A Cumana paper ol October 15, has a long account oi the aflair, and mentions among the suflerers the dis- linguished Col. Montes, who was sur prised by some of the factious, who en tertained towards him feelings of personal hostility £c muniered within twelve miles of Cumana. Eroui the same source vve learn, that the country remained after the suppres sion of the above mentioned rebellion, in a state of perfect tranquillity, and noth ing further is appreluMided, as Bolivar seems lo have a desire to unite all hearts in the cause of their country ; and his in- lluence is so great that there remains no doubt of his success. It appears that the conspiracy in favor of Ferdinand, which was sometime ago discovered and suppressed in Caraccas, was connected with the rebellion ol Cumana. Balt. Gaz. Lower Canada.—In the Montreal and Quebec pa[)ers we find the Proclamation >f Lord Dalhousic, proroguing; in the King’s name the Parliament of the Pro vince until the 3d January next. 'Ihis step has been taken owing to the House persisting in the choire of a Sin aker, whom the Governor refused to confirm. —The Montreal Courant, in speaking of the afl'air, says, although such an event was expected by most persons here, yei • he country has lo deplore the existence of a state of afiairs, from which there is no prospect of its being relieved short of the intprposition of the mother gov ernment.

A black woman returned to her master in this city, after an absence of sixteen years. By her account, it appears that there ig a negro settlement about eight miles to the north of this city, between the Gen* tilly road and lake Pontcharlrain. The spot where these negroes have locatcU themselves, is situate in what is usually called the Tremulmg PruiritSu in thiscoun* try. Similar to the Oasis of ihe Great Deserts, a piece of Jirm soil has been found, lo wiiich the approach is cut ofF by swamps resembling quicksands in iheir nature, as they are sure to swallow up tho inexperienced hunter who ven tures within iiieir vortex. It appears that several blacks having discovered the means of passing those morasses, have sought for and fixed thvir homes on tliose small tracts of firm ground whieh are here and there discovered in iheircentre. Thecampfrom which the aforesaid negress came is said to cxreed fifty or sixty souls, who regularly plant corn, sweet potatoes, and othe." vegeta bles, and raise hogs and poultry. Some, no doubt, occasionally resort to fishing, but the object of their excursions gen erally, is to pillage by night in the en virons of this city. It is believed that the uncommon dry- ness cf the present year has made those retreats attainable, by a little persever ance and iogenuity ; and wc are lold theio is another camp about the head of the bayou Bienvenu. Policy imperiously calls for a thoroigh search, and the de struction of surh retreats, wherever found to exist. From Niks’ Weekly Reglblcr.
