FROM DEMERARA.

Tie ROYAL Gazette of The 23d August, recrivsd
at Norfolk by the brig Undaunted, Capt. Hu,,o,
from Demerara, contains sundry proclamation,
relative to the insurrection among the slave po,.
ulation of that colony. Martial law had been mn.
claimed throughout the colony the reeuL,
troops and militia had marched through the c,,.
uurbed settlements and entirely dispersed The N.
surrents, who made battle with them at seyrtl
places but soon gave way and fled, leaving many
killed behind them. Captain Hatton informs thu
great alarm still prevailed at Georgetown, when
he left, but active measures were pursuing to re-
store tranquility. Three were executed the div
before he left there, and six were ordered fr
execution the day following. Five hundred Of
the insurgents are supposed To have been killed
by the troops. A fanatic Preacher Ca Wine
man) was al the head of tie conspiracy and work.
ed the ignorant blacks into state of insuburtlna
lion by assurances that the British parliamen, bad
passed law tor their emancipation. Captain
liatton states that this wolf in sleeps clothing
was confined in dungeon, and no doubt existed
ilat he would meet with his deserts. We ave
,eard of no acts OF vengeance being perperael
by the insurgents; they had in most cases con-
fined their overseers and other white inhabitants
that came within their power, in the Stocks from
which great number were liberated by the mil.
itary. For eight days before Capt. II sailed, an
embargo was laid OH all vessels in the port of
Georgetown, and the crews ordered on shore 10
assist in defending the town.
A letter received in New.York, by way of St.
Thomas, states, that on the 23d of August, an ac.
ton took place in the east part of Demcrara, be.
tween body Of 2000 well armed negroes, and
the troops of the province, when the blacks were
defeated and dispersed with the loss OF about $50
in killed.

Since the memorable battle
of the Sth January, 1915, that city has
evinced spirit of laudable zeal, in form.
ing and keeping up regular and well dis.
cipined volunteer companies. They have
generally, in consequence of the differ
Ience of language, h2bits and manners. kept
up the distinction between French Creole
French) and Americans, (emigrants from
the other states.) This has been frequent
ly productive of unhappy schisms. The
Legislature, some four br five years since,
formed legion, consisting of all thr vol
unteer companies and in consequence of
"a regulation, adopted in fines of danger,
authorizing the enlistment of aliens, many
IFrenchmen, not naturai2cd, have crept
into their ranks, and have latterly become
so formidable as to cause much irritation
and excitement. One OF these, Mr.. Gu
1villier, was about year since appointed a
major in the legion. The American com
panieS protested against the appointment.
The Louisiana Guards, under the COM
mandment of Captain Edward Fenno. po-
sitively refused to obey the orders of the
alien Major. Capt. Fenno has been irreg-
ularly arrested and tried by an alien court
marital, and deprived of his command. as
we'll as dsfranchsed and declared dis
lquallied from holding any military office
lin the state. The guards protested and
determined to support their captain, and
were upheld by the whole American pop
ulation. Subsequently, the Brigadier Ge.
neral has disapproved of the proceedings
|, of the court martial, Major Cuvillier has
resigned his office, and the angry passions
of the parties have subsidized into that sor,
of calm which belligerents feel during ar
armistice. It is sincerely to be wished
that this may eventuate in the amalgama
tion of all parties in our sister state, and
that Creoles and naturaizcd Frenchmer
may unite with Americans, and become
; worthy of the protection Of the country
into whose bosom they have been received

also we'll observes, that there will be no
objections in point Of morality, to the
newspapers being admitted as weekly

pirate and useful parts of the weekly
sheet.
Another reason would suggest itself to
every rejecting mind, in favor OF provid-
ling schools with newspapers, which is. that
what we read in our infancy, is seldom
forgotten in our passage through lille, and
this kind of reading would make most OF
our youth take an early interest in the
concerns of our republic, which they would
always feel the influence of. Had all OF
us, of the present generation, in early lille,
read newspapers, we should not now see
so many listless or ignorant, and ut the
same time, chattering and noisy politi-
Clans as we have continually talking, and
|about subjects of the times, of which they
know as little as the people did who lived
before the food hope all teachers Of
youth will consider this subject well, and
parents see, that the schools which they
send their children to, are provided with
good newspapers.
