INTELLIGENCE BY THE LAST MAIL.

KINGSTON (Jamaica) AUGUST 19.

Extract of a letter from Ebenezer, in the state of Georgia, dated June 25, 1789.

"We have still our dreads about us from the copper-coloured sovereign. What our hopes lead us to expect one day, is frustrated the next. The keen part of this community adjudge him artful, political, and rather delusive, but not totally destitute of virtue and magnanimity. Indeed, he seems to expect peace on his own terms: therefore, God only knows when it will be confirmed, unless Congress take the business on themselves.

"The seat of the present disturbances answers now as a rendezvous for European adventurers—therefore, the monarch will be never at a loss for white chieftains of some denomination.

They have lately ushered in a new Principal at the head of their renowned tribe of horse, by birth an Irishman—a substitute for one Thompson, an Englishman, who once headed this detachment, and we believe not undeservedly the favorite of the rising genius, except in the case of being suspected of an atrocious crime, that of adultery with one of their squaws of the first consequence, which reduced him to the necessity of decamping and leaving his property, or else lose his life. The present is a man further advanced in years, has been much longer in the country and of good military talents. Different accounts confirm him a perfect tyrant, unawed by compassion, continually embruing his hands in the blood of the innocent, for the ill-gotten plunder."
