TRANSLATED FOR THE MERCANTILE ADVERTISER.
Extract of a letter from an officer in the army of Pétion at Port-au-Prince, to a gentleman in New York, dated 9th July, 1808, 5th year of the Republic of Hayti, communicated for publication in the Mercantile Advertiser.
"The tender concern you have always deigned to take in whatever concerned my country and myself, has induced me to give you every information in my power on the present political, military, commercial and agricultural situation of Hayti. I should have done it earlier, had not the communication between us and the American continent experienced an interruption of more than seven months.
"To give some little order to this letter, I shall begin my narrative with those events which have a lively relation to our domestic affairs. You will receive it with your usual goodness; and you will make public of it whatever you may think proper, for the purpose of enlightening the opinion which the spirit of party and the wickedness of human nature are too apt to mislead men into.
"You will doubtless recollect that at your departure from Port-au-Prince, the ill health of the chief of the government had occasioned a general relaxation of manners; conspiracies without end sprung up, which had for their object the triumph of anarchy over the wise principles of an equitable government, founded upon morals and justice: in short, Magloire, the friend and secret accomplice of Yayou, hatched in darkness, a new plot, in which, above all things, he wished to revive the conspiracy of Yayou.
"Magloire, misled by the fallacious promises of Christophe, and forgetting the benefits of a government too indulgent, took up arms, in December last, against the Republic. Jacmel was to be the rallying point of the factious. Magloire, notwithstanding his weakness, escaped from Port-au-Prince in the night, and joined his satellites at the place of rendezvous. General Bonnet and colonel David Troy were to have been the first victims. The members of the conspiracy were to give the signal, and the breast of the republic was to be wounded in the persons of two of its ablest defenders. At this juncture the choice of the means to carry this plan into execution rested not with the factious; for when Magloire arrived at Jacmel, on the 18 of December, at 7 o'clock in the morning, David Troy and Bonnet were informed of every thing; they had followed discreetly all the ramifications of the train, and by a courage more than human, enveloped Magloire himself in his own net. Criminals are seldom courageous: the traitor expiated his crimes by his death; and his accomplices partaking the same fate, the law has triumphed and the country is delivered.
"The government, always generous in searching into this conspiracy, distinguished between the little and the great criminals; and after executing seven or eight of the principal leaders, order was restored at Jacmel. "The republic, tranquil within, and having nothing to apprehend from the conspirators, turned its attention to the army under the orders of the valorous Lamarre. Succours were sent to him in men, clothing and money. Christophe, frightened at the appearance of six thousand men who were encamped within thirty leagues of this satrap, and despairing of ever being able to forge anew the chain of conspiracy, raised en masse his debilitated troops, with the intention of crushing Lamarre: but this man, who for more than a year past had contracted a habit of beating Christophe, waited with that calmness which to him was the sure presage of victory. The first engagement took place towards the end of April; and after 17 days fighting, the troops of the north were completely beaten; three hundred horses were taken; the cavalry of Christophe defeated: 500 muskets were found by our troops on the field of battle; and a great number of the enemy's soldiers were made prisoners. These are the consequences of that terrible march, and that grand levy of cultivators which the Phalaris of the north was continually driving to the slaughter house, to gratify his devouring ambition. In these affairs, Christophe himself was indebted to his safety to the swiftness of his horse, from which you will understand that he is not so ill mounted as his army, and for what cause.
"In short, within the space of two months and a half we have seen 28 battles the intrepid Lamarre has had with Christophe, in all of which the victory was ours. And it is not likely we shall relax in our preparations, our resources being as powerful as the courage of our troops. We have not, they, humanely speaking, the smallest inquietude for the fate of the army of the Mole, strength-
ened by 6000 men, who have carried their advanced posts to within a league of Port de Paix. This army, which is in want of nothing, is well commanded; Lamarre has under him some excellent officers, Delva, Beauvoir, and many others, all military characters, distinguished for their courage and their inviolate attachment to the republic.
