The editor OF the "Richmond Republican" Is
playing with edged tools. Whilst he Is enueizins
other peoples verses, which he would IN vain al
,smpt TO initiate, he ought to reeoect his own mis-
sruble dogr srel poem which he printed some years
.go-the laughing-stock Of the day IN which aP-
Dsared, and the formidable rival OF Mcmahon
himself. A copy Of his illustrious poem was saved
from the flames, TO which his plying friends would
have condemned il at the time, and is now forth
coming in Richmond, to show his brilliant qualiea
dOns as a writer as well as a critic of verses


HAYTI-PREsIDENTs RIcHE AND PlERRoT.


10 letter from Cape Hayden, under date Of April
8, we knd the following de:ais concerning the new
President of Hayu. Gen. Richie, and his predecessor
President Pienot President Richie arrived on the 4th
ins, and will remain at the cape about month
longs. The projected expedition against the Span
sh part Of the island has been relinquishsd and Il is
now hoped some pacific arrangement may be made
between the black population and the Domnieans


Mr.. Duprey, minister Of marine and Of foreign
lairs the most influential counsellor Of the Pres
dent. He u said TO be man Of much intelligence,
and was formerly a merchant at Port au-Prince.
Being qaAdrson, however, 1t is feared that the
jealousy OF the negro leaders may destroy his in
apenee Pierot, the ex-president Of the republic,
remains at his private residenee several miles from
the cape, attended by retinue Of abOu, 300 men.
This body guard is now allowed him, because his
military authority no longer causes any uneasnesI.
Rche, however still seems 10 dread his secret inhu-
snoe, for he refused to enter the city through the
iriumphal arch called Belle Entre, which had been
constructed in his honor, saying that Pierrot had
doubtless put Ooi in it to do him harm. For the
same reason he refused the apartments which Pier
rot had occupied in the national palace. For sew
,ra years Pierrot has passed as the chief king,
pope, Of the Vaudeux, . supersttous sect which
said to have dealings in the Obi magic, so famous
u Jamaica. The mystic rites OF this sect are pro-
Aibitsd by law; but Notwithstanding this, they are
celebrated throughout the island.


When President Richie entered the city, there
we're observed In his escort three officers, Col Des-
slns Col Boyer, and Gen. Pierot, being the sons
Of three ex-presdentS Of the republic; the first Of
whom was assassinated, the second exiled, and the
Aird dethroned.
