We ha«e received by the late arrivals from
Hayti, a report made, to Qhtystophe (the
rival of Pi-tioii for the supreme authority*)
pbutaining the details of the. late expedition
to Gonaives, Which. IV- in it length, and {he
uninteresting naYare' 01 several paris of it,
we think unnecessary to publish enure, con-
tenting oj!>eives with inak.og Sufficient
extracts to give our readers a general idea >t
the state of tilings which at present
in that ill-fated island : [K- /
"The eity of Gonaives had f-r a long
time been the centre and rendezvous ot the
emissaries of the rebel Pel ion. It was tr.-m
this new Cnblei.tz, that some of Ills partisans
under the ridiculous denomination of ft ires
de foil (brethren of color) kepi up a cor-
respondence with Port-au-Prince, and ac
quaiiited the enemy with every movement
of our army. The sudden and necessary
arrest of seme of these conspirators seemed
to have intimidated the remainder, and ar
rested the progress of the evil; but. it was
only a temporary calm. His excellency the
President of Hayti had scarctly left that
place for the purpose of suppressing some
i'lsur.ectionary movements at Gres Morne,
when an eM>< dition of 16 or 17 sail, in which
were noticed several Aroericai vessels, and
particularly the ship of a certain adventurer,
Whose name is Lewis, the professed and ser-
vile creature of the traitor Petion, appeared
before Gonaives on the 28th of May; having
on board a number of troops ready lor dis-
embarkation. Gi n. Mafeny, who command-
ed the place, defended it obstinately with a
garrison of oniy 60 men, cut his way thro'
the revellers, after having rilled the streets
with their dead bodies, and retreated with
his men in good order to Pongaud.in, at the
di-trance of a league and half, where he re-
niaini d for a week without the revolters hav-
jag ever daitii to attack hirn or to pass the
limits of the city.
His excellency v as no sooner made ac-.
quainted with this state of things, than he
directed general Magny and colonel Jason to
dislodge the rebels and drive them into the
sea: this order was no sooner given than
executed : our troops with a manly confi-
dence entered the city- the revolters panic
struck, (ltd without ever pretending to
make any resistance, and evacuating the
city in disorder, ran precipitately to two
forts, which they had erected and put in a
state of defence on the sea shore, but nei-
ther their works nor their cannon, nor even
the vessels which they had drawn up to pro-
tect them, could shield them from the at-
tacks, or repress the ardor of our brave sol-
diers.
After a cannonade of three days (from
the 7th to the 9th of June) during which a
g;eat number of the rebels were killed, they
were forced to evacuate the place entirely
on the night of the 10th, leaving the. shore
covered with the dead, dying and wrtunded.
The whole of their vessels se'; Sail in the
morning towards Port-au-Prinee.
Thus notwithstanding tin; treason which
existed at Gonaives amoijg some weak or
wicked men—neitlver Petion, nor his ad-
herents.have seen his <;fforts,_ crowned with
success : they have been every where van-
quished and obliged to fly in a shameful,
manner : .the mer? name alone of the presi-
dent of Hayti, was sufficient to conquer, to
annihilate them.
What do they want ? What ,vrmld these
agita'ors, these scourges of society have .'
How long, willthey tcntinue to beg the pa-
tiense of the chief of the stare. Are tfsey
unacquainted v ith the means he possesses
of reducing them to dust ? A sword, sus-
pended by a hair hangs over their heads,
and yet they dare to irritate him ! To whom
docs the authority belong if 7&t to the stron-
gest ?

Insurances in England.
In the present important crisis and critical
situation of the political relations between
the United States and Great-Britain, we have
deemed it a portion of our duty to draw the
attention of our mercantile friends to a mat-
ter well worthy of their serious considera-
tion
The very large amount of American pro-
perty which is insured in England, is well
known to every mercantile man, it is there-
fore worth an inquiry into the probable fate
of these insurances in the event of war be-
tween the two countries.. It is very clear
that by special act of parliament no insurance
made on the property of an enemy is valid,
but it it as not -yet been decided whether in-
surance made prior to the commencement of
war, does not become void. It i5 very clear
that such insurances cannot be recovered by-
law during t.ke. •w.r.
The following extract from a work of great
learning (rVJar. oil Ins. p. 30) may be accept-
able to our mercantile'friends. The learned
author having stated the law as to insurances
upon enemies' property, and added some ar
guments upon the impolicy of permitting
such insurances, thus proceeds :
" But be this as it may, two cases have
occurred during the present war, in which,
though it has not been expressly determined
that these insurances are illegal, yet it has
been decided, that no action can be main-
tained on any policy, at the suit or on the
behalf of an alien enemy, at least during Trie
war, whether the insurance be made before
or after the commencement of the war, and
though the g»ods insured be of Bi itish ma-
nufacture, and shipped before the war began.
These cases, independent of any parliamen-
tary restraint, must in future throw a great
impediment, at least, in the way of such
insurances.
"The first of them was an action* on a
policy upon goods on board the (!¦-.¦¦-. '
an .American ship, effected 1 a pass-
ing of the stat. 33 G. l!i. c. 3.7, " at and
from London to Bayoone." It was averred
in the declaration, that the policy was ef-
fected on acconnt of certain persons therein
named, who were interested in the goods,
and that the ship was captured by the Eng-
lish. The defendant pleaded lirst, that the
persons interested werealiens, born inFrance,
within the allegiance of the French king ;
that before the ship sailed a war broke out
between the king of Great Britain and the
persons exercising the powers of govern-
nient inFrance ; that the persons interested
were inhabiting and comniorant in France,
under the government there ; and that they
were enemies of our king, and adhering to
his enemies, &c. Secondly, Tnat the de-
fendants were living in France, and enemies
of the king, and that the goods weie sent
from London, after the commencement of
the war, for tre purpose of being landed in
France, and delivered in a course of trade
to the knif,'s enemies. To the. iirst of these
pleas, the plaintiff replied thatr.the persons
interested were indebted \ |
