Orders were given accordingly, and Mons. de

h To such OF the distant parishes as were open
to communication, either by land or BY sea,
notice OF the revolt had been transmitted with.
IN few hours after advice OF it was received
ut the Cape, and the white inhabitants OF
many of those parishes had therefore found
time to establish camps, and form chain of
posts, which, for q short time, seemed to pre-.
vent the rebellion from spreading beyond the
northern proyince. Two Of these camps were,
however, attacked BY the negroes-who were

whites maintained the contest for seven hours,
but were overpowered BY the Infinite disparity
OF numbers, and compelled to give way, with
body. The survivors took refuge in the
