The Philadelphia Gaza. te received yefterday contains
the fobitance of a Report made 'o CHRIS rortst, re-
Imive to the late Expedition to Gonaives. It was as
follows :

" The city of Gonaives had for a long time been
the centre and rendezvous of the emiffaries of the
rebel Petiqn. It was from this new Coblentz, that
fome of his partizans under the ridiculous denomina-
tion of friret do poll (brethren of colour), kept up a
correfpondence with Pot t-au Prince, and acquainted
the enemy with every movement of our army. The
fudden and neceffx►y arrea of Come of there cnnfpi
rators teemed to have intimidated the remainder,
and arrested the progrefs of the evil ; but it was only
a temporary calm. His Excellency, the Prefident of
Hayti, had fcaicely left that place, for the purpofe
of fuppreffing fume infutreCtionary movements at
Gros Moyne, when an expedition of 16 or 17 fail, in
which we noticed feveral American veffels, appeared
before Gonaives on the 28th of May, having on
board a number of troops ready for difembarkation.
General Magny, who commanded the place, defend-
ed it obstinately with a garrifun of only 6o men, cut
his way through the revolters, after having filled the
streets with their dead bodies, and retreated with his
men in good order to Pangaudin, at the difiance of
a league and a half, where he remained for a week
without the revolters having ever dared to attack
hint, or to pats the limits of the city.
66 His Excellency was no Conner made acquainted
with this hate of 'things, titan he direited General
Magny and Colonel Jaiim to diflodge the rebels, and
drive them into the tea. This order was no Conner
given than executed. Our troops with a manly con-
fidence entered the city—the revolters, panic 'truck,
fled without ever pretending to make any refittance,
and evacuated the city in diforder, ran precipitately
to two forts, which they had ereeed and put in a
(tate of defence on the lea (bore ; but neither their
works or their cannon, nor even the veffels which
they had drawn up to proteEt them, could fhield them
from the attacks, or ri.prefs the ardour of our brave
foldiers.

After a cannonade of three days, (from the 7th
to the 9th of June), during which a great number of
the rebels were killed, they were forced to evacuate
the place entirely on the night of the loth, leavicg
the Ihore covered with the dead, dying, and wounded.
The whole of their veld, let Gil in the morning to-
wards Port.au•Prince.

is Thin, notwithflanding the treafon which exißed
atGonaives among come weak or wicked men, neither
Pction, nor his adherents, have Peen his efforts
crowned with fucceil—they have been every where
vanquilhed and obliged to fly in a fhatneful manner ;
the mere name alone of the Prelident of Hayti, was
fufficient to conquer, to annihilate them.

44 What do they want? What would thefe agitators,
thefe fcourges of fociety have ? How long will they
continue to beg the patience of the Chief of the State?
Are they unacquainted with the means he polfeffeb
of reducing them to dull? A fword fufpended by a
hair hangs over their heads, and yet they dare to it
ritate him! 76 whom doer the astthority Wong, if not to
theironzeli ?"
