LATER FROM ST. DOMINGO.
By the arrival of Tee brig Maria, Captain
Stetson; at this port from Foa au Prince. we
have later advices from 81. Domingo. Capt.
Sielson states that by the last accounts from
Aux Caves, the insurgents had marched into
The town and thrown down their arms. No
arrests had followed, but it was thought that
Gen. Reverb would severely punish the lead
ers Of the insurgent army.
This surrender Immediately followed the ar
rival of Reverb from the north, with large
body Of troops. II was reported at Port au
Prince that Reverb had expressed himself
most violently towards the Provisional Gov
eminent. abusing them for their bad manage
ment and folly, stating plainly that he had Ia.
ken up arms for the good of the country, and
that his plans were not to be defeated by their
weakness. This was thought declaration
that he fully intended to be made President.
We are indebted TO Mr.. Martin, Of the Ex-
change, for a copy Of "ie Patriotic" OF the
18th Of August. a French paper published at
Port Republican. We translate from II what
ever il contains Of importance. On the 18th
of August the insurgents had abandoned their
position on the plain Of Aux Cages. and post
cd themselves on the heights Of Esmangard,
when they were surrounded by the patriot
,roops and all communication with the town
and neiphborhood cut oil. OBJECTIONS IN The
ranks were continual. General Herard, the
elder. was 10 has,y return from San Domingo.
Tho result of these movements Is noted above.
Tbis revolution seems 10 have shaken conn.,
denco in the Provisional Government, and the
opipion was much expressed that the people
OF Hayii are not yet ripe for republican gov
ernmen,. The paper before us argues against
this feeling with much force, and earnestly ad-
voca,es the necessity OF democratic ruie' IL
saws that for 40 years no tyranny has taken
roo, at Hayti; and that TO ALLEVIATE lis liberty
now. would be 10 enslave II again. Several
decrees of the Provisional Government oil some
imnortance are published in this paper. One
of them divides the territory OF The Republic
into six departments, the department OF The
South. of the West, of the AHibonlie, OF The
north of Cibao, and Of OzaRa. Each de-
pa,,men, ia subdivded into canions, according
