barque of two hundred tons, polacre rigged and pierced for

twelve guns, has lately been purchased and now lies in* the

harbor, together with a topsail schooner of six guns, (formerly

the Kathleen, of Philadelphia,) and three little clippers of two

guns each.

This force, it is said, is only awaiting the arrival

of a steamer, ordered from the United States, to sail for a

blockade of Santa Domingo, while a large force is to march

over and attack the town by land.

The President still resides here, and intends to make Cape

Haytien his permanent residence, though Port-au-Prince con

tinues to be the seat of Government.

The President is now

ill, and his general health is far from being good.”

A later letter, dated at Cape Haytien on the 10th

of September, says:

On the 1st instant the Haytien fleet, consisting of one

barque, a topsail, and two fore-and-aft schooners, carrying in

all twenty guns, sailed hence for Monte Christ, where it ar

rived next day, and after some firing, by which neither party

was injured, the Dominicans ran their vessels on shore and

abandoned them.

The Haytiens then bui nt one of the schoon

ers, and having got the other off, sent her in here a prize, with

a mahogany barge in tow, which had also been taken.

On the 25th ultimo an arrete" was published here by

the President, declaring all the Dominican ports blockaded,

and that any foreign merchants who should, directly or indi

rectly, expedite

a vessel to any of these ports, should forfeit

his patent and be driven from the island.

The fleet returned into port on the 8th.
