ships of war: Her Majesty's ship Imogene, Com-
modore Bennett, at Fort Royal, Jamaica ; her Ma-
jesty's ship Alarm, at the Havannah ; the Daring, pro-
tecting the British merchandise at Port-au-Prince. The
steamer Vixen was expected daily at Jacmel for the
same purpose; her Majesty's schooner Bermuda sailed
for Nicaragua; the Thunder and Lark, surveying-
vessels, were at the Northern Islands; the Trincomalee,
at Barbadoes.

The company's steam-ship Dee was at Jamaica; the
Conway, at St. Thomas's; Eagle and Reindeer, at Bar-
badoes, to convey mails to Demerara.
The Teviot brings information of au attempted revolt
at Jacmel among the blacks. About 1,000 riotously as-
sembled and attempted to destroy it by fire. The sole
diers and inhabitants immediately turned out, and saved
the town from destruction. It had been set on fire in
several places. When the steamer left the inhabitants
were hourly in expectation of another attack; if so, fears
were entertained for tho safety of the town. The consul
had written to Commodore Bennett, at Jamaica, for as-
sistance.

Many families who had fled from Martinique in con-
sequence of the late disturbances, had arrived at Porto
Rico, and had taken up a temporary abode there.
The accounts from all the West India islands are still
of the usual desponding character. There is a great de-
pression everywhere, and, in fact, no business being
transacted whatever. Demerara was, in particular, in a
very distressed state.
