Letters thence speak ofthe freedom which is eu- joved, and the republican justice, which 1s practised. President Boyer, we understand has already restored certain property un- justly held by the king—and encourage- ment is given that more extensive restora tions may take place. Perhaps it 1s not unreasonable to hope that the American claims, once urged by our government ob Christophe, may now be renewed with success. In the present good understanding, one the ports of Hayti might be complimented 1s the station, whence to cruize, of a frig- ate employed to intercept the slave yessels if American, going from Africa to the Isl- and of Cuba. —— RR — Charleston Jan. 11.—Captain Wise, of the brig Essex, arrived yesterday from Pori- au-Prince, informs us that President Boyer arrived at that place Irom Cape Henry, three days before he sailed, having an army of sixteen tnousand men, besides a compa: ny of the life-guards of the late king Chris- tophe. All business was suspended to give place to rejoicings, &c.~the city had been illuminated for three nights preceding the sailing of the Essex. eT Rens St. DominGo.—Accounts are received by an arrival at Boston from St. Domingo of the discovery of an extensive and deep- faid plot, by the blacks ot that place, to massacre the whites and mulattoes, and pillage the city. The discovery was made but afew hours previous to the one fixed on for carrying their horrid project into execution, and the ringleaders were seized and are imprisoned. This conspiracy amounted, it is said, to upwards of 5000 blacks, all armed. On the first alarm be- ing givenol their intentions, the inhabitants were panic struck, and flew on board the shipping in port for safety. N.Y. &, P, i Joseru TF.
