The New York Hfrd'd s correspondent, writing
from Kingston, Jamaica, July 80, says:-

been unable to there unload their cargoes.
The next news from Port au Prince is to the
25tb, brought by her Britannia Majesty's steamer
Mulet, which arrived at Port Royal on the
evening OF the 2sth. Early on the morning OF
July 23 General Normil Quilted his porIon OF
the insurgents lines around Port au Prince,

there the same evening. The place was and has
been for some time in the possession of the reac-
tlonists, or interior partlsaus OF Salnave. These
Nornil attacked at once, and after long and
desperately contested engagement he remained
master of the field aud of the town. The loss
was heavy on both sides. In his abandonment
OF Carieiours Normll had to leave behind three
pieces OF artillery for want of transportation;
The cannon were spiked and other wise rendered
unservceaole. The same day Salnave's forces
occupied Carrefours, and OF course found the
spiked guns. hieDly self laudatory and bom-
basic proclamation was thereupon published
by his sable EXcellency, informing the people
of Hayti in particular and mankind in general
what mighty trophies had been captured by his
army. On the same day (July 23) Salnave, en-
bolGened by his reoccupation OF CarretouIs, made
an attack upon the po o-itloEs of General Faubert

the assault in person. Defeat, and not
success as he anticipated, was his re ward
