The past fortnight bas not been productive of a call the attention or excite the petro yt ee of the HeraLp. The active political campaign, already fuily described in my ‘communications, steadily progresses, and the popular mind appears to be thoroughly awakened to the importance of the occasion. The radical re- forms introduced in the electoral system and the Generalization of the rights of franchise go far to- ‘Wards insuring a fair election. Although no candi- Gates have yet been named forthe Presidency tt is More than probable that Mr. Errazuriz, tormeriy ‘Minister of War, will be the most popular of those already tn view. » Foreigners here regard the present political situa- tion with great interest, irom the fact, principally, ‘that such a contest, conducted on libgral principles, cannot but tend to advance the repuolic, and every ‘step of progress is tor the mercantile community @ decided advantage, establishing even more firmly the law and order happily dominant in Chile. ‘The pumber and tinportance of the recent confla- im this city and im Santiago have justly alarmed tne public, and there are many who are dis- posed to regard the occurrences as Ln BOE Political signification, This belief is fostered by the fact that the veaviess loases by the recent calamities {have been prominent members of the opposition party, and in Santiago 1 ts loudly deciared that the clerical or government orgaumations are responsible for the disasters. ‘The oiice of the Ferro Carrit newspaper—one of tue boldest prints in favor of the opposition-—was totally destroyed, but through tne energy of its editors and supporters issued its regtiae euition the very day after the fire occurred. Whether the belief referred to has any foundation or not it ts dificult to say; but there can be no doubt that all of tnese destruce tive conflagrations were the work of incendiaries, and the most strenuous measurea are belug taken by the native and foreign insurance compautes to alscover the perpetrators. General Kipatrick, the Minister of tue United States here. advised this government suine time since that the United States, renewed Its proposal for @ congress of plen!potentiaries from Spain and Une Pacitic aliies to arrange finally thei duiicuities, and that the, Department of State was desirous that, this conierence sould take place in Wasuington on the 16th proximo, ‘the Minister of Foreign Affairs has publisued a iong report on the subject, alleging that Chile 13 ready to enter into the arrange- ment, provided (hat the goverameat of the United States wiil guarautce the effectiveness of the armis- tice which it would be the first duty of the plenipo- tentlaries to adjust, The remaining ailied republics have made no such stipulauon—in iact, uucondl- uonally accepved Lue ideas of the Washington vaul- net, aud, trom the absence of any Chilean repre- sentative in cue United states, itis feared that the 10th Of January will pass wituout Che proposed con- ference, Chile has ulways beea backward in her diplomatic policy towards the natious proposing peace or mediation. ‘The feeling of morttivaiion at the Valparaiso atiair, and @ species of jeaiousy re- gaming rern’s success On the 24 of May, lave re- warded her acceyrance of any pian for setijement, and will, in all provability, further delay suck a wished for couchision, A very patriouc proposition has been made to the government by Lou Luis Cousiio, a wealihy Chilean and a gentiewian of great taste and activity.

In the point of the Escalera, called Taurichupa, a territory belonging to the estate of Pesavo, there was an establishment situated at the base of @ declivity covered wita wood, under the management of a Colombian named Darius Vasque., for the extraction of quina, The work was pro- gressing very briskly, and nearly 400 arrobaa of bark had beeu collected without any thing worthy of notice having occurred to disturb the labor, ex- cept some Wiunder and heavy rains, common at the season.

