JAMAICA.

The following additional particulars of the meditated,
insurrection in Jamaica, have becn received at Glasgow
and Liverpool. The plot, it is said, was discovered only
thirty hours before the time fixed to carry it into effect.

GLASGOW, FEBRUARY 3.
We are extremely sorry to say, that letters to the 24th
December were received in Glasgow yesterday, from
Jamaica, stating that a diabolical spirit had shewn itself
among the Negroes in the parish of St. Mary's, and that
their object was chi destruction of the white population.
Fortunately the plot was discovered before carried into
execution. The militia turned out and seized the ring-
leaders, eight of whom were hanged. So much were
they alarmed for the general rising among the Negroes
in the Island of Jamaica, that his Grace the Governor
issued an Order, commanding that a Captain's Guard
should be mounted, in each parish, during the holidays,
from 24th December until the 4th of January.

EXTRACT OF A LETTER RECEIVED THIS MORNING.

“ MONTEGO BAY, DEC. 19.

" My friend Mr. S. has just rnformed me, that he
heard the Negroes, on Unity Hall estate, in the parish
of St. James (he being behind a hut) enter into conver-
sation respecting their intention of rebelling at Christ-
mas, and they were only waiting for ten more esfates
to join them, when they would set fire to the trash-
houses, overseers houses, &c. and, in the confusion
murder the white people, as they were informed the
King had made them free. Colonel Lawson has ordered
a guard en board the Hall at Great River, and the
Artillitry,at the fort commences this evening."
POSTECIIIPT TO A LETTER DATED KINGSTON, DEC. 24.

" The people are all on the alert—all in arms this
morning, in consequence of the execution of eight
negroes for insurrection, and sitting fire to a trash-
house, in order to entice the neighbouring white people
to the place, as is usual in cases of fire, and then to put
them to death."—Glasgow Courier.
The following extract of a letter, dated St. Mary's,
Jamaica, 20th December, 1823, received by a respect-
able mercantile house in Liverpool, appears in the Li-
verpool CoUrier.
You will, of course, hear muck by the packet of the intended
insurrection of the slaves on the north side. As my residence ad-
joins Frontier Estate, St. Mary's, the plantation that is supposed so
hay.t taken the lead in the diabolical attempt in this parish, and having
all day yesterday attended the trials of three of the conspiratura,
who were found guilty and sentenced to be hung, what I relate ate
absolute facts taken from evidence. From the anxiety of one of
the party (who had a sou living with a Gentleman on Port Maria)
to get his child out of the way of harm, he advised him, on the full
of the moon, to leave his master's house and hide, as the negroes
would rise that night and set fire to the trash-houses and works of
Frontier, and, as the white people came out, immediately destroy
then; that, upon the fire of Frontier being discovered, the other
estates were to follow their example, and then proceed in a body,
.
and spare nu one. The boy, it is supposed, anxious for his master s
life, begged him to go on board ship to sleep that night, and take all
his papers and money. So strange arequest front the boy made his
master question him more particularly, when he named seven of the
above-named estate's negroes, as ringleaders, which being corrobo-
rated by other evidence, they were, before dark on the 18th, taken
and lodged in irons on board the different ships in the harbour."

This forenoon we received the Monaca?. of Wednes-
day, by Express, the morning and evening Papers of the
preceding day having previously reached us by the ordi-
nary Mail. The Moniteur, in its official part, contains
two Royal Ordonnances ; the first relating to the Bank
of Deposits, and the other regulating the admission of
Candidates for the Royal Marine and Polytechnic,
schools.

On Tuesday the FrenchFunds,which, like our own, have
long been on the advance, were, for the first time, at
par, and the Rentes were even purchased at a premium
for the end of the month of March, at 100 francs 10
centimes. In a preceding page we have given some
intelligence from Spain which shews the distracted state
of that country, notwithstanding the assertions to the
contrary in the Spanish Journals, which represent the
Royalist Army as rapidly reorganising. It is said that
the Gardes-du-Corps of King FEnritNargo VII. are to
resume their duty about his person on the sth February,
being the anniversary of the fatal sth of February, 1821,
when the Revolutionists besieged them in their quar-
ters. One would have thought that they would not
have been very anxious to perpetuate the memory of
that day.
Private letters from Spain state, as a curious fact,
that in consequence of orders received from Madrid,
the Officer in Estramadura entrustei with the organi-
zation of the new army, in a placard which he posted on
the walls of 13adajoz, stated, that as his MAJESTY could
no longer trust to the existing army, he was induced to
invite his faithful subjects to enlist in the new corps
about to be formed. As soon as the contents of these
placards were known to the French Commander, he
ordered one of his Officers to pull them all down. The
letters add, that there is a Guerilla party of 100 men in
the Province of Estramadura, who lately entered
Zafra, a rich town, of about 1,000 inhabitants, whets
they levied a contribution, and remained for several
days. The Commander's name is Corta.o, formerly a
superior Officer of Cuirassiers. In the neighbourhood of
Badajoz there is also another Guerilla party of 80 men;
commanded by Sums, a well•known personage. The

French have been unable to pursue these patties, in'
consequence of the want of cavalry, as they have only
with them, in Badajoz, the 35th Regiment and a com-
pan), of cavalry. In several parts of Spain there are
also other Guerilla parties moving about, which bid
defiance to all authority emanating from the KING. All
of them are well mounted, and their partisans increase.
It is said, on the authority of private letters from Bar-
celona of the 24th ult. that great discontent prevails in
Catalonia, and that the Army of the Faith are now as
much the enemies of the invaders of the Peninsula as
they were a short time ago their friends. According to
this account the Baron d'EaoLis, on receiving the ap-
pointment of Governor-General of Catalonia, encamped,
as has already been stated, at Sarria and Gracia, with
an army of six thousand Spanish troops, when he de-
manded admission for himself and for his soldiers into
Barcelona, and, .at the same time, produced the order
addressed to him, to enter this city with his Spanish
troops. The French Governor of Barcelona refused

. _
permission to the Baron to enter that city with his army,
for such he alleged to be the orders which he had re-
ceived from the Ministers of his Most Christian MA-
JESTY, and a great deal of irritation between the Baron
and the Governor had been the consequence.

It is mated, in a private letter from Coruima of the

16th ult. that a large guerilla party had appeared in
Gallicia, and two days before the date of this letter an
attack had been made on a convent about three leagues
from Corunna, and thirty-two obnoxious Priests had
been put to death.

The following extracts are from the non-official part
of the Moniteur of Wednesday:

PARIS, FEBRUARI 4.
