FROM IIAYri.
We have several accounts through va
rious channels from Hayt. The TOUR
made by Chrisiophe TO his southern prov
inces, and his stop, will his llaytian
guards, al ST. Marks, (about 40 miles from
Port au Prince) had excited much alarm
| and preparation in Bowers domain and
a contest betweep the blacks and ycllows
was expected. From the information we
have received, from Christophc's ports, we
are vi opinion thai hosiiities were not Sc
| rlously intended by the black Chief.-He
preiends, that he expected Potion would
have named him his successor, and thus
have united all Hdgti under one chief !;
and iniimates, that Boyer has no claim 10
the command, and could not be popular

i'rociamaiions from st. Marks, en,reatimg
| the Hay tlans under Boyer, 10 unite under
| his sway, and consolidate the singdom;-
| made them large promises OF amnesty,
protection and office, and sent several of
4 u
| their dispositions. These, we learn, have
been sent back with Indignation, and his
enireatles spurned. II these officers can
satisfy their master that the colored peo-
pie are attached 10 Boyer, and ready TO
try The tug of war, he will, we think, i'm
mediateiy reirace his steps 10 Sans Souci.
