Port au Prince is reported as threatened by “eneral Nissage Saget, and in consequence President Saaaye has been compelled to withdraw from Jérémie.” Tig of-war will be heard of is Aux Cayes or Petit Goave, ‘The Picos are deserting Salnave’s standard be- cause they have found out that he is a mulatto, not ® pure black. General Domingue, who has been proclaimed President of the South, is a black. He accepts the position and appeals for support to all the blacks. He has 16,000,000 of paper money at command and a Great deal of produce. President Salnave has hai a very dangerous attack of apoplexy. He has been destroying a great deal of foreigners’ property with his gunboat, Alex. Pétion, and the British Commodore (Phillimore), has received orders to watch Salnave’s movements and actions. The latter has had a brief quarrel with his late Minister, Delorme. . From Port au Prince we have advices to October 26. President Salnave had returned from the South. The rebels are disputing at St. Marc. Generals Montas and Lynch were put in irons, and General Lubin bas been appointed commandant at Port au Prince. Tie excitement and indignation in Hayti against Americans is increasing, This hostility is caused in part by the fact that the Haytien government was furnished with its war veasels by American ship- owners, and that these vessels are manned by Ameri- cans who do not refuse to execute the cruel orders of Sainave. Itis expected that the bombardment of Jacmel Wil! soon follow. That placeds protected py batteries in which some good ordnance ig mounted, and, if at- tacked, will make a resolute defence. CUBA.

President Grant His Policy=Stereoscopic Views from a Democratic Standpoint. Nov that the agony of the Presidential contest ts over and it f# no ionger believed necessary that the efforts to depreciate the worth and ability of rivad cendidates should be conunded, speculation has commenced here upon the probably policy that wil! ve adopted by the President elect; and the question whether he wil! pursue 9 wise, conservative course, keeping only in view the rea! good of the whole coun- try, or aliow himseif to be guided and controlled by extreme meu of either party, is diligently canvassed, The announcement of General Graut that he will have no policy except the will of the people 18 ac- cepted by the more moderate men here as an earnest that he will be steadfast and resoiute in administer- ingthe affairs of the country with wisdom, temper- ance and an enlightened spirit of justice that will tend finally to the healing of the wounds which the late fratricidal war and the bitterness that has grown out of it have inflicted upon the nation. The democrats generally manifest a disposition to make @ virtue of necessity and take the election of Grant a3 a blessing in disguise. Some go so far as to say that the republicans have selected a whip with which to receive their own castigation. Now, many ‘actions of General Grant since he has occupied a Prominent position in the country are cheerfully re- called by democrats, which, they claim, prove beyond all doubt his conservative principles. These points in Generai Grant’s public career have deen totally ig- nored by both parties during the political campaign, because they are not of a character to con- vince republicans of Grapt’e radicalism or to win votes from the republican party by showing that he is suMciently conservative to de- serve even the support of democrats. Thus many of the worthiest and most magnanimous acts of the President elect were suppressed, owing to his hav- ing been nominated by theyrepublican party, which, had he been running on the other ticket, would have redounded to his honor and aided him to achieve success, Since tt ts clear, however, that General Grant ia elected by a handsome majority, the demo- crats, with a simultancousness somewhat remark- able, have discovered these outcroppings of con- servatism in Grant, and remind one another that they would not be at all surprised if he should turn out to be a better President for the democracy than they could have selected for themselves, One gentleman statesgthat soon after his nomina- tion Generai Grant said to a friend, who ts a prominent officer in the War Department, that he had always been a democrat and that he was a democrat yet. He did not seek the Presidency, and did not care to fill that office for the mere honor or proft that it would bring him; but he did feel ambi- tious to be the means of restoring the country to its former peace and tranquillity by completing, through civii authority, what as a military oMcer he Was obliged to leave unfinished. Taking the testi- mony of those who have enjoyed to a greater or less degree the friendship aad confidence of General Grant, there does appear to bea very well founded reason for indulging these expectations. Those who know him best assert that the General 1s possessed of an ardent desire to contribute all that is in his power towards softening the asperities of the present conditon of affairs in the country, and that he wi'l so exercise the prerogatives of his oMce as to de- serve the respect of all parties, The Probabilities of President Grant’s Cabinet. The composition of the new Cabinet has now be- come a fruitful source of speculation, and the num- ber of those who assume to speak from unimpeacha- ble authority about the probabilities of the next Cabinet has received @ large reinforcement of late, Among the names mentioned in connection with the Treasury are those of Zach Chandler, A. T. Stewart, E. B. Washburne and Senator Sherman; and for the War Department General Schofleld, General John A. Rawlins and the famous “Stick” of the War Ofice, E.M. Stanton. The latter is also spoken of as a likely candidate for the diplomatic portfoilo. In mentioning these names, however, I intend merely to give the substance of flying rumors. Nothing bas yet been gleaned in reference to the Cabinet thatcan be regarded as reliable. No Sension of Congress This Month.

