REVOLT IN JAMAICA  (PURTMER PARTICULAR).) " MONTEGO SAY, JAX. L " Up to last night Westmoreland in general remained quiet, yet sorne properties were burnt (Mr. Hutchinson's, Scott's, Hopeton's, Dr. Gordon's of this town, Pen's). Darlston's and all other settlements in that quarter were destroyed, and I have not the least doubt that parish will be in a blaze in all parts before another week passes. " My last letter informed you that I had sent off my daughters to this town, and from these who knew more at the time of what was going on, I came here also on the 27th. The negroes suffered every thing sent for to come on here for two or three days ; hut on the 30th they began to plunder, and tila estate is burnt. About forty sugar-works and thirty-five or forty other settlements have been destroyed since the 27th.  " Mr. George Gordon had, on the night of the lit, a pitched battle with a large body of the insurgents, and he counted 69 dead bodies. This gentleman, having lost his property, has been indefatigable in his command ; yet notwithstanding every check, their deermination seems to increase, and I have now little hesitatio❑ t. say, that the island is or will be eventually lost. There is proof enough against the Baptists by the negroes' confessions to condemn them ; but they have decamped ; and, to my great itissaction, the Weal •yan minister, I hear, is still here. This seems a consciousness of innocence, for I have not heard any acme ition against him. " Sir W. Cotton, the Commander-in-Chief, is heir, with 300 or 4.00 regulars ; but there are un men-of-war, except the Blanche, Racehorse, and Sparrowhazok, which are at Montego Bay, except the Blossom, lately at Sayannah-la-M,r, in the island. We shall see how England bears the loss. This calamity here is the foundation-stone of a revolution at home.  " I have not beard from the overseer at Cornwall, who must be out oa duty; sod every one is so hsra,se-d, that they have no time to think, still less to write. I saw a note dated last night from a quiet district inWestmoreland, which stated what 1 said above as to the peace of that parish. I hope it will continue and end in tranquillity. The expres.ions attributed to the B.ptist preachers arerebellious and seditious in the highest degree, if the people who were of their congregation are to he believed. I can hardly recollect the names of the properties burnt. -, Copse. Burnt Ground Pen. , Eden. Dr. Windross' Ho. -t. Spring Garden end Gr. Ho. Dr. Bernard's Ho. Unity Hall. Mr. Kerr's Ho. • _  Bogue .

" Such is our present state, and the utmost vigilance is requisite every night to prevent our being burnt in our beds. Old buildings of wood are now pulling down, but as the servants in the town are disaffected, and many emissaries hidden among them, it is hardly possible to resist the conviction that they will ultimately succeed. Corr•ustitiles have been found in one negro room yesterday, Since their depredations have so far succeeded, they have commenced to murder men, women, and children, who tall into their hands, and as they proceed drinking and carousing they are desperate."
