FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. PARIS, OCT. I.—Among the great persons who are to go tp the Congress, Maria Louisa, Duchess of Parma, is mentioned in the - German Papers. The arrival of M. de orbiere, Minister of the Interior, who •has recovered from his indis position, is announced •for the next week. An Evening Paper says, that early this month the Missionaries will renew their exercises at Paris. A Journal gives an extract of a letter from Par thenay, dated nth September, which has the %following news : " Moreau, one of the persons in contumacy in the trial of Poitiers, has shewn himself at Niort the 'last week. There was too much precipitation in the attempt to airest'him, and he was missed. In the house where he was a great number of eagles were found. One of the masters of the house was taken; --the other blew hie brains out. He came, it is said, to.assernble his friends to deliver the condemned frornprison. Others say he had been in the house for six months." They write from Strasburgh that the Council of Revision will take into consideration the trial of Lieut.-Colonel Caron . on an early day. The Journal des Mies has the following Note on the famous 'paragraph of The Courier, on the subserviency .of the Moly Alliance to the Autocrat of Europe : • " This article is in a tone to excite some surprise in Europe ; but the special fact, of which The Courier avails itself to make this sally, is not exactly as it represents it. The Emperor of Russia having successively employed several Statesmen in the negociations at Constantinople and Vienna, as well •as in the affairs' of Italy; these Diplomatists appear to have been called to Vienna and other place of Italy to give Information. — The Russian Envoys at the Congress, in the proper accep tation of the word, tlo not appear more numerous than those of France." We gave our readers, a Tew days ago, a letter from the intelligent M. Pecchio extracted from the Tres 111esi in Portogallo. Here is kportion of another .letter.: " The Revolutiow ef .Portugal is in the hands of firm and strong-minded men, full of sagacity. They are distinguished by union .and energy—their ranks close and impenetrable, like those of the Macedonian phalanx—they advance 'with security in the midst of enemies full of disorder, and, like the infernal column of Fontenoy, overcome all the .4stacles opposed to them. The Portuguese Liberals have foreseen the war in the interior which they will have to carry on ; they have formed their plan of the campaign, and will execute it with inexorable rigour. You may judge from the following facts : " The Revolution had hardly broken out at Oporto when the Regency at Lisbon offered a complete amnesty to all the Revolutionists, if they would return to their duty; and at the same time made a promise to convoke the Cortes. The tempta tion could not be more skilfully offered to make the Revolu tionists, yet uncertain of victory, balance in their future pro ceedings ; but the Liberators of Oporto did not allow them selves to be seduced by these flattering words, and, far from accepting the amnesty, .they threatened to punish severely all those who did not join them ; and, in place of being dazzled by the promise of convoking the Cortes, they declared, that they alone, in the name of the Nation, and not the Regency, had the right to convoke them. " The English Minister, in the early part of the Revolution, also tried to lessen their hopes. He offered them his support and the assistance of England, on condition that they should adopt a Constitution with two Chambers, and give the King a 'Veto ; but the Liberals. refused this powerful protection, rather than in the least change the plan they had conceived. " The return of the King to Europe last year was another dangerous crisis for liberty ; the counter revolution was pre pared ; the -signal Of attack was to be the landing of the King. The Cortes saw the danger, and immediately changed _all the Colonels of the different regiments ; they kept the con spirators away from the King, and were inflexible in regard to the ceremonial of the debarkation 'of the King. The con spiracy failed. • . " The Portuguese Liberals have felt the error Which was committed by the Liberals of Spain, in separating themselves from the King. 'They saw that if they allowed him to be sur rounded by his former courtiers, he would be always isolated ' from the people, and in the end mistrust would arise in the per sons who did not frequent the Court : they offered therefore to 'the King to form his Court, and they have proved that the sin , cere devotion of honourable citizens is a sufficient compensation :for the interested assiduities of courtiers." In another letter of M. Pecchio, he says, " Till 1825, Por gul is obliged to maintain, as the heritage of despotism, - the ' Treaty of Commerce concluded in 1319, with England, which excludes from Portugal the production of all foreign countries --to give • a complete monopoly to England. The wish of the merchants is, that Lisbon should, be declared a-free port. They arc in the right ; has not nature destined Lisbon to be the great magazine of Europe ?