Succor Extended to Both Combatants, and Protection Given to tho Prussian and other Consuls and Alien Citizens of Cape Haytien, Ac., Ac., &c. [From the N. Y. Herald, 17th.] The Jamaica steamship Montezuma arrived at tiiis port last evening, with details of the"* bombardment of Cape Haytien .by the British duop-of-war, Bull Dog and the|destruction*of that vessel. L The United States steamer De Soto had ar rived at Kingston with thirty-six refugees from E* Cape Haytien, among them the Consuls of Prussia and Hamburg, and sailed again, carry ing some of them back to Cape Haytien, in cluding the Prussian Consul. General Salnave, the rebel leader, was apiong the persons killed at Cape Haytien by the shots of the British ship-of-war Boll Dog. Particulars of the affair at Cape Haytien, tent to the Kingston papers, say that a compact of some kind was entered into between the captain of the Bull Dog and President Gef- frard, who had three steamers of war under his command, the understanding being that the Bull Dog should be supported in obtaining re- |l dress for the firing into the steamer Jamaica Backet, in a small harbor near Cape Haytien, ■ by the rebel steamer Voldroque. The Bull bog ordered tb8 Voldroque to desist, when her captain reported the matter to Gen. Sal- L. nave, who forcibly removed all the Haytien refugees from the British Consnlate. The Bull Hog entered the port of Cape Haytien, closely followed by the Haytien steamers. She steer ed towards the Voldroque with the intention of running her down, but she unfortunately grounded. Her guns were, however, ranged on the Voldroque, which she sank in three trinities. The Bull Dog then opened fire on the shore. The arsenal was blown up and all die forts quickly silenced and dismantled. It being impossible to get the Bull Dog off, she was abandoned and blown up. l.ater advices say that another British ship- of-war, the Lily, had sailed for Cape Haytien. Humor said that General Lamotbe, one of Bj the leaders of the insurrection, would be al lowed to depart'himself. Another rumor said be would be handed over to the Haytien gov- ■ foment. » . - * Kingston, Jamaica, Nov. 1, 1B65. C'ljiti're of a Geffrard Steamer by the Rebel Haytien Fleet. The British war steamer Bull Dog, which has been lying in this harbor for the past six or seven weeks, proceeded to sea on the mom-’ 13 k of the 16th instant, ostensibly for the pur pose of target practice with her great guns, so say her officers). She was preceded, on be evening previous by the Haytien rebel war e et, consisting of the steamer Voldroque and our schooners, which were bound to Gonaives w the purpose of capturing some of Geffrard’* 'teatners at or near that place. The fleet ar- it ed oft that place,.and on the following morn- brotmi?. 8tean * er Voldroque gave chase and fought to a Steamer without colors or nation- ^ ,a pp arenUy, the crew of which took to tbetr boats and deserted the ship upon the an- ^•eh of the Voldroque. ^ The Bull Dog Wrests the Prize from the Rebel Fleet. " j The Voldroque was about to take possession of the abandoned vessel when suddenly a, gun fired from the British steamer Bull Dog, which was in the vicinity at the time and was rapidly approaching from another direction, warned the Voldroque off the chase. This gun was followed by a second and a shot across the bows of the Voldroque. She stopped, and the Bull Dog coming up forbade her overhauling the steamer, stating that she was an English steamer, under English colors and carrying the British mails. The captain of the Vol droque then stated that he knew the vessel to be a Haytien steamer and in the employ of the Geffrard government, carrying troops and mu nitions of war; and, furthermore, he believed that President Geffrard and some of his cabi net were on board at the time. In the mean while, while the Voldroque was detained by this parley, the boats returned to the steamer, and they then hoisted English colors. The captain of the Bull Dog insisted that the steamer was a bona fide British vessel on a legitimate voy age. Right of Search Refused the Voldroque. Tho captain of the Veldroque then requested permission to search the steamer in company with officers from the Bull Dog. This the captain of the Bull Dog positively refused, and insisted upon the validity of the nationality of th| steamer in question. The Voldroque, not being permitted to overhaul the steamer, re turned to Cape Hatyien in company with the (chooners, and followed by the Bull Dog, which arrived in port next morning. Refusal of ihe Cape Haytien Authorities to let the Boat of the Bull Dog Land. Shortly before the arrival of the Bull Dog a boat was despatched on shore upon some doty connected with the ship. The boat was not per mitted to land, and the officer therein was in- forned that no boats from the Bull Dog could land unless by superior force in arms. Accord ingly a heavily armed launch was dispatched, with