The arrival of the West India packet brings intelligence from
Jamaica to the 9th of June. Generally it is of a cheering cha- racter, as respects the crops and the conduct of the Negroes; but on the 26th of' May a serious disturbance had occurred at Fal- mouth. It appears that a party of Blacks, released from a slave- ship, had been taken to Jamaica, and placed as indentured ser- vants with a planter in Westmoreland county. Several of these, dissatisfied with their lot, decamped ; and found refuge in the house of Mr. 1Vsan, a Baptist minister of Falmouth. Warrants were obtained for their arrest ; but this was not effected till after a rencounter between a mob of Blacks, first with the police and afterwards with the military called in to assist the civil pourer. The mob assailed the soldiers with stones and various missiles, and did not disperse till the latter charged with fixed bayonets. Major legy, who commanded the military, three privages iie
