LONDON, SATURDAY. Auousr WO, 1123.

The Paris Papers which arrived last night arc wholly !
devoid of political intelligence. The constitutional question
regarding the right of the Crown to concede the hide-
pendonce of Ilayti is discussed at considerable length by
the journalists. The principal difficulty on the part of
the Ministry is, with respect to the indemnity to the old
colonists. It seems quite clear, that under a Representa-
tive Government the rights of any set of citizens cannot be
battered away without their sonsent or the copula of tic
Legislature. The anxiety of M. De VILLaLE to bring
thit negotiation to a successful close just at the time when
it would operate favourably on the Stock Exchange, has be-
trayed him into an utter contempt of all constitutional
principles. The Journal der .Debuts contends that one of
three modes of proceeding must now be adopted :

1. The Royal Onlmassee must be converted into a lair at the
next Session of the Chambers; or
2. A Bill of Indemnity mast be obtainel for the Niniects ; or
3. The Ministers must he impeached.

1t is not likely, however, that either of tbcCe-eourkx will
be exactly followca. A law will probably be introduced to
regulate the distribution of the indemnity, and in this indi-
rect manner the il.partute from constitutional principles
will be to a certain %%tent reconciles) to thetn.

These papers contain no later news from the Morca.
In a supplementary sinet, the Journal des Debuts has
published the Address of the Provisional Government and
Beelesiastical Chiefs of Greece to the Port. The object
of this address is to solicit his Moline= to point out to the
Greeks a-Prince of Royal blood, and belonging to the Ca-
thulic churc*.t. illen the kingdom shall be established,
Greece will be ready to adopt such laws as may be jtutred
useful and beneficial both as to her own internal welfare
and the general interests of European politics. The ad-
dress afterwards beseeches the Pons to espouse the Greek
Church, which, since the martyrdom of the Patriarch
Ch&GORT, has been in a state of wulowhootl. The pa-
triarch since appointed by the SULTAN is declared to be
intrusive and illegitimate. The address predicts that the
salon of the Roman and Greek Churches will be fullowt4l
by the adhesion of the filial churches of Bulgaria, tiervia,
Moldavia, and even of Russia. The document is alto-
tither of a very singular nature, and if authentic, its it
purport% to be, it may lead to important cons:gin:lw, s iii
the Christian world. It was presented to Prince Ilea-
'saint, the Papal Chamberlain, on the 4lth of Mai, anti
on the 6th of June an answer was returned to the Greek
(..noraisii,r), that the Pots bad received it on the day on

which it wt.s.aeliv:rctrto his In another column
we have given some extracts ; the whole address Is too long
for the columns of a newspaper.
The I tvile of Thursday cousins a retrakable instance!
of the haughty and illiberal conduct of the Roman Catholic
clergy. A French officer of the garrison of Barcelona pe-
rished in a duel, and no priest could be induced by com-
mand or solicitation to attend his funeral. Even the mili-
tary chaplain refused to follow the coffin to the grave.

A duel of a raw kind took place a few days ago between two
Lieutenants of one of the regiments of the Wretch garrison. The
parties fought with muskets at the distance of lOU paces. The re.
suit was fatal to M. de This unfortunate young man,
belonging so a distinguished family, was shot through both thighs ;
he died last night in cosecquence of his wounds. This event, which'
has caused some sensation, has been followed by the formal refusal
by the clergy of burial to the body, and the no Ices astoaishing re-
fusal of the Chaplain of the regiment to follow the coffin to the
pare. Orders had been given in the morning by the Colonel, who
is Commandant of the fortress, foe the burial of M. V. It was to
take place at silt o'clock in the afternoon. Two (iffiest', per grade,l,
of each regispent, and all the cams of M. V.'s own regiment,
had repaired to the church at the appointed hour, and two hours
after they were still there, without any ecclesiastic having made his
appearance to attend the burial of the corpse. The Fpsriards, who
invest death wit► all the pomp of religion, had remarked with as.
tonishment, that t►e almoners of the regiments hail not attended
the funerals of four French officers who had died within these five
months.

The corpse was not carried to the church yard, orders from the

Bishop had bete given it. consequence. H. do V.— her bees

they know how to respect opinions.

We have been sieved for soma days past that M. Bollard hall
presented a requisition, entewlowe, against several independent
journals, including the Constitatiumnel and the Cowrie?. We ars
persuaded that this news will not give our readers more uneulnew
than it does ourselves. They may be certain that it will not in any'
way lessen out seal foe the constitutional Monarchy, for the main.
tsnanoe of public credit against the tnanauvres of jobbers, and the
demise of the liberties of the tiallican Church against the attacks,
of the Jesuits and Ultramontains.

