AMERICA.V P4PER.I.

Yesterday we received a file of American Papers to the
Bth January. Their contents are uninteresting. The fol-
lowing are extracts:—
WASHINGTON, JAN. 1.
Yesterday a message was received from the President, commu-
nicating a list of papers relating to the conduct of the Greeks,
which was ordered to be printed. Nothing else of importance has
been before Congress. This day, notwithstanding the inclemency
of the weigher, an unusual number of permits waited on the Pre-
sident of the United States, so offer him the compliments of the
season. This has always been the custom. The rooms were
crowded to overflowing. All the heads of the departments, except
the Secretary of the Treasury. all the foreign Ministers, and Ge-
neral D'Evereux from Colombia, were proem.
Ccienates—ln the senate, on Friday, a letter was received
from the Secretary of State, stating that a. portrait of Colunibus
had been teteltd at his department, presented to Congress and
the nation by O. 0. !Jarrell, 641. American COIIPIII at Malaga.
Mr. Lowrie presented two memorials from Philadelphia for a re-
vision of the wit Mr. Smith submitted a resolution, the object
of which is, to employ the corps of engineers to explore the country
between the Allegheny and Siitiquel,frina, with a view to connect
those waters by canals. Mr. llavne communicated to the Senate a
resolution of the Legislature of South Carolina, expressing the
sympathy felt by that body In the cause of the Greeks, and the
pleasure they should feel at the recognition of the independence of
that people. Mr. Holmes, of Maine. gave notice. that on Monday
next he should ask leave to introduce a bill the better to secure the
accountability of public officers.
In the House of Representatives, Mr. Poinsett euggeu:d to Mr.
Webster the propriety of postponing his resolution concerning the
Greeks, until the President should communicate information rela-
tive to the threatened interference of the HolyAlliince in the affairs
of South America. Mr.NVebster expressed great solicitude to take
up the Greek subject as soon as possible, but consented to let it lie
on the table a few days, aNI not to call it op this day—The Heuer
adopted the resolution of Mr. Brock, calling for a statement of our
trade with Greece, Asia Minor, end Egypt. They ordered the
Bill to a third reading for laying out a road from 51eraphis to
Little Rock. The annual report from tbs rietretary of the Trea-
sury was received, and 6,009 copses ordered td be printed.

Extract of a letter from St. Mary's, dated the 20th :
" We have had the whole Regiment out, and seven rebellious fel-
lows, belonging to Frontier, have been taken up. Three were
tried yesterday, found guilty, and sentenced to suffer death. Four
more are at present on their trial, who, I have no doubt, will share
the fate of the others. We have not, as yet, any assistance from
the regulars.
" Sunday Morning—The four fellows who were on their trial,
have been convicted and sentenced to be hanged. The sentence
awaits the approval of his Grace."
Extract of another letter, dated the 21st :—" The militia here
have all been under arms since Tuesday, in consequence of a plot
being discovered among the negroes, which had for its object the
burning of the estates, and the destruction of all the white people;
those of Frontier estate and Port-Maria were to have begun the
insurrection. There were eight men, seven belonging to Frontier,
and one to Jaws Walker, Esq. condemned yesterday to be hang-
ed. The expresses to the Governor left Port-Maria at half-past
six last night. The head driver on Oxford estate was taken into
custody yesterday afternoon. None else has yet been discovered.
The negroes on the neighbouring estates seem perfectly quiet and
satisfied." _

if the machinations of a pow.-rfol and interested party wive not
sufficiently active for the work of destruction, the sanction of Minis-
terial authority halt been made subservient to their views, and a
decree has gone forth, wheteby the inhabitants of this once taluable

