ROWAN CATHOLICS IN HoLLAND.-Ne Pc
riodical inthis country has slandered Catho.
lies % systematically as the New York Oh
server. Its pabulum, vitality-very exist
ence would seem to depend upon the unre-
mitted misrepresentation of every thing be-
longing to our holy religion. This being
borne in mind, the significance of the follow
ing statement, made by the Rev. Charles
Rockwell, in its columns, cannot fail to make
due impression. The feeble attempt to ex-
plain away stubborn facts need not be dwelt
upon:
There is no part of Europe where the
early Protestants SO long and earnestly.
and with SO much suffering from war
and and t s ths
Church as Holland and the Netherlands.
Holland was also, for a long time, the chosen
asylum and home Of persecuted Profess
tant refugees and exiles from England,
Scotland, and other parts of Europe. The
Pilgrim Fathers of New England, too, came
from Holland in their first emigration here,
leaving behind them Mr.. Robinson, their
great leader and head, and many Of their
| brethren; some of whose descendants, with
genuine English names, are, l think, to be
| (Dutch) Church of America. In view of the
facts stated above, was much surprised to
learn from an intelligent and well educated
Roman Catholic priest, asnative of Holland,
that there are now in/that country more
Roman Catholics than Protestants. This
state of things he accounted for mainly by
the fact that each year five or six thousand
young men who are PrOtestants leave Hol-
land to hold Offices under government,
mainly in foreign settlements belonging to
the Dutch, mostly in the East Indies. As
4 these young men go forth unmarried, and
die abroad, commonly at an early age, it is
a very serious drawback on the increase of
the Protestant population in Holland as
compared with that of the Roman Catholics.
Having stated these facts to a secretary of
one of the boards of the Reformed Church,
who is well informed as to such matters, he
gave as an additional reason for this state
Of things that about $1,000 Protestants had
emigrated from Holland to the United States
within few years, where they formed sew
eral enterprising and prosperous commune
ties. IF TIE general statement made abov"
can be shown to be incorrect, the writer,
with many others, would like to be informed
of the fact. What has here been said
has an important bearing on the statement
of those who claim that there will, before q
long time, be more Roman Catholics than
Protestants in some of the New England
States, owing to the large immigration
there, and the much more numerous births
from Roman Catholics than from Protestant
parents.

We sat beneath the maple troe.

While DER US fell the golden glow
From out the western sky.
She still was in the morn Of life,
Though she had known lies care;
Its spring time glowed within her heart

While was past the noon of yeara,
Deep shadows in my eyss-
Still longing for the better time
That in the future lies.
We watched the fall of yellow leaves
That Auttered down like birds.

NEWS FROM HAYTI.

By the arrival of the Barque Uruguay" from
st. Mares, news to the llth instant has reached
us, from this department, for which We are in
dehted to MessrS. Nunes, Bros, the conSignees
of the vessel. 1t appears that the Uruguay"
was in the harbour Of st. Mares taking in pro-
duce, when Salnave, at the head Of his army,
entered the town, and a general stampede oc-
cured. The parties who were loading the yes
sci fled to the suburbs, and left everything to
the mercy of the beSiegers. There was sufficient
produce in the warehouses to load sixteen ships,
the whole of which fell into the possession of
Salnaye. The "Uruguay' had only partially
taken in the cargo, and was compelled to weigh
anchor and leave the port, lest the vessel should
fall into the hands of the Presidents party.
The town of St. Marc was in the hands of the

The following amendment had been proposed
by the Governor
OF the sum of $3.50 proposed as contribution
towards the repairs of Country Roads an
amount of SIC. 10 to be applied in aid of the
repairs to the Bridge at the Williams Estate.
The Governor stated, that it is expected that
the amount of $3.50 posted sub No 2 in the
Money-Bill for repairs Of the pavement at
KingShill's and Cornhill's Gutter will not all
be required for those two works, but an amount
of SIG. 10 had been expended by the Quarter
officer in NOrthside Letter A, with the approval
of Government, to assist with ONE extra-wOrk
during the very considerable repairs to the
Bridge at the Estate William, which had been
destroyed by the flood on the 18th November
last year but been lately rebuilt with much
outlay in money and labor for the Estates in the
Quarter; therefore he proposed that this
amount be betrayed from whatever may remain
of the amount sub No. 2. An application had
very recently been made to him for some pc
ouniary aid from the public funds to assist in
laying a new street in the part of this Town
called Watergut, so that the conveyance of
, 1868-10-09

