Reduction and pacification of the Insurrection of the Grande Anse, (Hayti.)

By Captain Martin, of the Schr. Sterling, of this port, arrived from Jeremie, we learn the final reduction of the insurrection which (under Count Goman, one of Christophe's nobles) has so long desolated that fair portion of the republic of Hayti.

This insurrection which broke out in 1807, immediately after the destruction of the soi-disant emperor Dessalines, was undertaken by his partisans, to avenge his death, and persevered in ever since with unabated fury and various success. It produced a powerful diversion in favor of Christophe, who succoured it from time to time, with such means as he could spare from his own immediate defence.

The numerous expeditions sent against it by the late President Petion, had from various causes failed of success, and left the Insurgents in full possession of the inexpugnable strong hold of the interior, from whence they issued forth, at their pleasure, carrying destruction and death wherever they went--in the course of its ravages not a village or seaport on a coast of 60 leagues in extent had escaped a temporary possession and pillage by those brigands.

The firmness of the peaceable part of the inhabitants, aided by the powerful means which the President Boyer has employed against them, has at length put an end to this horrid state of things.

An event of this nature cannot, it is presumed be viewed without some interest by the commercial part of this community, who formerly carried on an extensive trade to the quarter in question, and this interest must augment when we consider the present circumscribed bounds of our trade to the West Indies.

It will be recollected that this quarter, agreeably to official documents, shipped in 1789, the astonishing quantity of upwards of 30 millions of produce, principally coffee; and though since that epoch things have much declined, the first arrondissement in the republic, having produced only 5 millions of coffee last year, yet it will assist our readers in forming a true estimate of the relative importance of this fertile quarter to inform them, that the present crop of 1820, will not (in coffee and cocoa,) be less than five millions, with every prospect of an annual augmentation, which may be calculated on with certainty from its superiority over every other in the republic--as well as it respects the industrious habits of the planters and cultivators, as the nature of its soil and climate; and the great number of new plantations now under cultivation. Possessing such ample means, for carrying on foreign trade, it will hardly be believed that not a single American, or other foreign vessel regularly frequents the ports of the Grande Anse.

[Capt. M. informs us that the first object which arrested his attention on his arrival at Jeremie, was the exposure of the heads of sixteen of the ringleaders of the insurrection, placed on pikes in a public part of the town.]
