If they return with news of a Clear coast, the 'Frenchmen, with BONAPARTE, will be off immediately."

'The Cambrian impressed five of the jusso's crew. The Commercial Advertiser (en American Paper of jurte , l2) says, " The Schooner Lydia, Pott-rast, from St. Mary's, in nine days, is arrived.

And the other below the Bridge, ,on the City side of the water. At twelve o'cloCk, Comm snore LocAs artiv,il with his River Fencibles, divide,d in a notn“ous iraisi of Gon.bOats, TranSport.ho,its, &c. "I'he Volunteer , embarked with the utmost' regularity, an c.ich boat, as soon as it was laden,. set oil to oke its station in the River, according to its number. Whin the whole were in motion, the &Ind played " Rule Britannia," which was succeeded by " God Save the King," and several other" loyal and pa-, triode Airs. The order of procession was as fol. lows Six Gun-boats abreast, with each an tB-pound carronade, as an advanced F,uard, at some distance Band of Music in one boat. Drums and Fifes in another. The Field Officers in a third bug. The Rifle Company attached to this Corps, in the fourth. The reniiiinder of the Corps, according to the number of their Companies. Each Gunboat had ten oars; there was also, A ten.oared Cutter attendant upon each, and a jolly boat for the conveyance of orders. Besides these, there was a vast number of pleasure-boats, cutters, wherries, and boats of all descriptions, upon • the River, which did not belong to the procession; and the day.bein:l; exceedingly fine, there were a great many Ladies who ventured upon the water, •Who by their presence materially heightened the pleasing el. felt of the speitacle. Etch Gun.boat discharged a shot at starting ; they • also fired at "various intervals in going up the River, and saluted the veterans of Chelsea Hospital with a discharge of cannon. They rowed in the most re gular order up to Putney-bridge. 'They , were re. ccsved on their arrival by Colonel KENSINGTON, Who marched at their head to Wimbledon Common, when they divided into two parties, and fora long time kept up a sham.fight,: with much spirit and sol dier.like condua,• so as to merit the approbation of several distinguished military char:tam. Theße giment then, returned to . Putney, 'where Colonel KENSINGTON had provided a kumptuoua dinner, in.a large booth, representing a marquee, in his plea. sure ground, which conveniently entertained 800 Soldiers. The Captains presided at the head of their respedive Companies ; and at a table placed across the head of the temp , ,lrary building, sat Col. Kr N. SINOTON, with the Field-Officers of his Regiment, and many other military charatttcrs. After dinner, many loyal and constitutional Toasts were drank :, amongst which, 1 The' Earl of HAtuarticroN's 'good health, and long may ye live to command the London Distrifi," was gtven,by the Colonel, and received with universal applause. They julgest it most prudent - to" come back by land, as it was vernear dark before ' they thought of coming into tow n, and ,the tide was so low- that there would be very great danger of the great Boats. in which, they were : carrie4l raking ground when heavy laden and sailing in;thedail.t. It was near twelve v'clock before the Corps reached town.— They had a delightful day, and their performance of duty was highly satistartory to their Colonel.

After calling-to them repeatedly, they halted,..and formethon the rise of it hill : the Major and TrOoper advanced within pi,tol.shot, and en. deavoured to persuade them to submit to the mercy that was offered them by the Proclamation, which they refused. The Major required to see their- Chiefs, who after some deliberation met them half way ,between the Detachment and Insurgents, when,. by a great presence of mind and address, the Major presented his pistol - at the head of the priori. pal Leader (Phiiip Cunningham), and the Trooper fallowing his motions, presented his pistol also to the other Leader's head (Wm. Johnston), and drove them into the Detachment, withoUt the least oppo. iition, from. the body' of the Insurgents. Major , OUNsTo N immediately ordered Qoarter.mastet LAYCOCK to advance with the Detachment, &es and cut the body to pieces, which immediately filed off and • flea in :ill directions, pursued by the De.- taclunent and followers.

