FROM HAYTI.

Poxt au PaiscE, August 15, 1851.

The President, from Cepe Hayti, arrived here this after

noon, bringing the intelligence that the Emperor of St. Do

mingo would reach Cape Hayti on the 13th of August, re

turning from the Dominican frontiers, the inference from

which ia that the fears entertained of his croseing the frontiers

are diasipated. Had he crossed, there csn be little doubt that

the English and French forces would have declsred an imme

I diate blockade of every port of the Haytien portion of tha

island. It is now believed that the pending difficulties will

be smicably settled.

demand for sage here in town.

was anxions to try his speed. Various contests of fieetness

were witnessed between old wheeling cart-horses, running

quarter racea at the north end of Jackson street, in the sand

ankle deep. Aa this is a new wrinkle on the brow of civili

sation here, a very large multitude turned oat to the

races.?Pioneer.
