The power with which I have been in vested by the Constitution, and the confidence of which you have given me the,proofs in the most difficult cir cumstances, have laid me under an honourable obliga tion, at all times, to inform you what I have undertiken to insure your happiness, and to consecrate the rights which you have so gloriously gained by conquest. My Proclamation of the 11th July, 1825, informed you of the negotiation concluded in this Capital with the Envoys of his Christian Majesty. In accepting the act which recognises the independence of Hayti, we id not conceal horn ourselves the vagueness of its dispositions. We saw at once the diversity of interpre lotion that might be given to it ; but we should have thought it injurious to the French Government to sup•, pose it actuated by any other thoughts or intentions than such as, in a declaration of that nature, can alone honour and immortalise the Sovereign who proclaimed it. Interests, however, - and rights so dear as those of our country, could not be abandoned to arbitrary interpre- tation. My duty required of me to ask precise explana. tions. I have asked them. The Commissioners chosen for that purpose. whom I invested with full powers, and who were moreover charged to regulate in France the basis of our commercial relations, have returned. They have done everything in their power worthily to fulfil their mission, but they haw not obtained that which they were especially charged to require. The essential clauses of the Convention they have handed to me, not being conformable precisely with the interests of Hayti, prudence requires that nothing shall be concluded in the business, in the well-founded hope that ulterior ex planation may produce the desired result. lam far from prejudging anything against the loyalty of the views of the French Ministry; time, doubtless, will clear up, to the satisfaction of both parties, the import ant points as to which it is our duty to exercise the most scrupulous vigilance. Nevertheless, I shall always feel bound by my engagement, because good faith should be the first rule of conduct for those who govern States. Still, in the existing condition of things, I owe it to myself, to my country, and to the world, to declare the sense in which the Government of Hayti accepted the Ordonnance of the 17th of April. Free and independent for twenty-two years, Hayti only saw in that Ordonnance the application with res- pect , to her of a formality, to legitimatise, in the eyes of other nations, the government of a people who had con stituted themselves sovereign. It is this formality from which results the reounciatton by the King of France for himself and his successors, of all sovereignty over the territory of the Republic, which we have obtained fur an indemnity, of which the first instalment has been paid, as will the others be, punctually. The present legislature, in declaring this indemnity a national 464 have given a new guarantee of the good faith of their Government. Thus thete cannot exist, in the opinion of the world, the least doubt that such is the only rea sonable interpretation of the Ordonnance recognising the independence of Hayti—an interpretation, more over, in strict accordance with the preceding manifestoes of this Government. Citizens I—The declaration of your Chief Magistrate is in harmony with your unalterable determination, which has long been known—preserve the attitude to which you owe the rank you hold. Let loyalty con stantly characterise your transactions, and yourrelations with foreign commerce.. Redouble your ardour in fer tilizing your fields: labour will afford you the means of multiplying your 'exchanges, and teach you to appre ciate more the happiness of a wise liberty. Preserve the profoudest respect for the law, and for the func tionaries who are its organs, the confidence and obe dience which are their due. Forget not that union and concord will ever make your greatest strength.— Cherish the purest love for the country l and let your thankful hearts daily offer to the Surname BUNG the tribute of homage demanded by the wonderful protec tion he has granted you. Soldiers I—ln charging you with the particular care l a watching for its defence, the country does not dispense with the obligations I have enumerated. You I have already given the measure of what valour can do, guided by patriotism. Show yourselves, in all circum stances, faithful to honour and your duty. I will confide my glory to your devotedness, as I trust my happiness in the glory of my country. Gives at thit National Palace of Port-av•Prlace, March Sib, s3d year at Indepeedence. BOYER. ANTIGUA, MARCH 5. About four weeks since, there. was a yearly general meeting at St. Kitt's of the Methodi s t Missionaries from the neighbouring islands ; from this place went tt'e Rev. Mr. White, wife, three children, and servant ; Rev. Mr. Hilliar, Rev. Mr. Oake, Rev. Mr.J.mes, wife, and infant child. They left St. Kitt's a few days since to return to the island, having added to their number Mr. —; ano.her missionary and his w ife. The vessel in which they embarked called at'Montserrar. Some of theii friends advised th• m to leave the vessel in which they were, (being a dull sailer), and go on hoard the mail-boat Maria, then ready to sail for this island. They did so; and a young lady also