Military and Nii,al Forces of the State of Hayti, to tint
Army and People. -
" The light has broke in upon us, and a benefi-
cent Constitution has put an end to the plots and -
machinations, of which you were on the point of
becoming viCtitns. A wise code, adapted to Our.
manners, ourclimate,and our customs, has sprung,
as it may be said, out of chaos, and fixed once more
the destinies of Hayti.
" Long had I in vain sought to present you with
this precious gift : in vain did I assemble the Dis-
tri&s, and urge them to send Deputies to Port-au-
Prince, to give you a Constitution. My anxiety,
instead of being followed by the desired success,
only operated as an additional incitement to the fac-
tious, to pervert the public opinion, and to establish
a Constitution favourable to their interests, and those
of their adherents ; but as hostile to the liberty of
the people, as it was to the,principles of sound rea
son.
" Fellow-Citizens, you have all been witnesses to
the purity of my views, and the sincerity of my in-
tentions. You know how this sincerity has been
abused, by the miscreants who fomented revolt, and
kindled civil war. Their efforts never intimidated
me fora single moment, or diverted me from my
design of serving my country. By night or by day
I have never ceased to occupy myself in providing
for the public safety. What have I not done to
effect it ? What have I not suffered in counteraCting
the secret wiles and plots of the factious ?
" I have alivays been in the midst of you, nd you
can say whether myconduCt has ever been-infldenced
or my honour tarnished, by ambition. Invested with
the Supreme Power, this day, by the wish of my_
fellow-citizens and my companions in arms, I have
yielded to their desires ; and I have consented to
bear this weighty but honourable hurrhen, because
it was their wish that it should be entrusted to my
hands, and because I am willing again to serve my
Country. Happy shall Ibeif my efforts are crown-
ed with success, and if they .tend to the happiness
of my fellow-citizens !
" But, to attain this, my efforts alone will not
be sufficient : the Laws 'anti Constitution which
have just been presented to you must .be ouserved.
It provides for the religious preservatiop: of your.
rights; it secures to every Citizen his perscnal hber-
ty, his right of property, and that of his
The fatal consequences of the wars in which
we have been engaged, and still more the inimOral
example held out to us by the French; -hatrkitnosi
destroyed every principle of religion. The moral
system was publicly laughed at,. and a corrupted
youth abandoned itself without remorse to all the li-
centiousness of its age ; public education was degrad-
ed, and confided to mercenary inStruClors. It was ne-
cessary to restore, to religion its dignity—to cause it
to be respected and cherished. It was necessary to
revive morality, to give it due distinCtion, to incul-
cate into the minds of youth its sacred principles, and
those of honour also ; in: short, to convince the
people, that without, religion and Morality, human.
society could not exist.

" Your interests will be secured to you by proper
tribunals; the judgrrients pronounced by their mi-
nisters will be di6tated by equity and justice. It
remains for the people of Hayti to make themselves
distinguished by their probity and good faith. Essen-
. tially a trading country, as well from its situation as
the nature of the commodities it produces, it is ne-
cessary that it should,attraCt the merchants of every
country on the globe, both. by its equity and its
produce. •
" Trade being the source of all our wealth, it is
important that the foreign
.merchants who frequent
-our ports, should be equally protthed with our fel-
low-citizens ; and that they should receive all that
hospitality due to this useful class of society.
To feed this trade—to give it a new spring--
agriculture must be prosecuted with perseverance
and vigour. Placed under the finest climate of the
world, favoured by nature with 'her most precious
gifts, even to profusion, the husbandman haS not at
Hayti to contend with the rigour of a frozen clitn, •
or to fortify himself againSt the inclemencies of sea-
soris A little labour is sufficient to enrich him, and
to place him on a level with die manufacturers of
other countries: Exert yourselves, then, indUsrions
Cultivators, to fill your warehouses with the pro-
duce of our fertile sail. Display to the eyes of the
Merchants of Europe all that can tempt their de-
Sires, and you will soon see your trade flourish
much above your most sanguine'expedations,
" After having re-established religion, defecated
morality, restored manners,. and encouraged agricul-
ture and trade, we shall .have still great labours to
encounter. We must not neglea the use of arms.
The enemy watches our movements, and observes
our proceedings. We have as yet no guarantee Of
the affeaion of our friendS. We must bind the latter
to us by treaties; we must he ready to meet the for-.
mer in the field: Abandoned to ourselves, our re-
sources are in ourselves. They are in you, Soldiers,
who are ready generously .to spill your blood sooner
than yield to dhauglity enemy your liberty, which is
the reward of yotir courage! They are in yeti, In-
habitants and industrious Cultivators, from whom
the State derives its wealth ! It is your union, I
your submission to the laws, which are to be the

cement and bond of our independence.
" The line of politics which Foreign Powers will
pUrsue with resped to us is not yet manifest :. what-
ever it may be, let us place ourselves in such a situa-

Lion,, that, without holding out any defiance to them,
we may, at the same time, have nothing to dread
from those who may entertain hotile intentions. Let
those who wish a political connexion with us, or who
would wish to enjoy the advantage of our commerce,

find-an equitable reciprocity. To the rest, let- us
only offer death and battles.
At the same time that we are occupied with
these thoughts, let us never forget that the safety of
a free people is best maintained by arms. If culti-
vation employs a part of our fellow-citizens, let us
remember that we are all soldiers, and that it is war-
like nations alone who have been able to preserve

their liberty. Let us call to mind that a handtril of
Greeks, devoted to their country, confounded the

rage of a million of barbarians, who
,endeavoured to
wrest from theth their liberty. Let us swear to imi-
tate
their example; let us swear to observe our sa-
cred Constitution, and to came it to be observed,
and to perish sooner than to allow it to be violated
in the smallest degree.

