a barque, a topsail nnd two other schooners, had a

alight brush with the Dominicans on the 2d inst. at

Montecristo, after which the latter ran their vessels

on shore, and abandoned them. They were subsequently

gotten off hy the Haytiens, and one burned;

the other waa sent to Cape Haytien as a prize.

She is American built, and aaid to lielnng to an

American merrhantat Port-au-Platte. The Haytien

navy consists of acven sail, all Baltimore clippers

but one. A letter from Cape Haylien says:

"On the 25th ult. an 'arrfiC was published here

by the President, declaring all the Dominican porta

blockaded, and that any foreign merchant who

should, directly or indirectly, expedite a vessel to

any of theao ports, should forfeit his patent, and be

driven from the island.

"This regulation bears particularly hard on some

of the foreign merchants in this part of the island,

as, nt the commencement of the. revolution, they

had large outstandings in the Spanish ports, the

most of which are still uncollected; and their onljs

means of late for realizing any part of these, has

been to order homeward-bound vessels to touch at

Port-ail- Platte.

"It is also declared, that all vessels and merchandise

known to have come from the Spanish port,

shall lie confiscated. This is important as it

respects American vessels, as they sometimes touch

at Port-au-Platte to try the market, and then enter

here, or further westward; and although, in such

cases, the penalty might not be enforced, they would

still he subjected to difficulty."
