are OF the 7fh inst. From private correspondence,
we have confirmation Of the fact. already published
in the Herald, OF revolution having broken out in
the part Of the island under the dominion of the
negroes Il sppears that the great expedition which
had been so long preparing against the Domncans,
by President PieHot, was not generally popular |:
probably there was jealousy that these great forces
would be used as means OF increasing the power
OF Pierrot, and OF adding strength to despotism
already great. Be this as it may, just when the
expedition was preparing to be put IN motion, and
the troops from various quarters had received orders
10 concentrate at the point from whence IT was to
march, the troops under the command OF General
ST. Louis refused 10 obey. The many disasters
which have happened to the Haytien troops in this
war, and the uniform succession OF defeats which
has followed every encounter with the Dominlcans,
very probably rendered the troops fearful and un-
willing to meet any more an enemy who beat them
every time they fought together. This s very likely,
as il is Characteristic OF the black race, to be as
pusillanmous and cowardly in failure, as they are
ooastful and naughty In success
Our accounts 90 TO state that the troops, having
refused to obey the orders to march, then broke
out into open mutiny and revolution. deputation
from the army was despatched to Gen. Rlche. at
Port au Prince, to call upon him to take uPsn him
self the Presidency, and to depose President Plerrot
Thus, It will appear that the black government Is
pure military desposm, and that the chietain who
rules over this people, is the soldier, whoever ne
select for that office! Such state OF things does
not deserve the name Of civil or civilized govern
ment.
On receiving these offers, General Richie, after
some preliminary hesitation, and after other depua-
tlons from the troops other quarters had joined in
the same demand, consented to place himself at the
head o the insurgents; and as the rst step IN the
deposition OF the tyrant Pierrot, published mani
festo addressed to the army and people, IN which he
declared himself President. The accounts, subse-
quent to this event, contradictory, and await
daily the receipt OF intelligence which may be relied
upon. One account represents President Pierrot
adv he llU n;
Rlche, with considerable body OF faithful troops /;
other accounts say that Pierrot has abandoned the
field, and peaceably resigned his high Office TO
to Richie. He will not leave many regrets behind,
for he never was popular, and his course and con-
duct has been self-conceted, tyrannical and mperi
GUS. Should he succeed in leading any troops
against Richie, there is every reason to believe
they would abandon his cause at the first encounter
The new and elfcreated President Richie, Is
black, about 10 years OF age. During the reign OF
the black Emperor Chrlstophe, Richie was made
baron by his black Imperial Majesty, and command
ed the guard at the time OF his death.
