacli.: ment watt to the Barn - 4s of the ;51.11' to take their arms, which being eireaed; the Duttr., . with the Officers of that Regiment., went and secured fourteen of the Ringleaders, -whom we expea every hout to tee shot in presence of the whole Garrison. ANOTHER ACCOUNT. CILIRALT4R, DECEMBER 27. On the • 24th, in the evening, the Gartison was alarmed with the report of a Mutiny having broken out in the , zd Battalion of the Royals, which how. ever, was snort suppressed, without any serious . consequences. - The circumstances were as follows.t.--,-The men of that Regiment. had been extremely dissatisflvd with w h a t th e y ti,in c eived .t o be unneeessarrseverity in a new Adjutant who' had been lately appointed, anal against whom they. ):Lad betin, much prejudiced before his arrival fromiikland. ! On that day it happened that all the men of thr:Re,giment were off duty, and had been paid the balances of their ac counts, and it being Clni3tnias Eve, many of them had drank freely, .and had got liqUor into the Bar. racks. To prevent their obtaining more, and to keep theM from straggling our, the Adjutant di reCted the gates. °film Barracks to be locked;' on, this, a number of them seized their arms, and rush ing, out of the doors and windows,, threatened to murder the Adjutant whetevet they could find him. They had proceeded as far as the Esplanade to the number of about 250, when General Br NAlt, n over. took them, and'harangued them on the impropriety of their eonduil„ requesting them to go back to . their,Barracks,,and assuring them, that if they had, any just complaints, they should be redressed in the morning. They listened to hiM with the greatest. respeel, and were on the point of returning, when unitiekily the Adjutant appeared among theni-at the sight of him their fury Seemed to revive, many crying out, " Kill him V' and he with great difli. sulty escaped into a house, several blows and thrusts having been aimed at him. Shortly after this,. the greater part of the men, after some shouting' and huzzaing in 'the streets, were persuaded to. return to their Barracki ; but'about thirty of the worst charaflers among them, chiefly Irish, Who appeared to have some further mischief in view, proceeded to the South Barracks about half a mile 'from the town, where the evil Regiment were quarte re d, wholly 'cOmposed oi Irishmen, some of 'whom' were supposed to be disaffeded ; these thirty from the Royals, in consequence wafted to be joined by them. In this, however, they were completely dis. appointed ; the instant they urtlititi. Upon the 54.111 to join them, •that momtint - they received a volley from .the Grenadiers, who were immediately opposite the road by which they ativanctsd,tand the whole Regi. merit joine4 in one iboy!

Mutineers i rnmeilii;ktely fled, and returned to their Barracks, and it . i.lewtjwy) rrri hour f r t cominencernent tit the business all was qUkt, from the darkness of the night, only five or 414 were wounded-by the firing of thePrerY4ie" B.egiment, 1 ne conduct of au me otner tscg►tmef4s in rison, was, on this occasion, highly to their honour `and credit, as, in five minutes time, after the first alarm, every man vvas s under arms on parade, ready to att when called upon, and they: unanimously expressed the utmost fidelity and attachment to their Officers. 'On the following morning a severe example would probably have .keen made of some of the ringleaders, had not the Regiment paraded siliTiout their arms, and requested—General BERNARD to intercede with His Royal ',Highness the DOC!! Or KENT, and to assure him of their entire submission, and sincere repentance of the excesses into which they had been betrayed, and promising tin mast exemplary beha. viour in future. 'fo ‘ , thisi tHis Royal Highness,, after some deliberation, consented, and ordered the Regiment, to.appearunder arms before, him, when he, in. the most forcible, terms, pointed out to them the fatal consequences of such disorderly conduit, which, in them, was the more unpardonable,- as no Soldier in his Regiment cOuld'say, that he had ever made a just complaint without obtaining re dress. After this, His Royal: Highness prcigieeded to the other Regiments, and thanked themaeparatay, for the bteadiness, fidelity, and diseiptilie they had shewn, and he was received by them all with three amen, and the - warmest enti!usiarm . and applause. Last night the Garrison was again alarmed, Ow ing to a drunken riot of some Adiers of the zsth Regiment. The ,Regiment had that evening re ceived the balance of their accounts, when mo,A of them, as too often happens on that occasion, got extremely drunk and'noisy ; and about ten at night, about forty or fifty of the most riotous, sallied intr.) the streets, shouting, and firing their inusket:i in the air, though without offering violence to any one. The Garrison, on hearing the 'noise, and ignorant of the cause, immediately got under arms, when the 2d Battalion of the Royals, anxious to, wipe of the disgrace of their late condua, tequeste4 their Ogi, cers to solicit His. Royal Highness'a -permission for their going to quell the riot. A strong party of them were accordingly detached for that purpose, who, meeting with about thirty of the rioters near the King's Bastion, drove them before them towards their Barracks without oppoiltion. In ,their way thither, they unitickily, in the dark, came ,upon a party of the artillery, 'OM had taken post between the King's Bamimi ancl' Ilie l "43#racks, who, seeing the Rioters advancing that!' Way. with their arms,. and not perceiving that the Detachment of Royals were in their rear, immediately tired upon them, by which two of the Rioters were killed, and un. fortunately, at the same time, one , of — the ,Royals was killed, and three or four were wounded, This looming, thirteen of the chief Rioters were delivered up by the Ikgiment, and a General Court Martial, is now sitting upon them ; tind, it is sup. posed that an example, will be made of some of them,:, as though their condui appears chiefly ,to have ori. gloated from drunkenness, Yet the exciting of such an alarm, after what had lately happened, and which hasbee n attended with such fatal consequences, can.; not be passed over with impunity,—All is now perfealy quiet in the Garrison. A.14 . 0'1 II ER ET'T Ft or. Ti]r •AMR DAT!. It ovens that the zd Battalion of the Royals, principally composed of Volunteers from the late Fcricible Infantry, having made too free with ii. quor (in consequence of having their balances paid them), on' the evening of :the 24th of December forced open their BarraCk. :gates, and seizing their arms, vowed vengeance on the Adiutant, who had ordered that they should not he suffered to gointo the town. To this Officer, it appears, they. ,had an inveterate hatred t' not finding ; him, they ran to the ;Barracks. of,the 25th Regiment, and endeavoutedAo persuade that Corps to join them . . Failing in this attempt, they sent a large. Party to the 54th Regi. meat, where they : were received, by the Grenadier Company of that. Corps with a pretty smart and galling tire, which wounded five of them. In less .than an hour all' was quiet, and the next day they appeared so perfealy contrite, that. His Royal High ness, the Governor, after animadverting forcibly upon the enorthity of their condat, forgave But on the 2,oth of i Deastober, . the 25th Regiment (which had , behaved ict well on the 24th of the month), having now received their balances, and having got drunk, behaved in the same manner as . the Royals had done bn the 24th. A patty of the Artillery, in firing upon some of theM, who were very disorderly and mutinous, unfortunately hit a detach ment of the Royals,, who were.approaching to assist the Artillery in quelling the Mutiny, killed one Man, and wounded five ; besideslilling two of,the 2g th Regiment On the .27th of December, fifteen of the Ringleaders 'w et e take n u p, i n or d er to b e, tried for Mutiny.' The Gairison„*ai then perfealy quiet, and a general sentiment of abhorrence for what had pasSed, seemed ;o prevail; I Hs Royal Highness the present COMMANDER in curt.

Should he not have it in his power to purchase, it will then be offered to the rest downwards, and want of means in any instance can never be a detriment to any bilker but at that immediate time,as the same offer will barnacle on every subsequent occasion of a re. signation.
