INTERESTING FROM HAYrI.-We have received
our regular files of papers from Port au Prince.
LIE Manifests, of the LIST instant, communicates
the information that the brig Independence, which
had been purchased by the government, has been
pronounced unseaworthy. She set sail a short
time before, and after being out only few days,
was obliged to put back, being halt filled with
water. The engineers, on examining her, pro-
nounced her to be unfit for service. 1t is affirmed
that the brig Was known to be unfit for service
long before the Hayden government purchased
her. The journals make great complaints at the
alleged fraud practised.
The same journal relates that il has been advised
that the Spanish fleet which left Cuba, supposed to
be destined for Dominica, to assist the Dominicans,
was only intended to transport troops and stores to
Porto Rico, where, IT is said, symptoms OF revolt
had manifested themselves. Having landed the
troops on board, Porto Rico the journal proceeds
the to the north Of Hayt in order to protec the
Spanish flag, which, it was thought, was in danger,

Hayti and the insurgents OF the East-that is, the

Upon the rumor OF the intention Of the Spanish
government going to take Dominica, and take up
the cause of the Dominicans, the journal speaks

From THE WREcKs.-The pilot boat Blossom ar
rived here yesterday, having on board the body OF
Mr. Freedom, the noble pilot who was lost with the
John Mnturn She brought up the bodies Of eight
others, unknown.
The services of the generous and humane men
belonging to the Blossom gratuitously tender
ed to those who had friends on the beach, and offer
ed every assistance in order to recover the missing
bodies. 1t is understood that Mr.. Freedoms fune-
ral Twill take place tomorrow.
The bodies OF Capt. Stark, lady, daughter and
son, with number Of others, were brought to the
city yesterday, in the steamboat Transport, from
South Amboy.
HUMANITY IN NEW JERsEY.-It appears that those
who had lost friends the late gale the coast of
New Jersey, were compelled to pay ten dollars for
each body cast lifeess Squan Beach, to the local
authorities in that vicinity is really to be hoped
that none of those who thus extor money, will ever
be wrecked on their own shores 1t would be diff
cult to tell what would become of their clothes and
money, to say nothing Of their souls.
