city, we have a more connected account OF the
ate plot to overthrow the existing Imperial Gov
eminent Of Bayti and TO reestablis1 the hepuo-
lie In the first place, the cOnsprators were
blacks and not mulattOes. Ii appears that seve-
raj extensive robberies had occurred at Port au
Prince and Cape Hsyten, and the Government
was convinced that these robberles had some
thing 70 do With a political movement. Among
others. the Government Treasury was robbed of
a large amount. OF course the police there were
wide awake TO catch the perpetrators of these ex-
tensiye and successful robberies Ii appears, &C
cording to the accounts that on certain night,
Of the soders was robbed OF his shrt. de
stopped a man whom he suspected OF the rob-
berry, and instead Of finding the stolen article,
found a large sum OF money. The prisoner Of
fered his captor a considerable amount 20 let him
go, but the officer Of the guard hearing the noise
came out
The prisoner had then two men to bribe and
while he was about it, the police, who were not
far off came up. Some reasons led them to sup
pose that the officer of the guard had part 1.-THE
money which the prisoner had had in his posses
sion. and he also was arrested, In searching bis
residence documents were discovered, which
brought 10 light the whole 0nspiracy. Ii extend
ed all over the Island, and many leading blacks
were implicated In addition to the arrest OF q
large number at Port az. Prince, including one or
two of the Ministry, about one hundred were ar
rested at Cape Hayden, including several in
Office; also the Commsssry of Police at Gonalvea.
At or near the capital, the Minister OF Public Jas
tice and several of his fellow conspirators have
been shot; also several of those arrested at Cape
Rayten. IL is supposed tha. many more would
suffer the penalty of death.
Relative to the demand made by Com. Parker
of the Saranac for damages for the illegal I'M
urisonment Of Capt. Mayo Of the Leander, we
earn that the Haytien Government Informed him
in substance that they were willing to pay Capt.
ion, bue eff N TIU
cum demanded for the detention oil the vessel.
This answer Com. Porter will report TO the al
thorities at Washington.
We hear that the Hsytien Government refuses
TO psv the claims-tO large amount and OF long
staDdipg-in favor OF American merchants, to
which Mr. Green, and more lately Mr.. Walsh
has been deputised 20 call their attention.
Mr.. Walsh the American Commissioned has
left the capital in the steamer Water Witch tor
other parts of the Island. What was the result
Of his negotiations in conjunction with the French
and EAeish Consus to indace S0Ouque 70 settle
the Quarrel between the Hsytiens and Domlnl-
canp is not certainly known, but the story Is tna'
the project has entirely failed IL was the gene
raj opinion that Soouque was never more power
ful in the Island than at the present moment de
exhibits great ssgacity in all his movements
