THE FALL OF SOULOQUE,

t i 1,

ITO sltpertl"
which I ;hi! ' ributed to the ap-
pearance of comets, but tew we think, are aware
that the comet of 1858 did most decidedly over-
throw an empire, as will be seen from the following
account which we abridge from a most interesting
paper, by the pen of M. Gustave d'Alaux, published
in the _Revue des Deux-Mondes :—Souloque it ap-
pears, rose to power, and maintained himself in it
for eve.n years through the agency of the an-
tagonism of colour so universal in the island, and
because he belonged to the sect of the vaudoux,
kind of African freemasons, by whose means he had
a mysterious and devoted police at his service.
His auxiliaries were the piquets and the zinglins.
names denoting a class of ruffians of the south and
a similar one of Port-au-Prince, who had distin-
guished themselves in every popular disturbance
by their peculiar talent for rapine and murder.
But as Souloque after all kept them quiet under
his iron rod, the better class had bcc)me recon-
ciled to his rule for want of a more eligible one.
Geffrard, who dethroned him on the 14th of Jan-
uary last, is a 91-life, that is, a mulatto by birth,
but with a black skin, which circumstance gives
him the advantage of being claimed at once by
both castes, and therefore of having it in his power
to influence them both. Ile had entered the army
at the age of 15, that is, in 1821, was appointed a
captain under Boyer in 1843, and sided with the
mulattos in the revolution of that year, in which
he played a conspicuous part. He was raised to
the rank of general by President Guerrier ; but the
latter's successor, Riche, who hatedGeffrard, ordered
him to be judged by court-martial (which, in other
words, means shot) for some imaginary offence or
other. But Dupuy, Minister of War, who was un-
willing that the State should lose the services of so
good an officer, looked about him for some fit per-
son to act as president of the court-martial, well
knowing that, as the president voted, so would the
rest of the board, and that therefore Geffrard's life
depended on the choice of a president. After much
consideration, Dupuy fixed upon the most inoffensive
of mortals, commandant of the Presidential Guard,
a fat and jovial fellow whom his friends used to
call Compere Cicada, and who was no other than
Souloque himself ! " General," said Dupuy to
him, " the Government is about to entrust you with
a matter of importance; you are to preside over the
Court-martial which is to judge General Geffrard."
—" Dear me !" exclaimed Souloque in consterna-
tion at the idea of having to commit a murder.—
" Surely, General," replied Dupuy in a tone of
severity, "you do not hesitate to do your duty ?"
J" Well, I shall condemn," answered Souloque
mournfully shrugging his shoulders.—" What !"
exclaimed Dupuy alarmed ; "do you mean to
say you have proofs of his guilt ?"—" No ; but
since President Riche has ordered." . . .—Du-
puy seeing that he had found more docility than
he wanted, took Souloque to task, and gave him to
understand that it was an acquittal, and not a con-
demnation that was required. The acquittal was
obtained, and this event established a bond of
friendship between Souloque: and Geffrard, which
it required the most adverse fate to break. We
cannot stop to 'give a description of Souloque's
Government after his coup d'etat ; suffice it to say
that his financial system was the simplest in the
world, since it merely consisted in laying hold of
everything he could get at, and never paying if he
could help it. The details of this system are most
amusingly described by the author of the paper; but
our limits forbid us to enter further into the subject,
except to state that Souloque, finding that his
soldiers, with their pay of one sou per diem, were
idling away their time, thought he would give
them something to do; and accordingly set them
to work on his.own grounds and buildings, making
them toil from morning to night at the self-
same sou per day, it never entering his mind that
they should be paid extra for extra labour. Nay,
he found this system so profitable, that he ordered
away the whole regiment of the department of the
Artibonite, the only really agricultural district of
his dominions, to make the men work at his plan-
tation ; so that not a single able-bodied man re-
maims' in the department, all agricultural labour
was at a stand-still, and the Artibonite River
overflowed its banks, there being no hands to keep
the dams in order. All this of course created im-
mense discontent, and the people generally looked.
to Geffrard as the probable chief of a future insur-
rection. Geffrard, however, out of gratitude to
Souloque, declined all overtures of the kind.
Matters were in this state when the comet of Sep-
tember, 1858, made its appearance. Now, in the
Island of St. Domingo comets have maintained
their old reputation to the fullest extent; that of
1811 announced the siege of Port-au-Prince; that
of 1843, the tail of which, curiously enough, had
been christened Geffrard's plume by the people,
had ushered in the revolution which overthrew
Boyer ; and as soon as the comet of 1858 appeared
with its double tai','wl LI was more distiinty seen
in those latitudes than in Europe the people ex-
claimed : " Geffrard rises in rank • he has two
plumes !" Souloque, seriously frightened, sent for
his confidential sorcerer to consult him on the
comet; the latter, however, a prudent man, as-
sured him that the comet was only on its way to
South America, and it would create a revolution; in
fact, it was turning its horns towards the conti-
nent. But days and weeks passed, and still the
comet was there, and what was worse, its horns
shifted their position. This created such ex-
citement among the population, that Souloque
was at length obliged to insert an article in
the Moniteur Millen, in which, after positively
contradicting the "alarming rumours which had
been circulating for some days past," he threatened
all those who should dare to propagate them with
expulsion or arrest. But the idea of a revolution
headed by Geffrard had seized hold of the public
mind, and Souloque at length resolved, from a
sense of self-preservation to do away with
Geffrard, although he had formerly saved his
life, and bad therefore conceived a strong affec-
tion for him. It was then only that Geffrard,
also acting on his part in sheer self-defence, con-
sented to head an insurrection. How the revolu-
tion was accomplished the reader must see in M.
Gustave d'Alaux 's delightful article; we must con-
tent ourselves with the following characteristic
traits. The day before Geffrard was expected to
appear before the gates of the capital, Soulouque
had given orders for a general massacre of the
mulattos: At 4 a.m. of the eventful day his ge-
nerals came to wake him, telling him the enemy
was at the gates. Souloque listened : " Non-
sense !" exclaimed he, "it is the prisoners ! What
o'clock is it ? Only four? The stupid fellows ! I
had bid them begin (the massacre) only in the
afternoon ! " So saying, he turned round to sleep
again. When at length he was convinced of the
tact that Geffrard was master of the capital he
cried, while slipping on this nether garment (which,
by the by, remained half unbuttoned during the .
lest of that eventful day, a circumstance which
rather detracted from the dignity of a scene of
fallen greatness), " Where are my guards ?"--
" They refuse to march, Sire !" " Then," replied
Souloque, after a moment's reflection, with the
completest confidence, " tell General Geffrard to
send me a guard," so convinced was he that the
man whose life he had saved would now protect
him. In this he was not mistaken ; Geffrard did
send him a guard, and had his retreat to the French
consulate protected by a strong escort, which saved
him from the violence of an infuriated rabble. The
rest of his story is known.

