apt the monarchs of every country, whatever may,
he their cause or claim,. are •to bring in that
Sacred Nami-, carefully adding the sword to sup-
port their cause, be it ever so iniquitous.
, Nearly the whole of the Royal Gazette is taken;
up with a piece entitled, •" The Appaiition of the
.White Flagon the Coit'st ofilayti 1"--Showing,t hat
! the king of France had lat 4 sent out two vessels
~ 'I
of svar, the commanders of which were instructed'
-to make proposals to the people of St. Domingo-,
to return under the Government of France. The
commanders., however, Probably knowing the
fierce and itespotic temper of his sable majesty,
did nut Verittere to enter the part. of Cape henry,
but stood off and on for sever,d days, until they
in!:t a vessel from New York, which they board.
eO, arid prevailed 'on the eaptain and supercargo
to carry in, two' letters to be Cape, doubtless ex-
iilaining the nature of the. proposals (thine Freud'
Government.. The Duke of Marnntlarle liti*iog
come down to the fort ,to receive the letters,
" nothing (says the Royal Gazette) can express
the astonishment and indignation of liis grace,
s' hen' he perceived the insolent superscription of
these papers, which instead of being most re-
spectfully addressed to " his ;Majesty the King
of flayti," were only directed to " lAronsieur the
General Christophe, at Cape Francais." This
horrible indignity to his sable Majesty was re-
sented by his Grace, in returning the letters' un-
opened to the Americans, who, we may imagine,
had heels forced late this perilous mission, and i
who made all the speed they could from the it,-

dignation of the black multitude, happy t being
able to bring themselves off with their lives.

This is a brief hot fair abstract of a long story,
told in the trite style of Hayden hyperbole, and
from which it appears, thit the'bierk king of
Finy„ti is as jealous•of hi's royal titles as tiny whi:e
legitimate in any part of the world.

trom all we have been able to ;earn, 0-Jere is
a wide difference of ettaracter,between the king of
Hayti and the President Petion.—Tite one is re.
preseutell to be 33 despotic stnti eruct as tie Dcy

or argiers the other, as governing hiv peovk
with tonne respect to taw, Lenity, And joi=tie, lie
this as it may, a greet parr of the spiotrition story

is levelled at the comtnet of Potion, who is ar•
timed, ifi very Iterimouins terms, as being se•
eretly leagnett with the French Government, in
order to bring the Irhole of St. Domingo under
the enbjection ul Louis the IStft.

We are not enabled to pronounce on the truth
curse UCCllliiii()flS, but it Seems dear to as, that
ritese' rival chiefs cannot long be at pace, that
they'must come to blows, each of them aiming at
the 'sole dominion of the country.---Which of
them will obtain the mastery, and whether, in

their personal wars and contentions, the king of
Fiance may contrive to regain the dominion of
thin once Brent and flourishing cuiony, more vit-
luable than all the other West lnuia isl Antis be-
si4les, is yet a matter of very uncertain con-
lecture.
