The following la nn extract, from a letter were-
ceived by,tlteiantitica (Wed the 14th ult.:—

" When the alarm of the insurrection at Bar-
badoes first Arrived at our island, we were struck
with terror indescribable, and immediately adopt-
ed the best measures for ottr safety. Yet the hor-
rors of St. Domingo presented themselves to our
imaginations, and whoever has read the account
of them, if even our bitterest enemies, will feel
exactly as we felt ourselves. But it was no time
to thiuk—we had to act : arms, ammunition, and
troops, were immediately sent off to the several
strong,holos in.the Island; the Militia were or-
dered to he,oo the ri vice,, and every precaution
ift our power was taken, as we fully expected the

i'no the. present day all has been quiet : some
had and evil disposed Negroes .have been appre-
hended, and some few examples had been mdde ;
hut, upon the whole. all accounts agree that the
Negroes throughout the Island appear very or-
derly, awl no symptoms of discontent have as yet
tostillested themselves.

" Vile are anxiously waiting for accounts from
England, in consequetice of this business, which
we Ernst will put stop to the Registry ; aucl
we look for a strong declaration from the Minis.
try and liorliament disavobling all idea of man..
eipation, for nothing sloo t i f ihat will undeceive
the negroes, as their ideas are most strongly im-
pressed with the opinion that this Reithitty Bill
was to register their freedom : the very name gives
it this colour, sod it is therefore not surprising,
that those ignorant people should suppose that
the King and Parliament intended to make theta
free.

" Notlong, In fact, short of this declaration
will rentove the strong impressions that the Re-
gistry liin bas wade u 4 t4eir minds. AL all events,

-silence that seems to prevail throughout the coon-
try, I fear bodes ►►o good."

By an al rival of German Papers this morning we
have more satisfactory accounts of the condition of
the Continental Harvest than we anticipated front
the ate of the weather. In Austria and Hun-
pry there is every prospect of a full average crop ;
and from the South of Italy the intelligence is
equally favourable.

ttiderated, The Besiegers did not for the last
two days previoui to the I Ith, assemble before

The Elector of Cassel has issued a very strong
Decree against the Monopoly of Grain in his do-
ininions. It ordains that a return of the stock on
hand of every dealer shall he giVen in to the Co-

market within a limited time, and soltlat the cur-

tain the following :—" In six or eight days an
uxpedition is to sail, composed of 4000 men, be-•
longing to the troops lately arrived from Lisbon,
and commanded by General Lacoa. Theclesti-
nation of these troops is Maldonado and Monte-
video. We also• learn, tbat ou the frontiers a
quantity of troops are in euutonissents, whose
number is not less than 000 nsen, part of whom
have atready made an hostile movemeso ;so to,.
quarter of Missiones, Every thing indicates that
the plan is to gee possession of at least the East
side of the River Nate. . Opposition against so
formidable a force cannot take, place, particularly
if the army of Pazuxi.A is stationed in the neigh-
bourhood of Salta, as is expected to be the case.
nil crisis will not last long, and after it is over,
the Western shore will remain uninbah'itable; and
on the contrary, the caitern sitle, occupied by the
Portuguese, will shortly be the most interesting
point of their whole monarchy."

There is a Meeting- called for Monday the 29th,

in the best way, afforded t') the prior of the diffe-
rent districts, by the efforts of Local Conimittees
throughout the kingdom—to the Agricultural, or
oilier persons distressed by t be loss of their tvinal
employments of industrious occupation. To enter
on the extent of these wants, or their cause,
in thii place, quite superfluous ; they arc admitted.
The ninigatinn and relief, as far as possible, by
public commiseration and assistance, is the ob-
ject sought for and highly desirable.' This re•
quires deliberate and prudent consideration,which
probably be referred t o a numerous Commit teo
of high and respectable persons of all ranks and
parties, to unite with diligent and anxious care
their endeavours to he extensively
useful in dot
relief of the want and distress of preseot
time of change and difficulty. Exaggerated ex-
pectations must not be hastily forme,l, nor el"
pitical pretensions listened to, front any quarter.
No doubt should be entertained that the discre.
tion, prudence, zeal, and, patriotic character of
this Meeting will be able to effect much useful
good in the various daises and conditions Of the
poor.