No one escaped. All tlie dead bodies were extracted except two. Lives pa OF Rallways—An Important Enterprise--tho Andes to be Tunuelled— Peace with Spain. Lota, Dec. 28, 1869, On the 22d inst, the government of Peru decreed the moat important public work that has as yet been inaugurated in South America, and which, in point of future benefits, ranks only second to the Pacitic Ratlroad and the Suez Canal. On that day the two great roads between Lima and the Peruvian head waters of the Amazon, and from the city of Are- quipa, 100 miles in the 1nterior, through the popu- jous and fertile Indian Department of Puno to the celebrated lake of Titicaca, were contracted for by our enterprising countryman, Mr. Henry Meiggs. The natural aimiculties attendant upon the con- struction of these railways, both of them passing the Andes range of mountains, and the large sums of money necessary for thelr completion, have, of course, been serious obstacles in the achievement of an end that has been the avowed object of Colone; Balta’s government ever since its accession to supreme power in the republic. But, thanks to the indefatigable energy of Mr. Meiggs, to tho firm will of President Baita and the stores of guano provi- dentlally given to Peru, these obstacles have been surmounted, and by the time this communication is published the works will be in progress, The line from Lima to the mountain pass of the Uroya,a narrow gap io the chain of the Cordiileras, far tn the interior, 13 that which has attracted the greater share of public attention, from the interest attached to its success owing to the very pecuuar ciroum- stances of the undertaking. The road after leaving Lima passes through the fertile vaiieys of tue nergh- boring terior until it reaches the foot of the first line of mountains, about forty miles from tne capital, and from thence to the terminus hag to surmount dimculties pronounced by the sur- veving engineer to be unequalled in the history of ratiroad enterprise. Atan elevation of more than sixteen thousand feet aoove the level of the sea tun- nels have to be consiructed varying from a mile and @ half to @ quarter of @ mile in length, and the longest traverses, at the enormous height men- tioned, the very summit of the Andes. Passing this point the line contioues over ground more or less dificult until the terminus 18 reached, after having surmounied tne Cordillera, and the last station 18 to be erected on the river Chanchamayo. at a dis- tance of about thirty miles from the head waters of steamer navigation and 142 from Lima. This river flows into the Apurimac, which, navigabie tor steamers of considerable draught, empties ito the Ucayalt and tits into the Amazon itself, and thugs the connection between ocean and ocean is made compiete. Froyn (is station of the Oroya Gap, how- ever, three distinct branches of the road radiate to the Important towns of Tarma, Cerro de Pasco, the Potost of Peru, and Chanchamayo, which last is at the head of the navigation already referred to. The United States made a proposition to Peru, in 186, thal the existing difficuitigg between the allied republics of the Paciiic and Spkin snould be finally setiled by a Congress of pienipotentiaries, to be appointed by the interested governments, and to meet under the auspices of the United States im Washington. Owing to the disinclination of Chile to accept this offer the matter was allowed to rest until 1568, When the proposal was renewed, ‘Tne American Minister in this city, General Hovey, displayed the greatest zeal and activity in supporting the wishes of ils governm a succeeded in persuading the diplomatic the allied repubiics in Lima, who were spectaliy au- thorized for the purpose, together with the Peruvian Minister for Foreign Atfairs, to sign a protocol con- senting to the arrangement, ‘The reasons and argu- ments used by Mr. Seward were reiative to the injury that was being suffered by neutral commerce fromthe anomalous state of affairs between Spain and the allies, and the mefiicacy of continuing a situation which only could be termed a technical war. Peru, having satisfied her honor in the battie of the 2d of May, was willing to enter into tho views of the United Staves, as were likewise Bolivia and Keuador; bat Clile, smarting under the bombard- ment of Valparaiso, was induced with duiiculty to accept the proposed pian. Aiter the signing of the protocol notiing further was heard of the confer. ence until a few weeks since, when the American Legation in this city, acwng under instruc. tions from the Department of State. made a direct proposal to the Foreign Office here, that on the 16th of January next the Congress should as- semble in Washington. The same action being taken vy the legatious of the United States in Obie, Bo- livia and Ecuador, Pera has signified her intention made to Cuba when tue independence of that taland was acknowledged. A RURAL LORD AINSLEY. A Theological Student in the Role of Alfred Jingle—He Hopes His “Pious Example and Christian Influence Will be Taken as Compensation for His Board” —850,000 Worth of Debts. . Aswindle, decidedly gigantic in its proportions, and for cool audacity unsurpassed and seldom if ever equalled, has just been brought to light at Kingston, N. Y., where William Travis, an adventu- rer, duped and swindled a number of citizens out of at least $60,000. Claiming to be the heir to large estates in New York city and Philadelphia, ne suc- ceeded in inducing nis