By the arrival of the brig H. D. Brookman, at this port, from Port-au-Prince, we have later accounts from that island. The colored people who had fled from Port-au-Prince, had taken a stand at a place called 'Croix de Bouquet,' four leagues from the former place, and were secure for the present, in the hope that the army on the borders of the Dominican side of the island would come to their assistance, and enable them to remove from the Presidency the tyrant who has been the cause of such bloodshed. The Fort at Croix de Bouquet was immediately delivered up to the colored men that had retreated from Port-au-Prince, by the officer in command, who was a colored man. Soulouque, the President, was still at Port-au-Prince, and had not attempted to leave. Business was entirely at a stand, and the greatest distress prevailed among all classes. The H. D. Brookman was the only vessel in port when she left.

for the present, in the hope that the army on the
borders of the Dominican side of the island would
come to their assistance, and enable tfiem to remove

Bouqel’ was immediately delivered up to the colored
men that had retreated from Port-au-Prince, by the
governor of the village, Anthony Remy.
Il is the opinion of tne present refugees, that there
could not have been less than two thousand lives
sacrificed at Port-au-Prince. M. Lespenasse was
among the prisoners taken, and placed under strict
confinement. The outbreak was exlending through
out the country, and at Acquin, towards which place
it was reported that the Government parly were
marching, the people immediately took steps to se
cure the female portion ot the inhabitants; these,
together with a large number of children, were placed
on board of the vessels lying in the harbor, lor secu
rity. The vessels stood oft for some lime, and hav
ing but a limited supply of waler, and fearing lo run
the chance of procuring any on shore, it was deter
mined to come to Jamaica. We learn that these un
fortunate people were two days without waler, and
they were almost as badly off lor food. There is on
ly one arrival as yet; there are three others, we
hear, that had sailed from Acquin to Ibis island,.
Mr. Villamil very kindly gave up the extensive
