INCIDENTS OF THE HAYTIEN REVOLUTION

The Boston Courier gives the following extracts
from letter to gentleman in that city, dated
Aux Cages, March 90. From these it appears
that the revolution was stoully resisted in that
city:
81 arrived here March 3, and was much sur
prised, on landing, to find the place full oftroops
the bridges around the town all destroyed, and
barricades thrown up to prevent the insurgents
from entering. The black general, in command
here, determined to defend his post to the last
1t is related of him that, twenty eight years ago,
he was one of Christophe's commanders, and OF
most biood-thirsty CHARACTERIZATION Christophe
gave notice of his determination to destroy all
the mulattoes on the island, this general who had
mulatto wife and three children, went home,
shot his wife, and dashed all his children's brains
out. He then went to the King and informed him
of what he had done, and Christophe, enraged at
the recital of such horrid crime, struck out one
of the murderer's eyes with his cane. Y OH may
imagine what the people felt at having such a
commander.
The troops were deserving, so that in week
we had more than 400 out $4,000 left, when
one division of the besieging army marched into
The town, and were joined by all the Government
troops. Two days afterwards, the remainder of
the army came in, making about 5000 in all, hut
they were very orderly and quiet. In tho mean
time, Col. Touro, who commanded the arsenal,
had threatened to blow it up before he would sur
render. This alarmed the inhabitants, and about
two-thirds of them deserted the place. He kept
the town in this state for two days, and about
seven o'clock on the second day, seated himself
in the magazine with powder strewed all around
him, and applied the MATCH The explosion was
tremendous. The arsenal was nearly in the cen.
tire of the town. and nearly all the doors and win
dove within 600 yards were thrown open, and
some stones weighing 200 pounds were thrown
500 feet. The arsenal and fifteen other buildings
were burnt, but the wind luckily blowing toward
the water, the flames were stopped.
