INSURRECTION IN GUADALOUPE

St. John's. (Antigua) Oct. 11--Accounts from Guadaloupe, we are sorry to state, announce the discovery of a Conspiracy to regain the possession of that Island for its former master, Bonaparte. The particulars are not known here, and perhaps, for obvious reasons, are but partially known even at Guadaloupe to the mass of the inhabitants; from what has transpired it appears clear, that a number of the principal merchants have countenanced this act of treason to the British government, and for which offence a very considerable number of them have received orders to leave the Colony within a fortnight. The discovery is said to have been made in consequence of the apprehension of a young man in the employ of Elbers and Crafts, of St. Bartholomews. under circumstances that led to a suspicion of his being engaged in an attempt to foment disturbances, in whose possession a number of papers containing plans, proclamations, &c. together with a very considerable sum of money, supposed to be intended to bribe the soldiery, were found. In what manner the insurrection was to have been conducted we have not learnt, but it was evidently the intention of those concerned to have restored the Colony to the dominion of Bonaparte, if it had succeeded.--Accounts received some time back from Mr. Jackson, announce the arrival in America of a number of French emissaries, whose ultimate destination seems to have been to sow the seeds of commotion. wherever there was the least probability of success. It is not improbable that the armaments which have for some time past been preparing at Toulon, the Scheldt and the Texel, have some connection with these treasonable efforts.
