All your, evils and ours are about to vanish ; why hesitate then to tly into our arms, or to declare your selves for the cause of re-union? What have you then to fear ? There cannot exist either enemies or delinquents among the Hoydens. The King ktiows slot of them. This legitimate Chief, whom you have first proclaimed and recognized as head of the Government, extends his paternal arms to you ; he knows well how you have been drawn into the horrors of civil war; he knows that you are completely innocent; he knows who the only and real authors of our troubles and disasters is; but that per,on is no more ! Every thing is rendered plain by the voice of Divine Providence, which seems desirous to put a period to the dissensions and misfortunes of the Haytian People. Can you, my fellow-country men, can you refuse to listen to counsels of wisdom and reason when you have no longer any motive for continuing disunited, and that your interest, on the contrary, calls upon you and counsels you to ally yourselves to us in the most intimate manner ? Would you not be mad, the enemies of yourselves, unjust and inhuman to persist, without any reason, and without any motive whatsoever, in keeping on foot a civil war, in tearing the bosom of your coun try, and causing the blood of your brethren and fel. low-citizens to flow ? No, it Is impossible to believe that such men can exist amongst you. No, they do not exist any mole amongst you than with os ; (Or if such sangui nary beings could exist, if such eeemies to their coun try and to Its true interest as to desire a continuance of civil war, did exist, they could not be flay tians ; they must be Frenchmen or their secret partisans. ifsytians! When our King is the first to set the eaaraple of wisdom, of moderation, and of generosity ; when he only wishes you to listen to the voice of reason, of justice ) of humanity, can vou fer_.a moment hesitate to follow his noble, his. generous example? Can you, ought you to have any other opinion than pis, and not to follow the impulse which he gives - you, at the mo ment when he is only concerned for poor happiness, your real interests, and the safety of your country ? Think, then, that the whole world is witness to the generosity, to the magnanimity of the King; reflect . on the goodness, the justice, and the legitimacy of his cause; and if, after his paternal Proclamation, you persist in keeping your Selves away from him, ' think that it is you who will be responsible for all • the evils and calamities which may again befal our country. Recollect that you will be ioexcusable in • the eyes of your cotemporaries and of posterity, who will judge you with all the severity and impartiality which you will deserve by your obduracy. 1111 ETN s. • * I ~: ..t" : .

The Swedish Government has sent Naturalists into Lapland, to examine the mines and other natant productions of that little-explored' country. They have found very rich copper-mines, but the wood necessary for smelting is too far distant from them.. Vegetation has been so powerful at Jackarjtenfori, and in some other distsizis of Lapland, that the har vest has yielded 00 to 1. The Government travellers ladmire a water-tal formed by the river Lulea, which •is the most majestic in E trope. The river, 2000 feet wide, falls from a. height pf 400 feet.

