HAYTI.

l'Uadelphia C.4:-(7;te, speaking of the re.
cognition of American Independence, ar-44 As
the independence of only a par, ofenelsland ap-
pears to have been rerognizee, we must not be
surprised if we shortly hear of the Spanish- part
being occupied 1)9 the French forces." We may
be at :cult in our history but- we nad always
supposed that the whole island was declared in-
dependent of both France and Spain in 1801 ;.
tthat the Spanish have had no part of the island
since the occupation of it by the English in 1793 ;
and that since the death of Christophe and Pe-
tion, the Spanish and French parts of the island
have been united under the Government of Boyer.
if this .be correct; and we believe it to be So, we
can gee no .necessity for " the Spanish part being
occupied by French troops." The fact probably
is, that the French have relinquished their right,
to the part to which they had a claim; they could
not sell that which never belonged to them. But
that Part which once belonged to Spain is as inde-
pendent as that now recognized by France, and
equally occupied by the Government and forces
of Boyer. That part Sold by France to the
Haytians contains '2,500,000 acres, and they have
agreed to pay 150,000,000 francs, or GO francs
per acre (about il dollars) for its independence.
Whatever-doubts may have been entertained as
to the truth of the report that France had re-
cognized the independence of Hayti, there ap-
pears now to be no question of the fact. The sum
of '28,`200,000 dollars -(allowing 5 francs to be 94
cents.) appears an enormous amount to be paid
for a recognition of independence, after that iti•
dependence 'had been obtained by conquest, and
employed for 9.s‘years ; and this has been the
cause of_doubt in the minds of some of the cor-
rectness of the report—supposing- that Hayti
would not be able to pay it. Others think that
the Government will be able to pay it with ease,'
and that the saving of the ex pence of armies and
fortifications, heretofore necessarily kept up for
defence against apprehended .attacks from
France, will of itself nearly satisfy-the demand.,
The consequences of this recognition are yet in
Frnbryo„ nor can they. be predicted. To enjoy
the advantages of trade with Hayti, it will be
necessary for all Governments to follow the ex-
ample of France, and recognize-its independence.
A contrary course will shut the ports of Hayti
against them, and a natural and ,perpetual enmity
will be the consequence. To recognize its inde-
pendendence, and, consequently, to open their
ports to free and reciprocal intercourse, would
subject some-nalions to ineobveniences which are
justly anticipated- with -dread. Two courses,
then, are offered to the nalions---,to recognize the
indt,pendence of Hayti and brave the conse-
quences to your.selves.;,orrefuse so to do, and
.lose the trade, and -Make --perpetual enemies of
Haytians.:—choose ye. The following Ihtter
is copied from the Philadelphia Gazette:—

" We embrace this opportunity Ala New York, to inform
you of the air Wat here,on the3d:lnst. of a French frigate, a

Gn the evening of the 7th, the preliminaries' were agreed
to, and next morning the brig was dispatched to announce to

" It is states, that a Written pledge is given on the part Of
-,the Baron Mackau, that it was not the intention of the French
Government that the word produce should mean the export of
liaytian produce at half duties. This as well as other particu-
lars will be more amply explained as soon as we.can make our.:
-selves acquainted with them ;. no limitation is mentioned fin.
the terminations of the favoured duties.

'• Business is quite at a stand for the moment ; nothing but
feasting and illuminations is thought of."

REPUBLIC Or HAYTI".

PORT-AU-PRINCE.-(I:7TERIC+B.), JULY, 18111.

On the 3d inst. three French vessels of war, carrying the na-
• tional flags—one schooner, one brig, and one ship, •wearing the
- white flag at the peak, and Haytian colours at the fore top,
moored in the Great Wadshead, without gun-shot of our forts
at one o'clock p. m. Immediately after mooring, the frigate
sent her launch on shore, as a flag' of truce, to transmit to our-
Government the dispatches of the French nation.
Colonel Boishlunc, 'chief 67f port regulations, repaired on
board the French frights, having on the read fallen in with the
flag of truce, and receiving, from it the dispatches, the flag was
remanded on board till further orders. • The next day, the 4th
current, Colonel St. Victor Poel, chief of the military Police,
attached to the Prime Staff of the place, Grand Envoy of the
Republic of Hayti, Aide-de-camP of his Excellency the Presi.;
dent of the Republic, Commander-in-Chief of the squadron de
vicsama ; Doton Inginac, Aide-de-camp to General 13. Inginac,
received orders to repair on the beach, and meet the French Mi-
nister, Monsieur le Baron Mackau, commander of a line-of-
battle ship of his Most Christian Majesty the King of France.
As soon as tte public were informed that so distinguished en
officer, of such high fame in the glorious career of arms, had
made his entree in this Republic, with a treaty from his Sove-
reign of the recognition of our ii•dependence full and entire—
news highly acceptable—astonished many citizens, whilst others
expected it, from the justice and liberality That has distinguished
the reign of the august Monareh Charles X. of France, since
his possession of this crown.
From the 4th to the 6th, instant in the ,-morning, nothing
transpired relative to the treaty of our. recognition ; meanwhile,
we could, perceive a certain jc ne sais quoi on the countenance
of every one, pretia,ging something great and honourable ; but
on the 7th the good news was known publicly to all classes. On
the Bth inst, early in the morning, one of the French vessels of
war, the brig, made all sail from this harbour, carrying the
orders and joyful account to the heights of St. Mares, where we
distinctly heard the rejoicings of the people • fete succeeded
fete, and they applauded the Prince who proclaimed them free
and independent.
The ladies were occupied in this instance, as on all former
occasions, in the duties of their toilets, at balls, arid, in fact,
in all amusements common to the Haytians—all striving to..
