KINGSTON, ia, Sept. Is, 1859.
BY the arrival OF her Majesty's gunboat vestal
at Port Royal yesterday I'm three days from Port au
Prince, we have intelligence to the 18th inst.
The rumor that President Salnave had been NOR
tally wounded at Aux Cages proves to have been
false. he arrived at the capital the 9th inst,
with escort OF dragons, his return having been
fastened by the intelligence which had reached him
Of disturbances there, consequent on the arrival
Of victorin Chevalier, with his troops, from Go.
naives. II Is quite possible Sanave was wounded;
but the injuries he sustained were not serious
On his arrival his first efforts were to establish
new Cabinet, nearly the whole or the old Ministry
having rendered their designations Some OF them
were shot by order OF the President. The new Cabi.
net IS as follows:-Mnster Of Interior, Lamy Duval
retained; OF War, General Victorin Chevalier; OF
Finance and Commerce, Models st. Arnaud, OF
Justice and Foreign Relations, d. Daborte; OF Police,
NJ. Hyppollte, cadet retained. The government OF
Salnaye does not appear to be discouraged by the
loss OF Gonaives and Aquin. On the contrary,
1t seems more tenacious OF power than ever
before and tsIcOnfdence Is streng hened by expec-
tatlon OF the daily arrival OF the gunboat Algonquin
and the iron-cad steamer Atlanta, both OF which
ment by Mr.. La Roche, Haytlen Minister at WASH
ingon; and these on their arrival will be sent to
gage the revolutionary steamers Florida and quaker
City, The two vessels OF the government 1.-THE Alex
andre Potion and Salnaye) having been repaired
left Port au Prince on the 9th inst. aud sailed in q
northery direction, with instructions TO attack any
or the revolutionary steamers they happen TO fall lin
with In their cruise. They had board some OF the
best most tried and determined Of Salnave's army
who lett with feelings OF the greatest confidence In
the success of their mission OF retribution,
Preparations being made for another attack
upon the town or Aux Cages, whittier Salnaye will
return and assume command in person.
ON the 18th instant tue President made tour OF
the city Of Port au Prince and inspected the various
forts and fortifcatoDs accompanied by his aid-de-
camp and the Chief or Police, and Notwithstanding
the generally gloomy aspect OF AFFAIRS the enthusl-
aSm or his army was never greater. BY his energy
and determination he has secured a hold upon the
people, who look upon him as q brave soldier.
Information had reached the capital of the capture
by one OF the revolutionary steamers or gunboat
laden with war materials and provisions The
steamers Quaker City and Clara Helena were at st.
Mares.
Mr. Byron, Her Britannia Majestys yice-C onsul,
has been appointed agent for all the British and
foreign mails under the jurisdiction OF the British
government. This is considered most satisfactory
arrangement.
There were eighty cases OF yellow fever on board
the French corvette D'Estrees, and she had sailed
for New York.
lockwood was plentiful all along the coast and was
moving into the capital for shipment, and the new
coffee crop had commenced TO come in. Cotton was
