MARSEILLES, MAY 16.

It is calculated that General Guilleminot, our new
Ambassador to the Porte, who sailed from Toulon on
the Bth, will arrive at Constantinople by the end of this
month. He is accompanied not only by several diplo-
matic characters, but by several able Officers of Engi-
neers, besides his old Aides• de-Camp, so that his retinue
is very numerous. Some of these persons are intended
fur Missions to Asia, especially to Persia, whither some
of the Officers also are to be sent. On the whole, Guil.;
leminot appears to have special orders to employ all the
means in his power to restore the influence of France,
which has so greatly declined since the Revolution. The
present state of things is very favourable to this plan.
The complaints which the French merchants have

made for many years past, especially since the mission
of the Marquis Riviera, and which have been so long
neglected on account of the state of politics, are now
to be redressed as far as possible. Count Guilleminot
will therefore urgently demand the restoration to the

French of all the privileges which they formerly en-
joyed in the Levant, and, however detrimental this may
be to the interest of another nation, it is still hoped that
he will attain his object. We understand that he is the
bearer of magnificent presents for the Sultan, and for
the Minister of the Porte.
According to accounts which we have received from
Egypt, it seems to be doubtful whether the Viceroy w ill
furnish a large body of troops to j.lin the Tut kish ex-
pedition against Greece. It is affirmed that the Viceroy
has alleged the late catastrophe at Cairo as an excuse
for delaying his co-operation in that expedition, how-
ever, he promises to furnish troops at a future time.—
All this will not contribute to confirm him in the favour
of the Sultan. With respect to the c ttastroplie at Cairo,
there are numerous reports in circulation, which lead to
the inftitence that it Wit) by no intan3 accidental. But

these reports are bit too slightly authenticated to ac-
serve credit.

We are sadly putzied with the intelligence from De.
merara in two respectable Glasgow Papers, bath or
which have derived their news by the same conveyance,
the Paragon, which arrived in the Clyde hst Thm sday.
The Glasgow Herald of Friday, says—" The Paragon
arrived last night in the Clyde, from Demet arcs, whence
she sailed or, the 20th April, when all was pet fectly trap.
gull." The Glasgow Courier, however, which is Parris.
lady attentive to ch.! West Indies, and has frequenti,
early intelligence fro:n those Colonies, contains the 101.
lowing very different account of the state of Denial dr2,
M THE OLA SGOW COURIER.

By the Paragon, arrived in the 2lyde last Tnursd2y
afternoon, we have received files of Demerara Parer;
to the 20th, in:d also pt irate letters to the 421st Ari!,
These bring its the intelligence that to that date la)
open revolt had taken pl,ce, but that the utmost alarm
and anxiety prevailed. E% et y man was at his pn,t;
but let the following extract of a letter, written on the
evening of the 1911,, by a well-informed and old resit
dent in the Colony, speak to our Readers the tt ue state
of affairs. The reported in.surrection in Surinam is by
no means improbable, and will add to the danger of
Demerara..

"We have all been under arms or the last ten days, come.
quently no ht.siness has bisen done. Mout the period just mer.
firmed, information was given to the Governor, that there was
a general rising of the slaves, on Easter Monday (this day), and that
it was their intention to destroy the whole of the white population.
IA discovery; however, has fortunately pieveered the attempt, at
least till the hour I ant row writing (7 e.m.) Oor country Militia
are all assembled at the different depots, and we have about lour
hundred of the 27th Regiment: altogether ahont IWO under arms.
Our slave population is 70,000, of which 20,000 are effective attf-
bodied tam, yet we consider ourselves far more than a much M.-
them. But the eystem stow pursuing at home, will, in a very
time, effect the total ruin of the Colony. It is quite impossii,:,: t,
do any business, trove the constant agitation in which peol•1e.
minds are kept, and ire see no probability of a speedy terminatiu.
being put to this state of things.
P.S. 1 hear there has beets an insurrection in Surinam,
great many lives lost."

'e regret extremely to ob,erve, from a Barba-_IN,.
Paper (11w Globe) that a dangerous spitit of insubordi-
nation is rapidly extending it%e:ramongNt the Slave 0-
pulation of that Colony. The master's authority iy ge-
nerally disregarded, and treated with cleri)ion and cut,
tempt. Hence proceed acts of violence, and continued
and open scenes of dissipation and debauchery, whicl:
no threats of punishment can deter. Such only provoke
insolence and defiance in• return. The strongest mea-
sures of precaution ate recommended. Every day,'
says the Editor, 4, discovers some news• cause of alarm."
