REVOLUTION In nAYTI.
A revolution is going on in Hayti, with
fair prospect of complete success. The
people In large numbers have risen
against Boyer's government, The troops
sent against them have been defeated and
driven back, or have deserted to their
standard, and they appear to be carrying
everything before them. The demands
of the insurgents are certainly reasonable,
whatever may bethought of the way they
take 10 enforce them. They ask:
|. A revision of The Constitution. To
this the Constitution itself entities them,
for itprovides that it shall be revised once
in nine years, but Boyer has refused
TO grant 1t, though not nine only, but
thrice nine years have passed since it was
adopted.
2. That the President shall henceforth
be elected for FIVE or seven years and not
life.
3. That the enormous standing army
shall be dismissed the country not being
able TO support the expense.
A. That Boyer shall be made to give
strict account of the finances, and refund
what he has sent out Of the country on his
private account.
The whole South Of the island is al.
| ready arraved on the side of the Patriots,
except the town of Aux Caves, where
Boyer's garrison still holds out, but, it was
believed, would not be- aole to DO so much
longer. A provisional government has
been formed, at the head Of which is Gen
Herard. Boyer is at Port au Prince, the
capital, buslly preparing for It's defense,
by Strengthening the Notifications. &c.
The insurgents army had at the last in.
telligence advanced within twenty five
miles OF that city, and it was expected
they would soon enter it. The agent of a
large commercial house there has issued
circular which states that the greater
part OF the force there will not act against
them, but have urged Boyer TO settle the
difficulty peaceabfY, which he is said 10
have shown some disposition to do. An
| other account states that he is loading a
vessel with his treasures, to be in readi-
ness for escape TO some other country 10
the last resort.
The provisional government has issued
proclamation, opening TO foreign CON-
merce the ports of Aqun, Aused' FIainault
and Miragoaine, which had beer closed
by Boyer. ....--....
Thus far the revolution has gone on
with as little disturbance Of the general
quiet of the island as successful military
movement could There has been M
pillaging or molestation of peAceab!e citi-
zens, bn; every thing has teen done in an
orderly manner, with fixed regard TO the
avowed object of overthrowing Bowers
despo.ism, and establishing, with the least
possible violence, free government in its
place Voice Of Freedom. Il
