THE EARTHQUAKE IN GUApALoUPE.-IheN New
Haven Herald contains translation from West
India papers of an account of the recent earlh-
make which buried the inhabitants of St. Petre IN
its ruins The principal facts have all been spread
before our readers. Immediately on the receipt
of the intelligence of the destruction OF their sister
CITY the people of ST. Pierre Port Royal, and other
placcs-without waiting to learn the particulars,
IL. sh,,tA q,
medicines, and whatever else could In any way
alleviate the suferings of the survivors. Men,
themselves without bread, gave their last shilling
asking for two cents of it only to purchase a
loaf-and women broug hit almost their last article
Of dress to make lint for the wounded. Several
boats were Instantly freghted and despatched to
| the scene of horror. Amid this general and most
honorable generosity schooner arrived from 81
Petre declining TO give details of the disaster as she
had come to speculate upon il. We regret tha
we do not find her name and that of her avaricious
hard.hearted officer. The clock on the church
at ST. Pesre stood still the hands pointing to 80
minutes past lO-the moment Of the catastrophe
and almost the only walls left unhurt in the city
were two-one having upon it a painting ct the
Ruins of Babylon, and the other portrait OF tne
King.
From HArrI.-The Boston Atlas publishes
letter from mercantile gentleman at 1efeiii'e'
Havti, which represents the designs OF the lnsur
oen,, in the island as worthy of the success they
bid fair to receive. The unjust policy OF fresiden
Bower provoked secret conspiracy, which wa
organized as early IS October of styear On TN
3lst Of January, three or four days before the out
break was to take place, in consequence OF al ap
pretended arrest CT of the chief conspirators
tho Commandant of the Province was waited uPo
by the National Guard, under the direction OF

| Arsenal was then seized, and the Commander
] tho Post forced To surrender. The COMMITTEE
have branches all through the country; and al
Bowers administration is thoroughly and univer
say detes,cd, the prospect is that he will soon bt
driven from power. The utmost order and sobrlet!
prevail throughout both people and soldiers ane
the most devoted respect for the rights OF all Is a
parent The principal demands or objects OF tht
Patriots are stated to be these: l. A revision o.
the Constitution; for the one in force since loic
| nrovided that il should be revised in nine years
which Bower, to suit his own ends, has resisted
3. Tha, the President shall henceforth be elected
for FIVE or seven wears, and not for life. ). That
the enornou, standing army shall be dismissed
the country not being able to support the expense
