The Irtbune's correspondent, writing from

The star Of Salnave is once more more In the
favor has been developing itself within the last
two or three weeks, even In those places where
comtilure of the Rebels is only now q question of
time, AS to the long threatened attack upon
Port.auP Prince, 1t has not yet been made, nor is
il likely that IL will ever take place.
The reaction commenced at Jacmel, and has
spread with great rapidity throughout the
whole of the South, with the exception of some
of the large towns, where the revolutionists
have found their principal support; but these
soon yield to the powerful tide which has set
in in favor OF the Government, thus leaving

favorable for the Government, and moer
of dispatches OF the Rebel chiefs which have
rails show that in that quarter. as we'll as In the
South, the insurgents are in the most
defpsie defeeiions i' from their % ranks and to

dressed TO the people and the army OF Hayu, re-
viewing the circumstances under which his
election to the Presidency of the Republic took
place, and vindicating the course he has pur-
sued since his accession to power.
This address, taken In connection with other
facts OF his recent history, show Salnave to be
deeply imbued with Republican principles,
and the fact that he is so, will sufficiently eX-
plain the sympathy that Is felt for him by
Americans here, as well as the very cordial re-
lationB that exist at present between the Hay
tien Government and the American Minister
at this place. Foreigners, who are Jealous OF
Mr. HOLSTERS influence with the President of
Hayti have caused seve raj gross misrepreseu-
tations Of the Minister'S conduct during the
present crisis to be published In the Jamaica
newspapers, charging him, among other things,
with having heaTtlessly refused the shelter oi
the United States Consulate at this place To
political refugees. But this is not true. At first

Consu ate and IL would still be afforded In any

United States Is on terms of cordial friendship p
III policy pursued by Mr.. HOLSTER strikes us
as q very prudent one, presenting quite con.

of certain passages OF his history, this Is certain

the effect of preventing in the future the repeti

the progress OF this country In civilization ant
