SEPT. 25. je-ty could never have divined that he would have closed his career To a manner so little worthy of a soldier. His Majesty's prognoslics have been partly verified in the subjugation of the implacable enemy of the world; but the repose of the world will never be secure while Napoleon lives. In the return to philanthropic principles which the Governments of Europe appear desirous or adopting, his Majesty perceives new means of security to his kingdom. His Majesty, however ' since the expulsion of the satellites of Napoleon from the soil of Hayti, has never ceased preparing himself for war, and for the most obsti nate resistance, in the event of an invasion of .his kingdom. His preparations have been still farther augmented, by the complete or ganisation of his troops, the provisioiring of his fortresses, and other means of detimee which have been recently taken since the first overtures for peace between Napoleon and England, thron,gli the mediation of Austini, which we learned hem t' from the newspapers ; and especially in consequence of the various notices and valuable inft•rmation which you have given us, and which enabled his Ma jesty to take all suitable measures. It; on the one hand, the policy of his Majesty-has led him to mea sures of prudence required by his safety, he has not, on the other, neglected to cause cultivation to flourish, as you will be convinced by time enormous quantity of colonial produces which issues from the ports of his kingdom. You mast have seen from various acts of his Majessy's Govern ment, since his accession to the throne, that his Majesty has never confounded the French people with the Governments which op pressed them. To peaceable merchants lie has always offered seen xity, protection, and commerce, at the •same time that he was de termined to repel every kind of enemy who should attempt to reduce us to slavery. You may declare, Sir, as you are now authorised to do, that his Majesty will with pleasure receive the vessels of French merchants which shall he legally cleared out for the ports of Hayti ; they shall be protected and treated like the subjects of other friendly powers who tiade peaceably with Hayti, pros ivied they punctually conform to the laws of the kingdom. You may give this assurance to the French merchahts, and even publish it in your journals. A new order of things arises ; his Majesty embraces the consoling hope of finding a just and philanthropic government, which, con vinced that force is powerless to reduce us to subjection, will not forget anning our claims, that of having combated its most implaca ble enemy from the commencement of his reign to his 601, and never having listened to any of those proposals which his agents from all count' tes have made us. His Majesty flatter hiniselt that be will find humane sentiments in a Sovereign instructed by ihist.sirtune. In our state of iineertsinty as to the tneamires of the new Sovereign of France. with regard to us, we cannot take any direct coarse or Stet), as you invited us, until we are positively informed as to his intentions. It is for you, Sir, who with unbounded attachment and fidelity haw• constantly defended the interests of the too long lollop innate Monarch Wholik you kerve it tot %, oil, soo arc attached to (1w valise of King I le.,ry, and who possess inforinatioo respecting this country, to prepare the eliaimels by which lite two Powers may come 14) for !hull mutual intert.t, and the benefit of their it.sveviice cis, When this, aired not doubt that los .Majesty will li-ten to inert Jest and reasoin.ldt.

It has been offieiaqy notified by government, that on the filet Appearance of the enemy, kit will bet communicated to all the buildings in the cities, and every thing destroyed. With this information we have the consoling laomise, 'TIE NATIONAL REGISTER: that whenever the enemy is d►iven out, and the finances put in order, we shall all be paid our debts sand losses. " It is, indeed, a sight that makes iminiosity shudder, to Pee the preparations tusking for the destruction of the cities, and every thing in them not poe table to the mountains. The arsenals are filed wi!lt torches ready to he lighted. If a suggestion is whispered at the Go vernment house, ouestioning the policy, the reply is, look at Moscow ; adding, that had Moscow not been destroyed, Napoleon would still re main the despot Of Europe. " I confess the reaomiog appears sound. For my own part. I hope shall. so far close my affairs, that I shall not be an eye witness to the ttagical scenes that must take place here. The two parties, those of Potion amid Christophe, can bring into the to-h 1 upwards of tio,ooo fighting men, in the event of a French invasion ; stud the soldiers are loured to fatigue and danger. In truth, I have oilnessed in the la'e sioge of this city, acts of bravery in whole regiments, that would do !morn to the finest troops in Europe. MI floor forts and strong places in the mouotains are filling with cured porisions of the country, and ammunition. Such is the present stare of Hayti, and such the pre paratiosis making for human dtstrection, and all under the administra tion of an enlightened and virtuous man. M ..•.y soul sinks ithin me when Icontemplate it. The indigenous part. of the population is cr.i. ciliated a t 3to 000 siouls ; she idea of destroying so ma'.y human hat-rigs, is "neither charitable its conceptson. so.r is it easy iti•Oxecution." A few months will di tide, whether the finest emirory in the Western world is to become a dreary desart, or a flourishing state." TUESDAY'S LONDON GAZETTE. B KRUM'S. J. Tay, of Totnecs.
