PORT-AU-PRINCE. HAITI, APRIL 13.

The President has succumbed to the rabble of Peet
Prince, who wish a return to the constitution of 1816. The
late ministry would not carry out the President's views, sai
g►ve in their demission. Another ministry has been farad.
At present I have mile learned the names of three of the
ministers ; they are Salomon of Cayes, Vara] of Again, mg
Francisque of Giciaines. Meanwhile the standard of the
revolt has been raised in the south against the President, tad
Agnin and St. Louis have marched on Covaillon, which
they have taken; and it is expected they will proceed for Au
Cayes, in and around which the president has numerous putt•
tans. Oen. Zamor, formerly commanding the south. and mkt
was called to answer a charge of sedition that had been pre
(erred against him, is in prison here. General Milord,
Cavaillon, was also called to the mita], and has ape
rienced the same fate; but the case which has excited th
most general sympathy is that of a citizen of St. Louis,
quiet, inoffensive, respectable man, who was called here t
answer a charge which had been trumped up against
be
of having in his possession a letter containing seditim
matter. He has been thrown into prison, where he remit
confined in chains. Several other persons, of various grade
have been summoned here from different parts of the isho
but meny having a suspicion have absented themeelve
This *ho.esale imprisonment of persons, against whom
reasonable charge can be brought, has caused very gene
disgust against his excellency, and has doubtless precipitu
the present rising against him. The state of affairs is en
critical, and can scarcely, I think, pau off without bloodshs
