Extract Of a private teller, dated Cdyenne,
(french Guiana,) April 90.
You have learnt the terrible rev oIution which
has recently taken Place at Para. You know
that the European population fed on all sides
from the natives, and that they crowded ~,
board the vessels even Of the smallest kind, in
order to quit the fertile but bleeding shores of
me country. But you have not yet learnt
lnat Cayenne has served for retreat to many
families who are saved from death, and that
tue Capital of our colony offers at present the
appearance Of a Portuguese colony. Our con-
duct at Para in this disaster, has laid a deep
foundation for friendship with our neighbors
they owe their safety to our governor, the b.
ron Nlilius, who has given them the most
prompt and eIficacious assistance. He no
sooner learnt the deplOrabe events of which
have Informed you, than lie sent to Para the
royal vessel Artesenne, commanded by NJ.
Lame. should add that the arrival. stay
and departure of this vessel have drawn tears
VI gratitude from those who have taken re-
fuse under the flag of the lily, which is al
ways ready where there is an occasion to do
good, aud which has;ens to the unfortunate to
render It's assistance and Support.
EGYPT.
BosToN, July 28.-We find under the date
OF Malta, in the Gibraltar papers, ad, ices from
Alexandria to April 90, which we believe is the
latest intelligence from Egypt. These &C.
counts repeat that there had been q sort of re
bellion in the Upper Provinces, headed by a |
Sheik who called himself prophet, and pre-
tended TO have come from heaven to reform |
Inc Nahometan religion. 1t WAS announced by |
the government that he had been taken and |
bsheaded, but this was not fully relied upon. |
1t was said that this rebellion would AT anv |
rate retard the expedition OF the pacha If the
Morea. II was reported that some English /
travellers had lost their lives by falling into !
The hands ofthe insurgents, but il was subse- |
queni'y ascertaIned that though they had been
several days ia the hands Of the rebels, they
were safe. and were on their way TO Aiexan,
ora. Among them were MIR. MADDOX and Mr.. !
Hull The plague was raging with unusual vio- |
hence al Cairo. II was said that the deaths
amounted to three hundred aud fifty daily.
AID TO THE GREEKS.
The NewburypOrt Herald of the Goth inst. |
says that letter has been received from an |
American gentleman at Smyrna, under date |
of 25ih April, 10 which he states several rea- |
sons which induce him to believe that il has
been bad policy for the Americans to aid the |
Greeks by pecuniary contributions, the priaci-
pal Of which are, that it will exasperate the |
Turks, and expose to hazard American pro. |
perry in their power; aud besides, the small,
amount we shall in fact send them, not by any
means nesting their high wrought exPecta-
tioDs, will tend greatly IN diminish our nation
al character 10 their estimation.
