AMERICAN AND LEEIVaRD ISLAND I

PAPER:.

American papers to the Bth of July were re-
ceived on Saturday.
Letters from Bermuda allude to an intended
infurretion of the Blacks in Martinique of a very
ferious nature. The alleflination of all the Whites
in the ifland was the °bled of this atrocious con-
(-piracy, which, it is (hied, was fet on font by ono
of the rebellious Chiefs who had made his efcape
from Guadaloupe. Fortunately a ditioverY was
made feveral days before the ezplofion was to ta7 e
Axe, and all the Whigs being prepared for de-
fence, this defperate enterprize was ah.indon- *.
The author of the confpiracy was fent back ,o
Guadaloupe in chains, with a demand on the p. 11.:
of our Commander that he litould intiantly be p: t
to death.

By the fame channel we learn, that a great
number of the French fettlers in iVLirtinicple are
taking fleps to remove to Trinidad; and indeed
in all the ceded Iflands there is reafim to exp Let
that there will bt a fimilar defire of emizririen.
The French colonial fyllem is lb impolitic; it is fo
little calculated to ingPire wealthy fettlers with
confidence, that nothing but neceifity can retain
the moft confiderable planters in any of the French
poiTeillons. _

The anniverfary of American Independence was
celebrated with the ufual demonarations of joy.
It was perhaps deficient in the fplendour which
charaelerized the celebration on former years.
On Saturday a Mail was received at the Poll.•
Office from the Leeward Mantis, brought to Fal-
mouth by the Townfend packet, in 29 days from
Tortola. The paffengers in the Townfend were,
the Rev. H. CAMPBELL, from Antigua ; Captain
ARBUTHNOT, of the Bth Weil India Regiment,
and Capt. Rowe, from St. Kitts, and Mr. Picrat.
INC, from Tortola.

Intelligence is received from Jamaica by the
Albion and the Richard, which veifels arrived off
Dover on Friday. They mention that the malig.
nant fever, which had been fo fatal at Cape Fran-
cois, was almoft wholly confined to that port, and
that the reli of St. Domingo was tolerably healthy
and tranquil.
Letters from Kingfton, St. Vincent's, of July 3,
Rate, that an ad has been publifhed for granting
a falary to Mr. BENTINCK, as Captain. General
and Governor of that illand. He had appointed
a meeting of the Legiflature to take place, (portly
after winch it was expelled that his Excellency
would proceed to the fale, &c. of the Carib Ifiands.
which was the immediate objed of hi s ;ping thither.
The Affembly have voted a piece of plate to Mr.
OTTLEY, who was the ailing Governor,
Letters from Baffeterre, St. Kitt's,
date, that accounts from Guadaloupe
that the authority of the Government
eitablilhed throughout the :amid, and th.
Bands are now reduced to a few fcatt
badly appointed parties, who, howevs
Fume alarm in the plantations contiguat
haunts, and form points of rendezvocus t,
