EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM SAVANNA?! LA MAR OF

THE '23D JUNE.

There hu been no communication from Argyle since Saturday
last, but there are rumours of a most unpleasant nature relative to
the sables in this and the neighbouring parishes to windward; in
fact, the cloud seems to gather instead of dispersing: a moat deter-
mined villain is just now going up the stairs of our Court House, to
be put under guard tM the Magistrates meet.

FROM THE JAMAICA COURANT OF THE 26TH JUNE.

We are concerned we have to inform our readers, that the slaves
at Montego Bay have evinced a spirit of insubordination, and many
of them bare escaped from the town into the woods. Two Com-
panies of the 91st Regiment marched yesterday morning from
Spanish Town. We deem it advisable to be silent on their route.
Four Companies of the 92d, and a detachment of Artillery, em-
barked yesterday afternoon on board the Hussar frigate, for the
north side.

The above was prepared for press, when we received further
notice that a trooper arrived at Spanish Town yesterday about mid-
day, from St. Ann's, bringing dispatches from St. James's. His
Grace immediately Issued an order to the Captain of the St. Cathe-
rine's troops, for two pickets to be stationed on the roads leading to
St. Thomas in the Vale, and• St. Dorothy's. An orderly trooper.
who had been dispatched from Montego Bay to Savannah la Mar,
had not been heard of, nor had the dispatches been received at the
quarters addressed to. A report was in circulation in this city yester_
day, that the slaves at Burley Park had manifested acts of insuboi%
dination. We are happy to say this arose from the trash-house
having accidentally caught are.

In a preceding column we have given some further
particulars respecting the capture of Ipsara, copied
from the Journal des Debats ; the account is, however,
in many respects improbable, and certainly exaggerated.
That Ipsara fell throtigh treachery, we have little doubt;
but it is not very probable that the Albanians, who ten-
dered the Turks so important a service as that of be
traying Ipsara to them, should be their first victims;
and as to upwards of 7,000 old men, women, and chil-
dren being massacred, and their heads hung to the
shrouds and yards of the ships, we do aot believe a word
of it. Ipsara had not 7,000 persons to sacrifice, had
ITurkish vengeance required so many victims.

Frankfort Papers to the 7th inst. reached us this morn-
ing. One of them states, that a very vigorous, but
necessary and wholesome ordinance has been issued by
the Prince of Salts IiILDBERMIAUSEN against lotteries;
whoever puts into the lottery shall pay a fine of fifteen
dollars, or be punished by imprisonment and hard
labour. Collectors are to pay sixty dollars, to be sent
for three weeks to the House of Correction, and if they
have any public employment; they are to be dieprited
of it. Persons travelling for foreign lotteries shall be
placed under the care of the police, as suspicious and
daigerous persons, and if necessary sent out of the
country. The names of such persons as are detected
gambling in the lottery shall be published. Those who
know how many families, nay, whole villages, have
been totally ruined by the lottery, will not think the
law too severe.
