ITALY

LOMBARDY.—We have adviccs from Turin to
the Ist inst., and from Milan to the 31st ult. The
Piedmontese army was encamp, d on the :30th before
Cremona. It was on the evening of that day, that
in a biieliant attack on the enemy the Helens were
routed and 2,oNna prisoners taken. It appears from
this that Itadetaki had already crossed too Oglio, so
that the theatre of operations, at the date of these
advices, was the tract of the Cremonese included be-
tween the Oglio, the Po, and he Adda, the Piedinan-
tore lines being formed on the left banks of the latter
rivers, and extending from Cremona by Pizzeghettonr •
towardiLodi. A glance at the map will show how
ar the gates of Milan the cent, at has been brought.
The report of the evacuation of Pesehiera is contra-
dicted ; that fortress is well provisioned, and 18, more-
over, accessible by the lake.
The Pieflowntesr 6,;:clfe of the Ist inst. publishes
a letter from General Weldor to the l'roviaional Go-
vernmect of Venice, in which, after in orming them of
the victory of the Austrians, he advises them to treat
for peace. The Provisional Government, in its answer,
intorms General Walden that Venice cannot trent ale: e
in a cause which belongs to all Italy; and that, even
though that cause were redueed to Venice alone, it I
would still be far from being lost.
Marshal ltadetzki has addressed a proclamation to
the Milanese, calling on them to submit, and pro-
^ misine• them all the Niftiest liberties that they can de-
sire, and which Austria at prey nt enjoys. The Italian
journals do not publish the text of this proclamation.
The Venlithie Mann of Milan, of the 31st ult., con-
tains sev.ml decrees of the Provisional Govornment,
ordering the admission of all sorts of provisions into
Milan duty free, menacing with destitution ail public
functionary who neglects his post, establishing a per-1
mauent council of war, and putting in requisition alll
breaks possessed by private individuals fur the service
of the state. A circular has also been issued to all tke
curates of Lombardy, recommending them to preach
patriotism" from the pulpit, in the squares, and wher-
ever the people meet." In a proclamation to the people
the committee of public defence states that Gen. Man-
tredo Fanti has arrived, and that conse-
quently the committee is complete, and hopes
to derive great advantage from his expe-
rience of guerilla warfare a-quired in Spain.
It further states that the Piedmottese army,
concentrating along the Oglio, is re-organising—its
artillery is complete; Brescia is placed io a state of
defence; the enemy has been repulsed with loss from
the Tousle ; the defiles of the Stelvio and Caffiro are
secured ; and that, in a council of war held that morn-
ing (30th ult), after a mature examination of the
nano of defence, it had been unaninwasly decided
that Milan womd resist at all costs. " Let us thin,"
says the proclamation, " be seized with the same
ardour of the five immortal days. Let us raise our
barricades again, en' the bridges, the dykes, the roads;
let us put desolation between us and the enemy ; let
us prove that we can resist misfortune, and that should
an overwhelming force menace us, we deserve the as-
sistance and sympathy of all Europe. We possess
many element of secure confidence, but we must, be
prepared. And shoald God call us to a terrible trial
we will sustain it intrepidly, in the faith that the day
of his justice will dawn."
Reinforcements, contributions, and supplies were
arriving seal in progress to Charles Albeit from his
own states. The reinforcements reported amounted
to upwards of 21,000. Besides this, 30 battalions of
the I'icdmontese National Guard were mobilised.
Including the forces in the duchies, at Ferrara,
Venice, and elsewheto, the total amount of the army
under the command of Charles Albert was estimated
at ;Nu), while Recletski had at his disposal, not
120,000, as was repotted, but less than half that
tumber.
Tire reports of the revolts against the Austrians at
Treviso and Padua prove to be without foundation.
At Brescia, General Griffini was proclaimed
dictator. Two batteries of artillery were sent
from Milan to delved the bridge of Lodi. The
construction of the intrenehments round Milan was
commenced on the 31st. Preparations were made to
send waggons to meet the French army, in case it
should cross the Alps. Charles Albert had already
made preparations to fix his head quarters at Milan.
ROME.—In the Chamber of Deputies at Rome, on
the '24th ult., the Minister of War was called upon to
state what measures he halt adopted to repress the
violence of the Austrians in the neighbourhood of
Ferrara. He replied that he had given orders for
the departure of troops, but had not been able to do
anything on an extensive scale, as there were no dis-
posable funds in the public treasury. All the force
which he could send consisted, he said, of 2,000 men.
It was then proposed that a committee of armament,
of five members, should be appointed, and M. Mamie:A,
after a patriotic saeech, was proposed by M. Beasparte
as president of the committee. It was finally decided,
however, that the committee should not be appointed
until after the formation of a ministry, The Con'ent-
, !wane') of Rome, of the 25th, mentions a report
which, it says, it can hardly credit, that M. Itossi,
ex-peer of France, has been ordered by the Popo to
prepare a list of milliliters for his consideration.
NAl'L'S.—Despatches kora our Naples °ogres-
pendent of the 30th ult. have been received. Our
correspondent gives the outline Of the Sicilian coast'.

