N.. % • ti 594 AMERICAN PAPERS. NEW YORK, Nov. 4 —From St. Domingo.— Port-au,Prince, Oct. 10.—A few days billet; we received the news of the death of Christophe, and the revolt of the troops at St. Marc, and a strong fortress in its vicinity, both belonging, to that 310- narque. Parties of soldiers have come in from those places, bringing the heads of the Governor of St. Mare's, and of the Colonel comet:tinting the lit:ter. In be half of their emuresles, these men have claimed the protection of this government (under Boyer), which has in consequente sent off a considerable body of troops to take possession of those places, to be fid lowed by all the disposable farce now in the south, snaking altogether from 15 to 20,000 men. It is generally believed here that the mass of the population, under the successor of the late king Henry, is desirous of coming under that of the Re put lie. Should that be the Met, there is little doubt of President Boyer ere long visiting the Cape Whiz his army. Captain Mason, of the IVeymontlt, in twenty-two days from Port-au Prince, has furnished souse par ticulars of the disasters by the gale at that place, on the 29th September; th:ett American vessels were entirely lost outside the harbour, and great damage was done to the coffee plantations in the neigh- bourhood Ile also informs us, that the Emperor Christuphe died on the sth July last, and that the circumstance had been kept secret till this time by his fnuily, with a view, it is said, of placing his son on the throne. A revolt, however, had taken place smot. , the troops, and the sce.•et tvas let out. A body of 6,000 troops, at St. Marc's, had sent a deputation to Port-au-Prince, asking protection of the President (Boyer), who was astonished at the intelligence, and would not believe it till he had lent one of his Aides to ascertain the fact. The Officer returned with a full confirmation of the news, and Boyer immediately set oil, put himself at the head of the retolted treopa, and entered St. Mare's at the head of 18,000 men, in triumph. Active measures were taken to fit out all th armed vessels at Port-au-Prince, and it was be hived the President would subjugate the territory of his old enemy without any eitlieulty. BA LTI NI 0 R fi, November 6.—Henri the First of Ilayti.—Christophe committed suicide about ten days betbre the sailing of the Barraeort.— Ile bad stricken with a paralytic affection in July. The army took the advantage cf his incapa city to act, and revolted, first at St. Mare's, where they killed the governor. Five regiments at the Capes were then ordered by Christophe to march against the insurgents. When assembled, they refused, and turned their arms against him. NEw Youx, Oct 23.—Froze Angostura.—Caps. Vandinc, who arrived yerterilay in twenty-nine days from Angostura, and fifteen from St. Eustatia, informs that new:; reached the former place a fow days before be sailed, of the surrenper of Cartha gena to the Patriots.
