The defatilters wbo were announced in the Cit, on
Saturday were principally confined to the Stockta4
change, except one broker, for an inconsiderable sum.
The funds too, for the• first time during the week,
were not only steady, but comparatively improved.
The Consols opened at 68 for money, and fiat for
next account, and left off about I better.

Exclusive of the accommodation derived from the
increase of the discounts at the Bank, other arrange-
ments have taken place, which will contribute, in a
very great degree, to revive and uphold mercantile
credit. On Friday evening a meeting was held, con-
sisting of the principal Bankers and Merchants of the
City, for the purpose of taking into consideration the
propriety and means of supporting such merchants as
were under temporary difficulties, and deserving of
assistance. Among the bankers who attended the
meeting were—SMITH, PAYNE, and SMITH ; MASTER-
MAN and Co. ; EVERETT and Co. ; VERE, DRUCE, and
Co. ; besides several others, and a number of the most
eminent merchants. After some discussion, ir was
determined that a proposal should be made to the
deditors of some of the houses under embarrassment,
to receive the full amount of their several demands
by four equal payments, in bills drawn at six, twelve,
eighteen, and twenty-four months, bearing interest.
This proposal was immediately accepted, and a list of
debts and assets, of which the following is a copy,
was laid before the meeting :

Four of the most respectable merchants in the linen
trade have been selected to superintend the affairs
of the above parties, viz. Mr. RICHARD FORT, Sir R.
GRAIIAbf, Mr. SHAW (of the house of SHAW and
FLETCHER) and another, whose name we have not
been able to ascertain.
It is said that a sum of six millions, in Bank of
England notes, has been transmitted to the country
for the purpose of supporting the credit of several
country banks. It ;s also said to be in the contempla-
tion of Government to indemnify the Bank in the
issue of three millions, to be lent on colonial produce,
or other property, as an accommodation at the pre-
sent conjuncture, when public credit has received so
severe a blow.

We understand that meetings of respectable inha-
bitants have been held at Exeter, and other places in
the West of England, at which a number of banking-
houses made frank and unreserved displays of tht
state of their property, by which it was. satisfactorily
shewn that they were possessed of funds fully ade-
quate to meet the present unprecedented juncture.
Tile consequence has been, a general restoration of
confidence in that populous and wealthy part of the
kingdom.

There has been no arrival from Cadiz since the
Delight, which sailed on the 30th ult. She was re-
leased from quarantine on Sunday se'nnight. The
French batteries on the Trocadero fire at every boat
that passes the Puntales to and from the watering-
place. On the 25th, the Eagle's boat was struck ;
and, before the boats could get to the assistance of the
people, two men were drowned. It should be men-
tioned, to the honour of the enemy, that they ceased
firing the moment they perceived the boat sinking ;
for they had it In their power to prevent any boats
approaching the wreck. The Expedition that sailed
from Cadiz under General LACEY, landed at Tarifa,
Algesiras, &c. and the troops are now in the Ronda,
in the rear of the French—the mountains of the
Ronda are seen from Cadiz. On their march they
were joined by many thousands of the peasantry, and'
4000 spare muskets were soon distnbuted among
them. It is calculated, that the force (which sailed
between 6 and 7000 strong) will be soon increased to
20,000 men. A supply of muskets has been sent
them from Cadiz. The works at the Isla are hourly
increasing in strength and number; and the enemy
seem too well aware what the result would be of an
attack, to hazard the loss of such a multitude of men
as would be sacrificed in the attempt. It is said,
General BowLEs has left Gibraltar, with 1000 British
troops, and has directed his march towards Malaga,
for the purpose of co-operating with the Patriots in
that quarter. The Spanish fleet at Cadiz are pre-
paring to proceed to Minorca, where, it is said, the Re.
gency have consented they shall be placed for safety.
The ROYAL SOVEREIGN had arrived at Gibraltar, on
her way to Cadiz, for the flag of Rear-Admiral PICK-
MORE. She left the fleet off Toulon on the 30th of
Max'. Sir CII .RLES COTTON, in the SAN JOSEF, had
arrived. The UNITE, Captain P. CAMPBELL, has been
successful, having taken many valuable prizes,

Intelligence has bees received from Surinam to the
date of the 21th of May. They state that a great
scarcity prevailed in that colony of almost all the in-
dispeusible articles of life. In consequence, a Pro-
clamation been issued by the Court of Police,
granting a bounty on the importation, in British and
neutral vessels, in the space of four weeks from the
10th of May, of 15 guilders per barrel of flour, and
five per hundred of rice, and two per hundred on
beans and peas. For four weeks further, a bounty
on the said articles 25 per cent. less than the above,
deducted at the expiration of each fortnight. It ap-
pears also, that, from the general prevalence of dry
weather at Berbice, Demerara, and Essequibo, the
plantain crops have mostly failed, and great appre-
hensions were entertained in those colonies, as well as
in Jamaica, that a famine would be the conse-
quence.

A Caraccas Gazettop of the date of the 11th May,

By this instrument, inserted in another part of our
p4per, it will be seen, that the vAst regions of South
America, during the present condition of the parent
state, deny its authority, but promise &tare obedi-
ence, if Spain should be resclvd from the grasp of the
tyrant, and a Constitution s .ould be formed connec-
ting America with the Eur peas Monarchy, on the
basis of equal 'liberties and la NS.

MASSACRE AT DOMINICA.
i I The ships Mars, FALCONER, from Dominica; Sa-,
i I I Mel, 1-11/813ERT, from Jamaica ; Thomas, WATIIELY,
i 1 from Martinique ; the Elizabeth, Success, and Mary
Ann, from St. Domingo, passed up Channel on Fri-
d4y, and were boarded by several boats from Ply-
mouth. They sailed on the 6th of June from Mar-
-1 i
.1
tinique, and left there the ALFRED, 74, and GROUPER
schooner. The 63d Font were at Martinique, in a
very sickly state ; several of the Officers, and many
of the men, had died. Captain LUCAS, of this regi-
ment, came home in the Thomas, on account of ill-
' health. During their pasiage, the above ships spoke
,
, several American vessels, nu their way to the West'
1 '
Indies, the Masters of which expressed themselves
`/' I much enraged at the conduct of Bow/iv/um, in con-
fiscating all American vessels in French ports; and
stated it to be the general wish throughout the United
States, that a reconciliation should take place with
England.
1 ' The Mars brings the account of a shocking mils-
,
i ' i sacre having taken place at Dominica. During the
. time the British Officers were at dinner, the Blacks
rushed into the nuts-room, and butchered the whole
• of them, with the exception of tivo. Several soldiers
and white settlers, also fell victims to their fin y. They
were at length quelled, and many of them put to
i death. Several others were confined in irons, for a
1 i • public execution.
,' j. A similar plot had been formed by the negroes at
Martinique, who were to have murdered all-the Bri-
tish (Meer s ; but the plan was fortunately discovered
and frus•rated by the great exertions of Colonel
FAIRFAx, of the 631 These plots are attributed to