took passage with . them. The sehooom which they bad left arrived here seasonably, the ordinary passage licing only a few hours. Some alarm, after the schooaer's arrival, was felt for the safety of the mail.buit, and on Friday p.m. the 3d instant, word was brought to own, that part of the wreck was seen on the Weymouth (a shoal about four miles from the harbour, and only half a mile from a shoal island called Sandy Island), with two persons on it. Two or three boats immediately went down to her, and found it to be the wreck of the mail boat Maria, sad the only survivor of 21 souls was Mrs. Jones, in . a srate of insensibility. She had been placed by the Captain (Whitney) between the bowsprit bitts, where she could not wash away. She was in her night dress only, with her husband's cloak or coat on, and a sailor's cap on her head. The body of Captain Whitney, the only one found, was lying near the wreck. He was buried yesterday. The vessel struck on the reef in the night. Three or four days had elapsed when she was taken off. Mr. White, his wife, three children, and servant, were all swept away together, clinging to each other; Mr. Hilliar attempted to swim to Sandy Island, l and,was drowned in her sight; her infant was washed away from her arms; her husband died in her lap the, night before she was taken off, and was washed away. I Mrs. Jones, a delicate slender woman,' of 20 years, wai l four days without sustenance, exposed to the inclemency of the weather. FRENCH PAPERS. -.......- The P.ris Journals of the 2.2 a contain the close of the public proceedings on the prosecution of the Abbe de la Mermais ; but the Etat slung has the sentence, which is as follows: Sentence in the *fair of the Abbe de la Mennais.-1 - And ence of 22d April t Y With reipect to tae accuestion of excitement to disobedience of the laws, • • "Seeing that the Edict of March, 1682, registered in the Parliament of Paris the 23d of the same month, proclaims the declaration of the Clergy of France in 1682 to be a general law of the State, and that the four propositions which it lays down form the fundamental ' ) basis of our political institutions and of our public law on this subject; that this declaration constitutes the liberties of the Gallican Church and States in its first ptoposition; that St. Peter, his predecessors, and the Church itself, have received no authority from GOD, except over things spiritual, and not over things tem poral and civil ; and declares, in consequence, that Kings are not subject to any ecclesiastical power by the order of Goo in things which concern temporal matters; that they cannot be deposed directly or indi rectly br the authority of the head of the Church ; and that their subjects cannot be exempted from -submis sion and obedience which they owe them, or dispensed from their oath of allegiancet--- " That the execution of t h is Declaration, and of this Edict, is commanded by the Decree of the King's Council, 24th May, 1766, which forbids all the King's subjects to maintain, write, or print anything contrary to the maxims and principles of this Declaration, and which may tend to renew disputes, or give rise to dif ferent opinions on this subject. 4 That this Edict and this Declaration have never Men expressly or legally revoked, or fallen lute desuetude. 46 That, on the contrary, their execution has been ordered in divers acts of the legislative power and the judicial authority, and that even at this day the Bulls are not published in France except with the reserve of the maxims, franchises, and liberties of the Galilean Church. That thequestion is not to ex twine the pro positions laid in this declaration, and of which the Clergy of France were the only judge, or to decide on any dogma or article of faith ; but merely to decide whether the Edict of 1682, relative to the declaration of the Clergy, such as it exists, has the force of a law which forms a legal question within the competency of the judicial authority which is:especially charged with the execution of the laws. " Considering that the work, entitled 4 On Religion, considered in its Relations with Political and Civil Order,' of which the Abbe de La Mennais has acknow- ledged himself the author, presents in several chapters the character of a direct and formal attick on the declaration of 1682, and the edict of the 23d March the same year, which constitutes the crime designated by articles 1,3, and 6, of the law of 17th of May, 1819; that the Abbe de la Mennais, in two works, the one entitled, • Some Reflections on th e Trial of. the Gossit isstionsel and the thatrier and the other, eAphorionata adjuniores Theologos,' has professed the same principles, and attacked the same edict and declaration : 4► With respect to the accusations of attacks on the dignity of the King, on the order of • succession to the throne, or the rights which the king derives from bis birth, and others, mentioned in article 2 of the laws of 16th March, 1822: " Seeing that the passages inculpated ate rather an attack on the declaration of 1682, and then a di.cussion of the first proprisition contained in that deci ration, than a direct, positive, , nd actual attack against the King, the lights he derives from his birth, and the order of succession to the throne.: " TULA. character of the Abbe de Is Peen* his religious end