x Jamaica papers say that the outrage COM
mitted by the rebels against the Hayden gov
eminent, and on the flag of England, is one
that will ensure the leaders punishment such
as they little thought would be realized.
The U. S. steamer De Sofa had arrived with
36 refugees from Cape Haytien, among them
the consuls of Prussia and Hamburg, and
sailed again, carrying some of them back to
Cape Haytien, including the Prussian consul.
Gen. Salvane, the rebel leader, was among
the persons killed at Cape Haytien by the
shots of the Bull Dog. Particulars of the
affair say some kind of compact was entered
into by The captain OF the Bull Dog and Presi-
dent Je6rard, who had three steamers of war
under his command. The understanding be-
ing that the Bull Dog should be supported in
obtaining redress for firing into the steamer
Jamaica Packet, in the small harbor near
Cape Haytien, by the rebel steamer Valdroque.
The Bull Dog ordered the Voldroque to desist,
when her captain reported the matter to Sal
vane, who forcibly removed all the Haytien
refugees from the British consulate. The Bull
Dog entered the harbor of Cape Haytien,
closely followed by a Haytien steamer She
steered towards the Valdroque with the inten-
ton of running her down, but grounded. Her
guns were however ranged on the Valdroque,
which was sunk in three minutes. She then
opened fire on shore. The arsenal was blown
up, and all the forts quickly silenced and dis
mantled. sts ist. o.
1t being impossible to get the Bull Dog off,
she was abandoned and blown up.
A severe shock of an earthquake was felt at
Kingston ON the 31st ult. ~ y4

Lily had also sailed for Cape Haytien.

leaders of the Instruction, is to be handed
over to the Haytien government. 4yerr
