IIAYTI.

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 on 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 time 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-
tien, 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 complains, in a 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 same, 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 1
coloured people in the 4 shameful chains of bondage.'"
The proclamation concludes by enacting that every per-
son who shall speak any 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 the departments, to see that this order is
executed. Hence it may be perceived, that the nature
of the power of the Haytien President is the same with
that of an unlimited despot, 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 cast them into prison for whatever, in
their judgment, may appear to be the •' tendency" of
their conversation.

By another proclamation of a prior date, the cutting
of mahogany wood is forbidden by the President, in
order to interrupt all communication 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 found engaged in it, whether master
or labourer, is to be immediately arrested, and " incor-
porated in the troops of the line."

Mr. F. Dickinson and Mr. Acland, members for
West Somerset, are veering towards free-trade ; they have
turned a cold shoulder towards the Agricultural Protection
Societies—they deem them imprudent. This is a sign that
promises Mr. Miles the honour of standing alone in his glory.

AMERICAN APPLES.—It has been noticed that the
apples introduced this year from the United States into the
London markets are much more affected than those of this
country, and that few will keep. The disease is equally ex-
tensive and analogous in its propagation to that so general in
potatoes.

REVISION OF THE BUILDINGS ACT.—We are never
willing to find fault, and would at any time step a little way
out of the path of strict duty to avoid hurting the feelings of
a professional brother. Our object in alluding to one or two
instances of unvoiss conduct on the part of district surveyors,
at the present moment, is to induce those who are deputed to
see the Act carried out, to " do their spiriting gently," and
not by an avaricious grasping after fees to increase still fur-
ther the feeling of disapprobation which has been engendered.
If they would consider for a moment, as we well know a large
number of the body do, that they hold their office for the
protection of the public, and not for their own personal ad-
vantage, their eourse of action would often be different from
what it is. The Act is not put into an officer's hands simply
