yailing at Miragoane. 1t was alieged ina. ne
bore dispatches from the insurrectlonlsts.
He denied all knowledge Of the nature OF
the letters he bore. The British Embassy
was looking into the affair.
While these things went on in one part OF
the island, bloody events were transpiring
in another. The " Piquets," savage ne
groes, living in the forests and mountains
half naked, armed with wooden lances,
This is the condition of large part OF the
Haytiens, after fifty years of freedom ana
Independence were enlisted by the agents
of SALNAyE and brought among the vii
lagos in possession of the insurrectionlsts,
spreading desolation and death wherever
they appeared. They spared none. They
fight on that side which pays best, and are
always ruthless and barbarous. BAEz, who
owes his elevation in St. Domingo chiefly to
SALSAvE, aided in bringing out the n
ouets.' and gave them Us commander one
TOMAS CHRISTI. -.,.u.,
But large portion Of the Piquets we're
finally encountered by General HECTOR,
with 900 men, and routed. In turn, they
received as little mercy as they had shown.
General HECTOR shot all his prisoners. One
Of them, when about to beshot, said, 81 die
with pleasure, as have killed many aohites
and na,dattoes." Still there were "Piquets I"
on the war-patb, and HEcron had rough
! road yet 70 travel.
In case SALNAvE is victorious, these sa-
| wages, who all want to be noblemen, expect
a division of the dukedoms and earldoms
amongst them. A letter says:
':The commander-in-chief at the cape,
no doubt duke in prospective, is coal
black fiddler, and his colleague at Gonaives,
intended at least for marquis, is tan
barber. With them the sword has replaced
the bow and the soap-lather. If Salnave
triumphs, the worlds nobility is sure to
gain the accession to its ranks of the Due
du Violon and the Marquis DIES Razoires."
SALNAvE has sent an agent to some Anne
rican port where the Haytien war vessel
Galatea has been repaired, with money to
pay for repairs and bring her at once to his
aid.
Of course this is but q Savage and helter-
SHELTER struggle-this Hayti war. 1t is
only remarkable for its brutality-its So
wage revenges and vindictiveness. The
means of war are without uniformity, and
very defective. In short, the whole cha
racter and appointments of the war prove
the savage tendency of the negroes of
Hayti.
The Haytiens are divided into two parties,
the Lizards" and Cacos.' The former
sustain SALNAvE, the latter the insurrec-
ton. The Lizards are the lower classes, if
there are any lower classes in such coun-
try. They are the draymen, laborers, &C.;
and SALNAvE, who is an adroit demagogue,
knows how to please them. On the 9Th,
they paraded the streets and shouted, "ViUe
SALNAvE! ViOe y Empreau!" which SAL
NAVE, with the usual affeotation, discour-
aged, and absolutely threatened to shoot
the next man who uttered the cry! Quite
an improvement on CESAR and RICHARD!
The name Lizard" is interpreted to
mean that there is no position to which
the laborers of Hayti may not aspire, as
lizards climb everywhere, according to
their song:
''Dere is no house
..... De lizard don't lib in 4!
Dere is no tree ....-
De lizard don't climb in -
The other party called themselves "Ca-
CO.'S" after little black parrot who de-
YOURS the lizard as we find in the Cacos'
"De Cacos O. de CacOS, oh
De Cacos eat the lizards, oh -
SALNAvE has the sea open to him for sup
plies, and can hardly be dislodged. The
insurrectionists may be compelled to with
draw for the want of food, as famine has
already appeared in part of the island.
ST. DOMINGO.
From St. Domingo there is less of inte-
rest. The same disorganized condition Of
society noticed in reports for long time
continues.
CABRAL, the former President, is reported
at Banica, and BAEz, the usurper, and CO.
lionel LAMAR, have left Azua to resist him.
Reinforcements are reported as destined
for CABRAL. A manifesto issued by Ca
BRAL alleged that BAEz is the "only obstacle
to the prosperity and happiness of the peo-
"ple of St. Domingo" A great mistake. Put
him out of the way, and new troubles will
appear. The evil is deeper than BAEz. 1t
is in the people. ...
1t was reported that loan of s2,O0O,OOO
had been made by London merchants to
BAEz. Every prison in the capital of St.
Domingo was crowded with the victims of
BAEz. There was naturally no business
doing, and industry, scarce enough in St.
Domingo, was completely disorganized.
Letters say that Samani is not to be sold
to the United States, but is to be made a
free port. e., if BAEz prevails.
