The pale are aware tb It enee.. time ago a raission
eves scat by General Geyer, the new Presi:lent of
Ilayti, to the Geveraor of Jamaica, m announce his
see.esion to the Presidency, and that .the polite reeep-
tiou which the mission received from Sir H.Popham,
our Admiral on the Windevard Island station, had
made an impression on the new President highly fa-
vourable to the interests of the British merchants re.
siding within his territories. The Jamaica journalists
eiew the transaction in very different ight ; and Sirl
H. Popham, far having per •.titted the Arab:tendon to
partake of the hospitality of his table in the midst of
his own family,
is _mottled against with as much
asperity u if he had been guilty of a high political
ratederceanour. The gallant Admiral muy causele
himself for these invectives, .with the reflection that in
iespeeting the dignity of human nature, he at the same
:me best roughed the interests of his eoentry. Hai •
he .aeted otherwise,it is pretty generally understood
that our merchants would have-been instantly ordered
to quit the territories of the .Haytistri Republic, anti
their property, amountieg to a million slid a half,
would most probably have been eenfiseated.
