CONSTITUTION OF HAYTI.
WE, H. Christophe, Clerveaux, Verdet, Gabart, Pétion, Gessard, Toussaint Brave, Raphael, Romain, Latondrie, Capoix, Magny, Daut, Conge, Magloire Ambroise, Yoyou, Jean Louis Francois, Gerin, Moreau, Fervu, Bazalais, Martial Besse;
As well in our own name as in that of the people of Hayti, who have legally constituted us faithful organs and interpreters of their will; in presence of the Supreme Being, before whom all mankind are equal, and who has distributed so many species of creatures on the surface of the earth for the purpose of manifesting his glory and his power by the diversity of his work: In the presence of all nature by whom we have been so long a time considered as out-cast children:
Do declare that the tenor of the present constitution is the spontaneous and invariable expression of our hearts and the general will of our constituents; and we submit it to the sanction of his majesty the emperor, Jacques Dessalines, our deliverer, to receive its speedy and entire execution.
Preliminary Declaration.
Article 1. The people inhabiting the island formerly called St. Domingo, hereby agree to form themselves into a free state, sovereign and independent of any other power in the universe, under the name of Empire of Hayti.
2. Slavery is forever abolished.
3. The citizens of Hayti are brothers at home, equality in the eye of the law is incontestably acknowledged; and there cannot exist any titles, advantages or privileges, other than those necessarily resulting from the consideration and reward of services rendered to liberty and independence.
4. The law is the same to all, whether it punishes, or whether it protects.
5. The law has no retractive effect.
6. Property is sacred, its violation shall be severely prosecuted.
7. The quality of citizen of Hayti is lost by emigration and naturalization in foreign countries, and by condemnation to corporal or disgraceful punishments. The first carries with it the punishment of death and confiscation of property.
8. The quality of citizen is suspended in consequence of bankruptcies and failure.
9. No person is worthy of being a Haytian who is not a good father, a good son, a good husband, and especially a good soldier.
10. Fathers and mothers are not permitted to disinherit their children.
11. Every citizen must possess a mechanic art.
12. No white man, of whatsoever nation he may be, shall put his foot on this territory with the title of master or proprietor, neither shall he in future acquire any property therein.
13. The preceding article cannot in the smallest degree affect white women who have been naturalized Haytians by government, nor does it extend to children already born or that may be born of the said women. The Germans and Poles naturalized by government are also comprized in the disposition of the present article.
14. All acceptation of color among the children of one and the same family, of whom the chief magistrate is the father, being necessarily to cease, the Haytians shall henceforward be known only by the generic appellation of Blacks.
Of the Empire.
15. The empire of Hayti is one and indivisible. Its territory is distributed into six military divisions.
16. Each military division shall be commanded by a general of division.
17. These general of division shall be independent of one another, and shall correspond directly with the emperor or with the general in chief appointed by his majesty.
18. The following islands are integral parts of the empire; viz. Samana, La Tortue, La Gonaiwe, Les Cayemites, La Saonel L'Isle-a-Vache, and other adjacent islands.
Of the Government.
19. The government of Hayti is entrusted to a first magistrate, who assumes the title of emperor and commander in chief of the army.
20. The people acknowledge for emperor and commander in chief of the army, Jacques Dessalines, the avenger and deliverer of his fellow citizens. The title
of majesty is conferred upon him, as well as his august spouse the empress.
21. The person of their majesties is sacred and inviolable.
22. The state will appropriate a fixed annual allowance to her majesty the empress, which she will continue to enjoy even after the decease of the emperor, as princess dowager.
23. The crown is elective, not hereditary.
24. There shall be assigned by the state an annual income to the children acknowledged by his majesty the emperor.
25. The male children acknowledged by the emperor shall be obliged, in the same manner as other citizens, to pass successively from grade to grade, with this only difference, that their entrance into service shall begin at the fourth demi-brigade, from the period of their birth.
26. The emperor designates, in the manner he may judge expedient, the person who is to be his successor, either before or after his death.
27. A suitable provision shall be made by the state to that successor from the moment of his accession to the throne.
28. The emperor, and his successors, shall, in no case, and under no pretext whatsoever, have the right of attaching to their persons any particular or privileged body, whether as guards of honor, or under any other denomination.
29. Every successor deviating from the dispositions of the preceding article, or from the principles consecrated in the present constitution, shall be considered and declared in a state of warfare against the society.
In such a case, the counsellors of state will assemble in order to pronounce his removal, and to chuse one among themselves who shall be judged the most worthy of replacing him; and if it should happen that the said successor oppose the execution of this measure authorised by law, the generals counsellors of state shall appeal to the people and the army, who will immediately give their whole strength and assistance to maintain Liberty.
