The bouthworth transport, arrived from Ilarbadoes and Anti-
gua, sailed from the latter place J.ily 27. A hurricane waa ex-
perienced at Antigua the day before, which lasted between four
and five hours, but nu damage waa sustained by the shipping, or
on land.

His Majesty's sloop Thracian, 18 guns, Capt. A. Forbes, I
arrived at Portsmouth on Thursday, from the West Indies:
she left the island of Jamaica on the 14th July last, and
on the same day fell in with the Rains transport, also'
homeward bound, Lieut. Burdwood, agent; from thence
they proceeded to the port of the Havannah ; off the island
of Cuba they fell in with the Hornet, an American cor-
vette, cruising for the suppression of piracy ; another cor-
vette, two Spanish frigates, and two English men of' war
schooners (the Union and .s'peedwell), were lying in the
harbour. A rumour had obtained at Jamaica, that it was
the intention of the French Government to occupy the
island of Cuba, with a naval and military force, on behalf
of the Crown of Spain, but it did not appear, from the
state of political affairs at the Havannah, that there was
any truth in the report. On the night of the 31st July
(one week after the Thracian sailed from the Havannah),
she was taken in a most tremendous hurricane, the severest
ever witnessed by any of the officers or ship's company,
and in which she all but foundered ; the gale came on to-
wards the evening, and by midnight blew a perfect hurri-
cane, so dust not a stitch of canvass could be shown ; the
fore-stay-sail and mizen-try-sail were blown to ribsrds,
anti the sea was in a most frightful convulsion ; at last,
finding that the water was gaining very fast, and the ship
settling, they threw overboard fourteen out of eighteen of
their guns and carriages, and cut away the mist n-mast,
by which measures the vessel was saved from, what ap-
peared to all on board, immediate destruction ; there were
tour feet water at one time in the Captain's cabins, and so
dreadfully did the ship labour, that the water appeared to
come through her sides by buckets full.
On Wednesday, the 24th ult. a Court Martial was held
on board the Royal Sovereign yacht, at Deptford, for the
trial of Mr. Thomas Goble, Purser of his Majesty's ship
Andromache, on four separate charges of extorting a higher
rate of interest from the ship's company titan is allowed by
law; and also with falsely and vexatiously imputing to
Lieutenant Alexander Tait conduct unbecoming an officer
and a gentleman, by charging the said Lieutenant with
having received the sum of 11. Is. 811., which he denied
having received, and which in fact never was paid to Lieu-
tenant Tait. The examination of witnesses for the prose-
cution occupied the whole of the 24th and 25th, when, the
prosecution being closed, the Court adjourned till next day,
at two o'clock, to allow the prisoner time to prepare Lis de-
fence, in which he was assisted by Mr. Minchiu, of Gos-
port, who delivered a most able and animated defence,
which, with reading the documents, accounts, and letters,
occupied nearly two hours and a half. After the examina-
tion of Mr. Goble'a witnesses the Court adjourried till'
Saturday, and after six hours' deliberation, at length pro-
noanctsl that the four first charges were proved, but with
regard to the fifth, it was only proved that Mr. Goble haul
falsely, but not vexatiously, imputed to Lieut. 'ant a con-
duct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman. The pen-
pence of the Court was that Mr. Goble be dismissed the
service.

