mong the jieople, by his character and
exanijjle. 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

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. I'he right of the (iovernor to
rejecl a Speaker chosen by the Assembly
is denied and will be maintained.
The brig of war King’s Fisher, sail

board the Hon. ('olonel Hameey, bro-
Ncw Orleans^ Nov. 10.—We heard of a
circumstance yesterday, which is of a
nature to rouse the vigilance of the con*
stituted authoriticsofourstaie. 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.