LONDON littanT.-.-Holiday at sbe Public Ofbeet. TilE STATESMAN. Public attention is now turning towards the ap. proaching Congress of Aix-la•Chapelle, where the affairs of Europe are once more to be settled or un settled, and those of South America we are told, are at length to be entered upon by the collected wits of all the legitimates and ablest Statesmen of the Conti acid, always including, as no inconsiderable per sonage, the liberal and logical Lord CASTLEREAGH, the representative of the Regent of ENGLAND. His Lordship, we are informed, left town yesterday, for Lilts seat of Congress. The King of Paussts, ac. cording to the French Papers, was expected to ar rive it Aix-la-Chapelle on the '24th alt., though it is enderstood that the meeting of the Allied Sore regns would not take place sooner than the 27th inst. We have this day devoted some of our columns to observations on the business and policy of this Holy Alliante, and the characters of some of the States men who are to figure at this august assembly. It is ,•a fearful consideration that the destinies of mil lions, we might say the interests of the world, and the liberties of posterity, should depend on the de liberation. of a conclave who have already signalized themselves as the opposers of the rights of mankind, as the enemies of improvement and liberal ideas, who act upon systems and maxims that a more enlightened state of society has exploded, which Do longer accord with the interests of their subjects, and the results of time and experience; and who in their antiquated defiance of the progress, and the power of the human mind, war against all that constitutes the happiness and honour of civilized na tions. Vainly however do they meet and imagine that they have power to arrest the march of human improvement, to check the spread of liberating knowledge. To try to extinguish the light of free dom that has dawned upon mankind, even to the borders of the Pacific Ocean, would be an act of folly as outrageous as to endeavour to eclipse the sun, or blot out the stars of Heaven. Will Lord CASTLE. MUIR, will the whole band of Legitimates, with the aid of FERDINAND of Spain's Inquisition, attempt it? Should they unite in such a wicked and unholy cause, and succeed in cramping the rising energies of independence, a few years will destroy their success; if they should fail, they will have increased the flame in the new world, which is destined to purify the po litical institutions of the old. In vain they cloud their intentions in mystery,--and mature their plans of subjugation in the dark recesses of political in. trigue—the policy that aims at the happiness of so. ciety requips not the veil of concealment—in vain FRANKFORT, AUGUST 23.—The first division of the equipages of his Majesty the Emperor of Austria, consisting of 15 carriages and 76 fine horses, have passed through this city, on the, way to Ai:-la-Cha pelle. The hope of a fine vintage has caused a great fall In the price of wines, even of the wine of 1811. We learn from Vienna, that it appears from an 'Official Report of the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund that the 208 millions of Redemption Bonds, created in 1811, were reduced to 171 millions at the • beginuing of January, 1818. Since Ibis time it is stated that 20,000 of Redemption Bonds have been destroyed, so that the remaining sum will hardly amount to 161,000,000 at the nest annual settlement. This shows how earnestly and successfully the Go. ',eminent exerts itself to restore the ancient credit of the paper currency. The 250,000,000 of anticipa . lion bonds will be redeemed by the outstanding and ,current taxes (the first amount to above 50,000,000) and by the purchase of Bank shares. We learn from Carlsbad, that the Austrian Aulic Counsellor Geedz will go to Aix-la-Chapelle to be " Tsrants! in vain ye trace the wizzard ring, In vain ye limit minds' unwearied spring— present there during the Congress. Truth thrill prevail, and nature's light be given, It is said that the Diet will adjourn four for weeks At.d, like Peosternees, bring the fire of Heaven." • in the course of the next month, and that the Ministers To continue to act on the maxims which have so trill go, mean time, to Aix-la-Chapelle. It appears, that the proposal to erect ne w fortresses long governed the conduct of most Courts, is as dan 'to complete the line of defence on the Upper Rhine gerous as it is unwise—to prevent the calamities, the has met with no opposition, only it is not yet agreed concomitauts of great convulsions, is a most sacred where those fortresses shall be. duty of the directors of states and kingdoms; and to The general opinion seems to be to niake Offen bend to public opinion, their safest course. A coon , burg a fortress of the first rank, and to restore th e fortifications of old Brissch, which formerly was of try under the government of despotism may present so much importance in the wars in Germany, but is to the shallow enquirer riches, beauty, strength, and now wholly dismantled. A proposal was made to security ; but its strength fails, its beauty decays, fortify Frieburg, but this was abandoned, because it s r iches s vanish, and its security fades, as soon • that place is wholly commanded by the surrounding mountains. Feost TIIE FRENCH FRONTItItS, AUG. in.—The as the cancer of tyranny reaches its heart..-- This the kingdoms of the Continent have esperienced, reviews of the various corps of the Army of Occupa- and their Sovereigns will yet feel the consequences tiott are put 'off till the beginning of the month of of their illiberal policy, unless they abaudon the September. That of the Austrian corps, commanded system of despotic Government, which they are en. by General Baron Frimont is fixed fur the 6th, and deavouring to support, and make permanent, in spiteof this it seems is to be the 'first.