[From rif;sto;re des Chieriß reOrer.]
Who would imagine that a dog had been made service.
able as a clerk, and had thus made for his master upwards
of a hundred thousand crowns—and yct an incident like
this happentA upwards of 30 years since. One of those
iittlustt ittus beings, who know how to make a chaldron of
coa!s out of a billet of wood, determined in extreme po—
verty to engage in trade. He preferred that species of
merchandise which occupied the least space, and was,cal-
ctilaterl to yield the greatest profit. He borrowed a small
sum of money from a friend, and, repairing to Flanders,
he there tou'glit pieces of lace, which, withoet any danger,
he smuggled into France in the following manner :
Ile trained an active spaniel to his purpose. He caused
him to be shaved, and procured for him the skin of another
dog of the same hair and the same shape. He then rollttt
the lace round the belly of his dog, and put over it. the
garment of the stranger so adroitly that it was impossibhs
to discover the trick. The lace being thus arranged in this
pedestrian band-box, he would say to his docile messenger
" forward, my friend." At the words the dog would start..
and pass boldly through the gates of &Wines or Valen-
ciennt s, in the face of the vigilant officers placed there r
prevent smuggling. Having thus passed the bounds, lea
would await his master at a little distance in the °pets
country. There they mutually caressed and feasted, wail
the merchant placing his rich packages in a place of seen.
rity, renewing his occupation as occasion required. such
was the success of this smuggler, that in less than five or
six years he amassed a handsome fortune, and kept hf
coach. Envy pursues the prosperous ; a mischievous
neighbour at length betrayed the lace merchant, notwith-
standing all his efforts to disguise the dog—he was sus.
pected, watched, and discovered.
How far does the cunning of some animals extend !-Di4
the spies of the Custom House expect him at one gate, be
raw them at a distance, and instantly ran towards another.
Were all the gates shut against him, be overcame every
obstacle--sometimes he leaped over a wall, at others pass.
ing secretly behind a carriage, or running between the
of travellers, be would would thus accomplish his aim,.
One day, however, while swimming a stream near Malines,
he was shot, and died in the water. There were then about
him five thousand crowns worth of lace—the lcss of whicle
did not afflict his master, but he was inconsolable for dui
loss of his faithful dog.

''their contents are without interest, excepting as to Greece,
from which quarter there is intelligence favourable to the
Patriots. We are disposed to rely upon the correctness of
this sews, as it agrees with the information in a private

Archimandrite of the town, who has since been arrested, as soon

Intelligence was yesterday received from Buenos Apes
to the fail June, by which it appears that hostilities have
actually been commenced on the part of the Brazilian
Government, by the invasion of the territory of the Clsi-
quitos, belonging to the united provinces of La Plata. No
',obey can be more ruinous than that which Don Pasoan
).as adopted in this instance. His monarchy has always
been viewed with suspicion and dislike by other new
States of America; but unless be hail rashly provoked
a war, it is not likely they would have interfered to over-
throw his imperial authority. There were many consider-;
ations that would in all probability have restrained them.
The connexion su►sisting between the British and Bra..
ashen Governments, would alone have induced the
Republican states to forego any such design, while the
Prudence of Don PIDAO withheld from them any pretext
for carrying it Into execution. Instead of pursuing a
temperate course, his Brazilian MAJESTY bas assumed the ir
haughtiest tone in his communications with the other
states, and by his arbitrary and oppressive rule he has dis-
gustedthe majority of his subjects. There is besides in
18razil a numerous and powerful party of Republican.,
who will be ready on the first disaster that befals the Ins-
perial arms, again toraise the standard of revolt. It has been
suggested in the American papers that Doti van has been
counselling the Government of Buenos Ayres and instigating
the enterprise of the Banda Oriental. This may be, and
we trust is, wholly untrue ; but we know that the Itepub-
Lean States of South America are all united by treaties of
alliance, offensive and defensive, and we may be quite
sure, therefore, that a war between Brazil and Buenos
Apes will not continue long before the veteran warriors of
Colombia will make their appearance on the theatre of
strife.