It appears that this Conspiracy hail been in agi. Wiwi upwards of a month, but unlike all OLliCt at. emp , nulul secret 4t n . oil two days previous to its breaking out. Captain AittoT and thelkev,.lYlr. ts4ll: , DEti then received information, .which the tradstnittcd to 1.-ie:!d .quar. (ere; but as so many things of t)) e kind had been in agitation bsfore, and never cots'tl be brought to A point' s n,o 'other notice was taken of it than 'using cointnon precautions. 'Every arrangement that was made by these infa tuated people ,' sufficiently evinced,that some persons yet unknown, but riot - unsuipetixd,. at Sydney and Peramatta, had the principal direCtion these plans, and were only waiiing the success :. Cun ningham'S exertions. The alarm began "at Castle.H;ll about : eight o'clOek on .Sunday night, where there are upwards of 200 lrish_Prisoners (sent here for seditious kac* tires in Irelansl, by setting a hOuse on ,fire, and ringing the bell,. when Cunnipgham . appeared as the avowed leater, vociferating the cries of Death or Liberty I" and assuring those who Were joining him (aod.others who say they were compelled) that Sydney and Pa.rrathatta were in their poisession ; that they had nothing to do but obey his orders, and piton: der the Settlers of their arrns,foi which purpose-parties Were sent ()Win diff:rent direCtions), end :4fter being ur,ited- to march to Ha wkesbuty', where they ,were assured'ot their force being augmented to t zoo men, with Wh ch they were to return to on .Tuesday morning to breakfast, march f6ParNmitta; for the' possession of which two well known dis. affeeted persons were to be answerable ; and lifter' .planting the' Tree of Liberty at government House; they were to prOeied •to Sydney, the possession which was also supposed secured by three disal. • feCted charaCters, and 'Oen' embark on board. the Ships, which would also be ready to receive them: Such a tale, joined to the principles of the body hR was haranguing, removed 'all doubt, and such as the tietivity of the different parties, that every Set. tier in the wide extended range, from the Field of Mars round by Parrarnatta, .11.wilkham, and Seven Hilk, Prospect Hill, and Toongabee, were coin. pletely stripped of their arms and autmunition by six in the morning, which, in their cOnteSt with Major JOHNSTON,. amounted to one hundred and thirty-six mustjuets, fourteen pistols, arid. a great number of swords, bayonets, on poles, and piich-; forks, and there is little doubt that 'laity Of the pr mnpt measures that were adopted on the exigence of the moment had been omitted, the ! Banditti would have increased, their numbers and strength considerably at the Hawkeshury, where they were going, seconded the plans of their concealed direttors, and given .eunfidence to those who were then wavering or waitinglor the Iniurgents' success ; and what add. ed greatly to the check given, by themain body ing loured,_ was. the citcurnstauee of the so armed men. under flumes, and - 7o under Johnstou ; having' lost themselves.' Several parties of Settlers and others now pu the Insurgents in all diredions ; Lied tram AVlunclay noon to` Friday evening upwards , of .three htnAred were taken or gave themselves 'up, most of whom were dismissed and sent to their respefflt'e labour, with a caution and reprimand. Ten of those who were seleded from upwards of two hundred, as being tln most forward, including the two leaders, Johnstone and Humes, were tried on Thursday at , Par rairwtta by a General Court Martial,' when they were all sentenced to be hanged—Johnstone and Humes to be hung in chains. A patt of ;her sen 4 tence was carried into execniion at sixo'.elock 'on Thursday evening, upon Huines, Charles Hill, and . John Pierce, who acknowledged the justice of their sentence. .Humes gave much important infofmation respeding the. secret Contrivers; 'and on Friday morning Johnston, Harrington, and Neale, 'Were' executed at Castle. Hill, Johnstone giving similar information triliumes's ; and ou Saturday'Rrannan and Hogan suffered at Sydney,- Burke anal 11 1 1‘Car. rnick being reprieved. Five others received corporal punishment ; and about-thirty were ordered to-the dilTerent Gar)Lgangs,. until they can be otherwise disposed of. Thus ended a sudden Insurredion, that was .:as unexpeded as it is decidedly put an end to by t . tit great assistance gi v e n to t h e M easures ' whi c h the exigency of the moment required. On Friday afternoonMajur Jou N sroses Detach. ment marched into Sydney., where they were re. ceived by the Regiment, at; 1 dismissed Ami‘ht the gratol-ations of theft. :comrades and speetitius ; sod on Saturday morning tilt Excellency arrived at Sydney, after repealing Martial Law in the into. riot, On his arrival at the Regimental Parade, he Was received by Taieitt.
