Washington, October 4.—The govern- ent lias official information of the exis tence of an insurrection at Santa Cruz, bat the advices say nothing regarding tlie num ber of lives supposed to be lost. Santa Cruz is embraced in the consular district of St. Thomas, under the jurisdiction of Con sul V. S. Smith. According to the latest ports received at the state depart ment here, the mob have suc ceeded in -capturing and destroying the town of Frcdericksted. There is United States consular agent resident there, and it is sumioscd his house ha* been destroyed with others. All tlie help availa ble lias been sent from St. Thomas by the Danish authorities there. No reason is known for tlie insurrection, a* it is supposed that the Danish authorities have been very mild towards the inhabitants. In addition to tlie Plymouth, sent in tlie afternoon from New York, for the protec- of the American citizens in Santa Cruz, navy department lias also ordered a vessel from the West India station, the one nearest to the disturbed region, to hasten on the same mission.
