fhs Home G0Uerameat-Basis Of The
Not7 Constitution.
KISosToS, JAMAICA, Wednesday, DECD
You will see that the intelligence which
the Montezuma takes from this island Is
ly no means of an exciting nature,
though interesting in character. The
Assembly have met, and have voted a
grant Of dfty thousand pounds sterling
toward N~qUi6ating the expenses contin-
cent on the recent rebellion, which are
estimated 1t ons thousand five hundred
rounds per diem. How this large sum
Ial be met by the impoverished peas
fDtry and the bankrupt planters is vet
10 De seen. p. A. Aspent has been sworn
N as Cuztos Of 81. Thomas IN the East.
n The stead Of the late Baron Won Ketel-
bodt. who was murdered by the rebels,
anG az his inaugural a feast was made in
he own where the slain lay, and where
70 many brutal outages had been CON-
mitted. The Assembly refused to pass g
bill introduced by Government, for the
supervision and control OF all religious
services but "a alien Law has passed, TO
Prevent aliens interfering in political dis
CUSHIONS, and subjecting them to
Punishment at the dictum OF the
Governor snd Executive Committee.
II is likely that the constitution viii
undergo a change, and that instead OF q
House OF Representatives, the colony
VII DC governed by the planters eXclu-
lively. Theisland is at present peaceful,
and the volunteers have been relieved
from duty. Mr.. Ninen, dentist, a per-
sonal friend Of G.. W. Gordon, who was
arresrei during that rebellion, has left

grievances before the Colonial Secretary.
Several of the political prisoners who
were not disposed Of during the martial
law. were TO be tried under civil process,
and others, not seriously implicated, were
released on bail to keep the peace.
On the information of some people
rom Msrklands, two rebels who took
active part in the late rebellion, were APP
pretended Ia Kingston. These are Aus
tn Stewart and James Gordon, who had
taken up arms and in every way aided
the rebel chiefs Paul Boyle and McLaren.
They were examined by the Police Mag.
fstraUe, who was quite convinced that
there was most indisputablep roOfof their
bsing connected in the rebellion, and
1hev were accordingly committed for
Trial.
The Msroons have refused 10 accept
the sum Of four hundred pounds offered
10 them by the Governor for the capture
Of the bloCdthirsuy misc1eant Paul Boyle.
The Maroon Captain, quite q youth, has
been banQueted in this city. 1t was he
who tripDed UP Boyle and held him fast
til the others came up and secured the
Tebel chief. Oneof these MarOOns from
Accompany, brought with him to Kings
ton, on exhibition, a war horn which he
had in use during the insurrectisn o!
eighteen hundred and slZty-two, bearing
on & blood stains which il had received
during that conflict. They were enter
1ained at the Kings house and by the
Acknowledgement, and on leaving Span
Ssh Town they were escorted by the Vol
unteer Rifles OF s.. Catherine, under the
command Of Maj. Hamilton. The At
tornev-G General IN a letter 10 the Guar
didr, has paid a high tribute to his late
friend Baron hetelbOdt, whom he has
STYLED a gentleman and 4 scholar.
Accounts received from the northwest
marshes state that not the slightest ap-
bss-anGe OF disturbance or disafIectiOn

fecrIy quiet, and that sugar-making Is
engaging rheirattenriOn. It hasa fforded
great satisfaction that martial law has

dealt with, its cessation Is eqally eXpedi-