"The health of the president is perfectly restored. He has lately made a tour of seven weeks in the provinces of the south—the insurgents at Jeremie are returning to order; and yesterday we were assured that their chief Gomen, after several conferences, had surrendered himself to the president, the latter part of this information wants confirmation. It is not, however, improbable.
"The interior of the republic is in the most profound security. The public roads are perfectly safe; and the manufacturers are working peaceably under the empire of the laws which assure to them their rights and the price of their labor. This is not the case in the department of the north, where insurrections provoked by the most frightful despotism break out in all directions.
"We suffer many privations of the articles to which we have been accustomed in consequence of the American embargo.—How long do you think it will endure?—Your own commerce must be considerably injured by it from the scarcity of those things which we have hitherto furnished you. Here every thing is without price, and our productions are of little or no value. Flour will bring from 40 to 50 dollars per barrel, wine in hds. from 90 to 100 and other articles in proportion.
"Commerce at the Cape is entirely paralysed. The English merchants who are established there write to their correspondents in England that the place is not tenable.
"At the moment in which I write to you an advice-boat to the president has arrived from the Mole, and we are informed officially that Christophe has arrested general Romain, whom he accuses of conspiracy. The soldiers, who are firmly attached to their general, have risen against the tyrant. The whole of the great parish of Limbee, distant about seven leagues from the Cape, is in open insurrection. The army of the Mole, which had begun its movements towards the west, is already reassembled at Boucassin, ready to march at the first signal. The government I will be sworn to you will not neglect any of the means which are in its power for reducing the rebels.
"All our political affairs are in a state which promises a prosperous issue: Our cultivation, in spite of the war, presents a favorable aspect; and we have now on hand 30 millions weight of coffee, and six millions weight of logwood. When the troubles of Hayti have ceased we shall again be able to supply annually from 50 to 55 millions weight of coffee."

(VIA NEW-YORK.)
FROM DUTCH PAPERS.
VITTORIA, July 14.
On the 11th his catholic majesty proceeded from Tolosa to Bergara, where he was waited upon and complimented by the civil and ecclesiastical authorities, and by the students of the celebrated college of that town.
He also received a deputation from the town of St. Andero, consisting of six persons, who ratified the oath of fidelity already taken by their town, and solicited forgiveness for their error. His majesty received each of them with the greatest friendship, and was engaged in business with his ministers until nine in the evening.
On the following day the king continued his journey to Vittoria. On the boundaries of Guipasco, the deputation from that province took leave of his majesty, who found the deputation Alara on their own territory. He also received the magistracy of the place and made enquiries of them respecting the state of their respective districts.
When about three leagues from the city, he received some dispatches by a courier—he stopped, read the dispatches, and answered them without alighting from his carriage. During this interval, a detachment of the African regiment of infantry were introduced to him, which was so resolutely bent on accompanying his majesty, though repeatedly told, that being on foot, it was impossible to keep up with the carriage, that it nevertheless went on three long leagues, and never stopped until his majesty arrived at the apartments prepared for him. At his entrance into the city all the troops were under arms, and the houses were hung with carpets. The firing of the artillery, the ringing of the bells, and the concourse of
the inhabitants from all quarters, contributed to distinguish the event. The day before his majesty was proclaimed king of Spain and the Indies, in this city, being the capital of the province.
At the distance of a league from Vittoria his majesty received a special deputation from the province, the civil and spiritual authorities, and all the individuals of respectability, who assembled from the environs, in order to be introduced to him.
At nine in the evening a display of fireworks took place, and his majesty was pleased to partake in the festivity.
This day, after transacting business with his ministers, his majesty attended mass in the collegiate church. He was received at the entrance by the chapter, who conducted him to a seat under a canopy, which was placed near the grand altar. On his return to his residence, his majesty gave audience to all the deputies from the adjacent towns and villages, as well as those who were introduced the preceding day.
The festivities of the former day, with the display of fire-works, were this day repeated.
