HODGSON AND CO'S EAST INDIA SOUJEE.
THE high esteem in which the SOUJEE
is held in the East Indies, as a favourite article of
food, both by the nativ,s and European residents, has in•
(lured the proprietor to offer it to the public as an article
far superior to Sagn, Arrow-root, Millet, or any vegetable
production yet discovered, for making delicious PUD-
DINGS, DIET DRINK, INFANTS' FOOD, &c., al-0
for thickening Soups, and Broths. For INFANTS and
INVALIDS it is particularly recommended, as from its
containing a very small proportion of acid, it is not liable
to turn sour on the stomach.

(Concluded from our Fourth Page.)

diately ordered the detachment, who were all mounted, to dash
into the mill-yard, and the rebels were dispersed. In this attack
(I understood from information afterwards received) there were
two of them killed anti one wounded. Upon this occasion I have
to notice that Ensign Reanie, with a small advanced detachment,
was extremely active, and throughout the whole duty which the
regiment had to perform, I was ably supported by this officer.
Upon my arrival at quarters, I found the company of the
Saint James's regiment had arrived under the command
of Captain Ewart, at about five o'clock. At about
seven o'clock the rebels advanced upon us in four columns. The
first body moved upon the trash-houses, to one of which they set
fire, and became engaged with Captain Ewurt's company and
picquet-guard of the western interior under Ensign Gibbes.
The officers and men behaved in the most gallant manner, and
shortly dispersed the enemy. This division, from the statement
of Captain Ewart, consisted of about forty men. The three other
divisions attacked the main body of the NV. I regiment, who had
been formed into solid square, and kept up a considerable firing
of musketry upon them. The regiment reserved their fire until
the rebels had advanced within thirty or forty yards, when they
commenced a very rapid fire, which continued for about twetity
minutes when the enemy dispersed in all directions. One
body of the enemy, who attacked by the main road, could not
have consisted of less than two hundred men ; the num-
bers in the other divisions I could not judge of, as they
were covered by a stone wall fence and the Hill-house, but both
divisions appeared to have many tire-arms. Where all behaved
with so much gallantry, it would be invidious to name any indi-
vidual, at the same time I cannot omit mentioning that Mr.
Rhodes Evans, 'a gentleman resident in the W. I. district, and
who had volunteered his services, distinguished himself, and I
am under great obligations for his able assistance. I must also
state that I was much indebted to Captain Balme for his judici-
ous suggestions to me during and after the engagement. I re-
gret to add, that in this encounter, we had one man killed and
ti.ur wounded, and Major King's and Scrjeant Sewell's hats were
shot through, but they received no injury. I could not learn the
exact number of the rebels killed and wounded, but 1 understood
afterwards that they admitted they had lost ten men killed and
twenty-five wounded. The company of the Saint James's regi-
ment, together with the W. 1., lay under,arms the remainder of
the night.

On the 30th I ordered one of the companies of the Westmore-
land regiment to move up to Montpelier ; but as I could place
no dependence on their doing so, from the correspondence which
I had with the officer commanding the detachment, and as the
company of the Saint James's regiment most positively refused
to remain at the post, and being in want of both ammunition
and provision, I called a meeting of the officers, and they were
unanimously of opinion that I could not maintain the Twist and
I therefore retreated with the whole body to Montego Bay: The
information received by the company from St. James's was, that
an overwhelming body of negroes was collecting in every guar-
ter around us, and I also received similar information. my
arrival at Montego Bay, I was ordered by Colonel Lawson to de-
tach a company to Catherine-hall estate, and the remainder of
the regiment remained for the night at Upton, and without any
thing to eat.
On the 31st, 1 was ordered by Colonel Lawson to move the
whole of my force to support a detachment of the St. James's
regiment, at Fairfield estate, and I did so (with the exception
of a few men left to guard the baggage) but found no detachment
' there, and 1 therefore placed the regiment at Catherine-hall
estate, where it now remains, excepting one company, sent to
Fairfield by your orders.
You will observe, by the correspondence between the officers
Of the Westmoreland regiment and myself, what sort of support
I could expect from them. I have also to add that the men have
been most wretchedly supplied with provisions, and little or no
assistance has been rendered to them. In fact, in one case, where
a cart had been engaged to carry up supplies to Montpelier, it
was appropriated to carrying those for a division of the St.
James's regiment at Latium.
Our arms are generally very inefficient, and seventy stand,
which had been purchased for the use of the W. I. regiment,
have been otherwise appropriated. I have also to notice that I
have not had time to cast a sufficient number of balls and to
make cartridges (the usual musket-ball and cartridge not suiting
the rifle-pieces), and several of the men have only the suit of
clothes on their backs, and which they have now worn four or
the days, their servants having been intercepted by the negroes
in attemptingfo carry their'clothes to the guard,' and a few of
the officers are nearly-in the same situation.
The cartridge paper, which I lately received from the stores, is
so very bad that it cannot be used; and I must, therefore, re.
quest an order from you on Colonel
,Lawson, to supply me with
I have, &c.
half a ream.

