. St. John's, (Antigua) October l£, 1810.
-.Several letters were received in town from Guada
Sgjoupe on Sunday, but they contain nothing satisfae
i^Otory as to the events said to have occurred lately in
^rnat colony. They all indeed agree in representing
1 the disturbances'as of a much less serious aspect
^•pd extent, than we had been led to believe by for*
’ flier accounts, and sons* would teem to intimate,
that the causes of apprenension were more imagi
nary than real. Although it is admitted that a
great many persons were, at fir«4 ordered to de*
' part from the island within fifteen days, yet no posi
" live meution is made of the existence of a conspira
ey, nor any explanation given of the circumstances
which occasioned so much anxiety and apprehen
•ion to the government, as to induce it to adopt a
measure of so much severity.
It is therefore probable, that the writers nf these
, letters have not communicated all that they knew,
£- «r were unacquainted with the nature and object of
1 > the plans detected, as those in power might not
jtt^ge it expedient to disclose publickly, at present,
the particulars which have come to their knowledge.
. If this he not the case, and as it is an admitted
fhet, that several persons have been apprehended,
•aid ’more are under sentence of banishment, we
Riuit suppose that the officers holding the civil and
uiilitaiy administration o'f the island either have
been needlessly alarmed, and frighted with a bugbear
created by their own fancy, or that after guaran
teeing to the inhabitants, at the conquest, a peace
able residence, personal liberty, and security of
ptdpirtj, they arebow wantonly violating tbit sa
cred engagement, and persecuting every one whom
they rboose to Suspect. This conduct may very
#•11 suit the agents of Buonaparte, but cannot com
purl with that mildness and liberality of sentiment
.naturally instilled by the principles of our laws;
Por is it easily to be believed, that many .British
Subjects are to be found, who having themselves
breathed the free air of unconijned li Betty fiom their
birth, can capriciously sport with the privileges of
otheniSg Besides, in the present instance, the well
known disposition and conduct of the distinguished
characters in question, effectually secure them from
Iniy susptrion dishonourable to their head or heart.
It would appear in short, that no doubt ran be rea
sbtuhly entertained of insldunusdesigus having been
fSrmtH,'hostile to British interests, and that the
government bad pot exercised the power of punish
mentwithout due information.
* We have been favoured with the perusal of one of
^. ..
•V*
the above letters which is said to contain more infor
[ ' i'f;
mation upon the subject than any other. This at
lows that there are some persons residing in Guada
ldupe who are entirely devoted to Buonaparte, and,
mistake not, applies to them the term emissa
or incendiaries; bat it relates a fact, seemingly
'(MflheCause of this late disquietude apd commotion,
• which wo cannot for a moment ' think capable of
producing Vuch effects. At a Urge dinner, one of
the fellows just mentioned had the audacity to drink

"v ‘ ‘ ‘ Londow, September 2S, „
•" ' Death of'M)r. Abraham Gaidtmidi. 5 ■
Never was the city a scene of greater confusion
than U was daring the whole of this morning. Bu
tinets seemed at a stand, and the stock exrbange
and the avenues leading to it were crowded to ex
cess, to ascertain the particulars of an event we are
about to mention. It is the death of Mr. Abraham
Gold^midt, one of thereat contractors for the loan;
and we grieve to add, by his own hand. He shot
himselt thi* morning about eight o'clock, at his
bouse at Merton. The state of the public funds—
the attempts against, (which we adverted to some
time ago,) and couseqnent depression of the loan—
pei haps too, the recent death of one of the contrac
tors,- Sir Francis Barring, had for some days produ
ced at times an irritability of temper, and at others
a despondency wholly foreign from bis natural dis
position, which was mild, equable, and cheerful.
We have heard that he has of late, when in his of
(ice or in bis house, burst out in paroxysms against
what he declared to be a combination against hint,
in the midst of which he would burst out of the
room. In the moments of his anguish, be bss been
heard to declare, that he suffered more than be could
bear. He would then relapse into despondency and
silence. But still he was as attentive and active as
ever in his business. Our readers have remarked
that the funds have fluctuated more within tfyjr last
three weeks than they had done for some months
before. Omnium has been at 8 discount. One of
the great causes of this depreciation was trie fai
lures, which bad rendered large sales of stock ne
cessary; money in consequence became scarce, and
the difficulty of borrowing great. This was pecu
liarly unfortunate for those concerned in the loan,
which under such circumstances, could not but be
at discount. When, however, being at 8, U had
improved only to 5j discount, great hope was en
tertained that it would improve still more. But
more failures took place yesterday, and it left off at
Mr. Goldtaridt’s fortitude is said then to have
forsaken him, and we have heard that he retired
from the Stock Market yesterday in the deepest des
pondency. The first intelligence that reached the
stock fcxcbange this morning was, that Mr. Gold*,
inidt bad puta peitod to bis existence.
Words would be inadequate to express tbesur
ptisr. the alarm, and tbe dismay that was visible.'
The first price of three per cents was 6z£ ; they
fell soon to 63$, and were at 6* when our paper
was put to press. Omnium began at 7 disc, fell to
10, and was at 8 at 1 o’clock. The Stock Ex
change, Chapel Court, and even the Royal Ex*
chauge were crowded, all persons eagerly making
inquiries about tbis event, and almost forgetting
every thing else. Those concerned in tbe Stock
Market were making up their accounts, and little
or no real business was done. We question whe
ther peace or war suddenly made, ever created such
a bustle as the death of Mr. Goldsmidt. Few de
al's have yet transpired, except that he went to
Merlon last night in tbe greatest distress of mind_
that he rose "this morning at the usual hour, and
without speaking to any of bis family, wrnt into the
water closet where he blew his brains ont.
This is the second suicide in Mr. Goldsmidl’s fa
roily—but the first proceeded fiom different causes.
Mr. Goldsmidt was a man much beloved, liberal,
hospitable, and humane. He was tbe promoter of
all (heritable institutions ; and there are many per
sons who owe all their success in life to bis kind
ness and protection. Let us hope that such deeds
will be accepted as some atonement for this last act,
committed in a moment of phrenzy aod desperation.
