P. S. The Hungarians will not tear en y er.
In the mean time 110 deserters have made their
escape out of the town and presented themselves
here ; so that I will not believe in the bombardment
until I see it. One of the Hungarians said to an
Austrian Colonel that sooner than surrender they
would blow themselves all -ap in the air. " Then,
said the Colonel, " I hope you will let me know, in
order that I may see it, for it will be a very curious
sight." I dont think that he is likely
,to see it.—

THE EMPEROR OF HAYTI.
The Feuile du Commerce, published at Port-au-
Prince, gives the following account of the proceedings
at the nomination of President Soulouque to the title
and dignity of Emperor of Hayti :
" The Empire! Such is the event which occupies all
minds. Last Sunday, August 26, at the moment that
we were distributing our journal, the cannons reaound-
ing from every quarter saluted the nomination of the
President Rada Soulouque to the title and dignity of
Emperor.
" Since the 231 of August there has been circulated
in the capital an address to the Members of the Chamber
of Representatives and the Senate, demanding, in the
name of the people, the title and dignity of Emperor for
the President of Hayti. This address was covered with
signatures. In the afternoon of the 24th it was sent to
the Chamber of Representatives, and the next day two
declarations to the same purport, signed by the general
officers, colonels, and subordinate cificers, who were at
the capital, were also sent to the Legislative body by
General Vil Lubin, commander of the place. On the
same day the Chamber, after having examined the peti-
tion, brought in a Bill conferring the title and dignity of
Emperor on the President of Hayti. The day after, the
26th, in the morning, the Senate adopted it.
" Immediately thereafter that body went to the Pa-
lace, where the representatives and civil and military
functionaries were already assembled. The Emperor
and Empress did not delay in making their appearance.
The President of the Senate then paced the Imperial
Crown on the head of the Chief of the State, and placed
a cross of gold at his button-hole. Next he placed around
the neck of the Empress a chain of great value, after
which the shouts of " Vise r Empereur !" re-echoed in
the hall. Mr. Larochel delivered an address to the Em-
peror to which ho briefly replied.
" The public functionaries then accompanied their
Majesties to the parish church, where a Te Deem Ras
immediately chanted. For several evenings subsequent
the city was illuminated."
The decree of the Legislative body was worded as
follows :

" Considering the wish manifested by a majority of
citizens and officers of every rank. and addressed to the
Chamber of Representatives and Senate to receive the
sanction of the legislative body;
" The Chamber of Representatives and Senate, uniting
in the wish of the people and the army.
" Decree as follows :
" Art. 1. The title and dignity of Emperor are con•.
fcrred on the President of Hayti, lfaustin Soulouque, as
a mark of gratitude for the eminent services which that
illustrious chief has rendered to the country.
" 2. The present laws and institutions will remain in
force until the Li gislative body shall be called on to re-
vise them in order to render them conformable to the
new state of things.
" Given at the Chamber of Representatives, August
26th, 1849, the 46th year of independence."
(Signed by the President, Secretarics, and
twenty-nine Members.)
The Senate adopted the Bill the next day,rand its
vote is similarly signed by all its officers. The Em-
peror accepted his elevation in the following lan-
guage :
" The President of Hayti declares that he submits to
the wish of the nation, which, by the agency of the
Chamber and the Senate, confers on him the title of Em-
peror. In consequence, he orders that the above law of
the Legislative body be promulgated and executed
throughout the territory of the Empire.
" Given at the Imperial Palace at Port-au-Prince,
August 26th, 1849, the 46th year of independence, and
the first of our reign. SOULOUQUE.
" By the Emperor."
(Signed by the Secretary-General and
other officials.)
The Senate, on adopting the decree, prepared an
address, stating that the act was done in obedience to
the wish of the nation, and telling Soulouque that his
profound love for the public weal and high sense of
duty had entitled him to the dignity, his elevation to
which would assure the future prosperity of the nation.
The proclamation of the new monarch to his subjects
is as follows :
" LIBERTY,
