( From the Haytian Official Gasette,lhe Telegraph, of July 17.),
On Sunday, the 3d July, at 10 o'clock in the
morning, signal was made that afrigate and two smaller vessels
were off Port-au-Prince. *We were farirom thinking that they
were the ships of his Most Christian Majesty. At 2 o'clock
they anchored in the roads, and we then saw that they consisted
of a frigate, 4 brig, and a schooner,.under. the _French flag, the.
frigate having also the Haytian flag at her wizen-mast. Col.
Boisblanc, the Commandant of the port, was going on board,
when he met a boat coming from the frigate with a.flag of truce,
in which was an officer, bringing, dispatches to the:Government.'
Col. Boisblanc took the' packet, and the boat .returned to the
frigate. "Ills Excellency the President of Hayti having received
these dispatches, sent for Gen. Inginac, the Secretary-General,
and ordered him to reply to the letter which had been addressed
to him by the Baron de Mackau, Captain in the Royal Navy,
commanding. the frigate La Circ, for the purpose of announc-
ing that he was charged by his Most Christian Majesty with a
mission, wholly pacific, to the Government of Hayti, • from
which he hoped that great benefits would result to the country.
—The Secretary-General sent one of his Aides-de-Camp that
evening on hoard the frigate, to carry the -reply to M. de Mac-
kau. lie informed the Baron in this letter, that he would be re-
ceived with all the regard due to the Monarch by whom he was
sent. Orders were immediately given for the reception of M.
de Mackau and his suite. On the•following day, the 4th inst.,
at 7 o'clock in the morning, the Noble Envoy of his Most
Christian Majesty landed, and proceeded in a carriage to the
hotel of the•Secretary-General, whereafter a private conference,
which lasted upwards of two hours, M. de Mackau retired
to the apartments appropriated to his use. As soon as the
Secretary-General had given to his Excellency an account of
his interview with the Baron, the President appointed three
Commissioners :(Colonel Fremont, one of his Excellency's
Aides-de-Camp, the Senator Rouancz, and the Secretary-Gene-
ral) to take charge of the mission of M. de Mackau, and treat
with for the great object of the recognition of the indepen-
dence of Hayti. The Commissioners and Envoy had a con-
ference on the evening of the 4th, which lasted several hours,
and on the sth, at noon, they had another, which Was continued
till four• o'clock in the afternoon. In these two conferences the
interests of the Governments were defended on each side with
ardour and patriotism. On the evening of the same day his
Excellency the President of Hayti had a first interview wen the
Baron de Mackau. On the 7th, at noon, his Excellency con-
voked a meeting at the National Palace, consisting of the Se-
cretary of State, the Grand Judge, the Secretary General, the
Generals and Senators who were in the capital, the 'l'ieasurer
General, the Senior Judge-of the Court of Cassation, and other
Civil and Military Officers, in order to consult them on the pro-
positions offered by M. de Mackau. The same evening there'
was another conference with him. On the morning of the Bth,
his Excellency the President of Haytiannounced by letter to
-the Baron that the Government- of the ,Republic, considering
the explanations he had given,-accepted the ordinance, which,
on certain conditions, recognized the full and entire indepen-
dence of Hayti ; immediately the hrig •Le Ruse, commanded
by Captain Luneau, was dispatched to the fleet which was in
our -waters under the orders of Rear-Admirals Jurien tie la
Graviere and Grivel, for the purpose of announcing to them the
conclusion of the negociation, and on the evening of the same
day the schooner La Bearnnaise„-commanded by Lieutenant
Deiville, was dispatched to France with the same news.
The ceremony of the confirmation anclacceptation of the or-
dinance by the Senate was then fixed ,for the 11th. (The
Official Gazette then gives the programme of this ceremony,
Which was settled by the Baron de Mackau and Gen. Inginac4
On the 11th, at the hour appointed, M. de .51ackau, and the
Admirals and Officers of the squadron off the port, having
landed according to the order fixed by the supplement to the
programme, and having received the compliments of General
Thomas, and the Generals who. accompanied him, the pro-
cession moved from the quay to the Senate, where having
entered, the Baron de Machu made the following speech
" Gentlemen of the Senate, •
"The King has ordered me to come to you and offer you in
his name the most generous compact of which the present
epoch affords an instance. You will find the proof of it, Gen-
tlemen, in the fact, that under the present important eircum-
. stance:: the royal mind of his Majesty is not less concerned as
to the precarious state of the Haytians, than as to the interests
of his own subjects.
" IVithout doubt, Gentlemen, the distinguished virtues of,
your worthy President, anti the interest of a Prince who is at
the same time the pride both of his father and of France, have
exercised a great influence over the determination of his Ma-
jesty; but it was sufficient that there was good to be done, and
the peace between men to be effected, in order that the heart
of Charles X. should be deeply interested.
" Gentlemen, God will bless this sincere and important re-
conciliation, and permit it to serve as an example to other
States, yet afflicted with evils which humanity deplores.
66 We may now hope that in the New World, as in the Old,
we shall find all hearts filled with that love which was be-
queathed to .us by our fathers, and which our most remote
posterity will inherit for that august House of France, which,
having insured• the happiness of our country, wishes to found
that of this new State."
He then laid ille Ordinance on the table of the President of
the Senate.

