THE EMPEROR OF HAYTI.

It appears from a Hayti journal of the 24th Janu-
ary, that the Emperor Faustin I. has addressed to the
people and the army a proclamation, in which he
states that a victory had at first crowned his arms
against the Dominicans, but that treason alone had
afterward. snatched away the laurels at the moment
they were about to become his right.
The proclamation is in the following words:

FAVITIN I , 7117180 H 07 HAYTI

independence, that n pidiating the heritage of oar
fathers, they were delivering up to strargas the soil of
their country, atilt warm with the blood of their ances-