are destined to be offered • propitiatory sacrifice at the altar of

humanity, the House need no pharisaical dictator to prompt them

of their feelings, their regard to the safety, honour, and welfare of

sion, they have proceeded to a deliberate and careful revision of the

Slave population as happy and comfintable in every respect as the

the Critical circumstances in which the Colony is now placed by
raison of the IMO proceedings in the British Parliament. the House
think the present moment peculiarly unfavourable for discussions,
which may have • tendency to unsettle the minds cf the negro
population, which the House have the greatest maws to believe is
at present perfectly quiet and contented."
Yesterday the engrossed amend el Memorial to the King was read
and agreed to. It is as follows:
" We, your Majesty's most dutiful and loyal subjects, the As-
sembly ofJamalca, have of lateyears frequently prayed your Ma-
jesty to take our oppressed state into your royal consideration.
It is with pain that we once more remind your Majesty of our
grievances : our fellow-subjects in Greet Britain and Ireland have
been relieved of their burdens, but the sufferings of this Colony
have eves increased since our last addrem was presented to your
Majesty.
" Instead of repealing the War Duties on our produce, which
have reduced oar fonstituents to the condition of bailiffs on their
own land, the protecting duty on East India sugar hes been lowered,
and our eltuateon in consequence made worse than before.
" We are aware of the vast debt that was incurred during the
late war, and that a great revenue is necessary for the wants of the
empire; but your Majesty4s Ministers should assess your subjects
equally, and not confiscate the wealth of a few, who are weak and
at a distance, to lighten the contributions of the s:minder, who are
powerful, and who surround the seat of Government

Sir M. B. Clare moved, That the Memorial to his Majesty should
be sent to the Island Agent, with directions that he should present
the same in the most acceptable manner ; and that he should after-
wards cause it to be printed in the several London Papers.—
Agreed to.
On the motion of Sir M. B. Clare, it was ordered that the Me-
morial to the King should not be published in any of the papers
of this island, until after the sailing of the packet now in port.
Mr. Brown gave notice, that he would next Session bung in a
Bill to repeal the Registry Act; and, if he failed, he would pro-
pose a Resolution not to pay in expences. Mr. Hyslop said he
would second him.

learn what he knew about the matter. He said he had heard a

estate, told the that he bad heard an overseer of plantation Sew

REVOLT OF THE MILITANT AT *ALA, AND DREADFUL •
CATASTROTNE.—We are indebted to a gentleman of our
acquaintance here, for the perusal of a leuer received by hint t.
trim his brother, at Para, containing a detailed narrative
at an Insurrection amongst the soldiery there, to expel or
murder the Portuguese, and of a consequent deplorable
catastrophe, by which upwards of two hundred beings
came to a horrible death. The letter is dated on the
.20th of November, and was received by the Unity, ar-
rived here on Wednesday. Another account, published by
our contemporary, concludes by expressing some apprehen-
sions for the safety of our countrymen resident there,
as the lower classes were exasperated against them,
owing to the energetic conduct of Captain Grenfell (an
Englishman) of the brig of war Maranbad, who was •
mainly successful in putting down the revolt. But we
are happy to find by the letter we have received, that it '
was confidently thought that no further loss of property or '
life would ensue. The militia, together with the enrolled
natives and foreign inhabitants, would fonn a respectable
corps of preservatiod. The ammunition bad also been put
on board a vessel out of the reach of the molcontents, and
the ringleaders were no more.
By letters and papers from Demerara, to the 13th ult.
we learn that the colony continued in a state of great agi-
tation, on account of the secrecy respecting the verdict upon •
Smith, the Missionary, and the deli), necessarily occa-
sioned by the whole proceedings being referred, by the •
Governor, to his Majesty's Ministers. It is now reported
that he has been found guilty, but recommended to mercy,
and that the Governor refers the whole proceedings to his
Majesty, as the source of mercy. The Governor-General,
Murray, it was expected, would leave the Colony in a
short time, having been superseded in his command.
Si Ls Wk:ayses.—.l meeting of the Engine Silk
Weavers took place on Thursday night, at the Red Lion,

it was agreed to accede to the masters terms. On this
