THE GREEKS. ( From ea Axttrian Observer of Jan. ItZTRACTs or REPORTS FROM CORTII AND ZANTS, rr TO 20TH DECEMBER . The CalllrligH in Acarnania, -so far as what - has happened this year can be called a campaign, is now over. Pacha, who was made incapable of any serious operation -by his personal quarrels with other Albanian and Epirot Chiefs, es well as by his extremely equitocal position with respect to the Porte, had never above 5000, and at the end scarcely 2000 at his command. It was therefore to 'be foreseen that - he eletild neither do any thing of importance himself in Acarnania nor. reinforce the - weak army of Dervisch Pacha in 4.headia and Thessaly, and that consequently the Pachalik of eeeinnina would be abandoned to the Greek marauding parties. Nevertheless, Maurocordato, whom his party call Governor tienaral of Western Greece, though-this title was never for 'nailer granted him on the other side of the- Peninsula, thought it neecssery to be on-his guard against Omer's movements and pe-e:...1e attacks. With this view he formed a camp. with about S. men, at the end of July, near Ligovitzi, at a convent on an eminence near to Maehala and Lake Ozeron, two leagues from it - iv right bank of the Astropotamus. This measure was an- Pounced in very pompous terms in the journals of Missolonghi. Decisive operations were to be undertaken from that camp. Arta, Prevesa, Joannina, were to fall successively in a short time. Nothing of all this happened. Arta, indeed, was some times summoned to surrender; from a distance, but nothing -teas done beyond empty demonstrations and threatening letters. Nang°, one of the subaltern commanders of Maurocordato, plundered and laid waste the unfortunate district of Radovichi, at the foot of Pindns, chiefly inhabited by Christians. Zonga, Sea t , Bozzari, &c. fell upon other defenceless points, thinking more of plunder than victory. There was not even a serious aaion. Omer Pachahad taken his position at Caravanserai, at a cus tein-licuse on the south-east bank of the Lake of Arta. The e.eoper business of the enemy, therefore, was to force this mint ; hut this was not to be done by arrogant articles in the i;;rerk Chronicle, and other operations were not attempted. Omer Pacha kept his position undisturbed. Nay in the month et* September, unconcerned about the neighbouring camp at Vgovitzi, he sent a strong expedition towards Vrachori, in Liolia, which spread general consternation ; many of the inha leitante of the country were taken prisoners, or sustained great hos in cattle and effects. . This state of things continued till the commencement of the bad season. In October, :Maurocordato, harrassed by dissatis- Ilea:tint' and cares of all kinds, became so seriously ill, that it wee necessary to convey him to Anatolie°. But before the comp, he requested from officers commanding under him, some 44 whom had the titles of Generals, a written acknowledgment, tier which they bound themselves collectively, " not to forsake their post, on every occasion to do their duty, and to preserve ettbordieation, on pain, in the contrary case, of being consi dered as Anti-Patriots, and of being treated by every bo d y as eizah." 'From such a document we form some 'inference respecting sire spirit which must have prevailed among those troops. At the beginning of November, Omer Pacha voluntarily left tie camp at Caravanserai, and withdrew for the present to Arta. He was threatened in his rear by adversaries who did hen much more injury than the powerless armaments at Lego ehei ; and it was certainly not fear of a couple of thousand of iii-armed Greeks that kept him six months inactive. to It is strange enough that just about this time, the grandson ef Ali Pacha (a son of Veli Pacha), and his grandmother-in lay, who is so well known for many affecting vicissitudes of - tertene with several confidants of this once-powerful family, ae-peare'd at Larissa, and with the intention of going to.Epirus. It wits generally believed that the object of this journey, -which - l ex, permitted if not favoured by the Porte, was to discover .a Feet of the hidden treasures of Ali Pacha ; but it is much wore probable that it was hoped, by their presence, to gain 11;0 eid adherents. and to keep a check - on other factions. The ;Korea has been • latterly again a theatre of open and saftguinary discord. In the month of October the Government at Napoli di Ro neteia was renewed. As Members of the Direotory were ap pointed, Condurioatti as President, P. Botassi (2) as Vice