Gentlemen: Believing you will he anxious to hear the
news n this place husen to inform YOU Of an appa
ing rumor here yesterday that the blacks Of
Jamaica had massacred all the white inhabitants OF that
island To-day, however, an express mai overland
from ST. Jago de Cuba has given less startling facts
The blacks made attack on the white inhabitants
who with the garrison, driven out, and sought
refuge in 4 small fort How many were killed was not
stated The Governor of st. Jago having received this
information has called Governor Valdes Captain
General Of Cuba, for sufficient land and naval force
10 prevent the Jamaica negroes from landing on this
island and he has Immediately despatched $50 cavalry
and tomorrow the fleet, consisting Of rlgate, two
sloops Of war and two steamers, sail with ,DO0
trcops from this place for ST. Jago.
Should the free English negroes succeed in get
ting on tins island il is impossible 10 say what Will be

put 10 death all the whites out of the cities. have
heen much i'll the INTERIOR and visited many estates and
wonder at the insecurity of the whites They,s 10
apprehend danger when by signal thousand blacks

all armed with the long knives, used 10 cut sugar cane
Why they should be excited 10 insurrecton, cannot
conceive. \ more happy and contented community

hands work hour and lay by two hours. They have
abundance to eat and most comfortable quarters. The
negroes all look happy aud conenied; At night, until
9 0 clock they make the welkin ring with their songs
and laughter indeed, have often wished some OF my
fellow citizens had a. many comforts
Should any thing farther arrive from jamaica before