friends to advance him the above named amount, until he should become of Jawful age to take possession of the estates, promis- ing to handsomely remunerate them for thelr kind- ness, He then, under the protence of taking a short tip of pleasure, left bis victims. A HEALTHY THEOLOGICAL STUDENT. It seems, about two years ago, Travis was a young theologica student, and ono day visited Kingston, ostensibly to recruit his health. After spending a few weeks, breathing the pure air of the Catskills, roaming among the pleasant hills and valleys which surround the romantic village of Kings- ton, and finding mis healtn much improved, he concluded to sojourn there for a time. He was introduced into society and chaperoned by @ well known divine from Monrisania, who spoke im very eulogisuc terms of the student, portraying in giowing colors his piety and his many Caristian virtues, and dwelt loug upon his enormous wealth, Informing them Ue had lately falien sole neir to the estate of one Mri. De Wall, of New York city, valued at $250,000, A young man of such reputed wealth, and withal so agreeable and fascinating in manners, Was, 43 may readily be supposed, at once received with open 3 by the elie of the town, and many an anxious, intriguing mamma with daughters to wed weni into ecslasies over the “peausiful, charming, dem folne” young student. Parties were given, picnics arranged, drives pro- posed, and al! seemed to vie with each other to ao houor to the uoble scion of the Louse of Travis. He drove the most natty turnouts, sported the largest and mosgi briliiant of solisaires, wore a seari tue groenest Of the greea, smoked noue but Partagas “rst, drank only Piper Heidsieck and Asmeniiser, and, like the rich man of oid, Was “clothed In purple and fine linen aud fared sumptuously every day.’’ One would suppose that this mode of living would have aroused suspicion as being rather “loud” tor a meek and jowiy tollower of Carist; but then we live in wonderful umes, Sufficient wis wo say thac he became a great tuvorite among the sisters of the church of Which ke Was & member, aud all were loud in tuelr praise excepi, peruaps, a few spinsters: of rather doubtiul age, who could see no good in the protuse aitenwons He bestowed ou a few married sisters Ol the fuck. In fact, the many delightful moonlight drives on the Vauxhall road led to more or less talk, bu all that wus s00n huslied, as Le became even more and more devout and entertalued the Sunday school each Sabbath afteradon with interesting stories, and at prayer meetings was loud and fervent in his exhor- tations aud prayers and lent bis melodious voice to the singiog of hymns and chantiag of anthems. How he raised money to support this style of living 18 somewhat strange, and saows how easily people’s eyes are blinded by — out- ward show and finespun —_represeutations. His bump of assurance was weil developed, and he very soon caiied upon his fricuds Jor joans, showing a document purporting 10 be the last will and testament of one Mrs. De Wa, bequeatiuny to him, William ‘Travis, houses, lols, bonus, mortgages, &c., 0 the amount ot $259,000, Jonn T. uormuan and Judge ingalis being represented as witnesses Lo the wiil; also a decree irom tue Surrogate pronouuc- Ing the Will valid aud declaring ‘Travis Wo ve the legitimate heir, A PRETTY STORY. ‘The papers had all the appearance of being gen- uine, aud now the persuasive powers of tae young stuaent were brought in play. beimg a periect Chesterfield in mauners he would tei a voucaing and patuetic story iow he had struggled im poverty when a were child, at last securiug & posiuien in @ store in New York city a3 an erraud boy, how oace having occasion to carry @ bundle to the residence of Mrs, De Wall tie kind lady came io the door and at once seemed to take a great interest tu him; how a short time after sue adopted him; vow he had tried to be dutiful son, and had the pleasant recoliection of betag @ coufort to her in her decuning years; how she sickened and died, and let him nearly beartbroken, Lut the sole heir to her immense property.

His pleasing manners, sympathetic nar- rative, documeutary evidence and she strong re- commendation irom the divine from Morrisania, presented quite a :plausible story; and he was en- abled to borrow frow a Mr. Vandermark, at diiicreut times, money to the amount of $20,000, THE HARVEST GATHERED.

HAVANA, Jan. 20, 1870, Mr. Seward has been and continues to ve the re- ciplent of such attentions from the authorities and citizens here as must be extromely agreeable to him personally and as a representative of the great re- public. On Tuesday, the 13th, at eight o'clock in the evening, he was treated to a beautiful serenade by the volunteers of Havana. 1a considerable num- bers they formed a hollow square in front of the Telegraph Hotel, where Mr. Sew- ard 18 residing, carrying torches, and in the centre three bands played a variety of national and operatic airs, closing with “Yankee Doodle,” which had the effect of exciting some enthusiasm among the few Americans present. Meanwhile @ deputa- tion of volunteers and prominent citizens waited upon him, neaded by General D. Julian Zulueta, who addressed him in the following words: EXORLLENT SIR—The corps of volunteers of this capital, united with a number of prominent citizens of the same, who, by their character, represent the people, have the honor to extend their compliments to your Excellency on your happy arrival in thelr midst.