The. depression of the Money-Market seems fast wearing
away ; the atmosphere of the Stock Exchange, which has
fur many days past been so gloomy, has again brightened,
and the "busy hum" of speculation is nearly as audible as
ever. This proves that the causes which created that de-
pression were, in their nature, temporary. Among other
causes has been assigned that of the Bank restricting sud-
dealy the amount of its discounts. We, however, doubt

if the late depressice arose out of any etch operation. We
are Inclined to refer it—although not exclusively—to a very
different-origin. The expected remittances from the con-
tinent have not arrived, irr many instances, with the regu-
larity that was expected. Great mercantile houses have
consequently been, many of them, embarrassed for the
moment, to meet the engagements to which those remit-
tances have been appropriated. This must, of necessity,
have created a temporary embarrassment, and thrown
the parties upon resources which would tend to create,
if not a scarcity of money, at least, that pressure for
immediate accommodation, which, in its effect, is equi-
valent. As the foreign remittances arrive the face
of siii,ogs improves, the elasticity being restored by,
errernot—:ll, of Ii pressure. This we think sufficient
of itself to account far the recent fluctuations, without'
having recourse to any other solution. That the exi-
gency we have adverted to might bring more bills to
the Bank to be discounted than might appear the Di-
rectors to be legitimate mercantile paper, we can readily
conceive; but that the Bank, either now or at any time,
would limit its issues to an amount less than the public
occasions required, is what no man who reflects at all can
believe; on the other band, it is clear that the Directors'
would soon increase their issues to a ruinous excess if
they measured their accommodation by the demand, with-
out due regard to the solidity of the parties applying far it.'

CITY, Mortur Ern( IMO.
That f,eling of saliva qui peat which hu been operating
so strongly, in reality or artificially, upon the minds of
Jobber. during the last week is gradually disappearing,
and the Stock Exchanges are beginning to exhibit en ap-
pearance of tranquillity again. The Consols Market was
decidedly a buying one. Jobbers purchased readily, and
the consequence was, that the price went from 87i 4 to
ri, which was the oksing price. Some bargains in the
early part of the day were done at I 6, making the im-
provement on the day's bus!ness material. Exchequer Bills
also got up in value; being to-day done at Ss. 7s. premium.
Morey was by no means so scarce, and the impression was
that the pressure of the panic at least, let it have arisen
from what cause it might, was over.

The chief business in the Foreign Market was in South
American Securities, which were held very lightly at ad-
vancing prices. Colombian Bonds were at 7617; Mexi-
can Scrip was at Si 1 discount; and the New Guatemala
Scrip at 21 1 discount. Brazilian Scrip was also much
dearer. To-day it was 81 8 discount. Spanish Bonds
were at 21 to and Greek Scrip 16i 16 discount ; but in
these latter Securities little was doing.
There was a great demand this morning for the low
priced Shares. Considerable jobbing took place in the
New Potosi, which were reported at 33. Anglo Chilian
Shares were sought after at 21 II ° • as were the Chilian
Shares at 8 10; and those of the Castello Company at 7.
Anglo-Mexican Shares, and the United Mexican Shares
continued at Saturday's:quotations.
In the absence.of public business in the Colonial Market,
we can state that the mails arrived this morning bring
accounts from the foreign ports favourable for Sugar and
Coffee.

Iu Mark-lane the Market was rather a (lull one; iVheat
was cheaper, but Oats were steady in price.

A letter from Torecillas, dated the 21st August, con-
tains the following passage, which shows the state of igno-
rance in which the Spaniards are kept respecting passing
events:—" Reports state that the ground is marked out at
Bayonne for an English and French army of 75,000 men
to be encamped upon ; and that the Duc D'Angouleme was
in London some short time since. The Royalists quake
very much, and must persons believe the report. The
General of the camp was in Bayonne to inspect and give
further orders. All is to be ready for their reception by
the 16th September. The French a week or two since, at
St. Sebastian, took the arms of the volunteer Royalists.
In other places all at present seems pretty tranquil."
The Allgemeine Zeitung of the 30th ult. contains an
article dated Trieste, August 20, which states Missolonghi
still to hold out, and the Turks to have been repulsed, and
a powerful Greek fleet at hand. This intelligence, how-
ever, is given with great caution. Ibrahim Feeble cos
still at Tripolizza.
A letter was received yesterday from Jamaica, dated
Kingston, July 13, to the following effect:—
•• The Scout sloop of war, Captain U'igston, which arrived at
Port Royal yesterday, from Barbadoes and St. Thomas's. the last
in seven days, has brought information that • French fleet of 18
vessels, with pennants flying, and several transports having troops
on board, had nailed from 31artinique to Cuba to take possession of
that island, for and in the name of the King of Spain, so as to
prevent its falling into the hands of the Columbiana or Mexicans.
Official information to that effect is said to have been communicated
by the French Consul at St. Thomas's, to the (inventor of that
island.

