Affairs I'm POrt-au- Prince-PrObab Sucs
cess OF AalAaYe-A Falaa ReporG.

The Herd,Ps correspondent, writing from
POrt-au-Pnnce on July %, says:--
The state OF affairs here Is still critical pat
General Norml (revolutionist) has lett tue
Light House with his whole army, constituting
one.third of the revolutionary forces The
Government here is very confident. The Presl-
dent charges the British Charge dAhaires as
the author OF the rebellion, and considers
British intervention as the cause OF the present
conoit1on OF the country. The American Minis
ter has observed the strictest rule OF non-inter'
vention, giving, with Admiral Hof, Commodore
BOggs, and Captain Eastman, such moral sup
port as is usual IN such cases. Jacmei Is sur.
uLded by the Government troops and VIII
soon be retaken. Tue common people are loyal
to the President If left to themselves.
The story reported in the Kingston papers that
the refugees had all been turned out OF the Ame-
rican Cons ulate is a wicked falsehood, which the
author has been obliged to apologize for. The
American flag has covered for many weeks two
hundred per, ons, and they have all been fed by
the Americans. Neither of the other po ReTs have
furnished any food to refugees. 1t was political
ialsehoUd got up for filibusteTing purposes.
The United States ship De Soto, Commodore
Boggs, arrived at this port on the morning of
the 22d inst from Key West, and left on the
morning OF the 26th for Asoinwall. The Presl-
dent requested Commodore Boggs and his
officers in company with the American Mtnls-
ter, 10 visit him at the Palace. They we're very
Hospitality entertained. She was visited by the
President the next day. He was received with
a salute Of twenty. .one guns on his arrival, and
twenty one guns on his departure, and the yards
his visit to the Soto. This SHIP carried the
President during former revoluuon from
Cape Haytlen to Turks Island, when he mad
been sheed out of the principal fort
at the Cape by the British man-ot- var Bulldog.
When the Commodore pointed out TO him his
former apartments IN the ship his eyes filed
with tears, and he SAID there was no occasion
for showing them to him as he should remember
them 10 the last hour OF his life. The Comno-
dore presented him with han 1sOme Remington
pistol, with his own named marked upon it.
General Chevallier holds possession of Co
naives with a large force. He is very Yallaut
and handsom old gentleman of siXty-dve. He
was educated 10 the best schools OF PARIS, and
was there concerned in the revolution OF 1880.
Aside from his qualifications as a scholar he
possesses great powers of eloquence, and Is
devoted to the President and the American
republic.
The Galatea disclosure is the theme of the
| hour. Three persons have robbed the Govern
ment OF 9l,700 Spanish dollars put into their
hands for the repair OF the SHIP. They have the
money, and the ship is supposed to be in New
York, One OF them, General La Roche, is iu
| prison and in irons The President says he
shall make him pay the whole defalcatlon or
shoot him. He regards La Roche as the respon-
stbio ondoreer of n bill of exchange, and says
| that he must pursue the other parties at his
| leisure. As the General is worth million of
| gold dollars # is thought he will accept the
proposition.
The general impression of well informed peo-
pie here Is that Salnave will succeed in the end
| He is man OF the most determined character
aud says he never will give it up, out will nght
| as long as there is life IN him.
