(Detracts from.) .-01INZIRAL lumucitusug TOM.. SIC. MINI UM). Pert-so-Peitscs, Nov. 50,, 3111. Various circunsstances conspire to render it difficult to draw up any accurate account of the commerce of Hayti, during the period of revolution and of civil, war, which embraces thi r ty. one y ears , be g i nn i ng i n 1791, and ceding in 1822. ' - ••• •• Nearly the whole of the foreign commies of the Republic is conducted by.foreign merchants, as the cre dit of the natives is not so generally established, either at home or abroad, as to command the confldeneid Utopian and North American shippers; but the ness of the foreigner is eaceediagly limited by the Wit article of the law of patents. ••• ••• The purchasers from the foreigner cannot, under such regulations, be the great body of consumers. An fete!. mediate class is thus.created, chiefly if not exelositiely composed of women, calledmarchandes, who employ a number of hucksters that traverse the costar yi attend dye marbets, and give an account of their transaction t. their employers, either every evening, once a week,. or• once a month, according to theiecharacters. Many of the merchandes are high in credit, and fulfil their en gagements with the most scrupulous integrity ; though too many of them have been made the scape-goats for their husbands or keepers, who, after having consue.ed all that they coolJ obtain on credit from the foreigner', leave them to their fate. Those, however, who maintain their reputation, generally pay the merchants once a fortnight, or even at shorter periods. Formerly the credits were much more extensive. On the Gast opening of the Hayden trade, the foreigner imported chiefly on his own account,. he was cautious in his credits, and thus made money. His success led a host of commis• sion merchants over, who, to command the market, gave unlimited credit. This has proved rno.t ruinous, and the consequence has been restricted credits. In this way the consumers are chiefly supplied with foreign goods. There are, however, some Europeans and Americans that carry on a retail trade through the women that cohabit with them. .. .. The following may be considered the ckief imports from Great Britain s.Priested cottons of all kinds. English and ScotCh manufacture; minting, the same; *mon slintings, cotton eambrics, handkerchiefs in irni. .tation of Madras, cotton checks. dicnities,, stockings. quilting., ginghams, Irish and Scotch linens, platillas, white and brown britaneas, tenting', osnaburghs, cottots i and coffee bagging, woollen cloths, bombasiiss; mongery of most kinds, tin ware, Staffordshire ware, glass of all kinds, cutlery, paints, paint oil, cordage. army accOotreMentsand ammisnition ;some India goods,. me.com, are also shipped born Britain. France supplies wk.., cheese, taffetas, beet, buster, satins, liqueurs, lard, silk shawls, brandy, Perfumery, silk stockings, oil, bats. confectionary, preserved fruits, shoes and lwots, jewellery, linens, ornaments of all sorts, tays, ribands, parasols. gloves, cambric,. Indiennes, saddlery, hardware, military accowtrements sod deco. rations, hsndkerchifs, and some lesser articles. From Holland the importations are small, and consist of linens of different qualities, chiefly Gerinan, cotton ati,l coffee bagging, Russia duck, linen checks, ii:fetior woollens, Hock and Rhenish wines, Spa and Seltzer water, cheese, hams, butter, lard, gin, cordage, paint and paint oil, hardware.. The small shipments fr-sm Germa .y consist of linens of the same kinds above enumerated, of some printed cottons, muslin., bagging, ironware, and similar articles, as from Holland. The imports from Vie United States are confined to lumber, provisions of different kinds, and some India goods, which can be introduced on lower terms than from Europe. The North American trade with Hayti has been uninterrupted since the revolution. ... In the exports we have better materials for forming an opinion, even though impertect ; f r we have returns, of them for 1822. 