()ci. 25.-I'or some time past there hits been a number
of sudden deaths among the planters of Maninique, as
also among the cattle, &c. belonging to the colinay,
which naturally created a suspicion that all was not as
it should be; and after a diligent enquiry it was disco-
vered that these deaths originated in poison, and that its
administration was confined to about 40 elevens, who
been in the habit of this vile practice for a length of lime.
They were immediately arrested for punishment.—The
news being carried to the different plantations where
they belonged, three plantations revolted, and before
they could be subdued committed several atrocious
murders, Dot only on the white male inhabitants, hut on
innocent females. The mulatto.• suffered also; and it
' is also worthy of remark, that the Negroes directed their
fury as much against the coloured people as the whites.
It is said that two Mulatto companies of infantry have
'hewn themselves very active in the suppression of this
affair. The last accounts from Martinique left the regu-
Ins and militia penning the fugitives us the inountains.
—About 200 have been ordered for execution ; that is t.
say, to be burnt. Si. Eustatia is almost in a state of
starvation, and has sent here fur supplies; but as they
have not forwarded money, they_ will get nothing.
The lollowing melancholy affair occurred in Tower-
sues', Seven Dialer—An old man named JOlll6 Constan-
tine. and his son, had a dispute about some family
matter, and the quarrel became so great that the son in
attempting to turn his father out of the room, pushed
him down stairs, and he was precipitated from top to
bottom. The poor old fellow was taken up in a lifeless
state, and although he received every medical attention.
he died from the injury he received in the fill.