Pre- Went. Fotilla, Spiliotacchi, and Coletti; President. of the Se- F! te, Pan uzzo Z.;oturu, and Vice-President, Vresteno Teonorits. .: , leurocordato was intended for an important post, and his 1: - ;.ends had taken great pains to place him at the head of affairs. Ile. however, firmly refused, and, at length positively declared, tliet, he would not, in any case, give up his place at Misso- Janglii (though he has to contend there with enmities and -cobalt of all kinds), or, upon any terms, go to Napoli di 1i Visianla. The way in which the offices were filled seems to have ex °;t el from the beginning much discontent. The public jour nals of .lieeolonghi and Athens have indulged in sarcastic re -marks on the subject. The Greek Chronicle of the 10th Nor. • ershot so far as loudly to complain, " that, contrary to the ex •teress terms of the law, the Executive Council consisted, for the taint part, of the former Members ; that this clearly proved the inauence of a party, the preponderance of which could end only in despotism or anarchy. " Soon after, it was known that, while great measures were an .nsunced in all quarters for the closer investment of Patras by sea and land, the Turks-had made a sally from that fortress, had apnea terror and desolation for many miles round, had attacked carps of 401) men commanded by Constantine Bozzaris, and no where met with any opposition. The Gazette of Hydra (the -Friend of the Law, of Nov. 17), a Journal under the imme eliate influence of the Government, expressed itself on the sub- - ect of this event in very strong terms.—[This passage has .teen quoted on a former occasion.] —When this article was written there wet a general insurrection in Arcadia and Elis, .egainst the Government. The Colocotronis, Delijaui, Sisini, . Londo, and other Chiefs of the anti-democratic party, seemed to wait only for an opportunity to commence open hos ' telities, and this was soon afforded them by a dispute with the _authorities at Tripolizza. Meantime the Government at Na .poli sent against them 2,000 men under Papa Flesso. (3.) - A .sanguinary action ensued on the road to Tripolizza, in which Tano Colocotroni (the same who had so long refused to give .op Napoli to the democrats) was killed, and Staico, the . second in command, taken prisoner after the enemy had cut off both hie hands. Infuriated at the death of his faeourite son, the elder Colocotroni collected his whole force, and marched with a corps, said to exceed 6,000 men, against Tripolizza. A naval ..oilicer, who arrived at Corfu, report* that he has occupied that place. (4.) Only imperfect accounts of the late events at sea have reach ed Corfu. It was known that only a part of the Egyptian -.fleet-had been able to enter the port of Candia • the Greeks, however, still feared a landing-in the .Morea ; this fear, if not the internal state of the Peninsula, explains the reason why the eight Greek vessels that had mete to blockade Patras, loft that station (as credible accounts state) in the middle of -.December_ The Florcntivis•Gazett4 of the 4th gives accounts from of the middle of December, which say that public re toitings had taken place at Napoli di Romania, in commemor ation of the advantages gained over the Ottoman fleet in the . sea of Candle, and that transports had arrived in that port, on . board of which were some Arabs, belonging to the regular Egyptian army, and provisions. Some of the ships hick had . been separated from the Turkish fleet were pursued' as far as . Alexandria, and -the Greek squadron has since returned to Hydra. Coeduriotti was said to have recovered - from.his ill ness, and to have arrived at Napoli di Romania with many troops-from the islands, and other parts of Greece, to support the Government, and to check the discontent which had been .:,frown in some places oa account of the late elections. (I) Omer Vrione is appointed. Pacha of Salonichi. -If the Perm can get him out of Albania, it will be a great advantage to it. . (2) He died soon after of an epidemic prevailing at Napoli, which is said to have spread to Argos. (3) It is said the Hydriots and Spezziots, in an address to the IVloreots, threatened that if they did not submit to the lawful Government. they would cause the-Turkish troops to land in , the Mores. We have not seen this proclamation. (4) Yet in spite of these facts, confirmed for the most part by the latest Greek Journals, the Canstitutionnel of the 28111 Dec. presu to Ives say, ". The internal disorders of the .Greeks are Ilion), appeared."