asonarchical opinions and sentiments, do not permit even the sup-. position of the intention of such a crime s " Acquits the Abbe de la Mennais of the charge contained in tie second count of the indictment. " Deciding on the first count— " Considering that the passages inculpat,d Form a very small portion of the work, that the remainder is ,devoted to the examination of theological qulstions on which discussion and controversy are permitted, and not within the resort af the tribunals; that the work of his composition can be read and appreciated only by well-informed and enlightened persons; that the re spectable character of she Abbe de ht Mennais ought to be particularly taken into consideration. " Applying the Articles 1 and 3 of she law of May 17, mooed a Article 26 of the law of May 26,12111-- " Condemns the Abbe de la Mennais to a fine of 90 francs; orders that the work called, Os considered in its relation with Political and Civil Or_dell; by the Abbe de la Mennais, shall be seized wheresoever it may be necessary, by all officers of judicial police, legally required by virtue of this sentence • orders the destimetiost in the °Scent' the Register of ibe Court of the copies which shall be seized. " Orders that the present sentence shall be nude pane, con formably to Ankle 26 of the law ofll6th May, 111111. " Condemns the Abbe de la Mennais in the costs." RUSSIA AND SPAIN. ANSWER OP COUNT NESSELRODR TO THE UNITED STATES' MINISTER. The undersigned Secretary of State, directing the imperial administration of foreign affairs, hastened to submit to the Emperor the note with which Mr. Mid• &non, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipdten. tiary of the United States of America, did the honour to address him on the 2d of July last, accompanying , a copy of the dispatch from Mr. Clay, in which that Mi nister, in the name of the Cabinet at Washington, urges the necessity of confirming the general peace, by ter minating the contest of the Spanish Colonies against the Government of hit Catholic MAjesty; of securing to Spain the peaceful possession of the island of Cuba and Porto Rico; and of effecting these objects by the im partial intervention of Russia. The principles of the Emperor were sufficiently known to the Government of the United States to justify the perfect confidence that, in expressing a wish for the continuance and confirmation of the peace enjoyed by the world, it did but represent the most sincere desire of his Imperial Majesty ; that,' in professing a generous • solicitude for the rights of Spain over her islands in the' West Indies, it avowed principles that had long since been adopted Isy Russia as the basis of her poli,icsl - system ; and that, in anticipating perfect impartiality and true disinterevedness from her intervention, it was not deceived as to the sentiments) of the Emperor, in relation to all arrangements in which foreign Powers might be ?leased to ealnhav or admit his good offices. •His Imperial Majesty felicitates-himself with having inspired this confidence in the United States of America, and the undersigned is charged - to invite Mr. Middle. ton to convey to his Government the assurance of the high value at which the Emperor estimates those semi meats, of which new evidence is furnished by its matt proposition. The opinions of his Imperial Majesty as to the ques tion discussed bj Mr. Clay, in his despatch, cannot. be concealed from the Cabinet of Washington. His Ins. perial Majesty hakever thought that justice, the law of nations, and the general interest in having the indis putable titles of sovereignty respected, could not allow the determinations of the mother country, in this im portant case, to be prejudged' r anticipated. On the other side, whenever Spain has wished to discuss t he future condition of South America, she has addressed overtures to all the Allied Powers of Europe. It will not be possible, therefore, for his Imperial Majesty to change principles in this negociation, nor to institute it separately (iatmeal); and until positive information has been received of the ulterior views of Spain, in re gard to her American possessions, of her decision upon the proposition of the United States, and of the opinions of her allies in relation to the same subject, Russia cannot give a definite answer. _ She is, however ' in the meanwhile, pleased to h o p e , that the United States, becoming every day more con vinced of the evils and dangers that would result to Cuba and Porto Rico from a change of Government, being satisfied, as Mr. Clay has said in his dispatch, with the present commercial legislation of these two islands, and deriving an additional motive of security from the honourable resolution of Spain not to grant to them any longer letters of marque,will use their influence in defeating,. as far as miy be in their power, every enterprise against these islands, in securing to the rights of his Catholic Majesty constant and proper respect, in maintaining the only state of things that can preserve a just balance of power in the sea of the Antilles, prevent shocking examples, and, as the Cabinet of Washington has remarked, secure' to the general peace salutary guarantees. • The undersigned seises with pleasure this occasion to repel;, Mr. Middleton the aseuranees of his very &demobbed elosidere,. clog.