30. The emperor makes, seals, and promulgates the laws; appoints and revokes, at will, the ministers, the general in chief of the army, the counsellors of state, the generals and other agents of the empire, the land and sea officers, the members of the local administrations, the commissaries of government near the tribunals, the judges, and other public functionaries.
31. The emperor directs the receipts and expenditures of the state, surveys the mint, of which he alone orders the emission, and fixes the weight and the model.
32. To him alone is reserved the power of making peace or war, to maintain political intercourse, and to form treaties.
33. He provides for the interior safety and for the defence of the state; and distributes at pleasure the sea and land forces.
34. In case of conspiracies manifesting themselves against the safety of the state, against the constitution, or against his person, the emperor shall cause the authors or accomplices to be arrested and tried before a special council.
35. His majesty has alone the right to absolve a criminal or to commute his punishment.
36. The emperor shall never form any enterprize with the view of making conquests, nor to disturb the peace and the interior administration of foreign colonies.
37. Every public act shall be made in these terms:
"THE EMPEROR I. OF HAYTI, AND COMMANDER IN CHIEF OF THE ARMY, BY THE GRACE OF GOD AND THE CONSTITUTIONAL LAW OF THE STATE."

21. Agriculture, as it is the first, the most noble, and the most useful of all the arts, shall be honored and protected.
22. Commerce, the second source of the prosperity of states, will not admit of any impediment; it ought to be favored and specially protected.

28. At the first firing of the alarm gun the citizens will disappear, and the nation rise.
We, the undersigned, place under the safeguard of the magistrates, fathers and mothers of fami-
lies, the citizens, and the army, the solemn covenant of the sacred rights of man and the duties of the citizen.
We recommend it to our successors, and present it to the friends of liberty, to philanthropists of all countries, as a signal pledge of the Divine Bounty, who, in the course of his immortal decree, has given us an opportunity of breaking our fetters, and of constituting ourselves a people free, civilized and independent.
Signed, H. CHRISTOPHE, &c. (as before.)

FRIDAY, JULY 19.
The ship Northern Liberties from Greenock took a pilot this morning. This ship will probably furnish British accounts to the latter end of May. [Charl. Cour.]
A gentleman who came passenger in the sloop Ranger (arrived yesterday) from Augustine, informs, that on Tuesday morning last, between St. Simon's and Savannah, as soon as it was light, they observed a heavy smoke to the eastward, and shortly after discovered a large French schooner mounting 18 or 20 guns, and apparently a great number of men on board, standing in for the shore, and a British sloop of war in pursuit of her. The chase and firing of the ship continued for about two hours, when the schooner, being close in shore, hove to, and our informant thinks she anchored. The ship immediately ceased firing, and continued to stand off and on; but they could not ascertain whether the privateer had struck her colors; they however plainly distinguished boats passing between them, and from this circumstance little doubt remains of the schooner being captured. The ship mounted fifteen or sixteen guns of a side and had more the appearance of a frigate than a sloop of war. At one period the Frenchman ran so near the sloop Ranger, as to place her immediately between the privateer and the ship, when the latter ceased firing, until the sloop got out of the bearings of her guns. Our informant further states, that he plainly saw several of the shot from the ship strike the privateer, and observed the Frenchmen dodging the moment they saw the flashes from the ship's guns. The schooner did not return the fire of the ship, but manoeuvred in every possible way to make her escape; but the ship having got to windward, prevented her. From the description given of the schooner, it is more than probable that she was the Matilda, the stoutest of the French privateers that have been cruising off our bar for some time past. The ship is supposed to be the Bacchante. Ibid.
Captain Bolchas, arrived yesterday in 6 days from Havana, informs us, that at 2 o'clock on Friday last, off Savannah, he witnessed an engagement between a French privateer and an English merchant ship—the action lasted about 45 minutes, when the privateer sheered off, and left the ship to pursue her course. The privateer is a fore top-sail schooner, and is undoubtedly one of those which have been cruising off this port lately, and the one which was chased to the southward on Tuesday last by the Driver sloop of war: she mounts 10 guns. The English ship was probably the Margaret, Guineaman, which is momentarily expected from New-Providence. Ibid.
A letter from captain Meriwether Lewis, to the President of the United States.
Fort Mandan, April 7th, 1805.