The President of the Senate rose and replied to the speech of
the Baron in the following manner:—
" Sir—We receive with veneration the Ordinance of his Most
Catholic Majesty, by. which the recognition of the independence
of Hayti is formally declared, and the solemn act-of which you
have been charged to present to us.
" It belonged to a descendant of the noble and ancient race
of the Bourbons to affix the seal to the great work of our rege-
neration. After such fatal and cruel calamities endured by us,
Charles X., justly styled the Most Christian King, comes at
last to acknowledge the right acquired by the people of. Hayti,
and to call this young nation to take its rank among theancient
nations of the world.

" Give thanks to the Almighty ! Glory to the august Mo-
narch, who, disdaining the laurels that would have been soiled
with blood, preferred to wear on his majestic brow the olive of
peace. We -will unite our prayers far blessings on his dearly
beloved son, of whom France, in proclaiming his virtues, has
made his voice rc-echo even ,to our shores. We congratulate
M. le Baron de illackau for having so worthily fulfilled his
honourable mission. The name of his Sovereign, of the Dau-
phin of France, and of himself, will.be written.in indelible cha-
racte:s in the annals of Hayti."
After this speech one of the Secretaries of the Senate read,
in a loud and distinct voice, the ordinance of his most Catholic
Majesty, dated the I 7th.of_April last, which recognised the
full and entire independence of the Government. of.llayti.
Afterwards this solemn Act was entered in the registers of the
Senate, and then given to a Deputation composed of the Sena-
tors Daumec, Pitre, end Rouanez, to be carried by than to the
President of Hayti. The cries of Live Charles X.! Live the
Dauphin of France ! Live France! Live Hayti ! Live the Pre-
sident of Hayti ! re-echoed from all sides of the hall, and after
the. confirming of the .ordinance the sitting was terminated,
and they repaired to the National Palace. Being arrived .at
the foot of the staircase, the Envoy.of his ,Most Catholic Ma-
jesty, the Admiral, am! Deputation of the Senate were re-
ceived by Rear-Admiral Panayti, the of the Pa-
lace, and were introduced by the Aides-de-Camp on duty in
the Hall of the Generals, where his Excellency the President
of Hayti was surrounded by his great officers of state. Atter
mutual salutations had passed, and the principal personages
had taken their seats, the Senator Daumec, holding in his
hands the Ordinance of the Most Christian King, enclosed in
a superb velvet case,
_ took it out, and made a speech suitable
to the occasion, which we regret we have not the power to
give, and then placed the said Ordinance upon the table.—
His Excellency then addressed the Envoy and Deputation as
follows :