MUNICIPAL VIEWS OF ANTIQUITIES,--The fine
equestrian statue of Charles 11. in the Parliament-square,
Edinburgh, first erected in 1685, is, it seems in imminent
danger of falling from its pedestal, owing to a crack at the
fetlock joint of the only forefoot Which touches the ground,
the other limb being lifted, so that the entire *eight of the
front half of the statue rests on one foot. A proposal was
a few days since made to the Town Council, by whose pre-
decessors the status was put up, to repair the flaw. One
member (Mr. Fyfe) objected, stating that he did not see why
tl e statue should be preserved, seeing that Charles II :vas
neither a great nor a good man, and his statue being, in his
view, a reproach to the town, it ought to be allowed to fall
into decay. Another member (Mr. Dick) a veterinary pro-
, fessor, took a different view of the question, for though he
did not much approve the statue being there he would put
it in repair, he said, for the sake of the horse. Mr. Mac-
knight, on the other hand, thought there was not a finer
equestrian statue in Great Britain, and without more dis-
cussion the necessary repairs were ordered.
THE TRADE OF HARTLEPOOL.—The Customs'
returns for the last three quarters of the year terminating
last month show a state of prosperity hitherto unprecedented
ire the history of this port. This gratifying state is attri-
butable to the vast number of importations and egportations
going on daily at West Hartlepool, and with every pros-
pect of a great increase. So greatly has the business of
the Custom-house been increased in consequence that seven
additional officers have been sent down from London and
Liverpool to aid the already numerous staff of the port.
The number'of vessels which have arrived inwards with
foreign cargoes during the period above stated have ex-
ceeded by 135 the number of the corresponding period of
last year, and there is an excess of about 5' 0 the number
of vessels taking in coals forth° foreign and coasting trades.
The revenue for the same period has increased nearly 50
e • cent. The total value of goods exported during last
month alone (exclusive of coal and coke) amounted to
£553,665. A comparison of the revenue returns for the last
nine months with the corresponding period of last year
shows an excess of not less than £1,210,887. These results
are, as before stated, mainly attributable to the progress of
the newly-made town and docks of West Hartlepool, where
the importaticn of timber has become quite an extensive
feature of its trade. An additional timber pond has lately
been formed, making a space of about 18 acres in yards and
ponds appropriated to the storing of timber. The greet
facilities afforded by the dock and railway company far the
landing and transmitting of goods to all parts inland with-
out the least delay have induced several of the leading tim-
ber merchants of Hull to transfer portions of their business
to West Hartlepool. Some idea of the neve -ceasing whirl
going on may be imagined from the fact that an average of
seven large steamers from Rotterdam, Hamburg, and Cr( n•
stadt arrive, are uuloadcd, rebaded, aid despatched every
week.