DEAR SIR,
HEREWITH inclosed you will receive an invoice of certain articles, which I have forwarded to you from this place; among other articles you will observe by reference to the invoice 67, specimens of earths, salts, minerals, and 60 specimens of plants; these are accompanied by their respective labels, expressing the days on which they were obtained, the places where found, and also, their virtues, and properties when known; by means of these labels, reference may be made to the chart of the Missouri, forwarded to the secretary of war; on which the encampment of each day has been carefully marked; thus the places at which

these specimens have been obtained may easily pointed out and again found should of them prove valuable to the commu- on further investigation. You will herewith also receive a part of Captain Clarke's private journal, the other part you will find inclosed in a separate tin box. This journal will serve to give you the daily details of our progress, and trans- missions. I shall dispatch a canoe with three, per- sons four persons, from the extreme navi- able point on the Missouri or the portage between this river and the Columbia river, either may first happen; by the return of canoe I shall send you my journal and one or two of the best kept by my I have sent a journal kept by one of serjeants to captain Stoddert at Fort Lewis, in order as much as possible to mul- the chances of saving something, we encouraged our men to keep journals, and seven of them do so; to whom in this respect we give every assistance in our power. I have transmitted to the secretary at war every information relative to the geography of the country we possess; together with view of the Indian nations, containing information relative to them, on those points with which I conceive it important the government should be informed. By reference to the muster rolls forward- to the war department, you will see the state of the party; in addition to which we have two interpreters, one negro man servant to captain Clarke and one Indian woman, wife to one of the interpreters, and a Mandan man, whom we take with a view to restore peace between the Snake Indians and those in this neighborhood, amounting a total with ourselves to 33 persons; by the means of the interpreters and Indians, we shall be enabled probably to converse with all the Indians we shall meet on the Missouri, I have forwarded to the secre- tary at war, my public accounts rendered up to the present day; they have been much longer delayed than I had any idea that they would have been when I departed from the Illinois; but this delay under the circum- stances which I was compelled to act, has been unavoidable. The provision perogue and her crew could not have been dismissed time to have returned to St. Louis, last fall, without evidently in my opinion ha- zarding the fate of the enterprize in which I am engaged, and I therefore did not he- sitate to prefer the censure that I may have incurred, by the detention of these papers, to that of risking in any degree the suc- cess of the expedition. The detention of these papers has been a source of serious disquiet and anxiety to me, and the recol- lection of your particular charge upon that subject, has made it still more poignant.— I am fully aware of the inconveniences which must have arisen to the war depart- ment from the want of these vouchers, pre- cious to the last session of congress; but how to avert it was out of my power to de- vise. From this place we shall send the barges and crew early to-morrow morning, with orders to proceed as expeditiously as possible to St. Louis, by her we send our dispatches, which I trust will get safe to hand; her crew consists of ten able bodied men, well armed, and provided with a suf- ficient stock of provisions to last them to St. Louis; I have but little doubt they will be fired on by the Sioux, but they have pledged themselves to us that they will not yield, while there is a man of them living. Our baggage is all embarked on board six small canoes, and two perogues; we shall set out at the same moment that we dis- patch the barge, one or perhaps both of these perogues we shall leave at the falls of the Missouri; from whence we intend con- tinuing our voyage in the canoes and a per- ogue of skins, the frame of which was prepared at Harper's ferry. This perogue is now in a situation that will enable us to prepare it in the course of a few hours; as our vessels are now small, and the current of the river more moderate, we calculate on travelling 20 or 23 miles per day, as far as the falls of the Missouri; beyond this point, or the first range of rocky mountains, situated about 100 miles farther, any calcu- lation with respect to our daily progress, can be little more than bare conjecture.— The circumstance of the Snake Indians possessing large stocks of horses, is much in our favor; as by means of horses the transportation of our baggage will be ren- dered easy and expeditious over land from the Missouri to the Columbian river.— Should this river not prove navigable where we first meet with it, our present intention is to continue our march down the river, until it becomes so, or to the Pacific ocean. The map which has been forwarded to the secretary at war, will give you the idea we entertain of the connection between these rivers, which has been formed from
the corresponding testimony of a number of Indians, who have visited that country, and who have been separately and careful- ly examined on that subject, we therefore think it intitled to some degree of confi- dence. Since our arrival at this place, we have subsisted principally on meat, with which our guns have supplied us amply, and have thus been enabled to preserve the parched meal, portable soup and a consi- derable proportion of pork and flour, which we had intended for the more difficult parts of our voyage. If Indian information can be credited, the vast quantities of game with which the country abounds, through which we are to pass, leaves us but little to apprehend from the want of food. We do not calculate on completing our voyage within the present year, but expect to reach the Pacific Ocean and return as far as the head of the Missouri, or perhaps to this place before winter. You may therefore expect me to meet you at Monticello, in September 1806. On our return we shall probably pass down Yellow Stone river, which from Indian information, waters one of the fairest portions of our continent. I can foresee no material or probable ob- struction to our progress, and entertain therefore the most sanguine hopes of com- plete success. As to myself, individually I never enjoyed better health, than I have since we commenced our voyage. My in- estimable friend and companion captain Clark, has also enjoyed good health gene- rally; at this moment every individual of the party is in good health and excellent spirits, zealously attached to the enterprise and anxious to proceed; not a whisper of discontent, or murmur is to be heard among them, but all in unison act with the most perfect harmony. With such men I have every thing to hope and but little to fear.