—( Le Constitutionnel.) • The 'Journal des Mbats gives the following news - from the frontiers of Spain : " L'Eclio du Midi has published the following letter, which thews what was the isue of the movement of the army of Mina on Seo-d'Urgel • ' " Urgel, &pt. 20, 1822, Half-past Bin the Morning. " ' I have only time to tell you that at this'moment the offi cial report has arrived of the victory gained by our General-in- Chief, Baron d'Errolles, over the division of Tabuenca, con sisting of 4000 men, between the bridge of Montagnana, and Benavarre, or on the frontiers of Catalonia and Airrgon. " ' The battle began at six o'clock in the morning, and end ed at three o'clock in the afternoon of the 18th ; the result was, the complete defeat of the Constitutionalists, Tabuenca, and the principal Officers of his division, are made prisoners ; all his artillery, baggage, arms, colours, &c. are in our possession, and all his soldiers have been killed, wounded, or made pri. Goners. The enemy's force consisted of three regiments of infan try, viz. the Toledo, Estramadura, Jaen, &c. Although our loss in killed arid woituded is very inconsiderable, we have to regret the brave •Lieutenant Pinto. The Cruelty of the enemy who assassinated anunfortunate soldier surrendering his arms, has redoubled the courage of our people, and all the firmness .of our General was necessary 'to keep back his troops. A Te Dennz is to be .chaunted in the Cathedral of Urgel.' ." Another letter from Seo d'Urgel, dated the 14th, has the ,following details '" This town looks like a small capital : never has it be held so much,animation; here there is a manufactory of arms, and there of soldiers' clothing ; farther on, prisoners at work putting the citadel in a state of defence. The battle of San Xamand was as advantageous as possible for the Royalists. Cardona most surrender In a short time. The Royalists have ' sponecl the water, -and the garrison is already reduced to eat dogs and cats. It is said the Regency will establish itself in this town as soon as it is in.our power. General Quesada set out yesterday for his post, escorted.by a company of dragoon*, clothed like Frenchmen ; he has -submitted to the Regency. Bessieres has been:zuiltr of an infamous treason against . the Trappist, who is at present here. The Regency hag . set a price .on the head of this wretch. A person of high importance is arrived, but we do not yet know his mission. At this moment sixty militiamen and a Lieutenant-Colonel are brought in prisoners.'" The Journal de Paris says that the Journal de Toulouse mentions not a word of this great vic tory of the Baron D'Eroles, a►►d confirms the defection of Bessi&es to the Constitutionalists with 200,000 francs belonging to the Army of the Faith. A letter from Bayonne, of Sept. 2.2, says— " The three provinces of Biseay are almost evacuated by the soldiers of the Faith. A great number of moveable columns scour the country, and leave no rest for a few insignificant guerillas. We consequently see daily fugitives arrive in Ba yonne ; forty who had landed at Socoa came in 10-day." (Journal de Toulouse.) LEGHORN, SEPT. 1 s.—The following . extract from a private letter of a Greek, affords a fresh proof of the contradictions which are involved in the various reports of the affairs of the Morea : " You have learnt certainly with regret the disastrous events which for a time desolated the Morea. Happily more satisfactory news has reached us within these few days. A vessel from the island of Spezzio, which has just entered this, port, and a passenger, who has been on the very spot, have fully confirmed this happy.news. After mentioning in general terms the passage of the Thermopylm by the Turks, the suc cessful measures taken by the Greeks, the great straits to which the Ottoman troops are reduced, and the hope tho the whole body which had passed the Thermopyhe might be cut off, &c. the writer adds the fdllowing " P. S. Aire have this moment received letters from Corfu, of the 27th August. The defeat of the Turks in the Morea is fully confirmed. Some remnants of their army had thrown , themselves into Corinth, where they are destitute of provisions and ammunition. The Turkish fleet had conveyed 3,000 men from Patras to Camdilla, in Acarnania, who were to act in con junction with other troops drawn from Arta and Prevesa.— These-troops marched against Loutroki, Punta, and Vonitza, but all their combined attacks were repulsed with great loss.— The Suliots afterwards descended into the plain, surprised the Turks, and made a great slaughter among them. The Al banese have again quarrelled with Omer Pacha, and they have already come to blows. Maurocordato Is at Mahola, Cantecu zena and,Botzaria at Careilia, with considerable forces. Napoli di Romania finally surrendered to the Greeks on the 17th Aug. —Chourschid Pacha is ill at Larissa."—(Oracle of Brussels, October 1.) STaAsBURG, SEPT. 25.—Yesterday, at 7 in the evening, the Duke of Wellington, accompanied by the Earl of Clanwilliam, Lord Somerset, Col. Cathcart, Dr. Hume, and several other persons, arrived in this city. He crossed the Rhine this morning at 8 o'clock, to proceed on his journey to Vienna. He was to stop next night at Stut gard. We are assured that he will find the Sovereigns of Austria and Russia in Bavaria, and will there pay his respects to them. FRANKFORT, SEPT. Majesty the King of Prussia, under the name of Count Von Rup,pin, and his suite, arrived here to-day. He will set ' set off to-morrow for Manheim, where he will pass the night, and on the 27th enter Carlsruhe. LF.IIII3.ERG, SEPT. 11.