woods in all directions Salnave had caused
the greater part of the produce to be burned.
The above is briefly what we have been ena-
bled to gather. ST. Mare is the stronghold OF
the inSurrectionary party and WI h the laIl OF
the town, the rebel cause may be SAID TO nave
received a ia Il blow at the hands OF the Con
stitutional President.
We nave advices from Port-au-Prince to the
9th Sppten Der. President Salnave had issued
several ordinances, DEGREES, notices &c, ol
which we give extracts below
On the 22d August, q notice to the Foreign
and loyal native residents of all houses IN pos
session of the insurgents, was issued, directing
them TO report themselves to the Generals COM
handing the Government troops, who would
afford them protection previous to the c0molned
attack by the Government troops and vessels OF
war.
Another notice issued by the Secretary of
Police, informs the public, that 1t has come to
his kncwltdge, of the circulation OF counterfeit
hundred gourdeS notes in the capital, and that
the police are busy in bringing to justice the
malefactorS, upon whom will be visited the Ut
most ritour of the law.
Holopherne Letont, with sixteen thousand
men before ,Jacmpl, had issued an amnesty pro-
clamation only including the principal rebel
leaders he notifies them that if in three days
the town be not surrendered, he will attack and
take it by force.
The mole st. Nicholas, Gonaives, rArchaie,
Cape and other towns of the north, still con-
tinupd loyal to the legitimate Government.
Massage Saget remains at St. Mare, sending
out a few poor untortunateS to be shot by oa-
nave's troops, which completely surround the
town.
A reaction has takes place at Jeremie, in
favor Of SaInave, but we have not yet heard the
result.
The "Albert Emerson a large American
barque, has been purchased by SalnaVe Tor
Sl6,O 600 and fitted out for the bombardment of
st. Mare.
The Government troops commanded by Gene
raj Vii Lubin, attacked and completely routed
the insurgents under Generals Lynch and Eau
bert, recaptured DrowilIard, Petionville, and
Croix des Bouquete, and at present Port-au-
Prince is relieved from the continued cannona-
ding which has been kept up for months past,
and merchants are now able to open then stores.
Lynch and Faubert escaped by the steamer
Liberte to St. Marc, where it is likely they will
be captured, as the combined attack must have
by this time succeeded in taking the town.
The Caves is entirely surrounded, and there
is every LIKELIHOOD that it has fallen by this.
Amnesty p]roclamations have also been iSsu-
ed by Salnave, and General Vii LuDin, with
the same exceptions Of the rebel leaders.
Every where Salnave and Vii Lubin appear
they carry victory, and have no doubt that
the malcontents, whose only object is selt-ag-
grandisement, having received such a lesson
a lesson no man in Haiti before Salnave, has
been able to give-as will allow the Govern
ment to continue quietly its work of recon
|struction and that this beautiful but hitherto
unfortunate country, will afford a splendid field
to enterprising foreigners for business and
agricultural pursuits.

has rendered it necessary to procure a carriage

amount of remuneration already betrayed for
months of the year, viz S72 besides wages
to the driver for 9 months S27, or altogether
with 500.
An amount of $l96 has been expended for
the purpose Of providing an extra-dinner to the
men of the Garrison and the two Detachments
on His Majesty's Birthday the Sth of April
last which amount is added to the item Gun
certain Expenses
1t must be noticed here, that instead Of the
8 new ponies for the Military Station at Kings
hill, for procuring which $500 were posted in
the Money-Bill, it was found necessary to pro-
cure 4 new ponies for the Station but from
the purchase sum for those 4 ponies, $3.50,
must be deducted the amount gained by the
sale at public Auction of some cashired ponies,
SOS. SO, so that the calculated amount will not
even be altogether expended"
The Governor explained the amendments
agreeable to the Remarks to them and after
some discussion between members Faber,
Christmas, Clindinen, Knight, Stakemann, and
McWilIiam, the a%mendmets were placed to the
vote all under one with the tacit consent of the
Council, and adopted with ~ votes against 4.