From the CONNECTICUT GAZETTE. Rouse, father Neptune, from the oozy bed, And shake thy azure locks, and raise thy head, Rejoice to see thy sons unite to prove, Their country's honor, and their country's love. The 4th of July inst. was duly honored by a collection of the sons of Neptune, at Tinker's Hotel, in this city; who, feeling the glow of true patriotism, and wishing to inspire the same noble sentiments in the breast of their fraternity, which actuated them, partook of an elegant entertainment provided by Mr. David S. Tinker, in which great economy and taste were conspicuous, and a generous board provided. The hall was decorated with American colors. Af- ter indulging themselves freely in a good cheer, they drank the following elegant & appropriate Toasts. The greatest harmony and sociability were maintained during the hour of festivity. We are happy to ob- serve that this useful and valuable class of our fellow citizens, are truly attached to the genuine Washington principles; and will be as free to defend the liberty of this coun- try as they are to rejoice at the day which gave it birth. The Toasts were accompa- nied with discharge of guns; and appro- priate songs and instrumental music echoed through the hall.
TOASTS. 1. The day we celebrate —Fair weather, favorable gales and flowing sheets, to all true hearted tars. 2. Our Admiral —May he keep his com- mand in time of danger and never abandon his fleets or deceive them by false lights. 3. New Hampshire —On the shoals of democracy, dismasted, and a bad pilot, as her timbers are sound, may she be got off and repaired. 4. Massachusetts —No near! May she soon have the wind abaft the beam. 5. Rhode Island —The captain below— the mate sick—and the crew by the ears. May she be overhauled, new rigg'd and of- ficer'd. 6. Vermont —Not yet on her beam ends. May she soon right and be as stiff as ever. 7. Connecticut —Neither luffing nor bear- ing away—steady to resist the whirlwinds of democracy and the water spouts of fac- tion. 8. New York —Too many ship's cousins, for the benefit of the crew. 9. New Jersey —Unfit for service; may she be laid up in ordinary. 10. Pennsylvania —A mad boatswain, and a factious crew—may she be converted into a transport and return them to their native shores. 11. Delaware —Neither St. Marino nor Virginia—a good little look-out-ship; may she always be on the alert. 12. Maryland —Broken back'd; when repair'd may her timbers be sound and bet- ter dock'd. 13. Virginia —The fire ship of democra- cy; may the fleet be safe from her explo- sion.
14. The Carolinas and Georgia —Ten- ders to Virginia; may they soon be sick of their employ, and enter into other ser- vice. 15. Kentucky, Tennessee, &c. —Mari- ners to Virginia; may their mutinous spi- rit be confined to their own ship. 16. Louisiana —Of various materials; neither fit for land or water; may she be the receptacle of the turbulent and disaf- fected. 17. Democracy! What a figure head! 18. Modern Patriotism! —A sheer hulk.
THE BIRTH-DAY OF FREEDOM. AN ODE. Song on the 4th of July, at the celebration of American Independence, by the young Federal Republicans of Boston. [Written by one of the company.] Tune—HAIL COLUMBIA. SONS of Freedom! Hail the day, Bleaming with the golden ray Of LIBERTY our Fathers won; The Liberty our Fathers won; Who sav'd their land with blood and toil, And gave to us to reap the soil. Let haggard care be banished hence, R'live joy exalt each sense; Every breast with pleasure glow— ADAMS bids us keep it so. CHORUS. Youthful patriots! join the lay, Hail our Freedom's Natal Day, Let our fires enraptur'd see, Like themselves WE WILL BE FREE! Louder strike the thrilling lyre, Let the patriotic fire In every throbbing bosom glow; In every throbbing bosom glow; Fredonia's Birth-Day claims our joy And shall our noblest strains employ; We'll ever hold the Heav'n born day Sacred to each jocund play, Festive revel, pomp and show; ADAMS bids us keep it so. Youthful patriots, &c.
