FROM GIBRALTAR.
By the brig Two Brothers, from Gibraltar, we received a paper of June 15. It contains particulars of the abortive attempt at a revolution at Tunis early in May, as lately mentioned in the American papers. The insurgents ran away with five vessels. One of these put into Modena and was seized, another had landed about 100 of her crew who were discontented but had 200 cit. These two vessels had murdered the crew of an English merchant brig, and sunk the vessel. A British & a Russian vessel, laden with wheat, had been seen without any person on board. The fugitive Tunisian vessels were supposed to be bound to the Levant. But for the appearance of the B. frigate Euphrates off Tunis it was supposed the revolters would have destroyed the Bey's fleet and arsenal, and the Goleta.