" The Hussar frigate, Captain Harris, was despatched this
morning by Admiral Halsted, it is said, to put despatches on board
the Rinaldo packet, which sailed yesterday for England, and the
frigate will afterwards proceed to the coast of Cuba, to ascertain at
what ports the French will land. St. Jago, Trinidad, and the Ha.
vannah, are those conjectured here.
" The Thracian sloop of war sails in the morning for England
with despatches, and will touch at Havannah, no doubt, to ascer.
tain if any of the fleet have arrived there." _

A passenger by the Thracian states that, at Havannah,
on the Yid ofJuly, the same rumour was entertained; but
we believe it is beyond question that the French squadron,
the object of which seems to have been purposely en-
veloped in doubt, was intended solely to give weight to
the negotiation in St. Domingo. The dates agree with
this supposition.

du article, dated from Stockholm, in a Dutch Paper
received yesterday, states that nothing positive is at present
known respecting the three ships purchased by the house
of Michaelson and Denedicks, but it is believed that the
sale will not be cancelled, and that they will soon sail from
Carlscrona.

At a fete given near Villa Rica, to the Governor of the
Province, there was an arbour fonned entirely of sweat-
meats, under which himself and twoof his suite could con-
veniently stand.
It is stated, in letters from Ostend, that a vessel had ar-
rived there on Friday from Port-au-Prince, the Captain of
which stated, that immediately after the public announce-
ment of the recognition of the independence of Hayti, some
Dutch and English merchants, resident at Port-au.Prince,
waited upon the President, for the purpose of receiving
some information as to the line of conduct which he in-
tended to adopt towards them. They were mostgraciously
received, and assured by the President that, notwithstand-
ing what had occurred, he had too high a respect for the
I energy and enterprize of the English and Dutch merchants
to do any thing restrictive of their pursuits, without the
most absolute necessity ; and that they would find him
ever disposed to strengthen the ties which already existed
between them and the Ilaytian Republic. ,
The celebrated Mademoiselle Fanny Bias died on Satur-
day morning, at Paris' after a long and painful illness.
By an order of the Government of the province of Bran-
denburgh, publishers of books are bound, if they make an
unaltered edition of a book published before the 18th
October, 1919, to lay it before the Chief President. This
condition can be dispensed with only for book.; that have
appeared since the 18th October, 1819, and have been
' furnished since that time with the imprimatur.

(From the Hayden Official Gazette, the Teleg►aph of July 17.1
On Sunday, the Sd of July, at ten o'clock in the morning, signal
was made that a frigate and two smaller vessels were off Port-au.
Prince. We were far from thinking that they were the ships of
his Most Christian Majesty. At two o'clock, they anchored in the
roads, and we then saw that they consisted of a frigate, a brig, and
a schooner, under the French flag, the frigate having also the
Haytiau flag at her misen masa. Colorel Boisblanc, the com-
mandant of the port, was going ett board, when bel met a boat
coming from the frigate with a flag of truce, in which was an officer,
bringing despatches to the Government. Colonel Boisblanc took
the packet, and the boat returned to the frigate. His Excellency,
the President of Hayti, having received these despatches, sent LT
General Inginac, the Secretary-General, and ordered him to
reply to the letter, which had been addressed to him by the Baron
de Mackau, Captain in the Royal Navy, commanding the frigate
La Circ6, for the purpose of announcing that he was charged by
his Most Christian Majesty with a mission, wholly pacific, to the
Government of Hayti, from which he hoped that great benefits
woul.l result to the country. Tb 4 Secretary-General sent one of
his Aides-de-Camp that evening on board the frigate, to carry the
reply to M. de Slackeu. lie informed the Baton, in this letter,
that he would be received with all the regard due to the Monarch
by whom he was sent. Orders were immediately given for the recep-
tion of Al. de Slacken and his suite. On the following day, the
4th inst.ott seven o'clock in the morning, the Noble Envoy of hi,

