the Political Sntirist Of that port, the former Of the
3lst ultno, and the latter Of the Sd instant.
The Saiirist states that Mr.. M Gcachy had ad

Mosquitian king has, since his return home from
holding every thing with no common share Of im-

he saw, and the good treatment which he received
whilst among us--at the same time positively re-
fusing to live on his corned turtle three times a
day before! We, however, expected something
Of the kind, and thought him quite out Of his ele-
mept when we saw parties carrying him from place
lies, &C., keeping up late hours, and going to bed
top-heavy from the effects of iced champagne. Poor
boy! he must have thought himself in q new world;

rather strange sayings and doings of this indvid-

possessed of three millions Of Yankee tim, it will
not avail him if he continues 70 pursue the same
line of conduct towards those whom he may en-

The following picture of the condition TO which
the merchants reduced in the Island of Hayti,
and of the incendarism that RACES wild there, is
given by the Saiirist, warning to the possible
future fate of the whites in Jamaica, If certain per-

of Hayti A fire, which has destroyed almost every
house in the town, has occurred either at Porte
Prince Jacnel and is said to be an act Of incen-

he paid q license of eighteen hundred dollars, as
heretofore; or on any foreign clerk, unless he paid
thousand dollars. This had, 10 be expected,
given great dissatisfaction TO all foreign merchants
