NEW-YORK, June 4.

Captain Sanford, of the schooner Greyhound, arrived on Saturday in 16 days from Cape-Francois brings the melancholy intelligence of the murder of all the white French inhabitants of St. Domingo.

This bloody work commenced in Port-au-Prince about the middle of May.—An account of it was soon received and published at the Cape, and immediately after about five and twenty hundred persons, men, women and children, indiscriminately, were deliberately massacred there.

It was general about the same time in every place which the blacks possess. It is evident, from the care with which they selected their victims, that the plan has been long formed, and deliberately matured.—None but French have suffered, and of them hardly one has escaped. Every care had been taken to prevent the white inhabitants from leaving the island; row boats were employed to board and examine every vessel going out of the harbour.—

A short time before the massacre took place thirty passengers were found in a schooner, which had got out of the harbour, bound to St. Thomas, and, with the crew, they were immediately put to death. At Port-au-Prince between five and six hundred persons fell under the bloody hatchet of the Haitians, and the warm stream of blood which ran from them, quenched the thirst of their murderers, who went on their knees to receive it. Dessalines has published a proclamation, justifying the extermination of the French, and offering fifteen days to the Spaniards, who occupy the eastern part of St. Domingo, to determine either to submit to him, or share the fate of the French: he has sixty thousand men ready to march against them, and is determined no European shall hold any power on the island. 'Tous,' says he, 'did his work by halves; but I will complete it.'