—Of 2,000 houses which the two previous fires at Jassy had spared, only eighty remain, besides the principal wing of the Palace. This misfortune is not to be attributed to negligence or accident, since every third house has .been set fire to, but to cool calculation. It was wished to remove the residence of the Prince to Raman, a town .15 miles from Jassy. There perished in the flames, victims to their thirst of pillage, L 75 Turks. The Christians destroyed cannot be calculated ! The fine aqueduct,. the work of several Greek Princes, is entirely ruined. The wretched people whose houses have been burned, wander about the country without shelter, and in the most frightful indigence—a dreary spec tacle for the observer of the uniform wretchedness of a country which once resembled a vast garden. With what riches and resources has nature furnished this fine country ! Though the richest pasturages, between the Danube and Pruth, have passed un der the dominion of Russia, there are still excel lent lands for horses and cattle in the low coun try, watered by the South, and there will with, difficulty be found any country to compare with Moldavia for the keeping of cattle, so long as the old code of Prince Ghika is followed, which forbids the killing of calves. According to the same code the peasant has only twelve days to• labour for his Lord in the year : he consequently lives in abundance. The Boyard draws the greater part of his revenue from pastures let to Armenians and Jews. He avoids the building of villages, for' he would deri7e no advantage from them, and he would be obliged to give to the; new inhabitants lands, which he knows .better how to make a profit of himself. A proof of the solidity of their prosperity is, that even lately the Boyards of the inferior class were able to collect voluntarily 300,000 piastres, which they sent as a present to the new Prince of Silistria. The importance which several German Papers attach to the attempt at a movement in the corps of Sabanieff, has afforded mirth here to more than one observer of the event. _ _ . WARSAW, SEPT. 4.—We expect to-day his Majesty the King of Prussia : several carriages of his suite have arrived this morning. _ VIENNA, SEPT. Imperial Highness the Archduke Francis Charles, his Majesty's second son, returned here on the 17th, from his tour in Moravia and Bohemia. The departure of the Monarchs for Verona will not take place so soon as was expected.— Prince Metternich sets out on the 30th of this month, the Emperor of Austria, on the Ist of October, the Emperor, of Russia on the 2(1. Their Majesties will go through Tyrol ; on their way they will pay a visit to the King of Bavaria, and arrive at Verona on the 1 3th of October. BRUSSELS, SEP. 30.—We learn from Lille that the Department of the North furnish 1,800 men, in the levy of the Class of ).821, ,which was.com pleted in.that city the day before yesterday. The, young men set out on the Bth and 13th of October for the corps with which they are to be incorpo- rated. SPA IN. MADRID, SEPT. . 20.—The journal called the Telegraph states, that information is received from the Spanish Ambassador in Lisbon, that the Portuguese Government has sent into the province of Entre Duero and IVlinho a division of 8,000 men, under the command of General Luis de Rego. This division is to serve in Spain as an auxiliary corps, and to co-operate in favour of the independence of both nations, by ad vancing towards the Pyrennees, and also pur suing and capturing the factious Spaniards who may endeavour to take refuge in Portugal. Don Alexander Roca Lamiugno, the leader of the conspiracy which lately broke out in the Asturias, was on the lith con demned to sufferdeath. Atahasio Garcia, a canon of the'Cathedral of Toledo, who had put himself , at the head of a banditti, and committed ra. rages in New Castile, was taken on the 10th in a wood, and immediately conveyed to prison. The letters freradifferent points of Galicia speak of military promenades made in all directions through that great province, particularly on the *de of Portugal, by moveable columns, for the purpose of observing the state of public spirit and watching the intrigues of the' Spanish refugees in Portugal. The re ports which they make concur in stating, that the greatest tranquillity and the best , spirit every where prevail.