Capt. Smith. who arrived at Boston on
Sunday in 24 days from St Jago de Cuba.

gentleman came to that place from Port
au. Prince. and reported that General Peti-
on had collected all his followers in mass.
amounting to about $4,000, of which 1000
we're cavalry that of this force 1000 had
marched against the Cape under the COM
mand OF colonels, who in case of success
were to be promoted and who marched
with determination to effect their object or
to perish in the attempt. The gentleman
added, that information had been received
of the unmolested march of this little army
within 90 miles Of the town: but that the
news of their approach having been gained
by the enemy, the troops and inhabitants
were assembled to defend the place 1t is
however conjectured. that their resistance
would be Ruthless, and that the town had
already capitulated. General Fetion was
eIcamped about Is miles from Port. au-
Prince with the remaining troops waiting
the result of this enterprise when it was
his intention to join Gen. De Mem, who
commanded ut the Mole, and attempt the
immediate and total humiliation of Christie

ed OF the destruction of a part of Chris

FIRST charge against the officer for NO,
having given notice to all The men.
bers composing this company, BY
proper non-commissioncd officer, it
is groundiess. The district com.
planned of, over which the command
