'ION IN JAMAICA.
--........

'She following extracts from letters received in Glas-
gow, communicating some further intelligence relating
to the late insurrection in Jamaica, are from the Glasgow
Qaties of SAturday.
" Montero Bey, June 15,1824.
▪ I regret tn say that we are all in a state of the greatest
possible alum ; six estates and pens are in a state of
open rebellion in Hanover, near our line, and there are,
from the latest accounts received from that district, up-
wards of SOO armed negro men in the woods, with
abundance of ammunition buried ; every hour fresh ac-
counts are received of the disaffection of other properties.
Our militia are all upon the alert, and I fear their duty
will be hard indeed. A most deep-laid and extensive
plot has been discovered, eight hours previous to its be-
ing carried into effect."
“ Pram the Upper Part of St. James's Parish. Awe 15.
" I am sorry to inform you a very alarming rebellion
has been discovered on the eve of breaking out on Ar-
gyle Estill", the property of Mr. John Malcolm. The
most able and effective negroes have taken to the woods,
and are killing cattle and committing every rebellious
act they can. The intelligence we know reached Spanish
Town on Sunday. The Hanover and Westmoreland
Militia, with the Interior Regiment, are out, and keep-
ing guard at different posts en the vicinity. if active
and vigorous measures are not adopted immediately.
there es no saying what the consequences may be, and
I fear the present Governor is not the man for such
times. The King's Proclamation is of no use. Mr.
Wilberforce's writings Ilan, produced this. Unless
something decisive is soon done, Goo only knows what
is to be our fate. We want troops, and not religious in-
structors; and I hope all connected with us will use
their influence with Government, and when they come
every parish should have a like protection; not to be
kept in the neighbourhood of Spanish Town or Kingston."
ZATTU, FROM THE 101021* OF HANOVIR
luaus, some 16.

" You will be sorry to hear that the north side of Jo
mica is again in a state of alarm, from the rebellious
spirit evinced on many estates in the parish of Hanover.
The first discovery was on Argyle Estate,,the property of
Mr. Maloales, They, the negroes, proposed to rise ea
the night ef llsel Ith inst. and in the first place mesa,
-
der their masrers ; then proceed to murder all the white
people on the estate, and after setting fire to the works,
to proceed to the next property, to murder and destroy
with fire all in their way.
41 This plot was happily discovered about ten o'clock,
the same forenoon, and niasures taken to frustrate their
phut the Western Interior Regiment was ordered out,
and is stationed at Argyle Estate ; there are also a body
of regulars at the Montpelier Bridge, and every mea-
sure is adopted to frustrate their evil designs. I will not
close this letter till the latest, and in the meantime, if
anything should occur, I shall inform you of it.
" 17th.—Nothing farther has occurred as yet, but the
account of the rebels having destroyed several horses
and mules betohging to Argyll Penn, also that they still
continue in a body. The Trash•liciuses of Alexandria
Estate have been burnt down, and as they took fire is
several places at the same time, it is fully believed if
was Intentionally done also, the overseer's house in
Golden Grove was forcibly entered, and all the fire,
aunt and ammunition taken away."