The serenade closed at half-past nine o'clock, and the large crowd which had gathered quickly dispersed. ‘The remarks of Mr. Seward, wich that gracetulness of compliment which the Spaniard 13 pever lacking to his {rieod, were printed by the Diario de la Ma- rina 10 both English and spanish. Yesterday Mr. Seward dined with the Captain General at the official country residence, outside the city, and attended the theatre in the evening. Mr. Seward has determined to remain here about two weeks, when he will proceed to St. Thomas or some of the other West Indies, returning so as to reacb his home tue latier part of February or first of Maren. The Termination of the Insurrection Not Ex- pected Until 1871—The Ideas and Inten- tions of the Colonial Authorities—The Diplomatic Questions—Encounters in the Cinco Villas—Conspiracy Among the Ne= aroes—Kecapture of a Sloop by the Spaniards—Nothi Yet Known of Puello. HAvaNA, Jan. 22, 1870, Distinguished and no doubt extremely well in- formea persons in Washington are predicting an early termination of tue insurrection in this island. Among them 1s that erudite diplomutist, Mr. Edward Lee Plumb, whose knowledge of the. condition of affairs here, derived trom Spanish OMicials and from @ visit to a sugar estate outside of Matanzas a week prior to his departure, when he was not in the slightest danger from insurgents or anybody else, enables him to speak by authority. It is a subject of regret that these gentiemen cannot infuse into the breast of the Spanish representatives here whose duty it 18 to suppress the insurrection some little of that sublime confidence with which they are over- flowing. From very bigh and most reliable authority 1 am able to state that these representatives do not an- ticipate an end to this war prior to the winter of 1870 and 1871. While no doubts felt of their power to end it before that time the sacrifices to that end are thought to be too great and by no means essential to the ultimate interest and glory of Spain. As long as any doubt was entertained of the course of the United States on the subject of recognition and the departure of the gunboats all possible efforts were put forth without regard to sacrifice. Now it is as- sumed to be known that in no case ts it the policy of Grant's administration to recognize the Cubans as belligerents, and it is believed the gun- boats will effectually prevent any supplies reaching them to the increase of their strength. It 1s argued that in all those sections of the island where vhe in- terests of the government and of Spaniards are in- volved and where so much destruction has nat taken place as to renderthem useless few, if any, insurgents remain, and agricultural operations, from which are derived primarily the resources of the government and the wealth ot the people, are going on asusual. ‘The insurgents occupying the more remote, rugged and inaccessible localities, though suffering much from want of clothing, salt and other necessities, have plenty to eat, are in large numbers, and, being thoroughly acquainted with the country, it is exceedingly difficult to get at them with troops, particularily those not ac- ciimated. {¢ 1% realized that auring the littie more than ® month which remains and in which European troops can campaign the insurgents forces cannot be destroyea, and as the prosecution of the campalgn beyond that time would ouly cause the useless sacrifice of thousands of the patriots who haye come out here to preserve the national in- tegrity that portion of the coantry now occupied will be held, and the troops made to do as litle ay possible during the summer, at the end of which they will have become accustomed to the climate and enabvied to search out toe Cubans, constantly growing weaker {rom a cessation of supplies. slean- Whtie and until the unheaithy season sets in all pos- sible will be accomplished for the good of the cause and the satisiying of public opinion. It is surmised among some more thoughtful people nere that other and deeper calculations enter ine & eee of this contest. ‘The idea, originally suggested, I tnink, by the HERALD, that important negotiations touciting this isiand between the United States aud Spain might follow ou a termination of the war, 13 regarded ag very likely, as thereby can be explained the very pecaliar and inconsistent course of the Washington admiuistra- \ion im reference to Cuba. It is thought probable that hopes of a sale of the island nave been incited in the breast of Fish aad others when once the pride and dignity of Spam have been vindicated, and that, without any intention of carrying out tneir positive or implied promises, the unprincipled and slippery politicians at the head of the Spanish government are only anxious to gain ume for @ settlement of affairs at home, and for some settlement of their pecuniary dificul- ties which will enable them to snap their fingers In the face of the great republic, which they and the whole Spanish people hate with an intensity equal to their fear. However this may be, it is certain this war 18 not to be ended in a few weeks or months, but, on the contrary, will fli up the measure of another year with ail its changes and vicls- neudes. i ‘The interest regarding the insurreotion is still cen- tred in the campaign of Puello in Camaguey, of whom’at this writing we have beard nothing. ‘the vanjo, in that jurisdic tion, where they united with Martinez and Vivas, in that place Lieuten- them from place to place, and 10, ‘attack them, followil Cuusing twenty-four doatns, capturing the usually meationed mantities of arms, provisions, &¢c. It s claimed Relott, “the role was wounded iu one of the encounters recently.

