Extract of a letter from Port-au-Prince, dated Oct. 25.
"I have the pleasure of informing you, that peace is once more made between the Whites and Mulattoes, on Saturday last, the 22d inst. and yesterday 2500 of the latter marched with their arms into town, and paraded in company with the former before the church; at which time the inhabitants, with the officers of each party, entered the church, and sung Te Deum.
