Some Haytian Gazettes have been received of the month of November last, and it is with no small pleasute we see these customary signs of civilization and power arriving from a endows , which so lately was denominated " a den of tyrants, and a dungeon of slaw." That of the 9th November contains an article. entitled—" New Proofs of the Treason of haloes" The English public have, hitherto. had but little insight into the question—which of the Haytian Chiefs had an English bias, and which a French ? This article tends to settle this question. It appears that PETION had complained of a misrepresentation of his design in sending the citizens GARIIAGE and MERONA to Europe. the Haytian Gazette says, that GARBAGE, who died in July last, at Pentonville, near Islington, offered. in the month of May, to Louis XVIII. who was then at Ghent, a duty of ten per cent. upon colonial produce exported from Port. au-Prince, during his absence from his Throne, and of five per cent. afterwards ; in consequence of which, the French Monarch granted a sort of independence to his Interior Administration. Such an alliance might well excite the fears of the Haytians. How ever PETION did not content himself with this offer, in which there was some appeasance of generosity.— On or about the 15th of May, by which time he must have been informed of the return of BONAPARTE, he dispatched Commissioners to him, with whom, before his first expulsion from France, he is stated to have concluded a Treaty. Of this evident disposition to an alliance with France, CHRUITOPUR who, under every circumstance, has acted upon an abhorrence of such a connection, may well avail himself, in an Address to his subjects, and this he does with much clearness of exposition, and sufficient eloquence. Looking, almost exclusively, to the English interest in the question between the two rivals, we shall here notice this paper no farther than to say, that, when CHRIS TOMS reproves Perm foe granting an exclusive commerce to France, he speaks of the British as " that great, generous, and magnanimous nation, " who have constantly aided us an our adversities, " and whose glorious flag- has, for twelve years, 48 Boated in our ports."

Conic, JAN. 18.—Friday night. the 12th instant, a party of Consults assembled in the barony of )(natal. lout, in this county, and demolished the Pound of Knockmorne, in that barony, front whence they libe rated several head of cattle distrained for rent, and swore the pound-keeper never to receive any more . distress for rent or tithe. The above party after wards appeared armed, and for the most part, on horseback, in the village of Connah, when the mail coach which runs between this city and Waterford was passing . through. We have heard that simi lar parties visited the pounds of Youghal and Kil. leagh, in the barony of Imokilly, on the same night, If this be true, we strongly recommend it to the Ma. gistrates of Imokilly to lose no time in taking the subject into their serious consideration, lest that Barony might become the scene of greater outrages than what occurred on the Ist, 2d, 3d, and 4th days of the present year, when an armed force assembled on the farm on which Richard Godsell resides, near the farm of Yilleagh, the particulars.of which out• rages, though we are is possession of them, yet for good reasons we refrain at present from publiabing ,—Corn dfilvertiner. • - fore a, botitieti.

That upon their arrival them the Remembraneer attended ' at the Pavilion, and was informed that the Prince Regent was much indisposed with a severe fit of the gout, which had confined him to his bedchamber for the preceding , eight' days ; that his Royal High ness having received an intimation from the Secre tary of State that the SHeriffs would be at Brighton on that day, had given orders that they should be invited to dine at the Pavilion; that every mark of attention should be shewn them ; and that his Royal Highness entertained hopes of being able to receive them on the following day. That the Sheriffs and Remembrancer accordingly dined at the Pavilion, and after dinner were invited to the Queen's party (on the occasion of keeping her Majesty's birth-day). They afterwards supped there, and were most highly gratified at the marked atten tion and respect shewn them. On Saturday morning the Sheriffs and Remem brancer attended again at the Pavilion, but found that the exertions his Royal Highness had used in taking leave of the Queen and other brancucs of the Royal Family, who left Brighton early that morning, bad brought on spasnis, which induced the physi cians to order that he should be kept perfectly quiet ; but General Sir B. Bloomfield assured them that the Prince was much concerned that his severe Indisposi tion prevented his receiving them, and that he had his Royal Highness's command to communicate to i them the following answer The Prince Regent upon ids return to town, will fix a time for receiving the Addre ss of the City of London, ands commit nimbus of his Royal Highness's pleasure in this respect, will be made through the Secretary Of State to the Sheriffs, for the in formation of the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Common Council. 