Nothing can be more absurd than the grave manner in
which the Parisian papers of opposite politics discuss the
subject of the recognition of II•TTI as an independent
Republic--the one party throwing the imputation of ill-
faith on the KING'S ordinance of the 17th of April, the
other contending for " the sincerity and the plenitude of
the concession." The President of H•rrr may be na-
turally enopgh desirous of confirming its independence by
a formal recognition on the part of France, and may be
willing to but the matter on a footing of negotiation ; but
neither CH•aLaa X, nor his Ministers, can so impose upon,
themselves as to imagine that either the internal strength,'
or the external safety of this extraordinary Republic, can'
be affected by their decision either way. It is in no wise
essential to its security, that the seal of the Bourbons should
be set to the charter of its freedom. Hia Car nor., c M•-'
lIITY has no consecrated wafer that is of virtue to make it
one jot more valid. The rise and establishment of the Re-'
public of Hayti exhibits one of the mo►t interesting revo-
lutions on record. There is nothing to compare with it in
the history of the world. A race of slaves aspire to be
free, and, behold, in a few short years, their fetters are
broken, and oppression is no snore. These sable islanders
have not only consolidated their liberty, but have shown
themselves to possess all the qualities of mind essential to an
able and capable Government. Looking to the colour of
this hitherto degraded race, and to the low rank which the
task-masters had assigned to them in the scale of creation,
it was to be expected that in planning a scheme of govern-
ment their imbecility would be betrayed in every step of
their progress. Quite the reverse. Their chosen guides
have shown themselves as well acquainted with the primary
duties of their new situation, and as well prepared by pru-
dence and foresight to guard their rights frosts violation, as
the best-instructed statesmen. Any attempt on the part
Mance to enforce any outstanding claim which she may
conceive herself to have upon the sovereignty of this new,
Republic, would cost a sacrifice of treasure and reputation
far beyond what she is at all in a condition to risk. By the
census taken in 1621, in pursuance of the proclama-
tion of the President, the gross population—slaves;
free blacks, and whites—is given at 935,335 inhabitants.'
Out of this number about one-sixth is devoted to its mili-
tary force; the regular troopsameunting to 43,320, and.the
national guards to 113,328, making a total of 138,848 men
trained to arms. The French rulers have found once already
how obdurate the Haytians arc in refusing to acknowledge
any thing like even the shadow of a feudal supremacy in
their august Monarch. A former treaty broke offon that very
ground. Just as the negotiation was drawing to a close,
the altruistic's), which had been Till then kept behind, was
suddenly advanced to the front, viz. that the Republic
should concede to, France the title of Lordship Paramount,:
or Suzerainere. The following was the memorable Pro-
clamation of the President to the. French Commandants
upon the rupture of the treaty.. It is a masterpiece of elo-
quence and good sense. The tone of manly confidence and
Icalm determination in which it is written mark the stir- I
prising advancement of knowledge which has transformed
the enslaved Colony of ST. DoMINGO into the en/igAhs v!

'• The Envoys v.hout, in consequence of an appeal which had
been made to mc, I hail despatched to France to treat respecting
the recognition of the independer.ce of Hayti, have returned
hither. Their 'Masi= did not produce the result which we had •
right to expect ; because the French Government, incredible as it
may seam, still pretends to the chimerical right of soiseraimete over
dot country. This pretntslon, which it appeared to have renamed,
is fa suer inadmissible ; it is a new proof, as I have already pro-
claimed, how much our true security consists of our immovable
r.a3lution„ and how sal founded were out miatruat and the mea-
sures which I have taken.

With the character of this extraordinary people full
before their eyes, and with this docwnent fresh in their re- I
collection, the Ministers of Cirawas X. can never hope
to reserve Caen a pepper-corn tent as an acknowledgment
of their paramoiffit sovertioly. France has in fact so,
much to gain by hit early recognition of Ilaytian intle-
pendency, that we may well give her credit for sincerity in
her approaches towards it. She is no stranger to the tact, 'I
that, with the exception of Cuba, the import and export
trade to and from Hayti greatly exceeds that of the dotni-
nions of any other powers in the West Indies, and that the
value of this commerce is enhancing every year. if we of
this country are not timely wise, France, by her ere/usise
recognition of Ilayti, will ova a way to wound some of
' the vital interests of Great Dritilin hs the Vl'est Indies, anti
that very deeply; but this topic is foreign from our imme-
diate subject, and we abstain from entering upon it. It is
of too high concern, and pregnant with results too serious
to be lightly discussed. It furnishes abundant matter fur
rtflection ; but we must content ourselves with having
glanced at it.

CITY, FRIDAY EYENINO.

Considerable languor prevailed in the English Stock
Market this morning, heavy sales took place in It, and
many more would have been completed had not the price
failed the sellers before they could accomplish their pur-
pose. It was reported that the principal cause for this
gloom banging over our funds was the great depression that
was reported in those of France. For Money, Consols were
done at uo, sat, for the next Account at 891, and for the
[October Account at ito to I. The market closed with a
heavy appearance. Exchequer Bills also declined to 17s.
[9os.

