HAYTI.

•- On the 23d of • February a body of rebels,
amounting to between 12 and 1300, were attack-
ed in Fort Sabourin, by the Imperial troops, who
carried the place by assault, and either killed or
captured most of the garFison. A larger body of
rebels occupied Port aux Crimes, to which Fort
Sabo-Min, was k sort of outpost, and these have
hten(greatly weakened and intimidated liy its fate.
With-thixeeption, the empire of Hayti appears
perfecflyifanquil and happy, full of loyalty to its
Sovereign, and enthusiastically attached •to its
new ConstitutiOn, its laws, and indepentlene.—
A similar spirit is said to actuate the part of tht•
island under Petion, who is ,equally popular and
equally beloved as Christophe.

THE LATE MR. BOND.

A. Coroner's Inquest was held on Tuesday night,
at the Somerset Arius, Little Chelsea, on the body
of Thomas Bond.

William -Ediker stated, he was servant .to Mrs. Radford,
opposite to the house in which Mr. Bond Jived. He knew
Mr. B. about two or three yearS, and he used generally to be-
have himself verrstrangely. About eleven o'clock on Sun-
day morning, the whole neighbourhood Was alarmed by the
screams of Mrs. B. On enquiring what was the matter, she
eielahred, " Tom has made away with himself He looked
into the room, where be saw Mr. B. lying on the their with
his throat cut, and apparently quite dead. A surgeon was
procured, but. assistance was useless. A razor lay near the
body.

-Mr. Brandon, of Covent-garden Theatre, apologised by
letter for not attending the' ,Inquest, but. said he was ready to
-state on oath. that Mr. Build had sleewn many symptoms.of
insanity during the last two or three years._
Mr. Joseph Moreing, of Walharu-sreen, stated,, he had
known the deceased six or seven ve, and that it ;was' his
opinion; as well as that.of many of Mr. Ws friends, -that for
two or tiii.ee years his conduct wee almost always that of an
• insane man. For a week or ten -days together, he would
evince all the marks of derangement. This deranged state,
Mr. M. believed to have continued to the hour of his death.
The Coroner observed, , that he had been well acitc6,ted
with the father. and knew the deceased from a boy, of whose
insanity he entertained lIQ doubt ; it had long been o4vious
enough to many at times. The Jury returned a verdict of
haranity.

THE ENEMY.—Nearty all the rumours that reach
itc from the scene of action below are evidently so
-exaogerated and so contradictory, that it is im-
possible to form from them any thing Vie a cor-
rect or satisfactory,opinion either of the strength
or operations of the enemy. Each man brings
the tidings dictated by his own fears and impres-
sions ; consequently we are inundated with nu-
merous reports that bear no likeness to the truth.
The only intelligence which ire Can venture to
give to our readers as authentic, will be found in
the letter that folloies ; it is the latest we have
received, and may be confided in. We ab-
stain from pulllishing any of the verbal accounts
only as far •as to say,. that the letter we give is
confirmed by a Gentleman,. who sibsequently left
our troops, and who states, that the•enemy seem,
from appearances, destitute of - field artillery and
land transportation..
We also learn from a source entitled to credit,
that a part of the first brigade, consisting of Pe-
ter's artillery, Davidson's infantry, and Stull's
riflemen, being in advance, met yesterday a large
flanking party of the enemy. Our men, in the
most' pronipt and animated manner, fOrmed a line
.of battle; but the enemy declined the combat, and
filed off to their main.body.

" 1 ud Old Fields, ,loll(?//y, 2 o' Cinch p. in

" Our army is abont,two miles from the Wood-
yard ; the enemy's flankers (as we suppose) have.
advanced near the farm of -Mr. Benjamin Oden,
and his main body. to Upper Marlborough ;
force is not exactly known, but presumed to be
from 5 to 6009: Commodore Barney and his
men are now Ivith us. From a very heavy firing
or explosion, that we heard about 1 1 or 12 o'clock,

or that the militia, Majors Warren and -'s

GENEB BROWNS REPORT OF TFIE BATTLE OF THE

25TH ULT. AT THE PALLS OF NIAGARA.