INDIA. BURM ESE. The Burmese war- seems to be going on with a spirit of sanguinary ferocity which was hardly expected on our part, and one feature of it seems quite new in Indian warfare. we have often before had to fight an army, but this is the first time we have been called upon to cope with a people. Buell most decidedly seems - to be our task now. In our other wars the inhabitants of the country, if not positively favourable to our interests, were at least to be bought or intimidated into as sisting in forwarding our plans, in so far as conveying our mili tary and commissariat stores, supplying us with provisions, and giving us information. The Bunnans, on the other hand, re fuse every thing of this kind and we cannot eventnd the means : of forwarding from Rangoon to the King of Ava a letter, stat ing our wrongs and demanding redress, nor can we gain infor mation of what is going on within two miles of the stockade occupied by our troops. When the war was first planned, it was proposed that after the capture of Rangoon, the army was to proceed up the river in the boats of the country, manned by the Burmans themselves ; but here they have reckoned, it would appear, without their host, for when Rangoon fell into our hands, neither boat nor Burman were to be had for love or money, and as-yet not a single pound of provisions has been procured, except what has been brought by sea. Our army still remains within the stockade, which occupies all the clear ground in the neighbourhood of the town, and is surrounded by a thick close jungle, which enables the enemy to come up to our very sentinels unperceived, and any one who ventures out is sure to be cut off. When a strong party is de spatched to storm a blockade, they never remain out all night, as they dread encountering the enemy at such a disadvantage ; and stockades are thrown up by the enemy in all directions, as from the thickness of the jungle it is impossible to know that they are in the act of erecting them, until a smoke rising among the,trees indicates their presence. It seems to be universally believed, that this will be a long protracted war. Some letters count upon its lasting till March, while others think that it will not be finished in one season, and that the troops will have to pass the next rains in the Burmese Empire. What may be the intentions of the government with regard to the country when conquered, it is impossible to di vine, but it is generally conjectured, that we will not add it to our Indian empire, but rather break it up into the original provinces of Assam, Arracan, Pegue, Martaban, and the old Burma kingdom. As these are peopled by different races, who have been conquered by the Burmese, it will be obviously the interest of each and all of them to keep well with the British government, and this will greatly facilitate our commercial in tercourse with every part of these regions.

BOMBAY. The spirit of dissension is net confined to Calcutta. At Bombay a serious misunderstanding is stated to have taken place between the Recorder and the Governor, in consequence of which law proceedings are for present suspended. The editor of one of the Journals has been sent home to Europe ; and the Court, having " a reverend care of his health," have added to the obligation by sending him via Calcutta and China. Really the situation of Indian editors is at present far from enviable. 'They have no Censor on the Press, yet they are liable to fine and transportation, if they say any thing amiss of Government, who have the power of judging of what is proper or the contrary, and acting without appeal. On' the - other hand, the Supreme .Court appears to possess a similar power; and .when these high parties quarrel, the unfortunate editor is placed,between Scylla and _Charybdis. -" What pleases one Court • 'T'other Court will take ill." "fact, his Situation reminds us of that of the unforinnate old' women who were accused of the sin of witchcraft. They were tossed into a pond, and if they sunk they were drowned, but declared innocent: if they floated they were found guilty and. burnt. The old plan of a strict censorship and no responsibi lity, is the only one that can with justice to the editors be adopted. SINGAPORE. It has been mentioned, for some days past, that by the FIAT of the Court of Directors, Singapore is to be no longer a Fait Portz ! ! And that orders have been recently sent out to that effect. How long the British Government will tolerate the system pursued by the Company, we• cannot conjecture, but it is evident the trading interests of the Empire will, on the at tempt to renew their Charter,—endeavour to controul their power in such a manner as to, prevent them any longer pursuing a system so injurious to British Interests. BATAVIA. --- By the ship Sarah, which left Batavia on the 9th October, we learn that up to that period, no instructions had been offi cially received- by the local authorities, concerning the new treaty between the Netherlands and this country. Vague rumours of every kind were afloat, concerning the intentions of the Bata vian Government, but all these rest entirely on conjecture. In the mean time, while this uncertainty continued,people were un willing to move in any speculation of magnitude. One letter says that so completely has the absurd conduct of the Dutch cut up their commerce, that some of the most respectable Chinese resident at Batavia, are seriously contemplating a removal to Singapore. If these people quit Java, it will be a severe losi to the Island, as in their hands rests much of the commercial capital of the country, which if transferred, would be the mak ing of Singapore.—As it is, we are informed by letters from a gentleman who had just arrived at Java, from that colony, that so rapid has been the progress of improvement, that, on revisit ing it after an absence of little .more than three years, he could hardly know that it was the same. place. When the Sarah sail. ed, British manufactured goods-. were selling at the same pric as formerly, but more slowly ; produce, particularly Coffee was still falling. The Governor was on a tour through the Moluccas, and it was generally believed, that on his return, something definitive would be settled, with regard to the com. merce of eireat.Britain.

