PORT AU PRINCE, Jan. 15, 1869.
The st. Marc people are anxiousy waiting for the
steamer which they sent to the United States for,
and the Southern rebels also anxious about their
steamer because Salnave is pressing them closely
and has set the Piques in motion In the plains OF
Aux Cages Offering them the plumber of the town.
These Piquets are numerous and ferocious, and
and 1t Is feared that they VIII be
the means Of salnave getting possession
OF the Southern ports. In the North everything
looks different, az no internal discussions exist
there, and II the Cape gets into the hands OF the
rebels they are all right. II the steamer for the
rebels gets away from your side Is her time to
90 into the Cafre which place would be taken at
once.
News that is considered reliable from ST. Marc
represents that town as 1ourishing. good busi.
ness has been done there, but, In every similar
case, has been overdone now, and prices OF pro-
duce have risen considerably, good deal OF snip

The French Admiral Is still here. His demands
have not yet been satisfactorily responded to by the
government. lie demands that victorin Chevaler
(COmmandant OF Gonaives) must apologize for
having tnsulted French subjects and ill-uSed his
powers. The French Admiral does not recognize
the blockade OF Haytien ports, this not being
efficiently done on the part OF the government lie
went down to st. Marc the other day to Massage
Saget and to look things there Massage and all ms
ministers present at Te Deil on board OF the
fgate as also the officers ofthe English frigate Niobe
and both vessels have since returned here on board
being quite enchanted with their visit to that port
During the Admiral's stay In st. Marc two French
vessels were observed trying to enter the port. The
Hayden steamer Salnave going to Goqalyes, saw
them and prevented them. The Admiral no sooner
heard this than he got up steam, went out and re-
turned next morning. towing both vessels into the
harbUr OF st. Marc. AS this government has signed
the treaty OF Paris paper blockade can be recog
nized. Only MIR. Seward thinks such a thing posi-
BILE, as his letter published In the Haytien Moniter
shows
IL is doubted whether Messrs. Hudson and Bliss
VINO went to New York In the interest of HOLSTER
Will succeed In their efforts to obtain loan, and it
is hoped that they viii not, as such sum OF money
in the hands OF sucn a crowd now rules this
part OF the island would only tend TO enrich few
country in general Since Salnave went South again
nothing has been heard from him up till now. The
h. A. DE Hart aair has been settled by the captain
OF the Nlpeic.
Mr.. Seward asks explanations OF the Haytien gov
eminent in regard to the steamer Potion using the
American nag while going at the time into Petit
G0ave, where she destroyed the rebol steamers.
Also about the Maratanza bombarding Jeremie be-
fore having her lag properly changed and with the
American Minister board. The American gov
eminent appears to be opening its eyes little bit
to what Is going on here.
