from all towns occupied by the French, but large
messisumissita wee•being 'hipped by way of Man-

The rebellion which broke out in the Island of
St. Domingo on the 18th ult., caused a terrible
sad:calm of property and life. A large number of

and murdering all the sick in the hospitals, sparing
neither women nor children. On the 27th ult.
Porta Plata was invaded by 2,000 insurgents, who

of troops bad been despatches: from Havana and
Porto Rico, to midst is quelling the rebellion.

prospect that the great want of the island would be
supplied front the neighbouring over-populated
place.

ult. The resignation of the Hon. Dr. Henry was
accepted by the court. The Hon. Robert Smith
bad appealed to the government for protection
against the emigration of the immigrant labourers
to Surinam. as since the emancipation in that
colony numbers had left Demerara before com-
pleting the time of their indentures. The demand
for sugar for the United States continued to in-
crease. Mohasco was also in demand. The weather
was favourable for manufacturing operations, and
supply of sugar from the estates was ex-
pected the month. Tonnage was ample.
The exports of produce for the fortnight amounted
to—Sugar, 1,679 hhda. 114 trcs. 824 biz. 823 bags ;
rum, 835 puncheons 112 hbds. 69 Ws. ; molasses,
301 cks. Exchange on London : Bank bills, 90
days, 480 dollars.
Jamaica was still suffering from the severe
drought, so much so that in some of the south aide
parishes crops have entirely failed, and water
could hardly be obtained for the live stock. The
heat was intolerable, and much sickness prevailed.
Trade of all kinds was dull.