Most Christian Majesty landed, and proceeded in a carriage to the
hotel of the Secretary-General, where after a private conference.
which lasted upwards of two hours, M. de Mackau retired
to the apartments appropriated to his use. As soon as the
Secretary General had given to his Excellency an account of
his interview with the Baron, the President appointed three
Commissioners (Co'oiel Fremont, one of his Excellency's Aides
de Camp, the Senator Illsialtner., end the .Secretary General)
to take charge of the mission- of M. de Slacken, and treat with
hirn for the great object of the recognition of the independence of
Hayti. The Commissioners and the Envoy had a conference on
the evening of the 4th, which lasted several hours, and on the
sth, at noon, they had another, which wan continued till four
o'clock in the afternoon. In these two conferences, dm interests
of the Governments were defended on each side with ardour
and patriotism. On the evening of the same day, his Excel-
lency the President of Hayti had • Sint interview with the
Baron de Maclean. On the 7th, at noon, his Excellency con.
voiced • meeting at the National Palace, consisting of the Secre-
tary of State, the Grand Judge, the Secretary General, the Ge-
' nerals and Senators who were in the capital, the Treasurer
General, the Senior Judge of the Court of Cessation, and other

civil and military officers, in order to consult them on the propo-
sitions offered by M. de Madan. The same evening there was
another conference with him. On the morning of the Bth, his
Excellency the President of Ilayti announced by letter to the Baron
that the Government of the Republic, considering the explana•
Cons he had given, accepted the ordinance, which on certain con-
ditions recognised the full and entire independence of Hayti;
Immediately the brig Le Raab, commanded by Captain Luneau,
was despatched to the fleet whichsras in our waters under the crden
of Rear Admirals Jurien de la praviere and Drivel, for the pur.
pose of announcing to them thavonclusion of the negotiation, and
on the evening of the same day the schooner La Besrnaise, tom•
mended by Lieutenant Davin', was deapatchei to France with
the same news.

The ceremony of the confirmation and acceptation of the ordi-
nance by the Senate was then deed for the 11th. (The yficial
Gazette then gives the programme of this ceremony, which was
settled by the B iron de Mackau and General Inginac.)
On the I Ith at the hour appointed, M. de 31ackau, and the Ad-
mirals and Officers of the squadron off the port, having landed az-
c trding to the order fixed by the supplement to the programme, and
having received the compliments of General Thomas, and the Ge-
nerals who accompanied him, the procession moved from the quay
to the Senate, where having entered, the Baron de 31ackau made,
the following speech :
" Gentlemen or the Senate,

" The King has ordered me to come to you and offer you in his
name the molt generous compact of which the present epoch affords
an Instance. You will find the proof of it, Gentlemen, in the fact
that under the present important circumstances, the royal mind of
his Majesty is not less concerned as to the precarious state of the

H kyt'ane, thanes to the interest,' of hisown subjects:
" Without doubt, Gent!eines, the distinguished virtues of your
worthy President, and the interest of -a Prince who is at the same
time the pride both of his father and of France, have exercised a
great influence over the determination of his Majesty ; but it was
sufficient that there was good to be done, and the peace between
men col be effected, in order that the heart of Charles X should be
deeply interested.
" Gentlemen, God will bless this sincere and important reconcilia-
tion, and permit it to serve as an example to other States, yet af-
flicted with evils which humanity deplores.
" We may now hope that in the New World, as in the Old, we
shall find all hearts filled with that love which was bequeathed to
us by our fathers, and which our most remote posterity will inherit
for that august House of France, which, having insured the happi-
ness of our country, wishes to found that of this new State."
He then laid the Ordinance on the table of the President of the
Senate.