On the day of his majesty's arrival the following proclamation was issued:
"Don Joseph Napoleon, by the Grace of God and the Constitution of the
State, King of Spain, and the Indies. "Spaniards! On entering the territory of a people, the government of whom Providence has confided in me, I feel it my duty to explain the sentiments which I entertain.
"In ascending the throne, I rely upon finding among you some generous souls who will second my efforts to restore this people to the possession of their ancient splendour. The constitution, to the observance of which you are about to pledge yourselves by your oaths, secures the exercise of our holy religion, and of civil and political freedom. It establishes a national representation, and restores your ancient courts in an ameliorated form. It appears a senate, forming the guarantee of individual liberty, and the support of the throne in critical circumstances, constituting an honorable asylum and rewards those who shall have performed signal services to the state.
"The courts of justice, the interpreters of the laws, divested of passion and fear, shall, in pronouncing judgment, be impartial, free and independent.
"Merit and virtue shall be the only claims to holding public offices.
"Unless I am disappointed in my wishes your agriculture and commerce shall flourish, free from those restraints which have hitherto retarded their prosperity.
"Desirous of ruling according to the laws, I will be the first to give an example of the honor which should be paid to them.
"I enter among you with the greatest confidence, surrounded with those meritorious individuals, who have concealed from me nothing which they thought necessary for your interests.
"Blind passion, false rumors, the intrigues of the common enemy of the continent, anxious only to separate the Indies from Spain, have plunged some of you into the most dreadful state of anarchy. My heart bleeds at the view of it; but this evil however considerable it may be, may instantly cease.
"Spaniards, only unite around my throne. Conduct yourselves so as that internal disturbances shall not deprive me of that time which I wish to employ in laboring for your happiness, not deprive me of the means of accomplishing that object. I esteem you enough to persuade myself that you will make every exertion to obtain and merit that happiness which is the dearest object of my wishes.
"I, THE KING."
Vittoria, 12th July, 1808.

Valuable Family Medicines.
The following well known genuine Medicines, from Hannah Lee's patent Medicine store, New York, are constantly kept for sale by
James Kennedy, Sen.
BOOKSELLER, KING-STREET,
And no where else in Alexandria.
Prevention better than Cure.
FOR the prevention and cure of Dilious and Malignant Fevers , is recommended HAHN'S ANTI-BILIOUS PILLS, prepared (only) at Lee's patent Medicine store, No. 55 Maiden Lane.
This medicine has, for nine years past, been attended with a degree of success highly grateful to the inventor's feelings, in several parts of the West Indies, and the southern states, particularly in Baltimore, Petersburg, Richmond, Norfolk, Edenton, Wilmington, Charleston and Savannah. The testimony of a number of persons in each of the above places has been adduced, who have reason to believe that a timely use of this salutary remedy has, under Providence, preserved their lives when in the most alarming circumstances.
Facts of this conclusive nature, speak more in favor of a medicine than columns of pompous eulogy, founded on mere assertion could do.
It is not indeed presumptuously proposed as an infallible cure, but the inventor has every possible reason to result from extensive experience, for believing that a dose of these pills, taken once every two weeks, during the prevalence of our bilious fevers, will prove an infallible preventative—and further, that in the early stages of these diseases, their use will very generally succeed in restoring health, and frequently in cases estimated desperate, and beyond the power of common remedies.
The operation of these pills is perfectly mild, so as to be used with safety by persons in every situation, and of every age.
They are excellently adapted to carry off superfluous bile, and prevent its morbid secretions—to restore and amend the appetite, produce a free perspiration, and thereby prevent colics, which are often of fatal consequences. A dose never fails to remove a cold, if taken on its first appearance. They are celebrated for removing habitual costiveness, sickness at the stomach and a severe head ache, and ought to be taken by all persons on a change of climate.
They have been found remarkably efficacious in preventing and curing disorders attendant on long voyages, and should be procured, and carefully preserved by every seaman.