MarcThioneal, January 3, 183°.
illy Loar,—As a Magistrate of this district, t feel it my duty
to Make • known to your Lordship the state of insubordination
amounting, I may almost say,. to rebellion, under which the
slave population labour.
I yesterday morning heard that my own people, as well as
those of foiir adjacenk estates, lead refusesl to go to their work.
I it,ed every persuasion, but with po effect ;—every hour since
informs 'us of Similar delinquency tin the' past of tither estates ;
and from the-manner in which the insubordination first chews
itself, there can be no doubt but that it is organised upon a system.
To protect this district, fourteen miles In lengthy and containing
a popiilatibn or '.ineb tiiousand slaVes, we have only one
company of militia for our protection, whose utmost
force I may estimate at forty. We have sent to Port Antonio for
military assistance, but I fear the similar insubordination existing
there, will prevent the possibility of any assistance coming fromthat quarter. I will venture to suggest that a nu,n-of-war of a
small class, with a detachment of troops on board, it speedily
sent round, may possibly restore tranquillity. The harbour is
bad, but still is frequented by merchantmen ; at any rate, the
man-of_war may be in communication with the vessel stationed at
Port Antonio, I have just heard

Montego Bay, Jan. 3, 1832, Mid-day.
MY Loan,--The burnings are executed from signals on the
heights by moveable parties of negroes, not belonging to the
properties they set on fire, but the negroes on those properties
must be in the conspiracy, and co-operators when these men
arrive, otherwise they have the means of preventing their effect-
ing their purpose. The whole of the men shot yesterday stated
they had been told by white people for a long time past they
were to be free at Christmas, and that their freedom order had
actually come out from England, but was withheld ; that they
had only to strike work en masse, and they should gain their ob-
ject. That the whole of the estates in Trelawny and St. James
had agreed so to do; that if they were attempted to be forced to
turn out to work, they were then to fire the properties, but not
the canes or the provision grounds, or their own huts; that this
would make the proprietors come to their terms. The above is
corroborated by the testimony of several others now under trial
and in prison. The men brought by the Blanche landed yester-
day evening, and I was enabled to send out four parties with
officers immediately to Fairfield, Belmont, St. Cathenne's Mount,
and across the river to Maroon Town.
The incendiaries set on fire Belvidere, as Captain Smith's
9.'2d was moving up. He immediately moved upon them, routed
them in every direction, and killed about fifteen men. But the
fire could not be extinguished. These posts continue occupied,
nor is there a man to be seen of the negroes, as I am just re-
torned from thence. But the woods are so thick in the neigh-
bourhood, and the paths by which they retire impassable for
any quick movement of British to overtake them. Accounts
from Colonel Hilton, at Rio Bueno, state as yet they are quiet.
but he is under apprehension of the estates of Lancaster,
Harmony-hall, Biddeford, Bengal, and Dornock.
He has his regiment at Rio Bueno, ISO men. 1 have desired
him to protect, as far as lie can, these estates, which he will be
enabled to do, if others do not break out. Accounts from Fal-
month are satisfactory. and Lucia district as yet is quiet. The
communication with 'Maroon town is now closed, as the rascals
from these environs have assembled there. To-morrow morning
I shall open the communication. Straggling parties of insur-
gents had got upon the Lucia road, and fired upon the dispatch
troopers. I have opened this morning that road, but the fellows
were seen and fled immediately into the woods, on seeing our
troops ; therefore, as they may return when the patroles are
away, and as it is impossible, except by dislodging them bodily,
to ensure safety on the roads, I shall make, as soon as I possibly
can, a forward movement altogether, leaving with the navy
merely sufficient men to protect Montego-Bay.
Combustibles were found in a house here belonging to the
wife of one of the men shot yesterday, and no doubt exists she
intended to fire it. She, with the incendiaries caught in the
fact, are now trying. The other prisoners, who amount to more
than one hundred, I have put at the disposal of the custos,
whose opinion is, in which I coincide, that those not actively im-
plicated as incendiaries, with the women, had better be dis-
missed in the interior, with some copies of the paper issued here.
(A copy of which I sent your Excellency yesterday.) The Com-
modore, who is most zealously active in wishing to co-operate in
every way with me, has permitted nearly one hundred and fifty
sailors and marines to land every evening, and be placed as
picquets on the roads leading from the town, and the fort is
under their charge. This is to me of the greatest assistance.
Further than this, he has by row-boats protected the bay
and shores. The Blossom is at Savannah-la-Mar, and has
afforded assistance by marines and others to the town.—
If from any further accounts your Lordship may reeeive that
that part of the country is still threatened, I would beg you
would order Colonel M'Leod to send one hundred men from
Kingston and its neighbourhood, if you are all quiet there. But
recollect the importance of Fort Augustus, and the environs of
Kingston and Spanish Town, and I am sure you will agree with
me that it is absolutely requisite to have a large force disposable
there, should symptoms spew themselves there.
I have, &c.

