Extract from letter received in this city dated
PoRT-Au-PRNcE, HAITI, Jan. /, 1874

"The great falling off of American trade with this
part Of the island, is probably owing to the impov
erished condition Of the people, caused by the con-
tinued civil wars which have drawn nearly all the
producing classes into the army, and which, it is
come.
"The French consul-general, Mr.. Levasseur, in
consequence of offensive letter received from
President Perot, relating to some disputed claims
upon the Haytien government, has demanded his
passports, and left the island the 3lst December,
which offence, it is feared; may result in collision
of the two powers"
