HAYTI.

By the arrival of the Sea we have news from Hayti
to the 18th ult. The news is interesting, particularly
at this time, when the recognition of the independence
of one of the republics en the island is in contemplation
by the United States.

- By a proclamation, dated October 5, the Haytian Go-
vernment calls upon all foreigners residing in the eastern
(that is, the Dominican, part of the island), to with-
draw within a month's tune from that section of the
country, under pain of being considered accomplices of
the insurgents, and punished as such, should they remain.
The Council of State having proceeded to Cape Hay-
:lea, in order to be able to assist the President with their
counsels—that functionary being obliged to absent him-
self from the seat of Government.

The President complain;,—ina proclamation dated
November 4, that the Dominicans have been stirred up
to rebellion by the enemies of the African race, and are
protected by the *me, adding, that they meet with
this protection, because, " with retrograde ideas, not-
withstanding 22 years of confraternity with us, they
have again established slavery among them, and hold
coloured people in the ' shameful chains of bondage.' "
The proclamation coracludes by enacting that every per-
son who shall speak only words tending to sow division
among Haytiens, and to arm the citizens one against the
other, shall be arrested, cast into prison, and given up
to the tribunals, to be dealt with according to law. Au-
thority is given, in the same document, to the military
commanders of thedespartraents, to see that this order is
executed. Hence it xuay be perceived, that the nature
of the power of the Haytien President is the same with
that of an unlimited &spot, since he can make laws as
he pleases, by mere proclamation, and also, that the
people are subject to the most complete slavery, since
military men may carat them iato prison for whatever, in
their judgment, may appear to be the " tendency" of
their conversation.

By another proclantation of a prior date, the cutting
of mahogany wood 1.4 forbidden by the President, in
order to interrupt all oJmmunication with the insurgents
of the east. The cutting is required to be suspended
within twenty-four hours after the proclamation is issued,
which will be published and placarded in all proper
places, and any one f5:42 nd engaged in it, whether toaster
or labourer, is to be Ira mediately arrested, and " incor-
porated in the troops af the line."

SOCIETY OF AIiTS.--The first meeting of the 92d
session was held on Wednesday evening in the large room of
the society, in the Adelpba, when the chair was taken by B.
Bond Cabbell, Esq. Mr. J. Russell, the secretary, read a
report from the council on some proposed alterations which
it was intended to make in the future regulation and conduct
of the society. These were chiefly in the granting of special
premiums for the encouragement of a higher degree of genius
in even the most familiar and shnple works of productive
industry; the augmentati= of the model department; and a
more rapid communication of the proceedings of the society.
or the former of these objects. several liberal offers had been
made by the members, and a confident hope was expressed
that the adoption of the proposed suggestions would infuse a
fresh spirit into the operations of a society which was the
parent of nearly all others, and had expended nearly 100,0001.
in the prosecution of its objects. A paper was read from Mr.
Bodener on the broad and narrow gauge, and some improve-
ments connected with steam-engines for locomotive purposes
were exhibited to the meeting, which was very numerously
attended.

CHELSEA, IMPROVENIENTS.—A correspondent of the
Builder writes, respecting these improvements, as follows :
"My object in writing is, to say there are strange whispers
abroad that many of the alterations are projected solely with
the view of improving the estate of my Lord Cadogan, and
that parish money will actually be spent in doing that which
his Lordship should himself do for his own benefit. There are
several things which seem to confirm this, and I do tope, for
the sake of numbers of the ratepayers who read your now in-
fluential journal, that you will inquire into this matter.