The President of the Senate rose and replied to the speech of the
Baron in the following manner :
`• Sir,—We receive with veneration the Ordinance of his Most
Catholic Majesty, by which the recogt.ition of the independence of
Hayti is formally declared, and the solemn act of which you have
been charged to present to us.
`• It belonged to a descendant of the noble and ancient race of
the Bourbons to affix the seal to the great work of our regeneration.
After such fatal and cruel calamities endured by us, Charles X,
justly styled the Most Christian King, comes at last to acknow.
ledge the right acquired by the people of Hayti, and to call this
young nation to take its rank among the ancient nations of the
world.

" Give thanks to the Almighty ! Glory to the august Monarch
who, disdaining the laurels that would have been soiled with
b'ooi, preferred to wear on his majestic brow the olive of peace.
We will unite our prayers for bleasings on his dearly beloved son,
of whom France, in proclaiming his virtues, has made his voice re-
•cho even to our shores. We congratulate M. le Baron de Mackau
for having so worthily fulfilled his honourable mission. The name
of his Sovereign, of the Dauphin of France, and of himself will be
written in indelible characters in the annals of Hayti."
_ _

ANT this speech one of the Secretaries of the Senate read, in a
loud and distinct voice, the ordinance of his most Catholic Ma-
j sty, dated the 17th of April last, which recognised the full and
entire independence of the Government of Hayti. Afterwards this
solemn Act was entered in the registers of the Senate, and then
given to a Deputation composed of the Senators Daumec, Pitre,
and Rouanez, to be carried by them to the President of Hayti.
The cries of Live Charles X. ! Live the Dauphin or France !
Live France; Live Hayti ! Live the President of Hayti ! re-
echoed from all sides of the hall, and after the confirming of the or-1
dinance the sitting wu terminated, and they repaired to the national
Palace. Being arrived at the foot of the staircase, the Envoy of his
mist Catholic Majesty, the Admiral, and Deputation of the Senate
were received by Rear-Admiral Panayoti, the Chamberlain of the
Palace, and were introduced by the Aidea-de-Camp on duty in the
Hall of the Generals, where hit Excellency the President of Hayti
was surrounded by his great officers of state. After mutual salu-
tations had passed, and the principal perannages had taken their
seats, the Senator Daumec, holding in his hands the Ordinance
of the Most Christian King, enclosed in a superb velvet cue, took
it out, and made a speech suitable to be occasion, which we regret
we have not the power to give, and then p'a:•tl the said Ordi-
nance upon the table. His Excellency then tel teased the Envoy
and Deputation as follows :

‘• In solemnly accepting the ordinance of his Majesty Charles
X, which rtcot,mises in a formal manner, the full and entire inde-
pendence of the Go.ernment of Ilayti, it is most ratifying to my
heart to behold the seal affixed to the emancipation of a deserving
people by his courage and determination, an honour which Pro-
vidence had invited for hint, of a people at the head of whom it
was my glorious privilege to have been called.

" If the Haytians by their constancy and their lo,••alty have me-
rited the esteem of impartial men of all nations, it is right here to
pay homage to the immortal glory which by this memorable act the
Monarch of France has just added to the splendour of his reign
May the life of this Sovereign belong and happy for the sake of
humanity

" For twenty-two years we have annually renewed the oath to
live Independent or to die ; henceforth we will and a wish dear to
our bean, and which I hope will be heard in !leaven, that a red_
procal confidence and candour may ever cement the agreemen
which has just been formed between tbe freuch and the Ilgtians.'

