NEW KINGDOM OF HAYTI.

f PRIVATE LETTER.]

CAPE HEN ItY, this Tr/ Sept. 1 919,-- Year IG.

Sin--Since my last letters the Gov,miment has
seen it in its power to put in execution several
parts of its great plan, such as the concessiun of
lantr to the Officers, under Officers, and soldiers
of the guard and army-•=a plan which has already
shewn all the advantage which ought reasonably
to be expected, The lauds granted to the guard,
which atoontits• to eight thousand men, -are given
in the environs of citadel Henry, in such manner
at the stroke of a drum to rally that force to the
point required ; and Co facilitate the culture to
which these braVe fellows are going to turn them-
selves, Government has resolved to. make the ac-
quisition of a considerable quantity of furrowing
took, and other cultivatihg mensils,which have al-
en been ordered for our friends in London. Ills
Majesty noes nrore---he assists them in their esta-
blishments; he givesrewards to those who many,
either in ca!tle or any other encouragement, or
money, so that they may enrich themselves, and
enable them.to buy other portions of laud when
they have large families. Orders have likewise
Leen given by the government, to make contracts
for 25,000 harrels of flour, 1000 barrels of beef,
and as many of poik ; and contracts have been.
made. for these ptovi,ions with several American.
merchants ; the first supplies will artive in 20
clays, and the rest at intervals of 15 days. 1 esti-
mate that the Government will expend from 3 to.
400,000 dollars to assist these new inhabitants lots
their establishments. It will he seery what it is to,
have ample means hand, 'and to know how to
make use of it for the general good and common.
happiness ; and it may he judged what a like Go-
vernment.cando, when it determines itself upon a.
thing with desire to accomplish it.

. We have received many overtures front Jamaica
and flow Martinique, to treat with France.'
truth I do not know what to think of these pro•
posals v. hat can they be called but insignificant ?
for it is not with Maitinique !nor Jamaica that
business can be done : it is directly with the
French Government, and to do that, it must de-
clare itself openly, and without shueng upon.
the Independence of Hayti an:l the Govern-
ment ; it is in vain to eloigoe the thing, to make
us declare before laying down the basis of- the
negotiation : we will never do it ; and the more
it shall persist, the more It wir put its upon our
guard, nod perhaps it will oblige us to some sreps
elsewhere, which will break for ever. the hope cm
arriving isra reasonable arrangement. If that Go-
vernosrot knew better nor situation,or would bring
theioselvtls to what instructed
.persoos advance,
it would see that it loses a favourable opporto-
akity to run atter a chimera. You. have tztten
'conversed with me upon -many important points
which occupy the Government ; now you have it
in your power 'to se-e.them develope themselves
daily do not believe all the -folliea which Ilkey
circulate at! ['atilt, upon this part hree, with the
Other part of ;be south wee ; believe that neither
the one nor the otheecatt attempt any thing to
Imrt us ; do not believe a single word of what they
tell, that Boyer has intention to march against
us, or us against bait ; Buyer's plan is to keep
himself quiet. ! The war he has sustained with
German, who has but a banditti of men, badly
armed, and without ammunition for nine in:Milks
past, gives you the measure of what he ran do and
undertake its that respect.. Alitoolred intriguers,
issued fortli from all counqies, are assembled at
Putt-au! Prince, and do all they cap to prevcilt
the communication of that ,people with this.—
They have moce to fear for their lives, and tie
little booty which they amass with difficulty,
thau to attempt hostile proceedings agait,st
To preserve their infloence, they obliged to
abandon the people to licentiousness and bar-
barism, without being able to repress it'. They
cannot impose their falsehoods on the public, hot
at two thousand leagues from them, by their.
miserable Gazettes, which the Haytians do not
lead, and which are printed! but to acted to Eu-
rope. Those people will not presume to march
(even supposing that some troops might follow
them) against a disciplined army, which exercises
daily, and has a flying artillery -of twenty pieces
of camoon, and officers acknowledged the best
in Hayti; hesides, you have seen the troops of
the King's Guard exercise; you saw them'at Cape
Henry, wh::n his Majesty was there. The fact is,
that. lii. Majesty has taken the resolution not to
make war with the troops of the south-crest, be-
eanse,his policy 'demands to take care of otirseives
in case ,the common enemy shottld conic ; peo-
ple who do. not know this, non' pretend that
we are going to march against Boyer, then that
Boyer is going to march against us-=nonsense:
• We have had a visit from Admiral Popham ; lie
staid some days here, and saw the King ; he was
treated and coi»plimented wherever he went:-
Sir George Collier has also passed some days
here, after coming ell{ a entice on the Coast of
Africa against the trailers in human flesh ; he has

,• Yesterday, about twelve o'clock, an explosion
of inflammable air took phce in a coal-mine at
Wet Thorn. Ati extent of above 300 feet was in-
stantaneously exploded. Three 'men, according
to custom, were worinkg nearly naked in the
mine at the time; one of them was only slightly
h.qt, but the other two were almost completely
fliyed wi:h the ignition ; and 'hell. flesh ' was
dreadfully lacerated in consequence of their bein4
tosse<l through, the stoe-terraneous recess, i•ither_
by
the ditcet force of the explosion, or by the
violent recoil of the atmosphere to restore

their houses, and medical ant-. immediately pro-
Lured ; hut, we arty sot ry to say, one of them died
seven hours atterwar.ds ; and the other,- though
srtll in life, is nest expected to smvive long • It is
pt opur to state, that though' provided with one of.
D ivy's safety lamps, they had unfortunately nag.