—( Te legrafo.) , We know that General Mina, reinforced by the troops of General Torrejos, was to leave Lerida on the 13th, to operate actively against the factious ; and though we are ignorant of the plan of his operations, he must, we think, have chosen one of two points. He would either advance on San Ramon and Cervera, dispersing the banditti he might meet in his way ; or he would ascend the Segre to the Seo-d'Urgel. But he can not effect the latter movement so as to make it produce deci sive advantages without first occupying Balaguer—an opera don which would take up some days, as that town is sur rounded by strong walls. To enable General Mina to act freely, he must reinforce Man resa by the troops lately arrived at Barcelona from Andalusia. We believe that the troops which entered the province of Tar ragona from Valencia were to march towards Lerida, in order to form Mina's rear guard. . . As the junction of Quesatla with the Insurgents of Catalonia is certain, Colonel Tabuenca and the Commandant Garcia will also have to enter that province. Their union will produce it sufficient force to clear away the bands of the Army of the Faith. What is most indispensable is to leave General Mina every latitude, and to display energy and activity in the four military divisions which are the threatre of the operations.— Thus tranquility and good order will soon be restored.— (Espeetarlor.) General William Pepe *arrived at Madrid on the 1-6th from England by the way of Portugal. He experienced the same reception as on his first visit to this capital. Several changes have been made among' the Political Chiefs. The French frigate the Antigone arrived on the 4th. at Cadiz, from the Havannah. She brings considerable sums in money, and va luable produce for the Spanish Government and the merchants of Cadiz. The letters fro►h the Havannah are 't&the 23d of July. The Camp-Marshal Yelasco, tried at Seville for signing a patriotic address to the King on the 17th of pecember last, has been honourably acquitted. The judgment of the Council of War declares that this officer' did nothing more than fulfil his political military duty.---( Universal.) . LA GUAYRA, JULY 31. 'We have had the pleasure of seeing arrive here within the last ,fevi days, the first ship direct f'..om the port of London that has yet entered any of the ports of Co lombia,-the Leda, Captain Jones, laden with a cargo of Bri tish manufactures, consigned to the house of Jones, Powles, and Co. The Captain says he• had a very fine passage of thirty-three days; he has acted very wisely in not touching any where in these seas. All ships' coming from England should be recommended to do the same, and particularly to avoid St. 7homas's, which seems to be the great ,resort for the rascally privateers and pirates that infest these seas. I hope this ship is the forerunner of a good and wholesome trade he tween England and Colombia. There is no fear of the trade, if managed with discretion, and if people will keep in mind that a country suffering what this has done, cannot yet be in a condition to make large purchases from other countries. To send here more than the people can pay for is doing no good. As far as I can hear of the Leda's cargo; it seems of a mode rate size, and assorted with judgment. Advices have been received from the United' States, that Colonel Todd was about to proceed here as Minister from that Government to the Government of Colombia, in the John Adams frigate. Conceive the advantages that all this is cal culated to give the Americans over the English in their in tercourse with this country ! It is galling to the English here to see it, I assure you. We have just had published here, too, a translation of M. Zea's Nose, issued from Paris to the Euro pean Governments, demanding the acknowledgment of the re cognition of Colombia. You may suppose how anxious we all, are to hear what our Government will do, upon it, particularly as it threatens, exclusion to intercourse with countries which refuse the acknowledgment. Depend on it the Government here will act up to Zea's note. Their feeling is that they want no favours--they only ask for common civility. As an Englishman myself, I would scorn to yield any thing to a threat, and I should be ashamed of any English Ministry that would do it—but if we are on the wrong side the post—if we are re fusing the claims of reason and justice—if-we are withholding that which in former days, and under tirCumstances sufficiently similar, Great Britain ..herself demanded and received from other nations, it is only a matter of integrity to abandon such a course of proceeding—and .4 is but common prudence to ice that a perseverance in it may produce mischief. Trade is re gular and steady here, but produce scarce, and will be so for some months to come. The following are present prices : Cotton, 21l to 22 dollars per quintal, first quality—scarce: Cocoa, 23 dollars per fanega—scatce.. , • Cotton, Indigo, Hides—prices nominal. None in the market. NANTES, SEPT. 13. We were on the point of having a:revolt here last Thursday. A Swiss had menaced, •and even taken aim at one of his.officers—he was arrested, given up to the justice of the regiment, and conionned to death ; but the soldiers de clared that they would not execute the judgment, and that' they would not suffer it to be executed by others. • They went even so far as to threaten that they would. spread themselves among the inhabitants, and join them, against the authorities of the town. However, the preparations for 'the execution, and the fatal sledge . destined •to convey the dead body was brought to the place, where it remained all the night : but the • dis content of the regiment continued to increase, and they durst Colonel . , th h i t ng aurn, The Prefect, the Mayor, the e t venture to endtile `undertake