On the 18th of April Col. Kinney, with six other
persons arrived here and made an attempt to over
throw the local government. The Colonel was
sometime ago the owner of house here, which was
subsequently mortgaged to Wood Son. On the
ColonePs departure about eight months since he ap

ty put up to auction Wood & Son bought it in for
some 81, $50 and not being able to let it, the house
was closed up

no opposition.
The next step was to arrest the Mayor of the

On being brought to the guard house, where a

Kinney the reason why he thus treated, to
which the Colonel replied that he wished to inform
him officially of what had taken place that the flag
had been changed, the old government deposed, and

The Mayor then asked the people if they wished
him to resign, to which there was general cry of
''no, no;'' the Mayor then asked Kinney BY what
authority he dared to act as he had done and de-
cared his intention not to resign. Loud cheers
from the citizens.) Kinney replied that he had
acedby authority of Captain Kennedy of the United
States frigate jamestown.

order from the Mayor for Kinnev's arrest. and
just as the marshal and a large body of citizens
were about toput it in force, five ofthe Jamestowns
cutters filled with armed marines, were observed
pulling towards the shore
The citizens then proceed ed to the British Con-
suls to await the course of events, and were en-
gagged in making protest. when Capt. Kennedy
joined them. On hearing ofKinney's acts and how
his name had been made use of, the Captain de-
clared that it done without his permission or
approval. He then read the protest, (having at
first refused to do SOY and finding Kinney in the
wrong, he said he only wanted to prevent blood
shed.
After this, he (the Captain) visited the United
States Commercial agent, and then had long in
terview with Kinney. About s O'Clock he sent
letter to the Mayor, stating that he would not in
terere to prevent knneys arrest, and that he only
wished to prevent bloodshed.