It is too early to venture an opinion on the crop yet in progress of manufacture, but it is probable that it may nearly reach 95,631, which is the average of the last four years.

BAHLA.—A private letter from Bahia, dated 2.1 d November, states that. in consequence of the late revolu tionary movements among the troops, every thing like business was still at a stand, ,and that such bad been the state of the public .mind, that the growers of sugar in the interior had withheld their produce. In consequence of advices from Liverpool, to the middle of October, a great rise had taken place in that article. From 000 to 11,000 ]teas per aroba has been paid-for browns, and from 1,600 to 1,700 for whites.— Measures have been taken for the e:nharkation of the disaffected troops, when tranquillity will be restored, and commercial ope rations resumed. NEW UNIVERSITY.—In coniequence of the overflow of students at both our Universities, it is in contempla don to found a third University in the neighbourhood of York, towards which the venerable and. excellent Earl FurzwlLLto.3l has promised to subscribe fifty thiousand pounds. MEXICO. Frans the Hampshire Tekgraph.) On Wednesday his Majesty's sloop the Su-. . r;riani, Captain Clem. CROLE, arrived from the West India • station, where she had been employed upwards of four years. j _She sailed from Jamaica on the 29th August, as convoy to Campeche and Alvarado ; staid some time at Vera Crui, which place she quitted for England on the 13th of November : called again at Campeche, and then at Havannah, whence she sailed on the 13th of December, giving protection through the Florida Stream to the British brig Dispatch. She brought die patches. from Mr. Harvey, his Majesty's Commissioner at Mexico, relative (no doubt) to the present state , of Mexico; and from Mr. Morrier, who was on his way to that city, having ar rived at -Vera Cruz, in his Majesty's frigate Diamond, after a good passage from England. Lord Napier, and some of the officers of the Diamond, had accompanied Mr. Monier and his suite to Mexico. Mr. M. was received at Vera Cruz with distinguished military honours. The Diamond may be ex pected to arrive home in about two months, with Mr. Ilarvey, whom Mr. Merrier has been appointed to succeed. We are gratified to hear that the accounts from Mexico are favourable to the commencement of a new era in commercial prosperity and political importance, which, we have no doubt, will be the result of the liberal and enlightened policy of our Go vernment towards that extensive and interesting country.— Since the expiatory . death of Iturbide, there had been no ap pearance of intestine faction, but the people seem united in sentiment and ol.ject ; the feeble power which Spain long held there was completely dissolved. and to use the favourite phra seology of the contemptible Ferdinand, the country was nearly " purified" of all Old Spaniards. The Castle of San Juan de Ulloa still held out, but it is only desirable to reduce that for tress, from its being situated at the entrance of the port of Vera - Cruz. The Mexicans, however, had strengthened Fort Mocamboon the Main, and fortified the island of Sacrificios, for the purpose of securing to themselves the anchorage. Pre parations had been made in the Castle to open a fire upon the City, as well as - to attack the Island with gun-boats. Each party has thirteen of these boats. Those of the Mexicans can not leave Alvarado, from want of seamen. The city was almost entirely abandoned by the inhabitants, who occupy huts erect ed upon the plain, and between the sand hills beyond the walls. The forts of the city side had been put in a state of tolerable defence, and troops from the interior had completed the gar rison and out posts to about two thousand men, besides a mili tia, including every person capable of bearing arms; this letter force mounts guard In the city every Sunday they are armed by the Republic, but are neither paid nor clothed ; the regu lars are well organised, are paid monthly, and respectably clothed. About six hundred convicts were brought from Forte Perote (situated in the interior) to erect fortifications ; but most of them were removed from the Island of