Our papers from Valparaiso are to the 28th of
May, but they contain no intelligence of intern*
about the internal affairs of Chili. An address was
presented to Mr. Perry, who has for five years and
a half filled the office of British consul at Panama, on
his leaving that place on temporary leave of abseuce
for England, by the leading residents. It is highly
eulogistic of that gentleman's official conduct.
The Hayden gevernment continue to display tem-
perate energy. Le Manifesto of June 24 contains AR
appeal on their behalf to the good sense of the essa-
munity. It remarks that a year's trial will maim
the Heytians to judge of the real character of the
administration; that when the close of the legislative
session leaves them free to concentrate their attention
on administrative duties, the public will be enabled to
judge of their efficiency; and that when the chambers
re-assemble they may decide on their fate. The
same journal contains an account of two is
in the representative chamber.
On the 14 of use, M. Heurtelon asked the Secre-
tary of Finance whether an assertion in the Moniteur
Haitien, that there had been no new issues of paper
money, were correct, and if it were true that the rise
in the price of coffee and gold was to be accounted
for? The minister replied that he Was happy to have
the opportunity afforded him to correct misappre-
hensions. The statement in the Moniteur was strictly
true : not a dollar of new paper money had been
issued, except to replace worn-out notes. For the
first time in the history of their country, the quar-
ter's revenue had amply sufficed to meet the quarter's
expenditure. He scarcely ventured to hope that this
would be the case in the last quarter of the year ;
but he was satisfied that the revenue of the whole
year would cover the expenditure. The cause of the
rise in the price of gold and coffee was not a depre-
ciation of the currency by any over-issue of paper.
The rise was owing to the operations of the Banks of
England and France, with • view to limit their ac-
commodation. The merchants of Hayti had been
obliged to streagthen their credit by transmitting to
their agents in Europe unwontedly large supplies
of coffee, and a good deal of gold. This was one
consequence of the pervading scarcity of provisions
in Europe ; and to that cause was also owing the
paucity of shipping and the high freights complained of
in Hayti. On the 18th of June a bill was introduced by
the Secretary for the Home Department and Agricul- I
tare to grant a bounty of 3 dollars on every 1001b0. of
raw sugar. The reason assigned for this measure seas I
the desirableness of having more than one staple ,
article of export. Coffee was at present the only one
they had ; it experienced great competition from the
produce of Brasil, &c.; and was threatened with
injury from vermin. The attempt to export cane
sirup on a lore scale had failed from some cause or
another; and it was desirable to encourage the manu-
facture of sugar. In the present circumstances of
Hayti, we regret, but can scarcely wonder, at this de-
viation from the true principles of commercial policy.
on the part of its ministers. Great severity was
being exercised by the authorities of the depart-
ment Aux Cayes against contraveners of the law
1 respecting the inspection of coffee entered for export,
land great severity appeared to be needed. The
Moniteur liaitien announces the execution, on the
29th of May, of three officers eonvicted of a treason-
able attempt to separate the northern provinces from
the republic.
The Santiago de Cuba papers are almost exclu-
sively filled with Mexican news. Seven brigs and
one French vessel were about to sail with full
cargoes of stopper. The Redactor mentions that a
plant has been discovered in thsr island, which pro-
mises fair to vival the sago plant.. A description of
it is promisees in some subsequent number.
With the exemption of the ' fel:accounts of scar-
city in Barbuises the jmaeals of our own colonies
are deficient is interest. Such items of news as we
have been able to glean from our Iles will be found
below.
