A later report from Kingston says:?"The British

steamship Melbourne is just coming in. The Emperor

Soalouque 1b on board."

FITBTHEB F ABCICCL A R8.

The intelligence received irom Hayti, by the packet, contains

the fact of the total defeat of the Emperor Soulouquo,

who, it is stated, had taken refuge in one of her Mojosty's

steamers, and was expected to proceed to Jamaica. The

republic had been fully established, with General Geffrard

as President.

A letter from Jacmel, dated 18th uIt., and received in

Kingston, says:?

"l have this day the pleasure of informing you that tho

great events of your country have taken a favorable turn.

Gesseral Geffrard has been ever since thelbih instant at Pot*

me Prince, as President of the republic of Hayti.

"The achievement of his cause is doubly glorious, when

we consider that not a drop of blood was spilt, and that

things were not carried on under the influence of any personal

revenge. On the 16th, at four o'clock A. M., General

Geffrard entered the capital, surrounded the Emperor's

house, where the bitter was attended by his staff, caused

them to bo taken by his (Geffrard'e) own guards to tho

French Legation, In order to keep them out of harm's

way, and thus allowed him to embark (and also his family,

I believe) on board the British transport Melbourne,

to take him to Jamaica.

"As soon as General Geffrard entered the city it was

spontaneously illuminated, and ho was taken in triumph

to the Exchange llouse, where he harrangued the people.

And thus fell the power of the barbarous Soulouque.