" In solemnly accepting the ordinance of his Majesty Charles
X. which recognises in a formal manner the full and entire in-
dependence of the Government of Hayti, it is most gratifying
to my heart to behold the seal affixed to the emancipation of a
deserving people by his courage and determination, an honour
which Providence had reserved for him, of a people at the head
of whom it was my glorious privilege to have been. called.
" If the Haytians by their constancy and their loyalty have
merited the esteem of impartial men of all nations, it is right
here to pay homage to the immortal glory which 14, this me-
morable act the Monarch of France has just added to the splen-
dour of his reign. May the life of this SOvereign be long and
happy for the sake of humanity
For twenty-two years we have annually renewed the oath
to live independent or to die; henceforth we will add a wish
dear to our heart, and which I hope witl be heard in Heaven,
that a reciprocal confidence and candour may ever cement the
agreement which has just been formed between the French and
the Haytians."
M. de Mackau rose and addressed his Excellency the Presi-
dent of Hayti as follows:
" Sir—The King knew that there existed on this distant land
formerly a dependent of his State, an illustrious Chief, who
never used his influence or authority but to relieve.the unhappy,
to disarm war of its useless rigours, and to shelter the French
especially under its protection.
" The King said to me—Go to that celebrated man, offer
him peace, and for his country prosperity and happiness. I
have obeyed. I have met the Chief whom my King de-
scribed to me, and Hayti has taken its rank among independent
nations."
The President of Hayti, in reply, expressed himself in. these
terms :
" Sir—My sou! is affected at the expression of these senti-,
ments which you have just declared. It is at the same time a

nounced in this grave solemnity on the part of his Majesty the
King of France. All that I have done has been but the result
of fixed principles that shall never change.
" I feel real satisfaction in being able, under these circum-
stances, to assure you how happy I am in appreciating the ho-
nourable qualities that distinguish you."
Ater the President had done speaking he gave orders to the
Secretary-General to read the Ordinance of his Most Christian
Majesty, and afterwards the receipt given to M. de Mackau for
the delivery of the Ordinance of which he was the bearer. The
signal was then given, and immediately the vessels composing
the French squadron, lying off the port, saluted the flag of Hayti
as that of an independent nation ; and in reply the guns of Fort
Alexandre, the forts of the line, and the Haytian vessels in the
roads, saluted the Royal flag of France.
The joyful cries of " Vive sa Majesty Tres Chretienne ! "
" Vive la Famille Royale de France ! " " Vive le President
d'Haiti ! " " Vive 'lndependence ! " " Vive la France! "
" Vive Haiti:; " burst forth simultaneously on every side.
The Procession then went to the Parish Church to hear Te
Deem.
The remainder of the Official Gazette is filled with the ac-
count of the banquet and 'ball given by the President of
llayti, in honour of the recognition of the independence of his
country.
On the same day the President issued the following Procla-
mation to the People and to the Army :
John Peter Boyer, President of Hayti :
Haytians.!—A long oppression had pressed upon Hayti.
Our courage and our' heroic efforts snatched it 22 years ago from
the degradation which oppressed it, to place it in the scale of
independent nations. Bat there was wanting to our glory ano-
ther triumph. The. French flag, in coming to salute this land
of liberty, consecrates the legitimacy of your emancipation. It
was reserved for that monarch, as great as he is religious, who
governs France, to signalize his accession to the throne by an
act of justice; which dignifies at once the throne from which it
emanates,,and the country which is the object of it.
Haytiatis !—A special decree of his Majesty Charles X.,
dated the,l7th of April last, recognises the full and entire inde-
pendence of your Government. This authentic act, in adding
the formality of right to the political existence which you had
already acquired, will legalise in the eyes of the world the rank
in which you had placed yourselves, and to which Providence
had called you.
Citizens!—Commerce. and agriculture are about to extend
themselves. The arts and sciences, which delight in peace,
will hasten to embellish your new destinies with all the benefits
of civilization. Continue, by your attachment to the national
institutions, and above all, by our union, to inflict despair on
those who would attempt to.-disturb you in the just and peace-
able possession of your rights.
Soldiers !—You have deserved well of your country. Under
all circumstances you have been ready to fight in her defence.
You will -be ever faithful to your duties. The confidence of
which you have given such proofs to the Chief of the State is
the sweetest recompence of the anxiety lie has felt for the pros-
perity and glory of the republic.
Haytians !—Sliew yourselves always worthy of the honour-
able situation which you hold among nations, and more happy
than your sires, who could transmit nothing to you but a dread-
ful lot, you will bequeath to your posterity the most delightful
inheritance which it is possible to desire, ,concord at home and
peace abroad, a country prosperous and respected,
Given at the National Palace of Port-au-Prince, the 11th
of July, 1825, in the 22d year of-Independence.

