ST. .DOMINGO.

A foreign Journal gives the following details
relative to the present situation of St. Domingo:—
" The last 'sews from St. Domingo induces me
to give you some account of the characters who
govern that Islai.d. Christophe and Boyer ut pre•
sent share the island between them, and their forces
appear to be numerically equal. The river Artilso-
lute srparatei the two States. The capital of one
division is the Cape, and that of the other Port-au-
Prince. Besides 40,000 armed men, St. Domingo
comment a black population of 550,000 individuals.
Christophe puistsses • savage character. Born
under the bu g climate of Africa, he was • slave
at Jamaica, and escaped to St. Domingo, when it
was convulsed by the Revolution. He was not,
however, noticed previously to the arrival of General
Le Clerc ; but from that period he was seen fore-
most in the insurrection of the Blacks, following the
11F1111C6,usiii purchasing their plunder, thus arquir-
ing an immense fortune ; he distinguished himself
under Toussaint, who made him • General ; he
afterwards joined Dessalines against the French
army, and finally, in 1805, he succeeded that ad-
venturer in the kingdom of Hayti.
" A Capuchin, named Cornelius Brell, crowned
Christophe in the church at the Cape, and the oil
of the cocoa-nut was used fur this ceremony. The
new Sovereign organized his Court on the footing
of that of Bonaparte; he changed his came and
took that of Henry 1., nominated at will a number
of black Dukes, Counts, and Barons, and assigned
them the principal plantations in the eolony, which
he created into.flefs. He had a Como de I insoss-
