came up to see what the clyde was about.
| Officers and armed sailors in boats rowed
around her. During this performance the
| heavy gun of the Toussaint was pointed
in a menacing manner toward the Amer
lean steamer. However, the rowboats re-
| turned to the man-of-war. On December
| 26, the roar Of cannon and the unmistaka-
BILE noise of battle coming from the coast
of Hayti were distinctly heard on that
| day. Captain Holmes, of the Clyde, had
| occasion to visit a mail steamer lying near
| the coast, thinking that she had orders for
I him. To do this he was forced to pass near
the Toussaint, from which boats were
again sent to intercept the captains pas
sage. The drum was sounded calling ma
rines who stood in fighting array with
| point ed guns as the officer passed. He was
cut off from his course several times by the
| boats from the men-of-war, but finally
reached his destination, and returned with
| out furl her molestation. On the morning
| of December %, a small schooner, the
Aurora, flying the Dominican flag under
| Captain Wilson, came from Turks Island
and attempted to 60 to Cape Haytien. She
was intercep ed however, by the Manzal,
whose men seized her an took the captain
and crew aboard and placed them in irons.
They then took the crew of little wrecked
brig, which was in Dominican waters and
| forced them to man the captured Aurora.
On the following day, the Odd, the two
| men-of-war hove anchor and steamed
| away with the Aurora in tow. But before
| going they seized several sailing vessels,
| which attempted to land near Manzlnillo
bay. They were carrying on a genuine
system of piracy in the interest of Leg
itime the Haytiens having declared, too,
that they would sink any vessel belonging
| to the Clyde line.
General Contreras was found at the Ho-
tel Martin. When asked whether his last
| mail contained any thing of special i'm
portance. said: 81 received a letter dated
December 90 from General N. Deslandes,
notifying me that Generals Louis Tammis,
Joseph Lacrox and Rosa defeated Hip
polyte's troops in several encounters.
Several Northern places were surrendered
to the victorious fl ,hters. among them be-
ing Verrettes. La Chappe.le, Marchand
and DessalineS. Rosa was the last of the
officers under General TheIemagne who
surrendered to General Leg,t me after
September %. and he is now fighting for
him. The letter announces further that
the bombardment of Montrouis and st.
Marc Is expected at any Time"