tution, from which every aristocratic. element of the
constitution of 1812 has disappeared. The peerage
for life is abolished, and an elective senate substi-
tuted. The chambers have voted a civil list of 240,000
ducats, besides two palaces at Palermo and Messina,
country palaces, &c. The King of Naples had found
it impracticable to carry into effect the forced
loan in its original unqualified sense, and was obliged
to give it up as regards merchants and professional
men. The Fives on the 29th were at 851.
Other letters say that the English and French
squadrons having signified to the Neapolitan Com-
mandant of the citadel or Messina, that he must Imme-
chati ly evacuate the fort, he has accordingly done so,
and the tort is at this moment in the power of the
Sicilians.
The Journal Constitutionnel des deter Siciles of the
24th says, Advices from the provinces of Salerno
state that the insurgents in the valley and near Sala
have been dispersed. Many have made their submis-
sion and are teing disarmed. In the Calabrias order
is completely restored. Provisional national guards
have been organised."

GERMANY.

AUSTRIA.—Wo have news from Vienna of the
lst of August. The emperor having refused to return
to Vienna, he will send Archduke Charles, who is
generally disliked. The Camarillo. of Innapruck has
thus triumphed. 'When this resolution was corn-
municuted by Dobblhoff to the diet, a dead silence
ensued. The minister then stated that he could only
hold indirect communication with the supreme head
of the state, but that so long as he possessed the con-
fidence of the assembly, he should retain his post.
After stating that the emperor had expressed his
readiness to send his brother, Francis Charles, to the
capital, with full power to act as his deputy, the
minister recommended the assembly to appoint a
deputation to wait upon the emperor, in order to
point out to him that his return was not to be delayed
(unaufachiehbar).
The debate respecting the appointment of a com-
mittee for the purpose of drawing up " an energetic
address" to the emperor, urging him to returnimme-
diately to his capital, has given much satisfaction to
the inhabitants. Several speakers delivered their
opinions with an independence of spirit and resoltee-
nese of tone that must at once show his Majesty, un-
less he be completely blinded, or, perhaps, or erateed
by his dangerous counsellors (male and female) at
Inespruck, that he has no time to lose in entrusting
himself to his subjects in the capital, in preference to
the Camarilla that is placing hie imperial, if not his
royal throne (to say nothing of his " apostolic" title)
in danger, and that it is his duty, as well as
his interest, to listen to the advice of his con
stitutioral ministers, rather than to a female
coterie, piqued to the extreme by the recent acquisi-
tion of liberty, on the part of the Austrians, and even
by the justly merited honours paid on all tides to the
amiable and popular (though court cut) spouse of the
Archduke John, Vicar of the German empire. It
must be stated here, however, that the address itself
(as subsequently agreed upon by the diet, after the
members of the left or radical side had abruptly
withdrawn, en masse, from the house) is tame, com-
pared with the speech, s that preceded it. The repoit
of those speeches will have reached the fugitive court
before the address arrives, so that the vehemency of
he former will more than compensate for the mode-
rate expressions of the latter. The Minister of Jus-
tice has announced that the trial of the parties
implicated in the recent insurrection in Prague will
be public.
The Archduke Stephen has left Pesth in order to
convey another address to the emperor, imploring
him to proceed to that Hungarian capital. The Arch-
duke John, before leaving for Frankfurt, addressed a
farewell proclamation to the citizens of Vienna, and
officially resigned his post as the Emperor's (slier ego.
A few days more and the fate of Austria Proper, per-
haps of the Austrian empire, will be decided one way
or the other. Archduke John left Vienna on the 31st.
He would teach Ratisbon on the lst, Langenfeld, be-
tween Nuremburg and Wurzburg, on the 2nd, and
would then come on to Frankfort. He had not
reached that town en the 4th.
PRUSSIA.—The dates from Berlin are to the 4th
of August. It will be remembered that immediately