Sacrificio, to the Main, after they had completed the forts, not being consi dered faithful in the event of an attack. The ci-devinzt Cap tain-General of Mexico. Lemaur, was residing in the- Castle of San Juan de Ulloa, as Governor. It is- - understood, that he enjoys the salary and allowances attached to his com mission as Captain-General, which amount to a very consider able annuity ; his integrity to the Royal cause is, there fore, undoubted. The Lieutenant-Governer, Colonel An tonio Eaten, took a passage to Havannah in the Surinam, and his mission was supposed to be important; a convoy for the relief of the Castle being appointed shortly after his arrival. the strength of the garrison was said to' be 700 men, besides, women, children, and servants, but in consequence of a want of, fresh provisions, some cases of scurvy - had occurred, particularly amongst the seamen who man the gun-boats, they being the. oldest residents. Fish taken around the reefs is the only fresh, provisions obtained, Ainless from Havannah, by the victuallers. sent down about every four months; yet, generally,.the Castle might be considered healthy. The Spaniards have only one frigate in that quarter, which is kept for the purpose of throw ing supplies into the Castle. The Surinam spoke the Isis on Nov. 14, going into Vera Cruz. The Surinam has brought to England about 280,000 dollars, and 100 serons of cochineal,'on merchants' account. She proceeded this morning.to :Chatham to bepaid off. NEW SOUTH WALES. In ourlast Number we made some -remarks on the situation of New South Wales, and have since had the pleasure to learn front an intelligent colonist that our opinions are well founded respecting the general peaceful behaviour and 'inoffensiveness of the natives of New Holland. It is only on the N.W.' shores that any thing like vindictive or ferocious con- duct has been shown, and probably wherever this spirit has been called4orth_a.ggre i ssion and insult have caused it. We trust, however, that even in that quarter any • angry - feelings will not continue, as our Government have directed a new settle ment to be thrilled in Torres Straits, for wilich purpose the ship Countess, of Harcourt, with 110 men, 40 women, and 25 children, accompanied by his Majesty's .ship Tamar ; Captain Bremer, was to sail on the 23th of August from Sydney . for Melville Island, or its vicinity. There, not only the natives will have the advantage .of witnessing the good effects of civilization, but the Malaya, Chinese, and other traf fickers, who have frequented the strsits for the purpose of taking beck de mer, birds' nests, &c. will resort for the profit of bar tering their commodities and products for British manufactures. Every praise is due to government for the promptitude dis aplayed in this instance of carrying into effect the suggestions nd wishes of the merchants, who recommended the formation of a colony on the northern coast of that immense island.— Capt. Barlow, of the Buffs, was appointed commandant of the new settlement. It has been too much the fashion of some Journalists to at tribute every appointment of government to corrupt motives, or under parliamentary influence; but, on turning our attention to New South Wakt, a striking instance is exhibited to the con trary, as we believe that Gen. Darling, the newly appointed governor, and Alexander Mac Leay, Esq. the new colonial se cretary, owe their nominations to merit and talent alone ; and we know of no appointments which have recently afforded so much satisfaction. The former, after performing the duties of Assistant -Adjutant General at the Horse Guards, became Provincial Governor of the Mauritius, when his attention to the interests of the colony were conspicuous, and his urbanity and discrimination universally admitted. The latter gentle man was Secretary. to the Transport Board during the whole of the late war, and performed the most arduous duties with great zeal and unremitting labour. He is also well known, not only in this country, but over all Europe, as one of the most scien tific naturalists and horticulturists ; and the Linnwan Society of London, of which he has long been the gratuitous secre tary, will deeply lament his absence. In such hands as these we may confidently look forward to the increased prosperity of the colony, which has already become an important acquisition to the mother country, and cannot fail in a very few years, from the fertility of its soil, the salubrity of its climate, and the enterprise of its inhabitants, to stand amongst. the very first of British possessions. It has our best wishes for its pros perity, and we shall, from time to time, lay before our readers some valuable information respecting it..