THE INSURRECTION IN JAMAICA.
SOUTHAMPTON, Nov. 16.

The insurrection in Jamaica seems to be a pre-
mature outbreak, resulting from the arrest of one
of the conspirators who was to figure in the general
rising of natives on next Christmas-day. A number
of men, some of influence, had been travelling the
country for some time, addressing meetings on the
subject of negro wrongs, telling them they were
oppressed and ground down by taxes. This excited
the people, and they determined to seize the land
from all the landowners, white and coloured ; and,
after killing all the males and children, to share the
lands and women among themselves. A leading
man of the party was wanted for some crime, and,
on an attempt being made to arrest him, he raised a
revolt in his district, fortunately for the people of
Jamaica, prematurely. Had the natives risen all
over the island at Christmas, the whites and better
class of coloured people would have all probably
been murdered.

The volunteers and troops fought well, and by
vigorous measures put down the rebellion.
Upwards of 200 rebels have been shot or executed.
Some accounts give 400 as the number of rebels
executed. Some most barbarous murders were
perpetrated by the rebels, they having in the remote
and rude districts almost gone back to their savage
state. Many of the bodies of their victims in the
interior were terribly mutilated.

Paul Bogle, the leader of the rebel party, was
captured on Oct. 24, and brought in by the Maroons,
a reward of $2,000 having been offered for his head,
dead or alive. Ile was tried by court-martial on
the day the steamer sailed, and he, being known as
their leader, will without doubt be executed.

Gordon, the instigator of the rising, was tried
and condemned to death on the 21st and hanged on
the 23d.

Several arrests had been made in Kingston.

The disaffection, from the latest and most reliable
accounts, has only been prevented from spreading,
but the rebellion in great measure subdued. The
majority of rioters, including most of the ringleaders,
have been killed or taken, and peace and good order
was expected to reign throughout the island by next
packet.

Five hundred troops had arrived from Barbadoes,
and gone into the disturbed districts.
The Aurora and Galatea left Dominica for
Jamaica on the 25th inst. All was quiet at King-
ston when the mail left.

The following is an extract from a despatch o:
General Nelson :

" Head-quarters, Mount Bay, Oct. 24.

" The great rebel, Paul Bogle, has been captured
by the Maroons, under command of Colonel Fyfe.
His trial will forthwith begin. There is not a
chance of his escaping the punishment he so well
deserves. At 6 p.m., Moses Bogle (brother of Paul
Bogle), George Craddock (secretary to Paul Bogle),
and J. M'Laren (occasional secretary), and Barron,
called Captain-General, a notorious rebel, were
hanged. Paul Bogle's son-in-law, and the man
who first entered Mr. Fare's house, await execution.
Colonel Fyfe reports that he has captured a number
of the rebels armed with cutlasses, but no time to
give names."

WAR BETWEEN SPAIN AND CHILI.

SOUTAIIMPTON, Nov. 16.

The advices received here per the Tasmanian
confirm the declaration of war between Spain and
Chili.

On Admiral Pareja's arrival at Valparaiso on
the Anniversary-day he sent to the Government of
Chili demanding immediate satisfaction for the in-
sults offered to Spain, and if in four days the repara-
tion he demanded was not given he would proceed
to extreme measures.
The manner of Admiral Pareja's procedure was
said to be most offensive to Chili, his despatch
being in the form of an arbitrary and insulting ulti-
matum, demanding that Chili should humble her-
self and salute the Spanish flag with 24 guns, after
which he would state what satisfaction he would
accept. The entire country of Chili rose in resent-
ment, and the Government replied that Chili could
not accede to AdmiralPareja's demand. He imme-
diately forwarded an ultimatum that hostile mea-
sures would be adopted on the following day.

The diplomatic corps met, and afterwards sent an

unanimous protest to Pareja against such high-
handed dealing with Chili. This proceeding ob-
tained a few hours' delay, but on the 24th Admiral
Pareja declared the blockade of all the Chilian
ports.

The Congress in both houses unanimously refused
Pareja's ultimatum, and at once passed a declara-
tion of war with Spain. A loan of $20,000,000
was at the same time authorised, and unlimited
power granted to the Executive for raising troops
and procuring stores, &C., against the enemy. Men
of all shades of opinion rallied round the Adminis-
tration with a determination that Spain should not
triumph over Chili.
Admiral Pareja addressed a circular to the Con-
sular body in Valparaiso allowing mutual vossels
ten days to discharge or load for neutral ports, in
which time all neutral ships mutt be cleared of
Chilian ports.
It was expected Pareja would bombard the coast
towns. His fleet numbers eight ships.
In business an unprecedented panic was created,
and a run was made on the banks, who all sus-
pended cash payments.

An application was at once made to Congress to
authorize the issue of bank notes, and a million and
a half of dollars was allowed to be issued on the
security of the capital of the banks.
The merchants and residents have held meetings
to induce their representatives, ministers, or consuls
to interfere for their protection.
Unfortunately no foreign Admiral or Commodore
has been in Valparaiso during these occurrences.
The British barks Clifton, Atosa, and Athelstan,
and the Hamburg bark Ricardo, arrived at Valpa-
raiso, but were not permitted to enter the harbour.
The British ships West Australia, Allan Sedgwick,
Elizabeth Hardgrove, and Edgbert, and the French
ship Napoleon 111. succeeded in running the
blockade. During the ten days allowed before the
blockade every available vessel was taken up with
her native produce, flour, &c. The Pacific Com-
pany's mail steamer was allowed to enter under
special permission. The naval force at Valparaiso
was not considered sufficient for the protection of
British interests, the Admiral being at Vancouver's
Island, and Commodore Harney, of the Leander, in
Callao Bay. The latter was deceived by Admiral
Pareja as to his intentions on the departure of the
Spanish fleet for Chili. Great dissatisfaction was
expressed at Valparaiso at the continued absence of
the Leander. The only British war vessels in that
port were the sloops Mutine, Columbine, and
Scout. The Leander was, however, hourly expected.

Senor Tavira, late Spanish Minister in Chili,
arrived by the Tasmanian, having been recalled
from his post by the Madrid Cabinet.

The Pacific company's steamer San Carlos was
allowed to coal and take in provisions only at Val-
paraiso, and when she had finished peremptorily

ordered from Chilian waters. The commander
entered a protest against this illegal treatment and
insult to the British flag.
Peru was much excited by the events in Chili.

Valparaiso exchange on London, 45 to 46,
nominal. Bar silver and copper—No sales on ac-
count of the blockade.

THE INSURRECTION, IN PERU AND
BOLIVIA.

From Bolivia it is announced that Gen. Melganjo
gained a victory over the revolutionists in Potosi,
taking many prisoners. He started thence for
Lapaz at the head of his army. Some of the leaders
of the revolution fled across the Andes.

The revolution in Peru was expected to die out,
constant defections having taken place in their
ranks. The troops were ill-fed and clothed, and
were becoming dispirited, and their leaders jealous
of each other.

The military governor in Arequipa had refused
obedience to the revolutionary President.
The British ship Leander sailed from Callao for
Valparaiso on the Bth.
