Revolution in Hayti.

NEW York, Aug. 8.-Advises from
Hayti state that the revolution has again
broken out in that republic. The IN
surgents are in force about 10 miles from
Port Au Prince. Port Au Prince is declared
In siege. A large portion of the city
was fired and the confagration continued
for two days and had noe been extinguish-
ed when the mail steamer left. Preside ent
Casal was unpopular with the native ele =
ment from his known feeling of cordiality
with foreign merchants and foreigners in
general. He is suspected accord
lngiyoD that account. He is a very
good soldier, however, and however
strong the foreign element may be it can
not protect him from the designs of those
who seek to gain the object of their am
bition by the assassination. General
Solomon A. Blackman formerly minister
to England, under the imperial rule of
SoloDgue, is present aspirant to Office and
says when he gets iuto power the colored
man and whitesman may both look out as
black republic will make the streets of
Port au Prince run rivers of blood of both
of them. The southern side OF the island
is equally disaffected, and Jacmail news
papers are openlyat variance with the ex-
isting administration. Numerous arres &
have been made by the government, Chiefly
among persons suspected of being secretly
engaged in revolutionary plots. A long
and important dispatch from Bassett, U.
S. minister, has been sent to the state de-
partment on TIE subject of American in
terests 10 the present crisis.
