Interesting News from Hayti.

For two months past, we have carefully prepared
our readers for the action Of Faustin OF lyti upon
the Spanish population. Private adyices from the
island give Us assurances that we have not been ia
error, in anticipating a terrible onslaught upon the
Domnicans, at the hands of this vulgar and foolish
rs well as hood,hiIsty negro, whose whole life
has been series Of tcrrors 20 the people around
Inn. lie is now vigorously pushing on his pre-
paratons, on a somewhat formidable scale for such
fellow, with view, al the earliest opportunity,
70 make his descent upon that population which is
The only blessing of the island, intent upon ex,er-
mInating the whites from The face of the territory
He now only awaits the arrival of the war steamer
from England, and the brig contracted for with
Mcssrs. b. c. Clark q Co., Of Boston, to com
mence his iEdiscrimiUaie massacre. When these
arrive, the black eagles and grey eagles, Of negro
noiofcty, vii, be at his service, even though they
supplied by the intelligent white merchants Of
intelligent white people. Money is the god
which many men adore, and to gain It they would
aid SATAN a. anst the angels.
Mr.. J =. Couthuoy, further learn. will visit
Washington, as Minister plenipotcntiary of his
Ilaytien mightintss. The ostcnsible purpose Of
this movement is TO arrange for the 81 tliement Of
ale American claims on Hayti-hut this is not the
real object The squad Soulouque only desires TO
procrasuHG,e, and 10 keep our government from
enforcing the payment due to Ne, because. at such
a time, IL would seriously interfere with the sue
cess Of his expedition against the eastern end of the
island which Is destined uni So speedily protected,
o. utter destruction. The Mr.. Couthuoy, seat TO
Washington, is the agent, il Is said, oC Messrs i.
&. Clark \ Co, They are, it appears, the agents
who have contracted with Faustn 10 supply ships
ofwar and supplies Tor this expedition and 1t IL
quite natural that this eminent indSidHal-who
was last heard Of in the Exploring Expedition
through Cs.tsin Wilkes-should interfere 90 pre-
vent the nforcement Of our claims llayi The
Toston merchants, undoubtedly, want their bills
for ships and supplies paid first, and then, il any
thing mains in the black Emperor treasury, the
United states government may get ~, II they can.
This is c1cccn, modern patriotism, founded upon
Ioty commercial principles.
Now. in Tie face Of this whole scheme Of slaugh.
ter end speculation, we think we have yirtue
enough in both houses Of Congress TO meet thus
sulicci. independent e all party suggestions. We
do not believe that this government are disposed TO
aid a power with which we have no intercourse BY
treaty, by relncuishHg the enforcement OF our
cla;ms-and THE. too. 70 establish aud extend over
the white reputation lIay'i the sway Of stupid
srd brutal iyTau;, whose course b. guided only by
tie guyir e most unreasonable passions and prcju
6ccs. We sincerely Trust that Congress VII op-
posc the raus Of this miserable apology for royalty,
and that our claim. will be pressed az the lannon's
mouth. no, only for our Just dues, bat for the sal
walton q the Dominicans, who are now down
troddcn and oppressed by this obi Of nations
Something mus { be Gone.
