CAN PAPERS. NEO "mtley rdne St. Domingo.— Purt-nu-Prince, Oct. 10.—A few days since we received the news of the death of Christophe, and the revolt of the troops at St. Marc, and a strong forttess in its vicinity, both belonging to that Mo. varque. I'arties of soldiers have come in from those places, bringing the heads of the Governor of St. Marc's, and of the Colonel commanding the latter. In behalf of their comrades, these men have claimed the protection of this government (under Boyer), which has in consequence sent off a considerable body of troops to take possession of those places, to be followed by all the disposable force now in the south, making altogether from 15 to 20,000 men. It is generally believed here that the mass of the population, under the successor of the late King Henry, is desirous of coming under that of the Republic. Should that be the fact, there is little doubt of President Boyer ere long visiting the Cape with his army. Captain Mason, of the Weymouth, in twenty-two days from Port-au-Prince, has furnished some particulars of the disasters by the gale at that place, on the 29th September; tbree American vessels were entirely lost outside the harbour, and great damage was dune to the coffee plantations in the neighbourhood He also informs us, that the Emperor Christophe died on the sth July last, end that the circumstance had been kept secret till this time by his family, with a view, it is said, of placing his son on the throne. A revolt, however, had taken place among the troops, and the secret was let out. A body of 6,000 troops, at St. Marc's, had sent a deputation to Port-au-Prince, asking protection of the President (Boyer), who was astonished at the intelligence, and would not believe it till he had sent one of his Aides to ascertain the fact. The Officer returned with a full confirmation of the news, and Boyer immediately set off, put himself at the head of the revolted troops, and entered St. Marc's ut the head of 18,000 men, in triumph. Active measures were taken to fit out all th armed vessels at Port-au-Prince, and it was believed the President would subjugate the territory of his old enemy without any difficulty. liavrtmotte, November 6.—Henri the First of Ilayti.—Christophe committed suicide about ten days before the sailing of the Barracoa.— He had been stricken with a paralytic affection in July. The army took the advantage of his incapacity to act, and revolted, first at St. Marc's, where they killed the governor. Five regiments at the Capes were then ordered by Christophe to - march against the insurgents. When assembled, they refused, and turned their arms against him. New Yona, Oct 25.—From Angoetura.—Capt. Vandine, who arrived yerterday in twenty-nine days from Angostura, and fifteen from St. Eustatia, informs that news reached the former place a few days before he sailed, of the surrenper of Curdlegena to the l'striots.