Fourteen slaves had escaped from the same estate and reached the insurgents, From the same journal we learn of the recapture of the coasting sloop Vatalan. ‘This vessel sailed from Mansanillo on the 2ist of November for Cien- 1uegos, and was captured by the insurgents, of which the Spanish press at the time made no mention. Learning of her whereabouts the commanders of the war steamers Guadalquiver and Garrion left their anchorage at Santa Crug on the 11th for ber capture. At three P. M, they arrived off the stream Micurije, up which two boais were sent irom the steamers, carrying eighty-five marmes ana troops and one piece of artillery. ‘They succeeded in taking the sloop, which was burned. ae also captured a canoe, with twocarbines, destroyed another, burned two ranches aud two boats, aud caused the enemy, Wo offered some resistance, to fly. ‘the account states that the insurgents had constructed two canoes, in which to bring arms from the Keys, south of tue isiand, to the coast, and that the Catalan was em- ployed to go to Calman to lighten ships, 80 that her destruction will prove @ serious loss to the iusur- ents. . The Opictal Gazette publishes what purports to be an address from Joaquin Carvalio, late an insurgens clef, to the Cubans, caliing on them to lay down their'arms, and claiming that the provisional gov- ernment has granted to Cuba all those rights to se- cure whion the revolution was iaaugurat From some captured documents of the insurgents it seems an election has taken piace in ‘irimidaa by which ©, Antonio Lorda was elected Governor and C. Mariano Jimiriz Lieutenant Governor. ‘There 18 a foolish rumor here, to which the Diario has given place tn its columns, said to have orur- nated m Puerto Principe, Wiat Quesada and Mar.nol have beea relieved froia command and subjected to court marual, and that Jordan tas beea made com. mander-in-cluel, A portion of the village of Satvo, in Cienfuegos, has been burned to ashes by the imsurgent cluel Benito Noe. ‘The Voz de Cuba of last evening published a r- sumé of operations im the Ctuco Villas during December, from which it appears that only ten of the thirty-one days of that mouth passed without au encounter With the insurgents, waich argues well for the “complete pacification’? of that district. Colonel D. Francisco Benegasi has at last been heard from. He arrived here on the 19th, and has veen for some time suifering from a severe wound, received, as say tie Journals now, on the march be- tween Gibara and Hoiquin. Wich the usual reti- cence of tue Spaniards, in anything at all unfavora- ble to their cause, no mention was made of the encounter or the wounding of this officer.

As unger the passport the action of the Columbia in bringing him here was justifiaole, Captain Van Sice naturally objeccis to nis ship being made a boarding house for political prisoners, and threatens to send the wan ol his vessel unless his fare is paid to New York. The British Consul has interested himself in tne mattec, but up to near the hour of the steamer sailing notn- ing has been done.

Increase of Complainte—An Extra Trial Day— Beating a Greenhorn—Collecting Debts. Were any further evidence wanting of the rapid demoralization that ts taking possession of the po- lice force and spreading through nearly ail previncws it 18 found in the largely increasing number of com- plaints against oflicers made before the Commis- sioners, Some ody must be to blame for this—the Commissioners in the administration of the depart- ment, or the captains of the precincts in failing to exercise proper discipline. So rapidly have com- plaints passed into the chief cierk’s ofice that the Board has set apart an extra triai day, aod hereafter cases will be heard every Monday, Wednesday and Friday of each week in public, and cases that it 1s sought to keep quiet at such time and place as may be decided upon. Yesterday Commissioner Bosworth presided at trials and heard evidence in about forty-five com- plaints against oMicers for neglect of duty, violation of rules, &c. There were two or three interesting cbarges of improper conduct heard. Devective McGibney, of the Third precinct, ap- peared on complains of Samuet Lord, of Boston, Mass. Lord, who ts a genteclly dressed man, and apparently trathrul, but ae in sharpness, puis in @ long bill of grievances. le charged that on the 2lat instant (Saturday) he entered a fence No. 233 Broadway and was swindled out of $150 by the envelope game; reported his loss to Captain Ulman, who sent MeGibney with him to recover the money or arrest all the inmates. On the way to the place McUibney advised him to listen to no compromise unless the parties would reiund the amount; that on entering he pointed out one of the men, Jack Rovin- son, a8 one of the