ce met in .Cbuncil, and deliberated in e g r et t out midnight. Atlength it was concluded that they might get out of the difiitulty by'naming a Council of Revision, which annulled the judgme nt , an d co nd e mned the guilty individual to a few years confinement in irons. This unusual, procedure, and the triumph of the mutineers, have given rise to ranch 'uneasiness'. Such are the fruits of the want of discipline, anti the impunity to which the Government, car ried away by blind passion, has accustomed the soldiers in all th e excesses which they commit against the inhabitants. It will hich eish by the impious armll w t employs in destroying the onstitutional regime and liberty. FLORIDA. MEETING of the FIRST LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY. [From the Washington Gazette of Aug. 21.] MONDAY, JULY 22.—This day at twelve o'clock the following Members of the Legislative Council appeared and answered to their names, viz. James C. Bronaugh, Richard K. Call, Edmund Law , John Miller, Wm. Reynolds, James R. Hanham, Greenbury Gaither, and George Murray—who being a majority of the whole Council, the Governor admini stered the oath to them, to support the Constitution of the United States, so long as they continue citizens thereof, and to discharge the duties of their office faithfully, and-to the best of their abilities. " Gentlemen of the Legislative Council, " The flattering manner in which you have called me to pre side over this honourable body, has excited in my mind emo tions which I shall not attempt to describe. I should, how ever, do great injustice to my feelings were I to withhold from you an expression of my sincere and grateful acknowledgments 1 for this distinguished mark of your confidence. " Conscious of possessing but little practical experience of the forms of legislation, I am but too sensible of my inadequacy to discharge the duties of the station assigiied me, in a man -ner calculated to meet even your most just expectations; I therefore assume its functions with great diffidence, and the most anxious solicitude for the result; confidently relying on your liberality for acharitable indulgence of any errors which I may commit, and on your wisdom for guidance and support —all I dare promise is rectitude of intention, strict impartiality, and a constant, zealous exertion, on my part, to discharge the duties assigned me, an as to merit your approbation. " As the first Legislative Body assembled in this territory, we are called upon to perform a task of great importance to its future welfare; we are required to lay the foundation of the laws and Government of a territory, which at present, although but little known, is perhaps destined, at no very distant clay, to become one of the most wealthy anti respectable members of the American confederacy. Let us, therefore, unite in the work with harmohy and good will, and by the usefulness of our la bours, satisfy the expectations of the people of Florida, and jus tify the confidence of the President and Congress of the United States." The Council then proceeded to elect their officers—when John Coppinger Connor was chosen Clerk, and Jabez N. Brown was elected Serjeant at Arms. The Council being now organized, Mr. Murray moved, that the Governor be informed that the Legislative Council is now ready to proceed to business; and Messrs. Miller and Gaither were appointed a Committee for that purpose. Mr. Miller reputed that the Committee had waited on the Governor, and received for answer that he would immediately communicate his message to the Council. On motion, Messrs. Law, Call, and Murray, were appointed a Committee, to draft rules and regulations for the House. A message was received from the Governor by Col. Walton, secretary, and was read as follows :, " Gentlemen of the Legislative Council, "Circumstances over which we had not controul, have pre vented us from meeting earlier; I trust, however, no serious inconvenience will result from the delay. " Permit me to call your attention to some few of the many subjects on which you will ,find it necessary to legislate; the superior courts for this territory cannot exercise jurisdiction in matters of debt or contract under 100 dollars ; inferior courts ought therefore to be established for the purpose of adjudicating upon such small sums.; and with such further powers as may be thought expedient and warranted by the organic law ; as also to be intrusted with the controul over roads, mills, ferries, and other matters of police within their respective counties. They should also possess the power to try all offenders in penal and criminal cases not made capital by the acts of Congress. " Some provisions are also required by which the causes now pending in the several Courts of Florida may be transferred to the superior Courts, and to such inferior tribunals as you may create.. 