The Plot to Overthrow tho Empire OF
Hayti.

by later advlce6 from Hay, received In this CITY,
we have more connected account Of the late plot
to overthrow the existing imperial government of
Hayti and to establish the republic. In the first
place, the conspirators were blacks and not mu-
lattoes. II appears that several extensive robbie
ries had occurred at Port au Prince and Cape Hay
ticn, and the government was convinced that these
robberies had something to do with a political
movement. Among others, the government trea-
police there were wide awake to catch the perpe-
traitors of these extensive and successful robbcries
1t appears, according to the accounts, that on
certain night of the soldiers robbed of his
shirt. He stopped man whom he suspected Of the
robbery. and, instead Of finding the stolen article,
found large sum of money The prisoner offered
his cnptor a considerable amount to let him go, but
the officer Of the guard hearing the noise out.
The prisoner had then two men to bride, and while
he was about it the police. who were not far OF,
came up. Some reasons led them to suppose that
the officer OF the guard had part of the money
which the prisoner had had in his possession, and he
also arrested. In searching his residence docu
ments were discovered which brought to light the
whole conspiracy. 1t extended all over the Island,
dition TO the arrest of large number at Port
Prince, including one or two Of the ministry, about
one hundred were arrested at Cape Haytien, in
GLIDING several in office also, the commissary of
lister of public justice and several OF his fellow
spirators have been shot; also several of those
rested at Cape Haytien. It is supposed that many
more would suffar the penalty OF death.
Relative to the demand made by Commodore
Parker, Of the Saranac, for damages for the illegal
imprisonment of Captain Mayo, OF the Leander, we
learn that the Hayden government informed him
in substance that they were willing to pay Cap
tain Mayo some compensation, but refused to give
the sum demanded for the detention of the vessel.
This answer Commodore Porter will report to the
authorities at Washington.
We hear that the Haytien government refuses to
pay the caims-to large amount and OF long
standng-in favor of American merchants, to
which Mr.; Green. and more latterly MIR. Walsh
Mr.. Walsh. the American commissioner, has
left tho capital, in the steamer Water Witch, for
other parts OF the island. What was the result of
his gotiaions, in conjunction with the French and
English consuls, to induce Soulouque to settle the
quarrel between the Haytiens and Dominicans, is
not certainly known, but the story is that the pro-
ject has entirely failed. It was the general opin
ion that Soulouque was never more powerful in the
island than at the present moment. He exhibits
great sagacisy in all his movements

States and escape the vigilance of the Government,
we hope that those engaged in il will not, in
of being vanquished by the Cuban authorities, ask
the interpretation Of our Government to save them
from northumberland that no efforts will be made
to enlist public sympathy in their behalf. They
will engage in the hazardous enterprise warned
and fully aware Of consequences, and with a full
knowledge that they have wantonly violated the
laws Of the Union, and hence will deserve no COM
misscration or clemency in case of failure. The
object in invading Cuba is not to extend free prin-
ciplcs of government, but to obtain plumber l. is
private enterprise for individual account, under
taken in opposition to law, and those who may be
engaged in il should be left to endure all the evils
which may result from their disregard of the laws