From one to three or four of the pills are a dose which may be repeated as circumstances require.
In sickly times or places, a dose should be taken every fortnight, and if there is reason to apprehend personal danger, it may be taken once a week.
Certificate of Mr. Wm. Devenney.
During the last nine years, I have been in the habit of using Hahn's Antibilious Pills, prepared by the late Mr. Lee, whenever colics, headache, or costiveness have rendered medicine necessary; in these cases a single dose has uniformly removed my headache, and has generally been found sufficient to remove every symptom of a cold if taken on its first appearance. Induced by the benefit received, I have for years past recommended them to many of my friends, and I have the pleasure to inform you, they have invariably succeeded in removing the above complaints.
Yours, &c. WM. DEVENNEY, No. 145, Cherry street, New York.

Dr. Tissot's celebrated Gout and Rheumatic Drops.
NOTHING is of more importance than the preservation of health—this common sense remark however is too often forgotten, whilst we are active and strong—and prevention of pain, which is superior to its cure, is not sufficiently attended to by any description of persons. Among those disorders which require the most early and unremitting efforts to eradicate and overcome, none have a stronger claim upon our notice than the Gout, Rheumatism, Lumbago, Weakness of the Joints, Sprains, Gleet, the Stone and Gravel, the Cramp and every species of Rheumatic Pains from whatever cause they may have originated—and hence every relief which can be administered is too valuable to be forgotten.—Those persons whose avocations peculiarly expose them to colds, &c. cannot be too anxious always to possess immediate aid. Sea-faring persons, travellers, &c. ought constantly to carry with them that medicine which will counteract the unpleasant effects of their perilous duties, and especially those pains to which they who reside in or visit the West-Indies, and their warm climates, they will be found upon return to convey the most lasting service and will gradually destroy all tendency to disease in the human frame, and preserve health and vigor. Although a great variety of prescriptions have been published to cure the disorders enumerated above, none has yet equalled the GOUT AND RHEUMATIC DROPS of Dr. TISSOT, which are celebrated throughout the European continent, and whose unbounded benefits are fully authenticated by certificates already published of gentlemen so well known in America, being of the first consequence in the state of Maryland: General Charles Ridgely, of Hampton; John Gibson Esq. one of the directors of the Farmers' Bank of Maryland; John Macubbin, Esq. Mrs. Macubbin, his wife; and Mrs. Ryan, of Calton. Certificate of Mr. Thomas Kelso, butcher.
About three weeks since I was most violently attacked with Rheumatic pains throughout my whole frame, in so severe a manner as not to be able to turn in my bed without assistance proceeding as I suppose from a severe cold to being advised by a friend to apply Dr. Tissot's Gout and Rheumatic Drops, I accordingly obtained from the agents Messrs. George Dobbins and Murphy, two bottles, the application of which, under God, have perfectly restored me to health. I am therefore induced with confidence to recommend this medicine as a certain cure for the above disorder.
THOMAS KELSO. Baltimore, July 22d, 1806.
Certificate of Mr. Thomas Campbell, Harness maker
It would be an act of injustice to withhold my testimony of the salutary effects of Doctor Tissot's Gout and Rheumatic Drops, as I have experienced a very unequivocal instance of their virtues and efficacy. I was afflicted with two severe attacks of what is usually called Dead Palsy, from which I partially recovered, but was obliged to use crutches to aid me in walking when I left home; to this were joined violent Rheumatic pains, the result of the affliction, and I had feared the disorder would accompany me through life; but providentially was recommended to apply at George Dobbins and Murphy's for Dr. Tissot's Drops, and after using only one bottle, found myself perfectly liberated from my disorder, and am now, thank God, as free from pain as if I never had been afflicted. Finding this medicine operate so powerfully on myself, I determined to apply it internally to my child, a boy only eleven months old, who was then reduced almost to a skeleton with the Bowel Complaint; after administering it four times to him, his complaint was entirely removed, and he is now recovering his strength with great rapidity.