1823,1824, 1825, and the three first quarters of 1826. By these we perceive that clayed sugar, which under the French rule was the greatest object of export, has ceased altogether; that the mus cora& es exported, which in the first year of the sm utted series amounted to 600,000 pounds, or about 300 large hogsheads', fell off in 1825 to 2,020 pounds, or somewhat better than one hogshead ; and, in 1826. would (adding one-third to the.sum of dime first quar ters) to 41,697 pounds, or about 21 hogsheads. The, quantity of syrup (that is, the inspissated juice of the, cane, previous to the for otati•in of sugar) exported in 18'22 amounted to '211,927 pounds; since that year it does not appear that a single pound has been exported. Coffee, Inc present staple, war, exported in 1812 to the amount of 24.235.372 : pounds. In 1823 it in creased about 9.000,000, continued to do so in 1824 nearly 11.000;000 more. makicg a twat increase of about 20,000,000 of pounds, but in 1825 diminished to little more than a total of 36,000,000, being a positive reduction of 8,000 000 from the produce of the pre ceding year. In the three first quarters of the current year the total amount shipped is a trifle more than 26,500,000; if to that we add one-third, tat Aso. plete the estimate for the whole year, we shall !kid 11101 total not to be quite $5,6Q0.000, which is a decreaseot ' more than 5,000,000 pounds on the preceding year's export. Cotton, which is gathered in very small quantities, has fluctuated from about 300,000 to 1,000,00 0 of pounds; but, upon the whole, the quantity up to the present period would seem to diminish. Cacao has varied from 300,000 pounds to about 460,000 pounds; but latterly the quantity does not seem to increase. It is not a little romorkable Chet logworid, which est• lair's cr" should in 1822 itav exceeded _ it° cultivatioo, _ 7,500,000 pounds, and have gradually fallen off, till in 1828 it amounted to less than a halt of that quantity ; and even with the addition of one-third, it does not amount in 1826 to 4,80Q,000 pounds. Indigo has ceased altogether to be an export, although Is 180 about 1,400 pounds were shipped.

I take the qneries in the order in which they have been proposed. Ist. Whether the Segar Plantations have considerably dieeinished? They ate almost entirely annihilated. The plain of Cul•de-sac, which was formerly an immense sugar gar dee. bas now Upon*it only fiat plantations of any rzteht These ere considered the best in the island. G(netally speaking, no sugar is menefictured on the estates de voted to the saltivation of the sugar cane. The juice is either inspissated to a coarse syrup, and sold for com noon lac or distilled into a very inferior rum, called here utafia.“ The Aetnal state of the plantation called Tor, which belongs to the only surviving daughter of the ,late Pruddeet, and is now under the management of thillVisellt bailout, may be considered a pietist* of tile laser eoltivation throughout the whole country. Formerly 1 1 ,700 Carreaes (each containing aboot Killers French feet) werein canes. above 1,510 slaves were emp'oyed upon it ; three sugar mills were con. gently at work. and excellent clayed sugar was made. Now abut seven carreaus are in cultivation ; nr t fifty labourers are employed ; and the only produce is a little syrup And tafia, which last is retailed in i small shop by the road side, in front of the President's residence. The correctness of this statement is abundantly sop ported by the fact, that the entire ex port -o f sugar from the whole of Hayti, last year, was only 2,020 lbs. while that in '1789 was 47,516,551 lbs. of clayed roger, and 99 1173.900 lbs. of muscovado. '2J. Whether those who work on them are coloured people or blacks? The labourers maybe considered all blacks, the number of coloured people's° employed being exceed ingly small ; the latter are commonly the mena3ers and Over seers. Sd. Whether the labour be voluntary or compulsory ?I Most aistinctly compulsory,_ as will be seen by the teem of the accompanying copy orthe Code Rural:. 4th. If the latter, whether the whip be used to com pel the labour ? • By the law. the use of the whip has been long abo lished, but military men hare the privilege of using a thick stick; and as all are militaty proprietors, I appre head thatsat present, as it was certainly the case under 'l s laniasaint. D:ssalines, and Christophe, corporal punibh namitof thatitind is very olten inflicted, though in op. papiele. to the law..—an opposition of practice to theory not very uncommon in Hayti. sth. And whether, if it be employed, females are equally subject to it? I have no evidence that women are eve! punished with a whips but were I to judge from the general conduct of the men to the women, I should be inclinrd to infer that the latter may suffer frotts.the same viola tion of the 14w with the mer., tow hich I have just ail vorted.—.l. boo the honour to be, &c. 1 ‘ 141) CHA ELKS MACK ENZIE.
