On Saturday night, the 13th, two trash-houses were set on tire on the Alexandria estate by the rebels, and entirely consumed. This was to have been the signal for the other estates to follow the exam- ple; but the appearance of the military kept them in awc. The next day, during the absence of the white people, wvho were on duty at Argyle, five of the principal negroes on Golden-grove eatate broke into the overseer's house and carried away a fowling piece and pis- tols; they also plundered the estate stores. About thirtymen and four women then absconded from the estate, and joined the Argyle tegroes in the woods. The same night eome negroes returned to Argyle- pen, and killed five horses and three mules belonging to AUr. Malcorlm. JtUNE 18. We have just received information of five of the Argyle negroes hasing been taken up by the regulars and a company of the Western Interior Regiment, and also that four Golden-grove people had re- tu.ned homne. JUXIE 19. 1 have been stationed at Argyle-pen with Captain Gregson's Com- pany since Tuesday last, and have been two days in the woods. Yesterday we securedl two Argyle negroes. A comeany of the 33d Regiment likewise entered the woodIs, and yesterdaj secured three negroes, and three this morning. Captain (ail's company secured one or two yesterday. A company of the Ifanover Mlilitia secured three yesterday after- noon, one of them supnosed to be a second ringleader. He ripped up his belly with aknife, but it wavs immediately sewedl up. It is sunnosed lhe may live a few days. You have heard of the negroes killing eight or ten valuable lsatses andl mules, belonging to IlIr. Mlalcolm. I atn glad to learn that the greater part of the (;ohlden-grove negroes have returned to bhe estate. Wle regret to state, that the intelligence we received yesterd3ay evening from the interior of Hanover is not of such a satisfactory nature as from the Foregoing we mav have induced our readlers to ex- pect. Ten neroes who had been taken up in the woods were com- mitted to Itlontego Baygaol on Monday. Between 50 and 60 of the most desperate still remain out. (FXTRACT OF A LETTER.)

I Atters. and i papera Kwr' received ye teay froi Jr maica to the lgth,Of July, the only imporitant part of the conteg a of wiichre late a to the affairs of Peru, an d this, we are happy to say, is of a nab ture favournble to the independence of that country. A circular letter had been trasismitted fom the Prefect of the department of Truxllo, in which place are the head-quarters of the Liberator, dated the 13th cf`Aiy, addressed to all the Intendants of the differ. ent provinces of Colomhbia, announcing the defection of a divisionl of the Spanish army from the Royalist cause, followed by a dedIa. ration in favour of the Independence of Peru. This eveat having occurred in Upper Peru, several hundred miles from the head. quarters of the Colombian President, no co.operation could of course take place immediately between him and his new friends, but would nevertheless be most favourable to him by distracting the attention of the force opposed to him. The circular is in the followting termsr:_ Pref'ecture of the Department of Truaillo, Mlay 13, 1824. "Sir,-I have jnst received by an extraordinary courier from hir Excellency the IDictator, the intelligence that Genera] Olaneta, who was at the head of a considerable division in Upper Peru, after aiav. ing given battle to and taken prisoner General Carratala who follow. ed hinm with an eqtual lorce, has united himself to the troops of the country, and at length has acknowledged the justice with which America has asserted her liberty and independence. You will take care to make this duly known to the people of the department under your governnent, and cause it to be celebrated in ain appropriate mani; r God prcesrve you many years. (Signed) "JOSE GABRIEL PEREZ. "To the Intendant ot the Province of Paita." This intelligpnec was published at Panama on the 3d of Jdne in an xtraordinary Gazette. No mention ia made in the private ac. countr. of the number of troops actually under Olaneta, but his corps must lhave been a strong one, As that of Carrata7la, which he de. feated, is stated at 3,000 men. Bolivar was to open the campaign against the Spaniards early in June. Thc force with him is esti, mated in these aecounts at 18,000 infantry and 2,0l0 cayalry, all in the best state of organization possible, and desirous of being led against the enemy. No advice, have been received of the aban. donmnent of Lima by the Spaniards, but the place appease to be held very feebly by them. The Panama ( zze.res state, that on the 5th of May smnall parties of Bolivar's guerillas presented themsevers be- fore lnima, and entqecd one quarter ot' thc city. They sprcad them- selves over it, and surrounded the Convent of Mlarcy. Having at length entered the square of the Cathedral, they cxperienced 9 slight rcsistarce, in which a Spanish officer and two soldiers were killed; bit the guerillas eflbcted their retreat without the loss of a I man.

A considerable swnsation, it will be remembered, was pro- duced some time since, by the publication of a prctendecl letter from Guavaquil, date( the 27th of Mlay, which first appeared in an evening paper, andl was afti.rwards copied into several of the morning papers. Its authenticity was inmmnedliately questioned, and by some persona it was un- hesitatingly denounced as an impudeiat fabrication. The paper in which it first appeared asserted, in its own vindica- tion, that the original letter had b.eu produced at'its office; but adled, that if it should (liscover tlhat it ha(d been iun- posedl upon, the fabricator shoul(d be dluly exposed. The dates froml the city of Liina conie now to th1e 16thj of Juue, and fi-om Guayaquil to the 1Rbh of July, andl show that not one of the events so minutely set forth in the said Guaya- quil letter occurredi, or any thing like them. Thc journal in question owves an explanation both to itself'and to the public.

W c reccived last night the Fren-'k papers of FridaY. They are entirely filled with the proceedings of the Chamber of Deputics on Thursday, respecting the project of law for the reduction of the rentes. On Wednesday, the general discussion, or the debate on the principle of the measure, had dosed. On Thursday, the Reporter of the Commission, appointed in the first instance to examine the prc- posed law, made his report, and adhered in all essential articles to the Mlinisterial project. Then came the time for discussing the se- parate articles of the proposidon, and proposing such anmendments as each Meember should think advisable. These amendments were various, and werc supported with considesable plausibility. One Deputy proposed, that instead of creating a three per cent. stock, and reducing the charge ot the public debt by giving it to the- fundholder at 75, the Government should be authorized to create a 4,A per centL stock, and to convert the existing debt into it at part, with a security against repayment for a certain time. This.amer'l._ ment was rejected. Another modificaticn of the liNnisterial r.r0 ject is important, as it was substantially received by )1.. DE VILLELE, and is likely to be adopted as a part of the '.aw. It consists in enabling the Government to allow the fur dholder to convert his 5per cent. stock into a new 4 per cent' stocklat par, with a security against repayment for six years, or tsll January, 1830, This amendment was psoposetl by M- LEROY. As adopted and modified by 4M. DE V1LLELE, it does not necessarily alter his original project, as its eftect Will merely be to give another option to the ftindholder irn atldition to the alter- native of accepting a three per cent. stQok at 75, or the reimburse- ment of his capital. Under the law as thus changed, the holder of ,he present five per cent. stock will have it in his power to accept of a four-per ccnt., irredeemable till 1830. with the additional advan- tage of retaining his present rate of interest till January, 1826; or to accept a three per cent, stock at 70, on condition of having his in- terestreduced next September, or finally to be paid off at par. As this amendmerut seemed to the Chamber to be import. nt, its adop- tion was deferred till it should be examined bv a commission, and the wording of it adapted to the other parts of the law. On this the Chamnher adjourned. Therc is no other intelligence in these papers, either political or otherwise.
