Gently, the ring-leader, free black fell

Of them leading characters or principals.
1t is said that they have, or some ftham
have, acknowledged their object to have
been the murder Of the white males, the
taking of the ladies for their wives, and
the plumber of the city and instead of
appearing to feel any contrition, they
expressed their regret that they could
nr: have executed their designs. They
sill not give the names OF any Of their
accomplices. These are the generally
credited reports, which are said to come
from headquarters, and | have not
doubt are pretty nearly true 1t is also
generally believed that they intended to
set fire to the city in different places
They were to have commenced carry
ing their Internal plot into execution last
Sunday evening two weeks ago, but the
City Council ha5ing been timely appriz-
ed OF it, had, nearly all the militia Of the
city out under arms that very night, and

that they were deferred from making
the attempt.-Every day seems to dis
cover more and more Of the extent of
the plot, or rather of the number of those
who were TO have been actors in the
tragedy.
Two or three nights since, a white
man, said to have been an old pirate, was
apprehended by the Intendant of the
city. Information that such man was
melting some blacks to an insurrection,
had been given him by black fellow,
who proposed conducting him into an a
partment in the house, where this man.
was in the habit Of meeting those blacks
as their counsellor. 1t was in this man-
ner that he was taken, after having
been overheard in helIish counsel, by
the lntendant and another gentleman
1t seems doubtful whether the law will
allow this monster to be punished as he
deserves. Yesterday gentleman had
bis coacl. man unprecedented, as one ofthe
conspirators, and it is said that this mou-
ster has since acknowledged it to his
master.

Mr.. WHKINs's elementary work on Astron-
omy appears to US to be made upon an excel
lent plan, in which be adopts the most recent
and approved distribution of the subject, The
several parts are arranged in simple and clear
method, and the leading facts and principles of
the science judiciously selected and concisely
stated. 1t contains much matter within mar
row compass, embracing such recent discove-
res and results, as properly come within the
authors plan. 1t is well adapted to the pnr-
poses of instruction, and will, we have no
doubt, be found to be very convenient and
useful by those teachers, who may put it into
the hands of pupils Of an age and previous at
tainlnents to qualify them for this study.
