"lh he negroes in the country give
a great deal of trouble. They rose
a day or two ago upon the estates of
the Aldamas and the Al phonsos -
1t appears there was an extensive
conspiracy, in which the best slaves
were engaged. Nearly five hun
dred negroes, in arms, were killed,
and large number of prisoners
were taken. The Americans resid-
ing in Malanzas have asked for an
American man-of-war to be in that
port, in case they are compelled to
flee the island.
"It is said that about four thou
sand negroes in the vicinity of Ma
tanzas, has planned an instruction +;
they were organized, and officers ap-
pointed, and designed to march in
that city, where they were to be
joined by about two thousand more.
On Friday, of last week, their plans
were detected and in the evening
about twenty of the ring-leaders
were arrested, tried, and will be
probably executed. The U. S. ship
Falmouth, Commander Sands, sail
cd for Matanzas yesterday morning,
he having received a letter from the
American Consul there, stating that
the American population were in a
good deal of alarm in consequence
of the large number of blacks said
to have been concerned in the de-
signed instruction, and of their in
tenton of marching on that place."