swindiers. McGibney conversed wih the men, wnen they offered him twenty-five dollars. He refused to take it. McGibney again con- versed with them and they proposed flity ‘dollars, which he refused to take. He swore that the omcer recommended him to take the money; that tney Hnally offered $100; he persisted in receiving $125, which they deciined to pay; he then asked MoGib- ney to make an arrest, aud he did so, but hesitated about taking them to the station house, and when asked =r declared that he wanted to give tuem an opportunity to get bail. He also states that McGib- ney took him out for a walk before making the ar- rest, and urged lil to compromise; that the accused were admitted to $1,000 bail and he was looked up in the House of Detention, McGibney called detective Willoughby, Jack Rob- inson and the well known Louis Pike, a retormed offender, who flatiy contradicted the complainant's assertions. Lord swore that the witnesses for the defence perjured themselves, The case was reier- red to a full Board for judgment. Au interesting case Was that of oficers Campbell and Baker and Sergeant Callahan, of the Forty- fourth precinct, who were charged by a Scotchman named Fairbairn, of Fulton, ‘avenue, with testifying before Justice Reilly that they saw him beating some women ‘on the avenue, whereas they were not present, ‘he oiticers swore that they saw him strike the women, and that Fair- bairn was intoxicated. Fined fifteen dollars, and tie women were sent to the Penitentiary for sixty days. Samuel Smith, Fourteenth precinct, was arraigned for not Ee ae named Heury Heideiburger tor suit of clothes, made before he got on the force. As the suit was ordered before he was appointed sudge Bosworth announced that the Police Board was not in thé ousiness of collecting old debts. Micer Uni, Tenth precinct, was charged by Moritz Spiro with improper conduct. He swore (and proved it by several witnesses) that on the night of last Sun- day week Ubi came tw his piace, with one of his boarders who owed him, and ordered him to give the man his things. When he refused the officer struck him in the oreast, and said if it were not Sunday — he would arrest him. On the nextday the r came back, during bis absence, best his wife, and forced her to give up the boarder's effects. All the cases wore referred to asull Board fer judgmeat. — HAYTI. Close of Another Revolution of the Torrid Zone. Capture and Probable Fate of Salnaye— Organization of the New Govern- ment—The New Minister to Washington. The track of revolutions seems to lie near the equator. Within a brief year Spain nas been re- Meved from the oppressions and profiigacy of Isa- belis, Cuba has revolted at the crue! dominion of her parent land and at last Hayti ts free from the clutches of a dictatorial despot. Re markable facts like these demand the attention of the statesman and diplomat. They indicate that the conservative liberties of temperate latitudes are re- quired by peoples who dwell in the heated atmos- pherea of the torria zone; that revolutions are becoming a popular political cure and that tne one man power is fast vanishing from the face of the earth. we are enavied to lay before the readers of the HERALD to-day the closing scenes in the late revolutionary drama in Hayti, thus illustrat- ing by incident how soon an obnoxious President can be dethroned, how soon the wrecks of a political Mmuscarriage can be removed, and how soon a new government can be organized, showing that rebel- lions are but every day affairs after all. But they have their fatal effects upon trade, commerce and finance. From such disasters Hayti has not been exempt. THR CONDITION OF AFFAIRS ON THE ISLAND. Salnave was put to fight. ‘The late sagacious President, smarting under the vigorous lasn of the revolutiontsts, took to his heels and was victorious only in the conquest of a fleet pair of boom. But while Salnave flourished the revolution was a tell destroyer, During the conflict at Port au Prince One-third of the city was destroyed by fre, includ- ing government buildings and private houses; bus the rer classes suffered terribly and were left in total destitution: Over 200 lives were lost and 500 were wounded. Salnave fled toward the Spanish rt of the island. Proscription was proclaimed to ye the policy of the revolutionists and thirty-two were named as doomed. The ball was opened by shooung General Victorine on the 1st mst. CAPTURE OF SALNAVE. By tbe arrival at this port yesterday of the schooner Setagawa, in ten days, from Aux Cayes, we are in receipt of Maytien advices to the 1htn ist. The day before that on which the Seagawa left Aux Cayes intelligence was received there from Port au Prince that on Thursday, tho 13th inst, Sainave was captured, with 160 of his followers, in the