INDEPENDENCE! loud proclaim, Through the brazen trump of fame: To Heaven let the notes aspire, To Heaven let the notes aspire, And martyr'd Heroes join the song, While echoing spheres the strains prolong. A Nation celebrates her Bir'b! Gladness, pleasure, joy and mirth, With our goblets here shall flow; ADAMS bids us keep it so. Youthful patriots, &c. WASHINGTON'S immortal name, Highest on the list of fame. Let all revere, and shout his praise, Let all revere, and shout his praise, He bade unjust oppression cease, Obtain'd us Liberty and Peace. And while we celebrate on earth The joyful day that gave them BIRTH, He approving looks below; Smiles to see us keep it so. Youthful patriots, &c. ADAMS! Patriot, Hero, Sage, Next on Glory's brightest page, Who didst our barque in safety guide; Who didst our barque in safety guide; Retir'd, thy grateful country prays That peace may gild thy future days. Beflow thy blessing while we join, On this day 'round fair freedom's shrine, For whose birth libations flow; THOU hast bid us keep it so. Youthful patriots, &c. Yet we pause, and drop a tear; To he who bought the prize so dear, And gave their lives in Freedom's cause, And gave their lives in Freedom's cause, Deserve the tribute due to all That in the cause of virtue fall. But they're in bliss and from above, Smiling with celestial love, View with joy their sons pursue Freedom, Fame and Virtue too. They will function what we vow! Make the Oath; they hear us now; Heaven! we appeal to thee; Like our sires, WE WILL BE FREE!

Polygraphick Painting.
THIS art, so long kept a secret and exclusively practiced by the Polygraphick Society in London, is now in the possession of a Citizen of the United States lately arrived from Europe; who proposes to execute by subscription, two hundred copies from an original Allegorical Painting in the Shakespeare Gallery, New-York, by permission of the Proprietor: being
A PORTRAIT OF WASHINGTON,
Supported by LIBERTY, VIRTUE, and JUSTICE. VIRTUE is holding the emblem of the reward he merited. In the right of the piece, AMERICA, characterised as an Ab-original, is seated in a pensive posture, lamenting her loss. In the left is PAINTING turned to HISTORY, for a subject worthy of her art, who is supposed to answer,
"There is none more worthy than Washington."
The whole forming a more emblematical tribute to the memory of that great man, than has yet been offered to the public.
To those who esteem his public services and his private worth, and to the patrons of improvements in the fine arts, this work is dedicated. Such as are already furnished with different engravings on this subject, will, it is hoped, still find room for the present undertaking, when they consider, that it will be a PAINTING, and the design new, executed by a process, which renders it more durable than oil paintings—that it requires no glass—that while their prints contain, perhaps a faint resemblance only, this work affords a correct likeness, with the addition of six beautiful allegorical figures. The price also is reduced to as to leave, comparative merits, no object.
Subscriptions, at Eight Dollars each, payable on delivery, (which is little more than the price of an engraving of the same size) are received by Conrad & Co. Booksellers, Philadelphia; Robert Gray, Alexandria; Rapine, Conrad and Co. Capitol-hill City of Washington; and generally by Booksellers throughout the Union; who will please to return their Subscription papers to Conrad and Co. Philadelphia, previous to the first of November next, when the work will be ready for delivery.
Frames will be procured, of any pattern, if required, on the most moderate terms.
IT IS ALSO PROPOSED TO EXECUTE PORTRAITS
Of Mr. and Mrs. Washington, On a smaller scale, 15 inches by 12; executed by the same process, and will be ready for delivery at the same time; on subscriptions of Four Dollars and Fifty Cents each, including a Gilt Frame. It is a principal aim of this work, to produce the most correct likenesses of this amiable couple.
One of the Paintings is now to be seen at Mr. Gadsby's Hotel, for a few days, who will receive subscriptions. As this copy is ordered to be sent to Richmond soon, another will be forwarded, if subscribers offer, to Robert Gray's, King street Alexandria, with whom subscribers may also enter their names.
The Artist presumes that the secret art of Polygraphick Painting is known only to himself in the U. States; having travelled from the Carolinas to Massachusetts without finding a master of it. By this art, original paintings may be multiplied, so as to render it difficult to point out the difference. The Polygraphick picture, of the two, when compared together, is the most brilliant, and the nature of the process cannot fail rendering it more durable. In fine the whole is so exact and beautiful a copy, that the mud is lost in conjecture as to the method in which it is executed. July 3.

They have been singularly efficacious in Billious and Yellow fevers, Jaundice, Head Aches, Dysenteries, Bile, Cholick, Costiveness, Female complaints, &c. The very great demand and high esteem which these pills are held throughout the United States and the West Indies, has induced many counterfeiters; the purchaser is requested to observe that the name of Samuel Lee, jun.
