FRENCH PAPERS.

(From the Journal (In Commerce of Feb. 3.)
PARIS, FEB. 2.—Our letters from Hayti have been de-
livered to us. Several mercantile houses have had the
kindness to communicate others to us: All affirm that
the most perfect tranquillity ha's not ceased to prevail in
the Island., §ettirig aside the uneasiness that might have
been felt from the delay of the letters from France, from
which country the Government of Hayti expected most
interesting news; concerning various stipulations of the
Treaty of Commerce, respecting which there were still
some disputed points, and several arrangements proposed
by that Government kt the fulfilment of its engagements.
Thin Uneasiness has been alniost wholly allayed, as. we
foresaw, by the arrival of the kebe corvette, widen sailed
from Brazil on the 14th October, and carried back to
Hayti M. Villevaleix, Commissioner of the Government.
It arrived on the 29th November, and not the 18th De-
cember, as we yesterday announced from the Havre Paper.
But the following are the most important parts of the
correspondence which we have read, and the authenticity
of which we warrant.
The Government of Hayti had applied to 111. Ldthte,
requesting hith to communicate his ideas on the consolida-
tion and amelioration of the credit of the Republic: M.
Lafitte, having complied with this request, all his propo-
sals have been entirely adopted.
M. Lafitte is appointed Banker of the Republic, and the
care of carrying his own plans into effect is entirely con-
fided to him.

M. Lafitte is also commissioned to complete the pay-
ment to the French Exchequer of the first instalment of
the indemnity, amounting to 30 millions; he is also charged
with the payment of the interest and the redemption of
the first series of the First Loan of the Republic,
The other part of the .plan of M Lafitte, for the erne-
lioration of the public credit, will be successively carried
into effect.
_

The funds, necessary
.for their execution will be sent di-
rectly to M. Lafitte, either in bills of exchange on Europe,
or in money ingots—a produce which will be conveyed to
the house of Lafitte and Co. Havre.

The following Proclamation of the President of Hayti
was published at Port-au-Prince, Bee. 4 :
" HATTIANS !—The circumstances in which the Republic
is placed, make it my duty to accelerate the time when,
according to Art 61 of the Constitution, a new election of
the Members of the Legislature is to take place, to con-
voke you for 10th January, 1827.
" It is for the third time that you are called upon to
exercise the electoral functions ; make yourselves fully sen-
sible of their importance, Far be from you the thought,
that it is sufficient if the greater number are present in the
assemblies ; reflect that the absence of a single good citi-
zen may leave the field open for intrigue and ambition ;
and recollect that the Constitution, when it confided to
you the care of electing the Representatives of the people,
intended that patriotism, united with ability, should alone
obtain your suffrages."
[The above intelligence from Hayti is inserted also in
the Etoilc dated Sunday.]
If we may believe what was related yesterday in the Salon
of Paris, there has been a new insult offered by Count Ap-
pony to the Duke of Dalmatia : his Excellency addressed
a note of invitation to Marshal Soult, studiously omitting
his title of Duke of Dalmatia. The Marshal is said to
have sent it back, expressing, in forcible terms, the senti-
ments he felt at this offensive omission.
It was added, that the Duke of Dalmatia had imme-
diately given an account of the affair to the King, and that
his Majesty had not disapproved of his conduct.
It was also said that the chief officers of the army, and
a great number of Peers, had resolved not to go again to
Count Appony's. In fact, what Frenchman could, with-
out injuring his honour, present himself at the Count's ?
It was, after being completely beaten by Generals Villa
Flor and Claudino, in the province of Beira, that the Por-
tuguese rebels were forced to abandon Alineida and the
whole province. The Marquis and Marchioness of Chaves,
the Brigadier-Gen. Jordao, and the Government of Almei-
da, escaped with 800 men, and re-entered Spain by Aldea
de Abispo. Eight hundrc4 men of the Spanish garrison
of Cuidad Rodrigo marched to meet them, in order to dis-
arm them, but gave them time to repass the Douro and
return into Portugal by the province of Tras-os-Montes.
Mr. Lamb, the English Ambassador, being informed of
this conduct, complained very seriously to the Spanish
Government, and it is in consequence of this complaint
that Gen. Longa, the Governor of Cuidad Rodrigo, and
the Commander of the detachment, have been suspended
from their functions, and are all three brought before a
court-martial. This satisfaction, so promptly given to
the English Government, proves that the positive demon-
strations of the British Cabinet have not been without
effect on the Spanish Government, notwithstanding the
rather haughty tone of its last circular.
We learn also that the Marchioness of Chaves has re-
paired to Madrid, with the permission of the King, and
that the Marquis remains at Salamanca wounded. The
equipages and chief leaders have arrived at Madrid.
After what has passed in the province of Beira, it seems
by no means probable that the insurgents,who have sought
refuge in the northern provinces, have been able to main-
tain their ground.
The English troops are preparing to occupy the frontier
fortresses of Portugal, in the same manner as the French
troops occupy the fortresses of Spain. The London
Journals say, that England requires, as security, the de-
livering up of the fortress of Olivenza, ceded to Spain by
the last Treaties. The last fault of the Spanish Generals
will be a powerful argument in support of the demand.
The ilfedima French frigate sailed from Rio de Ja-
neiro for Valparaiso the 26th of October. On the 2d
November the Diligente sailed for Brest; the Don John
the Sixth, of the line, also bound for Brest, sailed the day
before. This is probably the ship which has been seen off
Ushant, and taken for the Don Pedro. It was said some
time ago, that a Brazilian ship of the line was expected at
Brest to take on board the Infant Don Miguel, and convey
, him to Brazil.

PARIS, FEB. 3.—A letter from Constantinople of 31st
December, says :
" Extraordinary attention has lately been excited by the
burying of a daughter of Mr. Stratford Canning, whose
funeral was accompanied by a Greek Bishop, and who
was buried in a Greek Church, though there are an
English Chapel and burying-ground here. This event
has been for some days the general subject of conversation
among the Franks."