U. de blacken rote and &Mulled his Eiitnency the President
of Hayti as follows "
" Sir—The King knew that there existed on this distant land,
formerly a dependent of his State, an illustrious Chief, who never
used his Influence or authority but to relieve the unhappy, to dis-
arm war of its useless rigours, and to shelter the French especially
under its protection.
" The King said to me to that celebrated man, offer him
peace, and fur his country prosperity and happiness, I have obeyed.
I have met the Chief whom my King described to me, and Hayti
has taken its rank among independent nations."
The President of llayti, iu repll , expressed himself in these
terms:—

" Slr,—My soups affected at the expression of thcse sentiments
which you have just de:larcd. It is at the sante time a pride and
• satisfaction to me to bear that which you have pronounced in this
grave solemnity on the part of his 111sjesty the King of France.
All that I have done has been but the result of fixed ptinciplts
that shall never change. . .

" I feel real satisfaction in being able, under these circum-
stance', to assure you how happy 1 am in appreciating the honour-
able qualities that distinguish you."
After the President had done speaking be gave orders to the
Secretary-Oeneral to read the Ordinance of his Most Christian Ma-
jesty. Ind afterwards the receipt given to M. de Illackau for the
ddivery of the Ordinance of which he was the bearer. The sigma
was then given, and immediately the vessels composing the French
squadron, lying off the port, saluted the flag of Hayti as ,hat of an
independent nation ; and, in reply the guns of Fort Alexandre,
the forts of the line, and the Ilaytian vessels in the roads saluted the
royal flag of France.
The joyful cries of " VIVO as Majesto Tres Chretienne !"
" Viva la Famills Royale de France !" " Vive le President
d'Haitt !" " Vire l'lndependence !" Viva la France !" " Yin
Haiti !" burst forth simultaneously on every side.
The Procession then went to the Parish Church to hear Ts
Dram.

The remainder of the Official Gazette Is filled with the account
of the banquet and ball given by the President of Hayti, in honour
of the recognition of the independence of his country.
On the same day the President issued the following Proclama-
tion to the People and to the Army :
John Peter Boyer, Presilent of Hayti
Haytians !—A long oppression had pressed upon Hayti. Our
coarage and our heroic etfbrts snatched 11,22 years ago from the
degradation which oppressed it, to place it in the scale of lode.
pendent nations. But there was wanting to our glory another
triumph. The French flag,. in coming to salute this land of li-
berty, consecrates the legitimacy of your emancipation. It was
reserved for that monarch, as great as he is religious, alto governs
France, to signalize his accession to the throne by an act to justice,
which dignities at once the throne from which it emanates, and the
country which is the object of it.
Haytians !—A special decree of his Majesty Charles X., dated
the 17th of April last, recognizes the full and entire independence
of your Government. 'Flits authentic act, in adding the termality
of right to the politicsl existence which you had already
acquired, will legalise in the eyes of the world the rank in
which you had placed yourselves, and to which Providence had
called you.
Citirms I—Commerce and agriculture are about to extend
themselves. The arts and sciences, which delight in peace, will
hasten to embellish your new destinies with all the benefits of
civilization. Continue, by your attachment to the national insti-
tutions, and above all, by your union, to inflict despair on those
who would attempt to disturb you in the just and peaceable pos-
session of your rights.
Soldiers !—You have deserved well of your country. Under all
circumstances you have been ready to fight in her defence. You
will be ever faithful to your duties. The confidence of which yes
have given such proofs to the chief of the state is the sweetest re-
compense of the anxiety he has felt for the prosperity and glory of
the republic.
Haytians !—Show yourselves always worthy of the honourable
situation which you hold among nations, and more happy than
your Sires, who could transmit nothing to you but a dreadful lot,
you will bequeath to your posterity the most delightful inhe-
ritance which it is possible to desire, co tcord at home and peace
abroad, a country prosperous and respected.
Given at the National Palace of Port-au-Prince, the eleventh
of July, 1823, in the 22d year of Independence.
