ST. DOMINGO.

We have been favoured with the following extraft
of a letter from a St. Domingo Planter now refiding
at Baltimore, to his brother, in this country, dated
Baltimore, Anglia 4
" By a veffel which left the Cape fifteen days ago,
I have received information, that an agreement has
been entered into between Da SSALI Nas and the COM-
minder of the French troops in the Spanifh part of
st. Domingo, according to which, the latter, if he
(hall receive no reinforcements in the mean time, is
to evacuate the Wand on or before the fill of next
November. The army of the Blacks is, in the mean
time, to continue in thofe pofitions which it occupied
when the agreement was figned. No battle had pre-
vinufl y been fought between the contending parties ;
but daily fkirmithes, with various fuccefs, Lad taken
place between the advanced polls. DassacraEg had
eflablifhed a contlitutional committee, which fits at
the Cape, confining of eleven members, of whom,
two are white, three Mulattoes, and fix Blacks. ft
is kid, tbat they have digefted a conflitutional code,
which will be protlaimed as roan as the whole ifiand
is in the power of the Blacks. According to it, the
future form of Government of the Republic of Hayti
will be organized. Report rays, that DISS•LINAS
will be declared the Sovereign Inca for life, and, that
his children will fucceed him in this dignity. which
is made hereditary in his family. A knate. a tram;
nal, a legiflatiye body. and a council of Rate, will
be eflablilhed at St. Domingo; as the eordlicntionof
which, with very few variations, is nearly the fame
as that adopted in France. Should the Port content
to the propofals DF SSALIN FS intends to make, the
Roman Catholic religion will be the religion of (fate
in the Republic of Hayti. The American (hip Eli-
zabeth, Captain Tuella', has been hired by Duca-
eta Es, and is to carry to the POPE a deputation, or
rather an ernbafry, at the head of which is Faissecots

Cardinals or Prelates to advife in regulating the al.
fairs of religion, and to anitt in the ceremony of the
inauguration of DessaLrNss as Supreme Inca, which
according to report, will take place on the firlt of
!text January. Cuarsrormr, and five other Black
Generals, are appointed Field Marlhals, and have
each received three valuable plantations to keep up
their new rank with lultre. A certain number oleo!.
tivators have been Aligned over to them, as labourers,
to work their lands. which caufed a momentary mu-
