LATE FROM JAMAICA.

Rv the schooner Davenport, Capt. norton,
at Savannah, from Kingston, Tile OF Jamaica
naners to the 23d ult. inclusive, have peen re-
ceiyed. The Kingston Chronicle OF the s5d q
December mentions that in some parts OF the
Island q refractory spirit had manifested Itself
on some plantations. Judging from the tone OF
the papers, there must be considerable rancour
on both sides. We make such extracts as we
deem of sufficient interest.
( KINGSTON Dec. %, 1S33.-His NJ 5. Racer
arrived yesterday from Carthagena IN three
davs having on board the French Consul M.
Rarrot, and 100000 dollars. The return of the
Consul does not argur well for an amicable adj
iustment ofthe late difference, yet we are in
formed that the French squadron has sailed
back to Carthagena, symptom that no actual
hostilities have commenced The Hope sailed
in company with the Racer having passenger
Senior GautlereZ.
DECEMBER 21.-By the United States schooner
Exnerment. we are informed that low built
niratical brig, painted black, has been cruising
off the island of st. Thomas, and has plundered
several American vessels. She has the appear
ance of deeply loaded vessel, with raking
masts and displays Colombian colours.
DECEMBER 27.-Durng the present week de-
tachments of Regulars will be stationed at Sc
yeral posts throughout the Island. 1t is to be
hoped that by thus distributing his MaJesty's
Troops good order and tranquility will be pre-
served; but if ever there necessity of en-
bodying the Militia Regiments at this period OF
the wear, recent events must lmperlously call
for it at the present moment.
HAYrI AND FRANcE.-The Economist has re-
ceived from friend files of Haytian papers. =
By Gle Telegraph de Port-au-Prnce, lie II
November, and 30" it would appear that a
misunderstanding has arisen between the au-
thorities of Hayti and the French Dipomatists
there, somewhat analogous to the recent differ
ences between the Republic ofNueva Grenada,
and the French Consul.
From the Haytian version Of the affair, ii
seems that several gentlemen Of Port au Prince
were entertained at the house OF the French
Consul; that drunken soldier named Duga IN
truded, and on an attemptto make him leave the
house, he struck one of the guests very severe
ly with stick.
The French Consul, and Capt. M de BruiX
of the FIR brig LIE Cuirassier," complained to
the President, and he referred them to the law
of assaults Nj. de BruiX, who was bearer of des-
patches from France contended that the insult
was premedtated, and demanded public re-
dress. The drunken soldier was tried and SEN
fenced to six days Imprisonment, and to pay
costs. LIE Cuirassier sailed on the 18th Nov
last, for France, leaving the object of her mis-
sion incomplete, in consequence OF this mlsun-
standing.
Extract of a letter from Carthagena, dated
Dec. II, 1S33.-"Admiral Mackau arrived here
invested with full powers from the French Go
vernment to claim or exact satisfaction from
that ofNew Granada, for the insults offered to
the French Consul. He has sent his ultimation
to Bogota, an answer is to be given in 30 days
We hope the Government ofNew Granada, will
by acknowledging how culpabe We're several
of it's agents, prevent such evils as are now in
evitable, if it continue to allow certain men OF
low character to have any influence. This bu-
siness cannot now be one of negotiation; the
conditions imposed by M. de Mckau in the name
of his Government, must be complied with in al
its points or 90 to war. If we consider the con
duct Of the Executive in New Granada in its
true light, we might expect more vigor on the
part of the French Government, let the demands
of NJ de Mackau be as severe as they may be
By the last mails from Bogota, we are inform
ed that new revolutions have taken place in the
Ecuador. Guayaquil had declared itself in
dependent, by separating from the Govern
ment and wishing to put itself under the pro-
lection of Peru. While the President Flores
was marching with Troops to that place, new
revolution broke out in Quito, the capitalize
neral SEAM, Colonel Hall, and several others
were killed in the attempt to take possession OF
the barracks
In Bogota, great discomfort existed, and ii
was feared that new disturbances would take
place.