4 * Pavilion, Jan. 20, 1816." The Sheriffs contiaued at Brighton until the Sun day morning, add bad the satisfaction to hear that the Prince Regent was better than on the preceding day, and would return to London on the 28,11 inst. if sufficiently recovered to undertake the journey. • • ADDRESS ON PEACE. Mr. Alderman HEM/I.TM rose and observed upon the merits of the last Peace concluded siiith France. By that Peace he maintained that the eminently su perior character of this cooing was fully established, while the honour and interest of France was duly consulted. France was, indeed. left with an extent of dominion equal to that which she possessed pre vious to the Revolution, while her essential happiness was secured by rescuing her from the doniiaien of an usurpation as oppressive to herself as it was injurious to other States.—He was happy to state, that accord ing to the terms of the Peace, the Allies had made every arrangement that statesmanlike wisdom could suggest to secure the advantages which they were entitled to expect from the distinguished valour of their armies. For the extraordinary expences incur red through the sudden and mast unjustifiable re commencement of war, an ample provisino was made from the resources of those to whom that meow,- me:lc:neat was attributable, and thus a salutary lesson was taught to guard against the recurrence' ut such calamity, and that lesson was rendered more impressive, especially in a moral point of view, by the restitution of the valuable treasures of art of which the several continental nations had been des viled is the course of the French Revolution. The maintenance of a certain amount of the Allied army in France was, he coneeived, obviously just and ne cessary, w:ih a view to enforce the observance of the Treaty, by guarding against any of those convul sions which were naturally to be apprehended from the disposition of a large body of soldiery. habituated to depredation, and from a people too generally de moralized. The existence of such a force was, in deed, necessary to preserve to France herself the blessings of tranquillity. Instead of answering the arguments which pleaded for such an Address, as it WAS 114 intention to propose, he apprehended that he himself might be charged with inconsistency—that he had abandoned the principles of Mr. Fox but he should declare such a charge totally unfounded. For at no time of his life did he more warmly regard Whig principles, or more highly venerate the conduct and character of Mr. Fox than at this moment. In pursu ance of those principles, indeed, he felt that he was at present acting, and be could not help expressing his astonishment that some of the professed advocates of those principles, that any friends of liberty, could fail to rejoice upon the conclusion of a Peace which put an end to the reign of the most abominable mtli.• tary despotism. As to the objections likely to be of fered against his proposed motion, be understood that they were tolerably various,' and in his mind exceed ingly inconsistent. Fur one said that such an Ad dress was too late, while another alleged that it was too early--die latter professing to rest upon this ground, that that Assembly should wait until Parlia ment had declared its opinion upon the merits of the Peace. This, however, was rather an extraordinary' 'position from thore who so often held that it became the dignity and importance of the Corporation of London to take a lead in public affairs, without con sulting the tone or authority of any other body of men. On the present occasion he felt strongly that it was incumbent upon that Corporation to hold out a peeper example to the country, and he trusted it would not foal to do its duty, uninfluen ced by the complaints upon which some were In fond to dwell in consequence of our public :debt, our taxation,. and other embarrassments.— These embarrassments be regretted as much as any man, but they were tkte resnli.of the war, which was now s 0 happily concluded, and like the embarrass menu which immediately followed the American war in 1785, they would, be had no doubt, be spee dily overcome by the superior genius, industry, en• terprise, talent, and capital which proverbially be longed to Great Britain, while he had the fullest COll ,l fidence that every reduction would be made in ow public debt, taxation, and expenditure, that the wie.l .lom of the Legislature and the Government conidl possibly devise. With regard to the delay which ltook place in the presentation of another Address to the Regent, he could not imagine how any valid ob- . amid ketli to his iiiiiitiii be dratiii from that (Ws.. Fot the - Addresi Aided to lied no connection erhai ever with that which he shOuld have the homotir of proposing, Therefore, Any unavoidable delay in the presentation of the one could not rationally operate againit the adoption of the other. the lite Peace WAS, Upon the Whole, in his judgment, a iniaime so just and glorious, that it formed a most legitimate cause for congratilation $ and if it Were Stated, as he had sometimes heard. that it Was too advantage. ous for this country, be would only say, that he shoUld rather expect such a Statement from some defeated French Marshal, than from any Member of the Corn-. mon Council of London. The Worthy Alderman concluded, amidst loud cheers from one side of the Hall, with proposing the presentation of an Ad tress to the Prince Regent, congratulating his Royal Highness upon the Peace lately concluded with the King of France. . Mn J. DAVIS deplored the conduct And situation of the Government rd France, as well as the itfliver sally distressed condition of the people of this coun try, and of course he would be ready to rejoice in the appearance of brighter ploSpects. But he was sorry to say that he could not yet discover any clear view of those prospects, and until such prospects were evident, he did not think