WEST INDIES.

The Cornwall, Captain Morrison, which has ar6-,1 at
Liverpool from Demerara, called off Herb 'does On the 4 h
January. Martial law was to cease at Demerara on tt,e
Bth Jantrtry.
Eight of the ringleaderti concerned in the late insurrec-
tion on Frontier Estate, Jamaica, were executed ; the chi• f
was one Watson ; origins the overseer, in his left-r to the
proprietor, speaks in the following terms:—" The Ilea',
cooper, Charles Watson, %yrs the man I plseed most conf.
dence in of anv on the estate ; and had such an attempt
been made without my having time to get the assistance of
white people, he would have been the first I should have
called to stand between your property and destruction ;
deed his conduct since I have been upon the estate fully
justified me in forming, however erroneously, such an opi-
nion of him."

The following is an extract of a letter from Jamaica to
a gentleman in Edinburgh :
" St. Andrews, Jamaica, Dec. 22, 15•23.

"We are preparing to mount guard in all the parishes,
some having already commenced. In St. Mary's, the ne.
gross have been undermining a fort, and taking out the
ammunition. Ten have been condemned, and will he
hanged next week. Their intention was to massacre all
the whites, with the exception of Ladies and altdial
Gentlemen."

A vessel arrived from Rio Janeiro, which place she left
on the 6th of December. The following is an extract
from Cowes, where the vessel is arrived

" The ht;ster of the Lyc►►rgus reports, that a few days
before he sailed from Bahia, the Pernambuco troops had
left Bahia, on their return from Pernambuco, in the Eng-
lish vessels George, Marquis Wellington, and Cambrian,
(after having quelled the disturbances and taken Bahia.)
Great jealousy prevailed between the Pernambuco amt
Bahia troops; a Colonel of the former was stabbed before
the day tke Pernambucans left; and it was much feared
another commotion would have taken place previous to
'their evacuation."
Extract of a letter, dated Rio de Janeiro. Dec. 5, 1823:—
Our apprehensions of serious consequences resulting from
the late violent proceedings of the Emperor have sub-
' sided ; for every thing rema►ns in a perfect state of tran-
quillity, and business is resuming its former activity.

Mr. Mackentie arrived yesterday morning at the Colo-
nial Office in Downing-street, with dispatches from V.to
Dieman's Land.

_
The Right Honourable Thomas Wallace has been re-
elected, free of expense, Member for the Borough of
Weymouth.—(Courier.)—(Who then need despair of a Re-
form in Parliament, when a minister evinces such an in-
stance of the purity of election.]
The following notice was left, says a morning paper,
among other fashionable paragraphs, last night :
Mr. Secretary Canning will have a grand dinner party
to-morrow, at Oloucester Lodge, Old Brompton.
(Te-morrow will be Sunday —this is a prettylesample to
set the radicals of England by one of the first Ministers of
State! What will those shut up in prison for blasphemy
say to this breach of one of the ten commandments by the
Secretary for Foreign Aff tits ?J
The Levee of the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland on Mon-
day last was attended by the Catholic Archbishops of
Dublin and Tuam!
Mr. Elliott, the missionary, arrived at Portsmovh on
Thursday, in the Oscar, from Demerara; but we are re-
quested to state, that his return to England is not compel-
s .ry, hut perfectly voluntary : his stay here is merely
temporary—he has left his family in the colony.—(3/era-
int Paper.)
A private letter from Madrid says that the Reslauradur
has been suppressed. It was the organ of the sentiments
of the High Church party. Its suppression was fur some
time earnestly desired by all the partizans of the lee
order of things. The Ministry has gained ll'
favour with the Clergy by this act ; and there
are pamphlets published which contain the same
sentiments. There was an extraordinary article
in the Restsurador of Saturday last, relative to the Infant
Don Carlos and the King. I scud the article to you. It was
stated yesterday by some persons, that the Infant had demand.
e,I the suppression of the Journal io eonsequeuce of the he
sertion of that article ; but the Gazette of this morning stews
the falsehood of that assertion, for it contains en order of the
Council for preventing the publication of any newspapers Ir.t
the Gazette and the Diary.
" There is a rumour that the Algerines here declared
war against Spain. Certain it is, that their erui•ers have
been seen off Alicant ; hut we learn here, that the Dutch
squadron in the Mediterranean have received orJels to pro-
tect Spanish commerce against the Barharesque4.".
It is reported that the slaves in the British colonies are
to be tranquillised by means of two mitres. The state of
Ireland, no doubt, suggested this ides. That country
possesses mitres in abundance, but little peace.
The pro-
per inference may be, that discontent and disorder should
never be without them. The (loverianeut has sent no
such things to us in Scotland, doubtless because they are
not essential to our tranquillity.—(Edinbargh Star ) .
Advices were yesterday received from Lima to the 4th et
Sept. inclusive, but several letters we had an opportunity ut
perusing, appeared studiously to avoid the mention ofnd date soy rid
lftical news. One letter, however, from Valparaiso, a
the Nth of Sept., in reference to accounts just received from
the Peruvian capital, contains the following passage:—
" The United States ship Franklin. 74, has jest arrived from
the coast of Peru, and we learn by her that the Patriot fore!'

' Royalists. The Patriot Generals Sucre, Pinto, and Alvarado
