ed the serious revolutionary disturbances
had commenced in the Republic of N eW
Greneda The news was not credited
at the time, 10y some Of our commercial
men, but now we have a full cou6rrna-
ton of the intelligence, with some par
ticulars of the battles fought, and the an
nouncement of the fact that the insur-
gents have been dispersed-,nost of them
escaping into Ecuador. The conserva-

sustained them admirably. Another i'm
portant fact IS the abolition of slavery