Greek Scrip still engrosses all the interest in the Foreign
Market ; its price to-day was 141 4. Various were the
rumours abroad upon the subject that has chiefly tended
to the recent progress this stock has made---the departure
of Lord Cochrane for the seat of war. Many zealous
speculators could give every detail of the arrangement with
the gravest assurances of their truth, and endeavoured to
persuade their hearers that there was not a movement 01
the Gallant Lord, as connected with this business, that
they did not know. But, quitting these specula-'
tions, and going to facts, we can, on the best autho-
rity, state, that the friends of the Greek cause are
busily employed in purchasing steam-vessels to ac-
company his Lordship on his expedition ; and we be-
, lieve that we can on equally good authority declare, that
there is no disposition in any quarter to thwart his Lord-
, ship's present views. The Old Spanish Bonds returned to
Wednesday's price, 1.2, 3. The New were stationary, as
were South American Securities, in which very little was
doing.
The chief alteration in the Share market was in Plate
Glass Shares, which advanced from 514 to 41, and in the
Potosi Shares, which reached Gee premium. There were
considerable Inquiries for the Shares of the Netherland salt
Company, but holders were not anxious to sell under 3
premium, and buyers stood out for sitj.
In Mincing-lane there was a sale of Mauritius Sugar at
a steady price, but the public sale injured the private de-
mand. St. Domingo Coike sold at 625. to 621. Oil. per
cwt. The speculation in Nutmegs has been renewed, and
they have in consequence been sold at Gs. 9d. per pound.
' In the Corn market there was an expectation early in
the day that the ports would bet open for Barley, but the
official averages came down Ow the last six weeks at
3sa. la eI. which circumstance of course sets that question at
rest for the present.

We have reseived Lisbon Gapettes from the Ist to the
6th of August, but they do not contain the slighest poli-
tical inwlligeuce. The King had unit orders to Oporto
to make strict ..arch after the authors of the late sun-
leg!, who haduot, however, been discovered.

The letters by the Lisbon packet that arrived yesterday
are to the 6th inst. Their contents entirely relate to mat-
ters of business.

Extract of a letter from Constantinople, dated July 11:
" It is well that the voyage of did not take place,
as it would at that time have been impossible to escape the
Greek cruisers. The reports we have from the Mores are
very unfavourable; in fact, if correct, the Turkish cause is
totally lost. The Archipelago is now full of pirates, who
plunder every flag without exec ption. This no doubt' will
have an effect on premiums, but cannot last above a month
or so. The pirates arc small mistics, that put out from
different small ports, without any papers on board. It is
supposed that there are upwards of 100 in the Archipelago,
exclusive of the large vessels commissioned by the Greek
Government. These also will, we fear, turn pirates."
Loan Coeiraa N z.—The following particulars respect-
iug Lord Cochrane come from a quarter on which we can
rely :—" His Lordship bad on Thursday morning a meet-
ing with the leading members of the Greek Committee.
Ilts proposals to them are of the most liberal description.
By resigning his situation of First Admiral of the Bruilian
navy, his Lordship gives up nearly 60001. a-year, and a
pension upon retiring of half that sum, settled upon him-
self and lady for life • besides utiliquidated claims to a
consid:rable amount. dais Lordship leaves it to the Com-
mittee to settle the amount of the recompense to be award-
ed to him for his services; but he expressly stipulates,
that the auxiliary expedition shall be placed under his
whole and sole control—the trammels in which his Lord.
ship repeatedly found himself while in South America,
having tended greatly to impede, and even endanger, the
'meccas of his navel operations.—Ewen/nee Paper.-
Letters from Hayti, dated the 9th of July, mention that
three French men-of-war, under a Bag of truce, hail ar-
rived at Port-au-l'rinee. No mention is made in these
letters of the treaty.
Letters were yesterday received from Buenos Ayres, of
June 4. The packet for England was to sail on the 88th.
These letters afford no political intelligence of any interest.
A grand entertainment, in honour of South American In-
dependence, had been given by the British settlers; it is
stud to have coat 14,01 k) dollars.
A letter from Valparaiso, of !latch 27, states that the
Government was in • very unsettled state, and that a num.;
ber of the members of the Congress: were in prison for a
conspiracy. They were to be tried by the Legislative Botly.i
The harvest in Chili was very aliodaut, and it was sup.
pos:d that there was sufficient wheat fur two years' 0011.
euniption, both in Chili and Peru.
'The population of the States of the Grand Pechy of
Lmtestiliourg on the Ist of January last, amounted to
292,153 iudividuals. The itunilar of deaths in Iti44 was
3,345, by which it appear. that the mortality has decreased
in the proportion of lin 170 iivrsoits. This is principally
attributed to vaccination, the beinelcial 'fleets of which
are felt more and more every day. In 8124 the matcher of
persons inoculated was 11,153, though only 10,3 2 children
were horn in that year, and consequently the operation
must have been performed on some who bad been ne-
glee:ell in preceding years. -