orders, if possible, to effect a landing. This they failed to do, however, having been met by a “charge bayonets” from the infantry. The crew concluded to remain in their boat, but were per mitted to bring off the English Consul, Mr. Dut ton, to the Bull Dog. Preparing to iMnd by Force of Anns. Immediately upon the return of the boat bear ing the Consul active preparations for a fight were noticed on tho Ball Dog. The topgallant and royal yards were struck and topagallant- masts sent down, anchor hove short, a spring upon the cable, and a full bead of steam was gotten up. The Consul was permitted to land again, but no further communication was per mitted between the Bull Dog and the shore, un less what afterwards came through tho boats of the United States steamer De Soto and under the American flag. Preparations of the Haytiens for Defense. The news of the Bnll Dog’s conduct having spread like wildfire among the inhabitants of the Cape, they became greatly exasperated at the conduct of the English commander. The people were all out and under arms. Horsemen dashed through the streets, carrying the news. The women came out of their houses armed with long knives, and vowed to wreak vengeance upon the English prown if they attempted to land. They broke upon the English Consulate, and took therefrom some seven or eight refugees belong ing to Geffrard, who were concealed there lor protection, and held them as hostages. The Bull Dog Goes For and Returns with Rein forcements from Geffrard’s Fleet. Friday and Saturday passed without anything occurring worthy of note, until Sunday morning, 22d inst., when the Bull Dog got under weigh to pr« teed to sea,to avoid a conflict with the authori ties on shore. She carried with her the British and American oonsuls, the latter having through out the whole affair bohavod most outrageously, and disgraced the American flag which he repre sented. The Bull Dog returned from sea on the following morning (Monday), accompanied by three of Geffrard’s steamers, which remained in the offing outside the harbor, but were to have entered tho same in company with her. ‘ The Bombardment Opened. Immediately upim getting abreast of Fort Pioolet, at the entrance of the harbor, at hall- past eight o’clock in the morning, she opened fire upon the fort, and poured in two heavy broadsides without any notice. The men in the fort were scattered out uuon the ramparts, and little dreamed of what was coming; but they soon manned their pieces and responded with three or four guns. The Bull Dog, however, did not stop, but steamed boldly into the harbor and commen ced firing upon the town with shell and grape, and, with a full head of steam on, started to run down the Haytien war steamer Voldroqne and the rest of the fleet. But upon getting about one hundred yards from the Voldroque she ran ashore, and with such terrible force that all at tempts to back her off by reversing the engines proved fntiie. She, however, was .not idle, but poured broadside after broadside into th, open town—upon defenceless women and ohildren, foreigners, aliens and all alike. Incidents of the Bombardment. Lieut. Cbmmander Howell, Executive Offi cer of the United States ship. De Soto, and some other officers, together with a boat’s .crew, were on shore upon duty, and miraculously es caped with their lives to their boat, the shells from the Bull Dog falling thick and fast. Captain Walker, commanding the United States steamer De Soto, astonished at the bar barity, of the act, sent a boat on board the Bull Dog to know why her commander, Captain Wake, was acting in the manner he was with out first notifying him of his intention to bom bard the town, as he had promised to do, and also without notifying the foreign consuls and aliens. The Non-Combatants Brought on Board th.e De Solo. » Meanwhile, and at great risk to life, that Christian gentleman and brave and good man, Captain Walker, dispatched his boats, under the command of Lieut. Commander Howell, and other officers of the De Soto, through tho midst of a heavy fire from both tho English steamer and the Haytien batteries on shore, for the purpose of bringing the foreigners and all who wished for protection under the Ameri can flag. Five foreign consuls, representing respectively the countries of Prussia, Belgiunff France, Hamburg and Oldenburg, and fifty other persons, male and female, of all nation alities, placed themselves under the protection of the American flag, and were conveyed to the United States ship De Soto, which vessel had in the meantime got up steam and steamed out of danger from the contending parties. Much praise is due to Captain Walker and the offi cers of the DeSoto for the gallant manner in in which they rescued and brought off the peo ple from shore and placed them out of danger. Sinking of t he Voldroque and a Schooi(tr—The • Bull Bog Ashore-, r At the first commencement the Bnll Dog, having failed