It appears from private communications, that the
French still 10,,k with longing eyes, but, we suspect,
with vain hopes, to the re-possession of St. Domingo.—
Some tavern meeting in London, at which the health of
the King of Hayti was drank, Las called tiwth strong
animadversions in the Paris Myer:. The history and
character of the sable Sovereign are exposed most unmer-
cifully, and the claims of the King of France to thu
island are stoutly asserted. It is probable enough that
the charges against him are well thuntled ; but we must
recollect the train of dismal events which ended in this
phenomenon, of a negro sovereignty in the Vest ladies.
It was after a series of disorders, that the slaves, selll-
- erected a throne of their own, on which
Christophe now sits. Buonaparte, a greater usurper
than Christophe, sent his brother-in-law, I.(elere, whit
near 40,000 Frenchmen, to St. Domingo ; most of tLem
found their graves in the Lie island which they tra-
versed the ocean to conquer. The black man, whatever
he may be, holds possession of the place—he is King tf
Hayti ; and in this, and other countries, he has pur-
chased all the feathers and trappings of a in.tirtr:•h.
is beyond the power of the present French C‘vermavnt
to subdue him.
