DAILY
grtrocts from the Morning Papers, Aug. 15*

[Tits TIMES.]
The recognition of Hayti as an independent
State,. is said, on telegraphic authority, to have
been consummated by the Government of Charles
X. No doubt that Hayti was free and inde-
pendent,
whether France had consented or de-
clined
to acknowledge her. It is equally un-
doubted that, if six millions of Haytian money
have gone for the purchase of, such a,concessioti
from the Bourbons, the latter, so far as the treaty •
is confined to the immediate relations between
France and St. Domingo, have great reason to be •
satisfied with•their bargain. We have long since
wondered why it was that the Black Republic-
should be desirous of paying for the shadow, a
higher price than the substance of emancipation
had cost her—more particularly as there exists 110
possible guarantee against future attempts of
France, under other pretexts, to overthrow
that sovereignty of which she has now so dearly
sold the verbal recognition. But with regard
to countries not embraced within the terms of
the compact, France has given more than a mere
name for a substance. With respect to other
countries, names are things; and France has esta-
blished against herself a mighty principle of
.rk•a-
son and freedom, which goes to the root.. of the
Holy Alliance, and cuts away the whole. fnunda-
tion of that fearful confederacY against the human
race. If Hayti be an independent State, what.,-:
can retain Mexico, Peru, or Colombia in even
theoretical bondage ? What can justify Franc,.
in withholding a recognition of full sovereignty
in favour of these republics, if she admits that
in the case of St. Domingo the divine right
principle has ceased to run ? The solution of,
_ _

the jus by the factum, for which common sense
has so long contended, is now the doctrine of
France as clearly as of England ; nay, as
clearly as when France at a former crisis forced
the same principle into practice, when England
would, if she had been able, have resisted its op-
ration in the case of her own revolted colonies. We
may now, it is probable, contemplate a treble
consequence from this public act of France—lst,
that all delicacy towards Chaz-les X. will he at
an end on the part of 'England, and that Mr.
Canning will negociate a commercial treaty with
those whom his Most Christian Majesty no longer
claims for, subjects. 2d. That France will re-
cognize, after England, the enfranchised States
of North and South America. 3d. 'That French
politics will be released in Europe from the em-
barrassing, us well as odious, maintenance of the
monarchical principle, which charges with'
piety all popular resistance to oppression ; which
allows the validity of no human right, but of the
right divine and indefeasible, to use nations for
the sport of kingly caprices—which therefore,
by a consequence infallible and eternal, coerces
the whole race of man info Helots ; and reduces
all the faculties of his immortal soul to immovable
and hopeless prostration.

[BRITISH Pit Ess..l
The demi-official organ of the French Govern-
ment, the Mode, publishes an absurd article ott
the recognition of the Haytion republic. The
Journalist avails himself of the form of the, ordi-
nance to represent the measure as a purely spon-
taneous act on the part of Charles X. " The
King of France," says he, " using the full PX•
ercise of his legitimate sovereignty over,pae .of
his colonies, opens the ports of St. Dori-Ago to

the commerce of all nations, and fixes the_ tariff
of duties for all flags, reducing by half those
which the commerce of France shall henceforth
pay." Ilow ridiculous is this empty boatbast.!
Undoubtedly if we knew' no more of the events
connected with the separation of Hayti front
France, than we could gather from the ordi-
nance of Charles X., we might suppose that the

independence of Ilayti was altogether his gift'.
To what purpose is so useless a misrepresentation
endeavoured to be palmed upon the world ? It.
is only calculated to offend and irritate the people.
of Hayti, none of whom in fact ever acknowleg4

the sovereignty of the King of France. A new
generation has arisen since the struggle for inde-
pendence began ; and the survivors of those who.
commenced it, by the very act of revolt, denied
the lawfulness of the yoke imposed on them. It
would have been more confoimahle to historical
truth, and the obvious dictates\A sober sense, to
have represented the terms of the recognition of
Ilayti as the conditions of a treaty with an ex-
isting Power, without any reference to the ab-
stract right of sovereignty on either side. Ilayti
is independent, and that was the best reason in
the world for treating it so. But the French
Journalists must flourish about their Grand Mo.
narque, be he whom he may.

[MORNING. POST.]
French Papers to the 13th inst. and the Eloile
of Saturday reached us last night by Express.
They have brought the King's Ordinance alluded
to in the Telegraphic Dispatch given in our last,
as having been accepted by the Haytian Govern-
ment, together with.an explanatory article, the
object of which is to show that the principle of
legitimacy has been confirmed instead of being
weakened or abandon-ed by the mode in which
the independence of St. Domingo has been re=
cognized. The whole in fact seems io have
been a question of form. The llaytians hav-
ing established their independence tic facto,
only wished France to acknowledge what exist-
ed and,would continue to exist without her par-
ticipation. France on the contrary wished to
concede as a boon, that which was demanded as
a right. Hence she required a minnentary ac-
knowledgment of her original Sovereignty, pledg-
ing herself to use it o ly for the purpose of car-
rying into effect, by an act apparently her own,
the conditions which had been secretly agreed
upon by both Governments. On this point some
hesitation arose : but the good sense of the ('re-
sident ultimately triumphed over the notions of
false dignity which stood in the way of a settle-
ment, and he consented to gratify the childisb
pride of France. Hence we find Charles I.
ordaining as freely for St. Domingo as if WA aP.