in her attempt to rurf* down the Haytien fleet, poured a heavy fire into them, and succeeded in sinking the Voldroque and the largest of the schooners, whose crews were mostly all on shore, and were unable to offer resistance until too late. Reply of Commander Wake to Captain Walker's Inquiry. Commander Wake, of the Bull Dog, in reply to Captain Walker’s message as to why lie fired in to the town without previous notice, said that he sppeffied to “Amerieatr generosity/’ and hoped that Captain Walker would not taka advantage of hia unfortunate position, as ha waa than in a tight place. I The Bull Dog Asks For Aid. [ The Bull Dog kept up an incessant fire upon the town nil day, and late in the afternoon sent to Captain Walker and begged that he would take a hawser from him and tow him off, promising to cease firing and leave the harbor if he did so; if not, he stated he would be unable to get. off, and would be compelled to blow his ship up. Captain Walker Takes the Wounded of the Dull ■ Dog on Board hie Vessel. Captain Walker declined doing so or offering him further assistance in tbe affair; but offered to take bis wounded on board, which Captain Wake gladly availed himself of, and sent his wounded on board the De Soto for medical treat ment and safe keeping. Surgeon Kidder provid ed everything in his power for the comfort of the men in question. The Bull Dog Continued the Bombardment until snndown, when both parties ceased firing. During tbe engagement she had one officer and two men killed and fifteen men wounded. Hu Bull Dog Blown Up. After dusk, finding that he could not get his ship off that evening, and could not hope to be reinforced by the De Soto and fearing that the enemy, under cover of night, would take advan tage of it and erect more Batteries Captain Wake determind to abandon her, and without further consultation with the De Soto took to his boats and pulled quftlly out of the harbor, none else knowing of what wa3 going on save tffe British crew. At exactly halt past ten o’clock P. M. a most terrible explosion took place, which shook the De Soto from stem to sterD. Her Britannic Majesty’s war steamer Bull Dog was no more.— High in the heavens were seen fallen timbers. Dangerous Proximity of the De Soto to the Ex ploded Vessel. The De Soto at the time of the explosion was scarcely eight hundred yards distant, and the danger was indeed great, although luckily no accident happened. Immediately all the boats of the De Soto were manned and offi cered and despatched to the scene of the wreck, to pick up or rescue any bodies that might be seen. But upon arriving there they found that she had evidently been deserted previous to the explosion. Countless explosions followed all the rest of the night, caused by the burst ing of the few remaining shells and other combustible materials. • Nothing remains at present of the haughty Bull Dog but her smoke stack and a portion of her machinery. The Bull Dog Was a bark-rigged paddle-wheel steamer of 1,112 tons burthen, and five hundred horse power. She carried a battery of six guns, viz: four heavy thirty-two pounders on broadside, one ten-inch smooth-bore pivot and one rifled Armstrong, throwing a solid shot of one hun dred and ten pounds. Her complement, in clusive of officers, seamen and marines, was one hundred and seventy-five all told. Barbarous Conduct of Copt. Wake. The action of the Bull Dog was one of the most barbarous on record. The foreign con suls hav'e all protested against the action, and had it not been for the protection offered un* der the American flag and the United States ship De Soto, it is not known how much more terrible the result would have been. Much praise is due to that noble officer and Chris tian gentleman, Captain W. M. Walker, Uni ted States Navy,, commanding United States steamer De Soto, for bis gallant conduct upon the occasion. America may well be proud of such officers as Captain Walker. He prom ised every comfort for the ladies—who were mostly French and Spanish—received on board; and his officers, one and all, gave up their state-rooms, berths, table, &c.,- and every com fort that American hospitality could offer was tendered to tbe distressed. The Haytien Rebel Wur Fleet consisted of the Voldroque, a British built sorow steamer of four hundred tons burthen. She was a three masted, schooner rigged vessel, and car ried a Uatteryjof four twelve pounder earronades on broadside. She did not return the fire, as she had not sufficient steam up to get under way, and most of her orew were on shore. There were also four fchooccrs, the largest of which carried one long eighteen-pounder pivot and-two twolve- poundor oorronades on broadside. The Voldroque was formerly one of Geffrard’s blockading vessels, and was captured by the four schooners in ques tion in the latter part of September, after a spiri ted engagement of bdt half an hour. The Commander of tire Haytien