—(Telescope.) Amongst the many new inventions on the tapir' we should not lose sight of those which come imme diately within our daily and indeed almost hourly wants., The articles we now allude to are those of cocoa paste and prepared chocolate powder, that is the cocoa, and chocola-t.e_nut manufactured by an entire new and superior process, each of which are so expeditiously prepared for use that less than one minute of time only is required to make them into a most agreeable beverage. The great obstacle to the more frequent use of both cocoa and chocolate has certainly arisen from the difficulty of preparing them for table, and families have preferred the daily use of tea more from the simplicity of the mode of making it than from choice on account of its virtues.— The method of making the cocoa paste and cho colate poWder ready for use is still more simple than tea, for it is merely required to put a spoon ful of either in your cup, pour the boiling water thereon, and it is immediately ready for use, ad ding milk and sugar to your palate. The Public are indebted to the house of DEACON and Co. of the Coffee Mart,. Skinner-street, London, for the improvements in the mode of manufacturing cocoa paste and prepared chocolate powder which, by their plan, will keep free from mould or turn ing musty for any length of time. This is a very desirable invention, and, we hear, meets with great encouragement from th© army and navy, public schools, colleges, and the .inns of court, through which channels we understand they are introducing their articles of cocoa paste and pre pared chocolate .powder.---We wish them success. We have received this tnorning from Paris by Express, the Mode, dated yesterday. It ap pears by a private letter in this Journal from Rehia, dated the 1 28th of November, that Omani pedal authority was expected to he re-established in that town within a few days. The two officers who assassinated the Governor, FELTS. DERTO Gomm, have sailed for the United States, but Captain MACARIO, who was one of the or ganizers of the insurrection, and by whose orders the Governor was murdered, is still in the town. Dissensions, however, had broken out among the Republican Chiefs, and the Imperial troops had taken advantage of them, and would, in all probability, succeed in restoring the Em peror's authority. PARIS, JA)r. 22.—French Five per Cents. opened at 102 f. 90c., and closed of 102f.13ic. for money ; and 102 f. 95c. for the end of the month. The Paris Papers of Thursday and Friday arrived last night. The Public Offices were shut on the latter day as the Anniversary of the death of Louts XVI.; and we have not of course any quotation of the Rentes that day, nor would any Papers be published the following morn ing. The Mouiteur contains a Royal Ordi- nance, authorising a Company to erect a new bridge over the Rhone at Lyons, opposite the Place du Concert ; it is to be called the bridge of CIIARLES X. The Company are to be indemni fied by the privilege of levying, for 99 years, a toll, as fixed by a tariff annexed to the Ordinance. By the same mail with the papers, private let ters were received, from which it appears that the Ministerial project of law for indemnifying the Emigrants is the object of the most violent and incessant attacks on the part of those for whose benefit it is brought ferward, and that it is very doubtful whether it will pass even the Chamber of Deputies, over whom it was sup posed the influence of M. DE VILLELE was irre sistible. But whatever may he the fate of the Minister's measure with the Deputies, the oppo sition it is sure to encounter in the Upper Cham ber renders it next to a certainty that it will there be thrown out.