after the appearance of tho circular of the central
minister of war in Frankfort, calling upon the Prus-
sian army to show, on a certain day, signs of allegi-
ance to the Vicar of the Empire, a great outcry was
raised in Berlin by all parties, liberal as well es retro-
grade, against this so-called attack upon Prussian
independence. A few days' reflection, however,
served to convince the liberals that in joining in the
cry they were merely serving the ends of their poli-
tical opponents, and Resisting to destroy the cascent
unity of Germany. The consequence ie, that the
former party has became more enthusiastic than ever
in favour of that unity, and has convoked severali,
large meetings in order to denounce the exclusive
Prussomania (Preessentheni) of the ultra court
party. At an immense public meeting on the Ist
inst., it was agreed to forward an address to the Fran-
kfort Assembly, expressing regret that the people of
Berlin should have been, fur a moment, misled, respect-
ing the tendencies of the above assembly,declaring that
they see much danger for their l'russian fatherland in
the predominancy of an un-German Prussomania,
and placing all their national hopes in the unity of
Germany.
The pr eipect of a renewal of the war between this
country and Denmark is exciting the greatest discon-
tent in the three Baltic provinces, which are, in a
mercantile point of view, the chief sufferers by the
war. A number of the leading shipowners and mer-
chants of Dautzic have even gone so far as to declare,
in an address lately forwarded to the government,
that they shall tot contribute one farthing to the vo-
luntary loan, in case the interests of the three old pro-
vinces of the kingdom should be still disregarded (as
heretofore) by a continuance of the useless and sense-
less wer (nutzlos nod toulersinnig Krieg). The people
of Stettin complain of the heavy sacrifices they
are called upon to make. In Berlin, the little enthu-
siasm which at one time prevailed in favour of the
war with Denmark has gradual.y died away. It is
stated in one of the Berlin papers, that on the 28. h
ult., 13 Russian vessels of war and some steamers
were going through some naval maw-rumen off the
island o: Itugen—en isle belonging to Prussia.
A serious collision took place at Breslau on the
31st ult., between the civic guard and the troops of
the line. Eight of the former were killed and six-
teen wounded. Two of the latter were also wounded.
A numerously-signed democratic address will be
shortly forwarded from Berlin to the ninety-two
members of the Frankfort Assembly who formed the
minority on the vote for the vicar. The address urges
them to secede from that " body of royal servants."
Government has, at last, resolved to lay before the
constituent assembly a bill for the total suppression of
the so-called patrimonial (or private) tribunals of jus-
tice, which were remnants of feudal times; the go-
vernment is, consequently, prepared to undertake to
defray all the expenses incidental to the administra-
tion ofjus'i v. Even the tribunals of the mediatised
princes will be abolished. Such a sweeping re-
form was loudly- called for. General Von Bela w had
returned lo B :lin from Vienna; and Cul. Willi-en,
the brother of the humane general who commanded
in Posen, has gone on an extraordinary mission to
Paris. It is feared that all the compositors of Ber-
lin (including those engaged on newspapers) will
strike work to-morrow, as their employers have not
acceded to the terms drawn up at the compositors'
congress in Mayence. A battalion of marines, 042
strong, is about to be formed in Stettin.
FRANKFORT, Are. 3.—The national assembly
decided that the election of Hecker, as the deputy to
the assembly for Thieogene (B iden), was null and
void, and authorised the government to proceed to a
new election.
WURTEMBERG.—The following paragraph ap-
pears in the Cologne Gazette of the 3rd inst. :
" Stuttgard, July 30.—Oar troops have been with-
drawn from the Baden territory and stationed at
Tuttingen, on the frontiers, in order to be ready every
moment to march again into that duchy if there
should be, as expected after the harvest, another
movement on the part of Hecker's republican par-
tisans." The same journal states that the reports re-
specting the contemplated abdication of the King are
nut altogether unfounded. It is added that his stay
in Menus (Tyrol) will be a protracted one.

