JAMAICA AND HAYTI.-Accoun,s were received
at New Orleans from Kingston, TO the 9th ult.
Fears were entertained that revolt among the
black and brown inhabitants would break out the
let OF August, and transport WAS taking troops to
the north side of the island where the nsurrection
WAS expected TO commence
Santa Anna still residing with his family, about
two miles from Kingston.
The browns were arriving in large numbers from
the south ports of St. Domingo, most Of them in
state of desttution.
The schooner Mary Chiffon, Captain Fales arrived
at Kingston from Jeremie, with twenty-five passeu-
gers. The state of things in that place most de-
plorable. The passengers who arrived in this vessel
had t appears been prescribed for length OF time,
and with several others who have not come here,
but perhaps shot by this time had succeeded in
getting board a vessel for the purpose Of making
their escape from the country but the President
having arrived at Jeremie and succeeded by some
means in restoring confidence in them, they again
returned on shore, subsequently body of noun
taneers came into the town and that these
individuals should be put to deatha request which
the President seemed anxious to comply with, rhe
who have arrived hearing this cruel deter
mination to take their lives succeeded second time
in escaping on board the Mary Chiffon, and, through
the humanity Of the captain are now in land where
life and liberty are secure. The country people had
sacked the town and plundered it; and men of pro-
perty, whether white, black, brown English or
American may In moment be deprived of their pro-
pcrty and their existence.
The day previous to the sailing of the vessel the
general and colonel of the regiment stationed at ere
mic had been arrested, and to be shot the day
after shelef The French Consul had been denou need
and there is American Consul in that place. and 1t
Ii earnestly sOclteu Dy some OF the most respectable
merchants that some assistance could be sent to
them We learn tina. the captain intends returning
there to bring away any of the other distressed per-
who may desire to themselves from the blood
thirsty actions of their lawless opponents.
Letters have been received by the packet from Porte
auPrince Of the 18TH and Jacmel of the 14th instant
From the latter place they write that many respecta
bic persons had been arrested and cast into prison,
and some of them into irons. The general comma nd
ing the aIrondissnent district who lately acted
praiseworthy part in staying the pilage with which
Jacmel was threatened few days before the calling
in of the last packet has been removed by the Presi
dent for doing his duty.
At Porte aufrince everything was pretty tranquil,
but the prisons were filed with political Offenders
many Of whom, it is thought would be shot the
turn of the President to the capital from his tour
through the southern part of the republic.
The President appears to take very efectual mode
Of getting rid Of those who may be obnoxious to him.
by wnking at the acts of his satellites who have been
cresting alarm in their different localities, and by de-
priving of their rights citizens all those who have
left the country to the lives Of themselves and
families. We observe in of their arretes" which
we have received long list Of those who have been
outawed,-among them is the of NJ. Dupuis, late
NJ mister Of State.