. .
a,--Confined as I was, and have been, since the last en-
gagement with the enemy, I fear that the account I am about
to. give ,may he less full and satisfactory that, under other cir-
cumstances it might have been made. I particularly fear that the
conduct of the gallant men it was my good- fortune to lend
will not he noticed in a way due to,their-fame.and the ho-
noor of our country.
You are already' apprised, that the army had,.on the
Olt. taken a,position at Chippewa. About titkanJ F that day,
-ColOttel Swift, who was posted at Lewistown, advised me by
ripress, that the :enemy- appeared in considerable force. in
Queenstown, and on its heights; that four of the enemy's-
fli.et had arrived during the. preceding night, and were then
' lying,near Fort Niagara; and that a tainher,of boats were in
Moving up the streig.ht. Within a few milmtes after
this jatelti'ence had becnreceived,l was further informed' by
Dehuroil; of the Quarter-master's department, that
the enemy were'landing Lewistown, and- that our baggage
• and stores at Stiblosser, and on their waythither, were in dan-
gt!r of immediate capture.
. It is proper here to mention, that having reccivedadvices ap
late as-the .20th, from General Gaines, that our fleet was then
in port; and the Commodore sick, we ceased to look for co-
operation from,that quarter, and determined to disencumbee
ourselves of baggage, and march. directly.- to. Burlington
liehglits. To mask this intention, and to draw; from Schlosser
imut-11 supplyof-provisians',,l fell sack upon Chippewa. As
this arrangement, under the increased force.of the enemy,
left initchat la'azard on-our own side of-the. Niagara, and as it
appt:ared by thy before-stated information, that the enemy
wai,'atiout to avail 'himself of it, I poneeived that the most ef-
fectual method of recalling him front this object was to put
tnyself iu motion towards Queenstnwn. Gen. Scott, with
the Ist brigade, Towson's artillery, and all the eragoonsand
)oninted 'men, were. accordingly put in . march on the road
leading thither, with orders to report if the enemy appeared,
and-to call for assistance, if that was necessary.
On the Generals arrival at the Falls, he learned that the
enerny,was in force .directly in his front—a narrow piece of
woods alone intercepting his .view of th6n. Waiting only*
ta give this haul-I-nation, be advanced upon Ahem. By the
time Assistant Adjutant-General Jones hail delivered his.
intssage, the action began,- and before the remaining part of
the division 'hat! -crossed the Chippewa; it had become.clwe
and general between, the advauced corps. Though General
Ripley with the ed brigade,• Major Hindman with the corps
of artillery,-and General Porter at the head of his com-
mand, bad respectively pressed forward with ardour, it was

net less than an hour before they were brought to sustain
General Scott, during which time his command most slid-
, folly and gallantly maintained-the conflict. Updn my arrival
I found. that the Citmeral had passed the wood And engaged
the enemy on the Queenstown road, and on the ground to the
left of it, with the 9th, 11th, and 22d regiments, and Tow-
son's artillery.'
`flee 25th had been thrown to the right to be governed by
-circumstances. Apprehending that these corps were much
eillausted, and' knowitig that they had suffered severely, I
determined to interpose a new line with the advancing-troops,
and' thus dise.ogage General Scott, and hold his brigade in re-
serve. Orders were accordingly given to General 'Ripley.
The 'enemy's artillery at.this moment occupied 'a hill which
Ore hint great advantages, and was the key of the whole po-
sition.` It was supported by a line.of infantry: To secure
the Victory, it was necessary to carry this artillery, and seize
the height. Thi,, duty was assigned to Colonel, Miller, 'while,
favour its execuliem, the ISt regiment, under-the command
of Colonel Nicholas, was directed to menace and amuse the
•infantry: To my great mortification, this regiment, after a
disci:ores, or two, gave way, and retreated some distance be-
fore it. coolri he though it iS believed' this officers of
tic te:jewel exerted themselves to shorten this distance." •
la the mean-time, Colonel Miller, without regard to this
occurrence, advanced steadily and gallantly to his object, and
etirried the height and the carman General Ripley brought
-- up the 23d (which had also haltered), to his support, and the
enemy disappeared front before them. The let-regiment was
now brought into a line on the left of the and the dee
'tachments of the 17th and 19th, General Porter Occupying,
_ with his command, the extreme left. About this time Col.
11iilher eni rice! the enemy's cannon.
'The 25th regiment,- under Major Jessup, :was engaged in a
more obstinate conflict with all that remained to dispute with
us the held of battle. The Major, • as has been already stated,
had been ordefed by Genetal Scott, at the conunencement of
fire action, to take ground to his right. He hurl succeeded
i i trirtiing.the enemy's left flank--had captured (by ii detaCh-
merit,' under Ceiplain Ketchum) General Riall; and -sundry
other officers, and chewed himself again to his own army, in
a blaze of fire, which defeated or destroyed a very superior
force of the enemy. He was ordered to form on the right of
the 2d reeiment. The ent'rnS" rallying his forces, and, as. is
• believed, having received reinforcements, now attempted Ao
drive us from our position, and regain his artillery.- Our
line was unshaken, acid the enemy repulsed. - Two other at-
tempts, hariog the same object, had the same issue. .Geilerat.