ECUADOR—Fears were continually prevailing
on account of the movements of Gen. Flores. A partial
outbrt ak had occurred in his favour, at Ibarre, but it had
been checked. It was the common opinion that he would
arrive at Callao in the rummer of May.

ATTACK ON A STEAM-BOAT BY
from For, fl,utou, near the Falls of s.lieseuri, of tht 1,.

Of May, has been received at New York. The Indians at
rat Benton were quite hostile towards tech other. About
the midd.e of April a war party of 20 Crow or Upsaraqua
Indians, made an incursion into the Blackfoot country, for
the purpose. mainly, of stealing horses. They committed
tome petty depredations, and were about retiring, when they
were overtaken and surrounded by a large party of a band
of Blackfeet, called Ores dee Ventres of the Plaine, and en
tirely "wiped out." This hat given rise to retalia-
tion, and the Crows were preparing for a preda-
tory warfare ageing their powerful neighbours. The
Bet above referred to is represented as having
t en place near the confluence of the Maria and
Upper Teton rkers. The officers of the steamer Martha,
which brouaht the news,wwed that on their upward trip they
experienced come mole.tation from the Sioux Indians. When
the boat arrived at the site of old Fort Lookout, near the
mouth of White Clay River, a large body of Yancton
Biota were bound congregated on the bank. It was won
aseertaine ! that these Indians were there in expectation of
the receipt of an annual present, whish, rince the expiration
tf their onnohy in '42, they laser been in the habit of receiv-
ing. On this oculist,,,, however, the agent had nothing to
give them, and the result was much dpcunteut. As soon as
the hoit sea, secured to the bank about ono hundred
armed warriors marched on board, and soon became
very inso!ent. Obw rviog the position of affairs, Captain
La Barge ordered the boat to be put under way ; hut on
the he was threatened by the wily savages, who seizing the
buckets, pat out the hr.,. A scene of tumult etsued, in
which Charles Smith, one of the hands of the Martha, was
shot in the hack part of the head and killed. Many shots
were also firel from the shore, and *caveat persons were
slightly wounded. With much difficulty the agent and some
ingot ntial teal rs on boat.l succeeded in propitiwing the
Indians, and the hat was at length permitted to pass with-
out further m"lestvion. These Yanetons have long been
the lets of the government and traders, and this is but a
fair sample of the manner in which, for the last fifteen or
twenty year, they have shown their gratitude.

