Of the white man, ms il was generally suppOs-

As we were about climbing down thc broken
rafters iuto the boat, q ictrblaok, lall naked
Hercules seized me by tie arm, and pointed to
q tock Of pine apples n ldch bad Stopped to
look at on iirgt landing. Glad to secure the
deliciousfruit, i Offered him tie money he had
first asked, but he now wanted twice as much
for tho time which he said | Lad kept him
waiting. His affected fury and viblelt ges-
lures at my turning quietly aUay,@drgG Z
crowd Immediately around Us, and, a. there
was some delay in bringing round the boat, lie
had me quite at his mercy. Iroaii, expected,
part gf The time, to be knocked head foremost
intotthc water. in broken English he sWoYe
lC was proud man, too, and "big man, b
aud wasn't going to be kept waiting" and
"whito rascal damn moan, etc. etc. Bot
persistmg in laughing at his claim as Joke, II
finally took the first step to embark, and then
turned aud offered him once more the original
silver. The black faces OF our audience eK-
pressed clearly preference for my side in the
dispute, aud The nakcd-leggod giant gave in.
The two-cloth bag with its twenty pines, was
tossed into the boat with splly look Of deli
aace, his dirty fist took the money instead Of
fulfilling lis threat Of knocking me overheard,
aud so cndCdmy intercourse With the inliabI-
tants Of the Queen Of the Antilles
We were soon under way, gliding smoothly
over the leyeliest Of seas, with leaf-burthcned
mountains looking down temptiugly upon US,
and 1 stayed on deck till We lost the delicious
fragrance from the shore, and could no longer
distinguish tho graceful eurvings Of bay aud
promortory. IL is m Eden to see and inhale
the breath Of this fnir isle--tlough the new
Adam and I've be Of the color least prayed for
in our paradise Regsined." ] shall look to
its coming history with no little interest.
While ! am writing, a New-YorS paper has
come in, continuing tho two following paragraphs,
extracted from Jamaica tOuFual:-- 'f
''Tho Haytlan brig of-Nat Chhrlosie, which ~,
rived az Pprt Royal on Tneslay, saluled tho irit
ish C0Inmodorc's ship arid The FORT, at an early
hour yesterday morning.. lhe comPllmentw4 w4s re-
turned from the Imlaum and the f0Tt, In due form.
Tbs discharge of ordnance at such an carly hour
caused some little excitement to know what was
the cause OF IL, many persons believing that The
Admfal's ship had arrived at Port Royal, aud 9TH
crs, after the firing Of two guns that the steamer
with the mails duo to-day, had come In before her
time. The new Emperor is tteading in the path Of
his filir-fGced Cotcmporarics, and why should he
not have his national ships too:
8 Ihe HayttsH ship Charlotte came up the hHr-
Dor and anchored of the Ordnance wharf ycsler-
day, and Is, we are told, to take on board frOuioh
OF the wharves in this pOTt steam engine, which
has been purchased from some thrown-up estate In
this island by party in this city; for enc Of Elm
perOr SoulOnque's estates In Haytl. Estates have
heretofore been dlsmantled, aud their machinery
sold TO Cuban planters; bat this is the first time
that Hayti has taken advantage Of the depressed
state Of this country to purchase ihrown-np ma
ehluery 10 carry The cultivation Of sugar IN that
island"