Fleet. The Haytien fleet was under the command of our captain, Pablo L. Villanuova, an American by birth, a thorough seaman and a man ot educa* tion, who was formerly mate of a Boston dipper ship. The three smaller schooners oarried oach one twelve pounder bronze gun on pivot. Tbe fleet carried a battery of ten guns, all told. Cap tain Villanueva was on board of the Voldroque at the time of her sinking, superintending the getting up of steam himself, his engineer being on shore and quite ill. He-sank with bis colors fly ing and a blood rod flag at the main (the Haytien battle flag). He, with others of. his crew, 1 clung to-ihe masts and rigging of the vessel, with rifle men from the tops of tbe Eoglish vessel picking them off as fast as they a ppeared above the watqp, and until rescued from the unfortunate position by a bokt from the United States ship De Soto, under Lieutenant Sumner; and had it not be in for the humanity of the American officer they would probably have perished. The Quit Dog allowed no chanoe of escape to the conquered, not granting even quarter. The sharks which in fest the harbor were enemy enough upon such an occasion without an addition from sharpshooters while clinging for dear ’life to the mastheads of their sunken ship. , - Inefficiency of the Blockade of Cape Haytien• There are now but two steamers composing the blockading squadron off' Cape Haytien, and the - chances for blockade running are indeed favorable. The Crew of the Bull Dog at Lemonade. Tb-day one of the bests, which communicated with the Geffrard troops on the side, beard that the officers and crew of the late Bull Dog arrived at Lemonade after the destruction of their ves sel, and from whence they took their departure in oDe of Geffrard’s steamers for Kingston, Jamaica. Explanation of Capt. Wake's Appeal to Capt Walker not to Fire at Him. The officer in charge of the boat, Acting Master Brice, was informed by our American Consul, Mr. Folsom, that Commander Wake, of the Bull Dog, while agrbund and engaging the enemy, not only expected, but greatly feared, that the United States steamer De Soto would opeo fire upon his ship. He was convinced of this by observing tbe De Soto getting np steam and standing out of range of tbe shore batteries and coming to a position where the De Soto’s S ans could rake the Bull Dog. This evidently is ie reason why, in his reply to Commander Walker, be appealed to American generosity not to take advantage of his unfortunate position, and also bis promise to cease firing upon the town and leave tbe harbor, if Caj)t. • Walker would tow him off. Haring failed to elicit as sistance from the De Soto, and fearing that the De Soto would attack him after her refusal of as sistance, for his berbarious conduct and viola tion of his promises to Captain Walker, not under any circumstances to open fire upon the town without previous notice, in order to give time to bring offthe foreign population, probably led him do blow up hia ship and steal quietly out of the harbor in hia own boats under cover of tbe night. . ,Journal of cm Officer of the De isoto. The following is an extract from the journal of an officer regarding the action of tbe Roll Dog. Tbe officer wae on board the De Soto, and witnessed the whole affair from her deoku From 8 a. in. to meridian, wind variable, from south to southwest; weather clear and fine, thermometer (in shade) 90 degrees, bar ometer 30 degrees 5 minutes. At 8.33 H. B. M. steamer Bull Dog made her appearance offthe mouth of the harbor, in company with three Haytien (Geffrard) war steamers. Lieut. Commanding Howell return ed on board, hanging off the families of the Prussian and Belgian codsuIs. At a quarter to 9 o’clock, when abreast of Fort Picolet, the Bull Dog opened fire on the same, and about five minutes later the fort re- urned the fire. At ten minutes to nine we started Ar8s under the main boilers for the pur pose of getting up steam, and sent Lieut. Read in the second cutter with a message to the Bull Dog. Lieut. Read was unable to board her, and returned to the ship. The Bull Dog hav ing entered the harbor, stood for |he rebel steamer Voldroque at full speed, and using her starboard battery upon the city and from her tops firing rifles at the people on shore and at the crew of the Voldroque. When within short musket range of the Voldroque, and going at full speed, and abreast of the “turret Detaing,” the Bull Dog grounded, and was unable to ex tricate herself from her perilous position, being within point blank range of a heavy masked buttery on shore, which immediately opened fire upon her, as also did numerous sharp shooters and riflemen. A fragment of a shell from the Bull Dog striking an English block ade runner, she was immediately abandoned by her captain and crew, who came on board this vessel for protection. Hove short, and sent Lieutenant Read to the Bull’ Dog with a mes sage to her commander. Lieutenant