The general court-martial have condemned two other negroes,

thought it my duty to confirm the sentences. I received every
assistance from the custos.
1 cannot communicate with Accompory, except by General
Robertson, with safety. I have written to Colonel Hilton to
call upon the Maroons to send a force to Belfont, and to cut Off
the insurgents from passing the Great River, and to offer three
hundred dollars for their bringing in any of the chiefs of the in-
surrection : they are known to General Robertson. If the Ma-
roons will cover the Great River from Chesterfield to Packet
Spring, we prevent them effectually from entering Westmore-
land. General Robertson occupies Nassau, St. Elizabeth. I find
the greatest difficulty in acquiring the means of moving pro-
cisions, which alove prevents my moving this day,

Montego-Bay,Jan. 3, 183'2.
SIR,--1 have received your despatch, announcing the decla-
ration of martial law, as soon as it came to hand, being Sunday
afternoon, the Ist instant ; I caused proclamation to be made
accordingly, and the rules and articles of war to be read to the
militia under arms.
The Major-General will inform his Excellency respecting the
military operations.
The militia to a man are zealous and loyal, no praise can be too
high for their courage and conduct.
Yesterday Bellefield estate was destroyed, being within three
miles of the town; an officer and twelve men were stationed
there, but were driven off by numbers. A detachment of the
on the next estate (Fairfield) marched upon the rebels, but
too late to save the buildings; however they killed twelve of
them, and must have wounded many. The Ramble (the great
house of Bellefield, and on the hill above it) was burnt at the
same time.

It is supposed that a hundred plantations and settlements are
already in ashes. If the rebellion spreads, our force is quite in-
sufficient to put it down ; all depends on the moral effects of the
employment of the King's troops.
Sir Willoughby has put forth a proclamation offering a pardon
to all but principals and chiefs; I have some hopes that, backed
by an imposing force, and the many losses the rebels have already
suffered, this measure will cause amongst them differences and
suspicions of each other, if it answers no other purpose. As yet
the insurgents have exhibited the most wretched cowardice.
Captain George Gordon has done much mischief from his post at
Latium ; he has destroyed the negro_houses of many properties,
when the negroes had first destroyed the works. Five rebels have
been tried by court.martial and shot; a woman, also condemned
was spared. I think she should be hanged. I learn from Major
Campbell that, assisted by a party of the 29. d, he has held out at
Schawearth. He states many negroes are fleeing into the woods
where they must soon starve. I have, &c.,