4 . all cases of a penal or criminal character, the common law is better calculated than any other, to secure the accused a fair and impartial trial. By the act of Congress, establishing the Government of the territory of Florida, the laws in force at the passing of the Act, not inconsistent with the Constitution and the laws of the United States relating to Florida, as de dared by the Act, shall continue in force, until altered, modified, or repealed, by the Legislature. " The uncertainty as to the laws actually in force in Florida, renders it your duty to give to the territory the basis of such a code, as can be clearly and certainly understood by the great , body of the people. The civil code, as in force under the Spa. nish Government, was not always die' same in her several Pro vinces—many of her lawt- were of necessity local in their cha racter—and rested on decrees and ordinances not now to be obtained. " I advise, therefore, that the common law be adopted as the basis of our code, ingrafting upon it such provisions of the civil law, as are best calculated to secure to our citizens an ample, speedy; and certain redress for any injuries:they may sustain. "']'hat there exist serious objections to the common law can not be denied. Too often we see justice yielding her best and most §acred rights to the skill of the cunning pleader, or fettered under its unbending forms and rigid rules; yet divest it of these evils—call in the aid of the civil law to simplify the rules and forms of judicial proceeding, and to do away the absurd fictions on which several of the common law actions rest, and you may combine whatever is excellent in both systems, and avoid what ever is objectionable in either, as a distinct code. The civil law has long been in force in Florida; the titles to real and per• sonal estate being founded upon it, you cannot make any radi cal alteration, so as to affect existing rights. " It will readily occur to you, Gentlemen, that a revenue is indispensably necessary, to meet the expences which must arise in the execution of our local laws, and the subjects proper for taxation, to meet this object, will claim your attention. 44 Gentlemen of the Legislative Council, the subjects on which you will necessarily be compelled to legislate are so va rious, that to call your attention specially to each of them would be as tedious as it is unnecessary. To regulate with .prudence and wisdom the government of the territory, is not less your desire than mine. The interest, feeling, and wishes of the people who have lately become citizens of the United States ought to be consulted, and treated with candour and li berality. Let us by our acts prove to them, that they are re • garded by us as brothers of the same great family. " Gentlemen, I rely with confidence on your support, and with candour and promptness on my part, you shall ever find me ready to sanction and execute such of your acts as will tend to the harmony and prosperity of our new country. That Florida will in a few years assume a rank among the states of our great and happy Union, if her citizens are united, and her Government just and wise, cannot be doubted. " On these great principles, then, let us all cordially unite -to increase the respectability and wealth of our country, by in viting into our .territory a population active and enterprising, and by promoting her agriculture and commerce. 44 Your fellow-citizen, " Pensacola, July 22, 1822. 44 WM. P. DUVAL." REPUBLIC OF HAYTI. LIBERTY—EQUALITY. Port-au-Prince, June 5, 1822,' 19th year of Independence. Copy of a Letter from B. INGlNAc,.General of Brigade, Se .- - -cret.ary-General to his ExCellency the President of Hayti, to Mr. JOSEPH WEBB, London. SIR—I am commanded by the President of Hayti to reply to the letter that you wrote to him, dated the 28th of October last year, and which, with an accompanying pamphlet, arrived here a week ago. His Excellency has read,, with a lively interest, your reflec tions on the abolition of the slave-trade,—on the advantages of education,—;on the care which ought to be taken to preserve religion in its purity,—and, finally, on the administrative and political means proper to preserve newly formed States, and even to promote their increase; he has particularly remark ed the correctness of the principles of liberty, which you profess. The Republic of Hayti, founded on the immoveable basis of a just and liberal Government, has triumphed over all the obstacles which seemed to oppose its establishment.— Its powerful arm has strangled the serpent of discord and the hydra of tyranny, which preyed on its vitals. The mildness of its laws has recalled to the bosom of their country those of its sons whom error had banished; and foreign commerce, assured of the good faith of the Haytians, fills our ports, and in exchange for the merchandise it brings, carries away the rich productions of a soil fertilized by the labour of free men. Quiet in the interior, strong enough not to fear at tacks from abroad, independent of all domination from be yond sea, and governing itself by its own institutions, it justi fies those philanthropists who have bravely defended its cause and interested themselves in its prosperity. This state of things will prove to you, Sir, that your views are perfectly in har mony with those which have constantly directed our Govern ment. You have also embraced in your solicitude the unhappy infants of Africa, and from this circumstance you have a just claim on those sentiments of gratitude I am commanded to express to you. I have the honour to be, &c. . B. INGINAC.
