To the People and the Army.

Haytiens,—Grave events have just been consummated.
General F. Geffrard has left the presidency and the
country ; he has placed his resignation in the hand; of the
Senate. The Council of the Secretaries of State holds the
reins of government, as provided by the I Ittth article of the
constitution until the chief who ought to preside over
the destiny of the country should be constitutionally
elected. The country has suffered for many long years
incessant evils, which have left as their result the ruin of
our cities, of our treasury, and of our families. Let es
work, then, Haytiens, to build up the edifice destroyed ►y
baneful passiona engendered by pritle,ambitioniunl cupidity.
It is only by a fusion of hearts, harmony of power, and
firm will, sincere and serious, that we can get rid of the
corruption towhich our society is a prey. Yes, it is with thee
elements that we will pregress,snd that ourcountry will mit,'
that welfare and happiness to which all free people aspire.
Be calm, and let us hope from Providence and our efforts
to end our misfortune. Let us avoid every conflict and
public trouble, and be animated only by the welfare of
the country. Let us have faith in the future and in the
institutions which govern us. Long live liberty! Leg
live equality ! Long live the republic ! Long live the
constitution !

AN INVITATION TO THE PRINcE of WALE.,..--
Below we give a translation of the letter of illVitat:oo
which has been sent to his Royal Highness the Prince of
Wales from the Indiana of the Red River aettletnent The
letter itself is somewhat unique, and we doubt whether
the mail bags of any nation ever carried its like. The
who feel a great degree of traditionary resrrt
for the Royal Family, and with a certain taste fur barbaric
show and glitter, felt that an ordinary ink and pl'lr
invitation would scarcely convey the eaniestness of thew
wish that the Prince should come ; so they have rat
their request in a style peculiar to themselves. Ibe
material on which the letter is written is the to
inner rind of the birch bark, surrounded with a .1
border of gilt. Th 3 letters of the heading are in
white, and blue, the capitals throughout being o
English gilt. The following is a translation of the letter:
—"To the first born of our great mother, meows the great
waters, great chief, whom we call royal chief. Ile and
our people hear that our relations, the liallbreeds and the
pale-faces at Red River have asked you to come and see
them the next summer. We and our people also Indira
to come and visit us, Every lodge will give you reYal
welcome. We have the bear and the buffalo, and our
hunting grounds are free to you, our hones will carry Yot
and our dogs hunt for yon, and we and our people
wt"
guard and attend you. Our old men will show you their
medals which they received for being faithful to the father
of our great mother. Great royal chief, if you will come,
send word to our guiding chief at Fort Game, so that r.
may have time to meet and receive you as becoming a"
great royal chief."—Canadiaa News. April 11th.