thority had never ceased tobe obeyed in that co-
lony. • By a sort of political fiction, something
like those which have been abolished in the
practise of our laws, he creates that which al-
ready exists. Thus he opens the ports of the
French part of St.Dorningo to the commerce of all
nations. lie orders that the duties leVied in those
ports on vessels or merchandize, shall be equal for
all flags, except the French flag, in favour of
which. they are to be reduced one half. Ile di-
rects that the Hay dans shall pay 150 millions of
francs, in five equal instalments, from year to
year, beginning with the present, to indethnify
the ancient Colonists who shall claim an indem
nity. On these conditions, he " grants to the
actual inhabitants of the French part of the
Island of St. Domingo, the full and entire inde-
pendence of their Government."

UTIIE PUBLIC LEDGER.]
Tile recognition of St. Domingo, or rather, we
presume, the preliminary step towards it, which
the French Papers have just announced, has
agreeably surprised us ; and if followed up by
other measures of a corresponding character, it
many have an extraordinary influence on the
march of the French Government, which,
in its turn, cannot fail to affect the cha-
racter and movements of other Govern-
ments, which are now ultra par excellence.
In the mean time, the French Government
may justly claim great merit for the able, quiet,.
and unostentatious manner, in which it has con-
ducted this delicate business; and as it is a strik-
ing instance of the good sense and liberality of
Villele's administration, we now regret the dif-
ficulties in which this Minister has involved him-
self, by his obstinately persisting in the conver-
sion of the Rentes, in opposition to the sense of the
nation at large. Whatever opposition, and it is
not a slight one, which he has thus created
for himself, will be neutralized, however, by
the popularity of the course he has followed with
respect to Hayti ; and, if he can only weather
the storm which he has rather wantonly pro-
voked, he may enjoy, for many years to come,
the favour of his Sovereign, and the esteem of the
thinkitig part of his countrymen, in a much greater
degree than he possessed them before. By his
policy with respect to Hayti, he is sure to in-
gratiate himself with the whole body of French
manufacturers and merchants, and, what is more,
with every patriotic Frenchman, who will not
fail to see decided tendency to foster the
wealth and industy of France; and to add as much
to her consideration abroad, as to her prosperity at
home. All will depend upon the way in which
Villele will extricate himself from the dilemma
hi which he has entangled himself on the subject
of the Rentes ; for should he succumb in this
affair (an event we should now unfeignedly re-
gret), his fall would probably be the signal tri-
umph of principles, diametrically opposite to
those, which are proclaimed in the Treaty with
St. Domingo. However, as the chances of his
being compelled to resign, have materially sub-
sided in consequence of this most popular pro-
ceeding, we'shall look upon the event itself as
the beginning of a new era in French politics,
and as having a tendency to consolidate the pre-
sent Ministry.

[MORNING CHitONICLE.J
The prices of the Funds on Saturday were
very steady, and the only business transacted was
on terms rather higher than on Friday, which
must be attributed chiefly to the reaction which
occurred in the French Funds o❑ Thursday, as
communicated by the expresses from Paris. The
opening price of Consols for Account was 891.,
when the Market manifested some elasticity, Con-
sols for Account, before eleven• o'olock„ advanc-
ing to SO, while the improvement in Consols for
October was from 90 to 90i. In the latter there
has been much less speculation entered into, and
the continuation does not exceed k per cent.--
The Settling Day has been fixed for the 15th
October, and the Account, therefore, will be of
rather shorter duration than most others. Up to
the close of business scarcely any alteration oc-
curred, Consols for Account remaining
.steady at
89f and 90; Consols for Money are only s per
cent. below what they were sold for time. Un-
less news of a further depression in French Stock
be received this day, it seems to be the gene-
ral opinion that the. Market will at least not give
ray, if there is not. an additional improvement.
The premium on Exchequer Bills was quite as
low as it was on- Friday, but there appeared to
be no scarcity of money, and it is probably owing
to the circulation of a great quantity of bills, which
have not yet made their appearance in the Market.
The prices of Foreign Stock were influenced in
slight degree on Saturday by the firmness dis-
played by our own funds, but the potations
were much below what they were in the begining
of the week. Austrian Bonds have fluctuatf•d
between OS4 and 9ST. Austrian Bonds, which
were on Friday at 96i, rose the next day to 96-i
for money, and for the end of the "month to 97.
In the Greek Scrip there was an improvement of
about 1 per cent. having advanced from 154 to
14.1 par cent. di count ; but for the end of the
Month there is a baccadation of one half per cent.
There was some little demand for Spanish Bonds,
Which have risen 'froth .221 to 294:. In the New
French 3 per Cenr.:Annuities the only bargains
'Made were at 73,75, and 74. The Rentes were
nominally the same as Friday. South American
Bonds may tie quoted only a quarter higher than
that day. The different Shares attracted much
notices owing to the combinations which had been
entered'intO to'fOrCe up the premiums on-them.
The fever in the Lower Rhine Steam Navigation
Share-04d' somewhat subsided, and were nomi-
nally the same as Friday. Report' speaks very
iev'ourably'of the operations of the British Patent
Itock Salt Company, and their Shakes met with a
brisk &mind at an advance of from 11. to 21.
per Share.
