Chaplain d. Il ADAMS. Massat husetts, board the I
Peacock. ON The 2is. while homewsrd bound Mr. Adams
was man Of consumniae genius as mathematician and
Is a great loss 10 the Navy.
About 40 seamen and other persons are
stated to have died during the prevalence of
the fever, and about 60 sick of the disease at |
Attention and the Hospital, including those
sent ashore from the shipping officers
who remained sick at the island were, Sur
geons Williamson, Babbiti, Pan Brunt, Bas-
sell, and Midshipman Radcliffe.
The Peacock sailed from 'Thompson's ISL
and on the 18th September, and experienced
very rough weather the greater part Of the
passage. Lieut.. Com'dt JosEPH CAss,N,
was assigned to the command of the John
Adams, on the death of Capt. Watson. and
sailed in company with the Peacock for this
port, hut parted with her on the 2Ist.
The Seagull, 1t. Cont Voorhets, and the
schr. Allen, Lit. CONT Legare, were the only
vessels left at the Island, and they were to fol-
low shortly after. COMMODORE POR-
| TER was much better, and intended coming
home IN the Seagull; it was believed on board
the Peacock, that these two vessels left the
Island the same day that the Peacock and
John Adams sailed, they deserted a smoke
which they supposed might DO from the Sea
gull.
| The Wild Cat had sailed day or two be-
fore for Havana, for Hospital stores, and would
| return in company with the Fox.
The Greyhound and JGckdH were at Havana
| Nothing had been heard from the Hornet
since her departure for the Gulf of Mexico
| We are happy to learn that the Peacock
has returned healthy-her officers all well, and
only two err three cases Of intermittents among
the men. She lost an her passage, besides
Mr.. Adams, two seamen, one Of whom had
been but on board sirk from the Island-their
names are John Clark and JAS Rose.

FROM DEMERARA.
Capt. Haticn, from Drnarnra, has furnish
ed the Commercial Reading Room with the
Royal Gazette, of that colony, of.the date o
Aug sS, containing sundry prociamatons re-
lative To the insurrection among the slave
population. Martial law had been proclaim
ed Throughout the colony ; the regular troops
and militia bad marched through the disturb
ed settlements and entirely dispersed the in
| surgents, who made battle with them al Sc
| Veral places, but soon gave way and fled lea,-
ing many killed behind them Captain Hat
ton informs that great alarm still prevailed
at Georgetown, when he left, but active
measures were pursuing TO restore tIanquiIIi-
~ Three were executed the day before
he left there, and six were ordered far exc
cuton the day following. Five hundred IF
the insurgents are supposed TO have been
killed by the troops. A fanatic PREACHER
Ia white mani was al the head of th, ron.
spracy and worked the gneraat blacks in g
a state OF INSTRUMENTATION by assurances tina;
the british parliament had passed Il law for
Their emancipation. This is one of the IN
happy fruits of the instructed zeal of The
! British phianthropists-as they are called. l.
Il Capt. Eauon states that this wolf in sheep's
clothing was conGnrd in dungeon, ard no
doubt existed, that he would nert with his
deserts. We have heard of no acts of ven
geance being perpetrated by the insurgents !;
they had III most cases confined their over
seers and other white inhabitants that came
| within their power, IN THE STOCKS, from
I which d great number were libtl ated by the
military. For days before Capt II sailed
an embargo was laid on all vessels 10 the port
of Georgetown and the crews ordered ON
shore to assist in defending the town. [H
