LATE FROM HAYTI.
https://www.loc.gov/resource/sn83026172/1844-06-15/ed-1/?sp=3
The following intelligence, from the Philadelphia United States Gazette, confirms the reports which have previously reached us of another change of Government in Hayti. The intelligence is brought by the schooner Mary Ann, which left Cape Haytien on the 30th ultimo. While there this vessel was at different times a means of shelter, not only to the American Consul, Mr. Usher, but to others, and as many as two hundred females whose lives were in danger during the late tumults. There was also a considerable amount of property placed on board of her for safety, but the prospect of returning quiet caused the disembarkation of both persons and property.
CAPE HAYTIEN, MAY 28, 1844.
This place has been rather quiet for the last week or two. The 'Council of State,' learning from Port au Prince that Rivera, or Herard, as he is called indifferently, had been deposed from office, and Gen. Guerrier appointed President in his place, concluded to accept Gurrier as President of the 'North' also, and he was accordingly proclaimed on the 18th. The Government is not to be consolidated, as heretofore; but it is in contemplation to erect the several divisions of the Island into States, somewhat in imitation of the United States Government, and Commissioners have gone to Port au Prince for that purpose. Their plans, however, do not appear to be very clearly developed at present. It is said this arrangement will be made to the Dominicans to join the new Government as a State, which, if they reject, another expedition will be sent against them. But it is the general opinion that they will be able to sustain their position as a distinct Government. There is some talk of their having made a treaty with France, but this wants confirmation.
The British frigate Spartan, 26 guns, Capt. Elliot, arrived here on the 26th instant from Port au Prince, whence she sailed for Jamaica. The British Consul went along with them. The ex-President has been ordered to leave the island, and his kinsman, Hérard Dumesle, late President of the Council of State, has also been banished, and they are to retire to Jamaica.
The South and the South-west generally continued submissive to the Government of Guerrier; and no new expedition is, at present, designed against the Dominicans, by whom Herard's troops were severely beaten. Both men and horses are said to have suffered extremely on the return march from hunger, nakedness, disease, and vermin.
The U. S. sloop Preble was at Aux Cayes a few days since, and when the Spartan left was daily expected at Port au Prince. The French force about the island consists of five frigates and a steamer.