mountains between Aquin aud Jacmel, about thirty miles from Port au Prince. ‘The ex-Presiuent was immediately taken to the capital and lodged in prison. It was reported at Aux Vayes that he would be jorthwith put on his trial, and it Was beueved ne wouid be shot, ‘Thursday, the 1st of February, had been fixed on for the election of a new Presiaent. On that day tue two Legislative Chambers would meet at Port au Prince. The people of Aux Cayes had cheerfully submitted to the provisional government. ‘Tran- quillity had been restored througuout the country; & numoer of exiles from Jamaicu aod other places were returning home, several of them resuming business in Hayti, and a feeling pervaded ali classes that brighter days were at hand, Business was getting quite brisk. The deliveries of cotlee were large at all the ports of shipment, and cotton was also coming ta freely, Gold dnd exciange were at 400 vo 450 nomln: Coffee was seliing at $3,000, Haytien currency; cotton at $500 and log- wood at $1,500, American provisions were in de- mand, GENERAL TRANQUILLITY. Meantime the triumphant parties have not been imert. A new government has been formed, tie confidence of the people has been restored and Nissage Saget, Who 1s satd to be a wise and temper- ate ruler, fills the Chief Magisteriai chair. ‘The value of Salnave’s issue of paper currency has beca recognized on the basis of $5,0v0 to one in goid, and that of the revolutionary party at $500 to one. This makes the finances unsettled aud causes consider- able discontent. Affairs generally, however, have subsided (0 an easy condition and litle fulure trouble is apprenended. ORGANIZATION OF THE GOVERNMENT. By decree given at the general quarters of Port au Prince on Decembor 27, 1569, tae provisivnai gov- ernment of the repubiic of Hayti Was formed us fol- lows:— President—Nissage Saget. Vico President—michel Domingue. Members of the Cabinet—Nord Alexis, Dupont, Jr., and Voimar Laporte. ‘The three iatter will take the oath (rom the Presi- dent. The members of the two revolutionary Councils of State, united under the denomination of the Consul- tative Council, will remain attached to the provi- sional government, On December 29 the provisional government issued. another decree, appointing the following publio o Mlicers:— Pierre Monplaisir Pierre, Department of General Police. Montmorency Benjamin, Minister of War ana jarine. Thimagene Rameau, Minister of Finance and Cominerce. David, the elder son, Minister of the Interior and Agriculture. Septimus Rameau, Minister of Justice and Public Instruction. Francois Faubert, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Religion. Until the arrival of the persons appointed the De- partment of Police wil remain under the charge of M. David, and M. ‘Thimagene Rameau will take cl of the Ministries of Justice, Public Instruc- uon, Religion and also Foreign Affairs. DIPLOMATIC BELATIONS—THE NEW MINISTER TO WASHINGTON. ‘The facility with which diplomatic relations have been established by Saget cau be seen in the appoint- ment of Messrs. Delmonte and A. Fulsom, in the parlance of States, as commissaires de ia repub- Uque d@ Haiti pres ‘le gourernment des Etats Unis, but really as ministers having the accredited powers of tull envoys. Mr. Delmonte is @ native of Hayti, a gentieman who thoroughly understands the condition of affairs in this country, and one wio will be an ornament to the diplomatic corps. He is agentieman of liberal education, aaving formeriy been an attaché of the HERALD. Jn a conversation with the HERALD reporter he said that General Tate had been informed of the change of minisiers and received the incelligence with much chagria, Mr. Fulsom 13 a1 America.

THE RESULT OF KEEPINS BAD COMPANY On Thursday night of last week as Joseph Carr, @ guest at the Tremont House, was passing up Broad- way he formed the acquaintance of a ‘soiled dove” who gives her name as Mary Smith, Care somewhat advanced in years and Mary @ gushing, plump, good ooking female of the blonde persuasion. She had not much difMculty in turning the head of this virtuous (?) personage. Arriving at the corner of Hleventh street, they tarned towards University place, and when about half way down the block, secreted themselves under a stoop, where they remained un- disturbed for some time. As Mary was on the point of taking an affectionate farewell of Joseph he placed Tis hand where his wallet should be, but it had mysteriously disappeared. By this time Mary bad gained the sidewalk, when her companion started on a double quick after her, ex- claiming, ‘‘not for Joseph,’”’ but was met py two more ns as he was avout leaving the gateway who reated his exit. They compelled pim to jad got out of remain under the lag 4 until Mary sight, when tney let him out.
