SummaryResumen
According to *The Liberator*, an insurrection is underway in Hayti, with General Goffard—who entered the city with four men—gaining support across Aux Cayes, Jacmel, and the South, while St. Marks was seen in flames following likely divisions among its inhabitants. Quoting the *New York Herald*, the newspaper reports that the island spans 29,000 square miles, divided between the empire of Hayti (population 650,000; army of 20,000; plus a navy of four small vessels and one steamer) and the Dominican republic (population 150,000, with an army of 12,000), noting that the island's productiveness has declined under corrupt rule despite its rich soil and delightful climate.
Según *The Liberator*, una insurrección está en marcha en Haití, en la que el general Goffard —quien entró a la ciudad con cuatro hombres— va ganando apoyo en Aux Cayes, Jacmel y el Sur, mientras que Saint-Marc se vio en llamas tras probables divisiones entre sus habitantes. Citando a *The New York Herald*, el periódico informa que la isla abarca 29.000 millas cuadradas, divididas entre el imperio de Haití (población de 650.000 habitantes; ejército de 20.000 soldados; además de una armada de cuatro embarcaciones pequeñas y un vapor) y la República Dominicana (población de 150.000 habitantes, con un ejército de 12.000 hombres), señalando que la productividad de la isla ha disminuido bajo un gobierno corrupto a pesar de su suelo fértil y su clima agradable.

claimed President. He entered the city with only
four men. The inhabitants are joining Gen. Goffard
wherever he goes. Aux Cayes, Jacmel and all the
South have declared in his favor. Capt. Higgins
passed St. Marks on the night of January Ist, and saw
the place in flames, on account probably of a division
of opinion of the inhabitants (St. Marks is a small for
tified town). Goffard was to enter that place on that
day, and probably did so, but met with some opposi
tion from a party of Solouque’s adherents.
Hayti.—ln an article on the insurrection in this
island, the New York Herald says the area of the
island is about 29,000 square miles, one-third of which
is comprised in the empire of Hayti and two-thirds in
the Dominican republic. The population of Hayti is
650,000, and that of the republic of Dominica 150,000,
nine-tenths ot whom are of African descent, and the
remainder of the Spanish and Indian races. The
capital of the republic is the city of St. Domingo, built
by Bartholomew Columbus, brother of the great dis
coverer, in 1496. The army numbers about 12,000
men, while that of Solouque is as large as 20,000 and
he has a navy composed of four small vessels and one
steamer. The climate of the island is one of the most
delightful in the world, the soil rich and the scenery
superb; but its productiveness has declined under the
miserable and corrupt rule with which it has been
afflicted; the export of coffee and tobacco has fallen
off almost to nothing, and sugar is actually imported
from the United States into a country where it once