that Aisembly could consistently accede to any Address of coogratula. tion. He thought it premature to congratulate the Throne upon Peace until •it were sesn whether that event promised. or were likely to produce any real good—Whether it would serve to reduce our debt and taxes, or to relieve the several branches of our trade and manufactures. The Worthy Alderman might. with others who thought with Lim, endeavnor to cheer the country by the glowing boast that Peace had opened to our shipping all the ports of Eui opus. But that unfortunately did not afford my evidence or probability of extended commerce. In fact, fr ill p the habit which the Continental nations had con. tracted, through a long war, of manutac hr themselves, a;14,1 dispensing with our produce, the facilities of interc.wrse, which the Peace altorded, held out to us no prospect of commercial edema %es, while we were still to be burthened with so much of the expenses of actual war. Upon what ground then should that Court congratulate the Prince Regent ? But independently of the considerations which he had stated, he objected to the proposed Address, becausd it appeared to him quite a work of supererogation— that nothing called tor it. In 1814 that Court voted an. Address of Congratulation to the Throne upon the conclusion of Peace with the King of France, rather from an anticipation of the good which that Peace promised, but which anticipation was soon disappointed. Another Address was voted upon the Victory of Waterloo, which overthrew the User ie r of the French Throne, for wham he (Mr. Da‘i-) certainly never was an advocate or apologist. But it must be recollected, that since the Address of 1814. there never had been any interruption of peace with the King of Feance. On the contrary, we lied engaged in war to quell an insurrection against his Throne, but we had not been at war with that Prince. n:refire, no circumstance had occurred to call tor the proposed Address. With regard to the Addresi voted last month, the presentation of which was so long delayed, he was fully prepared to prove that the strongest grnunds existed for vetirig the. Address, :end that any relief experienced by the Prottstants of France from the persecutions to weice they were sub jeered. was owing, in a great measure, to the env:. getic iaterterepce of that Court and the country at large. Yet he remembered, that in discussing the vote alluded to, the Worthy Alderman doubted the propriety of the Address, on the ground, truly, that it did not become the Corporation of London to Address the Government without very pressing occa-. sion. Now upon the sime gri.und he (Mr. Davis) resisted the present motion, because he sitte no occa sion for the proposed Address, especially while ano ther and most important Address from that Court was not accepted, but remained in abeyance. Mr. PAYNTER observed upon 'the singularity of the Gentlemen on tree other side, who, aehough they did not think it too early to press an Ae4iress of Coi,gi.,. tulation to the Throne upon the Pewee with America before that Peace was ratified, much less sub armed to the consideration of Parliament, now pronounced it too early to vote any Address upon a P. ace %treat had been some time ratified, because truly, its merits had not yet been decided in Parliament. Mr. BUMPSTZAD expressed his surprise that these Gentlemen who ahvays deprec lied the war, should still decry the peace which concluded it, in conse quence of the amount of our debt and taxes, the pressure of which must naturally be aggravated by the continuance of that war. _ Mr. WAITHMAS said, that although his sentiments were decidedly in opposition to the proposed acirrss, he should rather wish to have given way to the obser. vations of other Gentlemen, and to have been treed from the necessity of obtruding himself upon the at tention of the Court in this instance. But yet, being so much in the habit of delivering his opinion in the discussions of that assembly, he feared he should be liable to the charge of a derelictics of duty, if be declined to stand forward on such an occasion. lie remembered that in the petition which he had the ho. nour to present to that Court at the outset of the war, in which any attempt on the part of this coun try to resist the efforts of the French people to choose their own Government, was strongly deprecated. But Ministers and their agents were forward to disclaim that object, alleging that they did not propose to in terfere with the rights of any foreign nation, unless with a view to defend our own rights from violation. In the address voted to the Crown on the conclusion of peace in 1814, it would be recollected that that Court, resting upon the Declaration of the Allies, which ought to be held sacred, namely, that their ob. ject was to make France “ great, powerful, happy," sonsbined with the speech of the tirince ltegeat at the opening of Parliament, in concurrence with*th.lt Declaration, expressed a hope that the sentiments of the Declaration and the speech would be fully acted upon, and that due regard would be had, as well to the privileges of the French people, as to the prero gatives of the Crown. The worthy Member here read some passages from the address alluded to, as well as from the Declaration of the Allies, arid then Asked, whether principles then professed hAd been followed up ?- 01 Is France said he) great, powi r ful, and hAppy ? Has she had any choice in the elation of the Government ? Has the alliance in. terfered in her internal concerns'. Hits the Govern- . , i . -
