ADDRESS OF THE SENATE TO THE PEOPLE.

" The President of Hayti, by his Proclamation of the 19th
of last month, has brought to your recollection the calamities by
which you have been afflicted during so many years. This in-
defatigable Chief succeeded in putting a period to your misfor-
tunes, and he still continues to consolidate your happiness, and
to prepare future benefits for your posterity.
" The period had arrived wheh the republic advanced with
a firm and assured step. Its majestic front arose superior to
the storms which had opposed its prosperity. Nothing farther
appeared to resist the accomPlishment of high destinies under
the regis of the protecting Power which unceasingly watches
over its preservation ; but a man, whose country is scarcely
known, Darfour, who had before endeavoured to disturb the
state by his incendiary writings—this traitor plotted in secret
the means of spreading desolation through the Republic.
" On Friday, the 30th of this month, this perfidious and
audacious man presented to the Chamber of Representatives a
petition which tended to pervert the public mind, and to sub-
vert the national edifice. After this infernal writing had been
read, and the Chamber had too long delayed to denounce the
guilty,author, the people, indignant at this lenient conduct,
arose spontaneously and arrested the traitor. During this sacred
insurrection, four members of the Chamber of Representatives,
who had for some time been marked out by public opinion as
men desirous of disturbing the repose of the state by their
liberticide manoeuvres, were also arrested, together with two
members of the judicial body.
" Had it not been for the parental solicitude of the President
of Hayti—had it not been for the vigilance of that wise and
prudent man, this event must have been attended with unfor-
tunate results towards those persons who had drawn upon them-
selves the public animadversion.
" The troops who compose the garrison of this city have
shown on this, as on every other occasion, how obedient they
arc to the voice of the first magistrate of the republic.
" Citizens, continue to support by your noble efforts the man
who has so often given you proofs of his paternal love. No,
you will no longer permit designing and ambitious men to en-
deavour again to spread mourning and desolation over our cities
and fields.

" The Senate, on the 30th of this month, admired in you the
attitude of a high-minded people, conscious that your rights
were to be secured by the destruction of tyrants. Which of
you does not feel transported by that ardour which indignantly
burns at beholding the perfidious men who seek to disturb your
tranquillity. This powerful sentiment, which ought not to
permit any true Republican to remain inactive, has rendered
you worthy of yourselves by the act which you have performed;
preserve this noble enthusiasm ; cast your eyes over our vast
possessions ; see with what care the plains are cultivated ; be-
hold what happiness and peace your families, your wives, and
your children enjoy. Shall traitors come to undermine your
felicity and to snatch from you the fruit of your labour ?
" Citizens ! Never before did circumstances more imperious-
ly require the Haytians to unite in one mind, to have but one
and the same opinion, and to rally courageously round the fa-
ther of the country.
" The most perfect tranquillity reigns throughout the re-
public, thanks to the care and watchfulness of the President of
Hayti, who devotes all his precious time to the promotion of
the happiness of the State.
" The Senate fully relies upon the zeal which animates you
for your own preservation ; may this zeal always be in unison
with the principles which animate you in preserving religiously
your institutions.
" Long live the Republic ! Long live Independence ! ! Long
live the President of Hayti ! ! !
" National House, Port-au-Prince, August 31, 1822,
in the 19th year of independence.
" LATORTUE, President of the Senate.
" N. VIALLET and GAVOT, Secretaries."