the want of this necessary article. I therefore believed it
proper that Gen. Ripley and the troops should return to camp,
after bringing off the dead, the wounded, _and tl:e artillery;
and iw this I saw no difficulty, as the enemy had entirely ceased
to act. Within an hour after my-arrival in camp, I was in-
formed that General Ripley had returned without aonoyance,
and in good order. I now sent for him, and, after giving hint
my reasons for the measure I was about to adopt, male Ced
him to put the trwopsinto thr best possiblecontlition ; to give
them.th,e nece‘sary refreshment; to fake with him the pie-
quets and camp-guards, and every other deScription of force,
to put himself on the -field of battle as the day dawned, and
there to meet and beat. the. enemy if be again appeared. To
this otdcr he made no objection, ~and I relied upon itS exe-
cution. It was' not executed. I feel most sensibly how in-
adequate are my powers in•speaking of the troops, to do jus-
tice either totheir ulerits.or to my own sense of them. Under
ableC directions, they might have done more and better.
.From the preceding detail, yon have now evidence of the
distinguished gallantry of Generals Scott and Porter of Colo-
nel Miller and Major:Jessup.

. _ . . .
Of the Ist brigade,. the with his Aide-de-Camp
Worth, his Major of Brigade-Smith, and every Commander of
Battalion, were.wounded.

The 2d brigade suffered less: but, as a brigade, their con-
duct entitled them to the applause of their country. After
the enemy's strong position hail bean carried by the .21st, and
the detachments•of the 17th and 19th, the Ist and 23d as-
sumed a new character. They could not again be shaken or
dismayed. Major NPFarland, of the latter, fell nobly at the
head.of his battalion. •
Under the command of General Porter, the militia•volun-
teeys of Pensylyania and New York stood-undismayed amidst
the hottest fire,• and repulsed the. veterans opposed to them.
The Canadian volunteers, commanded by Colonel Wilson,
at e reported by Gen. Porter as having merited and received
his approbation.
The corps of artillery, eqinmanded .'by Malor.'Hintiman,
behaved with its • usual gallantry. Captain. Tosyson's com-
pany, attached to the Ist brigade, was the first and last en-
gageat ' ,
and during the whole conflict maintained that high
eriracter which they had previously won by their skill and
Valour. Captains Biddle and Ritchie were both wounded
early in the action; but refused to quit the field. The latter
declared that he never would leave his pie:a, ; true to his
engagement; fell by its side, covered with wounds. • •
- The. Staff of the army had its peculatirmerit and distinc-,
lion, Colenel Gardner, Adi et-ant-General, th-ough ill, was'
on huiseback, and did all in his power; his Assistant, Major.
Jones, was very active and uselail. My gallant Aidesde-
Comp, Austin-and Spencer, had 'many and critical duties to
perform,, in the discharge of which the' latter fell : I shall
ever think of this young man with pride and regret; regret
that iris career has been so short—pride that it s been so
noble and distinguished.
• The Engineers,: Majors •Macrae and Womb were greatly
distinguished on this day and their high military talents ex-
erted with great effect; ;hey, were much under my eye, and
near my person, and to their assistance a great deal is fairly
to be ascribed; Inmost earnestly recommend them, as worthy
cf the highest trust, and confidence. The Staff of Generals
Ripley and Porter discovered great zeal and attuotiun to duty,
Lica. E. B. ltatitilph,• of the 20th regiment, is entitled to
notice; his courage was conspieuous.'
I enclose a return of our loss; those noted as missing may.
generally be numbered with 'the dead. The enemy had but
little opportunity of making Prisoners.

