Long before the news of the insurrection in Am-
!myna was known in Europe, an English periodical
work, and Out of this wrtrir is London newspa4wr
gave orcosints of an insurrection in .lava itself,
wiliest it is trrr was soporeaseil in the origin, but
the suppression of which was soul to be attend-
ed wills such shocking circismitt men, nod the
conduct of the iiisurgent islanders was stated to
have been so mild, patient, and prudeot, that
from this and the severe manner in which it was
expressed, added to personal information, there
was reason to conclude that some other motives
besides humanity sod abhorrence of oppression
had auitnated the writers. This, which lorohably
prevented most of our Journals, from want of facts
to oppear, from making. muck mention of flit
