When this news was received 1t was generally ad- mitted that Legitime could not last much longer.
 Johannes Haustedt of the firm of Jim- enes, Hausuedt & Co.,, who is Hyppolite's s agent in this city, says that he has re- celved no news of the capture of Port au Prince. He has no direct communica- ton with that city, but receives his de- spatches from Hyppolite's capital, Cape Haytien, or by way of Kingston, Mr.. Haustedt said that the friends of Hyppo- lite here have been expecting some such termination of the war, as Hyppolite had obtained possession or the entire country with the exception of Port-au- Prince, and had kept Legitime shut up in that city for the past two weeks
 On Thursday, MT. Haustedt received 0 despatch from Kingston, saying that Le- gitime had made four attempts to escape from Port-au-Prince, but each time had been prevented by his followers.
 MT. Haustedt says that Hyppolite was proclaimed provisional president" at the outset of the insurrection. He makes no claim to being the actual president of Hayti. A new election will be ordered by the provisional government Mr. Haustedt does not think that Gen. Hyp- polite wu lstand as a candidate for the presidency.

No News Of the Crew Stranded on Gal
 loup Island.
 WATERTowN, N. r., June 1.-Further particulars have been received about the barge Bavaria, one of the Calvin's boats that was reported stranded on Gallup Island on Tuesday. It seems that when the barge struck the shoal, the crew, eight persons in all, took to small boat, but on account of the terrific gale, they could not reach the island and were lost They were seen at one time by a passing tug clinging to their yawl. The tug could not render any assistance. The yawl was sfterward seen floating with no person in her.
 Permission had to be obtained from the treasury department at Washington before any wrecking assistance could be sent to the barge. When the barge was reached they found her in very good con- dition, with scarcely any water in The clothes belonging to the men were dry, and had they remained aboard of the barge all would have been saved.
