HAYTIEN REVOLUTION.

There is in tho New York Courier and r n.
quirer, "A translation from tho '.Courier des f.
tate Uois," Of an exposition, by sundry citizens
Of Hay,i, OF the revolution now in progress In
that IslAnd. II ducisros tho, tho people are In
arms against President Boyer. who, for TWEEN
ty.nve years, has been exercising tyranny and
Iapacily, and has even corrupted the courts Of
Justice. The Senate labored in vain to nbol-
ish the Presidency for life, and now the peo.
pie have arisen 10 overthrow the government
Of Boyer, and to obtain new Constitution.
The minds Of tho people had been prepared
by secret movements at Cages, whence a man
ifesto was issued, calling upon them 10 rally,
and pu, down the reign Of the iniolerable
chief.
On tho 2S,h Of January. Charles Herard.
nominated by the Peoples Committee rs chief
Executive. raised tho standard at his .plan,a-
ton. near Cages. lie rallied a, first but one
hundred men. He addressed General Borgel-
Ia, Governor Of Cages, to mediate: but he and
lnginac, and few other ariatocrass. divide
the spoils Of tho people among themselves.
their relations aud. even their Wallets. General
Borgella issued, on the s9,h, On order, declaring
Herard traitor. On the Goth, he MARCHED
against the insurgents and they fell back, and
received aid from several Generals and regi
ments Of the national troops; aud since that
time. one half Of Boyer's troops. and Of the
National Guards, have joined Herard's troops.
On the a5ih Of February. battle was Tough,
one league from Jeremie. and the insurgents
were completely successful. Tho insurgents
arc abou, fifteen thousand strong. The letter
tins concludes:
"In shor, The revolution now is inaugerated
In the four quarters ofthe Island of Hiatt. The
fall of the iyrunt is inevitable.
"God has cursed him aud hs, and IL is ev.
iden, he protects the cause Of the people and
of liberty.
..rhe army OF the people marched on the
Capitol, where Boyer and his family are for,i-
flying themselves with soma men Of his guard
who are devoted to him. and some sdhercnls
he has obtained by sacrificing the public good.
"rhe success of,he people viii not only be
10 favor OF liberty, civilization, the advance.
meni and felicity Of the Haytien nation, but il
mus, also accelerate the triumph Of the cause

RuAoR.---Last evening, after the arrival Of the
Southern Mail, rumor was afioat, tracsabe &c the
conductor of the Baltimore cars, the mail agent,
which caused no little surprise.
1t said that at a Cabinet Council, held on
Tuesday, Mr.. Spencer, now Secretary OF the Irea-
sury, minated wish that the President would
dismiss Commander Mackenzie from the Navy
The President. OF course could not consent to such
proposition, and Mr.. Spencer threatened TO with
draw from the Cabinei, if his request was not
granted.
Judge Upshur, il is said, hinted that as ne was
at the head ofthe Navy Department, such measure
would affect his position.
And it is added, that af,er the Council had been
closed, Mr.. ). pressed the matter warmly. that
blow was passed between him and The Secretary OF
the Navy. We doubt the latter, because We know
that Judge Upshur is man whose sense Of what IS
doe 10 his character as a gentleman, and his Dig
MY as a poblic iunciionary, would withhold him
from such mode Of settling disputes, uness requir-
ed 10 respond assault, or defend himself rom