SOLIP QUIS DICERE FALSUM AUDS/LT?

L.O DO N,

THURSDAY, MAY 28, 1807.'

WE yesterday expressed .our firm convi&ion that
the report ofDaruzic having surrendered on the 9th
inst. was unfounded. We are now happy to have it in
our power to state, that Authentic Accounts have
been received from Dantzic, of as late a date as
the 13th, and at that time it had not surrendered,
nor was an idea of the kind entertained. The Allied
Army is in the most excellent condition, and anxious
to meet the Enemy. The Russians alone amount
to upwards of 180,000 men.

GOVERNMENT have received Dispatches from Lord
COLLINGWOOD, dated the.t2th instant. His Lord-
ship had not at that time received any account
of the capture of the Sea-Horse Frigate. The
Sea-Horse sailed from Gibraltar on the 4th of
April, but not with any convoy, nor had she any
Money on board, as has been erroneously stated'in
several of the Papers. :
A report was, yesterday circulated, that Govern-
ment had received an account of a Squadron•
having escaped from Brest, in consequence of
whiCh orders had been transmitted to Plymouth by
the. Telegraph, for all the Ships at that Port to
put to sca, in quest of the Enemy. The same
'report . was circulated a .few days ago; we then
contradicted it ; and we again positively repeat, that
no account has reached Government of any Ships
having escaped from Brest. Of course no such or-,
ders, as those above alluded to, have been trans.-
mittedto Plymouth.

are extremely sorry to inform the public,
that a mutiny lately broke, out at Alalta, which
was fortunately suppressed in time, or• the most ru-
inous consequences might have ensued.
The following is an Extraa of a Letter that we
have received, dated the 13th of April, upon which
our Readers may implicitly 'depend :

" We have had a troublesome time here :, the Re-
giment of Froberg, in garrison at Recasil, mutinied
on the 4th inst. and for seven .days had complete
possession, until the place was stormed, when a num-
ber of barbarous and wicked villains were taken. • A
few got possession of the Maga7:ne, and secreted
themselves there until last night, when they bleW
themselves up ;fortunately only threeofdur men' were
killed by the explosion. The breach isvery great, andit
is supposed,the injury will cost 30,0001, ty
and take twelve months in doing it; ten were hung
on Saturday and fourteen shOt—and as many more;
will go to execution this day."

Tins foreneOn the Purser of the Experiment East
Indianian, Capt. NORMA ND, from Bombay, zuTiVed
at the East India House : left the Ship yesterday
evening, . off Dover. The koginzent sailed from
Bombay the latter end of December—touched at the
Cape, and left St. Helena the 27th March last, at
which period there was not any Ship at that Island.

Yesterday His MAJESTY, as usual, came to town
about twelve o'clock, arrived at the .Queen's Palace,
and hbld a private Levee; which was ;mended by

The ArchbiShop of Canterbury, the Lord Chancellor, the
Lord President of the Council, the Lord Privy Seal, the First
Lord of the Treasury, the Chancellor of the Exchequers the
Secretaries of State for the Home and Colonial Departments,
the. Master General of the. Ordnance, the Judge Advocate, the
Secretary at War, the Dukes of Newcastle and Montrose,
Earl Aylestbrd, fiords Willoughby De Broke, Cathcart, and
C. Spencer,- the Bishops of Salisbury and Elphin, Sir I.
Pulteney,. Col. Pition, the Rev. Dr. l3eyain, Mess: Pierre_
point, (.3 reville, and Fawkener.

The following had the honour of being presented
to firs MAJESTY :
Colonel Piton, upon his return from being Governor of
Trinidad.

The Rev. Dr. Beyam, by Sir James l'ulteney, upon his
being appointed Redor of the Parish of IVyke, in Weymouth.
Dr. Fisher did homage before His Majesty, upon his be-
ing translated from the Bishopric:lc of Exeter to Salisbury.
The Bishop of Ei phin, in Ireland, by the Bishop of S. iis_
bury, upon his return to Ireland.
Mr. PIERREPOINT took leave of his MAJESTY,
previous to his departure on his" Embassy for Swe-
den.

His MAJESTY held a Privy Council, and after-
wards gave audience to Lord HAWKESBURY, Earl
CAMDEN, Viscount CASTLEREAGH, the Duke of
PORTLAND, Mr. PERCEVAL, Mr. PIERREPOINT, and
Mr, BOND, who laid before his MAJESTY the Pro-
ceeding of several Courts Martial.

Soon after six o'clock his MAJESTY set off on his
return to Windsor.

HIS MAJESTY, who was diisuaded•by some of his
late Ministers frcim availing himself last year, of the
benefit of his usual excarson to the coast,- means to
visit Weymouth this sun-m.I,T.
Mr. THORNTON, brother to His Majesty's Mini-
ster in Saxony,'. set off rather late last night -from 'the,
Foreign Office for the Continent. From this Gentle-
man's local knowledge of Turkey, it appears a pro.-.
bable conje6ture that he is charged with some .Mission'
relative to that country, prep!. ratory. to the embassy
of Sir A. PACET.