LA PLATA.—By an arrival at New York we are
in po>seseion of intelligence fruit Monte Video to the 9tli ul
June. We have stated that Boas had tent in his ultimatum
to the etlect that he was willing to make a settlement when
the parti, s sieve him some twenty millions as an indemnifica-
tion for elsmagi a done • ins during the war, and the English
to merit to Los lie FALL au t Islnnile. 'These propositions,
ua in mer ceurse. could riot be thought of for a moment.
The town of Monte Video has been nhliEred to lay very
heavy t sus upoz.. all provisions to sustain the troops. They
have also laid • heavy tan neon land, the collection
of which they are molting, notwithstanding many long
and severe protests made by some of the foreiim consuls,
The French Dave officially declared their intentions to re.
blockade all the Boston Ayrun ports, as also those in the
B. Oriental, in the liesseesion of Argentine troops. As
many vessel, had gone into those porta during the time that
the b.usiende of the ports woo raised, stud had not yet finished
tilde loading ur discharging, 15 days were to he allowed to
all still thi re to tom! lete their a. rangements and be off. The
blockade was to be of the strictest nature, and no vessel to
be al:owed C-. 1 pass in during the 15 days; consequently.
liglvering from Buenos Acres to Ensenada, and rice Term,
would be stopped, and this would effectually stop the
loading of the 'earls, u during winter the only mode of
getting produce to Eusenada from Buenos Ayres is by water,
as the road, are then impassah.e. It was not known whether
the English would join the Fritsch in the blockade. It is
not stated whether M. Oros had left for France.

llONDUltab.—Au arrival at New Orl.ans fur-
Dishes the l'alsylots with a letter noted Belize, Jure 23,
which s eys . —Th. re is neet:iiug new here. The difficulties
in Gu eteunala till continue. The mails are entirely sus-
pended. and we are at !resent unadvised of the actual state
of affairs there. Nothing from Mosquito territory. The
refugees from Bacalar are still among us. Their condition is
daily growing worse, and soon they will be reduced to actual
starera•ioa. They are now living on the proceeds of their
jewellery and other effects of value. We have an employ-
ment for user own people ; our mahogany cutters are dis-
charging their men, owing to the low prices of mahogany in
England. They new fully see and deeply deplore the entire
prostration o: all agriculture, industry, and commerce in the
British West ladles. Those who have estates curse the
emancipation of the negroes and the free-trade principles
which allow the Male products of other countries to enter
English market, on the soma footing as the flee labour
productions of her own colonies.
HAVANNAH.—A letter from Matanzas, of July
18, says the revolution in Cubs has been nipped in the nud
by the eap•nin general. A General Lops r, who was to have
taken the lead, barely escaped arrest by getting on beard a
ves-el bound for Rhode Island, where he would no doubt
confer with ex Governor Burr. Some arrests had been
made on the south side, and more were watched closely by
the government.
BOLIVIA.—Dates from Guayaquil are to the 17th
of June. Quiet still reigned there, but its continua .ce was
regarded as dubious in the extreme. A speeder rupture be-
tween the ministry of Glance and General Belau was pre-
dicted.

THE INSURRECTION OF THE ST. CROIX

NEG ROES.

