Iency, found, on his arrival, that |,
had been propoied to MAJOR Ha;n'ito'''
after which ieveri! interviews between
parties dcPuted from the n'1tineefs, ' fSs
our commanders took place; tn iei ",
of which was, that they ihould iurreho~-
and lay down their arms, which being
agreed TO, and that 500 men thould
march to take pofeGion, the Governor
at the head Of detachment from the
Royals, commanded by captain Puxlsy,
from the Saints, about 900 OF the eSth
comma.pded by Majors Scott and Had
milton, aid the marines commando
by, together with iome officers and
privares of the arul,ery, entered the gar
rifon, where they fol,.ad the nlutlneers
drawn up in the uiual p,csce OF parade,
with the colours In their front hey
received our troops with preientet'arFnS'
and obliged two of their officers ! wh1n1
they had fpared from rhe maliaere OF
Friday night, to take polt in their front
The governor drew up his troops in two
lines oppoiite to them, rode 70 the line of
the mutineers, and directed them to
fhoulder and ground their arms, ON
which he rode to the rear OF the front
line. They were then ordered 70 adj
vance three PAGES in front, at which
moment a ferjeant (Church) called out
No General---no ! The governor
rhen replied, if they did OF infantly
obey, he would order the troops TO fire
upon them. On which the whole feized
their arms; a general fire commenced,
by which many of the nutlneers fell, and
che remainder difperled thcmielves in
different directions.
Previous TO their difperiion, Capt.
Serrant and Lieutenant Beaupols, with
the St. Luke's independent company
had received orders TO occupy Fort
Cairley, in which were fornc few of the
Mutineers, but, being fred upon, and
having no inftrument with which to force
the barrier gate, they were obliged 20
retreat.
Aiter the icene on the parade, many
Of the furyivlng fugitives were feen
icrambling up the outer cabrit; others
hed up the inner one, and thofe who
could attain it, running along the line
on the ridge, discharged as they pafed,
the cannon which had been previouny
loaded and pointed on their purifiers;
and then threw themfclves headlong
over the Precipice. Such, however, was
the fpirit of intrepid activity marketed
by every white Individual in the garri-
fon, IN forming the remaining potts Of
the mutineers, thai in the couric Of half
an hour, the whole were completely
reduced; and thefc daring bandirli may
now be faid Except about 80 who are
prifoners on board the fhips OF wary 60
be alrnoit wholly exrerninated.
1t is with great fatisfa6tion we find
our own lois has been very triHing, ac-
cording to the beif accounts, amounting
TO 20 killed and wounded.
Lieut.. M'Kay and Lieut.. Wefnays
appeared 10 have been the peculiar ob-
lccts or their rage. Lieut.. Wafaay's
faee was truly lamencable. The{c Bar
barians having itripped him, fai}ened
him 70 tree, prici<ed him with their
6ayoners, and mutilated him in a mott
knocking manner, even retardine that
death which would have been a boon as
terminating his futFerings---and the dead
body Of Lieur. M Kay, the drh victim,
to their wrath, they equally inGuited, bv
dragging it about the Poft, in a manner
too horrid to relate
