By the arrival of the Alma to-May from Cape Haytl,

in four days, 1 learn that the place la surrounded by

the revolutionists, and that communication with the

Interior has been cut off, so that neither coffee nor

logwood can find Its way to the coast for shipment.

As a result of this vessels cannot find cargoes. Advices

have already gone to the United States to countermand

the sailing of vessels for Haytlen ports with

provisions, as no retnrn cargo can be furnished.

Tlireo vessels from the States, laden, have arrived in

Kingston from Haytl, having been unable to there

unload their cargoes.

The news from Port an Prince Is to the 26th,

brought by her Iirltannic Majesty's steamer Mullet,

which arrived at Port Royal on the evening of the

28th. Early on the morning of July 23 General

Normil quitted his portion of the insurgents'

lines around Port au Prince, evacuating the

Llghthouso and Carrefonrs, and hurriedly proceeded

to Petit Goave, arriving there the same

evening. The place was and had been for some time

in possession of the reactionists, or interior partisans

of Sulnave. These Normil attacked at once and after

a long aud desperately contested engagement he remained

master of the Held and of the town. The

loss was heavy on both sides. In his abandonment

of Carrefours Normil had to leave behind three

pieces of artillery for want of transportation. The

cannon were spiked and otherwise rendered nnsesvlceable.

The same day Salnave's forces occupied

Carrefonrs and of course found the spiked guns. A

highly self-laudatory and bombastlo proclamation
