BALTIMORE, Sept. 9-Tbe brig Strong
sailed yesterday from this port bound TO
! Cape Haytien, with twenty one emigrants
on board, l9 adults and two children. -

and several of them well educated Much
good to the cause is anticipated from the
accounts of the country which they will
transmit 10 their friends in this country -
The Strong had full cargo of goods and
could not accommodate more passengers
Considering the short time tor prepare ion
since citizen Granville arrived in our city,
: the number OF respectable et0igrants that
have with so much alaCrity embraced lbe
liberal offers of President Boyer is ex-
ceediDgly fattering, and there is every
! reason to believe that thousands will take
the earliest opportunity TO follow their
friends and brethren 10 the land of pro-
mise.