B. INGINAC.

[Here follows a correspondence between the Captain of,the
French frigate La Nymphe and Colonel Boisblanc, Comman-
dant of the port of. Port-au-Prince, on the subject of four Hay-
tian sailors, who had been taken .near the Havannah, on board
a. Colombian privateer, and who having claimed protection
from Captain Cuvillier, as French subjects, have been restored
by him to their own country]

NEW CHURCHES.

DIOCESE OF DURHAM.

THE CONSECRATION OF ST. JOHN'S CHURCH, IX THE

rAnisu OF GATESHEAD.

Tuesday last being appointed for the above ceremony, at an
early hour in the morning, vehicles of all descriptions were in
motion towards the place, and at eleven in the forenoon, the
church was filled in every
.part .by a numerous and respectable
assemblage. ,The church is situated on the brow of the highest
part of gateabead Fell, and will prove an excellent land-mark
for the mariners who navigate this coast. The building is of the
Gothic order, and seat room is provided for 1,000 persons. The
spire, which is being erected on the tower of the church, is ex-
tremely light and elgant, and when finished (the elevation be-
ing intended to be 80 fe!L) will have a very fine effect. The Lord
Bisitor OF OXFORD( who performed the ceremony for the vene-
rable Bishop of the Diocese) arrived about 11, and was received
with every mark of respect by Sir Robert Hawks, and the other
gentlemen who form the committee. His Lordship was con-
ducted to the altar, which: is situated in a recess at the east end
of the church, and is lighted by an elegant window of stained
glass. The ceremony of the consecration was react by his Lord-
ship in an impressive manner; and he then adjourned to the
open space adjoining the church, where the ceremony of conse-
crating the church-yard as a cemetery, was also performed.—
The procession then returned to the thurch, and the usual ser-
vice on such occasions was gone through. The sermon was
preached by the Rev. J. Collinson, curate of Lamesley, from
1 Kings viii. 63. A considerable number of clergymen were
present, and there were upwards of 1,200 person in the church.
—The ample accommodation afforded, was a source of general
congratulation, as it will allow the dense population in that
quarter ample opportunity for the purposes of devotion.—.
There are five hundred free sittings. In the year 1809 an act
was passed, constituting Gateshead Fell .a separate rectory,
and an acre of ground was allotted to the rector. of Gateshead,
for the site of a church and cemetery, leaving, however, the
whole original parish still united as to the joint maintenance of
the poor. The foundation-stone of the new church was laid on
the 13th May, 1824, by the Rev. J. Collinson, A.M. Rector of
Gateshead. The Rev. Mr. Hawks will be the first incumbent
of this new living, which is endoWed with the tithes of the recent
inclosure on Gateshead Fell.

crated a new Chapel of Ease at Rainton, in the parish of
Houghton-le-Spring. His Lordship was, on Wednesday, on a
visit to Capheaton, the seat of Sir John Swinburne, Bart. ; and
yesterday he was to consecrate the new Church of Falstone,
one of the livings into which the large Rectory of Simonburn
was some years ago divided. by Act of Parliament. His Lord-
ship; on his visit to Falstone, was to be entertained at the hos-
pitable mansion of Vim. John Charlton, gsq., of Hesleyside,
near that place.

the venerable Bishop of Durham, ordained, at Sedgefield, 14

this venerable Nobleman arrived at Alloa Tower, in a hearse

ing coaches, and lay there in state till the following day, when
the funeral took place at two o'clock. A great concourse of
people awaited the landing of the cavalcade at the ferry, where,
only twelve months ago, they testified, on his visit to Alloa, the
first ebullition of their joy at the restoration of his earthly ho-
nours. The feelings of the public were gratified in being
allowed to visit the tower and view the coffin, which was of the
most magnificent description. The body was conveyed through
the flower garden adjoining the tower, by a private road, which

GEORGIA AND THE CREEKS.

(From the Georgia Journal.)

In consequence of the publication of the cer-
tificate of Joseph Marshall, appended to the let-
ter of General Gaines, it becomes necessary to
re-publish so much of the correspondence be-
tween Goverao?Troup and General AFlntosh,
as relates to the assent of the Indians to the sur-
vey of the territory ceded. The people will then
have the evidence on both sides of this point be-
fore them.
