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.
