LATE FROM HAYTI-By the schr. Baltimore,
at Philadelphia, the us. Gazette has received
adyices from Hayti which confirm the state
ment made by Us some weeks since, on the
authority Of Kingston papers, that Gen. Guer-
rier had obtained the chief command in the
island. The Baltimore sailedfrom Cape Hay
ten on the 30th ult. While lying there she
was at different times a means of shelter, not
only to the American Consul, Mr.. Usher, but
at one time to as many as two hundred females,
whose lives where in danger during the late
tumuIts. There was also a considerable
amount of property placed on board other for
safety, but the prospect Of returning quiet
caused the Decentralization of both persons and
property.
We have not room for the Gazette's CORES
po~ndence, but may state in brief that Gen.
Guerrier appears TO have established his au-
thority. He was proclaimed President on the
18th Of May. The Government is not, how
ever, TO be a consolidated one, butfederalIike
our own.
The British frlgate Spartan arrived at the
Cape on the 26th from Port-au-Prince, where
all was quiet on the 23d. when she left. The
ex-President has been ordered to leave the is
land, and his kinsmaH, Herafd Dumesle, late
President Of the Constituent Assembly, has
also been baniShed, and they are to retire to

ued Submissive to the Government of Guer-
rier; and no new expedition is, at present, de-
against the Dominicans, by whom He
rard's troops were severely beaten. Both men
and horses are4said to have suffered extreme
Iy on the return march, from hunger, naked
ness, disease and vermin.
TIL u. S.. sloop Prebte had been at Aux
and when the Spartan left was daily
expected at Port-au-Prlnce. The French force

B~uRcLARY.-On the night from Wednesday
TO Thursday, the store Of Messrs. J. g. d. F..
Phillips Of this town was broken open. The
burglar opened one IF the back windows with
n erow-bar; nothing was stolen except a spare
key for the front door. The adventurer was
in search of money, not bacon llal0s CT he
would have stole some. Msssrs. p. having
the prudence to leave less Of the former than
the latter in their store at night. We hope,
however, the light-fngered gentry will be

n~exation of Texas, for we are sure they are
better suited for that aisle Of Patmos" than
they are for our quiet and orderly community.