A recent arrival from to the 16th of April. The Iha Indian Archipelago, prise, alarm, and indip and the power which the the East, we see the wisdom and the consequences of the concessions which our Ministers have so li berally made to these our Allies and deals. They base closed all the Eastern ports, obliged all the native vessels to carry Dutch flags and Dutch papers. They are taking possession of all the ports in Borneo, 3umatra, &c. &c. so as to form the same system of arbitrary exclusion they did before the last century. The same hostility and determination to destroy all British trade in that quarter is now openly avowed. They do all in their power, say the accounts, to lower and degrade the British name, to arrest.Bri tislt merchants residing at Batavia, and to harass and oppress them wherever they present themselves.— Their oppression and injustice towards the natives is represented as still more wanton and inhuman ; these, in the Moluccas, and also in some parts of Java, are in a state of insurrection ; and, as the most effectual mode of tranquilizing -their fears, and redressing their wrongs, the Dutch are butchering them by thousands.—This is a statement almost beyond belief ii beman nature revolts at the mention .of sea . deliberate bar. barity on the part of civilized menv-but nth is the assertion we have conveyedlo us. . Tbise ambitious and avaricious neighbours of oar esstern - settlementi are gradually monopoliling sad raisinuthe pike of . all articles, the produce of the'Ariltipslgnoindsio sending ships on their own account to Bengal, to sell copper and tin, from Jspin and Banco, AO the ruin of the British mining interest. The impolicy of giving up these places to them requires bo further illustration. In order to debar di from all inter course with the natives, they also keep in commission three line.of-batile ships, five frigates, several sloops of war, and innumerable armed vessels; in short,. there is every thing but peace in that quarter. The prices of colonial produce at Java, In consequence of these restrictions, are as follow :--Coffee from 18 to 2.0 dollars ; pepper, 13 ; sugar, 9 to 10 ; which is three times the price they were when that fine island was in our possession. It is justly observed, that without some check, some restraint upon this system of encroachment and ag greslion, the whole of the Eastern trade will be lost. But though it is deemed not inconsistent with the duty of the British Government to interfere in the quarrel between Spain and her South American Colo nies, the necessity and propriety of protecting our own immediate interests and subjects in the East from this system of hostility on the part of our Dutch friend+, may not be so clearly apparent to the Bri tish Ministry, who may be ezpected,to see nothing now for some time but the momentous affairs of the Continental Congress. French Papers to the 30th have arrived. The Duke of WELLINGTON left Paris on Friday last for Colmar, to review the Allied troops. The King of l'ocssrA was expected to arrive at Aix-la-Chapelle on the 24th ult. and the two Emperors on the fo'. lowing day. The Continental Powers have callfd forth their ableit Statesmen and Negociatora for ti e important occasion. The celebrated N. GENTZ, .Aulic Councillor of Austria, proceeds, say the Journals, to Aix-ta•Chapelle, on the part of his. G overnment. The immediate removal of the Army of Occupation is confidently anticipate& in Germany. lo the meantime the French Government is proceeding in its levy ors body of 80,000 men frotn theclasses of 1816 end 1817. Of this number 40,000 are in be at the dis posal of the Minister at War, who o ill employ them in replacing the soldiers whose term of service shall have expired on the 31st of nest December, and in completing the Ist battalions of the departmental le. gions. The number of legions is 86. The establish. ment of a French battalion consists, as we have been informed, of about 600 rank and file. An Ordi. stance appears in the Moniteur for carrying the Mili tary Pr(del into- effect. The Royalist conspiracy and the prosecution of the offenders seem to have been hushed up. General CANUEL, we find, has heels at large for some time, and now blusteeingly denten& that the charge against him may be forth ' with tried before a Court of Justice. An article from Dresden slates, that an eztetisive camp of Saxon troops will be formed in the vicinity of that city during the approaching autumn, and that the Salton corps now in France will form part of it. —The Five per Cents. left off on Friday at 79f 75 c. ; and Bank Shares MU f. 50c. - too dill [ f. ler 1 ''~