The French have at present against them all the servile and monastic population, which composes the great majority of the people. It is a me lancholy circumstance to have spent such immense sums, to have shown so much generosity, and not to have found more friends. Ail that we now say is however the exact truth.— (Courier Francais.) PARIS ' Jaw. 2l.—We have already predicted that the con duct and language of our publicists who advocate Jesuitism wo l dd tend to eusperate the EnglishGoverthnent against th; Catholics, and make it consider individuals who profess this Faith as dangerous, and ready to revolt against the Government. The Etoile in reproaching Mr. Canning for having recognised the South American Republics, threatens him with vengeance from India and Ireland. Nothing can do more injury to the cause of the Catholics of Ireland than such threats, which be get a belief that there exists a connection between them and our congregation of Jesuits. Nothing can be more likely to expose them to severity, for it is wellknown that the Ultramontane Militia allow neither kings nor people to enjoy peace unless they are themselves kept in obedience. Fanaticism, which has ruined the Peninsula, and destroyed the liberties of the Gal lican Church, may retard the civilization of Ireland for a whole century. Those, too, who blow up the fire of sedition in that country, make it a crime in England to recognise the inde pendence of the Spanish colonies. Resistance to oppres sion seems in their view to be right only in the Jesuits and their friends. As.to India, the English have remarked witty , surprise, that the Birmans mamsuvre after the European man— ner, and employ arms made in Russia: This discovery has caused some sensation at London,-and to it is attributed the re solution of the British Cabinet to leave off temporising. Mr. Stratford Canning, it is supposed, is instructed to ask from the Court of Petersburgh an explicit explanation on these points.— ( Constitutionnel.) We extract from German Papers, which al-- rived this morning, an article from Augsburg,. containing some sensible observations on the late fruitless negociations between France and Hayti, which are peculiarly interesting at the present moment. The story of the meditated invasion of St. Domingo by France, mentioned in the Hague Courant,is quite incredible; and theAugshurg writer shows very clearly that it would be more for the interest of France to effect an amicable arrange ment with Hayti, and thus secure to herself a. productive trade with her former Colony and no ample indemnity for the French Colonists, that to resort to open force, and run all the risks of war, destructive alike of her soldiers and her re sources. A UGSBITIZG, JAN.I7. . The Allgemeine Zeitung contains a very long article con cerning Hayti, headed France, 3d January. 'this article has lost much of its interest by the publication of the official docu ments relative to the late negociations between France and • Hayti. The writer recapitulates the negociations that have taken place since the restoration of the Bourbons. First was the mission of General Lavaysse immediately after the restoi ration, which failed, because he required that Hayti should re turn to the state of a colony : it is remarkable that the French Government afterwards denied having.sent him on this mission, while the Government of Hayti affirms that the Gene ral delivered- to it his original instructions, signed bY the Minister of the Marine. 'The Second attempt was in 1816, when Lieutenant-General Fontanges and Mona , . Esmangart were sent to Hayti; to induce Petion and Christophe to recognize the supremacy. of France. The conditions proposed were on the whole very favourable- . Petion was not satisfied, because they did not recognize the in depence of the Republic. The negociations having been again broken off, it is not unlikely that if France had felt itself suffi ciently strong it would have attempted hostile measures. lo these latter years indeed France might perhaps have felt itself able to make an attempt, but as it has done mottling for eight years, it may be presumed to have renounced the idea of con quest, especially as it has again proposed negociations. It was not to be supposed that France meant to repeat the proposals rejected in 1816 ; but that it was prepared to recog nise the independence of its former Colony, at least under cer tain conditions. Nor could it be expected on the other hand: that the Government of Hayti would abandon the basis it had before laid down, for though it might have more to fear now front the power of France, yet the safety and strength of theikepub• lie is increased by the union of the whole island under ono chief, and the position of England with respect to the South American States affords a kind of collateral support to Hr., ti. Ir may be presumed that French commerce would enjoy some peen' liar advantages in return for the abandonment of its pretensions/ and would be favoured also by the predilection for every thing French which may be supposed to exist among a people living in the French manner. The Colonists would be indemnifien, for the loss of their plantations by the sum of 100 millions ei francs, which would be a very reasonable compensation to be,. paid byi the Haytians, to whom the property would be mow more valuable, and it is not likely they would refuse to pay is' The grand cause of the rejection of the proposals of Frani°, probably is its demand to place strong garrisons in the toy most important points of the island, as a guarantee for the pet: ment of the stipulated sum. It seems reasonable in France to require security, and prudent in Hayti to refuse a security of till. description. If Hayti, couldfind means to partlfe scam required once, no security would be wanted, and the reconciliation desarell by both parties might be brought about. It cannot be doubted ths the Government of Hayti might easily make a loan for 4 million sterling in England on reasonable terms, as soon as it w certain that the sum will be applied to obtain from France 01 recognition of the independence of the Republic. The politie s situation of Hayti would afford the lenders much better sass: * rities than any of the new South American Governments', which have borrowed such large sums in a short time. 'Tis• energetic Proclamation of Boyer, on the return of his nee ciators, does not take away all hope of an amicable arrant' ment. He shews himself as a prudent Chief, ready to meet ' worst that may happen ; and it may rather be hoped tn.; France will be sensible that it will attain its object by Menai' means better than by open force.