THEATRE ComQuE.—While there appears to be no decrease in the numbers who nightly throng, this establishment, a iittle more variety than has hitherto been presented could be judiciously tntroduced. Lingard has already established himself favorably yet his delineasions bave become too hackneyed in order to waintain a much longer successful run. Admittedly possessed of a fund of tact, humor and versatility, there is no question that there fs yet abundant room for a more novel display of his ability. The street bands have been so truly liberal with “Captain Jinks” and a few other ettdsiona of that class that to hear them now even from their original source does not come with a desirable fresh- ness. “The Grecian Bend” and “The Young Widow,” however, are admirably periormed, and continue to elicit the heariest applause. Hilton’s ventroloquial powers are mirth-provoking, and especially so last evening, When some excelient hits were appropri- ately introduced into his clever and witty dialogue. Ofenbach’s ¢prightly operetta, “Lischen and Fritzchen,” found capital representatives in Misa S. Galton and Thomas Whiffen, and a most laughable entertainment entitled ‘My Neighbor's Wife’ brought the performance to @ close. A little more novelty, & few additional clever artists and the Theatre Comique would be a most popular and com- fortabie place of amusement. BRYANTS’ MINSTRELS—“LA SOMNAMBULA.”—The great progress in burnt cork miustrelsy which has manifested itself during the past few years has almost completely revolutionized this particular line of popular amusement, and performances which at one time comprised merely a potpourri of absurd caricaturgs and grotesqueries, presented without re- gard to stage mounting, and claiming their chief at- traction from the disgusting and sometimes offen- sive costumes, composed of refuse clothing from ali the rag shops of the city, are now replaced by the most complete and costly stage paraphernaiia scenery and appointments of the most luvish dis- play. “fhe last grand attraction at Bryante’ has actually eclipsed all former attempts to combine beauty, refinement and enjoyment onthe Ethiopian stage. The new operatic burlesque of “La’ nainbula, the midnight Grecian Kend-er who in her sleep,” is one of the finest extravaganzas presented for along time before a New York pabiic, and would be hignly creditable a8 a spectacle to any of the city dramatic establishments. Eugene as Amina is admirable in point of make up, aud 1s ap ebony beanty of no .mean personal charms, although she (or he) is a bogus belle, In the matter of form and voice Eugene must unquestionably be classed as one of the first burleagne prime donne on the stage, and puzzles many of his auditors as to Whether he does or does not actnally belong to the gentler sex, Unsworth’s performance -in whatever class of character be assumes is well known, and the reputation he first made in this country has been added to by the prestige of his great popularity and unegualied success in London during the seven years of bis absence from us, His Alessio in the “‘Somnam- bula” ia repiete with his proverbial wit, humor and finish, and elicits encores and plandits throughout the piece. The cast of characters in the burlesque is unique and gah pore and the chorus is excellent in ail its parts, The scenery, particularly the moun- tains of the Tyroi and the caiaract scene, are among Wallack’s finest productions, and 18 something new in minstre! representations. Dan Hryant’s irrepres- sible talent 1s @ houselold word, and the company as # unit may be considered as unexcelled by anything 40 its line of business, ~ Keuiy aN Lion's Mrxsrneis.—The travesty of French opera bouge, in which Leon hit so happy a vein of amusement, is still the feature at Unis estab- lishment, The picce most recently brought out and now in the heyday of success is @ burlesque of Offenbach’s, “Orphée aux Enfers,” given with the title. The general plot of the original ts pre- served, as well a8 its exceilent little morceauc of aoe while the mounting of the burlesque in the way of dress and costames is certainly bot infertor to the fashion at more pretentious piaces of enter- tainment. Leon ts, of course, ee and a ver: saucy one. The concourse in Hades, whither Jup! ter wakes @ visit, gives an opportunity for a number of excellent hita tn the conundrums which the jesfals propound to each other.

