We are happy to learn that dispatches have been.re-
ceived by Government from Demerara, of the date of
the 31st August, which completely confirm the satis-
factory but unofficial accounts which we yesterday laid
before our Readers.
It is true, as was stated, that on the first intimation re-
ceived by Major-General Muuttmt, the Governor, on''
the 18th of August, of a probability of insurrectionary
movements on the part of the Slaves in a particular dis-
trict, he hastened to the spot, accompanied by a small
detachment of mounted militia, with the object, in the
first instance, of securing a principal ringleader, which
was accomplished.

The Governor having attempted, by personal expos-
tulation with detached parties of the revolted Negroes,
to deter them from their criminal enterprise, but without
success, he felt it necessary to proclaith Martial Law,
and to direct those military movements against the In-
surgents on the 19th and 20th of August, which, as our
Readers have been apprised, were carried on with un-
interrupted success.

On the 20th and 27.,1, the Governor issued the two
Proclamations which we published yesterday, and on
the 31st of August, the period when the dispatches were
sent fiom the colony, the revolted slaves had all re-
tamed to their allegiance, surrendering their arms to
the military authorities, with the exception of one bun-
' dred negroes, who remained unaccounted for.
The professed object of the insurgent's was "
ditional Emancipation."
The explanation disseminated throughout the colony
that all measures of amelioration must entirely depend
upon the good conduct of the slave population, had
produced the most satisfactory impression.
No accounts have been received of any Whites having
been murdered in cold blood, although many were
placed in the stocks, and others treated with personal
indignity.
The General Court-Martial continues sitting in
George Town, for the trial of the leaders in these out-
' lager, some of whom had been executed. The reports
fiom Essequibo and the other parts of the Colony were
satisfactory, and the militia had been called out to pro-
tect the fire-arms, which were collected in depots.

We understand that it is the intention of Government
to send out, immediately, reinforcements of troops to Dc-
marara, as also to all the other colonies,, respecting
which apprehensions of similar disturbances are en-
tei tained.

We publish to-day what is alleged to be a true copy
of a Proclamation or Decree, issued by the King of
SPAIN, declaring all the acts of the Constitutional Go-
vernment, from the 7th March, 1820, of whatever kind
or description, null and vojd, including, of course, the
Convention of the 12th of March, 1823, for the pay-
ment ache British claims.—We have little doubt of the
authenticity of this document, but are far from
sharing in the apprehension which some persons
express, as to the influence it may have on. the
amicable relations between this country and Spain.
A learned Civilian has been at the pains, in his Pa-
per of this morning, to prove from Vattel, that by
the Law of Nations no such treaty as the Conven-
tion in question can be substantially affected by the
internal revolutions of a country. He advances what is
more to the point, when he observes, that if our Treaty
" had been unjust we would not have made it; and
having made it we shall not suffa it to be violated."
The King of SPAIN, although he may, for form's sake,
annul the Treaty as the act of the Constitutional Go-
vernment, will, of course, immediately adopt it of new
as his own Royal act and deed, and thus remove all
cause of quarrel between his MAJESTY and Great Britain.
