TO OUR READERS.

We have made arrangements for publishing,
on Friday/next, a SUPPLEMENTAL SHEET, the same size as
the STANDARD, which will contain a fall and accurate
account of the proceedings, attractions, entertain-
ments and festivities of the week. This supple-
ment will be presented to our readers without any ad'
ditional charge ; and from the complete arrangements
we have made, we have no doubt but that it' will bR
found to give a more extended report than can Possi-
bly be furnished by any other journal.
On Saturday morning a SECOND EDITION of the
supplement will contain fall details of the Fageg
Ball of Friday night; thus comprising in one sheet
the whole proceedings of the Festival.

TUESDAY MORNING,OCTOBER 1, 1533.

New York papers up to the 10th September, re-
ceived here on Saturday,last,.bring us the latest accounP
from Jamaica. These last are to the 18th August. °IJ
the 16th Lord MULGRAVE prorogued the General Assem-
bly, which should otherwise have met on the 27th AP-
gust, to the 3d of September. The object of this Pr°.
rogation was evidently for the purpose of allowing time,
fol. the arrival of the fullest details relative to the latex
edition of the new scheme of emancipation.
By the same channel we have advices from•the isla
of Dominica to the 14th July, at which time the col°•
nists were, labouring under much 'excitement and exa,
peration in consequence of the slave question. They
even go so far as to threaten an appeal to arms. In s
memorial forwarded to •England by the members of the
legislative body of the colony, the following sentime9t
are expressed :

"Your memorialists, as the legislating power of the free and Ott:
pendent constitution of Dominica, respectfully but firmly deeli,
that they cannot consent to give it up ; they respectfully but firms
declare that, without such concurrence, there exists no power that
legally enforce its evacuation in this colony. Your memorialists a.re
not insensible of the dangers to which these declarations may egAsef
them; they require not to 'be reminded of the omnipotent pover°
the British Parliament ; they can see, in no distant
perspective' tb:
protection of his Majesty's troops withdrawn, and the excited feelit
of a mass of new-born freemen, freed by a power which is not of t';
law, menacing their lives and destroying their properties. It is uncle.
the direct contemplation of these horrors that your memorialists te'f
peat their solenin declaration, never to give their sanction to an setf,
spoliation and injustice ; their own ruin and the ruin of their COnsiol
tuents must rest, with awful responsibility, on his Majesty's ministers
alone."
The writer adds—

" As we cannot get any arms from the King's arsenal here, we 111
ordered out muskets and accoutrements to the amount of £4oost
ling, with all possible despatch. I trust, if it comes to the pilSb, tw7,e
,
the Dominicans will not flinch from the declaration expressed in tP-
petition."

The New York papers are as usual extremely barren
of any political news relative to the United States. • 'r
following, however, from South America will be foil-
interestiug
" The Daily Advertise"' has received Bogo.ti papers to the 28th

" B;tract of a-letter from Carthagena, dated August B."—' BY the
post arrived to-day from Bogota, we are informed that an atternPt e

seventy in number, and being closely pursued, every hope is ante
tained of their being caught; and probably by this time they ha %
expiated their crime. No other fatal occurrence accompanies
business than the death of Col. Montoya. He was conveying urTbee
an arrest an officer of those implicated in the rebellion, when:o,
latter taking out a pistol, shot Montoya dead upon the spot. Eva

thing was in perfect tranquillity in Bogota when the post left on fr

firm—first, because their enemies no longer lurk in secret; and ~i
because by the exemplary punishment of the criminals, a due che"„t
is put upon the machinations of those who might be willing to ticOr
the same.'

generally believed, that should the British cabinet retur f