For fifteen minutes, to slow music, there is @ steady involution and evolution of ferns, flowers, clouds and rainbows, until the gods reach Olympus, The ptece called “Chip of the Old Block,” which folio’ the ollo, was mirth-provok- ing; but portions of it are too broad to be in good taste. San FRaNcisco MIN@TRALS.—The “orgies” that begin at eight o'clock and the “dissipation” that ceases-at ten o'clock each evening in the bull of the San Francisco Minstrels seduce many to assixt at them. The temptation ts pardonapie, however, and he who yields to tt will be readily forgiven by any one who witnesses the comical grimaces of Birch and the fanny contortions of Backus, and listens io the musical votces of Wamboid, Scott and Temple. ton a8 Wuey_ follow the programme announced by Bernard. “gags” and jokes were very last evening, and kept the audience steadily laughing. ‘Wamboid had to repeat his song in obedience to an encore, a8 did Birch his comicai version of ‘Not for Joe.” The burlesque of “Ole Bull,” by Backus, was Teally excellent, as the peculiarities and manner of the old maestro are very dimicult to define and more diMcult to imitate, even m burlesque. “Barber Brown, or the iMc Sloper,” with its gorgeous bau- room scene, still Keeps the boards ut this house. Tony Paston’s.—With @ rapidity which only tact, judgment and atrue appreciation of the feel- ings of his many patrons, Tony Pastor manages to get through a programme every night which might reasonably be divided between half a dozen places of entertainment. Negro sketches, songs, dances and characteristic selections are still ta high favor and rewarded with loud tokens of Spprobation, Not the least interesting portion of the bill of fare lust evening Was the excelient performance of the Cou- tellier Brothers, whose daring yet easy and gymnastic feats evoked w ned applause. “New York Before and Afier Dar! local drama, though not remarkable for its literary ability, was neverthe- less well received for the many well directed hits it contained. Tony as “Jim Nassau” was equal to the arduous and classical role, and was weil sup- ported by the company. Evrorgan Cincvs.—Those bright memories of childhood days and the circus as we then saw it, with its broadly spanning canvas and rustic benches rising in step-ladder fashion to the canvas horizon, aud troops of fleet horses, of queer piebald colors, at breakneck speed bearing around the sawdust ring riders in sparse but gorgeousty glistening eostumes, and the clown, so queerly dressed and #0 fuli of jokes aud pranks and Moshe feats, surpassing ia their suppleness aad daring all previous conceptions of physical possibilities—all these and more, too, fash upon one with tho pleasing vividness of youthful realities in visiting the European Circus, corner of Broadway and Thirty-fourth street.

The enterprise of the manager in pro- viding riew attractions before the public had tine to tire of the pieces already presented has borne an abundant harvest of applause and greenbacks §=The building was quite crowded last night by @ most respeciable audience, and the applause which greeted the different performers gave abundant evidence of appreciation. The decorations tn this circus have been referred to before in terms of commendation and the dresses of the performers have been men- tioned in pratse. In fact, there ta nothing tawdry or second hand in the arrangements in tits estab- lishment, every article being of the best description, The several artists who made thelr bow last night acquitted thetuselves to the entire satisfaction of the audience. It will do no harm, however, to remind the clown (Mr, Williams) that people cannot be ex- pected to laugh very heartily at jokes ag oid ag theruselves, Something new in that way would be acceptable. The “exercises on the horizontal bar” "4 the Levantine Brothers, the. “comic. stilt acu’ (Messra, Charies and William Conrad) and the per- tormances of the dog fanny were warily applauded, as they deserved to be. The “Chinese Festival, or Feast of Lanterns,” concluded the entertainment, HooLky’s MINSTRELS, BROOKLYN.—Now that the people are beginning to relapse into their wonted quiet after the excitement of the political canvass the patrons of Hooley'’s Opera House, whose name is legion, are turning their attention to innocent amusement and recreation, and are flocking to this favorite temple of mirth. Last evening there was a very numerous attendance at Hooley's, who wit- nessed the excellent programme presented for the present week, and, judging from the expressions of | approval, fully endorsed the election of the new can- didates for public favor, Measrs. Joe Emmett, G. W. Grima, Billy West and J, I. Jones.

The programme for this week ix a most attractive one, and it is only necessary to mention the names of some of the more prominent of the tonpe to satisfy even the creduious people of i+ strength and the variety of tun and musie which the residents of that notable city, (that was) bave at thelr very doors, almost, thus saving tuem the trouble of making long voyages on the East river to New York in search of amusement:—Professor O’Reardon, who performs s6me curious tricks with his tumbleonioun; J.

It seemed but as yesterday that on another stage she had enacted these game touching sorrows; and though the building was densely crowded, it is probabie that thoze who now saw “Leah” for the first time might have been seated without dimicuity in one row of the pit.
