BoMBARDED.-By the arrival Of the brig Echo,
Capt. Rice, from Port-au- Prince we have adyices
down to May 9th.
Several large Spanish war frigates were off Port
au-prince when the Echo sailed threatening to

Tree blacks, to stop any further emigration and
this will probably be the last of Redpath's scheme
OF emigration to hayti.
Commercial affairs were unchanged, and busi-
ness generally was quite dull.
