elution : • .

CAFE H SNRY, I.3.—There have been some very
ilopoitant chanees ,itt the 'Government since I last wrote
you. About two mow hs ago the Kitig• was suddenly attacked
Kith a severe tit of apople:sy, and it was thought lie never
would completely record'; during his life-time you hive
oaten heard or his 13-utility and great.ctueltics, which of late
leave been more excessive. On the 30th of September, lie put
in irons the Colonel of the Bth Regiment ; his men, who
were lunch attached to hint, instatitly revolted and took pos-
session of the town of St, Marc's.. The King immediately
suit a force against it, but they were repulsed. So soon as
the news reached this, the garrison revolted also and declared
thereselt es free ; and, by the 4th instant, the whole coon-
y e s in arms to depose the
,Kine, and to do away with
Roye It y altoget her. On the Bth, the King assembled his body
Frtard, and 'offered them money, and also the pillage of the
Gain', but they refused to take their arms. Finding himself
deserted, he retired into Isis 'room slid abut himself through
the heart. The Queen and his family had him -immediately.
carried up to the citadel, where he was buried under one of
1.14 e bastions. in status quo, as he was so much detested that
they caul(' not get any person eVen so much as to make a
crogin for him. Ills body was hardly out oh his Palace at Sans
tiouci before the soldiers entered* and, if/ two • hours
time, they pillaged to the amount of one million of dollars,
in plate, jewels, and'inaney. The priions have all been
thrown• open, and. to the number of nearly four thousand
ppur devils have been :set at liberty. It is too shocking
to relate to yon the -miserable appearance of some of
these poor wretches, many of whom have had .1 heir backs
broken by bastinading, and will be cripples for life ; his
crimes and cm (Jellies will now be known, and will astonish
the »urld. The .11ey of Algiers has been nuthing so had. 'lt is
said thAt one of his last orders was to murder all the Whites and
Mulattoes, as he atu United the commotions entirely to them.
'f,bey are now about forming, the New Lonstitution„ which is
to he a Republic, something like the liberty they enjoyed under
Toussaint L'Overt ore. It is expected General ltotuaine will
bi.Tresident, a very good man and very popular. There are
al;utit 46,000,000 dollars in the citadel, anti tncre is. good deal
'of, it...to be put in circulation. Front every point we view it,
it mostbenefit commelee, and I sin of opinion that twice the
imports and exports will be seen in less than one year. Con-
sider that-there have. been for the last fitted) years, not less
titan 12,000. people in garrisons and public works, who will.
now be allowed to work for. hemselves. There is no country-
in the world that •holds out greater encouragement to culti-
vators.---The Queen, Prince, and Princesses, are in town;
they did not save more than what was on their backs. There
are Aso:some of th.e.Cliiefs who stack by the King. Some of
thew have hit a pour schance to live. lii the mean time,
consider myself and property perfectly secure.' . ,
