A Kingston, Jamaca, letter Of the 18th
ult., states that the principal CAUSE of the
outbreak among the negroes Is owing to
the response of the home Government IN
answer to the petition for relief from i
nancial grievances, virtually calling them
to 90 to work. It is said that several ne
groes from the q. s., have dissemina-
ted pernicious ideas among the ignorant
blacks, aud the influx of a large number
of brutal negroes from st. Domingo has
had an evil effect. Several white men
and women in Elizabeth parish have been
horribly murdered, and the utmost ter.
ror reigns. In the Black river vicinity
there will be an indiscriminate massacre.
The rising is universal.