Oar Southampton correspondent has transmitted
the following account', by an eye-witness, of the late hums.
reetion, by which the final ernancipw im of the negroes has
been pneipirated in this coLny:
The insurrection which has just taken place was a well
designed one on the o ,rt of the marina and the utmost
teensy up to the breaking forth of the rebellion was ob-
served amongst them. On Sunday, July 2, the morning
s ushered in as usual by the Sabbath bell calling the in
babitauts to the house of prays r; and peace and tranquil
enjeyment and religious feeling reigned triumphant through-
out the Sabbath day. In the evening of that day a coloured
woman informed a planter's wife, to whom she was attached,
that she had something of importance to reveal, and that
she could nut 'shell peacefully until she had divulged it.
This was no less than the astounding inteligeece that
an insurrection was planned on the part of the negroes.
The husband of the lady above alluded to, as
soon as he hi art this, went to the chief magistrate, but that
functionary was not at borne. Before the gentleman could
return to his house the alarm sign al was sounding from a
great numb rof estates on the nosh side of the island. The
blowing of conch shells er,d ringing of bells were answered
from one estate to another, until the whole island was in the
utennst alarm Several moon have stated that they never
meditated destruction of life or property ; that the only
thing desired was emancipation; and for this purpose they
msrehed into West send Town in the morning. Tee alarm
inereasing duping Sunday night, hundreds of the inhabitants
nulled on board the English ship the Bangalore, which for-
tunately hammed to be then in the harbour, leaving every
thine they possessed behind them. The night parsed without
any destruetim of property. At eight o'clock the fol-
lowing morning about two thousand manes from the
north tide mareted up to the town. They first went
to the tort and demanded their freedom, but were
told that Governor Van Shelton would mon be down,
and their emancip dim would I c proclaimed. After this,
they march. d about in different parts of the town uttering
the most hideous yells, armed with swords and bill-hooks;
rumbers of them had firearms. The insurgents were now
joined by about 3,000 Isom the south side and middle part of
the island They all en tin thneentre of the town, and im-
mediately commenced the work of destruction. The police
office and judge's house were completely sacked and torn
down ; the floors wire torn up, and every document (many
of them • f the greatest iscportance) destroyed. The court-
yard and rev t were covered with papers. The whipping-
post was uprooted, and carried in triumph to the wharf, and
thrown into the sea. They then destroyed the house inha-
bited by the judge's resistant. After that they went to the
fort and rote need the prisoners, and t Id the authorities that
if te,rirei was not proclaimed by 4in the afternoon, they
Ina:4 burn the tee n, and for this purpose Vu y had a
quantity et intlamma.de matter in their possession. At this
period the scene woo truly awful: about 5,000 of these infu-
riated deems, were in front of the fort, threatening to pull
down the Danish flag, and substitute the British one, which
they carnet: as a randard. Many of them bad killed hogs, and
Mingled the blood of lie slaughtered animals with ram and
gunpewdi r, and drank it, to madden themselves. At this titre
not a shot had been fired at them, although they exasperated
the soldis non the ramparts by calling them cowards and
putting their hands on the murales of the guns pointed at
them sad daring the soldiers to fire. A [gentleman. named
Moore, was on the ramparts!, and said to them, " If you do
not go away, Sou will be fired upon." Thinking that he
had given tic soldier orders to lire, they went immediately
and laundered and destroyed his house. Old wine,
in battles, amain 4,000 dollars value, and demijohns
of braady belonging to him, were destroyed. Large quadtis
ties of flour' meal, paint, and oil, belonging also to' Mr.
errapletely covered the streets for a long distance; a
sate* amount of dollars, and five-dollar notes, and a splendid
set of silver plate, worth 2,000 dollars, were carried off as
plunder.

About four in 0:7 afternoon the governor arrived in town.
Be scrod en the ramparts and spoke to the mob of insur-
ft nits, rotaetLing wldch Deemed to pacify them, and they
*cutaway. But still they were cliratisfied, and asserted
that they had not been told plainly that they should receive
their tnederm.
From 6 to 7 in the evening the excitement in the town
slated a little, but numbers entertained fears that the town
would he find during the night The most culpable nesli-
true war now nanites'ed by the authorities. The militia
was no' Witt' out, nor was there a guard set in any put of
the town to prevent mischief, and to protect the inhabitants.
In fact, the persons in authority seem to have been struck
Inizioultss through f ar of the infuriated negroes, who had
dttlei 'hem; suddenly at 8 o'clock at night a reflection of
N4l 4/ 'Mg* aid* wen visible, and in & Tory short time

the whole of the northern part of the bland was illuminated
with a most terrific cotiflioration. A negro named Adam,
from Rose Mill, had set tire to a dwelling situated on the
Oxford state, which originated this dreadful lire. The
alarm and excitement in the town at this tints was terrific,
and the shrieks and tries of the people on shore, crying for
boats and assistance from the shipping, were truly heart-
rending : the darkness of the night added to the horrible
scene.