BATAVIA, AuG. 13.--7 A considerable reinforce-
ment from tip the Lake joined our army at Erie a
few days since---eight or ten hundred more arr
daily expected- from that q►►arter.-r-Gen. Brown's
family arrived in this village a few days since; nun
on Thursday were visited by the General, who left
here this morning for Canandaigua... The Gene-
nil is fast recovering from his wourlds, and in a
'few days calculates to conduct, in person, the
operations of his army.

can be expected.—Two deserters from Fort Nia-
gara came in here Yesterday ; 'they state the force
in the Fort to consist of 120 ; that provisions are
very scarce, and the army on short allowance;
that there were not five rounds' of 'cartridges per
man'; that the .vessel which Chauncey run on
shore was-said to contain the ammunition intended
for•the fort.

NEW Yorm, AUG. 24.—Capt. Stocket, of the
schooner Hollins, Avho arrived at qua:.antine yes-.
terday morning, in eight days from the Havanna,'
informs, that a few days before he left there, two
Spanish sloops of war, a brig, and two schooners,
with troops,. sailed from the Havanna. for Pensa-
cola; and. the clay after a British frigate 'lnd two
sloops, with implements of war, military dresses,
and presents for the Indians, sailed from the Ha-
vanna ; destitiation not known, but said to be
also for Pensacola. A fleet of twelve ships, under
convoy of a frigate, had arrived at the Havanna,
in 45 days from Cadiz, laden chiefly With dour and
wines. Fifteen sail of Englishinerchantmen were
:to sail from Flavanna fur En land on the lst of
September. Captilin Stocket says it was the ge-
incraLimpression at the.Havanna
.that a war be-
tween the United States and Spain would take
unless the United States would relinquish
their title to New Orleans. Flour at the Havanna
was '2B dollars a barrel. Captain Stocket was
chased into the Hook by a 13ritish 74 and a'raz6e ;
at day-light this morning they were -within about
two miles of him, and fired several broadsides at
his schomier, hut Flid her:no injury, as the most of
the shot fell short.

BOSTON, AvG:2B.-1 Court of Inquiry, con-
sisting of Commodore Decatur, Commodore Per-
ry, and Captain Evans, was held in New York on
the 19th. The subject under consideration re-

Commodore Porter, with his crew, having been
ordered to Washington, the Court 'appears- to-
have been dissolved.
CORVETTE ADAMS.---Arrived at Buckstotvn;

run on a reef of rocks two days previous, at the
Isle of Holt, the corvette Adams, Captain Morris.
She' s much damaged, having started her fore
woolens, arid obliged to keep the pumps going
constantly---makes three inches water per minute.
When, aground she landed seventy prisOners on
the island, Which mostly made their escape. She
has taken eight prizes, which she burnt, viz. two
ships,-two brigs, and four Schooners—one cargo
invoiced at upwards of 80,0001. She .landed her
prisoners in consequence of the, probability of the
vessel's going to pieces. In a chase by a frigate',
off the Coast of Ireland, she threw over her quar-
ter guns, and after a chase of 49 hour's, made her
escape in the night. The crew are all sick of the
scurvy—ollicers all 'veil. The AdaMs is now at
Hampden, where she iS to be hove doWn, as it is
