RONIE, DEC. 5•.—A considerable body ofFrench I)ragoons passed through this City to-day, on their , march from Napless .to France. We receive from every quarter the most distressing accounts of the damages done by the late hurricanes. The walls of - Pecchis have been in part blown down.— At Terracino, several vessels have been wrecked, and the Coast's of the kingdom of Nage.; present scen2s still more deplorable. • - •  riclihcth  Sr..l !JO:4 I NCO is in 'a- state-or compete revfht.

" Amidst a scene of murder and'rObbiry; you will not expert I. can be .very particular in. my. remarks. Without any pteface I will inform you, that yesterday morning the present Commander (a black .man), received -Official advice, that an Army of revolted Negroes had encamped a few leagues without the gates,. their intention being to march to the City, and fire it in several places, and massacre the Whites, and those Blacks in'powerr Immediately the houses and stores were closed,•,and the drums beat to arms ; the women and children running to .and fro in wild confusion, presented 'a sight nor' to be described': 3000 Troops were under arms in .a few minutes, and the General in person headed a party .of. horse. • The Dragoons finally ''a-arched, or rather flew, to meet the Enemy, and our anxiety to be sure was great to hear from them. We waited until tea at night,' when they returned almost dead with fatigue,. it raining' in torrents the whole day, and the weather uncommonly hot. They came up with a part of the Enemy five leagues from hence, and charging upon'them, took a few prisoners, and brought them in ; -they saw 600 encamped. Those taken will soon be executed.; but this is but the beginning of trouble, for to-day again the drums are beating, and no business doing. God only knows how it will terminate. I wish it was possible. to get off. I can. obtain 'but little information from any Frenaman ; a general panic ~has seized them all, and no one speaks loud enough..to be. heard. The country presents a scene of unheard_ of Murder. Tile insurgents yesterday -Massacred a number.of Whites, among whom were:several women and old men. An express has just gone to General .IVloy ss, who is at Fort Liberty, to march with his Troops to form a junetion with General Ca RISTOPHER• fnmething 4ecisivd will soon take place." • " Ten o'Clock.  " The Artillery and Part of the Infantry have marched. Accounts from the Enemy are so va.: tious that we cannot ascertain the number nor discipline of his army. A number of the. inhabitants lodged on board of the American vessels last night ; they-were obliged to go off privately and in a tremendous rain. ' Sleep is a stranger to my eyes; we were shut uplri a small room last night, every moment expeting something dreadful. To-night will will be the same. Every night since I have been here, murder has been committed, and, shocking to relate, I have seen human entrails carried about upon the bayonets of the inhuman Negro soldiers."  " Monday Morning.  " As yet we are safe, thank God. Last evening a body of Troops marched out with provisions sufficient for several days, and their bread upon their bayonets. The sight was novel, and not unpleasing. An embargo has been laid upon all vessels in port." . .  " Tuesday Morning.  " At two o'clock this morning the Chief of the Insurgents was brought in a prisoner and lodged in gaol. He is fettered in a cruel manner, and his cries are heard a long distance. Ingenuity is at work, contriving torments for this poor wretch. It ,is said, four horses will be employed to draw him in quarters. His name is FLARILL, and his obje& was to overthrow the Government of
