Those who remember Aux C'ayes before ihe
dliMtlOUl hurricano of the |:Ith August wasted
nine-lenlhs of the city, and left two-thirds an irrr-triaabU
ruin, speak with raj lure of the verdure
and agreeable variety which (he lanes and path-ways
presented for morn in y and evening walks.
From the sea it was greeted by the mariner as
the City of I'alms. Nothing could surpass the
frcbh a?>pect of houses and gardens amid well-watered
favannas in such a climate. Its streets
had been polluted by the slaughter of the revo-lution,
but the fire had never carried dt'vaslntiun
here aa elsewhere. People who sow it, before
its last calamity, saw an unehaaged eily of the
ancient colony ; and if the wild green aspect of
the plains could only have been imagined to be
the bright carpet of its former industry, there was
nothing either in the orderly manner in winch
the streets were kept, or in the state and enter-tainment
of the houses, or in the social intercourse
of liie inhabitants, their nppcarance, and courte-ous
affability, which were calculated to recall by-gone
limes of the old and haughty regime. The
DAW houses of Purt-au-Prince greatly Mirpass
the best of the domestic architecture here; but
the general aspect of this place, before its des-truction,
was superior to it. Its air is better-it,*
oMnUtte a chilly spring time, compared to the
warm suflbrating blasts of the Presidential City,
and its police and military government an exnm
p!e of activity tu the sleepy negligence that prevail;
eLewhere. In atmosphere it has no advantage
t'ver the Copt*. It did not at all approach the
Northern Capital in splendor, but one-half of its
inhabitants did not roost, like bats, in walls and

Towards sundown the white and sparkling sky,
over whirh not a vapor had been floating in mass,
began lo gather cloudy, and dull, and so quick

that every one seemed to feel a curious wonder-ment

they were broad undulations, not a single billow-was

When the day broke the hurricane was lulled

Rich, who was ihen solicitor general,
was sent to confer with him; but he was very
cautions in his replies, and was only inveigled to
say, that any question, with regard to law, which

destroy his body. This expression was sufficient