Read suc ceeded in boarding her, and through the midst of a heavy fire, at twenty minutes to 9 o’clock Lieut. Commander Howell returned in the launch, bringing off a large number of persons, among whom were the Hamburg and Oldenburg consuls, who claimed protection under our flag. At a quarter to 10 tbe Voldroque sunk, and with her colors flying, having been hulled several times by the Bull Dog, and the few who remained on board clung to the rigging, when the steamer’s hull disappeared, and thus re mained under the fire of the Englishmen’s rifle men until picked up by bis boat and taken pri soners. Several of tho crew of the Voldroque and a portion of the crew of the largest schooner of the Haytien fleet were rescued from the water, in the midst of a shower of bullets, and taken on shore by Lient. Sumner in the third cutter, which was despatched upon this errand of humanity by Capt. Walker. At 10 Lieut. Commander Howell and Acting Ensign Kane went on shore with a heavily armed boat’s crew for the purpose of bringing off' any for eigners who desired protection. At ten min utes past ten the largest schoonfrr of the Hay tien war fleet sunk, having received two shot holes in the port bow and at the water line. At half-past ten hove up anchor and got under way under steam, a boat with an officer from the Bull Dog coming alongside at the same time with a message for the commanding of ficer. At half-past eleven another officer came alongside from the Bull Dog, with a message which amounted to this, “mat he wished us to attempt to tow him off shore.” At forty-five minutes past eleven came to anchor in ten and a*balf fathoms of water, and veered to thirty- five fathoms of chain at the “bitts” on tbe starboard bower chain. Bearings of anchorage —Fort Picolet, north by west three quarters west; Custom Honse w*st south-west; Fort Vil- too, south by West, one-half west; Petit Anse south three quarters east; Mangrove Island, east by south. At thirty-five minutes past eleven, Lieutenant Sumner returned with the first cutter from shore, bringing oil' several foreigners claiming protection, among whom was the Vice-Consul of France. At meridian Lieutenant Sumner went on board the Bull Dog with an oiler from the commanding offi cer to receive and care for snch wounded per sons as he (the commander of the Bull Dog) might see fit to send off. The commanding officer of the Bull Dog declined the offer; his men being badly wounded, and the ship under fire, he deemed it inexpedient to remove them. From meridian to 4 P. M.—Light wind from ‘be north northeast; weather clear and fine; thermometer eighty seven degrees; barometer, thirty degrees, two minutes; her Britannic Majesty’s steamer Bull Dog still aground, and engaging the shore batteries. Lieutenant Com mander [Iowell went ashore in the second cut ter, returning on board at forty-five minutes past one. The town is on fire on the Northern and windward part, from the effect of the Bull Dog’s shells. At four the firing nearly ceased on both sides, the Bull Dog firing only occa sionally. Received on board, in all, forty-sev en persons, people from the city of Cape Hay tien who have desired protection. . From four to six P. M.—Bull Dog still fir ing at the shore batteries; and occasionally spiritedly sweeping the streets in the vicinity of the Bureau-au-Port with broadsides of grape and canister, the shore batteries answering but feebly and occasionally. A number of the people whom we brought off from shore (for eigners) left the ship and embarked on an Eng lish schooner, which will probably run the blockade to-night. Three of Geffrard’s steam ers are cruising in the offing. Received from her Britannic Majesty’s steamer Bull Dog, for medical treatment, the following wounded men, viz : Samuel Boden, seaman ; James Greene, captain of foretop; John Donnelly, captaiil of maintop; Francis Merediff, seaman ; Benja min Richardson, seaman; Jerome Pascoe, stoker; James Burton, marine; and Bina Ju- prey, a Haytien, one of the ere# of the Vold roque. Received also frpm the Bull Dog sev en Haytiens, being a portion of the crew of the Voldroque,-taken as prisoners from the water and the rigging of the sunken schooner Voldroque by the English boats. From six to eight nothing worthy of note occurred. A midshipman from the Bull Dog came on board with a message from the com manding officer. From eight P. M. to midnight, calm, weather clear. At thirty minutes past ten her Britannic Majesty’s steamer' Bull Dog blew up with ter rific force, the concussion shaking this ship.— In an instant all our boats were lowered and manned, and despatched to'the wreck of the Bull Dog, under the following officers, respec tively : .Lieutenant Sumner, Lieutenant Read, Acting Master Brice and Acting Ensign Kane. Arriving there, no bodies were found, she hav ing been abandoned previous to the explosion, and carrying off their dead with them. MISCELLANEOUS.
