The second Mail for June was brought here on Tuesday Evening, . . . [Transcriber's note: European news not transcribed]

It appears that the Bellette has captured a French schooner Le Rapide, which had been dispatched from Bayonne, by Bonaparte, to Captain-General Ernouf at Guadeloupe, with dispatches relative to the important changes which have lately taken place in Spain, but which she threw over board during the chace. The French sloop Phoenix which lately arrived in Barbados, from Cayenne as a Cartel, excited strong suspicions, respecting the purpose of her journey; - the strict search was made on board her, when the Duplicates of the dispatches, (thrown over board by Le Rapide) were found concealed in a Bread barrel. The Captain had been sent to England as well as a Mr. Bouron, who was charged with the dispatches, where, no doubt, they will be treated in the manner they deserve for having violated the Cartel flag.

The Savage sloop of war brings a disagreeable account of an insurrection having taken place in Jamaica, by the 2d W. I. Regiment, by which Lieutenant and Adjutant Ellis lost his life in attempting to quell the disturbance - being knocked off his Horse and instantly Bayonetted on the spot; - and we are extremely sorry to add that Major Darley shared the same fate, nor were they overcome untill a great number of them were shot, several escaped into the woods but were soon all taken or destroyed. The only pretence for grievance which they had, was that they were too frequently drilled, and that they wished to return to their own Country.

There has been a dreadful Fire at Falmouth, Montego Bay, Jamaica, on the night of 24th May, by which there has been an immense number of Houses destroyed and very considerable property lost by this accident.
The same account mentions the capture of the French National brg Grisson, of fourteen 24-pounders, a 12lb. cohorn and 2 long 6's - By His Majesty's ship Bacchante of 20 guns, Captain Inglefield.
The Grisson had 105 men on board - and had 6 wounded. - The Bacchante sustained very slight damage in her Rigging.

The Bacchus schooner, Lieutenant Malbon, sailed on Tuesday last with a flag of truce to the Oronoque. Mr. Theos: Williams accompanied Messrs. Waterton and Edmonston, and we understand his name was also inserted in the Commission.

Died] - On Thursday last, Mr. William Mitchell.

CLEARED - None. [heading]

FROM THE LONDON PAPERS. [heading]

June 8.] - Dispatches were received yesterday by Mr. Pinckney. - They were brought by a vessel called the St. Michael. - She sailed from America the fifth of May, with two Messengers, one of whom she landed at L'Orient, charged with dispatches for General Armstrong at Paris; and the other is said to have been put on board the Dragon sloop, who landed him in this country. - The nature of the dispatches has not transpired; but they are believed to be pacific. - We have long been of opinion that there was no likelihood of war between this Country and the United States.
