LATER FROM HAYTI.-The foreign consu.s at
Hayu arc at serious issue with the black Emperor
Solouque the question of the subjug CATION of the
eartern part of the island, occupied by the Do
minicaus, who have now for a considerable num-
bcr of years maintained an independent govern
ment The dearest wish of his black majesty is to
conquer these Dominicans, and thus bring the
tire Island under his rule. For some time past
threats have been mndc by the English and French
consuls (and il has been heretofore stated that tn
government acted with England and France in the
matter) that they will blockade ali the ports Of
the island if Solouque recommenccs hostities. Up
TO this time Solouque has evaded giving any such
promise. Taking advantage of the presence of mn
unusually large number of French and English
men Of war in the Haytien waters, these consuls
lately proceeded to Gonaivee, where they met the
emperor, who was tour through the island at
the head of about four thousand men,

"Thc emperor has just gone through this place
ON his return from the Cape. The foreign consuls
arc determined to have the question OF the Spanish
part settled, and we think they will gain their
point. AT frat, indeed, it their intention to
bring affairs 10 a settlement here five men OF war
having been in port at one tmc-threo English
and two french--but it appears letter having
been received from the Minister OF War promising
satisfactory arrangement in Port au Prince, in
duced them to wait The affair, however, must
b come serious should the Ilaytcn authorities not
keep their word Our ports will be blockadCd, and
those living on shore will be the sufferers"
The emperor probably reached Port Prince
on the l2,h, and all the Of war had sailed for
that place TO obtain his answer. Opinions are va
rious as to ths'probablity Of his conseniug to the
demands made upon him. Many think that he
will be obslinate. Boston Traveller 3OM uu