For two successive nights tires were Mar in, In different parts
of the island. On Tuesday morning the insurgents were
again approaching the town, but learning that the military
authorities had determined to fire on them they returned
into the country, and commenced the work of destruct
tion. They destroyed the allowance cellars, curing
and dwelling•houses and, after plundering as much
as they wanted to make use of, they scattered
meal, sugar, and herring* all over the estates. On some
estates the well-disposed biacks fought deep, rattly with the
insurgents, to protect their masters' property. The estates
that have suffered most are, Spreat Hall, Rose Hill, Con
enrdia, Negro Bsy, Golden Gore, Manning's Bay, Di^unt
Pleasant, Emny, Clifton Hill, Cooper's, Negro Bay, Para.
dise, Mount S ewart. Mr. knight's honed at N., ro Bay
has been sacked ; all the furniture broken, do horkeada of
the best sugar scattered over the yard, snit 6,000 gallons of
run thriwn away. Mr. Lucas's house at Mount Pleasant
was also gutted, and everything destroyed. The destruction
of property towards Basin has been greater ; and they would
have entered the town, and utterly destroyed it, iI it ha.l not
been for the courage of Mr. Cutchin. lie commanded a
field-piece at the entrance of the town, fired on
the blinks as they were approaching it, and
killed two, and wounded nine, which territi
the others. and drove them into the country. Upwards of
a hundred negroes have been shot in the upper part of the
island ; seven have been cond. mned, end two of the ring-
leaders have been shot at the fort gate. After trial several
more will be also put to death ; most of the ringl aders have
been taken. The principal ringleader, Irons Lagrange, who
assumed the title General Budd*, is at large with a large
number of followers. A provisional government has been
appoint. din both towns. General Von Shulton has been
deposed for his incapacity. On the 10;11 July a meeting of
the planter. in Basin took place, and six of them were ap-
pointed to frame laws and regulate the price of lat.our In
that part of the island.
On a few ~fates the newton have commenced work ag kin,
but in most others they have refused to do so except on their
own terms. A much larger military force than is at present
stationed here will be necesAry to protect the ;eland in
future. The prosperity of the inland is in et rierably rained.

SLAVE INSURRECTION AT ST. MARTIN'S AND
Sr. EIATATIA.—The barque Polka, which arrived at New
York Irons St. Martin's, 2Nth ult., brought the tull"wing re-
port of slave results and emancipation* in that vicinity :.
The emancipation of the slave. took plan!, on the Trcucb
portion of the Wand of St. Martin, on the 3rd of June, and
the whole black population, eta moue, paraded the street,
with tokens of rejoicing. After several days a port of them
returned to work on the plantations, while others remained
unoccupied, but quiet. In consequent eof the emancipation
of slavery on the Fr. neh port of the Island of Nt. Martin,
the estate owners and ether proprietors oa the Dutch part
had met and agreed to continence their treatment of slaves
on the free principle, and to grant such amelioration as
was consistent, end at once to ask the mother govern-
ment to complete the work of emancipation. Th s
step quitred the minds of the people. and the work
of gathering salt commenced on the June, with •
prispect of a crop of three to four hundred thousand
bushels. The want of water was interne, and small vicsals
were kept running to SL Kitts for a impply, but were not
able to obtain an adequate el.:entity. The Dutch p linters
were in expectation that if the mother country granted the
emancipation of the slaves indemnity would be made to
theta. Three were no troops at St. Martin's, and inhabi-
tante were at t'.e mercy of the slaves, who did jinn as th-y
pleased. A great nnmher of the inhabitants talked of leasing
the island, At St. Eustatic there had been a revolt of the
negroes, in repressing which several were wounded. The
rin.deaders were taken and placed on board the Dutch
man of-war Pyl, bound to C-araica, where they would he
tried. It was also rated that four negroes were laded during
the insurrection at St. Eustatia.
